GERD, gastroesophageal reflux disease or simply reflux, is a common condition that affects up to 20% of the population. The most common reflux symptom is chronic heartburn, but it's not the only symptom.
Other symptoms of GERD include:
- Belching
- Chronic sore throat
- Difficulty or pain when swallowing
- Waterbrash (sudden excess of saliva)
- Hoarseness
- Sour taste in the mouth (due to regurgitation)
- Bad breath
- Inflammation of the gums
- Erosion of tooth enamel (the surface of the teeth)
- Nausea (less frequently)
NOTE: Chest pain is also a symptom of heartburn. However, it is often difficult to differentiate chest pain due to heartburn/GERD and chest pain due to heart disease. Therefore, be sure to get all chest pain evaluated IMMEDIATELY by a health care professional.
Sometimes, there are no symptoms, and reflux is only diagnosed when complications (see below) arise.
How Is Reflux Diagnosed?
First, your doctor will review your symptoms of reflux with you and do a complete physical exam.
If he or she believes that you have GERD, usually you will be given a trial run of GERD medications (most often, proton pump inhibitors such as Rabeprazole [Aciphex], Dexlansoprazole [Dexilant], Esomeprazole [Nexium) Lansoprazole [Prevacid], Omeprazole [Prilosec, Zegerid], and Pantoprazole [Protonix]), for a minimum of two weeks to see if you experience relief.
In some instances, further testing, such as an upper endoscopy or pH testing, may be needed to aid in a GERD diagnosis.
What Causes Reflux?
There is no known single cause of reflux. What we know is that it occurs when the normal defenses of the esophagus are overwhelmed by acid refluxing into it from the stomach.
Normally, stomach acid is kept in the stomach by a muscular valve between it and the esophagus called the lower esophageal sphincter. If that valve is faulty for any reason, reflux occurs.
Factors that may contribute to GERD include smoking, alcohol, being overweight or pregnant, the use of certain medications, chronic constipation, and consumption of GERD-aggravating foods (which vary on an individual basis but may include fatty or spicy foods, caffeine, and peppermint).
The symptoms of reflux are a result of the damage caused by stomach acid that has entered the esophagus (heartburn, belching), higher into the throat (hoarseness, sore throat), or even into the mouth (sour taste in the mouth, regurgitation, erosion of tooth enamel) or lungs (causing cough or asthma).
How Is Reflux Treated?
Reflux is usually treated with a combination of prescription medications and lifestyle changes. More serious cases can require surgery.
What Happens if Reflux Goes Untreated?
Besides the obvious effect on quality of life, untreated reflux can lead to some serious complications. They include:
- Esophagitis. This is an irritation and inflammation of the lining of the esophagus caused by stomach acid.
- Dysphagia. Over time, untreated GERD causes difficulty swallowing. This may be a result of peptic stricture (narrowing), which is the result of the healing process of ulcerative esophagitis.
- Barrett's esophagus. The chronic exposure to stomach acid can cause changes in the cells of the esophagus that may be precancerous.
- Esophageal cancer. Years of exposure to stomach acid may cause cancer of the esophagus.

Target: CEO of YouTube, Salar Kamangar
Goal: Ban all pro-dog fighting videos on YouTube
The brutality of dog fighting is a universal fact, yet every person with internet access has the ability to watch the violent sport. The video-hosting website YouTube features thousands of videos relating to dog fighting, many of which are gruesome and disturbing. These videos could be seen by children, or they could be utilized by someone hoping to start practicing dog fighting. By hosting dog fighting videos, YouTube puts both dogs and humans at risk.
Dog fighting is notorious for its barbarism, and there have been many steps made to end it. On YouTube, however, dog fighting enthusiasts post videos of recent fights, and, even more disturbingly, instructional videos on how to be successful in the bloody sport. This only encourages people to take up the sport, and so it puts dogs everywhere at risk. The bloody fight footage is a potential danger for children who might be playing on YouTube, as well.
These bloody and disturbing videos should not be allowed to be published on YouTube because they only promote violence and animal cruelty. They put dogs, children, and people of all ages at risk, and they encourage a barbaric sport that will hopefully soon be obsolete. Demand that YouTube ban all pro-dog fighting videos.
Dear Mr. Kamangar,
YouTube offers millions of videos to billions of people, and while many of these videos provide entertainment and education, some of them promote violent practices. The videos published glorifying dog fighting, and instructing others on how to properly begin dog fighting, need to be taken down and banned.
Such videos promote a violent and barbaric practice that the world is trying to end. If there are no more videos published advocating this sport, there will be that much less information out there for people to learn from. These videos can also be seen by children and teenagers, and the footage is always disturbing. Dog fighting is an obviously brutal activity, and all videos advocating for it must be taken down.

