LECOM students check out some of the poster presentations at LECOM Research Day.
The Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine held its annual research day on Thursday, October 21, 2010. The event is a way for LECOM to highlight and emphasize the fact that important research is being conducted at the college on an ongoing basis. Bertalan Dudas, MD, PhD, LECOM's Director of Research, said it is important for students and residents to do research and write about their findings. "If they are applying for competitive residencies, they need to do research," Dr. Dudas said. "It helps them tremendously. It's just as important as having good board scores."
The event was a culmination of months of medical research conducted by students and medical residents. Fifty researchers presented their findings through oral presentations or poster displays. LECOM faculty members judged the entries and awarded prizes to the top three entries in each category. The competition was open to LECOM students, students from LECOM-affiliated colleges and universities, and medical residents and interns.

Dr. Dudas said when a student or resident participates in LECOM's Research Day, it counts toward being published. Researchers covered a wide range of medical and environmental topics ranging from knee injuries in diabetics to treating low back pain and the prevalence of Lyme disease in ticks at Presque Isle State Park. There were 39 poster displays and 11 oral presentations.
Maureen Darwal, a second year medical student at LECOM, looked at alternate ways to stabilize the spine. She attached a digital protractor to the handle of a surgical screwdriver. Darwal concluded using the tool can save hospitals money and expose patients to less radiation during x-rays and CT scans. She said doing the project was a great learning experience for her. "Even though I previously did this research I wouldn't have ever put it together in a presentation form and come to a conclusion on how it was going to affect patients," she said.
|Adam Cien (OMS3) shows his research poster to LECOM Assistant Neuroscience & Pharmacology Professor Emmanuel Ngu, PhD during LECOM's Research Day.
Third-year LECOM medical student Adam Cien studied low back pain and disk degeneration. He experimented with molecules that can regenerate intervertebral disk cells under the right conditions. Cien said his goal was to find ways to reverse disk degeneration and low back pain. This is the second year he participated in LECOM Research Day. "With research you're able to expand your horizons into what you've learned in the classroom," Cien said, "It's a real-life approach to the science."

Helping teachers work SMARTER not harder
Because Teachers Matter! Happy teachers make better educators for our students
Did you know teachers can be involved in a thousand interpersonal connections a day. The quality of these interactions can either diminish or enhance wellbeing. The great news is that Positive Psychology is providing us with specific strategies that are supported with research.
Teacher Wellbeing gives you strategies to not only survive but THRIVE
As an experienced & passionate educator having worked with thousands of people across Australia in all forms of education, I know what it is like to repeat the same conversations with students each day, manage individual staff needs each week, and deal with challenging parents, not to mention the endless admin as well. It would seem like the "to-do" list never ended. From public schools, to private schools, Steiner schools, universities, colleges & working in outdoor education, I have seen and heard it all…. the stories are much the same. The one constant I see is high teacher demands resulting in poor teacher wellbeing.
John Hattie links teacher motivation to student achievement;
"When teachers become burned out, or worn out, their students' achievement outcomes are likely to suffer because they are more concerned with their personal survival." (Hattie, 2013)
Teachers themselves agree, reporting in a survey by Wellbeing Australia (2011), where 96% of teachers agreed that a focus on teacher wellbeing promoted student wellbeing (Sue Rofey, 2012)
The bottom line is, the demands on teachers have increased. If teachers have strategies to support their wellbeing , they will be better placed to manage every day stressors of the job to not only survive but flourish. In doing say, they become better role models and educators for our students
At Teacher Wellbeing I bring together many tools in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Positive Psychology, Coaching Psychology, Transformational Psychology, Anthroposophy, Emotional Intelligence and more, to show you how you can have better worke-life balance.
With powerful, well researched strategies to;
- Monitor your thinking
- Support your emotions
- Strengthen your body
- Reconnect to you spirit and soul purpose

How do enterovirulent E. coli groups cause disease?
In general, all EEC groups cause disease by disruption of the normal secretory mechanisms of the intestines which leads to diarrhea. As outlined previously, different groups use different methods that ultimately results in diarrhea; the type of diarrhea and the intensity of the disease are related to the mechanisms used by the bacteria.
When should one seek medical care for enterovirulent E. coli infection?
Many people (the large majority) do not need to seek medical care as most of the infections are self-limiting, unless the affected individual is immunodepressed or is an undernourished child in a third world country. Because a number of patients are children; their progress in self-limiting the disease needs to be carefully watched as they can, in some instances, rapidly deteriorate. This is the situation for all the EEC groups. Most infected individuals, unless diagnosed, will not even know they are infected with EEC since many bacterial and viral diseases have similar symptoms of nausea, low-grade fever, and diarrhea.
Many health care professionals suggest that affected individuals should seek medical care if:

Customer Raves & Reviews
even better than i had pictured myself
I loved my save the date magnets but I was really nervous about buying invitations online without seeing them. I made several edits and the designer sent me proofs and my invitations arrived yesterday. I am beyond thrilled with how beautiful they are. My expectations were exceeded by far, they are beautiful and of such quality and done to my exact specifications. I cant get them in the mail to my friends and family fast enough. So so happy!!!
Very Classy
This card arrived in the amount of time expected. It was on thick cardstock and looked just like the pictures. They were beautiful. I did have some trouble with the sizing of the letters and the placement of certain parts of the invitation. There was not ample amounts of space if you are looking for the traditionally worded invitation (all numbers spelled out into words, both sets of parents...etc.). However, these are great if you plan on using enclosure cards!
Fancy Invites
I could not be happier, the colors that I chose are so vibrant, the texture of the paper and quality of the printing is amazing. I was worried that my invitations would look cheap and look like I designed them on the net, but they look professional. Whenever I had a concern there was always someone to address it, even at 11:30 at night. I am very greatful and look forward to using Magnet Street's services in the future. Thank you!!!
Beautiful and simple!
So easy to customize with your own colors. Fast shipping too!
This product was perfect to go with the invitations. The program online allowed me to make the layout exactly as I wanted it. Love the initials in the top corner. Only with the purple accents I made in the program were less dark. I chose a bright purple accent and it looks almost black.

