The Semester in Strategic Operations (SSO) Immersion prepares Johnson MBA students and selected Cornell graduate students from the School of Industrial and Labor Relations as well as the College of Engineering for careers in:
Sharing perspectives from diverse disciplines and simulating real-world, cross functional collaboration, students learn from one another and through rigorous course and field work. Students gain a comprehensive understanding of the core and current operations issues that general managers, operations professionals, and consultants encounter as well as the sophisticated techniques to solve them.
Led by Nagesh Gavirneni, we utilize a three-pronged strategy to prepare students for successful careers, including:
We take site visits seriously and understand the exceptional value they provide. Over the course of 11 days, we visit 15 sites and see firsthand how corporations align their operations to overall business strategy. Students interact with both shop floor personnel and employees at the corporate level to learn how intent meets action on the factory floor.
Our typical site visit lasts 3 - 4 hours and immerses students in operational environments, testing their knowledge of the many concepts studied in the classroom. Business strategies and functions such as inventory management, queuing, supply chain management, human resources, and Six Sigma are brought to life. Because site visits provide unique learning opportunities for students, we do not combine visits with recruiting. Instead, students interact with companies through designated on and off-campus recruiting activities.
In addition to interacting with companies during site visits, SSO students participate in real 3 day-long kaizen events at Lord Corporation. Stemming from the Japanese philosophy of engaging in continuous improvement, kaizen events encourage employees to develop ways of improving their business responsibilities and processes. The ultimate goal is to eliminate waste and provide immediate benefits to problems.
SSO students have participated in these events for more than 10 years, equipping them with unique insights and experience for internship and full-time opportunities. This augments students' understanding of ever-changing business issues and the varying factors – such as cultural norms and geographic challenges – that typify business in a global economy. It also reinforces Johnson's focus on performance learning and challenges students with real business problems.
Recent SSO students secured MBA internships and full-time employment at prestigious companies. Some examples include:

Every culture has its coming of age rituals — Confirmation, Bar Mitzvah, being hunted by tribal elders, surviving in the wilderness, driving at high speed while texting — all of which mark the progress from childhood to adulthood. In the high-tech world, one of the rituals marking the maturation of a company is the user group. When a company has a strategy it wants to communicate, a critical mass of customers, and prospects bright enough that it wants to highlight them rather than obscure them, it is time for a user group meeting.
This year, having passed a year since the acquisition of Novell by AttachMate and its subsequent instantiation as a standalone division, as well as being its 20th anniversary, SUSE had its first user group meeting. All in all, the portents were good, and SUSE got its core messages across to an audience of about 500 of its users as well as a cadre of the more sophisticated (IMHO) industry analysts.
Among My Key Takeaways:

Clancy Pendergast
Clancy Pendergast, who has coordinated some of the top defenses in the NFL and in college during the past nine years, was named USC's defensive coordinator in January of 2013. He will also work with USC's secondary.
The 45-year-old Pendergast, who spent 1992 as a defensive assistant at USC, is known for his aggressive defenses that use creative schemes to create pressure.
He spent the past three years (2010-12) as the defensive coordinator at California. The Golden Bears led the conference in total defense, pass defense and fewest first downs allowed in each of his first two seasons while producing nine NFL players, including first rounder Cameron Jordan, and three All-Conference first teamers, including 2011 Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year Mychal Kendricks.
In 2010, Cal topped the Pac-10 in sacks and was in the league's top five in scoring defense, rushing defense, pass efficiency defense and opponent third down conversions while holding four opponents to 10 or less points (the most by a Golden Bear defense since 1968) and three foes to under 200 total yards.
In 2011, Cal was in the Pac-12's top three in rushing defense, pass efficiency defense, sacks and tackles for loss while notching 23 turnovers and 34 sacks and holding five teams under 70 rushing yards. The Golden Bears played in the Holiday Bowl.
His young 2012 Cal defense, with only five returning starters, held the wide-open offenses of UCLA and Washington State to just 17 points each.
Pendergast went to Cal after six seasons as an NFL defensive coordinator with the Arizona Cardinals (2004-08), including when the Cardinals won the 2008 NFC title to earn a berth in Super Bowl XLIII, and Kansas City Chiefs (2009). His squads had 176 takeaways during those six years.
In his five seasons with Arizona, his defense finished 20th or better in the final NFL rankings 37 times in categories such as points allowed, total yards allowed, rushing yards allowed, passing yards allowed, yards allowed per play, opponents third down percentage, sacks, interceptions and fumbles recovered.
Cardinal linemen Bertrand Berry and Darnell Dockett were Pro Bowlers in his defense. He also worked with Arizona's secondary, coaching safety Adrian Wilson to a pair of Pro Bowls.
In 2004, Arizona was 12th in the NFL in total defense and scoring defense, as well as in the top five in third down defense and fumble recoveries, and it forced 30 turnovers. Linebacker Karlos Dansby was an All-Rookie honoree.
His 2005 unit was in the NFL's top 10 in total defense, third down efficiency, first downs allowed and fumble recoveries, while his 2006 defense forced 33 turnovers, the most by the Cardinals since 1998 and tied for fifth in the NFL that year.
In 2007, Arizona was ninth in the NFL in run defense and set a modern-day NFL record by holding the Detroit Lions to minus 18 rushing yards. Its six scoring interception returns and 551 interception return yards that season were franchise records as the Cardinals tied for 10th in the NFL in interceptions.
In 2008, Arizona tied for fifth in the league with 30 takeaways, including forcing 13 turnovers during its playoff run.
In 2009 with Kansas City, a young Chiefs defense had 28 takeaways and 22 sacks. The unit improved significantly in sacks, rushing touchdowns allowed and third down conversions from the previous year.
Pendergast began his NFL coaching career in 1995 as a defensive assistant/quality control coach with the Houston Oilers.
He then spent seven seasons (1996-2002) with the Dallas Cowboys as part of staffs that won two NFC East titles (1996 and 1998) and made three NFC playoff appearances (1996, 1998-99). He was a defensive assistant and quality control coach his first four seasons (1996-99), then oversaw Dallas' nickel defense packages in 2000 before coaching the defensive backs in his final two campaigns (2001-02). The Cowboys were third in the NFL in pass defense in 2000 and 2001. He tutored safety Roy Williams, who was an All-Rookie selection in 2002, as well as All-Pro and three-time Pro Bowl safety Darren Woodson.
He then was the linebackers coach with the Cleveland Browns in 2003.
Pendergast started his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Mississippi State in 1991 before becoming a Trojan defensive assistant in 1992 under head coach Larry Smith. He then was a graduate assistant/tight ends at Oklahoma for two seasons (1993-94). Each of those college teams played in a bowl, as Mississippi State qualified for the Liberty Bowl, USC for the Freedom Bowl and Oklahoma for the John Hancock and Copper Bowls.
He prepped at Tolleson (Ariz.) High, then received his bachelor's degree in agriculture from Arizona in 1990.
Born on Nov. 29, 1967, he is single.
BIRTHDAY: Nov. 29, 1967