There is more than one way to skin a cat. Technology has forgotten this phrase, but the notion that there can be different approaches to achieve a desired result (namely huge sales and profit margins) needs to be relearned. Here's hoping a certain California courtroom will be host to the first lesson…
That's right, I want Apple to win its eye watering $2.5bn (£1.5bn) copyright lawsuit with Samsung and I want it to win comprehensively. This is not because I am a fan of Apple, it is because I am a fan of innovation and creativity and the technology sector should be too. Minimalist, mono-coloured devices and walled garden software is not the only way and if it takes a courtroom to set a clear legal precedent that minutia cannot obscure blatant copying it will force companies to go down new routes. New, different, potentially groundbreaking, routes.
The arguments on each side are straightforward. Apple: "Samsung must play by the rules. It must invent its own stuff. Its flagrant copying and massive infringement must stop." Samsung: "Apple's overreaching claim for damages is a natural extension of its attempts to monopolise the marketplace."
Of course the arguments are gross generalisations. Apple has done its fair share of flagrant copying over the years. Most famously it claims to have invented the mouse and graphical user interface, but both ideas were actually thought up by Xerox - Apple popularised them. Stones and glasshouses. That said I take bigger issue with the attitude expressed by Samsung that the damages claim is an "extension of its attempts to monopolise the marketplace" - as if Apple's way will win if we aren't allowed to copy a bit. It is a perspective that rots the tech industry. Sod Apple's way, find your own and win with that!
If that scenario sounds intimidating - given Apple 'has a way' of doing things and seemingly most others do not - the alternative is downright terrifying. Samsung is trying to dismiss Apple's claims based on tiny technicalities, from the angles of curves to the colour tones of icons. It is a smart move legally, but should it win the grounds to enforce copyright will be virtually non-existent. Top Gear lampooned the situation in China (above) where a lack of enforceable copyright has led to copies of just about every conceivable item and a similar fate would ensue.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I mentioned a while back our previous dog had thyroid issues. I would say yes, that going off meds could cause the shedding. Before we were on medication we got a couple comments from other dog owners about her coat. One was that she had rat tail. She lost lots of hair on her tail so it literally looked like a rat tail and these dog owners told us it was a sign of low thyroid. The other comments were " she must me an indoor dog, her coat seems too thin and soft". When we did get the medication at the correct dosage, as far as her coat went, frequent dandruff, hot spots, and her skin didn't tolerate being wet frequently like if we took her swimming or if it rained a lot. We had to thoroughly dry her off.
|Harry and Lola
|Great thanks guys, makes sense. I wish I hadn't been so lax, she has a beautiful coat and was really looking forward to her winter coat this year, don't think I'll see that now. Other than the hair loss I haven't noticed any other symptoms.
|Thyroid issues cause hair loss. Usually bi-laterally along the sides. Get her back on her meds and the hair will come back. It may take a little while for the meds to regulate her system and stop the hair loss.
|Mary Beth
Yes, it could be according to this article:
Thyroid Hormone Deficiency in Dogs | petMD
Since she was off her meds for a month and with the excessive shedding, you may want to check with your vet to see if a thyroid test is needed. It may be lower and the dosage she was on needs adjusting.
|Harry and Lola
Thyroid issues and excessive fur shedding?
Lola has thyroid issues and is on Oroxine twice a day, however I ran out of Oroxine and it took me a week to get to the Vets for a prescription and then another 3 weeks for my online medical supplier to delivery it, so she was not on her medication for about 4 weeks. I have the meds now and she has been on them for a week. I have noticed over the past couple of weeks that she is shedding huge amounts of hair (mainly undercoat) when I brush her, I have never seen so much fur come out. We are in Australia in Autumn season, coming up to winter so she should not be shedding so much.
Any ideas as to why she would be shedding so much fur coming up to winter, do you think this has anything to do with the fact she was off her thyroid meds for so long?

How do I get to Top Dead Center? Talk me through it like I was a Idiot cos I can screw up the obvious.
How do I get to Top Dead Center? Talk me through it like I was a Idiot cos I can screw up the obvious.
1997 Defender 110 300Tdi
Forgot to mention T.D.C. on No 1 cylinder, you see, I'm an idiot!!
1997 Defender 110 300Tdi
An easy way to find TDC is by removing the injector, and inserting a length of thin steel rod into the hole until it touches the piston.
Then you slowly rotate the engine by using a spanner on the crankshaft pulley nut. MAKE SURE YOU DISCONNECT THE BATTERY BEFORE YOU DO THIS.
You will see the rod rise and fall. when it's at its highest point, that's TDC.
However, there's two times in each revolution of the engine when a piston is at TDC. The first time is when it compresse the air/fuel mixture and ignition takes place, and the second time is when it ejects the burned fuel through the exhaust valve.
If you need to find TDC at the time of firing, then you must remove the tappet cover and look at the tappets above the cylinder you are checking. You will see that they open and close as you rotate the engine. When a tappet presses down on the valve stem, the valve opens. When the valve is closed, there will be a small gap between the tappet and the valve stem.
If the piston is at TDC and one of the valves is open, then that cylinder is in its exhaust stroke.
If the piston is at TDC, and both valves are closed (neither tappet is pressing against a valve stem), then the cylinder is at TDC on its compression stroke, and would ordinarily be firing at that point.
I hope that isn't too confusing.

The exhaust valve is closing and the inlet starts to open just before TDC.
A quick way to find TDC is turn the engine while you touch the rockers with your fingers, when you feel one start to move down as the other is coming up, then rock the crank, you will feel the point the valves pass each other. Get them even and the engine is a TDC.
The more accurate way, as you say, it to take a glow plug or injector out, but you can still have the crank a couple of degrees before or after TDC. You are best using a timing mark on the cover or in the flywheel.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, the trouble is, yours is ridiculous.
Thanx guys, I need T.D.C on 1 so that I can remove the vacuum pump, does it matter if its on the exhaust or firing ?
1997 Defender 110 300Tdi
AFAIKR it won't make a difference to Mike whether he's at either TDC if it's just the vacuum pump he's replacing. I don't even think it's entirely necessary to put the cylinder at TDC in any case, it just makes reassembly easier.

I don't think it matters; I think the point of the workshop manual insisting that you find TDC at firing is that you can then insert a dowel into the injection pump (by removing the small round timing cover to the timing belt housing) and lock its position, and at the same time fit a pin into the bottom of the flywheel and fix ITS position. By doing so, you know that the valves and fuel system parts are EXACTLY aligned, so you avoid what might be a costly mistake arising from misalignment when starting the engine later.

