The course of multiple sclerosis varies for each person. Because of this uncertainty, doctors often tell their patients that they "probably" or "possibly" have MS. Your diagnosis is based on the combination of problems, patterns of recurrence, which systems are impaired and your test results. There is no way to predict how each person's condition will progress. It often takes years before a doctor can be certain of an MS diagnosis and have some idea on how the disease will progress.
There are four courses that MS takes:
Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40, but the unpredictable physical and emotional effects of the disease continue throughout the person's life.
A true exacerbation of MS is caused by an area of inflammation (swelling) in the nerves of the brain and spinal cord system followed by something called demyelination, which is the destruction of myelin. The myelin is the fatty sheath that surrounds and protects the nerve fibers.
Demyelination results in the formation of an abnormal area called a plaque within the brain and/or spinal cord. A plaque causes the nerve impulses to be slowed, distorted, or halted, producing the symptoms of MS. One example of an exacerbation of MS would be the development of optic neuritis, an inflammation of the optic nerve (which is in the back of the eye) that impairs vision.
An exacerbation of MS may be mild and not cause a noticeable impairment in functioning or may significantly interfere with a person's daily life. Exacerbations usually last from several days to several weeks, although they may extend into months.
Exacerbations or relapses of MS are often treated with medications called corticosteroids. These drugs reduce inflammation. It is generally accepted that taking corticosteroids for a short amount of time will shorten an exacerbation and/or reduce the severity.
Sometimes an increase in symptoms has nothing to do with the underlying MS, but is caused by factors such as fever, infection or hot weather that can temporarily aggravate MS. This is referred to as a pseudoexacerbation. For example, some people report a worsening of their symptoms during or after periods of intense stress.
A remission does not mean that all the symptoms of MS disappear, but rather that a person with MS mostly returns to the way they were before the last exacerbation or relapse began.

Birthday Gift Bonanza
Hi everyone,
My skillets arrived today in excellent shape and I just LOVE the color! I'll get a picture for you all later on.
In the meantime, I'm also writing down recipes for a theatre friend's birthday party tomorrow night. I wrote down three and having trouble finding some others. I wrote down the Express Fruit Cobbler, Bacon Wrapped Chicken, and Louisiana Crab Stuffed Potatoes. I'd like to give her maybe a soup recipe (I have ideas for that), another main dish, and a beverage at least. For the beverage I was thinking of maybe a sangria recipe. Would Banana Bread be a good idea as well? Any suggestions are very much appreciated! Thank you!
Brad AKA Moonwolf
Brad, I think that's very nice, and I'm excited to see a picture of your new pans, I'll bet a lot of good cooking is going to be going on with those.
I think banana bread would be a nice addition to the recipes you chose, or pumpkin bread, a sweet is always welcome and those are easy to slice and transport and they keep well.
Banana bread is always popular. Is this a menu you're planning or are you giving an assortment of recipes? If it's a recipe assortment, I might include a snack item like the Ranch Oyster Crackers or the Caramel Cheetos. Possibly a salad to round out the assortment.
Cook up a storm on the new gear!
Cynic hit it right on the nose: I'm writing down recipes to give to her as a gift. She's also getting two cookbooks of Depression-era recipes and a kitchen towel set that mom got as a free gift in a catalog order and was planning to give away. Perfect timing! lol
Annie, the largest of the pans I already have planned for frying up some green tomatoes this summer :-). The smallest looks big enough to fry a single egg and the medium sized pan looks right for making grilled cheese or French toast
I was looking through my Pioneer Woman cookbooks. I wrote down her Spicy Pulled Pork recipe and the recipe from mom's recipe box for M&M or white chocolate chip cookies. Now I have a dessert recipe, a cookie recipe, two meat recipes, and a potato recipe. Now all I need is a beverage recipe and perhaps a salad recipe and/or an appetizer/snack recipe.
Brad AKA Moonwolf
Sounds like fun to me!
If you go with banana bread, here is one that is very moist:
Pudding Banana Bread
1 stick of butter melted,
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs, at room temp.
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 3.4 oz container Banana Creme Pudding (could use vanilla)
1 5 oz Chobani Banana Greek Yogurt (could use plain or vanilla)
2 large or 3 medium banana, very ripe
Preheat oven to 350F and grease a 9X5 baking pan.
In a large bowl combine melted butter and sugars. Add eggs one at a time and vanilla. Mix in flour, baking soda, salt and pudding mix until just combined. Do not over mix. Fold in greek yogurt and smashed bananas. Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in comes out clean.
The party was a HUGE success with lots of delicious food and laughs. The party had a James Bond theme, with fake gems in martini glasses, playing cards, toy pistols, VHS/DVDs of the different films, movie posters, and pictures of different actors who portrayed the most famous spy of all.
To top it off, she LOVED her presents I gave her. I did end up giving her the famous lemonade recipe you all seem to enjoy :-). She and her husband both commented on the kitchen towel set and that it was very much appreciated and needed. Tomorrow is work day at the theatre, so more fun is expected lol.