Titus Young Scouting Report
|Boise State Broncos
|Jersey Number:
|Height & Weight:
|5'11 - 175 lbs.
|40-Yard Dash
|Broad jump
2011 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Titus Young, WR, Boise State
For his senior season Young is keeping up with his impressive 2009 numbers in every category. He has yet to return a kick for a score, but through seven games he has only had 15 opportunities on kick-off returns. That is partially because teams kick away from him, but the opposition does not score much either against the Broncos, so the opportunities are limited.
At 5-11 and 175 pounds, Young would need to be a slot receiver in the NFL. He has good speed, but needs to run closer to a 4.4 40 than a 4.5 at the NFL combine to cement his spot in the top half of the draft. His lack of size will keep him down some draft boards, but his ability to return kicks (not to mention run solid routes and make tough catches) should make up for his lack of size.
3/15 Update: Young had a superb Senior Week in January and was working his way up into the second round. He ran good routes and caught just about everything feasible. He showed off his good hands again in February at the NFL combine, but his route running left a lot to be desired and he did not run nearly as fast as had hoped. Of course Young wanted to run faster than anybody ever has at the combine, but his 4.43 time is certainly respectable. His inconsistencies at the combine have slipped his stock a little bit, but he could still be picked late in the second round.

Titus Young could be Green Bay's #1 pick at 32. They are probably losing Jones and Driver is going to be 36. G.B. desperately needs a kick returner and getting another speedy receiver is not out of the question.
hinkleyhick 02/22/11 12:08 AM
With over 1,100 yards on the receiving end this season, there are plenty of teams that will be looking at Titus Young. Solely, there have not been as well prospects coming from Boise State in the past. I have him drafted by Denver, #2 overall, falling only to Ryan Mallett and his ability to throw balls over those fat people who call themselves linebackers. Look for Titus to be an elite NFL WR after only 7 games of the Broncos season (even when they miserably fail to the Chargers woot).
BleepBlopBloopBlop 02/21/11 01:12 PM
It is becoming more and more common to see smaller, quick receivers as difference makers in the NFL. Titus Young put on a clinic in the WAC in his 2010 campaign displaying great hands and quickness. As stated above, he needs to improve his speed to be effective at the next level but he has the hands. His off-the-field actions are a bit suspect after missing the 2008 season, but that seems to be in the past and could potentially fly under the radar as teams don't analyze backgrounds as much in the later rounds.

About Elvis Aron Presley
Elvis Aaron Presley, in the humblest of circumstances, was born to Vernon and Gladys Presley in a two-room house in Tupelo, Mississippi on January 8, 1935. His twin brother, Jessie Garon, was stillborn, leaving Elvis to grow up as an only child. He and his parents moved to Memphis, Tennessee in 1948, and Elvis graduated from Humes High School there in 1953.
Elvis' musical influences were the pop and country music of the time, the gospel music he heard in church and at the all-night gospel sings he frequently attended, and the black R&B he absorbed on historic Beale Street as a Memphis teenager. In 1954, he began his singing career with the legendary Sun Records label in Memphis. In late 1955, his recording contract was sold to RCA Victor. By 1956, he was an international sensation. With a sound and style that uniquely combined his diverse musical influences and blurred and challenged the social and racial barriers of the time, he ushered in a whole new era of American music and popular culture.
He starred in 33 successful films, made history with his television appearances and specials, and knew great acclaim through his many, often record-breaking, live concert performances on tour and in Las Vegas. Globally, he has sold over one billion records, more than any other artist. His American sales have earned him gold, platinum or multi-platinum awards for 150 different albums and singles, far more than any other artist. Among his many awards and accolades were 14 Grammy nominations (3 wins) from the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, which he received at age 36, and his being named One of the Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Nation for 1970 by the United States Jaycees. Without any of the special privileges his celebrity status might have afforded him, he honorably served his country in the U.S. Army.
His talent, good looks, sensuality, charisma, and good humor endeared him to millions, as did the humility and human kindness he demonstrated throughout his life. Known the world over by his first name, he is regarded as one of the most important figures of twentieth century popular culture. Elvis died at his Memphis home, Graceland, on August 16, 1977. Source
What is less known about Elvis is that his ancestors came from Germany, their original surname was Pressler. They were part of the Sinti people, known as the "Black Dutch." It is also likely that from his mother's side, Smith by surname, the family would have been of Romanichel origins.
His surname, Presley, is anglicized from the German name Pressler from Elvis' ancestor Johann Valentin Pressler who immigrated to the United States from Germany in 1710.
Johann Valentin Pressler, a winegrower emigrated to America in 1710. Pressler came from a village in southern Palatinate called Niederhochstadt. Niederhochstadt became Hochstadt sometime during the 250 years after Johann Pressler left it, but there are still many Presslers there, among them a winegrower like Johann Valentin. Johann Valentin first settled in New York and later moved his family to the South.
The name was Anglicized during the Civil War by a Pressler serving in the Confederate Army, Presley and Dunn report in a forthcoming book on the Presley family.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Just read through this whole thread. Its a bit sad. From what I see this is what I think is really happening...
The OP, coming from a skateboard background where he was sponsored and better than the average rider, really feels some type of way about not being able to take to snowboarding as easily as he did skateboarding. Hence his opposition to the suggestions of taking lessons. People have given some really great advice about centering yourself (body weight) but it appears to have fallen on deaf ears. He doesn't want to accept that his skills are possibly the issue and would instead choose to place blame on the board.
I have sort of been in the same boat. First time I went riding I only watch a couple of youtube videos and used a rental (its was like a 149 they gave me). I road fine all day. No problem turning, stopping, getting up, etc etc. Next year bought my own board; Burton Flying V 157. Fell A LOT. Had a hard time controling my turns. Couldn't get up to any speed without getting squirrely. Started thinking it was the boards fault for being a hybrid. But I humbled myself. Thought to myself, "This board was made this way intentionally. I'm not the only one out here with hybrid. So clearly it CAN be ridden....just not by me right now." So I needed to find out what I was doing wrong. Luckily I found this forum. Read lots of threads and comments from people who could ride a lot better, harder, faster and steeper than me. Help me TREMENDOUSLY. Perhaps thats what the OP needs to do. Humble himself, let go of the defensiveness and heed the advice of those who CAN ride the same type of board that he is having trouble with.

Sounds like your weight isn't close to the center.

I sought out some coaching last year too. If you recognize a limitation in your progression, the fastest way past it is to get help. If your days are valuable, then get the most value out of them.

if you are constantly spinning out and you say you put too much weight on your back foot that's the problem. you should not put more weight on your back foot. you are doing what people call noob error sitting in the back seat and when you try to turn, what happens is you kick the back of your board out and you start spinning. always initiate turn with your front foot not back. weight more on your front foot.
rent a camber if you think its your board but mostly not.