It is easy to remove the airbag warning decals from the front side of the sun visors in a Cayman S. I have done this on several cars and never had a problem. The decals are the ones that look like this:
The first step is to gather the materials. You will need Goof Off. Goof Off is a harsh solvent sold in hardware stores in a little tin with a spout, much like the old cigarette lighter fluid cans. You must use this product, not any of the milder products available. You will also need masking tape, tweezers, cotton balls or make-up removal pads, a damp cloth, a dry towel, and some protective sheets or towels.
Gather the supplies and place them on your garage floor where you can reach them from inside the car. Cover the dash board with a towel to protect it. This is not necessary, but always a good idea. Next examine the decal on the side of the sun visor facing you when it is not flipped down - the side without the vanity mirror. That is the decal which we will remove. Note that the decal is slightly bigger than the printed area - there is a little clear border. Mask the visor area around the decal very close to the edge of the decal, but do not mask over the clear edge of the decal. Mask all four sides.
Moisten a cotton ball - personally I prefer the make-up removal pad - with Goof Off. How much? Enough to get the pad noticeably wet. Now rub over the decal in strokes both across and up and down a few times. You will very quickly see that small bubbles form on the decal. Rub across again up and down, side to side. Don't worry about the visor, the masking tape will keep it mostly free of the Goof Off. Within about 25 seconds the decal will begin to loosen. Use the tweezers to pick at a corner. It should be easy to lift a bit of the decal in a corner.
It will feel rubbery, stretchy. If it isn't yet lifting or stretchy, rub a bit more Goof Off on the decal and wait another 10 seconds. When you are able to lift a corner, use your fingers to grab the label and pull it off, carefully peeling it back. Don't pull too hard or fast, you want it to peel off in one piece. If you put your masking tape too close, over the edge of the decal, then you may find that a little of the decal stays put. don't worry.
Once the big part of the decal is pulled off, use the pad with the Goof Off to wipe the remaining glue residue off of the visor and any remaining pieces of the decal. Wiping up the extra glue residue will not hurt your visor, it didn't hurt mine. Next quickly remove the masking tape. Then use the clean, damp cloth to clean up and remove all trace of the Goof Off. Then dry the visor. It should be perfect.
I found that there is a slightly raised backing for the decal in the visor, so it looks like a shadow of the decal remains in certain light. It is the shape of the visor, not anything on the surface of the visor.
It took me just six or seven minutes per side to do the job. The visor was completely unharmed and looks perfect.
Cautions: Don't leave the Goof Off on the decal for longer than necessary, I understand that it will melt the decal and it becomes messy and more difficult to remove. That has never happened to me, it has always just peeled off. Also, don't spill the Goof Off, it is potentially nasty stuff. You may find some way to hurt yourself, your car, your cat - I take no responsibility. Be careful, it should be fine

I think Arizona campuses just got a little safer!!
This is a discussion on Guns on campus OK'd by Arizona Senate within the The Second Amendment & Gun Legislation Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Guns on campus OK'd by Arizona Senate By Howard Fischer Capitol Media Services Published: Saturday, June 27, 2009 2:16 AM MST PHOENIX Saying it ...
Thoughts?Guns on campus OK'd by Arizona Senate
By Howard Fischer
Capitol Media Services
Published: Saturday, June 27, 2009 2:16 AM MST
PHOENIX Saying it will make people safer, state senators voted Friday to let people with concealed weapons permits carry them onto college and university campuses where they are now forbidden.
The 15-6 vote on the provision in HB 2439 came after backers said they believe that having people who are licensed by the state to have weapons should cut down on the number of massacres that occur on campuses. And Sen. John Huppenthal, R-Chandler, said that has happened in Arizona.
He did not refer by name to the 2002 incident at the University of Arizona where three instructors at the College of Nursing were slain by student Robert S. Flores Jr. who then turned the gun on himself.
But Huppenthal said the evidence shows that it makes sense, from a safety standpoint, to let people carry guns.
The states that have concealed carry (laws) have statistically significant smaller mass shootings, he said.
Huppenthal said he would not support guns on public school campuses, saying Arizona has no history of massacres on those campuses.
The situation is different in our universities, he said.
Weve had a mass shooting in our universities, Huppenthal continued. We sort of have a track record of not being safe in our universities.
And he said that, based on the research, allowing those who have concealed weapons permits to bring them onto campuses would mean our universities would be safer.
University of Arizona lobbyist Greg Fahey said his school opposes allowing anyone to have guns on campus. And Fahey said hes not convinced that rule should be waived for those with permits to carry concealed weapons even though they have undergone background checks, training in state laws and been shown to be proficient in the use of the gun.
Our chief of police and the police of all three universities have consistently said that their experience is that having people with guns is just more of an invitation to have accidents, to have problems, Fahey said. And they dont want anyone whos not a sworn officer being armed on campus.
But Huppenthal said hes not convinced that students and faculty are safer with gun-free campuses.
The senator said his requests for information from universities shows they havent done any careful analysis of the crimes. And what they have done, he said, only involves those crimes on campus.
But the truth is, theres a large number of rapes of coeds as they leave campus and they go to their home, Huppenthal said. He said these women are forced to leave any guns at home and leave themselves vulnerable while walking to class because current rules prohibit weapons on campus.
I think Arizona campuses just got a little safer!!
CCW permit holder for Idaho, Utah, Pennsylvania, Maine and New Hampshire. I can carry in your country but not my own.
Wish this applied to ALL schools.. It is GREAT for the Colleges, but what about the kid too??
Chances of other states doing the same thing? I am hoping for VA next.

Ok.. This is quoted from Dustin's gun blog,..
It would still allow people to get a CCW permit if they choose to in order to gain certain additional benefits such as reciprocity granted by other States that don't yet have constitutional carry laws, or to carry in current restricted areas under specific conditions, such as to carry onto school grounds while dropping off or picking up a child.
If this is correct and it did indeed pass then a person should be able to carry concealed (with permit) when pickiing up and dropping off on school grounds?