ZELIM NEL, in SA Rugby magazine, examines how the new law interpretations have reduced the impact of fetchers at the breakdown.
A decade after possession-pilfering openside flankers exploded on to the professional scene, the pursuit of a different kind of turnover appears to be chasing fetchers to the brink of extinction. Short wheelbase fetchers are inadvertently being phased out of rugby by administrators who believe it is far easier to sell a game that celebrates fleet-footed try-scorers than one dominated by stubborn defence.
The objective of the law interpretations introduced at the beginning of the season was to promote a high-scoring game by making it increasingly difficult for defenders to halt the attacking team's progress.
This new focus by the referees has effectively prohibited the tackler from retrieving possession, given that he must first release the carrier once grounded, regain his feet, and then 'show clear daylight' between himself and the downed runner, before having a go at the ball. And all of this before the first cleaner arrives to create a ruck. It's a checklist that would have had Neil Armstrong squinting at the Apollo 11 console.
Western Province senior professional coach and former Springbok flanker Rassie Erasmus agrees that the need for specialist fetchers is consequently waning.
'A guy who can only clean and steal the ball has become less important in a team than he was perhaps two years ago.'
Fetchers didn't even exist until after rugby turned professional 14 years ago.
'When I was playing for Free State in the mid-90s, we didn't have a specific guy to fetch,' says Erasmus, who played 36 Tests for the Boks between 1997 and 2001. 'The perfect loose trio was one that played to the ball. And by that I don't mean that they fetched the ball, I mean that they were there as the first cleaners on attack, and there to make the first tackle on defence.'
That's how former Bok captain Corné Krige remembers it too.
'In those days, creating a turnover was a collective effort to drive over the ball. You had to bind on to your team-mates and hit the ruck as a unit, and then try to blow over the ball. Most of the time the idea was not to commit to the ruck, but rather just to get back to your feet and fan out to make a defensive line.'
The Paarl Boys loose forward started at the back of the scrum but his Jack Russell compulsion to follow the ball soon saw him redeployed to the openside flank.
'At school I played No 8 and I never fell back to catch the long kicks,' says Krige with a laugh. 'I was always playing to the ball because playing fetcher was a natural style for me. I'd run straight to the first breakdown, and then the next one and so on. That's probably why they changed me to openside at U21 level.'
Krige played 39 Tests between 1999 and 2003 and was arguably South Africa's first out-and-out fetcher, but he credits a New Zealander for introducing him to 'the game within the game'.
'Josh Kronfeld changed the face of rugby in the late-90s,' Krige says of the former All Blacks flanker. 'He would make a tackle, get up on the wrong side of the tackle, steal the ball and throw it to his peers, and everybody sat up and said "what was that?"'
Up until the early-noughties, the laws relating to the breakdown were more loosely policed than they are today, and Kronfeld's relatively diminutive stature (1.85m, 95kg) gave him the required low centre of gravity to win the race for the ball on the ground.
Brumbies coach Eddie Jones soon picked up on the trend in 2000 and, having recognised the latent potential in a 1.80m, 100kg flanker by the name of George Smith, he set about designing a defensive plan around the 21-year-old rookie's spectacular penchant for pinching possession.
'Having a fetcher like George in defence meant that we could target a phase where we felt that the opposition was most vulnerable,' says Jones.
With Smith's skill set featured in Jones's defensive system, Super Rugby's bottom-feeders streaked to their first final in 2000, winning a championship the following season, and the pair applied the same blueprint to help the Wallabies to the 2003 Tri-Nations title.
'You had to start planning around openside flankers,' remembers Krige. 'If you played against George Smith he was testing you at every ruck, and you'd rather commit too many than not enough, because he would steal the ball if you weren't accurate.'
And so structured rugby was born as coaches began scripting which players would support the ball-carrier through a number of phases in an effort to minimise turnovers at the hands of opposing fetchers.
'Rugby did become a lot more structured where every team started having set ball-carriers and set cleaners, and guys going around in pods to different places on the field,' says Krige. 'That was to ensure that you never had a situation where the ball-carrier was short of supporters to clean out.'
But even the most structured attacking play couldn't always contain players like Smith, Phil Waugh, Marty Holah, David Croft or the irrepressible Richie McCaw.
Squat opensiders harnessed their short levers, perfecting the ride tackle by riding the ball-carrier to ground like a lassoed bull, and using the momentum of the tackle to swing back to their feet, ready to snatch the ball as it was placed.
Fetchers immediately began to pose a prohibitive risk to continuity and possession-based rugby. Such ball-hawks proved to be handfuls at the tackle point, forcing teams of cleaners to account for the threat, and as a result they provided the defensive line with a constant numerical advantage.
Coupled with the tendency of the referee to penalise the attacking side the longer they held on to the ball, most coaches soon reverted to investing their resources in a territory-based philosophy which handed possession – and therefore risk – to the opposing team.
The Bulls dominated the Currie Cup during the middle of this decade and won three of the last four Super 14 titles with stifling pressure tactics that inevitably became the modus operandi for the 2007 World Cup-winning Springboks under Jake White.
Heinrich Brüssow rammed the point home against the gallivanting British & Irish Lions during last year's tour of South Africa. The staunch Cheetahs fetcher repeatedly turned the expansive Lions over during his side's close-fought 26-24 reverse against the tourists and again spoilt the visitors' attacking plans for much of the three-Test series against the Boks.
At 1.81m and 101kg, Brüssow is built for the ground game, and he has fine-tuned the ability to get position on the ball immediately after the tackle so that the cleaners blast him back to his team's side of the tackle.
But the 24-year-old Cheetahs fetcher saw enough of the new law interpretations during his brief stint in this year's Super 14 – before suffering a season-ending knee injury in March – to know that his role will be radically different when he returns in 2011.
'The rules are very strict, and they make the margin work more against you, which means you have to be more technical and precise, and your decision-making has to be a lot better,' says Brüssow. 'The tackler can't steal the ball, so you have to take yourself out of a position to tackle.'
Brüssow's admission is a massive blow to pint-sized fetchers. If the player with the best opportunity to pinch possession is now the second defender to arrive on the scene, why pick a stubby flanker when you can field a 1.93m, 112kg bruiser whose lineout and ball-carrying ability compensate for a slightly weaker ground game?
The fact that the turnover battle no longer pivots around the tackler's ability to get to his feet quickly, but rather the momentum he brings in making a dominant hit, reinforces White's assertion that bigger is better, and that fetchers belong near the bar fridge.
In Smith's day, fetchers could single-handedly steal possession, making their influence on the outcome of a game decisive. But this season, matches have been won and lost at the gain line where stopping the ball-carrier's momentum in the tackle has replaced lone-wolf turnovers as the common thread in successful sides.
'Momentum is everything in this game, and if you don't get it it's hard to get points,' says coach John Plumtree, whose Sharks topped the Currie Cup log with a competition-high 62 tries this season.
'Nowadays, teams seldom have a specialised fetcher,' says Erasmus. 'Just look at our loose trio at the Stormers – Schalk is on the openside but he plays the situation like a No 8, Francois Louw is our fetcher and he's on the blindside, and Duane Vermeulen is our momentum-getter from eight.
The Stormers management team were far quicker to predict the effects of, and adapt to, the new interpretations than their bumbling Bok counterparts. And this explains why Louw – who fed off Burger and Vermeulen's driving tackles within a savvy Stormers defensive system during the Super 14 – found himself isolated behind a retreating Bok pack.
Erasmus believes that the versatility of the Stormers loose trio – all three players are more than capable with the ball in hand, at the lineout, in the tackle and at the breakdown – was instrumental in the team's success this year, and that the new focus has necessitated a more collective approach to fetching.
'If the law interpretations mean that refs are going to penalise the defensive team more, and you teach your one guy to run around the field and steal at rucks, he's going to open holes in your defensive line.'
Does this spell the end of the fetcher?
'I certainly hope not!' says Smith, who is plying his trade with French club Toulon. 'As a traditional No 7 I think there is still a place for them, you can see how they can change a game when they're the first man to the ruck.
'You still have fetchers today like David Pocock and Richie McCaw who have adapted really well to reacting quickly after making the tackle.'
Brüssow also isn't about to join the unemployment queue.
'I think you can still make a lot of steals close to the rucks, it's just out wide where you'll have to make your tackles.'
But the Bloemfontein ball-hawk will have to man up and dominate those tackles in 2011 to prove that vertically-challenged fetchers haven't been made redundant.

