As Uncle Junior Kennedy once said…"Go shiit in your helmet!"
We don't have a $25 cheese-stuffed corn dog but the Yankees are selling something equally expensive, caloric and incredible. Behold the Nacho Helmet, a behemoth portion of chips and florescent "cheese" served inside a plastic bowl shaped like a batter's helmet. This concoction—which can also be enjoyed with seasoned ground beef, jalapenos, salsa and guacamole—costs $20. God bless America.
As someone with very little regard for the sanctity of her digestive system, I ventured to the Bronx last Friday evening to take in a game, imbibe far too many beers and sacrifice my stomach for the good of the city with a Nacho Helmet of my own. This wasn't the first time I'd indulged in some stadium nachos; it's my go-to meal in both sporting arenas and movie theaters. But this was the first time I'd been presented with so many nacho chips and globs of plastic cheese product.
...Would I order the helmet again? Probably not, unless I hadn't eaten for several days and had no further food ingestion plans for the foreseeable future. Even my seemingly endless capacity to eat cheese was no match for the gargantuan portion; and at $20 for one item, it's steep even for ball park prices. Once you dump the excess and give it a rinse, you do get a souvenir helmet out of the deal, which would make for easy re-gifting to some kid you don't care much about. And if you do manage to finish the whole thing, well then I tip my hat to you.

This looks delicious, although I assume the chips near the bottom would be a soggy mess. That's my only real issue with nachos - if you get them with the cheese on the side, so you can control your cheese distribution and avoid the oversaturated, limp chip problem, then they're terrific.
If Spam nachos aren't a thing, they should be.
This season, you'll find everything from fried chicken and waffles to a 3-pound hot dog at baseball stadiums across the country, where concession stands are one-upping each other with massive fried, stuffed and smothered grub.
In honor of Opening Day on Monday, check out six of the wildest stadium snacks available now. There's no crying in baseball, but there may be cramps.
Does the helmet only come in one size? (I'm asking for a friend.)

What is the profit margin on something like that? It's very cheap, easy to prepare food, that is easy to serve up fast in an inexpensive mass produced stamped piece of plastic. For $20?
What's the cost of the cheap, crap batting helmet these days? Is it cheaper to buy the helmet and the nachos without helmet or are you reducing the marginal cost of the nachos (or helmet)? Or does this helmet not even meet cheap, crap batting helmet standard these days? How much for nachos in a game-used batting helmet?
Depends on how many fingers are in, um, the hat. I've never seen one of these creations so I don't know what all is in the hat or how large it is but I wouldn't be shocked if the actual food part of this cost between 1 to 2 dollars. The hat itself is probably several times more expensive than the actual food that is in it. After those things I don't really know the other costs. Labor, taxes, lease agreements, utilities, licensing, so on and so on.In a previous life, I ran a college concession operation. Yeah, the food is the cheapest part of the whole thing.
And I'm going to guess they weren't $5 either.
Really surprised it took this long to spread. As a kid at the Vet, the batting helmet soft ice cream was a staple for every game.
Even famed ones like Dodger Dogs. Is there any park that makes a real (grilled, within at least the last 5 minutes) hot dog anymore?
Dairy Queen has been doing the soft serve in batting helmets since at least the very 80's. Don't know if they did it before then as I wasn't kid before that.
Ted's in Buffalo makes fantastic hot dogs. They use a really good hot dog and grill it over charcoal. I would happily pay a premium to get one of those at a MLB stadium.
Dairy Queen has been doing the soft serve in batting helmets since at least the very 80's.
If it wasn't funny, then it wasn't a joke. And vice versa.
Before I go again, how is the Stone thing at Petco?* It always upset when I made my way down there that Stone wasn't represented all that well at the park. What about Hodad's at Petco? I know the one in OB is freaking awesome beyond belief.
* Totally realize that you gotta serve the BMC (Bud, Miller, Coors) stuff but it seemed like Petco was woefully short on the craft offerings last time I was down there. No Karl Strauss (Red Trolley Ale is still a favorite) and even finding a Stone IPA was tough.
so far this year, at every Padres game I've been to (like half a dozen) -if you order food at a regular concession stand, you know - a hot dog, a burger, whatever - the time to get your food - not starting from having to wait in a long line, but the time between actually ordering the food and actually receiving the food - has often been almost half an hour.
I will agree that at certain stadiums, Nachos are the best value. Years ago, an old pal and I would make a trip to the Oakland Coliseum to see the Broncos-Raiders game (we're from southern ca) and the nachos were the best value on the menu.At A's games anyway, the Coliseum extra cheese situation has been a saga in recent years. They're served on a square tray with two insets at opposite corners for the cheese + salsa. Up until 2011 you could request extra cheese instead of salsa. At some point along the way they started charging for it. Then in 2012, no extra cheese. Not even if you offer to pay... because they took away the button from the register. In 2013 they offered extra cheese, but instead of more cheese from the big steaming vat of cheese, it's a little packaged plastic cup of cheese, cold and kinda funky (y'know, relative to the taste of your standard nacho cheeze). Haven't gotten to a game yet this year but we'll see.
This remains incredible. I know consumers/sports fans put up with a lot of crap, but is there no one complaining about this? No talk at all about it in the area?