an audio book by Dana Stabenow, read by Marguerite Gavin
To hear versatile actress Anne Flosnik read The Lady in the Tower is to be transported to 16th century England, to the court of Henry VIII. While Henry was, indeed, a contradictory figure his court was even more so, filled with plotting, scheming, betrayals of trust. Flosnik's voice itself takes us there with a distinct, brisk British accent. Her tone is both soft and firm. Add to this voice her acting ability and you have an exemplary performance, one that holds listeners rapt even though most know the outcome.
Throughout history we find women who intrigue, their stories captivating us even after centuries have past. Surely few of those lives are as compelling as that of Anne Boleyn.
History does not accurately record the date of her birth with guesses ranging from 1501 - 1507. What is known is that as a young girl she was sent to France, to the household of Mary, Henry VIII's sister who was the wife of Louis XII. She returned to England in 1921 to prepare for a marriage which did not take place. Following this she had relationships with several men. Anne was an ambitious woman, and eventually caught the eye of Henry VIII who was then married to Catherine of Aragon.
Catch Henry's eye she did and more. When she refused to become his mistress he decided to divorce Catherine and marry Anne. The marriage did finally take place after she became pregnant with his child, a girl. Anne never produced a son; Henry's attention soon turned to another. She reigned for a brief three years as Queen and the drama of those days continues to attract us.
Highly recommended

