In U.S. Pat. No. 3,881,490 of May 6,1975, to Whitehead et al there is described a very thin absorbent pad for feminine hygiene, which is intended for use as an undergarment protector between menstrual periods as well as for absorbing light flow between and during periods.
The pad as described in the patent is comprised mainly of a thin air-formed batt of short-fibered wood pulp fluff. The batt is held together primarily by hydrogen bonds provided by spaced line embossments extending generally in the longitudinal direction and intersecting the ends and edges of the batt at spaced intervals. The ends and edges are otherwise unbonded and the resulting quilt-like pillows between embossments provide the finished pad with a cushioned top and soft, flexible borders.
As indicated earlier, while such pads are intended primarily for use for absorbing light flows, or for absorbing discharges to protect undergarments from being soiled between periods, many users found the pads to be so convenient and confortable that they also employed the pads for use in absorbing all menstrual fluids during regular periods. When thus employed, it was observed that while the pads did absorb surprisingly large amounts of fluids there was a tendency for them to become soaked rapidly, permitting fluids to reach the ends and sides and causing some garment soiling. To prevent the latter situation it was necessary to make many inconvenient pad changes at short intervals. The thin pads also tended to have a wet surface feel when sudden gushes occurred, even when fluids from such gushes were eventually drawn away by the embossed lines and redistributed throughout unembossed portions of the pad.
In spite of these above-noted inconveniences, many users found these thin pads to be sufficiently confortable that they often employed the pads even during times of relatively heavy menstrual flow. Because the thin pads had these desirable characteristics, many consumer's expressed an interest in obtaining pads of similar comfort but with higher absorbent capacity.
In response to this show of interest, many attempts were made to develop a pad which would fill that need while retaining the desirable features of the thin pad, i.e. a low cost pad of unitary structure, having the same soft edges and cushioned surface, but with much higher capacity for discharged body fluids.
When attempts were made to increase capacity by making the entire pad thicker while retaining the same embossed structure as the original thin pad, it was found that the embossing pressures needed to obtain sufficient fiber bonding to arrive at the desired unitary structure gave the resulting product a stiff, boardy character which was not comfortable, which did not conform well to body contours, and which did not seat itself well in undergarments. Transfer of fluid to the sides and ends of the pad still occurred after heavy flow, and the full potential capacity of the pad was not utilized to the desired extent. The wet surface feel after long wear or sudden gushes still remained. When less pressure was used in embossing to prevent the stiff, boardy properties, the resulting pad delaminated easily during handling and use, to make it unsuitable as a potential commercial product.
In another attempt to solve the above-mentioned problems, a contoured batt was constructed having more fiber provided in the central portion to obtain a thicker center. This batt was subsequently embossed in the same manner as the original thin pads. However the variance in thickness of the starting batt did not permit good embossing without applying excessive pressure, and when the necessary high pressures were used the disadvantage of a boardy product again emerged, particularly in the thicker central portion.
In still another attempt to obtain a satisfactory product, a separately formed thin batt was embossed as in the prior art and then laminated by adhesive means to an underlying and thicker unembossed batt which was also separately formed. With this product, problems were encountered first in getting a good bonded structure in the unembossed batt without using supplementary internal adhesive. The latter created stiffness and reduced the rate of fluid penetration. Second, the resulting edges were found to be too thick, and conformability was poor.
Finally it was found that by essentially using the same basic structure as the thin pad of U.S. Pat. No. 3,884,490 for the top layer of a composite structure, deforming a central portion of that thin pad upwardly, inserting a separate thicker pad inside the hump thus formed, and adhering the outer undeformed border portion of the uppermost layer and the bottom of the insert pad to a bottom supporting layer, that a product with high capacity, with soft edges, with a dry surface feel during use, and with good conformability was obtained.
The invention described herein is directed to a sanitary napkin of the latter improved structure.