Right. Wait until after the corpses pile up. Good call.Huppenthal said he would not support guns on public school campuses, saying Arizona has no history of massacres on those campuses.1. Where exactly did they accumulate all this experience working with legally armed students?"Our chief of police and the police of all three universities have consistently said that their experience is that having people with guns is just more of an invitation to have accidents, to have problems,'' Fahey said.
2. So disarming officers would reduce accidents and problems?
Well, it's definitely a step in the right direction. College "kids" are the same age as the men and women we send abroad with rifles and rucksacks. And, no matter where a person goes, he or she should not be stripped of self-protection.
"The flock sleep peaceably in their pasture at night because Sheepdogs stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
Don't get excited just yet. The bill died this morning. Six republicans who said they would vote for it decided not to show up, so it failed by 1 stinkin' vote! The legislative year is up now in AZ, so we'll have to try again next time. I have already contacted my representative to inform him how displeased I am with his failure to show.
More info...The Republicans missing during the final vote were Nancy Barto (R7), Rich Crandall (R19), Adam Driggs (R11), Bill Konopnicki (R5), Lucy Mason (R1), and Doug Quelland (R10).
Sine Die is the Latin term the Arizona Legislature uses to signify the adjournment of the legislative session. The Senate adjourned this morning, July 1, 2009 at 7:30 AM. The House adjourned at 7:31 AM. Its officially over folks. Unless a Special Session is called by the Governor, we have a 6 month reprieve on any further legislative meddling in our lives.
Unfortunately HB 2439, the AzCDL-requested CCW training reform bill that was amended to include Petty Offense and Defensive Display language, failed in the House at 5:10 AM this morning. It passed in the Senate Third Read by a 18-5-7 vote around 2 AM but when it was voted on in the House Final Read, it failed by one vote, 30-10 with 20 (Yes, twenty!) members not voting. Five of those twenty who were not present for the vote were Republicans who had indicated to us that they would vote for the bill. If they had been present, HB 2439 would have easily passed. You can find how every Representative voted here: Format Document . The Republicans missing during the final vote were Nancy Barto (R7), Rich Crandall (R19), Adam Driggs (R11), Bill Konopnicki (R5), Lucy Mason (R1), and Doug Quelland (R10). If you are in their Districts, please keep this in mind next November.
Despite the setback with HB 2439, there are four pro-rights bills that made it through the legislative gauntlet and are headed to the governors desk. They are SB 1113, SB 1168, SB 1243 and SB 1449.
SB 1113, a Restaurant Carry bill laden with concessions to appease opponents, passed in the House Third Read yesterday (6/30/09) by a 40-19-1 vote. Early this morning, it passed the Senate Final Read by a 19-8-3 vote. In the final version of SB 1113:
- Open carry is not allowed in places serving alcohol. The firearm must be concealed.
- Only individuals with CCW permits may carry a concealed firearm where alcohol is served.
- The individual legally carrying the firearm may not consume alcohol.
- The penalty for violating the law is a class 3 misdemeanor.
- Establishments may prohibit firearms by posting a sign in a specified location.
- It is an affirmative defense if the person violating the law was not informed of the notice, the sign had fallen down, the person is not a resident of Arizona, or the posted sign has not been up for 30 days.
- However, lack of knowledge (by Arizona residents only) that firearms are prohibited in establishments serving alcohol is no longer a valid defense.
SB 1168 is the Senate bill containing the strike everything amendment substituting the language of HB 2474. It passed the Senate Final Read by a vote of 18-9 with 3 not voting. SB 1168 prevents any private or public employer, property owner, etc., from banning any person from keeping a firearm in a locked vehicle in a parking area on the property, with specific limited exceptions. HB 2474, the original Parking Lot bill, passed in the House and made it through Senate committees but was dropped when SB 1168 made it through the process first.
SB 1243 passed the House Third Read by a vote of 42-12-6 on June 29. Since the language in SB 1243 remained unchanged, it was sent back to the Senate where it was formally sent to the Governor this morning. SB 1243 is the AzCDL-requested bill that codifies the defensive display of a firearm.
Another very important bill that passed this session is SB 1449 which applies, retroactively, statutory changes relating to justification defenses in all cases in which the defendant did not plead guilty or no contest that were submitted to the fact finder as of April 24, 2006. In plain language this means that the restoration of the innocent until proven guilty language that passed out of the Legislature via SB 1145 in 2006 retroactively applies to cases pending at the time of passage. The most infamous of these was the trial of Harold Fish, who defended himself while hiking and was prosecuted under the 1997 guilty until proven innocent law. Even though SB 1145 became law in the middle of Mr. Fishs trial, he was convicted under the older law. You can read more about Mr. Fishs case here: Harold Fish Defense .
This has been a very bizarre legislative session. With the focus almost entirely on the budget, very little time was spent on non-budget bills, and there was a mad rush to end the session and filter out as many bills as possible. Without the constant pressure YOU provided via your emails, letter and phone calls, AzCDLs representatives (who went home this morning after staying all night lobbying and counting votes at the Capitol) would not have been able to keep pro-rights bill in the pipeline. Pat yourselves on the back Job Well Done!
Unfortunately, were not out of the woods yet. The Legislature may have adjourned but the Governor now has a stack of bills on her desk to sign, ignore or veto. Her priority is the budget. The Legislature deliberately waited until Sine Die to send the budget to the Governor. If she vetoes the budget, state bureaucracies grind to a halt. A do over budget will require the Governor to call a Special legislative session, with more delays. It boils down to gamesmanship and who blinks first. All the non-budget bills might become pawns in the power struggle.
Meanwhile, the next step is to start asking the Governor to sign these bills. Her email address is firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also fax a letter to her at 602-542-1381. Or you can mail it to her at the following address:
The Honorable Jan Brewer
Governor of Arizona
1700 West Washington
Phoenix, Arizona 85007
You can call her office, toll free, at 1-800-253-0883 or 602-543-4331.
You can also go to the Governors website, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer - Contact Form, where you will find a fill-in-the-blanks form to register your opinion. For "subject", scroll down and select "Legislation." For "topic", fill in the number of the bill you are making a comment on (e.g., SB 1243). In the message/comment area, leave a polite message asking her to sign the bill you are referring to. We recommend a separate message for each bill.