MAURY — Forming a band isn't just a matter of finding a variety of singers and musicians and putting them together. The way they harmonize together just has to click.
At least that's what Brian Stark has concluded.
After the death of a friend, Stark, 44, was one of a group helping that friend's wife remodel her house. One of them, Ray Lota of Raleigh, was playing guitar. They sang a song together.
"We sang 'If you could only see" by Tonic," he said. "… We looked at each other and said, 'This sounds pretty good.' "
That realization led to hours of practice and an opportunity to play regularly at a gig in Snow Hill.
"We found out we had similar musical tastes," Stark said, "and our voices singing together matched very well."
There was open mic night that weekend at the former Cheryl's Place and they started with a list of songs that has grown into a large book.
They were a hit and were asked to come back. They had that magic when they sang together, where they "hit that groove," knowing where the music would take them, he said.
To come up with a band name, they posted a request for suggestions on Facebook. A friend, Jim Gianolis of Boston, Mass., came up with the name StarkRayvenMad — encompassing both their names in it.
Stark was so excited about the name, he bought business cards and T-shirts with the name stamped on them.
Ray had a friend, Art Jeavons of Kitty Hawk, who wanted to play guitar with the two of them. He didn't make it to their practice session, but showed up at Cheryl's, looked briefly at the song list and casually said he could do that.
"I thought to myself, 'That's kind of cocky,' " Stark said. "He started playing and I almost fell out of my chair because he's just so good. … He's not just a guy that's plays in his living room, like I do."
They planned to play 40 songs for three hours the next weekend.
"And we ended up playing from 6 o'clock until, like, one in the morning," Stark said, "virtually every song that we knew."
When Cheryl's closed Dec. 21, their professional appearances ended, temporarily. Stark said Cheryl's may be reopening in another venue, and he's been asked to bring in musicians.
StarkRayvenMad plans to return, as well as search out other venues, but possibly with a new guitarist. Stark, once intimidated by the instrument, has been practicing his acoustic guitar with its dark hole in the center looking to him like an eye.
"Where I sit," he said with a whimsical smile, "I can see the eye looking at me, telling me 'How dare you buy me and not play me.' "
Stark also plays percussion, having started with drums in high school. He was lead vocalist in a band that played at school dances and parties in New Hampshire.
"I was the only one with guts to sing in front of people," he said.
Growing up, his family traveled quite a bit. Walstonburg was home to him and his parents, Mary and the late Daniel Stark.
Stark said singing and playing music is what he loves to do.
"To me, there's no better feeling than the synchronicity that you get when three people are singing and playing," he said. "It's like a dream to me."

Sparkling Wines
Brut Classic
Brut Classic presents full flavors that move seamlessly across the palate.
Aging Profile: Minimum of 12 months on the yeast
89 Points Wine Spectator, December 2011
90 Points Wine Enthusiast, December 2009
In keeping with the style we established more than thirty years ago, Chandon has captured the expression of Californa's vineyards in Brut Classic. Made using méthode traditionnelle, this wine goes through second fermentation in the bottle and is made from the traditional Champagne varieties of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Our house signature style, Chandon Brut Classic consistently displays apple and pear flavors and aromas with a hint of spice that leads to a soft, dry finish. To ensure the continuity of style and quality that has made Chandon one of America's classic sparkling wines, our Brut Classic is blended with ten to twenty percent Reserve wines from prior harvests.
Tasting Notes
Classic balance typifies this refreshingly soft, yet dry wine. The wine delivers complex apple and pear characteristics accented by citrus spice over notes of almond and caramel in the bouquet. When you taste Brut Classic, look for nutty flavors with hints of brioche that build to a refreshingly dry finish.
Food and Wine Pairing
Winemaker Tom Tiburzi recommends serving Chandon Brut Classic to refresh the palate when eating salty, creamy, or nutty foods such as Caesar salad, fried calamari, oysters, or fresh sashimi and sushi.

