Liberal Arts/Transfer & Undecided majors
If you're planning to transfer your ECC credits to complete a bachelor's degree at a four-year college or university, you're definitely in the majority! Nearly 80% of our students earn a Liberal Arts/Transfer Associate in Arts (AA) degree because they're assured that the credits will transfer easily to nearly all Iowa colleges and universities, as well as many other institutions in the Midwest. And it's the perfect degree for those who are undecided, because sticking to the AA degree checklist of courses ensures that none of your time and effort (and money) will be wasted.
Dual Enrollment with Iowa, Iowa State and UNI
Marshalltown Community College has agreements in place so that any of our students enrolled in the Liberal Arts/Transfer AA degree program can also be dual enrolled with the University of Iowa, Iowa State University, or the University of Northern Iowa. This means these dual-enrolled MCC students are also considered full-time Iowa, Iowa State or UNI students … they're assigned an academic advisor and have access to all the same perks and benefits as the other university students (bookstore, library, student services, student activities, athletic events, and more). An MCC Admissions Office representative can tell you how to take advantage of this great opportunity. There's more information online at http://www.iavalley.edu/mcc/careers_degrees/transfer_regent.html.
Transferring to other colleges and universities
MCC also has articulation agreements with many other colleges and universities, several of which are listed on our website at http://www.iavalley.edu/mcc/careers_degrees/transfer_other.html. If you want to transfer your credits and degree to one of these institutions, just follow the link on the website. If you want to transfer to a college or university that's not listed here, please contact the MCC Dean of Students and Academic Affairs for assistance.

Root River Trail
P.O. Box 145
Lanesboro Minnesota 55949United States
Editor's Review
Midwest Living Recommends
The Root River Trail offers easy bluff country biking, with seven charming small towns along the way.
The Root River State Trail is a paved asphalt trail along an old railroad bed that runs over 60 miles through the scenic bluff country of southeastern Minnesota, beginning in Houston and running west through Rushford, Peterson, Whalan, Lanesboro, Preston, and to Harmony (with a spur to Fountain). The eastern segment is somewhat hillier, but most of the trail is generally level, running through the valleys of surrounding bluffs. Because the trail connects so many small towns, it makes for great daytrips or could even be the route of a multinight biking trip with stays in hotels and B&Bs along the way. The trail runs across many old railroad trestle bridges over the many spring-fed streams of the region and through varied topography of farm fields and wooded sections. The length of the trail makes is suitable for serious road bikers, but the mostly level grade makes it a fun trip for leisure bikers, too. The frequency of charming small towns along the trail makes for an interesting trip and lots of good lunch options.

New diesel regulations could hurt local farmers, ranchers
New regulations forcing farmers and ranchers to cut back on their use of diesel fuel in their farm equipment could decimate the Eastern Sierra's—and all of the state of California's—agriculture industry within the next decade or two, according to Mono County Supervisor Hap Hazard. Hazard represents the Tri-Valley area, the heart of the county's farms.

If you're going to Bali on spring break, you could probably care less about beach parties and mai tais. You want waves, first and foremost, as does anyone who takes a trip to Indo. But part of Bali's beauty is that there are a plethora of options—and you're not trapped on a boat. From the endless reeling lefts of Uluwatu (a goofyfooter's wet dream with liquid skate ramps, draining tubes, and quarter mile long rides) to the perilous peaks of Padang (also known as the Balinese Pipeline) to the markets, bizarres, and clubs of Kuta, on this small Indian Ocean isle. The other alluring parts include the unique and eclectic culture, friendly locals, robust natural landscapes and abundant indigenous wildlife. And it's all within reach by car, bicycle, or scooter. Many describe visiting Bali as a spiritual experience—there are many ancient temples and Hindu shrines—so amidst the Bintangs and barrels, you might even find a bit of clarity and rejuvenation to take back home with you—in lieu of empty regrets and foggy memories. Namaste.
Wave Consistency: Dreamlike.
Spots: Ulu's, Keramas, Padang, G-Land by boat.
Boards: Regular shortboards and step-ups.
Localism: Mellow, with thick crowds at marquee spots.
Danger: Mosquito born illness, earthquakes, isolated incidents of terrorist activity.
Lodging: Bargain—$15 a night and up.
Party Scene: Kuta or bust.

Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is replacing Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for people aged 16 to 64 with a new benefit called Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
Find out what PIP is, how to claim it, how much it is worth and how its introduction affects you if you are already receiving DLA.
What is PIP?
Being ill or having a disability can often make life more expensive. PIP is a benefit that is meant to help you with the extra costs caused by illness or disability – including sight loss.
PIP is also a benefit aimed at a particular age group: people aged 16 to 64. If you are:
- 65 or older, PIP is not the benefit that you will claim to help with extra costs. If you are claiming help for the first time, it will be Attendance Allowance. If you are 65 or over and already receive DLA, you will remain on DLA.
- under 16 and claiming help for the first time, you should make a claim for DLA. When you turn 16, you will then have to make a claim for PIP.
To make a claim for PIP you must:
- be habitually resident in the UK (this is decided by looking at a number of factors including reasons for coming to the UK, the length of your stay, future intentions, and previous links with the country)
- and satisfy the past presence test (you must have been present in the UK for 104 out of the previous 156 weeks).
These two rules are complicated and there are some exceptions - if you live in a European Economic Area country, for example - so contact our Helpline if you think you may have difficulty passing these tests.
PIP is meant to help with daily living activities and getting out and around. Because of this, it is split into two parts or 'components': a daily living component and a mobility component. You might be successful in claiming one or both of these components.
Each component then has two rates:
- a standard rate for people who the DWP decide have a limited ability to carry out daily living or mobility activities because of their physical or mental condition
- an enhanced rate for people who the DWP decide have a severely limited ability to carry out daily living or mobility activities because of their physical or mental condition.
It is not a means-tested benefit – so you can claim it no matter what your income is – and the DWP pays it tax free.
How much is PIP worth?
The daily living component:
- the standard rate is £55.10 a week
- the enhanced rate is £82.30 a week.
The mobility component:
- the standard rate is £21.80 a week.
- the enhanced rate is £57.45 a week.
The rates for PIP will rise with inflation each year.
How do I make a new claim for PIP?
Please note that, although PIP was introduced in June 2013 for all new claims, the Assembly of Northern Ireland has not yet agreed to introduce it there, so you still apply for DLA in Northern Ireland.
Call the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) for free on 0800 917 22 22 (0800 917 77 77 if you use a textphone). The DWP will take initial details of your claim while you are on the phone.
The DWP will then automatically generate a claim form for you and send it to you. Your claim form will include a barcode (to uniquely identify your form) and some parts of it will already be completed for you (your name, address and date of birth, for example). You then complete the rest of the form and send it back to the DWP.
The claim form for PIP
The idea of filling out a claim form can be a little daunting, however we feel that the PIP claim form is clearly laid out and quite straightforward to fill in. You are given lots of prompts throughout the form on what information to include, and there is also a useful information booklet which accompanies the form.
When completing the form, it is important to include as much information and supporting evidence as possible. This may include copies of prescriptions of any medicines you require or a supporting letter from a health care professional who helps you. You could also include a care diary, which is a written record of all the help and assistance you need carrying out everyday tasks throughout a whole day. More information on what sort of information to include in a care diary can be found in our factsheet.
The medical assessment for PIP
When you claim PIP, it is almost certain that the DWP will ask you to attend a face-to-face consultation which will consider your individual circumstances across twelve activities.
For each activity, there are different descriptors which describe a person's ability to do something. Each of these descriptors has a score associated with it and you will score points based on the descriptors that apply to you.
For each descriptor to apply you must show that you are unable to carry out the activity "reliably, repeatedly, safely and in a timely manner".
Of the twelve activities, ten relate to the daily living component (such as "preparing food and drink" and "reading and understanding signs, symbols and words") while two relate to the mobility component ("moving around", for example)
You can score points in more than one activity. For the DWP to award you the standard rate, you have to score at least 8 points in total for the relevant activities. To receive the enhanced rate you have to score at least 12 points in total.
If an assessor asks you to attend an assessment it is very important that you attend a face-to-face consultation. If you do not do this and do not have a good reason (good cause) then this could mean that the DWP reject your claim for PIP.
When and how PIP affects you if you receive DLA
If you are aged 16 to 64 and receive DLA, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will eventually ask you to make a claim for PIP. Only once you have passed the assessment for PIP will you start to receive the new benefit – you will not automatically be transferred on to it.
The DWP has stated that the majority of people will be asked to make a claim for PIP from October 2015.
Before that, however, the DWP has started to ask some recipients of DLA in certain parts of the country to make a claim for PIP already. These are people who live in Wales, the Midlands, East Anglia, some parts of Scotland and parts of the North of England, and one of the following applies to them:
- they report a change in their circumstances
- their DLA award is due to expire
- they turn 16 years old (unless they were awarded DLA under the Special Rules for terminally ill people)
- or they choose to claim PIP instead of DLA.
When the DWP contact you inviting you to make a claim for PIP, it is vital that you contact them to start your claim within four weeks. If you do not start your claim within four weeks, the DWP will suspend your DLA. You can still make a claim for PIP after this, and if you do it within a further four weeks the DWP will reinstate your DLA whilst you are making your claim for PIP.
PIP appeals
If your claim for PIP is unsuccessful or you are unhappy with the rates you have been awarded you have the right to appeal.
Getting help with PIP
We have produced a factsheet on PIP that contains lots of useful information and more details about how to make an effective claim for it:
If you have any concerns about the introduction of PIP or need help with your claim, you can speak to one of our trained benefits advisers by calling our Helpline on 0303 123 9999. You can also email email@example.com with your questions.
Please note that we can only give advice about benefits for blind and partially sighted people and their carers or dependants.