This invention is directed to a die-cut, contoured, generally oblong catamenial napkin consisting of joined-together layers of sheet material assembled into a sandwich which combines a comfortable thin, soft, flexible fluid-conducting upper layer with a narrower and shorter thick central layer of increased fluid-holding capacity and with a thin, fluid-impermeable bottom layer. The uppermost layer of the napkin is a thin batt comprised of intermingled short absorbent fibers such as wood pulp fibers, commonly called fluff, bonded together by means of a multiplicity of spaced compressed fluid-distributing channels which extend generally in the longitudinal direction of the batt and intersect the ends and edges, which provide fluffy unbonded quilt-like cushions between channels. The surface of this batt may comprise a separate thin non-woven web, or the batt fibers themselves may be bonded together by a thin discontinuous film of adhesive to provide surface integrity and scuff resistance. This uppermost layer also has its central section deformed upwardly to provide a pad-receiving cavity.
The central layer of the napkin comprises a thicker absorbent pad which is narrower and shorter than the uppermost layer and is positioned underneath the uppermost layer and disposed inside of the upwardly deformed pad-receiving cavity of the uppermost layer. The upper surface of this central pad is in intimate physical contact with the bottom surface of the uppermost layer while the outer walls or vertical face portions of the sides and edges of this central pad are free of contact with neighboring components of the napkin.
The bottom layer of the napkin is comprised of thin flexible material characterized by a resistance to fluid strike-through, and preferably is comprised of a thin fluid-impermeable film of polyethylene or similar plastic material.
In other embodiments, the bottom layer, in addition to having a thin fluid-resistant component, may also be surfaced on top with a thin batt of absorbent fibers, and/or may also be provided on its lower surface with a slip-resistant backing material such as a fibrous applique, a non-woven layer, a thin polyurethane sponge, a latex coating or the like.
The bottom layer is adhered to the underformed peripheral border area of the uppermost layer by a thin discontinuous film of adhesive, and in the preferred embodiment the bottom surface of the pad comprising the central layer is also adhered to the bottom layer by the same discontinuous film of adhesive. In the assembled napkin a space which is devoid of fiber encircles the outer boundary of the pad comprising the central layer, with said space being disposed between the vertical faces of the sides and ends of the pad comprising the central layer and the peripheral area of joinder where the uppermost layer is adhered to the bottom layer.
The assembled multi-layered napkin described above preferably has at least one area of pressure-sensitive adhesive disposed on its bottom surface for releasable attachment to a supporting undergarment.
In still another embodiment, the assembled napkin is constructed with an arcuate slightly concave contour in the long direction for better conformability when worn.
The above and other embodiments and advantages of the invention will become apparent by reference to the accompanying drawings and following detailed description.

FIG. 8 is a schematic illustration of apparatus suitable for manufacturing a multi-layered sanitary napkin in accordance with this invention.
In presenting the details of a preferred embodiment of a multi-layered sanitary napkin in accordance with this invention reference is first made to FIGS. 1 - 4 of the drawings.
As shown in these drawings, die-cut and contoured sanitary napkin 12 is comprised of three joined-together layers of sheet material consisting of an elongate uppermost body-contacting layer 14; a thicker central layer 16 which is shorter and narrower than uppermost layer 14, and a thin bottom layer 18 which is resistant to fluid strike-through.
Uppermost layer 14 is comprised of a thin batt of intermingled absorbent fibers 15 such as wood fluff, and has a scuff-resistant top surface 17. The latter scuff-resistant surface 17 may be provided by bonding the surface fibers of the batt itself with a suitable bonding agent, or it may consist of a separate fluid-pervious non-woven web.
Uppermost layer 14 has impressed into its surface a plurality of spaced channels 19 of compacted fibers extending in a generally longitudinal direction for the full length of the batt and intersecting the edges and ends of the batt at spaced intervals. Compressed channels 19 which are comprised of compacted fibers bonded to each other primarily by hydrogen bonds, created in the known manner through the use of pressure and a suitable moisture content, provide the uppermost layer with a plurality of high capillarity conduits through which, because of the small pore size created by compaction as is well known in the art, fluid will travel at a faster rate than the intervening uncompressed areas 20. Uncompressed areas 20 also provide fluffy unbonded quilt-like cushions in the spaces between channels.
While the compressed channels are shown as uniformly spaced and substantially parallel line embossments, other longitudinally extending patterns may be used. Undulating or wavy line patterns are preferred because when the napkin is bent during use, wavy or undulating lines were found to flex more readily than straight lines.