The Cheetahs are good enough to beat the Brumbies in Canberra.
They travel to Australia with more than just hope.
The Cheetahs have not lost to an Australian team this season and should not have lost to the Brumbies in Canberra a year ago.
The Brumbies beat the Cheetahs through a last minute penalty in a Super Rugby league fixture in 2012 and the two teams did not meet in this year's competition.
Australian fields, though, have been to the Cheetahs liking in 2013 and the side were brave in beating the Waratahs by a point and defending for most of the match against the Force in Perth before sealing a dramatic late win.
In Bloemfontein defence was decisive in rolling the Reds and attack was the pillar of their romp against the Rebels.
The Brumbies are the best of the Australian sides and Brumbies and former Springbok coach Jake White will have to be at his tactical best to beat off the challenge of the Brumbies.
The breakdown will be a final of its own with Brumbies veteran George Smith up against Springbok Heinrich Brussow.
Brussow will have to be influential and the Cheetahs forwards will have to boss the collisions to beat the Brumbies. Both sides have outstanding outside backs but whoever rules the breakdown will rule the match.
It is why the Cheetahs will have belief that playing in Canberra on Sunday is not mission impossible.
The team this year has travelled with more success than at any stage of franchise's history.
Beating the Brumbies will get the Cheetahs a first ever semi-final and significantly a first ever clean sweep against all five Australian franchises in one season.
The Reds, having already made history in beating the four New Zealand franchises they played in the league stage, can also do a Cheetahs and add an unprecedented fifth to their season in beating the Crusaders in Christchurch on Saturday.
The Reds, who have not played the Crusaders this season, have won three of their four matches against the Crusaders during Ewen McKenzie's tenure. Among those wins was the 2011 Super Rugby final.