I never buy books to sell them and this was a bargain at £16.99 and I love having a copy of a book signed by JK rowling that I didn't give blood to get. On the other hand they are now trading at close to the £1000 mark on various dealer sites with a copy even being offered at £1650 on ABE. Am I mad not to cash in now or should I hold on to it. I'm kicking myself I didn't get another copy or two while I had the chance.
Sell it now. The market is artificially high. Once everyone who has one of these discovers how much others are selling for they'll all try selling them, plus tons of counterfeit signed version will flood the market, lowering the overall resale value.
Very true . I have a receipt for the book and from the shop in question its pretty good proof of authenticity based on their reputation.
I've never sold on ebay but might look into it or ABE

So, I've wanted a buffet for awhile now and when I came across this baby at the thrift store….it had to be mine. I got the good ol' husband eyebrow raise, but once I mentioned that a flat screen TV would fit nicely on top (someday) it was quickly loaded into the back of our car.
After a LOT of sanding, and a few coats of paint (none of which was done by me…ok maybe one coat), it now fits nicely in our living room. Except now I need a cute lamp (0r two) for the top.
Filled with a few quilts nonetheless, and plenty of room for more.
Thank you Jay for working so hard and for helping me finish all my silly projects!

Multi-Year Calendar | Hourglasses | Sand Timers
Hourglasses were very popular on ships as they were the most dependable measurement of time while at sea. It was known to have helped many a sailor determine longitude or distance from east or west to a certain point with some accuracy. Modern board games such as Pictionary use a mini hourglass to keep track of a turn. The hourglass is often more fun to use than a stopwatch or other digital instrument. Alongside the hourglasses and sand timers is a selection of multi-year or perpetual calendars. Combined with nautical clocks these make great gifts for those who are oriented towards time.