I'm sure by now you've heard the one about Michele Bachmann and John Wayne Gacy. How she promised to mimic the spirit of Waterloo, Iowa's own John Wayne. Except that John Wayne was actually John Wayne Gacy, the clown-dressing serial killer. Different strokes, I guess.
No, truth be told, Bachmann may hate gays, think the American Revolution started in New Hampshire, and believe God personally chose her to be one of the 2012 Republican presidential candidates, but she obviously didn't mean to compare herself to a mass murderer.
She meant to compare herself to a draft-dodging sexist racist.
Bachmann copped to the mix-up and said, "The point is John Wayne represents patriotism -- and great American values," and that she is "proud to have grown up in John Wayne's America." Either Bachmann knows nothing about John Wayne -- or she's even scarier than we all thought.
Here's the truth about John Wayne, the actor:
He dodged the draft. When Pearl Harbor happened, John Wayne was basking in the success of Stagecoach. But he wasn't rich yet. By Hollywood standards, he was still considered a "struggling actor." He knew that if he enlisted in the military, his career would lose its momentum, and by the time he got back, he'd be considered "too old." So he obtained 3-A status, "deferred for [family] dependency reasons," and pretended he was in the war in his movies.
He was a (rampant) racist. In his infamous Playboy interview, the actor said -- among other things -- that he "believes in white supremacy until blacks are educated to a point of responsibility." Words of a fine American.
He was pro-illegal alien. Piggy-backing off his racism, in the same interview, John Wayne also felt that the Native Americans were "selfishly trying to keep American land for themselves." Wonder what his stance would be on illegal aliens today.
He was mean and irresponsible. Apparently, Hollywood directors knew to shoot Wayne's movie scenes before noon, because after that, he was a "mean drunk."
He was sexist. A famous John Wayne quote: "Women have the right to work wherever they want, as long as they have the dinner ready when you get home." So, if you (God forbid) win the presidency, Michele, I hope you have a list of 30-minute dinners -- it'll be hard to do both!
What do you think of Michele Bachmann wanting to be like John Wayne?
Image via YouTube
My grand father once worked at a hotel in Atlanta where John Wayne was staying. He had to deliver a letter to his door. My grandfather said he was drunk and an a-hole. Soon after that my grandpa was in the Korean war. I wouldn't compare anything to JW. Just goes to show you how Hollywood can snooker everyone.

TREASURE COAST -- OneBlood collections in Martin County remain halted as a precaution against Dengue Fever.
OneBlood resumed blood collections in St. Lucie County effective Sept. 23.
As a proactive and precautionary measure, OneBlood temporarily suspended blood collections in Martin and St. Lucie counties after multiple cases of Dengue Fever surfaced.
"Based on the findings from the Florida Department of Health, the recent cases of Dengue Fever appear to be confined to the Rio and Jensen Beach areas of Martin County", said Rita Reik, chief medical officer for OneBlood.
"Safety of the blood supply is our top priority. With the threat of Dengue Fever minimized in St. Lucie County the blood center has determined it is safe to resume blood collections in St. Lucie County. Blood collections in Martin County will remain temporarily suspended until further notice," Dr. Reik said.
OneBlood will remain in close contact with the Florida Department of Health and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and will be alerted should additional cases of Dengue Fever be reported.
The public should take comfort in knowing the local blood supply is safe and meets the highest possible standards mandated by the FDA.
The blood center urges people living in areas not impacted by Dengue Fever to please donate and help ensure safe and available blood for local hospitals and their patients.
For more information about donating blood and to find a donor center, visit www.oneblood.org.