I have been participating in Coke's "My Coke Rewards" program for more than a year now. Basically, all I do is enter codes from Coke products at their Web site. You earn points for each code. When you have enough points, you can redeem them for various products -- everything from Coke products to Gift Cards to magazine subscriptions to a wide range of miscellaneous stuff. Since I already drink Coke, I already have the codes, and it just takes a minute or two once or twice a week to enter them. Coke asks nothing else of me.
Every now and then, in addition to accumulating points, you can randomly Win prizes, like Coke products, extra points, and even cash. For doing nothing but entering codes, one night I won two $50 certificates I could use at a wide variety of stores, from Meijer to Kmart to Wal-Mart to Barnes & Noble. (I used them at two stores, without a hitch.)
A couple of weeks before Christmas, I decided to redeem some of my points for a cool little item. This was the first time I redeemed any points. All I did was click on the item I wanted, and that was it. (The Web site already had my name and address from when I registered.)
They sent me an email showing what I had ordered and when it should arrive. They kept the shipment's status current on the Web site. Then one day, there it was -- my prize for participating in the program. I was especially pleased, and even a little surprised, that it arrived in time for Christmas. Since then, I have ordered two more items on two separate occasions. When I have the points, I click on what I want, then *poof* it arrives.
What intrigues me the most is how efficient they are. There's no tricky Web sites to maneuver where they try to get me to buy other stuff or sign up for questionable deals. I just click on something and it is sent straight to me. I think it's nice to see something work exactly as you wish it would work. Bravo to Coke -- the Greatest Soft Drink of All Time!
INDIANA -- OK, to start... This is about Coke. May I mention my husband LOVES Coke Zero and was once addicted to Coke (regular). When this was occurring he had gotten a "bad batch" of Coke and it contained no sugars or any flavor whatsoever... This can eat away your esophagus - if you think I am lying GOOGLE it! They were ready to send him to the hospital over this. Thank god it worked out in his favor and was not harmed. With that said, he has since changed to Coke zero. Nothing to do with the incident of course.
So I decide that I wanted to write them and tell them how loyal he is to their product and ask for coupons. Not that they needed to be for free, for us, but even offered to request them for the displays at the local grocery chain since I have never seen them there EVER! When I did this they replied NO. To look in my local paper for coupons.
I get that lots of people look for a hand out, but in this case selfishness was not a factor. How can such a huge company reject to offer to give even a grocery chain coupons? This is brand loyalty here. I am talking us alone, a case, not a 20 pack, a case a week for one person. This isn't including the water, the beverages and other things purchased from Coke. WHAT a SHAME! I am not purchasing Coke because of this.
A great example of great customer service does not come from being greedy, it comes from a simple thank you for being loyal. Here is a $.50 coupon from us. We are far from greedy, we are not takers, and we don't even send our food back at a restaurant because things happen. To be told look in your paper to me is like being told to join Facebook so you can look at a particular website! No thanks. A customer lost Coke. Many to follow with customer service like that!!!
CLEARWATER, FLORIDA -- I brought this sandwich shop almost a year and being coca cola customer because we have their cooler from the former owner. I placed an order one every two weeks. Last year I placed the order in September, never received products and no one ever called and check about our order. Even the sale guy in our area never return my call. From that point I've stopped ordering from them over 6 months. April 2015 I got a call from coca cola asked that why we haven't order from them. I told them what happened of course they apologized and sent the sale guy back that I haven't seen him over 6 months. He apologized this and that by the way I was buying their products from SAMs club or restaurant depot instead and it's actually cheaper than coca cola itself. Anyway I forgave them thought that it might be a mistake or whatever. I'm back ordering from them again for the first time in pass 6 months. I got my order. I felt better that they took care of me.
Then this week I put another order guess what??? Never received it again!!!! I called their customer service and it said not available. I'm beyond mad! I also call the sale guy and left the message, still he hasn't return my call.
What's wrong with coca cola??? Why their customer service is going down hill?
Does the big company treats their customer like this??
So unprofessional, and neglect their customer big time. And let me tell you their price is high too! Not making any sense!!!
At this point I'm over it! They don't want any business so that's it! And I'll make sure that I will tell everybody about their irresponsible and unprofessional customer service. Coca cola, never again!!
ATLANTA, GEORGIA -- Coke has unfairly locked my mycokerewards account on 6/28/07 and has insisted I violated the terms & conditions by opening more than one account. They also stated that referral accounts had used promotional codes and they awarded my account points for the referral and this too is a violation. I contacted Coke and stated I did none of the violating issues. Coke replied they would investigate and they replied the account would remain locked. After several attempts to get the account unlocked I filed complaints with the BBB - Atlanta, the attorney generals office and the federal trade commission. Coke replied after the BBB deadline expired with a repeat of the reply I received stating; I had violated the terms & conditions. Coke has opened other accounts locked with similar issues as found in several forums. Coke has a double standard going since there was a system glitch that allowed others to break the terms & conditions by entering more than 10 codes per day. The glitch allowed unlimited code entries for a few hours one day in late July. A concerned participant called and asked if Coke was going to lock accounts that had exploited this system glitch and Coke replied they would not lock those accounts. This is a direct violation of the terms & conditions and a double standard. Coke in my opinion is a very horrible company when it comes to the customers who buy there products. They have punished me and others by locking accounts that had many points from continuing in the program. I had 3987 points in my account when they locked it others had 6000 plus points. Coke started this rewards program as a loyalty program encouraging the purchase of there product with prizes for those that did so. I bought many, many dollars worth of there product, took a year to enter the codes, save the caps per the rules and then when I get close to a larger prize they lock the account and take the points away. This is a very unfair practice that should not be supported. I strongly urge Coke customers to put themselves in my shoes and evaluate if they too want to support a company with these unfair practices. I have stopped purchasing ALL Coke products and have avoided businesses that have Coke as a main product. I voice my story and dislike for cokes actions at every chance possible and have asked others to help stop these practices by banning Coke and stop buying ALL Coke products.
This is a small problem that does not affect anyone else. When it come to any single person trying to change the practices of a company as large as Coke it take others to come help. Please help call Coke and share you voice to help,write a letter or stop buying Coke products. All of these will help. If you have had your rewards account locked please file with the agencies as I have. It takes numbers before Coke will take us seriously.
Best Regards,
update 8/10/07
Coke is losing customers. I have been speaking out about Coke being unfair with regard to the account locking and have found many others with the same situation. Many people I speak with are outraged and have agreed to stop buying Coke products and are very supportive, willing to pass my story onto others. I had a reply from Coke stating the same reply that has come with every reply (it is a generic reply) and the BBB waiting for a second reply to my "NO acceptance" to the first response from Coke. I will update when I have more from either complaint or Coke.
I invite a Coke Executive to reply here or to contact me since I did contact the corporate office asking them to reply yet I got a generic email from a program support associate, not what I expected from a contact us form at the corporate level. I expected a supervisor or higher to reply or call. Total XCokeCustomers to date = 47 and rising (hopefully a few Coke contract renewal cancelations).
Best Regards,
update 8/13/07
I just received the final reply from the BBB and it listed the complaint as administrativly closed and has the following statement: "BBB determined that despite the company's reasonable effort to address complaint issues, the consumer remained dissatisfied."
Coke was late on the deadline response date and did not offer and resolution how can they say they tried to address the complaint?
If anyone does get wind of a lawsuit count me in...
I am having a great time speaking out about this rewards program and have many that have switch products already. It's funny when at a fountain machine one couple that filled up with Cke even dumped it out and opted to refill with Pepsi. I thanked them and hope others do the same. Good buy Coke!
Best of Luck,
Updated 8/23/07
Coke has still insisted I violated the rules and others have been found in violation yet Coke unlocked their accounts. I guess Coke really does not have an ethical bone in the company since they have themselves violated the terms and conditionsa along with a pick and choose attitude about whose accounts will remain locked and who's will get unlocked. I even see that there are uncirculated Coke caps listed on eBay for sale. This fits with one of the replies below that state Coke employees are selling codes on eBay. Now that's company ethics in the highest sense. COKE I WANT A Wii SYSTEM and will continue to nix Coke product sales until I either receive a Wii or the account is unlocked and compensating points awarded. From what I read others have stopped buying Coke products since Coke has locked their accounts too. I saw a Coke truck at a local school so I guess I will have to go convince the school board that soda is bad for the kids and as a tax payer in the public school district see if I can get Coke out of the school. Seems fair to me, locked account = locked out of a public school soft drink contract, hey Coke what are your thoughts?
Best Wishes,
Updated 9/4/07
Well I have to tell everyone that Coke is absolutely the worst company on earth to deal with. After they locked my account and many, many attempts to contact and resolve the issue Coke is still insisting I violated the rules. I have been getting emails from Coke stating my points are about to expire and to loggin and enter codes to keep this from happening. This is pure agony Coke keeps me from logging in yet sends harassing reminders that they not only took the points but don't let them expire. Coke must have a hard time sleeping at night, screwing innocent people as they have with the mycokerewards loyalty program. Well Coke wins... That is they will never have to deal with me, my family, my relatives and everyone else I can convince not to purchase their products. I urge everyone to stop buying from a company that will not work with any consumer that has an issue only the company can resolve. In my case my identity was used to open a duplicate account. My account was used to refer three legit accounts who usedpromo codes which Coke states is against the rules. I have all along denied this and Coke insists I did this. I would not have continued to contact Coke, file complaints and place so much time into the issue if I had truly done what Coke says I did. Coke is an awful company in which I in my own opinion hopes will fall on hard times begging the customers to come back and buy their products. I assure you I will be first in line to buy the competitions product in hopes Coke will fall off the list of soft drink giants. Good luck Coca-cola I bid you all the best in your endevours to remain a giant. In time a grassroots effort will sly the giant, good luck Coke.
Best wishes to anyone still stuck in Coke HELL. I am in Pepsi heaven.
I have enjoyed Coke's My Coke Rewards program for some time now.
Three months ago, I attempted to redeem 400 points for a customized deck of cards. The My Coke Rewards site took my 400 points and gave me a code to use at a third-party site to get the cards.
I followed the links from Coke's email that would first give my 400 points to the third-party site, then send me into the site to create and claim the cards.
But there was a snag somewhere along the way: My points were taken, but the site did not allow me further into it to create the cards. After figuring out how to get further into the site, I discovered it was still waiting for me to enter the Coke code.
So I got the code again and pasted it into the third-party site. I was then told the code was invalid because it had already been used.
Okay, so I contacted the third-party site, and they explained I needed to contact Coke. So I contacted Coke through the My Coke Rewards site, and received a canned response that said they were updating their systems and would respond to my issue within 7-10 days.
Fine. I waited two weeks, and since I had no response, I contacted them again, this time pasting my original request and their original response. Again I received the canned message: "We'll respond within 7-10 days."
Fine. I waited two more weeks, and the same thing happened -- and still no response.
I have tried contacting Coke through other channels outside of the My Coke Rewards site, but to date, have received no response.
This is quite sad. It takes a long time to get 400 points through the My Coke Rewards program (that's more than 130 single bottles of Coke), but for a company as stellar as Coke is, to be blown off like this is just bad form.
My lesson learned? I don't know, maybe register on any third-party sites before going through the My Coke Rewards site, but who knew that is what was going to happen? I didn't know I was going to be redirected to the other site until it was happening.
I can't think of a lesson learned, other than sometimes even the best of the companies screw up. It's just a crying shame when they won't even RESPOND.
This is the first time I ever attempted to contact Coke about anything -- perhaps they are just another great big company who doesn't care about its customers. They sure act this way.
And before anyone tells me that it is a free program and I get free stuff, so I have no legitimate complaint -- rubbish! I purchase Coke specifically for the points. The program is doing what it is designed to do -- get me to buy more Cokes. It's just that in this case, they are not honoring their end of the deal.
Give me a Pepsi.
OHIO -- I have been drinking Diet Coke for years with no problem. Then a couple years ago I started getting nausiated during the day. I have been to the doctor and had some expensive tests run and nothing was wrong thank goodness. A sorority sister told me that her husband was getting sick from Diet Coke and switched to Diet Pepsi and hasn't been sick. I have tried it for just thess days and the last two days haven't gotten sick. Was an ingredient changed or what happened to the Diet Coke. I have hears others are getting sick. My daughter in FL says she cannot drink it anymore.
I love my Coke and I drink it everyday. But, I have now found reason to make an official complaint about my favorite pop (POP! Not soda...just pop...P-O-P...POP).
They've come out with a new design for their 2 liter bottles. It's more of the shape of the old glass Coke bottles(according to my Much Older Brother's memory), which would be just fine...BUT, not they are a bit taller and I had to adjust the shelf in my refrigerator just to be able to set it upright. OK, no big deal you say, but now that makes my other shelf space much smaller and I have to lay my Miracle Whip jar down and put my pickle jars on the door shelf and re-arrange my entire fridge! Not only are the bottles taller, but the plastic they are made of seems much thinner. If you try to grasp it to pour the pop, the bottle collapse right in your hand and if the bottle is full, your grasp will force a waterfall to spurt out all over!
Now...for the 20 ounce sized bottles. They have changed the screw on lids. Now, they are smaller so you can't get much of a grip on it, they are smoother so, again, you can't get much of a grip on it to turn...on top of that, you have to play around with the lid to get it to screw back on straight because it won't happen the first one, two or three times without it going on crooked.
The only complaint I had with the old 2 liter bottles was that the bottom of them were not flat I had to place it just right on the fridge racks so they would balance.
No, I'm not going to 'boycott' the company and I'm not going to turn to Poopsi either...I want my Coke, I'm just not happy with the bottles.
The Basher has spoken.
It was difficult for me to order my magazine from the Coke rewards program. It sent me to another website to enter my code. When I went to the website, there was nowhere to enter a digital code, instead there were only things to read about their site, no entry.
GREENWOOD, INDIANA -- To whom it may concern. I recently bought a six pack of diet Coke in the glass bottles. upon opening one I took a drink and it was flat. This really disapointed me for I love these glass bottles and can only find the diet ones at one store in my area which is about 20 miles away from where I live. I just wanted to let you know.
Thank you for your time.
Kathy Cook
This evening with I was reaching into a 24 pack for a can of Coke, I was surprised to head a ting, not the sound of 2 cans hitting each other, but the sound of a solid metal clanging against the can. I pulled out a 1 1/2 inch self tapping screw, Possibly from some type of packaging machine. I am not looking for compensation as I really don't find this to be a huge issue, just a little concerned. I am looking for an e-mail address for Coke, but I am only finding the mailing address. Can anyone help?