As shown particularly in FIGS. 3 and 4, the centrally located portion of uppermost layer 14 is upwardly deformed to define an elongate pad-receiving cavity in which a thick pad of absorbent material identified as central layer 16 is disposed.
The pad comprising the central layer may comprise any of the well-known materials used in absorbent pads including wood pulp fluff, multiple layers of cellulose wadding, cotton or rayon fibers, cellulose sponge, hydrophilic synthetic sponge such as polyurethane, and the like.
Bottom layer 18, which in this embodiment is shown as a thin plastic film, is coextensive with uppermost layer 14 and is adhered to layer 14 by a discontinuous film of adhesive 22 in the areas where bottom layer l8 and uppermost layer 14 are in face to face contact around the external boundaries of the batt which comprises central layer 16.
As indicated particularly in FIG. 4, the upper surface of central layer 16 is in intimate contact with the bottom surface of uppermost layer 14, and an airspace 26 is provided, at the sides of the pad comprising the central layer, between sidewalls 24 of central layer 16 and the line of contact where the peripheral areas of uppermost layer 14 and bottom layer 18 meet and are joined outside the boundaries of central layer 16. A similar airspace exists adjacent the end walls 25 of the central layer so that the airspace encircles the entire central layer.
As indicated in the drawings, central layer 16 is also secured to bottom layer 18 by discontinuous film of adhesive 22. While this is the preferred embodiment it is not essential that central layer 16 be thus secured to the bottom layer as long as the bottom layer and uppermost layer are secured to each other in the peripheral areas extending all the way around central layer 16.
In either case, the upper surface of central layer 16 should not be secured to the bottom surface of the uppermost layer because this detracts from the conformability of the napkin when in place against the body. Such securement is also somewhat detrimental to obtaining the desirable rapid transfer of absorbed fluids to the central layer from the uppermost layer. In addition, the concavely arcuate configuration shown in the FIG. 2A modification and later described is more easily obtained when there is no adhesive securement of the top surface to the uppermost layer.
Airspace 26, which is provided between the faces of sidewalls 24 and end walls 25 of the central layer 16 and the line of joinder where uppermost layer 14 and bottom layer 16 meet, performs an important function in use. After menstrual fluid strikes the surface of the assembled pad, the force of gravity tends to cause the fluid to migrate selectively downward into central layer 16 and because airspace 26 insulates layer 16 from physical contact with the peripheral-areas of the finished napkin, the absorbed fluid is confined, and more or less trapped, within central layer 16, thus substantially preventing fluid transfer to the edges or ends of the napkin which avoids staining. Such confinement of absorbed fluids is accomplished without treating the peripheral edges of the napkin with water-repellants, or without using fluid barriers adjacent the edges, both of which are common methods employed to prevent edge staining in more conventional napkins.
The embodiments shown in FIGS. 5-7 illustrate several other modifications of a sanitary napkin made in accordance with this invention. In these figures, like numbers are used to identify like elements as shown in FIGS. 1-4, and a description of these elements will not be repeated here. The various modifications or new features not shown in the earlier described embodiment of FIGS. 1-4 are identified by numbers in the 30 series in the following description.
In the development of this improved sanitary napkin it was found that while the new napkin did have much higher capacity and successfully confined most of the absorbed fluid within the structure of central layer 16 it was also found to be desirable to obtain more rapid transfer of menstrual fluid from the surface of the napkin to the central layer, particularly when the fluid first makes contact with the napkin in the raised cushioned areas of the surface rather than at the compacted fluid-conducting channels.
It was found that this improved transfer can be achieved by providing the uppermost layer with spaced funnel-shaped apertures 31 disposed in the central area of the raised cushioned areas 20 to provide direct communication with the central layer. With apertures present, fluid which is deposited at, or near to, the apertures rapidly migrates by gravity into the central layer 16 and helps maintain a perceivably drier surface than when the apertures 31 are not employed. While the apertures are not essential, some functional advantages are obtained.
Some additional capacity is also obtained by adding a thin fiber batt on the surface of the bottom layer as shown at 38.