In the physical sciences, a phase is a set of states of a macroscopic physical system that have relatively uniform chemical composition and physical properties (i.e. density, crystal structure, index of refraction, and so forth).
Mixtures can have multiple phases, which often happen when two immiscible substances dissolve into one another in small amounts. For example, a mixture might be composed of an oil phase (95% oil, 5% water) and a water phase (95% water, 5% oil).
Polymorphism is the ability of a solid to exist in more than one crystal form. For example, water ice is ordinarily found in the hexagonal form Ice Ih, but can also exist as the cubic ice Ic, the rhombohedral ice II, and many other forms.
Amorphous phases are also possible with the same molecule, such as amorphous ice. In this case, the phenomenon is known as polyamorphism.
For pure chemical elements, polymorphism is known as allotropy. For example, diamond, graphite, and fullerenes are different allotropes of carbon.
Solubility is governed by Hildebrand's solubility parameter (δ), which is defined using molar volume, molar energy and molar enthalpy. The parameter describes the work needed to dissolve different solvents into each other. Solvents with very different parameter values are insoluble. As many as eight immiscible liquid phases are possible. One such a system is, from the top: paraffin oil, silicone oil, water, aniline, perfluoro(dimethylcyclohexane), white phosphorus, gallium and mercury. The system remains indefinitely separated at 45 C, where gallium and phosphorus are in the molten state.
Immiscible liquid phases are formed from:
Not all organic solvents are completely miscible. Ethylene glycol, for example, has limited solubility with toluene, and when neither is in excess, phases separate. This phenomenon can be used to help with catalyst recycle in Heck vinylation.
Also, solids may form solid solutions or remain immiscible, crystallizing into different crystals if cooled. In particular, some pairs of metals are soluble, forming alloys, and some are insoluble in each other.
An important point is that different types of phases are associated with different physical qualities. When discussing the solid, liquid, and gaseous phases, we talked about rigidity and compressibility, and the effects of varying the pressure and volume, because those are the relevant properties that distinguish a solid, a liquid, and a gas. On the other hand, when discussing paramagnetism and ferromagnetism, we look at the magnetization, because that is what distinguishes the ferromagnetic phase from the paramagnetic phase. Several more examples of phases will be given in the following section.
In more technical language, a phase is a region in the parameter space of thermodynamic variables in which the free energy is analytic; between such regions there are abrupt changes in the properties of the system, which correspond to discontinuities in the derivatives of the free energy function. As long as the free energy is analytic, all thermodynamic properties (such as entropy, heat capacity, magnetization, and compressibility) will be well-behaved, because they can be expressed in terms of the free energy and its derivatives. For example, the entropy is the negative of the first derivative of the free energy with temperature (at constant pressure).
When a system goes from one phase to another, there will generally be a stage where the free energy is non-analytic. This is a phase transition. Due to this non-analyticity, the free energies on either side of the transition are two different functions, so one or more thermodynamic properties will behave very differently after the transition. The property most commonly examined in this context is the heat capacity. During a transition, the heat capacity may become infinite, jump abruptly to a different value, or exhibit a "kink" or discontinuity in its derivative. See also differential scanning calorimetry.
The different phases of a system may be represented using a phase diagram. The axes of the diagrams are the relevant thermodynamic variables. For simple mechanical systems, we generally use the pressure and temperature.
The markings on the phase diagram show the points where the free energy is non-analytic. The open spaces, where the free energy is analytic, correspond to the phases. The phases are separated by lines of non-analyticity, where phase transitions occur, which are called phase boundaries.
In the diagram, the phase boundary between liquid and gas does not continue indefinitely. Instead, it terminates at a point on the phase diagram called the critical point. At temperatures and pressure above the critical point, the physical property differences that differentiate the liquid phase from the gas phase become less defined. This reflects the fact that, at extremely high temperatures and pressures, the liquid and gaseous phases become indistinguishable. In water, the critical point occurs at around 647 K (374 °C or 705 °F) and 22.064 MPa.
The existence of the liquid-gas critical point reveals a slight ambiguity in our above definitions. When going from the liquid to the gaseous phase, one usually crosses the phase boundary, but it is possible to choose a path that never crosses the boundary by going to the right of the critical point. Thus, phases can sometimes blend continuously into each other. This new phase which has some properties that are similar to a liquid and some properties that are similar to a gas is called a supercritical fluid. We should note, however, that this does not always happen. For example, it is impossible for the solid-liquid phase boundary to end in a critical point in the same way as the liquid-gas boundary, because the solid and liquid phases have different symmetry.
An interesting thing to note is that the solid-liquid phase boundary in the phase diagram of most substances, such as the one shown above, has a positive slope. This is due to the solid phase having a higher density than the liquid, so that increasing the pressure increases the melting temperature. However, in the phase diagram for water the solid-liquid phase boundary has a negative slope. This reflects the fact that ice has a lower density than water, which is an unusual property for a material.
For example, under standard conditions for temperature and pressure, a bowl of liquid water in dry air will evaporate until the partial pressure of gaseous water equals the vapor pressure of water. At this point, the rate of molecules leaving and entering the liquid phase becomes the same (due to the increased number of gaseous water molecules available to re-condense). The fact that liquid molecules with above-average kinetic energy have been removed from the bowl results in evaporative cooling. Similar processes may occur on other types of phase boundaries.
Gibbs' phase rule relates the number of possible phases, variables such as temperature and pressure, and whether or not an equilibrium will be reached.