It's not all about the massacres. Admittedly, the likelihood of a massacre is low, but still needs to be defended against.
At any rate, a major reason for this is because college campuses aren't immune from regular crime. In fact, they're pretty high up on robbery, assault, etc. And the areas surrounding a campus are always quite run down and full of unsavory types.
I am glad that AZ laws are getting even better. A person not consuming alcohol should be able to Conceal Carry inside that establishment.

Indentation stiffness does not discriminate between normal and degraded articular cartilage
Brown, Cameron P., Crawford, Ross W., & Oloyede, Adekunle (2007) Indentation stiffness does not discriminate between normal and degraded articular cartilage. Clinical Biomechanics, 22(7), pp. 843-848.
|PDF (880kB)
Background Relative indentation characteristics are commonly used for distinguishing between normal healthy and degraded cartilage. The application of this parameter in surgical decision making and an appreciation of articular cartilage biomechanics has prompted us to hypothesise that it is difficult to define a reference stiffness to characterise normal articular cartilage.
Method This hypothesis is tested for validity by carrying out biomechanical indentation of articular cartilage samples that are characterised as visually normal and degraded relative to proteoglycan depletion and collagen disruption. Compressive loading was applied at known strain rates to visually normal, artificially degraded and naturally osteoarthritic articular cartilage and observing the trends of their stress-strain and stiffness characteristics.
Findings While our results demonstrated a 25% depreciation in the stiffness of individual samples after proteoglycan depletion, they also showed that when compared to the stiffness of normal samples only 17% lie outside the range of the stress-strain behaviour of normal samples.
Interpretation We conclude that the extent of the variability in the properties of normal samples, and the degree of overlap (81%) of the biomechanical properties of normal and degraded matrices demonstrate that indentation data cannot form an accurate basis for distinguishing normal from abnormal articular cartilage samples with consequences for the application of this mechanical process in the clinical environment.

Wittenberg Series Welcomes Historian Eric Foner To Present William A. Kinnison Endowed Lecture Nov. 14
Published Nov. 8, 2013
Springfield, Ohio – The 2013-14 Wittenberg Series presents the William A. Kinnison Endowed Lecture, featuring Historian Eric Foner, the DeWitt Clinton professor of history at Columbia University, at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 14, in Bayley Auditorium in the Barbara Deer Kuss Science Center.
Foner is a nationally recognized expert in the Civil War, reconstruction, slavery and 19th century America. He will make a presentation titled "The Emancipation of Abraham Lincoln" at the evening event after presenting a colloquium at 2 p.m. in Ness Auditorium in Hollenbeck Hall.
Foner is an award-winning author of such books as Free Soil, Free Labor, Free Men: The Ideology of the Republican Party Before the Civil War (1970), Reconstruction: America's Unfinished Revolution 1863-1877 (1988), The Story of American Freedom (1998), and other works that have been translated into multiple languages. His most recent work, The Fiery Trial: Abraham Lincoln and American Slavery (2010), earned a Pulitzer Prize for History, the Bancroft Prize and the Lincoln Prize.
In addition, Foner has served as president of the Organization of American Historians, the American Historical Association and the Society of American Historians. He has also been a curator of two prize-winning museum exhibitions: A House Divided: America in the Age of Lincoln and America's Reconstruction: People and Politics after the Civil War.
His expertise in American history was acknowledged by the New York Council for the Humanities as Scholar of the Year in 1995, and his teaching skills earned Foner the Great Teacher Award from the Society of Columbia Graduates in 1991. He also earned the Presidential Award for Outstanding Teaching from Columbia University in 2006.
After earning his bachelor's degree from Columbia in 1963, Foner attended Oriel College at Oxford University, where he received an additional bachelor's degree. He returned to Columbia to earn his Ph.D. in 1969. Prior to teaching at his alma mater, Foner served as a professor at the City University of New York, Princeton and the University of Cambridge.
The William A. Kinnison Endowed Lecture in History was established under the auspices of the Board of Directors of Wittenberg University with the assistance of numerous benefactors to honor Kinnison, the university's president from 1974-95, on the occasion of his retirement.
In its 31st year, the Wittenberg Series continues to bring distinguished lecturers and performing artists of national and international prominence to the Wittenberg campus and Springfield community.

