Brake Rotors
What are Brake Rotors and where are they Located?
Brake rotors, also commonly referred to as brake discs, are major components in a disc brake system. A disc brake system consists of brake calipers, pads, and rotors. The rotors bolt onto the wheel hubs or axles, and spin at the same rate as the wheels. When you press the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure is transmitted to the caliper, which acts as a clamping device pressing the brake pads against each side of the rotor. The friction that this creates is what allows the vehicle to slow to a stop. In a nutshell, your vehicle's brakes convert kinetic energy to thermal energy.
Most cars and trucks today have four brake discs, one for each wheel in the front of the vehicle and one for each wheel in the rear of the vehicle. However, a lot of vehicles have rear drums instead of brake discs. In this case, the vehicle will have two front brake rotors and two rear brake drums.
Types of Brake Rotors
The vast majority of automotive brake rotors are made from cast iron; however there are many different variations in the design and appearance. Let's go over the most common types of brake discs used in today's cars and trucks.
The term "solid rotor" refers to a disc that has no vents. This type of brake rotor was the standard for many years, and can still be found on some vehicles today (although more often as a rear brake rotor). The downside to this rotor is its inability to dissipate the heat created from the braking process efficiently. Heat is the enemy of proper braking, as excessive heat can cause the brake pads to lose their friction capability, resulting in brake fade.
Vented brake discs were developed to combat this issue; these brake rotors have cooling fins placed in between the two sides of the disc. These fins allow for air to flow through the disc aiding in the cooling process, resulting in reduced brake fade and better heat dissipation. Vented discs are now widely used, and are the most common type of brake rotor found in the front of modern vehicles.
Inspired by racing and high performance, the evolution of brake rotor technology has produced drilled rotors and slotted rotors. Some vehicles do come from the factory with drilled brake rotors. Both versions have the added benefit of increased heat dissipation, as well as allow for water and gasses to escape from between the brake pads and the rotor surface, although both are not without their flaws.
Drilled brake rotors have a series of holes drilled through the rotor surface. This means there is actually less surface material for the brake pad to grab. Drilled rotors can also be prone to cracking since they are inherently weaker than a brake rotor with a solid face. Slotted brake rotors are also known to wear brake pads down much more quickly than other rotor types as the slots tend to shave the brake pad surface. Another downside to each of these types of brake rotors is mud and dirt can actually become lodged inside the slots or holes. For these reasons they are not recommended for use in off-road applications.
Hub and Brake Rotor Assemblies
At one time, the majority of cars and trucks had the wheel hub and brake disc incorporated together. This type of rotor can still be found today, specifically on two wheel drive pickup trucks and vans. When replacing this style of brake rotor, the wheel bearings must be removed from the original brake rotors and pressed into the new ones.
Many vehicles today with rear disc brakes use emergency or parking brake shoes. The brake rotor in these applications is a rotor / drum combination.
How do I Know if my Brake Rotors Need to be Replaced?
Brake rotors can be resurfaced, or machined as long as there is enough material to do so. All brake rotors have a discard thickness determined by the manufacturer, which is the thinnest a rotor can be machined to before they are deemed unsafe and must be replaced (this information is often stamped into the edge or the rotor itself). It is recommended to measure the thickness every time you inspect the brakes or replace the brake pads, as well as to regularly inspect the brake rotor for any signs of cracking, rust, corrosion or uneven disc surface. Pedal pulsation is caused by thickness variations of the disc; this is often the result of brake pad friction material adhering to the surface of the rotor. At one time it was very common to resurface brake rotors, however today it is often more cost effective to replace the rotors rather than machining them.
Need a Brake Rotor Replacement?
Having properly functioning brakes on your car or truck is an absolute must for your own safety as well as for the safety of others. Since brake rotors are an important component of a vehicle's disc brake system, if they have become warped or worn out, or have failed for any reason, then replacement brake rotors are needed ASAP; your vehicle is a hazard on wheels until they are replaced. At 1A Auto, we stock a full line of high quality, aftermarket replacement brake rotors to fit your vehicle. Our aftermarket brake discs are new, not used, and are built to strict quality standards.

|(view) (annotate)
|Sticky Tag:
Merge from unicode-utf16 branch, label unicode-utf16-char-support-2009-03-25 to get character support.
Add (INHIBIT-WARNINGS 3) to various bits of double-double float code. I checked the notes and they all have to do with either boxing or generic operations (usually from FLOOR). This greatly reduces the amount of noise in the compilation logs.
o Inhibit warnings for POLY-EVAL and POLY-EVAL-1. o Add some declarations in various places to get rid of some warnings. o Rearrange DD-%ASIN to get rid of some warnings. o Declare the type of DD-%SIN, DD-%COS, and DD-%TAN because cmucl doesn't compute the correct return type.
Oops. Remove extra paren.
compiler/float-tran.lisp: o Handle signed-zeroes for addition, subtraction, and multiplication of double-double floats. That is, return the correct signed zero for the result. o Try to handle overflow in addition, multiplication, and division by returning infinity, if the overflow or divide-by-zero trap is disabled. This is done by looking to see what the corresponding double-float operation would return. This probably needs more work. code/irrat-dd.lisp: o Remove the careful-mul stuff from dd-complex-atanh since we handle signed zeroes better now during double-double multiplication.
Make DD-%SIN and DD-%TAN return -0w0 when the argument is -0w0.
Revert the previous change to DD-COMPLEX-ATANH. If z < -1, just call DD-COMPLEX-ATANH with -0w0 to get the correct value.
o Remove some unused constants o Fix a typo in a docstring. o Fix DD-COMPLEX-ASIN again: - The previous fix for asin(-2) being wrong actually broke the case for asin(2). Revert that. - The issue was that in our explicitly handling of the atan(y/0) case we didn't take into account the sign y and 0. Fix that.
o Make DD-%ATAN2 handle signed zeroes. This is needed to get branch cuts right for some special functions. o DD-COMPLEX-ATANH needs to be careful about producing signed zeroes in the right spots. Add a CAREFUL-MUL to make sure a zero of the correct sign is produced when needed. (What other places need such care?)
DD-COMPLEX-ATANH was returning the wrong value for real z and z > 1. It was saying atanh(-2) = .549 - i*pi/2. The correct answer is .549 + i*pi/2.
DD-COMPLEX-ASIN was returning the wrong value for real z and z < -1. It was saying asin(-2) = pi/2+i*1.317. The correct answer is -pi/2+i*1.317.
dd-%expm1 was computing the wrong values. Fix it so that it works. Only a few spot checks were done, but it seems to be working fine.
Oops. The argument reduction routine doesn't like negative numbers, so make dd-%sin, dd-%cos, dd-%tan handle that.
Implement accurate arg reduction for the trig functions sin, cos, tan, using __kernel_rem_pio2. Use the accurate reduction in dd-%sin, dd-%cos, dd-%tan. The original version were renamed dd-%%sin, dd-%%cos, dd-%%tan because we still need them to evaluate the functions for small args. This also has the side effect that we don't signal overflow for moderately large args (~1w50) anymore.
Oops. Use 0d0 instead of 0w0 when creating a double-double-float in dd-cssqs.
compiler/float-tran.lisp: o Change the following functions to be maybe-inline instead of inline so we don't inline them by default unless the user says so by specifying (SPACE 0): ADD-DD, MUL-DD-D, MUL-DD, ADD-DD-D, SQR-DD, DIV-DD, DIV-DD-D, SQRT-DD code/irrat-dd.lisp: o Set (SPACE 0) for these functions so we inline the operations. (Should we really inline all of these?)
This large checkin merges the double-double float support to HEAD. The merge is from the tag "double-double-irrat-end". The double-double branch is now obsolete. The code should build without double-double support (tested on sparc) as well as build with double-double support (tested also on sparc).
file irrat-dd.lisp was initially added on branch double-double-array-branch.