SW Acreage May Increase
In the past few years, cotton acreage has taken a dip across the Belt as farmers reacted to attractive grain prices, and, in some areas, water issues. Despite this trend, many people in the industry have alluded to 2014 as the year that cotton acreage is expected to increase.
In December, Cotton Farming asked its readers where they expected to see an increase in cotton acres this year. The Southwest came out on top with 56 percent of the votes, followed by the Mid-South with 25 percent. One of the respondents commented on the cotton acreage increase possibilities in both of these regions:
"I believe we will see cotton acreage increase in the Southwest due to available moisture and in the Delta due to low corn prices. Also, if cotton would reach $1.00 so that the farmer could net $.90, we will see even more cotton in the Delta. As of now, the low corn prices are going to boost cotton in this area by 10 to maybe 15 percent."
David Kerns, who served for a time as interim cotton specialist for Louisiana, said that Louisiana cotton producers sorely needed a year like 2013. When the November NASS report came in, Kerns noted that the preliminary numbers indicated Louisiana yields were averaging a record shattering 1,306 pounds per acre.
"Needless to say, we have a lot of very happy cotton farmers in Louisiana this year," Kerns says. "The previous record was 1,017 pounds per acre set in 2007.
"Depending on grain and cotton prices, I expect to see as much as a 25 percent increase in cotton acreage in 2014," he adds.
This month, we are asking our readers how confident they are in their weed control toolbox with which they have to work to put together an efficacious program for 2014.
Once the results of the January Web Poll are tallied, they will be posted on the Cotton Farming website at www.cottonfarming.com.
Web Poll Results
Where do you think we will see the biggest increase in cotton acres in 2014?
• Southeast: 13%
• Mid-South: 25%
• Southwest: 56%
• West: 6%
January Web Poll Question
Going into 2014, do you feel confident that you have the tools you need to put together an efficacious weed control program this spring?
(1) Yes
(2) No
(3) It depends.

Environment Centre Launches Business Breakfast Club
Story supplied by LU Press Office
The Lancaster Environment Centre at Lancaster University is launching a free breakfast club for local businesses.
From Thursday, 21st October 2010, the club will meet every 6 weeks and will include guest speakers, networking opportunities and one-to-one support from business advisers.
LEC Business Breakfast Club is open to environmental companies, businesses seeking innovative environmental solutions, researchers and owner managers in the North West working in the environmental sector.
Each session will have a different theme, a guest speaker and a presentation from a successful business owner. Members will also have the support of advisors from BusinessLink, Envirolink, Lancaster City Council and the Lancashire County Council.
Sessions run from 8am to 10.30am. There will be a free breakfast on arrival and LEC facilities will remain open after 10.30am for continued networking.
The club will help businesses generate new contacts and set up collaborations with Lancaster Environment Centre academics. Members whose activities are complimentary to LEC's work will also have access to the Environment Centre's business facilities. These include a board room for 12 with video conferencing facilities and the use of the training suites for events of up to 100 people with the support of LEC staff.
LEC Business Partnerships Officer Becky Gordon said: "The Environment Centre is home to one of Europe's largest Environmental Science research groups and we have a dedicated team working on a wide range of projects in partnership with business and industry.
"Through the business breakfast club we want to create an organic group of businesses who are interested in sharing ideas and best practice."
The first session, 'the value of networks', will include presentations from Jackie Seddon of Envirolink NorthWest, Dr Ruth Alcock from the university's Catchment Change Network and Mike Matthews from Peak Associates Environmental Consultants Ltd who will discuss how being part of both networks has benefitted his company.