Rooter companies all want to re-line my sewer pipe
Ever since we moved in to our 1964 house 15 years ago we've had to clear the main sewer line of roots about every 3 years. It used to be no hassle, a guy would come & run the router with blades, charge about 100 bucks and go. Now they all start with a hard sell about how we must "re-line" the pipe with epoxy resin. The cost is between $3000 and $5000. Two different router companies gave us the same sales pitch, complete with dire warnings of what would happen if we don't act now. I think we're going to try some of the chemical treatments like RootX before we plunk down that much. Anyone else have their pipe re-lined? We're in California and I've been calling the major router service companies. Maybe I should stick with local independent plumbers who haven't invested big time in the lining equipment?
I'll admit right out that I'm no expert on this, other than what owning homes for 40 years has taught me. But I do have some reactions:
1. Sounds like a nice way to turn a big profit.
2. Might not even work in the long run. (Have you seen what roots do to sidewalks?) Does it come with a guarantee?
3. How much would it cost to just excavate the whole line and replace it with something new? (Perhaps less than this little project.)
If it were me, and I was at all interested in at least learning more, I'd be talking with the guys at the local water department to get an unbiased assessment.
Bus Driver - I saw that show too! I was quite impressed with the process. Also, I was appalled at how the existing pipe had been invaded by roots--the damage was so extensive I don't think an annual routing would have helped. It was clear in the show that the re-lining for that home's pipe was absolutely necessary and beneficial. BUT, they also had to dig up the sidewalk, and then replace the sidewalk. That's great if you're "This Old House" with all its resources. I don't know where the OP's pipe is, but I wonder if the quoted amounts include putting the groundcover/sidewalk/lawn or whatever back to its original condition after being dug up.
On the This Old House resources page, they list the Sewer Pipe Relining System contractor and the manufacturer (Maxlinerusa) . Perhaps the OP can check out the Maxlinerusa website, or even contact the contractor for more info.
The city on This old house dug up the sidewalk. the fitting where the line went into the main sewer was also broken. So that was the city's to fix. The main line happened to be under the sidewalk. The line had sunk in the middle because it was made out of vitrified pipe. Vit pipe is a clay pipe with a glaze baked on it.
If I had a sewer that kept clogging I would first get a camera ran down it and a videotape of the procedure. Review it for the type of pipe and the reason the roots keep invading. Then find out how deep the pipe is in the ground.
My parents had their sewer line replaced years ago and when they did they found it was down about 12 ft. Major excavation which required a tree to be cut down.
I would not go into a reline job without first getting a camera run down it. Then I would do a thorough search for contractors and get multiple estimates. Then check the company with the BBB and if available in your area Angies list. You might not need a reline at all just the root killer on a regular basis. If you have a maple tree nearby, they are well known for root invasion. Oak trees very rarely invade sewers.
We were thinking it was our oak tree, I'm happy to hear they are not usually a problem. Other trees in the area are pine. We're in a semi-desert area, so the pipe probably attracts roots from all over. We had a video inspection 5 yrs ago that showed fine roots coming in at the joints of the clay pipe. The pipe looked to be in good condition. We should have been better at having it routed regularly, prior to a problem arising. I researched all the chemical treatments and ordered some RootX. I'm thinking of adding copper sulfate at the same time, so it will distribute with the foam. Can't think of a reason the copper sulfate would interfere with herbicide. The company that just did the last router job planned to come back for a "free" video inspection ($375 value). I don't want to deal with another sale's pitch, so we'll see how it goes with the chemicals for a year. Thanks for the suggestions on getting multiple bids. Next time we have a problem we'll pay for the video inspection and use the information for bids. I assume if we pay for it we're entitled to keep the video.
Call me Old-Fashioned. But I think videos are best used for weddings and graduations. If I had a video of my sewer line I would have to have a very special shelf to keep it. Hey, when will I need it again? How about when I go to my Eternal Reward?
Great! There is me, lying next to a sewer line and neither is in the frost zone. The chief difference is that when dug up, I might be disinterred, while the sewer is diss in turd. WhatÂs with these sewer cameras? You donÂt do gastroenterology on a sewer. People who understand sewers are capable of making them work again, when they fail.
Those who need a camera are ADHD. Once in a great while, it would make good sense to video-tape a trip thru your sewer. Most of the time, if the provider doesnÂt know whatÂs wrong, it is pure stupidity to train them on your nickel.
I recently had a sewer line rodded and discovered a defect. It was an error about forty years old. The saved expense of deciding that was spent in fixing it. I donÂt say there is no good use for the sewer line videos. I just think it would be better spent on your own sewage system. See your internist.
When a tree root enters your sewer line it begins as a single filament finer than a human hair, carefully working its way through a crack or crevice in the pipe or a joint. Once it reaches its goal of the water in the pipe it begins sending water back to the tree, ever growing in the process. And as it grows larger it expands the crack in the pipe or joint allowing more roots to enter until finally your sewer if full of hair like fibers like a mat of hair. If we then pour a chemical in to kill the roots we are left with a birds nest of dry twigs clogging the pipe.
Rather than a pour all those drain additives in the line, about once a month when you are in the bathroom just open your wallet and take out a $20 bill and flush that. It will have exactly the same effect on your house sewer but at least you save the 1/2 tank of gas running to the hardware store to get the chemicals.
If you want to hear a testamonial about relining the pipe call your local sanitation engineer. Most cities are now saving the taxpayers millions upon millions of dollars by relining sewer pipes instead of digging up the streets and laying new pipe.
I can attest to that. I have seen the relining of the mains by where I live, and actually talked to the crew doing it. The liners bridge cracks, misaligned/seperated joints, even small sections of 'missing' pipe.
As for your concerns about the cost, it is alot cheaper than open cut excavation. I had a quote one time of $4000 to dig in one spot (wasnt necessary thankfully)not even replace a whole line.
Consider the company will either need to bring in a backhoe or small excavator, these must be trailered in so there is maintenance for the truck and trailer, besides the machine, fuel etc. Then there is material costs, labor costs (minimum of two men, easily a full day)for the excavation and pipe work. Plus restoration, and trust me if you are lucky it will return to a rough grade (often costs extra).
Ha Ha. Applying herbicide to roots is not exactly flushing money away. The line has already been cleared, so the objective is to prevent the invasion of new roots. Here's the math: Herbicide for 1 year = $25-$50, plus a little copper sulfate ($5) for a total of $55 max. The treatment is highly effective, according to government and university publications. It is used by numerous municipalities in their main sewer lines. I have no doubt that re lining is a great technique when all else fails. Cost = $3500 on average, equivalent to 63 years of chemical treatments. D'OH, as Homer would say.
Do'h.....what you are failing to understand is that when the herbicide is put in the municipal lines it is injected in with a hydroblaster that coats the entire pipe wall.
Sewer and drain pipes are sized so the pipe will only be 1/2 full at full load, which leaves the upper half of the pipe open for the transfer of vent air.
When you attempt to apply the chemicals by pouring them in a drain then flushing with water, at best you can only coat the bottom half of the pipe which in most cases serves very little to reduce the roots.
Double D'oh, The most popular herbicide for the treatment of sewer lines (RootX) comes as a wettable powder that produces a high volume foam when moistened. It is applied in the cleanout opening outside the house. The foam distributes the compound to the top of the pipe. If I dissolve copper sulfate in the water that I use to hydrate the foam I should be able to get the copper to the top of the pipe too. Copper kills/repels roots but is not transported systemically. Likewise with the herbicide. However copper, as a heavy metal, persists all the way to the sewage treatment plant. It shouldn't be used large scale.
Yes! You are going to kill a lot of fish and other wildlife in the process - and limit the usability of the sewage for other purposes, like irrigating golf courses or whatever.
Stuff that'll kill roots like that is NASTY. Plan instead to fix the 'root' of the problem, if you add up the annual expense of the clearing, which you'll probably have to do, and the aggravation etc - and don't forget the gaps and/or cracks in the sewer'll still be there - you might as well bite the bullet and get it fixed properly - then you'll have no further problems.
Just mixing an additional chemical another compound into the water used to make the foam does not mean it will be distributed in the foam especially not evenly. Plus the idea of mixing an additonal compound in is unproven and dangerous.
As for this high volume foam...consider how much of it you mix up....I seriously doubt it adequatelly coats the entire pipe wall interior for the entire length of the drain. In municipalites and colleges the treatment is sprayed onto the pipe wall as it moves along. Plus once the root enters and is killed, the dead fibers are still there.
Hi all!
I work at a company that do pipe inspection and pipe relining every day. We also dig up streets, gardens, sidewalks and so on where pipes need to be replaced due to collapses, capacity problems and so on.
It's interesting to see all of this interest from ordinary people that has nothing to do with pipes in the first place and can offer a outside view of things.
Now over to the nerdy stuff.
1. Old clay pipes that has no sealing in the joints are leaking in every single joint.
You might not be allowed to dump chemicals into the ground and possibly into your drinking water in the long run.
Same goes for your sewage, new laws are coming every now and then in most countries, including environmental hysteria ones.
2. Old pipes are not getting any younger.
Expect more rather than less problems in the future.
3. Digging up stuff is messy and expensive.
Power lines, Cable TV, water lines, Phone lines, drain pipes and a few other things might be encountered and possibly damaged in the process and add to the "horror" (cost/time/responsibility) of digging.
4. Have you checked your insurance papers?
It might be covered in full or at least partially by your insurance company.
So there you have it, a biased view from Norway.
I am the guy who operates one of those video sewer camera for a major plumbing company. I do agree that no root killer can foam the entire length of a sewer line and coat the entire pipe with all of the normal down tubes, 45 degree's and bends that a pipe normally takes. Also if roots are penetrating the joints of your pipes internally they have more than likey spider cracked the top of the old pipe and damaged its integraty. We use a bursting technology that replaces the old line with an entirely new line pulled through teh old pipe and is seamless so it carries a 50 year transferrable warranty. I would look into a pernament fix as opposed to trying to chemically fix a root problem. Just doesn't work.
you may not know but this pipe lining ws started over in europe the last 3 decades maybe 4? their infrustucture is way older than ours. where I am, it is all slab homes
(no basements) mostly 1970's and 80ty's were made of cast iron. PVC started to make it way into the mainstream after that. These pipes are rotting away! when I say rotting I mean the base is gone.fractures are 1/2 inch and wider that are all over the place.sides,bottom, top, in lentghs that are in feet. Now you also have water lines in there.where? who knows. pipe bursting is not good because at every place a 2" or 4" pipe comes into the main line you have to dig up a section of floor to have a repair done et every interval. short of digging up the home and it had been done, pipe lining is the only real way to avoid a total rehab of the home. the co's that do this have a limited 50 year warranty on materials. it seals every joint,fracture all drains coming into the line and thats where they call reinstateting comes in. they have to open up all drains that where covered over by the material. so if europe started this,30 or 40 years ago and did all their streets (no digging up the streets all over europe) and I have not read anything bad happening I would not have any fears. like anything else,price and convience,where I am located sarasota fl this is the only way to fly! I am talking infustructure. if you had a cobblestone driveway the cost of lining would be cheaper than having someone come in to do the repair on top of the repair. also pipe pulling would in that case should be looked at too. BTW I also do this work
Ok, so one thing that has confused me so far is we had massive root invasion. It makes sense that relining is the recommendation, but since most sites, including this one, mention costs vs. open excavation. In order to remove the root, it was massive excavation. The yard is massively dug up. So, if it's already dug up, how come they must now, for the tune of $7,500, reline instead of repalce pipe? Are we being taken for our $11,000?
I am a Licenced Plumber in NC and folks you are not being taken cost wise. Companies that install sewer relines have money invested in their equipment. There is nothing wrong with companies charging a customer $11000 to do a job. They also provide service tech jobs use state of the art technology and pay their taxes.
If a home owner wants to go pay 20k-50k in equipment and materials to install their own sewer liner knock yourself out.
Unless you work with sewers for a living you have no idea what is involved!
We're in the inspection process of buying a 100-year-old house. During the initial home inspection, the inspectors pointed out what looked like water erosion around a downspout that dumps into a pipe in the ground. We decided to have a plumber in to camera the pipe, and the pipe out to the street (which runs beneath an oak the same age as the house) shows a lot of root intrusion, including one huge root ball with a perfect small hole drilled through it probably by a recent roto-rooting job.) The plumber said at minimum, the pipe needs to be "jetted" (about $800) and that they really recommend it be relined (about $10,000). They said the problem would only recur, almost certainly worsen, and that eventually the pipe would likely collapse which would entail trenching and removal of this old tree (it's a 50' wide city lot and the tree is smack in the middle of it at the sidewalk.) We're willing to do the work necessary to maintain this house well if we buy it, and we'd really hate to lose this tree, and the plumbers said relining would solve the problem for decades. But of course $10,000 is a lot of money, so I thought maybe I'd see if anyone could advise whether this scenario seems reasonable.