Comments On Feb 19, 2013:I use this little thing all the time when I am working street bikes!! Whenever you are changing the plugs on the bikes you always need to make sure you have the correct gap and with this you know what it is instead of having to use that little slide disc thing. This is so much better than that! I recommend it to anyone working on their own bikes!

Alexander Grischuk won his second World Blitz Championship on Tuesday in Astana, Kazakhstan. Six years after his first title, won in in Rishon Lezion, Israel the Russian grandmaster finished clear first in Astana. Just like in the Rapid World Championship, Magnus Carlsen of Norway finished second. The third place went to the winner of the rapid event: Sergey Karjakin of Russia.

Even though it wasn't his first world blitz title, Alexander "Sacha" Grischuk was quite surprised that he actually won it in Astana. The reason? He was not in his best physical shape. Probably suffering from a flu, after the first day Grischuk declined an interview before our camera because of a sore throat. Just after the tournament finished, we did have a brief interview. "Somehow I started to score points and score points..."
Grischuk already started with a lead, as we know from our previous report: at half time he was a point ahead of Dmitry Andreikin, Vassily Ivanchuk and Sergey Karjakin. Magnus Carlsen was one more point behind.
Of these players only Karjakin won in the 16th round and so he came half a point closer to Grischuk. Ivanchuk fell back a bit; he lost to Gelfand and then to Andreikin.
Le Quang Liem had a much better second day. In fact over rounds 16-30 the Vietnamese player finished shared second with 9.5/15, the same score as Morozevich and Grischuk. In round 17 he defeated the eventual winner convincingly:
Magnus Carlsen again needed some rounds to warm up. His score over rounds 16-22 wasn't good: just 3/7. This included losses with White against Mamedyarov, Morozevich and Svidler.
However, when the Norwegian motor was finally running, it didn't stop. Carlsen finished with an amazing 8/8 which got him in fact the best score of the second day: 11.0/15. Grischuk's 9.5 was just half a point enough to finish ahead.

Carlsen won all three games against Sergey Karjakin. The last of these encounters was the most convincing:
After 17 rounds everything was possible, as Andreikin, Grischuk and Karjakin were all on 11 points, followed by Carlsen on 10. Grischuk then immediately regained clear first place in the standings by beating his compatriot Morozevich with Black.
Dmitry Andreikin kept on doing excellent, and after 21 rounds he caught Grischuk again; both were on 13.5 points. Topalov didn't have a chance.
In the same round, Grischuk and Karjakin drew their game.
Then one of the crucial games of the tournament followed. Andreikin went for exactly the same ending has Le Quang Liem had done the day before, and again Grischuk outplayed his opponent with the black pieces. Instructive stuff for KID players!

Here's another win by the winner from the 27th round.
We'll return to Carlsen once more, because one of his victims during his 8/8 streak was the eventual winner.
The following game needs some explanation, because Carlsen starting his game against Radjabov with 1.a4 had a little history. During the previous World Blitz Championship, in Moscow, November 2010, Radjabov had said to Carlsen:
Everyone is getting tired. You might as well start with 1.a4 and you can still beat them.
And so it was little inside joke (and a successful one):

It is'nt surprising. While it might be a different turf for everybody else, Grishchuk was playing like he does in classical chess, making his last 15 moves in 2 minutes :)
My congratulation to Grishuk for winning the tourneo, and to Carlsen for winning the exhibition.
You are paraphrasing some quote about Tal or Fischer but I can't remember it properly. Care to enlighten me?
Quote taken from Chessgames.com USA CH 1963-4 collection : ´...Fischer when he shut out his opponents 11-0 in the 1963-64 US Championship. Quoting "My 60 Memorable Games", Dr. Kmoch congratuated Evans (the runner-up) on "winning" the tournament, then congratulated Fischer on "winning the exhibition"...´
PS unfortunately, stories of such dominance belong to (distant) past.