Laptop Management in the Classroom1
Will Technology Change Education?1
Thinking about how education might change due to new technology seems like such a huge topic. In many ways, technology has greatly changed the way I teach in the last year. But I do think I have been very lucky to be working in a school that has technology integration through all grade levels as a major area for growth, as well as the budgetary support that is needed to go along with that.
My school considered purchasing class sets of iPads for our K-2 students. Already we have sets for Pre-school and Kindergarten. In the end, we upped the total number to 14, so that other classes could have a chance to use them as well. The applications I have seen used so far for this age group (I have only looked at the ones related to Language Arts) have been for teaching letter/sound associations, tracing letters, matching and interactive reading. Which brings us back to the question that this program has us looking at—is the technology allowing the students to do an old task in a new way or is it allowing them to do something new? To me, it seems, that it is the same literacy related activities that students would have done before, but now they are doing it on the iPad. Which isn't to say that it isn't amazing or engaging for the students, I just don't know that it is moving them in to the realm of something new.
We are an extremely small school. I wondered what the cost would be for larger schools. Earlier this month PCMAG.com posted an article discussing an infographic that focuses specifically on the cost of using iPads as opposed to traditional textbooks in response to the release of iBooks 2. It makes a lot of assumptions, such as students purchasing iBooks for classes, but it is an interesting way to begin getting your mind around the costs involved.
Connectivism, as described by George Siemens is learning that occurs as part of a social network with many diverse connections and ties made possible by the various tools of technology. I found this article a bit difficult to digest, so I followed some links and found this neat little video that really helped me make sense of what this means for students. And now I am sharing it here with you, in the spirit of Connectivism.
I think technology will change education in the next five, ten, fifteen years. It will be much faster for some, those schools that have the funds to purchase the technology and the students that have access to these schools. For others, I think it will be a slower process. I really have no idea how it will work out for the majority of schools that face budget constraints. Sure many students will find ways to connect themselves to their personal areas of interest and learn through the model proposed by Connectivism. I am just not sure schools for the general public will ever catch up.
So what about me? Where will I be teaching in the years to come? I hope in a school that has required laptops for students. I don't think I can go back to teaching without them. I can't imagine having to plan my lessons around a shared cart that may or may not be available when I need it. I love my Smart Board and document camera. I have become very dependent!

Family falls apart as father's slaying in Salt Lake City goes unpunished » Seventeen years after their father was killed in cold blood, time has healed nothing. The Durazo children learned the last man awaiting trial for his death would not stand before judge or jury.
Inside the Missionary Training Center: Boot camp for Mormons » The MTC, where young Latter-day Saint missionaries are molded and mentored, where they are built up and, sometimes, dressed down. It's the place they start to learn the languages (55 in all) they will need to preach the Mormon message and the place they begin to bolster the faith they will rely on to sustain the rigors of missionary life. The MTC is Mormonism's boot camp.
Element 11: Set to burn freely at Utah's regional Burning Man » Parker's not wearing pants, but if you've noticed that you've already missed the point. Retired and an avid burner, he's walking through the center camp at the 15th annual Element 11 — Utah's regional Burning Man. With the summer sun high and the buildings nearby ready to incinerate, the most important observation isn't whether anyone is wearing clothes or not.

Review Details
Stylus Pen Kuel H12
Average Customer Rating:
Product Rating:
Product Review (submitted on April 24, 2013):
The stylus looks great. The weight and size are comprable to a good quality pen. The nib is very conductive and much more sensitive that others (that may or may not be a plus in your eyes). My only complaint is that the build quality is lacking. The nib retracts by twisting the pen, much like a Cross or other high quality pen. However, the stylus started to literally fall apart, right along the twist portion. At first, the pen would split and I could put it back together, but the hold was tenous at best. In the end, I had to use CrazyGlue to keep it together. Seems a bit shoddy for what should be a simple mechanism.

Sneak Preview: Orla Kiely Bedding for Bed, Bath & Beyond
Last week, I was at a dinner and between the primi and secondi I heard about a new line coming this spring to Bed, Bath & Beyond. It's the latest project from one of the Apartment Therapy readers' favorite designers, Orla Kiely.
I mentioned that we'd all really LOVE a sneak peek and today, this hit my inbox. Get ready to get excited for a whole new level of access to the UK-based designer's home goods for those of us in the US...
We heard the bedding will be available in most Bed, Bath & Beyond stores starting in May. No details yet on pricing or fabric compositions, but based on the retail partner, the design Magic 8 ball says "all signs point to yes" for affordability. I can't wait to see them in person!