A couple of big plays gave Farmington some hope, but a stagnant second half on the offensive end allowed Hudson (Wis.) to take control in a 30-13 home opener Friday night at Tiger Stadium. The Tigers, who return just four players who saw significant time for last year's varsity team, were on the verge of trailing 17-0 late in the first half before Hudson lost a fumble inside the Farmington five-yard line.
The Farmington boys soccer team looked vastly improved from a season ago when it scored a combined 10 goals in opening the 2010 season with back-to-back victories. Even stronger evidence for the Tigers' improvement may have come in its first loss of the season Thursday night when it fell 2-1 in overtime to a Winona team that rolled to an 8-0 victory in last year's meeting. "We played Winona much better this year," second-year Farmington coach Julian Buss said.
Fifth-ranked (Class 2A) Eagan got all it could handle from Farmington last Thursday afternoon. The Wildcats trailed by a goal for much of the game before a spurt of three goals in less than 10 minutes allowed them to escape their home field with a 3-2 victory over the Tigers. "This was a blessing in disguise as the girls spent the last 20 minutes of the game overwhelming the No. 5 team in the state," Farmington coach Rob Carpentier said. "If we had played for the majority of the game like we did in the last 20 minutes the outcome would have been different. I was really proud of the girls.
The Farmington boys finished fifth and the girls sixth at the season-opening Dakota Classic cross country meet Friday in Eagan. The boys scored 149 points, placing them two ahead of Missota Conference rival New Prague. Eagan placed three runners in the top five to take the team title, 35-57, over runner-up Apple Valley. Senior and returning state qualifier Elliot Fenske led the Tigers with a fourth-place time of 10:34 on the 3,200-meter course. Junior Lincoln Kirchoff stepped into the No. 2 spot and finished 29th out of 52 runners in 11:33.