Great job by Grischuk! Everyone knows he is a favorite in these sorts of events; not really surprising he won. I found Carlsen's closing effort pretty impressive. He finished with 7 straight wins to finish a half a point out of first place, and ended up in sole second. Not bad considering his lackluster start.
It is hard to keep motivation and concentration while being +2-3 above the field , Magnus himself didn´t manage to do that (and in much shorter previous event) - I guess that explains Grish´s ´slow finish´ giving strongly finishing MC some chances in the end.
Actually Grischuk didn't even slow down in the end, it was Carlsen speeding up. Their scores per half-day:
Grischuk 5/7, 5.5/8, 4/7, 5.5/8
Carlsen 3.5/7, 5/8, 3/7, 8/8
Was the start of the rounds (15:00 local time) too early for Carlsen, or did he have a better condition than others particularly on the second day?
BTW another participant with a rather asymmetric score was Ivanchuk (3.5/7, 6/8, 2/7, 3.5/8) - I didn't check for everyone else ...
I haven't looked at every game, obviously, but there were certainly a lot of high placed players who increased their blunder frequency a lot today.
But not Grischuk, he was playing very confidently and well until he was defeated by Carlsen.
Still he managed to minimize the damage, congrats to him !
Well deserved he was in the lead the whole tourney.
Speaking of blunders: Did Ivanchuk-Carlsen (game 40) really finish like this? And if so, why was the result 0-1? It's hard to imagine how the last three half-moves could be a transmission error, though it's possible that the score is incomplete. If so, Ivanchuk lost both games against Carlsen, despite being a piece up in both games!!?

@Thomas: My hypothesis is that Ivanchuk first blundered horribly by picking up a protected Bishop with his Queen, and, then Carlsen counter blundered by not capturing the Queen. Ivanchuk made his next move automatically, but in disgust of his poor play resigned immediately though being a piece up.
Peter, when do you plan to upload videos? pl do it fast. Want to see fire on the board desperately.
I also thought about 19.Rxf6 being played, but then 21.Qe7 makes sense only if Carlsen recaptured with the pawn (which I missed when saying that a transmission error is hard to imagine).
hansie's explanation would be vintage Chucky - it might make more sense to offer a draw because Carlsen's reply was just as bad ... oh wait, draw offers weren't allowed.

Looking the final 5 games of Carlsen was awesome. He simply crushed his opponents. He started with 1:a4 against Radja! like sending a message to him. Grischuk was a lot better, but Magnus started Plan B. Move quickly, until his opponent ran out of time and made mistakes. His last game against Gelfand was very good, too.
...And, OFC, Bravo Sasha for becoming the Blitz World Champ =)
We have 3 crowns now, ´small´ ones in Russia, and the big one in India. Now that all three ´disciplines´ are rated, things are becoming quite interesting. I am looking forward to more events like this.
Breaking News:
Norways' Elo Rating Giant, Magnus Carlsen, plays second fiddle at the Rapid and Blitz World Championships.
Congrat's Sergie Karjakin & Alexander Grischuk!
Impressive show of Grischuk, but he seemed to be getting a little nervous with the title in sight.
Karjakin played very good as well but the tournament seemed a little too long for him. In general the quality of play was markedly lower in the last phase. Carlsen's endurance was very impressive in this respect, had the tournament been longer he might well have won.
Can't help but feel sorry for Andreikin btw he was in top 3 for so long.

QRealityCheck- LOL, as always you put Carlsen down. Second fiddle, so what? You won't even make it to an orchestre, ANY orchestre.
Why do Carlsen fans always make it personal?
Let reality have his fun, he is not telling lies and after all, a lot of people were proclaiming Carlsen champion before the start of the tournament already. Just read the comments on this site for proof.
But once again it was a carlsen hater who made the first comment. nobody was talking about carlsen and then there is that comment about second fiddle. And then complain that carlsen fans reply to that. Pretty pathetic
Carlsen did play 2nd fiddle, it's pathetic when you can't stand that and have to resort to personal attacks.
Whhoooa. Comparing Carlsen with Dudley-do-Right is by no means a "personal attack". Its not my fault his managers market him in this way. Have you read the open letter explaining their position on why Carlsen chickened out of the Candidates Match?
And, neither is saying he played SECOND FIDDLE at the FIDE Rapid & Blitz World Championship. As I'd mentioned earlier, you Carlsen fanboys can dish it out (criticism) but you can't take it. You lose.
@ giovlinn
Don"t be sore losers. Carlsen fans: you can dish it out but, you can't take it.
So here, a taste of your own medicine:
Karjakin First Trumpet. Carlsen Second Fiddle.
Grischuk Lead Guitar. Carlsen Second Fiddle.
Did you just say
"Karjakin First Trumpet. Carlsen Second Fiddle.
Grischuk Lead Guitar. Carlsen Second Fiddle." ?
I guess you succeeded in stating the obvious. I can't see anybody misgrudging them their victories. It's all well deserved. And you try to think in colorful shades of grey, rather than your ever boring usual black and white.
@ Anonynous
Another sore loser. Yes you are. I state the obvious for People like you---just in case you missed it. There's a big chance you got all caught up in the hype. You thought a 2830+ Rating was some kind of guarntee to win a tough Wch tournament like this. You're wrong. You think a 2830+ rating makes a better player than the World Champion. Wrong again.
But we (people who aren't that impressed with Dudley-Do-Right--Carlsen--since he backed out of the Wch qualifer) have to listen to your redundant exagerated praise of anything (draw win sneeze lose blunder) the guy does.
In 2010 Anand took second three tournaments in a row (Nanjing, Bilbao, London) and was ridiculed to no end by people just like you. Now what?
Listen buddy, I remember when movies were in black and white. And so was everything else.
I respect the elderly. Yikes, those were he times! :-)
1 year 9 months ago
Anand was ridiculed no end for finishing second? Hardly, isn't that the best he has finished the last five years in classical chess? In his last three tournaments he finished in the bottom half IIRC, and that's still no reason to ridicule him the way you try to ridicule Carlsen every time he is so humbled as to finish second with 2800+ performances. I wonder how it would sound if Carlsen once had scored like Anand in all those last three
Inventing a fictitious persona with actions or beliefs which are then criticized, implying that the person represents a group of whom the speaker is critical.
I wouldn't say Anand was ridiculed for his three second place finishes. However, I would point out several differences between the situation Anand was in and Carlsen's current situation:
1. Anand's second place finishes were in fact the best he had posted in years. Before Bilbao 2010, Anand had finished 4th in 4 classical events in a row, and 6th (dead last) in his last event before that (Bilbao 2008). Carlsen's second place finishes comes after winning the last two Amber rapids, winning the World Blitz in 2009, and finishing third in 2010. So we see that Anand's second place finishes were "good" for him, while Carlsen's were "bad."
2. Anand finished second behind Carlsen in all those events. Thus, it seems clear that Carlsen is the superior tournament player. Nobody here has finished ahead of Carlsen in more than one rapid/blitz event in the last three years. Carlsen can still claim to have the best rapid/blitz record of everyone here, even if he doesn't win every event.
Even the best can't win every event - and we saw that here. Carlsen came close to winning both events, but "only" finished second. Nobody expects him to win every event he participates in - being the best simply means winning more than anybody else. Anand, however, is not just failing to win every event - he's making us wonder if he can win *any* event.
"Even the best can't win every event - and we saw that here."- I didn't.
Grisch and Karjak are worthy and they proved to be better by winning when it mattered. And better games. 2 World champions!
Sigh... Grischuk and Karjakin have not won every event they participated in either. In fact, I don't believe either of them won a rapid or blitz event in the last five years prior to Astana.
That's your problem. Earlier this year for example Karjakin was first in the aeroflot blitz, and Grischuk was 2nd. That's the problem with the average Carlsen fan, they only watch their man and have no factual knowledge what so ever. But it doesn't stop them of making all kinds of statements and conclusions.
Sorry, I omitted the word "top," as in they hadn't won any *top* rapid/blitz events in at least five years. An event where 6/9 of Karjakin's opponents were rated below 2700 and 7/9 of Grischuk's were below 2700 isn't comparable to Amber or the World Blitz Championships.
If only Amber (how often were Karjakin and Grischuk invited?) and World Blitz Championships count, there are pretty few top events.
More importantly, Aeroflot blitz certainly wasn't weak: Karjakin also faced Andreikin (2688) and Dreev (2698), and several 2700ers finished far down the field: for example, Svidler and Nepomniachtchi were 27th and 28th, and Morozevich was 42nd.