I haven't really played in the past two years and one of my resolutions is to reboot this year. I'd say that in the past two years I MAYBE played ten full rounds of disc golf. I plan on doing a whole lot of playing and nothing that even resembles work (so don't ask *wink*). The newest disc mold in my bag is an Xcaliber. I've yet to throw an Ape, Archon, Dominator, Krait, Mamba, TeeDevil, Vulcan, or Wahoo.
I went out and threw yesterday and I haven't really lost my distance. I'd say I'm hitting 500' to 550' pretty consistantly. Do I need to try any of these or will my Destroyers and Xcalibers still get me where I need to go? I'm curious about this Roc3 too since there are never less than three Rocs in my bag.
EDIT: Oh yeah...if you have suggestion please keep them Innova only. I'm a little anal in that sense.

Comments about Dimension Hi-Ten Fork:
I ordered this for an old road S/S conversion I was doing. I was surprised of the finish and quality for a new fork for under 30 bucks. Its well finished and looks great. I used a 700c wheel but did not use a brake. If i did i would have to use a long reach caliper.
For the money i would def recommend. Just wish they made a 700c size option.

JON CARDINELLI watched the Stormers win 16-14 at Newlands by virtue of a commanding first-half performance.
The Stormers second-half effort was nothing short of shambolic. After leading 16-0 after 40 minutes, after physically dominating the Cheetahs to an overwhelming degree, they conspired to concede the advantage and very nearly the result.
The platform was there for the four-try bonus point they had been searching for all season. Their lineout was functioning beautifully, as was their rolling maul.
Their physicality at the collisions and scrums was putting the Cheetahs on the back foot, and flyhalf Peter Grant was knocking penalties over from all angles.
The confidence with ball-in-hand was apparent, as Jean de Villiers turned down a kickable penalty in the 23rd minute and instructed Joe Pietersen to boot the ball to touch. The Stormers then powered though the phases with Eben Etzebeth bursting through from close range for the game's first try.
But instead of capitalising on a commanding lead, the Stormers allowed the Cheetahs to fight their way back. Literally.
The visitors produced a more physical effort in the second stanza, and managed to niggle and unsettle the Stormers forwards. While it was the Cheetahs who were guilty of poor discipline in the first 40, the Stormers were the sloppier of the two teams in the second.
Hennie Daniller crashed over in the left-hand corner after 48 minutes, and a difficult conversion by reserve flyhalf Riaan Smit brought the score to 16-7.
Starting No 10 Sias Ebersohn had struggled in the first half, and Smit seemed to play with more confidence and lend the visitors more direction in the later stages of the game.
The game was stopped in the 54th minute when both teams were involved in a full-scale brawl. Referee Steve Walsh put the entire incident on a white card, and also sent Stormers flank Rynhardt Elstadt to the bin for his role in the scuffle.
But now it was the Cheetahs' turn to waste a great opportunity. They turned down a shot at goal, and then conceded possession several phases later. It was here that the Stormers' characteristic defence came into play and denied the Cheetahs what could have been a game-changing score.
Willie le Roux snatched an intercept try in the 67th minute, and another fantastic conversion by Smit reduced the deficit to two points. It set up a dramatic final 13 minutes, and it was here that the Stormers struggled to escape from their own half, a range of poor tactical kicks allowing the Cheetahs to send wave after wave after attack into Stormers territory.
Fortunately for the hosts, the Cheetahs panicked with ball in hand, forcing the pass or taking the wrong option and eventually conceding possession.
The Stormers finally managed to get some territory, and while they battled to control the ball, they remained in the opposition half for the last five minutes of the game.
It will go down as another win for the Stormers, but they will know that they blew a golden opportunity to bank the four-try bonus.
The manner in which they smashed the Cheetahs up front in the first half and bossed territory and possession was encouraging. If they had maintained their concentration for the entire second stanza, they would have racked up four tries quite comfortably.
Because of their inconsistency, they will remain in second place in the South African conference and fourth on the overall log for another week yet.