Don't have any tint in the front and I believe there is no legal limit to the rear windows. Cops don't have much to do in the Bay Area so I tinted mine only 35% in the front. No problems yet.
03 Wagon WRB
My Mods/Pics
I got pulled over a few months ago in michigan for my tints. I have 20% on all four doors then 5% on my rear window and nothing on my front. The cop was cool and we started to talk about cars and he wanted to know if I ever raced an STI and if my WRX won and stuff like that. He gave me a ticket for my tints. So the next day I took my two front door tints off and took my car to the police station and got the ticket waved. Later that day I got my car re-tinted, and the next day the same cop pulled me over again! He was nice and told me he would give me a week to take them off or he is gonna give me another ticket (he didnt know I go it re-tinted). I havent seen him since, but lets just say I have been rolliung with my windows down more.
This is what it looks like:
I just got my windows tinted last week...the lightest tint the shop provided. Today, some ahole of a twit with lights on top pulls me over Anway, he says that he pulled me over for my window tint, then suddenly remembers that you can't pull someone over in PA just for window tint, so then says I was driving "quickly around corners". I pointed to the pizza, salad, and 2 gallons of milk in my passenger seat and said that I didn't think I was, otherwise I would spill this stuff.
Anyway, this crankmeister pulls out 2 little light meters, and proceeds to "verify my light transmittance" through my front drivers window. I was pretty confident as I had specifally told the shop the lightest tint possible, so it would be legal.
Well, the meter comes up at 25% . He then said the legal limit was 70% and that he was going to issue me a citation. I had been yessirring and nossiring him the whole time, being as calm and polite as possible, but I kind of lost it at this point. I told him I'm 42 years old, a wife and 3 kids, and that he could obviously see into my car, and in fact all the way through both windows to the other side. He just shook his head and asked for my drivers liscense. I started grumbling and he says "Look buddy, I could also give you a ticket for that wing on the back, that thing on your hood, and your exhaust. I looked him in the eye and said "Maybe you want to issue it to Subaru or the DOT because everything on this car is stock and issued as is from the factory". He then tried to tell me my radar detector mounted on my dash (very securely) was illegal. At that point I just shut up because I was so mad I knew I would say something stupid. After he gave me the ticket, I again tried to reason with him about the tint, and the ability to easily see through it (really..it is barely there...can't even tell at night). He wasn't having it. I then asked him when was the last time his meters had been calibrated and the jackoff actually said "you saw me calibrate it right before I used it". In other words, he merely reset it for ambient conditions, and has no clue what calibration means.
Soo...that was my rant. Here is my question. The PA tint law reads like this
"§ 175.262. Applicability.
This subchapter applies to vehicles which are subject to a periodic safety inspection, except those inspected in accordance with § 175.130 (relating to inspection procedure).
§ 175.263. Sun screening location.
(a) Windshields, side windows and side wings. A person may not operate, on a highway, a motor vehicle with a front windshield, side window or side wing that has been equipped with a sun screening device or other material which does not permit a person to see or view the inside of the vehicle. This subchapter does not prohibit the use of products or materials along the top edge of the windshield if the products or materials are transparent and do not encroach upon the AS-1 portion of the windshield as provided by FMVSS No. 205 and if the devices or materials are not more than 3 inches from the top of the windshield. "
Then for the rear window (for which I have no tint at all) it says:
(b) Rear window. The rear window on a motor vehicle may be treated by the vehicle owner with a sun screening device or other material. If the rear window is treated with a sun screening device or other material, the vehicle shall comply with § 175.264 (relating to mirrors). See Table X for specific requirements for vehicles subject to this subchapter.
So there is this mysterious Table X. I found it, and that is where you find that you are allowed 70% sides and rear. What is really odd, is that 1) the way the law is written, Table X only applys if your rear window is tinted and 2) FMVSS No. 205 is essentially a safety standard for vehicle manufacturers, and nowhere does it state anything below 70% is illegal or hard to see through. So this is obviously an interpretation by our dear PA DOT.
And what is really screwed up is I drove to our local cop shop to ask if I could get a copy of the law they reference on the ticket, and in the lot sits a honda civic with totally blacked out window...right next to 5 cop cars...grrrrrrrrrrr!!
Now the real question. Has anyone in PA successfully fought this assinine law? If not, any suggestions would be welcome. I plan on fighting this, without a lawyer, just to see what happens.

The cops in your area (PA) must have nothing else to do. I am sorry to hear about that. I have mine super dark in the back only one shade lighter in the front. I was pulled over for speeding and the cop said nothing about the tint. I guess it depends who pulls you over. Again, sorry to hear that

we all know PA sucks for window tint. all local and state police (and inspection stations) have different opinions about it where some are more leniant than others. JUST DONT THINK ABOUT A STRIP ON THE WINDSHIELD LARGER THAN 3.5 INCHES. ive been to court twice for it and i have won both times, if anyone needs advice
Just back from tinting, here in Wisconsin law is as follows:
Front - visor strip only
Front Sides - 50%
Rear Sides - 30%
Rear - 30%
I went with 30% on all, cant clean the windows for 5 days.
" I feel so dirty" but it looks good.
My father is a police officer, and i have to worry about somebody who doesnt want to go to jail cause they are about to get their license taken away ect! Im not saying Tint is a bad thing...I am going to tint my windows, but please keep it to a sane level...its for your safety and they officers too!!
I want Boost!Want to play with my Wankel?Originally Posted by adam3482p
I don't think most folks think tint laws are ghey....its:
1. The inconsistent laws for tint, depending on where you live
2. The inconsistent and vague manner in which the laws are applied.
3. The inconsistent, and somtimes BS way in which they are enforced.
Anyone who has had tint on their window knows that if it is too dark, it's just plain unsafe. You cant see at night if your tint is too dark, and that's just plain stupid. The only legitimate reason for "limo" tint....guess what..there is no legitimate reason. If you apply the rule of "officer safety" to window tinting, then any tint that prevents you from seeing into any portion of any vehicle should be illegal. That is how the law should be written, applied, and enforced.
As it stands, tint laws are used as source of revenue and harrassement, not as a means of officer safety. If you don't believe me, just drive around in any either very rich section of a city, or a very poor section of a city. You'll see examples of too dark tint in both areas. Typically, the folks that get harrassed for tint are those with modified vehicles, not the rich or the poor. The rich because they just don't care and will pay the fine (or due to favoritism by the enforcement authorities...goes both ways), and the economically challended don't have the law enforced because the authorities know it's a form of russion roulette to pull over a "banger" vehicle in the wrong section of town just for a tint violation. Think beyond the core....thats what a brain is for.
there...rant over....

i'm getting 15% done right now on all 5 windows with sunroof 5% and i live in Jersey....
.....gotta be careful
FP Green STi
35% up front and 5% in the back. 35% is still very visible.... Here in Ca, if a cop wanted to which most do, if they are able to scratch any kind of tint on your front windows, you get a ticket... it all depends on how much of a **** the cop feels like being
Last i cheaked it was 35% all the way around.