The BBC has had to correct itself over the make of boots being worn by Peter Capaldi as the Doctor.
The entire costume ensemble was revealed last Monday, with the BBC stating that the footwear was Dr Marten shoes. However, it was subsequently realised that the corporation had erred and that they were, in fact, made by Loake - a Kettering-based footwear firm with a warrant of appointment to the Queen. It also transpired that Capaldi had bought the boots himself.
In a report in the Daily Telegraph, Nicholas Roumana, the owner of the British Boot Company (spot the coincidence as regards the shop's initials!) in Camden Town, said of the Loakes:
Peter Capaldi came in a week or two before Christmas and said he was looking for a pair of smart dress boots. I suggested this one, because not only is it very smart, it's exclusive to us and made in England. It's a great boot. He bought it in size 10.

Striker Steven Fletcher has admitted his relief at finally securing his move to Sunderland.
The 25-year-old Scotland international made his debut for the club in last night's 2-0 Capital One Cup victory over Morecambe after Wolves finally agreed to sell him to the Black Cats following a summer-long pursuit.
"It took its time. Three or four bids were rejected and I was sitting there thinking it was never going to happen," he said. "I think I've had it too easy in the past. Up until now, it's just kind of happened and it's me who has been called and told 'You've been sold'."

is the leather hard or suede
- Asked by George C from Torrance
iPad Smart Cover Leather
Product No Longer Available
4 Answers from the Community
Best Answer:
Not sure why this has so many wrong answers. The outside of the cover is a soft, unsueded leather when it is covering the front of the iPad. The part that is against the glass screen is microfiber. The leather softness has a disadvantage in that is very porous and everything soaks into it including oils from your hands. My red one looks kind of grubby now and am considering shoe polish to disguise it. Cleaning the leather with a soft damp cloth as advised elsewhere does not work. It also starts removing the dye. If I were doing it over again I would use a leather sealer on it brand new and reapply from time to time.
- Answered by Winsor C from Long Beach
The leather is hard, smooth; not suede. the inside of the cover is micorfiber, which has a suede appearance. According to Apple info, the microfiber helps to keep the screen clean.
- Answered by Mary Ann B from Calgary
Suede like on the interior (the surface that buffs the screen) and smooth, supple leather on the outside.