The Farmington volleyball, boys soccer and girls soccer teams all suffered setbacks Thursday night. The volleyball team suffered its first setback of the season 25-19, 25-13, 25-11 at Lakeville South. The Tiger boys soccer team was also dealt its first loss of the year, 2-1 at home against a Winhawks team that defeated them 8-0 last season. The girls soccer team evened its record at 2-2 with a 3-2 loss at Eagan.
A little adversity didn't affect the new-look Farmington volleyball team in its first game of the 2010 season. The Tigers, playing with a lineup that featured just two returning letterwinners from last year's state-qualifying team, overcame a five-point deficit late in Game 2 and held on after a back-and-forth Game 3 to score a season-opening 25-17, 26-24, 27-25 sweep of Hasting Friday night in Hastings. "They played really well together," coach Mike Woody said.
A busy first week of the season resulted in an 0-3 start for the Farmington girls tennis team. The Tigers sandwiched a 7-0 loss to South St. Paul Tuesday with a pair of third-place triangular finishes at the Mound Doubles Tournament and their own Farmington Invitational. "While we have played well, our opponents have for the most part been better," Farmington coach Jack Olwell said. "It has been a lean start to the year but the players are making great progress and the team has bonded well.
The Farmington girls swimming and diving team started the 2010 season by winning four events in a 95-88 dual victory over Apple Valley Thursday afternoon at Dodge Middle School. Cora Ruzicka and Kirsten Kracke were each part of two of those first-place finishes. Ruzicka edged teammate Chloe Holton for a winning time of 1 minute, 10.19 seconds in the 100 butterfly and Kracke finished just ahead of teammate Delaney Wright for a 1-2 Tiger showing in the 500 freestyle. Ruzicka, Kracke, Ellie Sundet and Kaitlyn O'Reilly closed out the meet by winning the 400 freestyle relay in 3:59.54.
Three-hundred and twenty days later, the Farmington boys soccer team finally got its revenge against Rochester John Marshall. The Rockets cut the Tigers' season short last fall with a 2-1 decision in the section tournament that was their first victory after an 0-14-1 regular season.