Evo listed it as a twin board with directional flex. If that's actually the shape of this board? It shouldn't have a setback stance should it? I know some riders will add setback to a twin to ride POW. But you wouldn't want to do that on a twin for everyday riding would you?
....Damn, misread my own copy n paste. It is listed as a directional twin. So as mentioned it will always have the bindinngs off center. If you actually center them on a directional board? That would fuck up the ride characteristics.

Their advice is make sure your center mass is not over your back foot, because if it is then that is pulling your nose off the ground (i.e. a constant butter) if your nose/ front foot is not getting good contact with the snow, then any board is going to be unstable and terrible when turning, your front foot is your steering wheel.
Try and understand what they are saying, whether it is the situation or not. You misunderstanding and firing back aggressively is why their comments got harsh. Chill, diagnose the problem, thank everyone for advice, and enjoy snowboarding

OP, it can well be that having the wrong stance set up affects your balance, especially in the beginning. I need some runs on a new board till I find the right position and have a screwdriver in my pocket the first day. I always begin to set up centered stances i.e. symmetrical from the middle inserts. If the baseplate don't allow to take the middle ones or the stance is too narrow/wide, go one further outwards or inwards mirrored with both bindings, depending on your stance width. My stance width usually doesn't fit the inserts symmetrically thus I have the hind one one insert further back.
Considering the lessons... I never had one which I sometimes regret. Decided to learn to ride switch recently and made a complete idiot of myself, not being able to link two turns (which was a bit embarrassing; I'm riding many moons and expected it to be easier). It took a friend - who was an instructor - only some minutes to point out the major faults and give me some hints how to work on them, and see, I was mastering the hill backwards (still very clumsy but no longer on my butt ) Point is: I would have figured it out somehow somewhen as well, but progress is so much easier if someone who has learned to teach (learned to use the right words and to analyze movements) can give hints.

Hello everyone!
It's great to be registered and to be a part of TDH!
Today, i'm 42 (ugh)... I wonder what Fett said when he turned 42? (or Mr. Bulloch for that matter)
I guess my birthday wish would be for resourceful year in getting started on a BF outfit. Although I asked the question and got a few answers of $10,000 for a "Top Notch" outfit... that was a little more than I was expecting... step back and readjust. I must say, I'm kind of interested in the 501st Legion Clone Trooper outfit with the blue on it as well, but I think my all time favorite should come first! "Fett Lives!"
No big plans for my cake day. I really appreciate the birthday wish from the TDH admin!
I'd say "May The Force Be With You"... but I guess that would be for the Rebel Alliance group. Thanks for reading!


text: First, I am worried about Stuckey. Hope he is ok. No definitive report on him yet. Just that he felt dizzy, and left the game for good in the 2nd quarter. I see speculation that it is a heart problem. Lets hope not, and if it is, at least that it only affects his basketball career. This was another loss, coaches decision. We saw all last year, you try to take Afflalo out of the rotation, we lose. No Afflalo in the 2nd quarter, and we had the worst 2nd quarter of the year so far. Two straight games taking Afflalo out of the rotation, two straight losses. Herrmann played very little in this one. Enough though that a lead disappeared quickly. Boston attacked him pretty much every single time he was in the game. He did ok on one possesion. Don't let the boxscore fool you, Sheed had a terrible game, only finally hitting some shots when we were way down and it mattered too little. Rip joined him in a horrid shooting night. We had a bit of a lead in that first quarter, and if either of these two would have hit anything, we would have some control of the game right there. Tay did ok shooting, but two of his triples were when we were already too far behind. AI did ok. We had a very, very good start of the game, save Rip misfiring several shots. Even with them having a bit of a scoring flurry at the end of the first, we still only gave up 17 that quarter. We were outscored 30-10 in the 2nd quarter, while not bothering to play our best perimeter defender, Afflalo. Like I said, coaches decision to lose this one. Kwame can't hit a free throw, so you might as well try hard to strip the ball from him. He looked too slow for this game on defense too. Boston packed it in on us all night, and for the most part, we could not hit an outside shot. Amir actually played in all four quarters of this one. Lots of hustle plays from him. Bynum got an opportunity to play in the 2nd half due to the problem Stuckey is having, and looked good out there. About it for now. Like someone mentioned on one of the boards, this is early. Curry is not necessarily looking at what will win the game at hand, but is rather seeing who can do what. You can see what I write as criticism. It is not meant to be. Just telling people what I saw. Everyone have a great night.

Multi-section driveshaft
Every now and again I pull my AWD project out of the dust of my brain and take another look at it.
I'm trying to come up with a way to make an AWD car/rod. Haven't decided yet on the vehicle as that might be driven by the packaging.
Anyhow, I've settled on independent front and rear suspensions which will essentially fix all the drivetrain components in the chassis so I don't have to worry about accomodating the drivetrain moving as a live rear axle would move up and down with the suspension.
One of the things I'm seriously considering then, is mounting the transfer case in front of the rear differential, instead of directly behind the transmission. That way, the packaging that large assembly will most likely affect the rear seat area instead of the front seat area.
A real problem I've been wrestling with is how to get the front driveshaft up to the front differential from the transfer case.
I have a Sierra pickup with 4wd. I'm assuming that any AWD transfer case I'll be using will have roughly the same dimensions. In the pickup, the front driveshaft runs roughly right under the accelerator pedal. I'd really hate to have to expand the driveshaft hump that far over to encroach on the driver (or front seat passenger, if I reversed it) footwell.
So, one thing I thought about is perhaps using a system of driveshafts, universals and bearing carriers.
I figured I could have one driveshaft that angled inward from the rear transfer case towards the main driveshaft off the transmission. That would lead to a straight driveshaft, parallel to the main, and held in place by carrier bearings front and back. That would run right up to where the main driveshaft enters the transmission, where another driveshaft would angle off to the front differential.
The intermediate driveshaft would always be parallel with the main. However, the front and back sections of the multi-section driveshaft going to the front diff would have two sections that would always be angled.
Just from experience, it seems most driveshafts with universals are set up so they are straight at ride hight, and only operate at angles when the suspension moves.
So, I'm wondering if it is feasible to have driveshafts that operate at a fixed angle all the time?
Is there some maximum recommended angle that can be used without problems?
Would CV joints be better than universal joints in this sort of setup?
Any other ideas?
Just loose the driveshafts and go to Hydraulics