Eau Claire utility granted 2013 rate hike
Electric and gas rates will go up for utility customers in western Wisconsin in January, state regulators decided Friday.
The state Public Service Commission approved a rate increase of 6.1% in 2013 for Xcel Energy's Eau Claire-based utility.
The utility had sought an increase of $39.1 million, and was granted an increase of about $35.5 million, according to the PSC. »Read Full Blog Post(1)
Officer who punched woman discharged in unanimous ruling
In an unprecedented move, the city's Fire and Police Commission voted Tuesday to discharge a Milwaukee police officer who punched a handcuffed woman in the face, reversing its original determination that he should be suspended for 60 days.
The decision to fire Officer Richard Schoen came after residents vocally protested at a commission meeting last week and several elected officials criticized the commission's earlier finding that the officer should keep his job.
The woman Schoen punched, Jeanine Tracy, said she was happy Schoen will no longer wear a badge but remained afraid of the Milwaukee police. »Read Full Article(450)
County supervisor calls for state takeover of Mental Health Complex
County Supervisor Joe Sanfelippo called for a state takeover of the Milwaukee County Mental Health Complex, saying Tuesday that the county has failed to make good on plans to downsize the psychiatric hospital and treat more of its patients in the community.
"After years of studies, warnings and repeated requests to modernize and to reform this vital program, for the County Board to sit back and do absolutely nothing is deplorable," Sanfelippo said.
He released a statement calling for state Health Services Secretary Dennis Smith "to step in and take decisive action that will protect and improve the lives of these individuals with mental illness." »Read Full Article(66)
Ending same-day voter registration would cost $5.2 million, board finds
Madison - Ending election-day registration would likely cost the state more than $5.2 million, won't reduce the administrative work of clerks and would still allow some people to register at the polls because of a federal law.
Those details were included in a report sent to lawmakers Friday by the Government Accountability Board, which runs state elections.
Democrats said the report should prompt Republicans to rethink plans to end election-day registration, but one GOP senator said he'd like to see the law changed as early as next month. »Read Full Article(764)

7th Circuit strikes down restrictive Illinois gun laws
A federal appeals court on Tuesday struck down Illinois' restrictive laws on having guns in public, and gave the state's legislature six months to come up with a new law permitting the carrying of guns, like 49 other states have adopted.
The 7th U.S. Court of Appeals, in a 2-1 panel decision, reversed two district court findings from the Land of Lincoln and held that Illinois' near-total ban on weapons outside the home was no longer constitutional in light of major U.S. Supreme Court rulings on the 2nd Amendment.
Judge Richard Posner wrote the majority opinion, joined by Judge Joel Martin Flaum. Judge Ann Claire Williams wrote a 25-page dissent, which would leave the issue to the state of Illinois entirely. »Read Full Blog Post(25)

Silver Spring ramp closed because of flooding
The Silver Spring off-ramp from southbound state Highway 145, or W. Fond du Lac Ave., in Milwaukee will remain closed until further notice as state and city crews investigate the source of water that has been flowing onto the ramp since last week, state Department of Transportation officials said Tuesday.
Water has been seeping out of a manhole cover at the ramp. One possible source might be a leak in a nearby water main, DOT spokesman Michael Pyritz said.
The DOT received reports of water on the ramp late last week and highway crews salted the pavement there on Friday. Overnight freezing temperatures in recent days have created ice on the ramp, he said.
The ramp will not reopen until the source of the water is found and stopped, he said. (9)
State to commuters: No restriping at Marquette Interchange till spring
A one-lane bottleneck on westbound I-794 may be causing most of the traffic backups at the Marquette Interchange in Milwaukee, but the state does not plan to grant commuters' requests to reopen a second lane of traffic right away, a state spokesman said Tuesday.
The restriping that will re-establish a second lane of traffic won't happen till the spring after the state adds another lane farther west. That's because officials are concerned that reopening a second lane on I-794 would undermine the improvements in traffic flow from southbound I-43 onto westbound I-94, Wisconsin Department of Transportation spokesman Michael Pyritz said Tuesday.
"That's not practical at this point," he said. "In order for us to undo that striping position, that will back up the entire system once again. We don't really come away with any improvements. It's likely to (mess up) both movements." »Read Full Blog Post(9)