Beyond excited !!!!
Super gorge! I hate Bed Bath and Beyond, but for this, I will make an exception! Perhaps with a blue 20% off coupon that never expires...
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH < --- level of excitement, very high.
I will only be excited about this if it doesn't turn into another Target/Missoni fiasco. I love Orla Kiely, but I won't be standing in line/clawing eyes out for this.
But if it's around after a few days, I'll definitely hit up BB&B!
OMG!! YEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!! Please!! I keep drooling over this wallpaper by her. Third photo down.
@ Three Acres - I'm with you. I love her stuff, but not enough to get hurt in some crazy line.
@ The Nesting Game - Totally looking for a 20% coupon! Awesome idea.
I am bored of her stuff!
I won't get too excited until I hear about the quality. Based on my experiences with the clothing line, it can go either way.
@ThreeAcres - totally agree! I almost get a little sad with all these collections coming out because I know I won't have time to sit in line for them.
Oh wow! I have an Orla purse. So excited!
crazy excited for this!!! i have missed orla since moving back from the UK!
Amazing! The other day I was regretting not buying any of her stuff for Target....hopefully I can afford the bedding! :)
Anyone know where (as in which country) it's made?
Oh mah GLOB!! Super excited! I just hope it's not extravagantly priced. Dotmaison is having a 40% off sale of Orla Kiely duvets and comes out to be a really good deal, so if I wait for the BB&B and the prices are outrageous, I'll be less than happy. There's no way I'm waiting in any lines either! lol I wonder if it will all be available to order online also. That would be nice. :)
BB&B has really kicked up their selection of high quality designer bedding, what with this, Trina Turk, and DVF Studio lines now on offer.
I'm too distracted by the bed. Anyone know where it's from or where I can find something similar?
I love Orla's prints.
Psst....although she's based in the UK, she's not a British designer, she's Irish.
I will always love that print, but the complete collection is what truly excites me. The backside of the duvet/comforter, sheets + shams. Best of all, look at the white quilt, it's embroidered with the signature design. I too hope this is well constructed, because I really want it.
I love this bedding. It is modern and colorful. Counting down the days till May.
Uniglo is selling a line of spring/summer clothes by her.
Liking this very much! Lovely pics and colours. It may me thinking of the illustrations of Sol Linero. Here:
I just called two Bed Bath and Beyond stores and no one has even heard of Orla Kiely. :/ I talked to the manager also and they had never heard of the bedding coming in. Not cool!!
^Really? Hm. I am anxiously waiting for this collection to come out..I favorited this post and keep checking back! lol
ROXY72, I just called BB&B again and still no one has ever heard of Orla's new bedding line. You'd think by now, they'd at least have a meeting about it or something! I'm super bummed. I called 3 different stores and still nothing. Maybe I'll call back in a few days...
hmm, is this definitely happening? it's may 2 and there's no mention of this on bed bath & beyond's website, can't find any sign of it anywhere. wah.
I just checked their FB page and found a post that said it's arriving in June at select stores. I've been waiting... Better be at mine!
I finally saw the line! Well... the three pieces they are carrying at my store anyway. I live in a small town so perhaps in larger areas the entire line will be available for in-store purchase, but my store only had the comforter sets and two throw pillows available. I was pretty disappointed. Not only was the price point higher than I was anticipating (comforter sets - twin $149/queen $179, throw pillows - $39 each, coverlets - twin $99/queen $129/euro sham $39, and sheets - twin $79/full $89/queen $99), but the quality felt okay at best. Not to mention the two things I was most looking forward to checking out (the coverlet + the sheets) had to be ordered through an associate at the store. Total bummer.
I just saw it online, and dang- it's expensive! I should've started saving my money when I first saw this post. I hope that the products are available to touch and feel my in local store, since Kristina (above) didn't like the quality. :/
So disappointing to hear. I wonder if you can use the 20% off coupons?
I finally went to my local store, and it had the same amount of stuff as "Kristina Darling." It was a small set-up! Just 2 pillows, and comforter sets in the twin size, and the double/queen size. That's it. I could barely feel the comforter because they put security sensors at the opening of the bag. Also, the other items were available thru ordering with an associate. Too bad.
I read all of these comments about the comforter set and thought, "It can't be THAT bad. It's my very favorite print. I have to have it." I even have the handbag in this print - I'm seriously in love with it. So I figured I could forgive a not-so-wonderful-quality comforter just to have this print on my bed. WRONG! It's awful. It's actually sad. I bought the full/queen comforter set (the last one at the store, and they didn't have any of the sheets/coverlets), I put it on my bed, and within 30 seconds I noticed a snag/hole in the comforter. I looked at my cat (who was itching to get onto the bed) and realized this just wouldn't work. If you have pets who are allowed on the bed - forget it. The fabric is SO cheap and thin that their little nails will tear holes in the fabric. And the polyester filling is just bizarre - it feels so cheap and weird. I'm so sad to return it but for $144 (I used the 20% off coupon) I just couldn't stomach keeping it knowing that it'd be shredded in a matter of weeks. As my husband helped me refold the comforter into the bag it came in so I could return it, he summed it up perfectly:
"This feels like a cheap sleeping bag."
It does. It's a shame - I have tons of Orla Kiely for Target items all over the house, they're great quality and have held up with daily use, and her signature line is gorgeous - this line is just awful. As far as the other items, they only had the breakfast pillow (really cheap looking/feeling) and the other printed comforter set - no sheets or coverlets.
I'm so disappointed! I realize the line was being marketed to college kids (it was in the "dorm" section at our store and I received an email about it in reference to "back to school" items), but I don't think that's an excuse for such poor quality.