It would be great to see interviews from the perspective of the last rats off the ship and how they feel about the whole thing. By this time there has to be people ready to tell the real story.
There's a book waiting to be written here.

Fresno, Merced get tax breaks to spur more jobs
Fresno and Merced, along with Riverside, have been chosen for a new tax-incentives program designed to generate more jobs, Gov. Jerry Brown announced on Thursday.
"The state's economy is steadily improving and more than a million Californians are back to work after the massive mortgage meltdown," Brown said. "These tax credits will spur new jobs and help communities hardest hit by the recession."
The New Employment Credit is a hiring credit for businesses in communities with the highest rates of unemployment and poverty.
Fresno Mayor Ashley Swearengin said the program is good news.
"While the rest of California may be seeing the benefits of an improving economy, cities like Fresno are still struggling to deal with chronic unemployment," Swearengin said. "This announcement is an important indication that the governor is keenly aware of our struggles and recognizes that tax relief will create more job opportunity for Fresno's unemployed."
Areas in the city where the hiring credit could be applied are those adjoining freeways – 99, 180 and 41 – as well as near Fresno Yosemite International Airport, west Fresno and the southeast.
Assemblyman Jim Patterson, R-Fresno, said the tax reductions are a much-needed opportunity for employers.
"It is essential that we make our state a more competitive place to do business," Patterson said. "It is about time California takes seriously the lessons learned from other states like Texas, Florida and Ohio. I hope this is just the beginning of a growing effort by California to change the way we do business."
The credit is part of Brown's Economic Development Initiative that was passed in 2013. Under the legislation, the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) will oversee the credit and may designate up to five pilot areas.
In selecting the first round of pilot areas, GO-Biz evaluated employment, poverty and wage data to identify areas of the state that would benefit the most from the expanded hiring credit.
The designation as a pilot area is effective immediately, applicable for four years and may be extended by GO-Biz for an additional three years.
Brown's Economic Development Initiative is funded by redirecting approximately $750 million annually from the state's Enterprise Zone program, deemed by the governor to be outdated and ineffective. The initiative includes a statewide sales tax exemption on qualifying manufacturing equipment and research and development equipment purchases for biotech and manufacturing companies.

The problem of reducing optical losses in fluoride films

Fluoride films (made from barium, calcium, strontium, and lead fluorides) tend to crystallize when they are sputtered. For an optical thickness more than 3-5 µm, their transparency in the visible region decreases because of losses to scattering. This paper discusses the optical characteristics of doped films of barium, calcium, strontium, and lead fluorides and shows that it is possible to obtain films that are simultaneously transparent in the visible and IR regions. Doped barium fluoride films were used as a basis for synthesizing, fabricating, and studying interference coatings that operate in the mid-IR and the visible regions. We give as an example coatings simultaneously used in laser systems with wavelengths of 10.6 and 0.63 µm. © 2004 Optical Society of America

State to inspect Scripps Mercy after generator failure
"We do not know what caused these challenges but obviously they are a big concern. We need to know what happened," Gross said. "We've started (investigating) and will continue with this as an organizational priority."
No patients were evacuated and "we didn't have any patient untoward events or outcomes," he said. "That's a positive."
Gross said Sharp Memorial ran routine tests of the generators on Tuesday. Three ran properly but a fourth did not, so a diode was replaced and a successful retest was completed Wednesday, he said.
During the power outage, lighting was dimmed and power reduced except in priority areas. Electricity was cut to all outlets except for easily identifiable "red plugs" for necessary equipment.
As a precaution, a respiratory therapist was stationed by the bed of every patient on a ventilator in case power failed and the patient needed to be ventilated manually, he said.
Gross said Sharp will hold a systemwide debriefing Monday. "We will critique everything to see what we will do differently during future drills and events," he said. "We will have lessons learned."

Wild Magnolia
I moved into a house a few summers ago that is over 25 years old in the Coastal NC area. There is a wooded easement at the back of the house that looks like a few fairly large wild magnolias. I have have not yet seen any blooms. I read that wild magnolias were to bloom like crazy? Is there a chance it's too old to bloom? I read pruning is something that you should not do to a magnolia. I think it gets plenty of sunlight since they are on the edge of the easement behide our fence facing our house. The other half of the tree probably has a lot of over growth and aggressive vines behind it. Any salvage here???
The only factor that age plays in blooming is sometimes plants are too young to bloom. If they look healthy (not dying), then they should be blooming. You're right that getting enough sun is an issue. Perhaps clearing away some of the growth (competition?) and vines behind it would help (but watch out for poison ivy! - learn to recognize it if you don't know).