DDF At-A-Glance
Strengths: Several good water-soluble cleansers; excellent Photo-Age sunscreens and every DDF sunscreen includes sufficient UVA-protecting ingredients; some truly state-of-the-art moisturizers and serums; a few good AHA and skin-lightening options; a good benzoyl peroxide topical disinfectant.
Weaknesses: Expensive; products designed for sensitive skin tend to contain one or more known problematic ingredients; several irritating products based on alcohol, menthol, or problematic plant extracts; more than a handful of average moisturizers, many in jar packaging.
This skin-care company's Web site has it right with the statement that "before the beauty world discovered dermatologic skincare brands, there was DDF." Launched in 1991, well before it became common practice for "known" dermatologists to create their own skin-care lines, pioneering dermatologist Dr. Howard Sobel began and is still behind this brand. This is a long-standing line that has the backing of a dermatologist (and later that of nutritional consultant Elaine Linker), so you would expect DDF to be just what the doctor ordered. In some respects, it is. However, more often than not, products from dermatologists are just as prone to outlandish claims, exorbitant prices, and use of unproven ingredients as products from any other cosmetics line. A founder's medical background isn't a guarantee that every product he or she creates will do exactly what it claims or even be sensibly formulated. In that sense, DDF falters more than it succeeds. Sobel's credibility for creating treatment-based skin-care products is diminished when inappropriate ingredients (alcohol, menthol, and others) are included in products positioned as prestige products with a medicinal slant. Still, there are some very impressive options available (particularly in the moisturizer and serum categories) that, price notwithstanding, are worthy of consideration.
The line's success has not gone unnoticed by larger companies eyeing the growing trend of anti-aging skin care and the popularity of niche lines. It will be interesting to see how things shake out for DDF now that it is owned by consumer product giant Procter & Gamble. P&G released a statement that they intend to "infuse the line with a steady stream of innovation", add marketing expertise, and level its global reach and go-to-market capability to drive future growth (Source: www.cosmeticsdesign.com). They certainly have the money and staff to accomplish these goals, but it's worth mentioning that P&G's Olay brand, although mass market and at a lower price point, features many products that rival the best of what DDF offers, and with far fewer missteps.
For more information about DDF, call 1-800-818-9770 or visit www.ddfskincare.com/.
Special Note:
As of Summer 2011, DDF launched a new website and reformulated many of their products, but their new site contains incorrect and incomplete ingredient lists for most of their products. We've alerted DDF to the issue and are continuing to research these changes in store. In the meantime, we urge anyone considering a DDF purchase based on our recommendation to double check the product's ingredient list against ours in case the product has been reformulated. We will update the brand as information becomes available to us.

NUMBER 23. ATLANTA, GEORGIA. DECEMBER, 1890, THE BULLETIN OF ATLANTA UNIVERSITY Issued monthly during term time from the University printing office. Entered at the Atlanta, Ga., post office as second class mail matter. Subscriptions at 50 cents a year may be sent to the treasurer of Atlanta University, Atlanta, Ga. Advertisements $1 an inch for first insertion, 50 cents each subsequent insertion. Atlanta University, Atlanta, Ga., has (650 students in College, Normal, College Preparatory, Grammar, and Primary departments, with practical instruction' in wood-working, iron-working, farming, printing, cooking, sewing, and nursing, under the care of 28 officers and instructors, in four large brick buildings, surrounded by HO acres of land within the corporate limits of Atlanta, the land, buildings, and outfit valued at a quarter of a million dollars; with 200 graduates from College and Normal courses nearly all of whom, together with many hundreds of past undergraduates, are engaged in teaching and other useful work in .Georgia and surrounding States. Having practically no endowment, the Instiiu-tion requires at least $18,000 a year in donations from its friends to continue the work now in hand, and a fund of about $250,000 to put that work on a permanent basis. Remittances of checks or money orders, or inquiries for further information, may be addressed to, Pres. HORACE BUMSTEAD, D. D., Atlanta, Ga. TRUSTEES OF A ATLANTA UNIVERSITY FOR ONE YEAR. Rev. C. L.