Johns Hopkins Sports Medicine Patient Guide to"AC" Acromioclavicular Joint Problems
Our Sports Medicine andShoulder Surgeons
What is the "AC" joint?
The "AC" joint is a joint in the shoulder where two bones meet. One of these bones is the collarbone (or clavicle). The second bone is actually part of the shoulder blade (scapula), which is the big bone behind the shoulder that also forms part of the shoulder joint. The portion of the shoulder blade which meets the clavicle is called the Acromion. As a result, where the "Clavicle" meets the "Acromion" is called the "AC" joint (Figure 1). Like most joints in the body where bones meet, there is cartilage between the two bones, which is the white tissue between bones that allows them to move on each other, like teflon on two ball bearings.

What kinds of problems occur at the AC joint?
There are many things that can happen to the AC joint, but the most common conditions are arthritis, fractures and "separations". Arthritis is a condition characterized by loss of cartilage in the joint, which is essentially wear and tear of the smooth cartilage which allows the bones to move smoothly. Like arthritis at other joints in the body it is characterized by pain and swelling, especially with activity. Over time the joint can wear out even more so that the joint gets larger and spurs form around the joint (Figure II). These spurs are a sign of the arthritis and not a cause of the pain. Motions which aggrevate arthritis at the AC joint include reaching across the body toward the other arm. AC joint wear and tear is common in weight lifters, especially with the bench press and to a lesser extent military press. In weight lifters the arthritis at the AC joint has a special name and is called "osteolysis."
How Do You Treat Arthritis of the AC Joint?
When the cartilage is gone from the joint there is currently no way to replace it. As a result, one way to treat the arthritis is to modify your activities so as to not aggrevate the condition. This does not mean giving up activities entirely but it may mean doing certain ones less often or with less intensity. For example, weight lifters may do bench press only three-quarters of the way down instead of a full bench press, or to exercise their pectoralis muscle (muscle may stronger by bench press) they may instead do a lift called a butterfly which does not seem to irritate the joint as much as bench press.
Other ways to treat arthritis of the AC joint include the use of ice and medication. Application of ice to the joint decreases the pain and the inflammation at the joint. It is recommended that the more the joint hurts the more ice be used. Ice should be particularly applied after athletic activities, or if the joint is very sore, ice should be applied daily or as often as every two hours. Ice should be applied for twenty to thirty minutes directly to the joint either using an ice bag or by massaging the joint with ice cubes. Since the joint is relatively small ice massage can be very effective, and paper cups filled with water and placed in the freezer make great ice cones for massaging the joint.
Medication which typically can decrease the inflammation includes aspirin or medications called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. These are medications like aspirin but do not have to be taken as frequently as aspirin, and include ibuprofen (or Advil or Motrin), naprosyn (or Aleve), Feldene, Clinoril, Daypro, Indocin and others.
What Can Be Done If Those Treatments Do Not Work?
If rest, ice, medication and modifying your activity does not work, then the next step is a cortisone shot. One shot into the joint sometimes takes care of the pain and swelling permanently, but the effect is unpredictable and may not last forever. Usually no more than one or two cortisone shots are given before surgery is considered.
If these treatments do not work then surgery can be considered. Since the pain is due to the ends of the bones making contact with each other, the treatment is actually removal of a portion of the end of the collarbone. (Figure III) The AC joint is one of the few joints in the body where you can live without a portion of the bone making up the joint. The surgery can be done through a small incision about one inch long or it can be done with several small incisions using an arthroscopic technique. Regardless of the technique utilized the recovery and results are about the same. In most cases the patient can go home the same day as the surgery wearing an arm sling. The stitches come out about a week later and motion of the shoulder begins right away. It takes about four to six weeks to get complete motion and a few more weeks to begin regaining strength. Recovery is variable depending upon many factors but most patients are back to full activity by three months.
What are the results of surgery?
Most patients get excellent pain relief with this operation and nearly ninety-five percent return to their pre-injury level of activity and sports. There are few complications and most patients are very satisfied with the result. There is always a possibility of infection but it is rare. Occasionally a patient may have some fatigue or pain with extreme lifting or with exercises if the shoulder is not in shape. However, most patients are very satisfied with the surgery and can be more active than before surgery.