In another feature, it was found that the napkin was perceived by the user of being more aesthetic and providing the appearance of more potential comfort when a low reflectance surface, which incidentally has a higher coefficient of friction, is added to the bottom surface as shown at 32. Such kind of surface may be provided by using an applique of fibers, by flocking, by applying various non-woven webs, or by using a thin layer of sponge. Each of these surfaces were found acceptable to users in varying degrees.
Another feature, mentioned earlier in this specification and which is useful in connection with this invention is the provision of a pressure-sensitive adhesive means on the bottom of the napkin for attachment to a supporting undergarment. Such adhesive means is shown at 33, covered by a conventional removable protective sheet 34. The use of such an attachment system and a number of variations thereof are well known in the art and is merely mentioned here as a useful modification of the napkin defined herein. It is also understood that such pressure sensitive adhesive means may be used in constructions shown in FIGS. 1 - 4 which do not have the additional layers 32 and 38 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.
Another advantage of the improved napkin of this invention is the fact that it adapts itself to low cost, high speed production. FIG. 8 shows in schematic form a suitable apparatus which may be used for such production. As shown therein, the rolls of material used to supply the various layers in the napkin structure are pre-manufactured, although an in-line system for such manufacture is also considered feasible. In FIG. 8, supply roll 41 comprises the pre-embossed uppermost layer 14 of the napkin, supply roll 42 is the central layer 14, supply roll 43 is the bottom layer 18 and supply roll 44 is the pressure-sensitive adhesive and protective sheet for the adhesive.
The manufacturing operation may be carried out somewhat as follows:
Pre-embossed uppermost layer 14 is fed from supply roll 41 through a forming nip 45 in which a female roll 46 is provided with a suitably shaped elongate cavities 47. In forming nip 45, layer 14 is pressed into cavity 47 by a matching raised portion 48 of male roll 49. This operation impresses into uppermost layer 14 an upwardly deformed cavity.
At the same time, the material for thick central layer 16a is fed between rotating cutter rolls 51, where it is cut into suitable length pads 16. The central layer pads 16 are fed onto traveling belt section 50 from where pads 16 are deposited into the preformed cavity of the uppermost layer 14 at nip 52.
Meanwhile, bottom layer 18 is fed from roll 43 through nip 53 where it is joined together with a continuous strip of pressure-sensitive material 33 fed from roll 44. The pressure-sensitive strip may be two-sided and directly adhered to the bottom layer by its own adhesive power, or it may be one-sided in which case adhesive is applied at station 54 to provide securement to the bottom side of bottom layer 18. The top surface of bottom layer 18 then has applied thereto a discontinuous film of adhesive at station 55. A preferred adhesive for this purpose is a hot melt type although other suitable adhesives may be used. The adhesive may be applied over the entire top surface of layer 18, or it may be applied in a patterned arrangement which matches peripheral portions of the bottom layer which will lie outside the outer boundaries of central layer 16 when all napkin components are assembled.
Deformed uppermost layer 14 containing the cut to size pad of central layer 16, and the adhesive-coated bottom layer 18 with the pressure sensitive strip in place, are pressed together at nip 52 to seal together the peripheral portion of uppermost layer 14 and bottom layer 18 around central layer 16, and the sandwich is then passed by means of belt conveyor section 56 to a die-cutting tool 57 which stamps out the finished napkin in the desired shape and size. A suitable conveyor 58 is then used to transfer the finished napkins 12 to a packaging station.
In manufacturing these napkins it was found that if the uppermost layer 14 is supplied to nip 52 at higher tension than the bottom layer 18, the finished napkin will assume a concave arcuate shape in the long direction as shown in FIG. 2A after tension is relieved by the die-cutting operation. The fact that the central pad is not adhered to the uppermost layer apparently assists in permitting the finished napkin to assume this shape more readily. The degree of curvature can also be controlled by the amount of tension applied on the uppermost layer during manufacture. In the finished arcuately concave napkin the outer edges of uppermost layer 14 are still coterminous with the outer edges of bottom layer 18, but uppermost layer is slightly shorter in its longitudinal dimension than the bottom layer. This shorter dimension of the upper layer is provided when the manufacturing operation is carried out in a manner where the uppermost layer is under greater tension than the remaining components. The upper layer is thus in stretched condition at the time of joining, and the uppermost layer and bottom layer are therefore of the same length at the time. After die-cutting, when tension is no longer present, the uppermost layer contracts to a shorter untensioned length to provide the arcuate shape.