I like what I've seen so far.....lol.
But the interesting thing will be to see if Austin Rivers turns out to be a scrub or not.
It won't be long now! Soon we engage in some season long basketball talk.My observations and comments as I see the Hornets perform this year.
1-What does not move is dead.What has speed,and mobilty has more possibilities,more life...quickness creates luck.
2- Your Defense is only as good as your HELP/ROTATING defenders.
3-Games are won while the ball is in the air.
4- You design your roster to win a 7 game series not a one game confrontation.
I like what I've seen so far.....lol.
But the interesting thing will be to see if Austin Rivers turns out to be a scrub or not.
I don't think I've ever been this excited about the season starting. 2Weeks!
The season needs to come fast. This part of the off season is what I like to call "dry season" no news worth looking at at all. Cant wait for AD23!!!!
random question, but who else thinks people are overreacting to the saints 0-2 record? The defense looks horrific but our offenses put up 27 points. Get spags new system down and we've got ourselves another playoffs season
The Good Music album will help speed up the time, followed by Kendrick Lamar and PA4. So back to Kid Cudi-Creepers I go while time fly by.
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
I just wish people would give him a chance. I know that he probably won't set the world on fire this year, and I'm cool with it. He needs time to transition to a new position. It is what it is. I just know that most people won't give him that chance (people were already bashing him after Summer League).
What it boils down to is this: do you trust Monty and Dell? If you do, then shut up about the pick. If you don't, then I'd really like to know why because they have done a fantastic job since they got here.
Hornets record next season? I say 39-43
How do I start a new thread, I'm new here and I haven't really gotten to introduce myself
P.S. Welcome to the board.
Mod over at reddit.com/r/NOLAPelicans
With Gordon, Anderson, and Davis on the roster, the Rivers pick makes alot more sense now since he was the only guy on the board who could potentially start long-term. No other SFs available and Rivers was the best PG prospect at that point.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams

Riding Rodney Hood's 30 points and critical late-game defense from Jabari Parker, Duke prevailed 83-74 after the Pirates created uneasiness in the second round of the NIT Season Tip-Off at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Duke withstood potential stress down the stretch after an 18-point lead shrunk to one.
"Now there's an incredible amount of game pressure," Krzyzewski said. "You could cut it with a knife."
Duke (4-1), which received 21 points from Parker, will advance to the tournament semifinals next Wednesday night at
The outcome snapped the Pirates' nine-game winning streak that extended to winning last spring's CollegeInsider.com Tournament championship run.
"But, boy, we took it to the wire," Pirates coach Jeff Lebo said. "A lot of teams in here have buckled under that barrage of offense."
Most of Duke's 18-point lead was gone when Antonio Robinson drove for a basket that pulled
"No pressure on them," Hood said. "All the pressure is on us."
Duke's next five points came on free throws before Parker blocked a shot and went coast-to-coast for dunk.
"That really kind of broke the ice for us," Krzyzewski said. "It took some great plays like that to beat them."
At 75-70, Parker blocked
"Just anticipation," Parker said. "They got to the rim and I just did what I've had to do to help alter shots."
"(Lebo) put a team out there that could beat us," Krzyzewski said.
Duke's 18-point first-half lead dwindled to 47-42 just 2½ minutes into the second half. Hood was 12-for-12 on free throws, all in the second half.
"Confidence, I put a lot of work into it," he said. "When they go in, they got in. Just shoot it and believe in yourself."
Duke guard Quinn Cook provided 14 points and 10 assists.
Kryzewski said he's familiar with numerous

Here's a great post from Tough Questions Answered.
The post describes evidence for the Incarnation and the Trinity in the writings of Ignatius, who was the third Bishop of Antioch from 70 AD to 107 AD.
Here's the raw quote from Ignatius' "Epistle to the Ephesians":
But our Physician is the only true God, the Father and Begetter of the only-begotten Son. We have also as a Physician the Lord our God, Jesus the Christ, the only-begotten Son and Word, before time began, but who afterwards became also man, of Mary the virgin. For "the Word was made flesh." Being incorporeal, He was in a body; being impassible, He was in a passible body; being immortal, He was in a mortal body; being life, He became subject to corruption, that He might free our souls from death and corruption, and heal them, and might restore them to health, when they were diseased with ungodliness and wicked lusts.
And TQA discusses the passage:
There are several aspects of this passage which demonstrate that Saint Ignatius held beliefs consistent with the Doctrines of the Trinity and the Dual Nature of Christ. First, he refers to two separate Persons, God the Father and Jesus Christ, yet he calls both of them God.
[…]Second, Ignatius refers to Jesus Christ as begotten "before time began". This is almost word for word identical to the Nicene Creed, which says, "I believe in. . . one Lord, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the only-begotten, begotten of the Father before all ages. . ." Some today claim that the Early Church believed Christ's being "begotten" of the Father was in relation to His birth from Mary (specifically, this is an LDS claim). However, Ignatius' comment here demonstrates that the Early Church's understanding of Christ's nature as "only-begotten" was a relationship with the Father that was "before time began" and has nothing to do with His earthly incarnation. It is interesting to note that the Greek word translated as "only-begotten" both here and in the New Testament is "monogenes". Monogenes literally means "one of a kind," and to the Church Fathers it connoted Christ being of the same nature as the Father. . . something that was entirely unique to Him.
In addition to calling Christ God and claiming Him to be the "only-begotten" of the Father "before time began", Ignatius tells us that "afterwards" Christ "became man". Ignatius then goes on to point out some aspects that Christ's becoming man added to His nature. He says that although Christ was incorporeal, He was in a body; although He was impassible, He was in a passible body; although He was immortal, He was in a mortal body; although He was life, He became subject to corruption. These differing aspects of Christ's nature, aspects that are polar opposites to one another, speak to Christ having two natures, one as God and one as man, and demonstrate that Saint Ignatius understood Christ in this manner. As God, Christ was incorporeal, impassible, immortal, and life itself. However, as man He was corporeal, passible, mortal, and subject to corruption.
Now I think you can pull the Incarnation and the Trinity right out the Bible, but it's still nice to see such a prominent church father writing about it decades after the events.