CV joints will transfer power over a larger angle than Ujoints and they'll do it without vibes. I think the complexity of the system will give you fits though.
I often gave consideration to using a solid drive shaft instead of a hollow tube. That would add a little weight, but sure would save some room. You could use a series of ujoints and carrier bearings, but the straighter the better.
Thanks Curtis,
The complexity bugs me, although with the driveshafts all aligned on the same plane, it is probably less of a problem than if any of the components were moving relative to each other (although there would likely be some movement as the frame torques).
I'll have to play with some ideas and get measurements. Perhaps I can locate the transfer case right under the driver seat - that would lessen the clearance issue, depending on the seat I use, but that still doesn't help me with the actual driveshaft.
Luckily, I'm not too tall. I may be able to get away with raising the seat up a bit and then I could raise the floor as well without having to raise the entire body to clear.
I have mentioned this before when you posted about your AWD project. You should try to find a first gen Bravada/Syclone/Typhoon and take a look under it. The "transfer case" is not very big, I do not know how it compares to late model cases, but I know it is considerably smaller than the cases of the early 80's. It might be possible to rotate the case to make it more parallel with the ground. The drive shaft is not a large diameter shaft, I would have to look under mine again to check the size, it is much smaller than the rear shaft. The front diff. is mounted to the frame so it doesn't move except for vibration. The front shaft is located very close to the engine, there is no room for the oil filter it is remotely mounted. If needed I should be able to take some pics with the digital cam and post them.
Not all transfer cases have the front shaft on the drivers side. Check out Subaru for a compact one
Thanks OneownerT. I haven't been able to find a vehicle with the BW4472 under it to see what the dimensions are like. From what I've seen on the web, it would be a lot easier to fit. Even better, they're relatively plentiful and inexpensive compared to other cases. I haven't ruled it out.
However, I've also been thinking about the larger 4473 or NVG 149 which are used on the FS truck chassis with AWD. They have presumably a higher torque capacity than the 4472.
I haven't been able to find ratings for the 4472, but its been superceded by the NVG 126/136 on Bravadas and Astros which have torque ratings of around 1500 ft-lb. The NVG 149 has a 2200 ft-lb rating and a magnesium case. The 149 is largely in trucks while the 4473 is largely in vans. Problem is the shafts are spaced much wider apart than the 4472 - between 50% and 100% the distance from what I can gather.
I figure if I'm going to go through the work, it would be better to try to make the heavier, although larger, case work, if possible.
One thing I've noticed though, the 149 has mostly empty space in between the shafts - possibly to use the same space as a standard FS truck 4X4 xfer case. Perhaps it would be possible to swap the higher capacity parts from the 149 into the 4472 with a smaller diameter belt. I suspect the viscous clutch is the main failure component, probably followed by the belt.
Check out what some of the offroad "moon buggies" do. They use a 2-piece driveshaft. Many of them have their driveshafts made at:
I have thought long and hard about this same problem...
Here are a few sites that might help. Many of the transfer cases can be clocked to whatever position you want, provided they don't require sump oiling. Adapters are sold to go from just about any tranny to any Tcase, and a divorced Tcase solves almost any clocking or adapter issue.
Most of these sites have adapters listed for 4x4 applications, so the tranny listings won't correspond to many of the trannys you would find in a performance car, but by carefully cross referencing the Tcase applications versus the transmissions they were used behind, and you might come up with some powerful info.
These are links I happened to come across while working on a 65 Scout project.
Thank you for those links. I didn't know much about what the off-roading guys were doing. Looks like they've already solved a lot of the same problems, although for different reasons.
That's some amazing hardware they're selling.
I did not read all the responces to your multi drive shaft deal but did you think about using ,, i think it is a didge 4x4 set up or an older chevy full size truck .. but one i have seen dumps out on th epassenger side of the vehicle which might give you more clearance.. dont know what kind of body your going to use.. also the jimmy blazer uses a small transfer case as well as the bronco two. just remember this the more complicated the plumbing the easier it is to stop up lolol
Multi Section Driveshaft & AWD
Thanks to innovators like yourself that we have the most advanced Nation in the world. Just don't let that stop you from looking at some of the most successful AWD vehicles on the market today.They are either German or Japanese. AMC with the Eagle was a pioneer in production AWD but AUDI really pioneered and used the concept. Seriously, the Japanese have not been much for initial development, but they have excelled at polishing out the rough spots in what others have designed.
How are the AWD high performance German cars doing it??
Have fun & hope your pockets are deep!
You'll need an IRS to mount the transfer case at the back, but that's not a big problem. Instead of having so many u-joints for a minimum of room saved, angle the driveshaft from the t-case to where it needs to come from under the floor. Then put in a carrier bearing and another u-joint to swing it where it needs to go.
As for a hot rod instead of under another car, there's an easier way that looks feasible. Take a look at C-boy's project page. He has a "rat rod" with a Ford truck Twin-I Beam front suspension. Using a frame similar to that with a live axle in front, with the radiator in front of the axle (like C-boy's, only really have the radiator in front!), there wouldn't be many problems. Use a passenger side transfer case to solve some clearance issues, and use a straight six or four for more room. Most have nothing but the fuel pump hanging out the right side, and that can be replaced iwth an electric if it's in the way -- no exhaust or steering over there!
Use parallel leaf springs like an American Undersprung or use coil overs and hairpins/four links. Keeping the transfer case on the driver's side is doable, just have a raised floor. Driver would be sitting nearly straight legged on the floor though. To keep movement under the floor to a minimum having a two piece shaft going to the front with a u-joint at the bottom of the firewall/front of floor would work well. Get a Jeep Cherokee with 4.0L EFI six and you'd have all the parts needed!
I have to admit, passenger side transfer case would be a LOT easier. Not because of room under the floor, but because the exhaust and steering gear is on the left side too. CJs used a passenger side front shaft transfer case (through 86) -- it's even gear driven! Drawback: it's full cast iron -- a little heavy but bullet proof. Early full size Jeeps used passenger side transfer cases, later ones don't (not sure which years). A straight six FSJ would provide most of the needed parts or a CJ. The six lug wheels would be an issue though. Toyota pickups have a passenger side T-case, so one of those would be a good base for a light weight roadster. Forget using the frame -- a custom frame Z'd on both ends is needed.
Last edited by farna; 01-13-2006 at 02:01 PM. Reason: wrong info!
The car I have in mind as my first choice is going to probably weigh around 4000 lbs.
The Syclone/Typhoon weighed in at 3600 and 3800 respectively. They were both running 360 ft-lbs of torque out of the turbo'd V6. So, I think if I don't power it with anything too radical, the 4472 transfer case should hold up OK. I'm thinking around 400 ft-lbs max should be doable for a driver. That's mild smallblock torque territory, which should be reasonably fun.
4x4 hotrod
Here's a link to a Stude on a S-10 chassis w/ 4 link rear end creating an all wheel drive and 4 wheel independant suspension and a Caddy mill pushing thru a 4L80 into a jag rear end.
Now, an open wheel car would look a bit goofy with the stock Chevy setup out front but a full bodied car would hide it a bit.
Me? I'm going the 4x4 route for a Studebaker Conestoga wagon SUV and am looking for a longbed s-10 chassis to match my car's wheelbase.
Good luck with your project!