D.,......New Britain, Ct. Rev. L. B. Maxwell,.....................Savannah, Ga. OFFERINGS FOR 1891. This is the time when many churches, Sunday-schools, Christian Endeavor Societies, and individuals, are making their plans for benevolent giving during the coming year. To all such as may read these lines, we would earnestly commend the claims of Atlanta University. Many of you, dear friends, know well what these claims are, and, to those of you who do not, we shall be glad to send all required information. If six hundred organizations or individuals would each supply us with a forty dollar scholarship for a single student, we could close this year with all our expenses provided for, and our debt of $6,700 paid off. And if the same help could be assured for the future, we might be relieved of the greatest anxiety and burden that now besets our work, and that is the great task of annual money raising by the personal appeals of our President and other teachers, whose time and strength might be so much more profitably employed in the immediate work of the Institution in Atlanta. Reader, will you not regard this as a personal appeal to you ? Will not YOU as an individual, or through some Christian organization of which you are a member, secure the recognition of Atlanta University in the scheme of benevolences for 1891 ? Will you not make sure that one of our more than six hundred students is provided for by a forty dollar scholarship? ------------«------------ "COLOR BLIND." It is possible that an editorial utterance in the November number of the Bulletin may have conveyed an erroneous impression of our policy as to the co-education of the races. Atlanta Uni-vessity, as is well known, has always been open to all students, regardless of race. From the beginning, it has always had a few white students, chiefly the children of the teachers, enrolled with its hundreds of colored students. While it has never made any active efforts to bring about the co-education of the races, it has never made any such efforts to prevent it. Representatives of both races-have been welcome at its " open door," and representatives of both races have, in some instances, been refused admission or advised against attendance; but, whether received or not, it has been our purpose, and still is, to decide every case regardless of the race or color of the applicant. We should be as distinctly opposed to excluding white students from Atlanta University by " advice" or otherwise, simply because they were white, as we should be to the same " freezing out" process when perpetrated against "colored applicants for admission to institutions attended by white people. The cases referred to in our last issue were cited in connection with our effort to show that we had undertaken no active propaganda in behalf of the co-education of the races; for, if we had, we should have been likely to avail ourselves of every opportunity to admit a white student. The principle which governs us in this matter is that of laissez faire: There can be as much or as little of the co-education of the races in Atlanta University as is mutually agreeable to the individuals concerned, provided only that no one seeks to exclude another because he belongs to a different race. We mean to be " color blind," fearing neither to admit nor to exclude any students according to the circumstances of each case, aside from any consideration of the race represented. ------------•------------ THE FINAL DISPOSITION OF THE LAND SCRIP GRANT. Since our last issue the legislature of Georgia has passed with substantial unanimity, and the governor has signed, a bill establishing a Negro college which it is proposed to make the recipient of one-third of the United States land scrip grant. As was lucidly

Ileus is a type of non-mechanical bowel obstruction. It results when peristalsis stops. Peristalsis is the wavelike contractions that help push stool through the colon and small bowel.
Ileus may be caused by:
- Abdominal surgery
- Joint or spine surgery
- Injury or trauma
Infections, such as:
- Abdominal infections: peritonitis , appendicitis , and diverticulitis
- Pneumonia
- Severe generalized infections such as sepsis
- Heart attack
- Imbalance of electrolytes
- Disorders that affect muscle function
- Use of certain drugs, such as narcotic pain drugs or high blood pressure medication
- Low blood supply to parts of the intestine
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your risk of getting ileus include:
- Abdominal surgery, infection, or injury
- Joint or spine surgery
- A previous history of ileus
- Use of certain pain or high blood pressure drugs
Certain health conditions or diseases, such as:
- Lower lobe pneumonia
- Heart attack
Symptoms of ileus may include:
- Abdominal swelling
- Pain
- Vomiting
- Cramps
- Hiccups
- Inability to pass stool or gas
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Diagnosis of ileus is usually based on symptoms and testing.
Images may be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with:
The lining of your colon may need to be examined. This can be done with colonoscopy .
If ileus was caused by surgery, it will usually resolve within 48 to 72 hours. In other cases, the disease that caused the ileus needs to be treated. This may involve adjusting the dose of or stopping a medication, treating an infection, or replacing electrolytes.
Other treatments may be used to help ease symptoms. These may include:
Diet Limitation
Patients who suffer from ileus should not be fed until the ileus has resolved.
Nasogastric Suction (NG Tube)
A tube is inserted through the nose and into the stomach to remove digestive fluids. This will help relieve pain and bloating.
Intravenous Fluids and Electrolytes
Fluids and electrolytes are given by vein to avoid dehydration.
There are medications that increase peristalsis, such as neostigmine and tegaserod, that can be used in selected patients to help ileus resolve.
Colonoscopic Decompression
A flexible tube may be inserted into the colon to relieve pressure.
Rarely, surgery is required if there is a perforation or other abnormality causing the ileus.
Since ileus is generally the result of injury, surgery, or a medical condition, there is little that can be done to prevent it.

This push-up bra guarantees a perfect lift and shape. It's stay-put grip lining along wings and side boning for excellent support while wearing strapless.
This is the BEST bra I have ever bought. I have one breast a cup larger than other and this bra has been able to accommodate that problem. I have bought more expensive bras with terrible results. They also give good wear for there money. I bought a white, tan and black one 2 years ago. I am replacing the white and tan as they are curving a little at the top. I wear them often. The black is still in good condition. I wash them in the washing machine but never put in dryer.
For me, it's the best strapless bra that exists, I can wear it different ways and it's very comfortable. I would like for it to come in more colors & different prints.
I am an expert at buying bras, I try out new one but always come back to this bra.It's the best strapless, it doesn't move or go down in the back and pushes-up very well.