What is an AC "separation"?
When the AC joint is "separated" it means that the ligaments are torn and the collarbone no longer lines up with the acromion. Ligaments are tough, sinewy tissues that act like tethers to hold the bones together. When those ligaments are stretched or torn they can be very painful.
The injury to the ligaments in an AC separation can be mild to severe. The injuries are graded depending upon which ligaments are torn and how badly they are torn. A grade I injury is where the least damage is done and only the joint itself is injured. A grade II injury consists of damage to the ligaments at the AC joint and also to to other ligaments which stabilize the joint. This second set of ligaments attach the collarbone to another part of the shoulder blade, called the coracoid (Figure IV). These ligaments are called the "coraco-clavicular ligaments". In a grade II injury these coraco-clavicular ligaments are only stretched but not entirely torn. The collarbone may not line up with the acromion if these are stretched and results in a lump at the AC joint. In a grade III injury the coraco-clavicular ligaments are completely torn and the collarbone is no longer tethered to the shoulder blade. As a result the collarbone no longer lines up with the acromion and there is a deformity at the joint (Figure V).
What is the treatment for AC separation?
These can be very painful injuries and the initial treatment is to decrease the pain. This is best accomplished by immobilizing the arm in a sling, placing an ice pack to the shoulder for 20-30minutes as often as every two hours and using pain medication. The pain is usually proportional to the severity of the separation.
As the pain starts to subside it is important to begin moving the fingers, wrist and elbow to prevent stiffness. Next it is important to begin shoulder motion to prevent a stiff or "frozen" shoulder. When and how much to move the shoulder should be done at the direction of your physician, physical therapist or trainer. Usually as the pain is decreasing you will find you can move it more, and this will not damage or hinder the healing process. The length of time needed to regain full motion and function depends upon the severity or grade of the injury. A grade I takes ten to fourteen days whereas a grade III takes six to eight weeks. A grade II takes somewhere in between.
When is surgery indicated?
The good news is that a majority of Grade I, II and III injuries do not need surgery. Even the grade III injuries usually allow return to full activity with few restrictions. There are some surgeons who recommend surgical treatment for high caliber athletes who throw a baseball for a living, but a vast majority of people do not need surgery for this condition. There are rare variations of this injury where the collarbone is higher than usual and almost sticking through the skin. In these cases surgery may be indicated but careful consideration should be given to the advantages and disadvantages of surgery. The advantage is that the deformity at the AC joint is corrected, but in exchange there is a scar on the shoulder. Another advantage for the very severe deformity is that it will eliminate pain if the end of the collarbone is rubbing the skin or muscle. Disadvantages of surgery are that there are risks of infection, a longer time to return of full function and continued pain is some cases. Surgery can be very successful in cases where it is indicated.

2014 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEDAN: Refreshed 2014 Hyundai Elantra receives all-new front and rear exterior designs, upgraded interior styling, new GDI engine and improved handling. Elantra Sport is added to the lineup, and the Elantra GLS is now Elantra SE. New technologies built into the '14 Elantra include the next-generation navigation and audio technology, enhanced voice recognition commands, improved navigation screens and available Pandora internet radio. A 4.3-inch color touchscreen with integrated rearview camera is now available on the entry level SE, in the Preferred Package, and as standard equipment on the Elantra Sport and Limited. Under the hood, the SE and Limited come with an all-new 148 horsepower 1.8 liter Nu four-cylinder engine, while the Elantra Sport trim is outfitted with the 2.0L "Nu" GDI four-cylinder that produces 173hp. Engines can be ordered with the hi-tech six-speed manual gearbox or new in-house six-speed automatic transaxle with Shiftronic manual control. Elantra's five passenger cabin is so roomy the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classifies it as a mid-size car, not a compact car. Elantra's trunk volume at 14.8 cubic feet can fit three sets of golf clubs. Standard audio system is a 172-watt AM/FM/satellite radio/CD/MP3 audio system with six-speakers and iPod/USB/auxiliary input jacks. A 360-watt system with external amplifier is optional. Elantra's trunk volume at 14.8 cubic feet also beats most competitors. An additional 2014 highlight is mellow Atlantic Blue to the color palette. Hyundai's emotional "Fluidic Sculpture" design principles demand an assertive stance, flowing lines, sleek roofline and muscular wheel arches. Filling the wheel wells are 16- or 17-inch rims and tires, and available fog lights and side mirrors with integrated turn signals complete the distinct design.