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 26
My friends and I always hang out at a bakery in a little village called St. Petes. We just draw there, write, do anything we want (we occupy 3 of the 5 tables there, though, hahah.) One day we were there and I was giving all my friends the new "Squidsights" I just printed off, and a stranger came up to me, and I was kind of embarassed cause she was like, really cool, and I was SO not as cool as her. She said, "What is that?" I said,"Oh, just some zines I drew and printed." And she freaked out and was like, "OHMYGOD YOURE SO GOOD AT DRAWLING OHGADS." And she bought four copies off me for her and her friends. My friends and I were so psyched.


text: Im shopping around for a WRX Got to be honest im really put off by the price. I know they are hard to get a hold of right now and because of this the used ones hold there value but ive been seeing people selling used for more then New!! Then looking at new the base model comes with nothing and is $26,556. The premium which is the same car just with blue tooth and moon roof and still has cloth seats is a wooping $29,600. I plan on buying one cause i really like them alot but when you look at the prices of other cars right now in the same performance category its a downer! Right now you can get a new Mazda speed3 for only $22,000 at some dealers and the new Focus ST is pretty sweet and comes with a ton of tech even in the standard base model.. Like i said the car is awsome i love that it has AWD main reason for wanting it but the price sucks!

Of course, I have enormous sympathy for David. Well, no that's a lie. I don't have enormous sympathy for him. In fact, now I come to ponder the matter seriously, I don't have any sympathy at all for him.
Because of my fatigue, that is, because of my Beckham-fatigue. Enough is enough, and we've had more than enough over the past few weeks. Beckham this, Beckham that, Beckham the other, will he play, will he sit, will he stay, will he return, will he get another cap, will he beat Bobby Moore's record for England ... ad nauseam.
Hey, maybe it's Beckham-nausea and not Beckham-fatigue that I'm suffering from. I've OD-ed on Beckham. Of that I'm sure -- but it's not my fault, I've been forced into this situation! The guy has been inescapable lately, smiling nicely, being wildly overpraised for average AC Milan performances, and making dismissive remarks about the Galaxy and American soccer in general.
Does he realize he's being dismissive? Maybe, but the impression is that he doesn't care anyway. He expects to get his way, he expects to sign for Milan, he expects that a way will be found to avoid an awkward situation when -- hold your breath, guys! -- he might have to honor the obscene contracts he signed with MLS and with the Galaxy.
I have one of his latest whines in front of me, right here: "I've said I want to stay here and if I do go back then it will be a bit difficult." I suppose it will. It's never exactly a hilarious situation when a player resents being with a club -- especially when he's supposed to be their main guy.
Difficult it will be. Should it happen. But David may not chuck his weight around like an icon, he may not dominate the tabloid headlines with saucy episodes -- but he does expect to get his way: "Hopefully things will go the way I want them."
No doubt they will. Do the Galaxy and Bruce Arena really want to welcome back a player who doesn't want to be anywhere near Los Angeles?
I can't see it. But then, I can't really believe in the ultimatums and deadlines that MLS and the Galaxy are going on about. They sound like empty face-savers to me. The fact is that both MLS and the Galaxy have been, and continue to be, outmaneuvered by AC Milan. They have been made to look utterly foolish as they try to convince the world that they have the upper hand in the negotiations. But it is all bluster and hot air, as they demand the return of a player who doesn't want to return -- a player whom, they must know, cannot now be worth much to MLS, a player of negative value on the publicity front. If Beckham now praises American soccer, he sounds hypocritical and no one is going to believe him; if he criticizes it, well that's exactly the opposite of what he's being paid the big bucks to do.
It's way too late for the Galaxy to start laying down the law to Beckham, when leaning over backward has been its almost permanent posture for the past two years as they have granted David his every wish. The only thing the Americans can hope for now is to force a satisfactory financial settlement out of Milan and from Beckham and his clan.
I haven't mentioned the soccer. We've all stopped talking about Beckham's wonderful crosses and his diabolical free kicks -- because they've ceased to be part of the circus. Maybe they were only ever a sideshow, anyway. Publicity was what was wanted. By that measure, this ongoing tug-of-war with Milan might even be pleasing to MLS and the Galaxy. Keeps the league and the club in the news, after all -- and during the offseason.
We're surely headed for one of those saccharine endings where everyone thanks everyone else for being so nice and accommodating, and they talk about "moving on." A curtain is quickly drawn to conceal that fact that someone has been quietly, but right royally, screwed. That will be MLS and the Galaxy. Maybe they really did expect that the Beckham-Galaxy pairing was going to be a heavenly marriage. What they got was a hell of a mess.

The Canisius College women's soccer team dropped the final regular season road contest of the year on Wednesday to Siena (8-6-1, 4-2-1 MAAC), by a score of 2-0.
The Saints netted the eventual game-winning goal in the 41st minute. Midfielder Ali Lewis found the ball on her foot deep in the box after a pair of quick passes from Andrea Pereira and Matar Rahamim. Lewis took an uncontested shot into the lower left side of the net to make the game 1-0.
Siena then added an insurance goal in the 71st minute after Maria Jones sent a through ball from 12 yards out. Forward Brittany Pfaff was able to take the pass and beat Griffs' senior goalkeeper Megan Tock for the game's second goal.
Tock had nine saves in the contest. It's the sixth time this season that Tock has recorded eight or more saves.
The Griffs were out-shot in 21-10 in the game.
Canisius will return home to take on Quinnipiac on Saturday. Start time for that contest is 7:30 p.m.
Game Notes: Canisius has two remaining regular season games, both are at home where the Griffs are 3-5-0 this season… Tock entered the contest tied for eighth nationally in total saves… The Griffs have only played their next opponent Quinnipiac twice prior in school history… The Griffs have a 0-1-1 record all-time against Quinnipiac and the programs played to a 2-2 draw when they met in 2011.

Hi Folks,
I am looking for help please , I have done the usual searches and found the thread I was looking for...... but the problem I am having is, finding all the Parts to make the Metal Gauntlet outlets that the hose's attach to because parts are a nightmare to find in the UK as no one seems to stock them or know what i am on about :( :angry .
Is there someone out there that can help ??? this is the only thing stopping me completing my Gauntlets.
I would prefer just to buy them all in one from someone if anyone has access to these parts and are willing to sell me a set then please contact me, I am going for the ROTJ gauntlets so TDH is my only source of help.
Thanks in advance of any replies.

In this fifth edition of Cities of Opportunity, PwC and the Partnership for New York City again examine the current social and economic performance of the world's leading cities. We also add a future dimension that probes the shape of city economies to come.
Together, looking at 2012 results and ahead toward the possibilities in 2025, we seek to provide a realistic framework for thought and action beginning with 27 of the world's most significant cities—on one hand, the engine of the modern global economy and on the other, the heart of much of our shared culture.
This year, New York and London finish in a virtual tie to lead overall scoring. However, emerging cities are narrowing the gap within key economic indicators. Both Shanghai and Beijing finish in the Top 5 in City Gateway and Economic Clout, with Beijing leading the latter category.
While New York officially edges out London by one point across 10 economic indicators, the city wins in no individual category. Toronto, which finishes third, also shows great balance yet wins no category. London, however, takes the lead in city gateway, an indicator introduced this year that measures global interconnectedness and international attraction. Rounding out the leaders are Paris, which advances four spots from 2011 to number four, and Stockholm at number five.