- Fold the wallet in half so the short sides line up. Note: Do this before taping the other side so that the wallet will fold without bulges.
- Keep the wallet in the folded position, trim any excess, and tape the other side.
- To make the pockets cut two 4 inch pieces of Duck® Tape and stick them together, sticky side to sticky side, making a Duck® Tape sheet. Note: Make sure to leave about ¼ inch of the sticky side of the tape exposed so it can stick to the wallet.
- Trim off the excess tape on the sides and stick the sheet in your wallet.
- Cut one piece of Duck Tape the same size as the piece that you used to seal the edges of the wallet. Place that piece of Duck Tape over the edge of the packet and wrap it around the wallet just like in Step 3 to seal the edges. NOTE: Slit the sides of the credit card pockets where the tape seals the edges to fit credit cards in the slots.
- Repeat Steps 6-8 to add more pockets.
- Decorate the outside of your wallet with different shapes or designs and make it unique!

Coolant Temperature Sensor
Some Like it HOT! But your vehicle's engine does not like it TOO HOT. The coolant temperature sensor sends a signal to a gauge, light, and/or your computer indicating the radiator fluid temperature. This can be critical in preventing an overheating situation.
Modern cars and trucks may have a few different coolant temperature sending units. The most important coolant temperature switch is the one that tells the computer how hot the anti-freeze is. A radiator fluid temperature sensor that sends a signal to the computer is best diagnosed through your vehcle's On Board Diagnosis System. In a modern vehicle, the computer uses the signal from this sensor to determine critical factors such as air/fuel mixture, and timing advance.
If your vehicle has a temperature gauge you may diagnose the anti-freeze temperature switch. Locate the radiator fluid switch that sends the signal to the temperature gauge. Have a helper turn the key to 'run' or 'on' and watch the temperature gauge. When you unplug the wire from the sensor, the gauge should go to its lowest position. Touch the end of the lead to a piece of iron (the engine block or a bracket). When you ground the wire, the temperature gauge should go to its highest reading. If your gauge does not work correctly during normal running but responds as above, then your gauge is fine but your coolant temperature sensor is bad. With age these sensors can lose their calibration and give poor readings.
In older vehicles with a temperature indicator light, your system has a built-in checking mechanism. When you turn your key to the 'on' or 'run' position the light lights up indicating that the bulb works and that is there is a connection to the sending unit. Once you start your vehicle, the light should go off. If the light does not go off, when your engine is clearly cold, then there is a short in the circuit or your sending unit is bad. If the light fails to light when in the run or on position check the bulb and fuse (where applicable). If both the bulb and fuse are OK , your sending unit is to blame. Also coolant temperature sending units of this type should be replaced with age as they tend to be unreliable and may not tell you when the engine is too hot.

No. 69: Maryland
By Paul Myerberg // Jun 23, 2011
Thanks for the memories. And the wins. Maryland bid adieu to Ralph Friedgen after 10 years, 75 wins, seven bowl bids and the finest single-season turnaround in program history, turning the reins over to former Connecticut coach Randy Edsall, the architect of that program's rise from the F.C.S. to the top of the Big East. It's a fairly even trade on paper. But aren't programs supposed to upgrade, not trade apples for apples? Maryland was clearly entranced by Connecticut's Fiesta Bowl run last fall, as were others. But sticking with the fruit theme, comparing the Big East to the A.C.C. is like comparing apples to oranges: the A.C.C. is not the SEC, but Edsall will miss Rutgers, Syracuse and Louisville when his Terrapins meet Georgia Tech, Clemson and Florida State over a three-week span in October.

Last year's prediction
Here's some more good news: after being decimated by graduation heading into last season — to the tune of only slightly more than a dozen returning lettermen — Maryland brings back most of last season's contributors.The defensive line will have a new look, as will the secondary. Much depends on the development of last year's true and redshirt freshmen, as Maryland currently has only nine seniors on its two-deep. This is a far better team, a hungry team, and one very capable of making a four-win improvement on last year's mark and returning to bowl play. Let's see if the Terps can send Friedgen out in style.
2010 recap
In a nutshell Only Miami (Ohio) had a finer one-year turnaround from 2009 to 2010. The RedHawks added nine wins, going from 1-11 to 10-4, while the Terrapins added seven, going from the bottom of the A.C.C. at 2-10 to nationally ranked at 9-4, 5-3 in conference play. So what happened? Quite simply, it was as if the team grew up overnight: decimated by graduation and attrition heading into the 2009 season, a young group turned a year full of struggles into the sort of experience needed to challenge for conference championships. And the Terrapins were very close to taking home the Atlantic crown, losing out to Florida State by a single game. Where did we see the most improvement? No one group stood out more than another; on offense, defense, special teams, forcing turnovers, what have you, Maryland was substantially improved. Yet it wasn't enough to save Friedgen's job, unfortunately.
High point A 38-31 win over N.C. State to end the regular season. That might double as Florida State's high point of the year: the win gave F.S.U. the division title. N.C. State held a 14-0 advantage with 13 minutes left in the second quarter; 37 minutes later, it was 38-17, all Terrapins. Also, don't underestimate the importance of a win over Navy in the season opener. Maryland, which won thanks to a late goal line stand, really needed a shot of confidence.
Low point A 30-16 loss to Florida State. Maryland's lone home defeat of the season, it prevented Maryland from winning the Atlantic. The Terrapins were in the driver's seat at that point, sitting at 7-3, 4-2 in the A.C.C., and with games against the Seminoles and Wolfpack on the docket. Maryland also laid an egg against Clemson, allowing 31 points to one of the A.C.C.'s most offensively-challenged teams.
Tidbit The streak continues. Maryland has not had a punt blocked since Nov. 13, 1999, a span of 137 games. It's the longest such streak in the country. Just as a comparison, Ray Rychelski's superb seven-year stint in College Park as Maryland's special teams coach, from 2001-7, saw the Terrapins block 22 kicks, returning eight for scores.
Tidbit (turnovers edition) There are a few constants found on teams that make sizable one-year turnarounds, as Maryland did a year ago. Most such teams typically struggle behind a young roster in one year only to have that same roster, a year older and more experienced, propel a strong lift in the win column. Such was the case at Maryland. Another near constant: a reversal of fortune in turnover margin. The Terrapins ranked 97th nationally in that regard in 2009 at minus-nine; that changed to plus-15 last fall, tied for fourth nationally. It gets better: opponents turned Maryland's 14 turnovers into only 20 points, which is absolutely amazing, while Maryland turned its 29 takeaways into 100 points.
Tidbit (100-word preview edition) It's that time again. Here's how it works: I give you a quiz question; you become the first person to answer the question; you win the opportunity to pen a 100-word preview of your favorite team when it appears on the Countdown. Get it? Good. Here's the question:
Maryland replaced Ralph Friedgen after he won nine games in 2010. That makes the Terrapins one of 19 B.C.S. conference programs since the end of the 2002 season to have undergone a coaching change – whether due to firing, a coach who took a job elsewhere or otherwise – after winning nine or more games in a season. Can you name at least 16 other B.C.S. conference programs that have made a coaching move between 2002-2011 after winning at least nine games in the prior season?