Living Pain Free After A Back Injury
"I figure I've used about eight and a half of my nine lives," quips the 54-year-old Yucca Valley resident.While Bob was extraordinarily lucky to get out of the helicopter crash alive, he did sustain some serious injuries, including broken ribs and herniated disks in his spine."But I mended enough to go back to work, and I kept working as a police street officer," he relates."I could still run, and moving helped more than being inactive. But, my back kept getting worse. I spent a lot of time lying on the floor with my feet up, trying to get some relief."
"On a pain scale of one to ten, a good day was a three,"Nibecker says."On my worst days, I'd be at an eight and immobile. But, I resisted the idea of surgery because everyone I ever talked to said, 'Don't do it.You'll just get worse. Few people have a good outcome.' So I tolerated the pain...and I have a real high pain tolerance."
By mid-2009, however, the pain was so constant that Bob realized he needed to take action.He went to see Stephen Steele,DO, an Eisenhower Osteopath with fellowship training in sports medicine."Dr. Steele ordered an MRI of my spine, and called me a day and a half later," Bob recalls. "He said,'You win the bad-back-of-the-month club. The radiologist and I looked at your scans and your back is bad.'" Dr. Steele referred Bob to Farhad M. Limonadi,MD,Director of Neurological Surgery at the Eisenhower Neuroscience Institute.
His consult with Dr. Limonadi took place on October 16, 2009."I was impressed," Bob says."He's a neurosurgeon with an incredible schedule, but when you're in his office, it's like you're the only guy in the world."
"Dr. Limonadi said there was no reason for me to be in this much pain, and that he could schedule surgery in a few weeks," Bob continues."But, he said if I started to feel any leg numbness or tingling in the meantime, to get to the ER right away because it meant nerve damage."
Just 48 hours later, Bob woke up on Sunday morning and fell getting out of bed. "The pain was at a 10,"Nibecker says."I'd lost all feeling in my left leg, and my right was going fast. I couldn't get off of the floor, so I did a low crawl to the car, and my wife drove me to Eisenhower. They wheeled me in and put me on painkillers to help me bear the pain. I had no feeling from the waist down."When Dr. Limonadi arrived at the hospital, Bob consented to surgery, a procedure called a lumbar microdiscectomy.
The procedure Dr. Limonadi performed — also known as microdecompression spine surgery — includes removal of a small portion of the bone over the nerve root and/or disk material from under the nerve root to relieve neural impingement and provide more room for the nerve to heal. "Microdiscectomy involves making a small incision in the lower back, and using the surgical microscope, exposing the spinal canal and the herniated disk material, followed by carefully removing the herniated fragments," explains Dr. Limonadi.
"The spinal canal typically is filled with nerve roots," continues Dr. Limonadi."Their job is to command different body parts, and the lower lumbar spine controls the legs and transmits pain sensation.Mr.Nibecker's large herniated disks extended into the spinal canal and into the space of the nerves.He had all the signs and symptoms of nerve impingement. So, we did a minimally invasive microdiscectomy with the surgical microscope and took out the fragments."
"When I woke up in recovery, I could wiggle my toes and feet, and there was no pain," Bob says."It was like 'Woohoo, a miracle!'"After a one-week hospital stay, Bob returned home.After 90 days, he was cleared to go back to work — as a helicopter pilot.He flies for an air ambulance service that provides medical evacuation for the Marine base at Twentynine Palms.
"My toes tingled for a while after surgery, and I had some occasional shooting pains, but Dr. Limonadi explained that it's normal from the nerve damage, and it might take about two years to resolve," says Nibecker. "He also told me that I might not ever be completely pain free. But, I'm back to nearly 100 percent — it's as if it never happened. I don't even think about my back anymore. Before, because of the pain, I could never not think about it."
"Now, I can move and do things again," shares Nibecker, noting that he takes care to practice good body mechanics when doing things such as lifting."I can't believe I put up with the pain for so long. I never thought it could be this good. Dr. Limonadi is my hero."
"Mr.Nibecker is a strong gentleman," says Dr. Limonadi thoughtfully."He lived with pain for a long time, but managed to function and maintain his muscle strength, and didn't give in to narcotics to manage his pain.He should be his own hero.He was ready for recovery. I just gave him a hand, and he pulled himself up."