The University of North Dakota is fine being called the underdog. If that's really how you see them. Following practice at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the team fielded several questions about taking on the top seeded Minnesota Golden Gophers.
"If people want to call us the underdog that's fine," said Rocco Grimaldi. "I mean we're here. It doesn't matter if you're the top seed or the underdog this time of year and all you have to do is win one game and you get another shot to win one more on Saturday night."
Most importantly for UND though, is the confidence they've collected as they spent a majority of the season unranked and recognized. They've believed in themselves from the beginning. So while they'll let you call them the underdog, they aren't hanging it in their locker room.
"Everybody's calling us underdogs but we earned our way here," explained Nick Mattson. "We're confident and we don't' necessarily feel like underdogs. We know what we have this room and I think if we just go out there and attack. Play loose, we'll be fine."
"There's a lot of confidence in that room," added captain Dillon Simpson. "I think that's carried a long way for us. A lot of people are counting us as the underdogs and so there's not a lot of pressure on us. You have to tell the guys to embrace it, have fun with it and at the end of the day just go play your best game of the year."

One of the great advantages of an SLR camera is the ability to attach long focal length lenses and capture high magnification images of faraway objects. One of greatest challenges, then, is holding said lenses steady during image capture. You may think you have a steady hand, but as you have read here, you are probably wrong. Luckily, lens manufacturers have solved the hand holding problem by incorporating image stabilization features into the lenses. Tradition has it that one should be able to capture a sharp image by hand holding the camera and setting the shutter speed to 1/focal length. Chances are, you can do much better than that. The reason is that little button on the side of your lens that says IS (or VR for Nikonians). Image stabilization routinely enables sharp hand held photos at shutter speeds that are 3-4 stops slower than the 1/focal length rule would imply. There is no doubt about the benefits of image stabilization but how does this magical technology work?
The secret to an image stabilized lens is an internal lens element that is allowed to float off of the original optical axis. While the front and rear elements remain stationary, the internal floating lens bounces to and fro to compensate for the movements of our shaking hand. The scenario roughly unfolds as follows. Tiny gyroscopes and accelerometers detect subtle movements of the lens. They then trigger circuits which move the floating lens in equal and opposite directions to counteract the movement.
This magic is normally hidden from our prying eyes, but we've managed to dissect an example to show you how this works. The video below shows a Canon 18-55 kit lens with its front element removed. Once inside, you can clearly see the floating lens element dancing around in its desperate attempt to stabilize the image presented to the camera sensor. Remove one more layer from the lens and you can marvel at the complexity of the movements involved in the image stabilization process.
Image Stabilization Revealed from Camera Technica on Vimeo.
So is image stabilization worth all the fuss? Definitely. The top two images below show hand held photos taken at shutter speeds comparable to 1/focal length (in this case 300mm). As shown, sharp images can be captured with image stabilization on or off. However, as we slow the shutter speed three stops, the image stabilized capture still retains good sharpness while the non-IS image is a total loss.
Image stabilized lenses have made their way to us in several iterations of technology. Because of that, there are several situations which require different treatments of the IS or VR setting.
- Camera mounted on tripod – Enabling the IS/VR setting essentially unlocks the internal lens element into its "floating" position. When a camera is stationary on a tripod, the unlocking of the floating lens can actually degrade images by bouncing around unnecessarily. Later generation "smart" IS systems can overcome this weakness so check your manual for the best advice.
- Panning the camera – Early IS/VR lenses had trouble differentiating between accidental camera shake and the intentional camera movement that comes from panning. Different generations of technology handle this differently. You may need to enable a switch to alert the lens that you are panning or the lens may handle this on its own. Check your manual for the best advice.
So now that you know how the technology works, make sure to take advantage of it. We live in a glorious age when the blurriness of our photos is not dependent on the last cup of coffee we had. Just aim your camera and fire away.