Randy Edsall ('80 Syracuse), entering his first season. Edsall went 74-70 over 12 years at Connecticut, leading the Huskies to last year's Fiesta Bowl thanks to the program's first Big East title. Time in Storrs flew by for Edsall, who oversaw Connecticut's transition from the F.C.S. in 2000 and led the program through Independent status (2000-3) into the Big East (beginning in 2004). His first two teams on the F.B.S. level, from 2000-1, were the main contributors to his sub-.500 record; his Huskies went a combined 5-17. However, the 2002 team – the first UConn team to field a full roster of 85 scholarship players – finished 6-6, the program's best mark since winning 10 games under current South Florida coach Skip Holtz in 1998. The strong finish carried over to recent Huskies teams: UConn finished 9-3 in 2003, its final season as an Independent, and has won at least eight games five times as a member of the Big East. Edsall's F.B.S. coaching experience includes stints at Syracuse (1980-90), Boston College (1991-93) and Georgia Tech (1998). With the Orange, Edsall coached the running backs (1983-4, 1986), the tight ends (1985) and the defensive backs (1987-90); this experience made him a logical choice to replace Greg Robinson in late 2008, but Edsall removed his name from consideration. It was only logical that Edsall's name would continue to be bandied about for mid-level B.C.S. conference openings along the East Coast, especially after last season's success. Edsall found an attractive partner in Maryland, a program with more potential than Connecticut — but one with a far tougher hill to climb in order to land a B.C.S. berth.
Tidbit (coaching edition) Edsall retained two of Friedgen's assistants: offensive line coach Tom Brattan, who enters his 11th season with the program, and wide receivers coach Lee Hull, entering his fourth. Edsall did not bring his defensive coordinator at Connecticut, Todd Orlando, along for the ride, opting instead for former Southern Mississippi coordinator Todd Bradford. His groups in Hattiesburg were always good at forcing turnovers, but really took a step forward last fall against the run. We are all familiar with Gary Crowton, whom Edsall pried away – or something along those lines – from L.S.U.; if all goes according to history, Crowton's offense will be spectacular over his first year or two before taking a disappointing nosedive.
Players to watch
Some quarterbacks pad their statistics by turning in a dominant stretch during non-conference play. Pshaw, says sophomore quarterback Danny O'Brien: his numbers are all legitimate, minus some garbage works against Morgan State. O'Brien languished in a reserve role through Maryland's first three games, playing behind then-starter Jamarr Robinson, but Robinson's inconsistent play opened the door for O'Brien to put together one of the best rookie campaigns by a quarterback in A.C.C. history. Somewhat unexpectedly, I might add. Yes, O'Brien was lavished with praise during the spring and fall, but most assumed that his time was coming – that he would play but not factor heavily into Maryland's fortunes in 2010.
Not quite, and I stand corrected. O'Brien was the primary factor behind this team's resurgence: he threw for 2,438 yards and 22 scores with only 8 interceptions in 337 attempts, providing balance to an offense that had been far too reliant on the running game to shoulder the load. What can O'Brien do in 2011? He must find a new favorite target – make that two new favorite targets – but his presence alone leads me to believe Maryland will continue to make defenses take note of both the running and the passing game. The Terrapins can finally feel secure with their situation at quarterback, not just in 2011 but for the foreseeable future. That must feel good.
One thing Edsall won't alter is Maryland's fixation on getting it done on the ground. We saw this at Connecticut: Edsall's teams offset sub par quarterback play with prolific back after prolific back, annually putting one ball-carrier among the nation's leading rushers. Edsall would have loved to work with last year's group, which included Da'Rel Scott, Devin Meggett and D.J. Adams. Scott is gone, taking his 708 yards rushing with him, so Meggett and Adams take center stage. They'll make a fine pair: Meggett (team-best 720 yards) seems the more likely to break the big play, while Adams (239 yards, 11 scores) is a terrific short-yardage and goal line back. What if one – or both – go down to injury? As at quarterback, you don't want to think about the possibility. There's precious little game experience behind Meggett and Adams, so the Terrapins would need to find production from a redshirt freshman like Jeremiah Wilson or from little-used reserves like Desmond Haynes and Kwabena Ofori.
The offensive line brings back five players with solid starting experience, but one of the five, junior Justin Gilbert, tore his A.C.L. early in the spring and might miss most of the upcoming season. That's another tough blow for Gilbert, who suffered the same injury in last September's game against West Virginia and missed the rest of the year. His setback opens the door for sophomore Max Garcia to step in at left tackle: Garcia burned his redshirt for less than 20 plays against Florida State, which the Terrapins might regret down the road. The rest of the line will go according to plan. From left to right, as was the case a year ago: senior Andrew Gonnella, sophomore Bennett Fulper, junior Justin Lewis and junior R.J. Dill.
There will be changes defensively, from a new look to new names to new faces at new positions, which should lead to some growing pains for this defense. Bradford will be aggressive, much as he was with the Golden Eagles, which should bode well for a group that was about average in getting to the quarterback in 2010. But Bradford will need to temper some of that aggressiveness as he rebuilds part of his secondary.
Both starting safeties must be replaced, though one isn't going far. Kenny Tate, who was a star at safety last fall, moves down to linebacker to fill a sort of hybrid role, one he'll fill with ease. Tate has the skill set – the size and athletic ability – to be even better in this new spot, one that will ask him to play the run and the pass in equal measure. But his move, as well as the graduation of Antwine Perez, leaves Maryland in the hunt for two new starters. Who the starters will be really isn't in doubt: it'll be sophomore Matt Franklin and junior Eric Franklin, neither of whom lack for ability. But they are first-year starters, albeit first-year starters with some significant experience, so the Terrapins may suffer a bit of a drop-off.