Clopay® has an easy-to-use product selection guide to identify the appropriate wind load application for each building code jurisdiction. Clopay WindCode® garage doors are identified by "W" designations; the higher the "W" rating, the stronger the garage door.
Clopay® assigns a WindCode® "W" rating to our doors based on code requirements determined by wind speed in miles per hour (MPH), home exposure and home structural type.
Determine the minimum wind speed (MPH) your door must meet or exceed from the map. This map is to help determine your "W" rating, and should be used as a guideline only. Contact your local building code official to determine the proper wind load requirements in your area.
If you live in Florida, please refer to the Florida WindCode Page.
Determine if your home is in an Exposure B or Exposure C region.
Exposure B - typically urban or suburban setting or wooded terrain. Exposure C - open terrain with scattered obstructions, flat open ground, grasslands or shorelines in hurricane-prone regions.
Determine the structural type of your home.
Due to the complexity of installing WindCode garage doors, meeting codes and pulling permits, we highly recommend professional installation.
Using wind speed (MPH), exposure and structural type, find your required design pressure and WindCode "W" rating in the charts below.
The design wind load pressure rating of a door is expressed in PSF (pounds per square foot). The design pressure of the door must equal or exceed the design pressure for the garage door opening in which a door is to be installed. Design pressure has positive and negative values.
The testing standard used in the garage door industry. Also known as uniform static air pressure testing. This standard was developed by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) to allow products to be measured in air pressure chambers. ASCE7 Design standard developed by the American Society of Civil Engineers titled "Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures". Section 6 of this standard deals with wind loads.
Is the basis for wind load calculations used in most building codes.
Model building code developed by the International Code Council. Most of the U.S. has adopted this building code (sometimes with slight, locally adopted variations). The wind load provisions in this code specifically call out ASCE7 to be used in wind load calculations.
The measurement of resistance in both positive and negative directions that a garage door system must withstand. Design pressures are usually expressed in both positive (PSF+) and negative (PSF-) values. Also known as design load.
The actual tested wind pressure resistance that a garage door system will withstand during laboratory testing. Most building officials require that the test pressure be equal to 150% of the design pressure. Also known as test load.
How wind is measured by the National Weather Service. This data is then compiled into wind maps incorporated into ASCE7 and the International Building Code. The wind speed maps are based on a yearly 2% probability of occurrence (50-year average peak wind).
The height above grade level of the midpoint of the roof. Mean roof height is calculated by averaging the eave and ridge heights, and is used as part of design pressure calculations in both ASCE7 and the International Building Code.
The actual measured speed of airflow during a wind event; usually expressed in MPH. Wind velocity is typically measured at 33 feet (10 meters) above ground level at airports and similar open country locations.
The registered name for all Clopay Building Products garage door products designed and tested to comply with wind resistance requirements of local, state, and national building codes. The WindCode® program includes engineering, marketing and sales programs designed to help Clopay customers understand code issues and determine the best garage doors for their specific geographic area.

Meet Malaysia's first female mixed martial artist

South Africa loose forward Siya Kolisi admits it would be a special moment playing his first test match at Newlands, but says he prefers to leave emotion off the pitch.The Stormers flank is likely to be on the bench when Springbok coach Heyene Meyer names his squad for Saturday's Rugby Championship clash with Australia, but could be given a run in front of an adoring Newlands faithful.Kolisi, one of a handful of black players to represent South Africa, made his debut against Scotland in June and won his sixth cap against New Zealand in the Springboks' defeat in Auckland last time out.His all-action style and ability to run with ball in hand have made him a firm crowd favourite and he admits his rise to fame has been life-changing.
Sometimes I do like to go back to the township to remind myself where I come from
Siya Kolisi, South Africa forward
"Sometimes I do like to go back to the township to remind myself where I come from," Kolisi told reporters at the opening of a museum dedicated to Springbok rugby in Cape Town on Tuesday."I am not really a man that likes to put emotion into rugby, but obviously it is going to be special for me playing in front of everyone but I will just try and keep that out my head and do the things that will help me to perform."Kolisi prefers to talk about his role in the team if he gets on, which is to help the side dominate at the breakdown, one of the key focus areas of the side this year."We are working hard on it, every week we want to improve, we know it is the most important part of the game because if we can get fast ball to our backline players we know we can do a lot of good things."The Springboks have won 10 of their last 12 matches at Newlands since 2001, losing only to France (2006) and New Zealand (2008). Three of those wins have come against Australia.Kolisi acknowledged it was a favourite stadium of the team, but felt it would have no bearing on Saturday's game."It's a very good record, but the record won't win us the game on Saturday, we still have to pitch up. We are not going to put that in our heads."South Africa currently trail Rugby Championship leaders New Zealand by four points with two rounds of matches still to play.The All Blacks are in Argentina on Saturday, before a showdown with the Springboks at Ellis Park on October 5.