Just got pulled over the other day and the cop used his tint meter on my windows. They came up as 27% and he said the darkest legal limit in New York is 70%. Didn't get ticketed though... just flashed him the "magic card" and he let me off.
Another type of "magic card"..... military ID. Depends on where you are and who pulls you over....but I've been let out of a couple of tickets my opening my wallet and having my military ID adjacent to my drivers license...
I got a $190 ticket in NC for my 5% window tint... that sh@t sucked!!! But here in washington its not as bad, atleast it doesnt seem that way!!

I dont know if this has been posted yet
No tint laws!!!!
They were repealed last year. Right now you can get as dark as you want on any of the back windows. I dont know how dark you can get the front windshield (a friend is getting his done 50% but the shop will only do it afterhours for legal reasons). The legislators are working on getting the law back into place but if your car already has the tint on it you'll be grandfathered in.

The pancreas – which lies behind the stomach – contains two different types of glands, exocrine and endocrine. Pancreatic cancer can arise in either gland. However, the symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis is different for each type of pancreatic cancer.
The exocrine glands release enzymes into the intestines that help digest fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Exocrine tumors are by far the most common type of pancreatic cancer. Less common types of cancer in this area of the pancreas are adenosquamous carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas, giant cell carcinomas, and ampullary cancers.
The endocrine glands contain the blood sugar-regulating hormones insulin and glucagon. Endocrine tumors (also called pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors or NETs) are uncommon. Treatment and prognosis depend on the specific tumor type and stage. Generally, the prognosis for endocrine cancers is better than that of exocrine cancers.
Unfortunately, the incidence of pancreatic cancer has been slowly increasing over the past 15 years.
Cigarette smoking is thought to cause up to 20 to 30 percent of pancreatic cancers. Obesity is a risk factor, as is heavy exposure to certain pesticides, dyes, and chemicals used in metal refining. People with a long-term inflammation of the pancreas (chronic pancreatitis) are at higher risk. In addition, people who have cirrhosis of the liver and certain inherited disorders or genetic syndromes, are also at risk. Alcohol may have an indirect link as it raises the risk for diabetes, cirrhosis, and chronic pancreatitis.
Pancreatic cancer rarely occurs in people younger than 45; the average age at the time of diagnosis is 72. Men are slightly more likely to develop pancreatic cancer than women.
Very few pancreatic cancers are found early because of the location of the pancreas, deep inside the body. Patients usually do not have symptoms until the cancer has metastasized to other organs. There are currently no blood tests to detect pancreatic cancer, but doctors are experimenting with a procedure called an endoscopic ultrasound that might be useful in screening high risk individuals.
The symptoms of exocrine pancreatic cancers and endocrine pancreatic cancers are different. Exocrine pancreatic cancer symptoms include: jaundice, darkened urine and/or lighter stools, pain in the abdomen or back, unexplained weight loss and poor appetite, digestive problems, gallbladder enlargement and blood clots. These symptoms are most often signs of something other than cancer, but should be checked out by a doctor.
Most symptoms of NETs (endocrine cancers) are caused by the excess hormones released into the bloodstream by the tumor; each type of tumor has unique symptoms depending on which hormone is involved. Symptoms can range from stomach ulcers, diarrhea and digestive problems to anemia, jaundice, skin rash, low blood sugar and many other problems. Even NETs that don't release hormones can spread, interfering with the normal function of the area where they settle.
Exocrine pancreatic cancer is treated with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Depending on the stage of the cancer, some of these treatments may be combined. Endocrine pancreatic cancer can be treated with surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and with specific drugs to address particular hormones. Pancreatic cancer surgery is a very complex and difficult operation with varying degrees of success.

Dog Has Runny POOP!
OUr 1 and a half year old large breed mutt has been getting diarrhea in and outside the house. She is on holistic Summit chicken and rice with berries, and I'm just wondering if anyone has suggestions? I'm in a small town with a crappy vet so I would rather have some advice from dog owners.

How long has she had the runs? Has she always eaten this food, or have you recently changed? If she recently got diarrhea, it is possible that she ate something she shouldn't have, and it is also possible that she acquired a bacteria infection of some sort. She could be having a reaction to the dog food, but if you haven't recently changed that, then I would rule that out. To be honest, the only way you are going to get a direct answer, since none of us can actually see your dog, is to take her to a vet. You might have to travel a little ways - my vet is not down the street from my house either, but he is incredible. Do some research on vets - it's very important to have a good vet that you can trust, whether he/she is near you or not. Best of luck.