Units: 3
Law and Lawyering in the Nation's Capital is the 3-unit graded seminar course that accompanies the full-time, semester-long field placements as part of the UCDC Law Program. The UCDC Law Program combines a weekly seminar with the placement to offer law students an unparalleled opportunity to learn how federal statutes, regulations, and policies are made, changed and understood in the nation's capital.
The weekly 3-hour seminar is designed to explore the role of the federal government lawyer. Through a series of guest lecturers the seminar will help students learn about the process of federal lawmaking. We will also investigate the unique role lawyers in Washington DC play in affecting, making and changing federal law and policy. The seminar also provides a setting for reflection through weekly rounds and student presentations about their placements, to better connect learning in the seminar and in the field.
The UCDC Law Program includes law students from Berkeley, UCLA, UC Davis, and UC Irvine. Classes are held at the University of California Washington Center in Washington, DC.

So very tempted, as I LOVE our thermal carafe coffeemaker. However, our is a grind and brew... whole beans in, yummy fresh coffee out.
Can't go back to grinding the beans myself in the morning.. I can't! And you won't make me!
What timing, woot! My coffee maker has been quickly deteriorating over the past couple of weeks, but I suppose that's to be expected after 7 years of daily use. Hopefully this one lasts as long.
pfajardo19 wrote:Anybody know the wattage on this bad boy? Need at least 1,000 watts or more or my coffee won't get even close to the 203-206 optimal brew/extraction temperature. Probably doesn't matter given the slew of negative reviews on Amazon.com. AND I read the reviews and many have to do with of electrical problems, pumps not working, etc. issues thoroughly unrelated to faulty lid. Look at the the number of good/excellent reviews (10) verses bad reviews (31). Not a math major and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn, but methinks a ratio of 3:1 of bad to good reviews is far from a ringing endorsement. Gonna pass like Steve Young to Jerry Rice! Do not pass go, do not collect $100!
I just looked on Amazon and there are no bad reviews at all. Where did you see bad reviews?
Doesn't say anything about the temperature and wattage (brew time), so I'm guessing it's another piece of crap coffee maker like most on the market. Spend the money and get a Technivorm or just use a pour over. And while you're at it, start roasting your own beans.
My previous coffee maker, a Braun, said a "cup" was made with 4.5 ounces of water. You get less in the pot, as some remains with the grounds.
For a drip coffe maker this thing makes real good coffee. Has definitely changed me thought on auto-drips.

I agree, love my Technivorm Moccamaster. More expensive than most, but well worth it.
osculant wrote:Being able to set your coffee maker to brew at a certain time is great...if you don't care that your already ground beans will lose a lot of their flavor overnight. Much better to buy a coffee maker with a grinder built in to maximize freshness. Or better yet buy a burr coffee grinder and an Aeropress (or regular french press if you prefer) and take a few minutes out of your morning to make a truly superior cup of coffee.
I prefer the pour over method of manual brewing a single cup of coffee. It's my way of being a coffee snob. I thank my local barista for turning me into this monster.
Anybody find the model number for this?
Grind and brew? Have you read the reviews for those? Worse than this. They clog up.
im using this 1 cup at a time old pos mr coffee thing... wife and i were just talking about getting a new coffee maker. anything else out there in this price range looks like cheap shiat.
just worried about charcoal replacement carts... hope they wont be difficult to come by.
in for 1
problems are fixed. in for 1.
Here are the bad reviews. That's why I asked the model Number. Woot seems to be hiding that.
The reviews on that link also are complaining about the electronics. That scares me.
Amazon has bad reviews on model WPTPCM010,
but good reviews on model WPTPCM012.
Woot what model is the the one you are selling?

there is a link to the manual on woot's site:
so Woot is selling the model WPTPCM010 that has the bad reviews concerning the electrical problems... The updated lid won't fix that.
Someone asked what Mr Puck had to do with coffee makers. I don't know, but if you look at the product manual link, there are some pretty awesome recipes along with the manual.
Bummer...I bought the Capresso coffee maker a month ago...$20 more. No complaints about the quality of the Capresso, though. I'm now a convert to the double-wall carafes without burner...much better on the stomach to not drink hour+ old, burnt coffee.
coachbob47 wrote:so Woot is selling the model WPTPCM010 that has the bad reviews concerning the electrical problems... The updated lid won't fix that.
yeah, possibly... for $50 i'll take a chance on it. i need a new coffee maker anyway.
lstaff wrote:If you preheat the carafe with really hot water first it should keep the coffee hotter and for much longer.
Seconded. I also had this coffee maker when it was sold by Starbucks. Put hot water in the carafe before doing the rest of the setup to preheat it. Your coffee will stay warm for 5 or 6 hours without "cooking" like the pots with warmers.
A word of warning though. Leave the lid off of the carafe while preheating so that you remember to pour out the hot water before actually making the coffee. If you don't the results are bad. Guess how I know? :-)
timmera wrote:Can this be used with paper filters, or do you have to use the permanent filter?
I seem to recall that there was something about the way the bottom of the basket was shaped, or there was something that protruded into the bottom of the basket that made paper filters a bad idea. Anyone still have this machine that can comment?
I brought mine into the office and we made two to three pots a day. It lasted two and a half years before it got damaged in an office move.
bnbsouthworth wrote:Does it actually make 12x8oz cups, or some other "unique standard" like Cuisinart does? Their "cup" is only *five* ounces to everyone else's *eight*, so a Cuisinart 12-cup maker only yields 60 ounces instead of 96.
I would assume a cup is a cup, but I learned the hard way you can't make that assumption. Does anyone know this carafe's actual capacity?
When it comes to coffee you can't assume that "cup" means the 8 oz. liquid measure. "Cup" in the coffee community is a different notion. For example, consider the long-running thread (http://amzn.to/GP2dkm) that discusses the "Bialetti 6-Cup Stovetop Espresso Maker" -- some reviewers complained about this "6-cup" maker not producing 6x8oz. and got explanations like this:
"Actually, if you read the product feature for the 6-cup bialetti percolator, it says it makes 6 2-oz espresso cups. So the 6 cup bialetti percolator makes 12 ounces of coffee, and the 3 cup bialetti makes 6 ounces of coffee, which is 3/4 of a Cup. Thus, the 6 cup bialetti makes 1 1/2 cup. (1 cup=8 oz)"
That was for espresso. For 'standard' coffee a "cup" is larger than 2 oz., but not the full 8 oz. that one might "assume" based on the cooking sense of the word.

yeah for some reason I thought or pots and pans were made by Wolfgang Puck but it's Paula dean! I guess they kinda look alike!