Interested in more news on the Right to Die? ERGO circulates on a regular basis an electronic newslist with news from around the world.
An opinion article (by Rob Jonquière)
The request for and announcements around the euthanasia of Belgian prisoner has released tons of publications and debates around the world. At the centre of these discussions was of course the issue whether this was the definite proof of the so much feared slippery slope, or whether it demonstrated the legal and juridical strength of the law. Summarizing
HAARETZ: The recent Tel Aviv District Court ruling allowing a patient with terminal amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also called Lou Gehrig's disease) to end his life is a courageous decision. It advances the rights of an individual vis-a-vis his life and death, above and beyond the 2005 Dying Patient Law, which allows a person to refuse life-saving medical treatment only if their life expectancy is less than six months.
The court
Last year, the B.C. Government forged an all-party committee to study how the province's healthcare system can be improved. As part of its research, the Select Standing Committee on Health reached out to B.C. residents for input on a number of healthcare-related questions — including the future of end-of-life care in the province. Read here Dying with Dignity Canada's Submission to B.C.'s Select Standing on Health.
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) will deliberate this week on the fate of Vincent Lambert, the 38 year old quadriplegic currently being in a vegetative state. The Strasbourg judges will consider the case at a hearing. The hearing concerns teh conflict between his wife Rachel, who wishes to "let him go" and his parents, who refuse to stop the feeding and artificial hydration of their son.
The parents challenge the decision
La Cour européenne des droits de l'Homme (CEDH) se penche mercredi sur le sort de Vincent Lambert, ce tétraplégique de 38 ans plongé dans un état végétatif. Les juges de Strasbourg vont examiner, lors d'une audience, le conflit entre son épouse Rachel, qui souhaite le "laisser partir", et ses parents, qui refusent l'arrêt de l'alimentation et de l'hydratation artificielles de leur fils. Mais il faudra encore attendre pour connaître l'épilogue de ce feuilleton judiciaire à rebondissements, la Grande chambre de la CEDH ne devant rendre son arrêt que dans au moins un à deux mois.
Council members agreed with the Federal Medical Council (Bundesärztekammer) that doctors should not routinely be asked to help patients commit suicide. But they argued that in "exceptional circumstances", decisions of conscience by a doctor in the context of a "trusting doctor-patient relationship" should be respected. The decision is a blow to a cross-party initiative
The Assisted Suicide (Scotland) Bill (MSP Margo MacDonald) , according to its Summary, published on the Scottish Parliament official website "enables people with terminal or life, shortening illnesses or progressive conditions which are terminal or life-shortening and who wish to end their own lives to obtain assistance in doing so" by removing criminal and liability from those who provide such aid.
Developments are abundant in the United States. Here is what we see coming in the coming year:
California legislators will introduce
The campaigner for Dying with Dignity, Peter Short of Melbourne, died yesterday, less than a year since he was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer on his 57th birthday.
Earlier we have reported about the work that Peter has done for the campaign during 2014. Specifically, he has provided significant support to Senator Di Natale's Exposure draft of the Medical Services (Dying with Dignity) Bill 2014.
Right-to-die campaigner Debbie Purdy, who won a landmark ruling to clarify the law on assisted suicide, has died. The 51-year-old from Bradford had lived with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) for almost 20 years. Ms Purdy died on 23 December in London's Marie Curie Hospice.

The tables look great. At a very good price. The chrome polishing and weld points are adequate for a table of this price. They really look good. You can spend a lot more for these types and maybe get top of the line chrome polish and weld joints. However, I'm not sure anyone will ever notice. I do only because I am a manufacturer of metal products. That aside, these table are a good deal for the money and they do look great. I would recommend these to others.
I really love these end tables. So many friends have complimented on them. They are very modern and look awesome!
These tables are a great buy. They arrived exactly like what is posted on the website. Highly recommended!
I ordered two sets of these for my daughters wedding reception and used them with four white leather sofas for a seating area! There was always someone seated there and the tables were a great place to set their drinks! Very nice quality and fantastic price!
is beautiful end table and light weight , easy to clean.
I've had these in for a couple of weeks and really love the look. No problems so far.
Tables look great upon arrival, easy to put together. Look like they cost way more than they do. Very happy.
We looked all over New York and on line for nesting tables but none of them were attractive enough until we saw these. When they came they were just as pictured and very well made. We are very pleased with them.