Three men have been arrested in connection with the killing of a 34-year-old man in Borough High Street on November 29, Scotland Yard announced.
Father-of-one Christopher Foster was fatally stabbed in a suspected case of mistaken identity outside a pub.
Mr Foster, 34, was killed in Borough High Street as he smoked with a friend in an alleyway outside St Christopher's Inn.
Scotland Yard said three men aged 25, 29 and 33 were arrested today and remain in custody at a south London police station.
Mr Foster was attacked by a hooded gang who were brandishing baseball bats and at least one knife on Friday November 29.
Police were called to Borough High Street at around 11.45pm and Mr Foster was taken to the Royal London Hospital where he died at 1.05am the following morning.
A post-mortem examination at Greenwich Public Mortuary gave the cause of death as a single stab wound to the back.
Mr Foster, from Southwark, worked in administration for a firm of lawyers and was father to a four-year-old girl.
Mr Foster's mother, Jean Foster, said her son was "a well loved man" and the family hoped the police would "get justice for Chris".
Two people have already been arrested and bailed. A 30-year-old man, arrested on suspicion of murder, has been bailed until late January pending further inquiries. A 32-year-old woman, arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, has been bailed until early February pending further inquiries.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by DaviaG-Rap, Aug 19, 2007.
There you go making me vomit in my mouth again.
By drop, I meant rhyme. You're a filthy man JT!
This is the dirtiest forum ever..... You probably could be Ben on there twice...but 3 times is just being greedy.
The guys in blue are players the Pistons could get without trading a core player or a good bench player. A Nazr, Flip, Dupree combination could work with those guys except for Camby. The Pistons would have to do a little more to get him.
This is where many posters are in their own little fantasy world. You cannot just pick a legitimate NBA player off another roster and think that Joe Dumars can call up that team's GM and say we'll give you Nazr, Dupree, Hunter and Murray for the guy. Why would any team in the NBA want another team's scrubs for a contributing player?
come on.... who wouldn't want to trade a starter for a backup center a back up guard and a great vetern to sit on the bench in a suit? that actually sounds great with the rookie salary being so low... we should be able to call up portland and get there young stud Oden
What perfect world are you living in? Think before you post because it can be done. If someone could help me out here because I remember the Pistons getting a certain All Star big man without trading Chauncey, Rip, Tayshaun, Ben Wallace, Mehmet Okur, and our 2nd round draft pick Darko Milicic. Who wanted the Pistons scrubs then? I am not living in a fantasy world, and I am also not living in a world were a good trade cannot happen. If a GM has the mentality you have then their would be little improvement as far as trades go. Sometimes you have to propose a crazy deal because it just might work. If you keep trading equals that won't get you anywhere. As of right now a trade involving those guys for a good center probably would not work, but like I said it does not have to happen right now. A good week or two for those guys and their stocks rise. Maybe one of the players the Pistons want to trade for has certain issues with the team he's already on. If things like that happen a "fantasy deal" can be done.
This discussion reminds me of the transformers where you see these robots in the street and my friend sees this guy bail on a motorcycle and slide under a robot and says "that's unrealistic" On another note, i thought himat highlighted some feasible options.
Sacto just signed Moore, I doubt they'd be interesting in a trade like this. Philly is not going to let Dalembert go. Shareef was never known for his D. Camby is out of our current trade possibilities. That leaves Wright as the only choice.
So, the key is not trading away centers when you have them, because they are unusually difficult to get. Now, I don't want to keep beating a dead horse, but wouldn't Dale Davis be good to have for 1 more season while we keep looking to deal Naz? Waive Dupree and just sign Dale for the min.
Does DD want to come back here?
I would think not, he came here to play and spent two seasons rotting away on the bench... another player flip never utilitzed....
Isn't it interersting that when Flip came we have players leave? And not necessarily for greener pastures.
Good article from Draftexpress.com on unsigned players. We should be able to find Nazr's replacement in here: DraftExpress: Is the NBA Full? .
There are a few that may warrant a look. Anyone for Mutombo? They also have this to say about Mejia: I wonder what's going to happen with him.
I don't know the answer to that. But since it is probably going to be his last season, there is something to be said for not transitioning to another system and another set of players. He's going to want to go to a team that will have a title shot, so that limits his options. Then, the question becomes, do they want him? If I were Flip, I would promise Dale as many starts as he wants for 07-08. Then, Sheed, Dyess, and Nazr can fill in for C the other 28 minutes per game.
Don't you think it'be a bit scary being Flip?
I really want to start a thread titled, "Start complaining about the Center Position" You know, for karmic balance.
You're going to need another server just to fit all the postings on that one.

Americans drink Red Bull, Rockstar, 5 Hour Energy…Germans drink Club Mate.
South Americans used the mate (holly) leaves for years before it was discovered. The leaves possess many medicinal properties. Native Americans introduced the Spanish conquistadors to the leaves, and soon after the Jesuits grew them in gardens. The beverage numerous Germans drink today began as Sket-Bronte. But after George Latteier got the license for the non-alcoholic, caffeinated tea drink, it all blew up. Once introduced, the popularity became overwhelming…the bottling process was difficult due to such high carbonation and restricted distribution. Extensive research and testing solved the issue and the beverage was well on its way to its current international acclaim.
Latteier's company sold the bubbly drink to restaurants in and around their location in Dietenhofen (Bavaria). Many people came by the company facility to pick up drinks by the case. During World War II, production ceased to the dismay of many people left itching for more. It wasn't long before it started back up.
1957 saw Hans Sauernheimer marry into the family and he brought an automatic bottling and capping machines. They expanded and expanded again. Before long, loyal customers were driving hours upon hours from Northern Germany, cities like Hamburg, just to ensure they had their fix. Bront became a national sensation.
In 1994, the license was sold to Loscher Brewery, and they re-branded it "Club Mate."
Germans love it. In and around Berlin, I don't think I went one day without seeing someone drinking Club Mate. Numerous job postings for start-ups in Berlin state "we provide lunch for employees as well as CLUB MATE."
There's a few different varieties, including a few with alcohol. There's limited availability in the USA, so it's not easy if you can't forego days without your Club Mate.
I don't get it. I'm not sure I ever will. But I've never been an energy drink guzzler. I spent nearly a year around Berlin and I tried it multiple times, but I will never understand the obsession with Club Mate. Perhaps it's an acquired taste, or something you need to grow up drinking. I'll pass on the Club Mate.
Ein Bier bitte.