It'll be roughly the status quo at cornerback. Senior Cameron Chism, an all-conference candidate, brings a team-best 23 consecutive starts into the fall. He'll be joined by another senior, Trenton Hughes, who received plenty of attention from opposing quarterbacks due to Chism's status on the opposite side. But Hughes might not retain his starting role, should sophomore Dexter McDougle's strong spring be any indication. Hughes would then fall into a key reserve role as the team's third cornerback; with this new system, he'll see plenty of action.
Tate headlines a linebacker corps that was leveled by graduation: the Terrapins lost Alex Wujciak in the middle and Adrian Moten on the strong side, two large figures whose production will be hard to replace. Maryland will try its best, however, and having Tate on the second level will help matters immensely. Junior Demetrius Hartsfield (88 tackles, 6.5 for loss) will move from the weak side to the middle, where he should put up some big numbers. The Terrapins have high hopes for another junior, Darin Drakeford (36 tackles), who impressed in a reserve role in 2010 – he'll take over for Hartsfield on the weak side.
Sophomore David Mackall is one of the most intriguing prospects on this team: he had an immediate impact as a first-year lineman last fall, making 18 tackles, 3 sacks and an interception. He'll be Maryland's rush end in this new alignment, which will place Mackall in a position to be an enormous difference-maker for the defense as a whole – as the pass rush goes, so goes much of the defense. But Mackall does lack the bulk to factor heavily against the run, which is a concern. Isaiah Ross will see plenty of time at end, as will redshirt freshman Clarence Murphy; he was somewhat of a surprise starter at end coming out of the spring.
Murphy is actually one of three young linemen due to start in 2011 – a second is Mackall. The third is tackle Andre Monroe, who moved ahead of converted end Justin Anderson (22 tackles, 2 sacks) to grab a starting role alongside junior Joe Vellano (63 tackles, 10.5 for loss, 5 sacks), one of the A.C.C.'s best. Anderson always seemed a little too stiff to make a difference at end, so his transition inside makes sense. Adding Monroe to a group that includes Vellano, Anderson and A.J. Francis gives Maryland a great interior.
Position battle(s) to watch
Wide receiver Torrey Smith's big-play ability will be sorely missed, both as a return man and in the passing game. Maryland will also miss Adrian Cannon's consistency, which helped him post 80 grabs over his final two seasons. One weapon, one consistent presence: this pair carried the load for O'Brien, breaking in the first-year starter with remarkable results. So where does Maryland turn in 2011? Three returning contributors are expected to hold lead roles. One is senior Ronnie Tyler, who made 13 catches for 149 yards in 2010. Option two is another senior, Quintin McRee, who is the most game-tested receiver on the roster. Then there's junior Kevin Dorsey, who added 15 grabs fro 187 yards last fall – the yardage total is the most of any returning receiver. What comes next? A whole lot of inexperience. But there is talent, to be fair. Junior Kerry Boykins (10 for 124) has nice size, like Dorsey. And there are a few freshmen in the mix, like converted quarterback Devin Burns and true freshmen Tyrek Cheeseboro and Nigel King. Also in the mix is former Maryland basketball player Cliff Tucker, 6'6, who clearly does not lack for athletic ability – though his outside shot always needed work. There are several former basketball players who have turned in fine senior seasons on the football field, but Edsall did not seem convinced that Tucker was ready to make an impact during the spring. Perhaps his size and leaping ability can be used to Maryland's advantage in the red zone.
Game(s) to watch
Maryland hits the ground running with Miami (Fla.) and West Virginia to open the season. A brief lull precedes the heart of A.C.C. play, which kicks off in earnest with the quartet of Georgia Tech, Clemson, Florida State and Boston College. Welcome to the A.C.C., coach. Perhaps the most highly-anticipated game to be played at FedEx Field this fall is Maryland's date with Notre Dame. The Cowboys are coming to town, but the Redskins will lose that one, I promise.
Season breakdown & prediction
In a nutshell What did Edsall see in Maryland? Is it more fitting to ask what he didn't see at Connecticut? What he sees in Maryland is a program with a brighter future, a higher ceiling, even if he'll find a B.C.S. berth far harder to come by in College Park than it was in Storrs. Edsall has made his choice: he's opted for promise over comfort, and one can only hope he doesn't come to regret leaving a place that would have had him for the rest of his coaching career. This move may someday prove wise; it won't be an easy transition, however. I don't think Edsall is going to experience immediate success with the Terrapins: this team won't near last season's win total, in my mind, in part thanks to the changes that occur with any coaching change. The list of recent first-year A.C.C. coaches – not counting former coach-in-waiting Jimbo Fisher – who have taken over a bowl team and made a substantial improvement from the start is a short one: Paul Johnson did so at Georgia Tech, but such situations often find a team treading water, perhaps taking a step back while it adjusts to new coaching philosophies. That's not a good enough reason to think Maryland a six-win team. But when taken in conjunction with the losses at receiver, a lack of depth in the backfield and a few dangers spots on defense, you can see why we should tone down the expectations for Maryland in year one under Edsall. Can he get it done eventually? Say one thing for Edsall: his system would work anywhere. And it should work at Maryland. Will he lead the Terrapins to the B.C.S., like he did at Connecticut? I would bet against it, but Edsall has surprised before. Let's take it one year at a time. For now, I think Maryland's a bowl team, but on the lower end of the bowl ladder.
Dream season Edsall leads Maryland to the A.C.C. title game, leaving him right on the doorstep of a second consecutive B.C.S. bowl appearance.
Nightmare season The Terrapins drop to 4-8, 2-6 in the A.C.C.