That's the best thing i've ever seen!
You can *ALWAYS* use a paper filter with a permanent metal filter. The advantage is that there are substances in brewed coffee that may raise health risks that get removed by the paper filter. It also makes cleanup easier.the downside is the nominal cost and adding to the waste stream. Also, don't buy the expensive shaped ones, just fold a regular one! Good luck! Enjoy your coffee!
Is the water heated in plastic or stainless steel?
Is the heating element, that contacts the water, stainless steel or aluminum?
i have a fairly new cuisinart from Costco that gets good reviews and seems to make decent, strong coffee. So the obvious question is how does this compare? Since I bought the other unit at Costco I can return it no questions!!! We drink alot of coffee...
Using a 10 or 15 year old Krups thermal carafe drip maker with an amazing will to live. Use daily. Auto timer still works even. Every day I wonder when it will stop working. Makes pretty good coffee but no charcoal filter or reusable basket filter.
No reason to buy this, but still tempted to get it as a back up for when the current one breaks and because it is so new and shiny. Like the removable reservior (would not have to keep a measuring cup out on counter to fill it up). Something tells me this thing must be inferior if it has so many identified problems right out of the gate (lids, electronics).
How does Woot make these things seem so appealing?
Would I throw $50 into the grand canyon? No. Would I consider purchasing an iffy coffeemaker for $50 when I don't even need one? Well apparently I might.
jseureau wrote:Our knifes and our pots and pans are made by Wolfgang Puck and the quality is Awesome! So I'm sure this is just as good.
this is a perfect example of faulty logic
I haven't bought yet but can say the referenced manual says use either paper or the permanent one that comes with it. Actual experience anyone?
[quote postid="4927309" user="buck2202"]I think most companies actually measure their carafes in non-standard increments...not just Cuisinart.
Check out other coffee makers, espresso pushers, etc. Some cups are 1.8, some 2, some 2.5, some 3 oz per cup. I have a Bialetti "6 cup" that makes one decent regular size cup of coffee.
I was thrilled to see WP re-make the old Starbucks Barista. We had the old Starbucks model for years. It made the BEST tasting coffee of any "home" model we tried. We loved it so much that when it broke after many years of use, I purchased another on ebay. When that quit working, my husband took them apart and made a single unit from the two LOL! It worked great, but we were a little nervous about it. Relatives purchased the new WP model for us for Christmas. I have ordered one here on Woot for ourselves (as a back-up) and one for my parents (who absolutely love the coffee these make). I have had NO trouble with the WP model although I had problems for a while with the Starbucks model. Eventually the Starbucks behaved - weird, I know. If you are a coffee freak like us, you will love the coffee this makes. If you are a weekend coffee drinker, you won't see the beauty of this one.
In for one, and one 3-year square trade warranty for $8.49...

Oh, so you are the one who wrote the review about it leaking all over the counter....lol. Operator Error! It happens.
But...I do prefill the carafe with hot water and have also failed to pour it our before making the coffee. And here I thought I'd have a nice hot cup of coffee waiting for me when I got out of the shower but I got another suprise instead. ;-(
frogshavemorefun wrote:We have had coffee leak on the counter only due to our own negligence of not using it correctly. It's sort of like when you don't close the freezer door all the way and your food thaws out. It's called "operator error".
There was a design flaw and the added top included with this one addresses that flaw.

Apparently no Texas air this time around - items are being drop shipped from Vernon, CA - which means I get mine tomorrow morning. MMm, extra morning coffee! (Gotta remember to BRING some coffee tomorrow morning too..)

Wolfgang Puck 12-Cup Coffee Maker has completely shipped via FEDEX SMART POST. All tracking has already been emailed out. You can also find your tracking number by following this link and use your ORDER NUMBER as the reference number.
Just got mine and opened the box. Even though there is a very lovely letter from Woot telling me all about the additional non-leaky lid, there is only one lid in the box. I'm *hoping* this is the new and improved lid, but did anyone else receive 2 lids?

Lady Antebellum
The group formed when Scott met Kelley and Haywood in Nashville, and after a few months of performing around the area, they signed with Capitol Nashville in 2007. Lady Antebellum's first single, "Love Don't Live Here," peaked at number three on the country charts. A self-titled debut album followed in April 2008, featuring production from Victoria Shaw and Paul Worley and stocked with more country hits (including the chart-topping single "I Run to You," which also enjoyed crossover success as a Top 40 pop hit).
Within a year and a half, Lady Antebellum's debut had gone platinum and earned a Grammy nomination, and the band enjoyed its newfound success while putting the finishing touches on a second album. Need You Now appeared in early 2010, and its leadoff single -- "Need You Now" -- became the group's highest-charting song to date, topping the country charts and peaking at number two on the Billboard Hot 100. It eventually sold over three million copies. The album experienced similar success, going gold during its second week of release and reaching platinum status soon after. By early 2011, Need You Now had sold more than three million copies in America alone, and the band took a break from recording a third studio album in order to attend the Grammys, where Lady Antebellum took home five awards.
Lady Antebellum's third studio album, 2011's Own the Night, for which the group wrote ten of the 12 tracks, as well as co-producing the project with Worley, generated a hot single on the country chart right out of the box, "Just a Kiss," which became the trio's fastest-rising single yet and crossed over, topping Billboard's adult contemporary chart. The next single, "Dancin' Away with My Heart," reached number two on Billboard's country chart. Lady Antebellum next released the holiday album On This Winter's Night in the fall of 2012; the record entered the Billboard Top Ten upon its release and was certified gold in the U.S.
In May of 2013, Lady Antebellum released Golden, their fourth full-length studio album. Preceded by the hit single "Downtown," Golden entered the Billboard charts at number one, but its second single, "Goodbye Town," underperformed. The album was revived by a deluxe edition released in November of 2013, thanks to the inclusion of the single "Compass." Written by the pop-making machine Stargate, "Compass" became a Top Ten country single in early 2014. The trio quickly followed Golden with 747 in the fall of 2014; helmed by Nathan Chapman, it was their first record not produced by Paul Worley. "Bartender," the record's first single, became a Top Ten country single prior to the album's release. 747 produced two other modest hits -- "Freestyle" and "Long Stretch of Love," which appeared in 2015 -- before ending its album cycle. Lady Antebellum took a hiatus in 2016, with Charles Kelley and Hillary Scott both pursuing solo projects, and then returned in the summer of 2017 with the soft and mellow Heart Break, which was preceded by the single "You Look So Good." ~ James Christopher Monger & Andrew Leahey