The ARU has come up with a way of making Tests between World Cups matter. They believe rugby needs a "World Series" in which the results of Tests every second year would determine the two leading teams, who would then meet in a final.
Tests between World Cups are often regarded as preparation for the next World Cup, with countries selecting second-string teams for less-important matches.
France, for example, used their South African tour last year to blood several youngsters ahead of the 2007 World Cup, while the All Blacks played their 'B' team against Ireland and Scotland on the Grand Slam tour, opting to save their best side for Wales and England.
The Sydney Morning Herald has learnt that a concept is to be put to the IRB which involves Tests, including pre-season and end-of-season internationals played by major nations, being allocated points on a win/loss basis.
Greg Growden reports that the two teams that finish with the highest number of points or best win ratio would meet in a final at the end of the calendar year. That match would be played at a neutral venue, with lucrative prizemoney on offer.
Aussie officials have been concerned for some time that when northern hemisphere teams travel Down Under before Tri Nations series the matches have often taken on the status of a friendly rather than a fully fledged Test.
Officials argue a World Series, which would be held only in years when the World Cup is not being staged or when the British & Irish Lions are not touring, would dramatically increase the importance of these matches because every game would be crucial in determining the final spots.
It would also make the Tests outside the Six Nations and Tri-Nations a far more attractive product for spectators, broadcasters and sponsors, while putting pressure on national coaches to pick their best sides when on tour.
The World Series would involve about eight or nine matches. In one season, Australia's World Series games could involve Ireland, England, Italy and Argentina in June-July, followed by two matches of the Tri Nations series (one each against New Zealand and South Africa), before they played Wales, Scotland and France in November.
The other countries would have similar schedules.
The major problem with a World Series is that it would detract from the World Cup. The World Cup is the IRB's big cash cow and they would be reluctant to detract attention from the main event.

Cross Country Teams Lead Division II at Hagan Stone Invitational
October 5, 2013
PLEASANT GARDEN, N.C. - Today at the Hagan Stone XC Classic, the Pfeiffer men's cross country team finished as a top Division II school and one of the best NCAA teams overall.
Freshman Chris Laughlin led Pfeiffer for the second week in a row finishing 5th in Division II and 14th overall with a time of 27:42. Josh Wilhoit, Cody Jones, and Dillon Edwards finished sixth, seventh and eighth respectively, with times of 28:05, 28:20, and 28:24.
Nick Owens was fifth for Pfeiffer, and in tenth place overall with a time of 28:32. Henry Furman finished just four seconds behind in 11th place.
Brandon Garren was Pfeiffer's seventh scoring runner with a time of 29:38, followed by Nathan Jarman with a 30:35 and Cody Bivens with a 30:56. Jacob Thomas rounded out Pfeiffer's team in his first college cross country race with a time of 34:10.
"We had big expectations coming into this race, and the guys stepped up to meet them," commented Coach Nolt. "It was a great team effort".
The women also finished as the top NCAA Division II team. Cori Newton and Janna Featherstone were the top scoring Division II runners with times of 20:29 and 21:03. For both sophomores it was their best college performances to date.
Mary Steagall wasn't far behind with a time of 22:09 with Christie Baran and Trista Byers in 11th and 12th with times of 22:24 and 22:28. Kristen Hatley finished sixth for Pfeiffer with time of 23:51 and Alex Crouch was Pfeiffer's seventh runner in her first race of the season after being sidelined with stress fractures in both legs.
Both teams will try to capitalize on this weekend success in six days at the Royals Challenge at McAlpine Creek Park in Charlotte. The women run at 5:00 p.m. and the men are at 5:45 p.m.

Inclement weather spoiled a pair of ball games for Kinston Post 43 during the American Legion Area I semifinals.
And just like that, their 2013 season is over.
American Legion rules the championship game must have started on its scheduled date Sunday. Because Post 43 semifinals opponent Wilson Post 13 won Game 1 Wednesday, Wilson advanced by default.
The clubs were scheduled for a doubleheader Saturday afternoon at Fleming Stadium in Wilson after rain postponed games Thursday and Friday. When officials couldn't get a field together for the games, it was ruled Wilson would go on to the finals.
Post 43 manager Ronnie Battle was optimistic the series would stretch to a third game after the 4-3 loss Wednesday at home, but now his team won't get that chance after finishing with a 12-6 mark this season.
"I guess it's something that the American Legion has always implemented, but it's not a good feeling to be on the losing end of it," he said. "It's very disappointing."
He said because of the ruling, the top four Area I teams were knocked out of the playoffs. Battle said Post 43 was the "better team" over Wilson after Game 1.
"We feel like we didn't get justice in our series at all," he said.
Battle felt like Post 43 had the ideal pitching rotation to elevate the team to the finals. Most of that staff will age out next season.
Three key Post 43 pitchers will not return next year: Gary Blackburn, Matt Hinson and Caleb Kearney. They were all above .500 in their win-loss record, with Blackburn going undefeated this season. Battle also said leading hitter Ryan Cobb will not return.
If a guy turns 20 before Jan. 1 of the upcoming season, he isn't eligible. This will also be one of the last years college students and 19-year-olds can play Legion baseball.
"It's going to be tough," Battle said. "This is probably one of the best pitching staffs, and one that would have taken us into the championship. … The showers of rain just have depleted everything."
The season will restart in May of 2014.
"This, too, shall pass," Battle said about the semifinals out. "We'll have to get over it (and) prepare for next season."