Anti-inflammatory medications
Anti-inflammatory medications that decrease intestinal inflammation are analogous to arthritis medications that decrease joint inflammation. Different types of anti-inflammatory medications used in the treatment of Crohn's disease are:
- 5 aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) compounds such as sulfasalazine (Azulfidine) and mesalamine (Pentasa, Asacol, Dipentum, Colazal, Rowasa enema, Canasa suppository) that act via direct contact (topically) with the inflamed tissue in order to be effective.
- Corticosteroids that act systemically (without the need for direct contact with the inflamed tissue) to decrease inflammation throughout the body. Systemic corticosteroids have important and predictable side effects if used long-term.
- A new class of topical corticosteroid (for example, budesonide [Entocort EC]) that acts via direct contact (topically) with the inflamed tissue. This class of corticosteroids has fewer side effects than systemic corticosteroids which are absorbed into the body.
- Antibiotics such as metronidazole (Flagyl) and ciprofloxacin (Cipro) that decrease inflammation by an unknown mechanism
5-ASA (mesalamine) oral medications
5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA), also called mesalamine, is similar chemically to aspirin. Aspirin is an anti-inflammatory drug that has been used for many years for treating arthritis, bursitis, and tendonitis (conditions of tissue inflammation). Aspirin, however, is not effective in treating Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis and may even worsen the inflammation. Recent studies suggest that aspirin might actually decrease future risk of developing colorectal cancer in the general population.
On the other hand, 5-ASA can be effective in treating Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis if the drug can be delivered topically onto the inflamed intestinal lining. For example, mesalamine (Rowasa) is an enema containing 5-ASA that is effective in treating inflammation in the rectum. However, the enema solution cannot reach high enough to treat inflammation in the upper colon and the small intestine. Therefore, for most patients with Crohn's disease involving both the ileum (distal small intestine) and colon, 5-ASA must be taken orally.
If pure 5-ASA is taken orally, however, most of the 5-ASA would be absorbed in the stomach and the upper small intestine, and very little 5-ASA would reach the ileum and colon. To be effective as an oral agent in treating Crohn's disease, 5-ASA has to be modified chemically to escape absorption by the stomach and the upper intestines.
Sulfasalazine (Azulfidine)
Sulfasalazine (Azulfidine) was the first modified 5-ASA compound used in the treatment of Crohn's colitis and ulcerative colitis. It has been used successfully for many years to induce remissions among patients with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis. Sulfasalazine also has been used for prolonged periods for maintaining remissions.
Sulfasalazine consists of a 5-ASA molecule linked chemically to a sulfapyridine molecule. (Sulfapyridine is a sulfa antibiotic.) Connecting the two molecules together prevents absorption by the stomach and the upper intestines. When sulfasalazine reaches the ileum and the colon, the bacteria that normally are present in the ileum and colon break the link between the two molecules. After breaking away from 5-ASA, sulfapyridine is absorbed into the body and later eliminated in the urine. Most of the active 5-ASA, however, is available within the terminal ileum and colon to treat the colitis.
Most of the side effects of sulfasalazine are due to the sulfapyridine molecule. These side effects include nausea, heartburn, headache, anemia, skin rashes, and, in rare instances, hepatitis and kidney inflammation. In men, sulfasalazine can reduce the sperm count. The reduction in sperm count is reversible, and the count usually becomes normal after the sulfasalazine is discontinued or changed to a different 5- ASA compound.
Because the newer 5-ASA compounds, for example, mesalamine (Asacol and Pentasa), do not have the sulfapyridine component and have fewer side effects than sulfasalazine, they are being used more frequently for treating Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Asacol is a tablet consisting of the 5-ASA compound surrounded by an acrylic resin coating. Asacol is sulfa-free. The resin coating prevents the 5-ASA from being absorbed as it passes through the stomach and the small intestine. When the tablet reaches the terminal ileum and the colon, the resin coating dissolves, and the active 5-ASA drug is released.
Asacol is effective in inducing remissions in patients with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis. It also is effective when used in the longer term to maintain remissions. Some studies have shown that Asacol also is effective in treating Crohn's ileitis and ileo-colitis, as well as in maintaining remission in patients with Crohn's disease.
The recommended dose of Asacol for inducing remissions is two 400 mg tablets three times daily (a total of 2.4 grams a day). At least two tablets of Asacol twice daily (1.6 grams a day) is recommended for maintaining remission. Occasionally, the maintenance dose is higher.
As with Azulfidine, the benefits of Asacol are dose-related. If patients do not respond to 2.4 grams a day of Asacol, the dose frequently is increased to 3.6 - 4.8 grams a day to induce remission. If patients fail to respond to the higher doses of Asacol, then other alternatives such as corticosteroids are considered.
Pentasa is a capsule consisting of small spheres containing 5-ASA. Pentasa is sulfa-free. As the capsule travels down the intestines, the 5-ASA inside the spheres is released slowly into the intestine. Unlike Asacol, the active drug 5-ASA in Pentasa is released into the small intestine as well as the colon. Therefore, Pentasa can be effective in treating inflammation in the small intestine and is currently the most commonly used 5-ASA compound for treating mild to moderate Crohn's disease in the small intestine.
Patients with Crohn's disease occasionally undergo surgery to relieve small intestinal obstruction, drain abscesses, or remove fistulae. Usually, the diseased portions of the intestines are removed during surgery. After successful surgery, patients can be free of disease and symptoms (in remission) for a while. In many patients, however, Crohn's disease eventually returns. Pentasa helps maintain remissions and reduces the chances of the recurrence of Crohn's disease after surgery.
In the treatment of Crohn's ileitis or ileocolitis, the dose of Pentasa usually is four 250 mg capsules four times daily (a total of 4 grams a day). For maintenance of remission in patients after surgery, the dose of Pentasa is between 3-4 grams daily.
Olsalazine (Dipentum)
Olsalazine (Dipentum) is a capsule filled with a drug in which two molecules of 5-ASA are joined together by a chemical bond. In this form, the 5-ASA cannot be absorbed from the stomach and intestine. Intestinal bacteria are able to break apart the two molecules releasing the active individual 5-ASA molecules into the intestine. Since intestinal bacteria are more abundant in the ileum and colon, most of the active 5-ASA is released in these areas. Therefore, olsalazine is most effective for disease that is limited to the ileum or colon. Although clinical studies have shown that olsalazine is effective for maintenance of remission in ulcerative colitis, some patients experience diarrhea when taking olsalazine. Because of this, olsalazine is not often used. The recommended dose of olsalazine is 500 mg twice a day.
Balsalazide (Colazal)
Balsalazide (Colazal) is a capsule in which the 5-ASA is linked by a chemical bond to another molecule that is inert (without effect on the intestine) and prevents the 5-ASA from being absorbed. This drug is able to travel through the intestine unchanged until it reaches the end of the small bowel (terminal ileum) and colon. There, intestinal bacteria split the 5-ASA and the inert molecule releasing the 5-ASA. Because intestinal bacteria are most abundant in the terminal ileum and colon, balsalazide is used to treat inflammation predominantly localized to the colon.
Side effects of oral 5-ASA compounds
The 5-ASA compounds have fewer side effects than Azulfidine and also do not reduce sperm counts. They are safe medications for long-term use and are well-tolerated.
Patients allergic to aspirin should avoid 5-ASA compounds because they are similar chemically to aspirin.
Rarely, kidney and lung inflammation has been reported with the use of 5-ASA compounds. Therefore, 5-ASA should be used with caution in patients with kidney disease. It also is recommended that blood tests of kidney function be done before starting and periodically during treatment.
Rare instances of worsening of diarrhea, cramps, and abdominal pain, at times accompanied by fever, rash, and malaise, may occur. This reaction is believed to represent an allergy to the 5-ASA compound.