Coats had a bad day at the office but didn't have that much support around him either.AS you say Carra would have been in his ear all match he didn't get that from those around him. Simple thing to see yesterday is they wanted it more than us. Putting in a SToke type performance that we just didn't handle well at all.But all credit to Oldham they deserved it over the 90mins simple as.
Completely agree, they were bang up for it and got what they deserve, especially good luck to them against Everton in the next round :) To be fair, Everton don't have a physical problem so I would expect them to batter to Oldham, also, they are more likely to play a full strength team at that stage.I know what your saying, it isn't like Coates was slotted into a first choice team, it creates uncertainty all around. Skrtel didnt seemt o be showing a lot of organisation or leadership, he just kinda does his own thing.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Papa John's International Inc. (NasdaqNM:PZZA) reported on Oct. 30 that third-quarter earnings fell nearly 9 percent due to flat sales at restaurants open at least a year, and store opening expenses.
Same-store sales increased 1.3 percent at franchised stores but were off 3.3 percent at company-owned units. Year-to-date, systemwide domestic same-store sales increased 1.1 percent, composed of a 2 percent increase at franchised restaurants and 1.5 decline at company-owned stores.
An operator of 633 company restaurants and franchiser of nearly 2,100 others, Papa John's said it expects fourth-quarter earnings to fall to within a range of 51 cents to 58 cents a share due to higher cheese and utility costs, and fiscal 2001 earnings of $2.08 a share.
According to The Wall Street Journal, BB&T Capital Markets analyst Barry Stouffer cut earnings estimates for Papa John's, lowering his fourth-quarter forecast to 53 cents a share from 54 cents, and his full-year estimate to $2.10 a share from $2.12. He maintains his hold rating on the stock, but wrote, "Absent a resurgence in sales trends, shares are likely to remain in a narrow trading range."
Analysts' consensus third-quarter estimate was 46 cents a share, the fourth-quarter estimate was 52 cents, and the full 2001 estimate was $2.08, according to market research firm Thomson Financial/First Call.
Trading of Papa John's shares on Oct. 31 closed at $27.86, down 65 cents, or 2.3 percent.
The company reported net income of $10.5 million, or 46 cents a share in the period, compared with $11.5 million, or 48 cents, a year ago.
Revenue rose 6.8 percent, to $240.1 million from a year ago.
During the quarter, Papa John's opened 54 restaurants, most of them franchised, and sold 19 corporate restaurants to franchisees.

Whether you're building a new home or renovating your existing home, the right insulation plays a critical role in providing protection and comfort for you and your family.
Although it's behind the walls, choosing the right insulation can help you save up to 50%^ in heating and cooling costs.
R means resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power. Compare insulation R-values before you buy. There are other factors to consider. The amount of insulation you need depends mainly on the climate you live in. Also, your fuel savings from insulation will depend upon the climate, the type and size of your house, the amount of insulation already in your house, and your fuel use patterns and family size. If you buy too much insulation, it will cost you more than what you'll save on fuel. To get the marked R-value, it is essential that this insulation be installed properly.
^ Savings vary. Find out why in the seller's fact sheet on R-values. Higher R-values mean greater insulating power.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Top 5 Ridiculous Moments from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 1, Episode 10: "Payback's a Bitch… Just Ask Your Husband"
Talk about out of control! We love how many catty and crazy moments The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills manages to pack into one episode, whether it's a dog sombrero or a text message that leaves Kyle in tears. Here are our picks for the top five most ridiculous moments from Episode 1.10.
5. Kim and Tay's ice cream manicure
Kim and Taylor's spa session was predictably awkward. In fact, we wanted to cringe when Kim tells Taylor that it's more fun when they bicker. (Saying that Kim has a sense of humor is about as true as saying that men enjoy watching True Blood.)
4. Lisa and Cedric's awesome costumes
Talk about committing to a party's theme! Lisa constantly finds a way to crack us up, whether it's her hilarious wisecracks or this outlandish getup (complete with fake mustache). Somehow, Lisa manages to be stunning even with facial hair.
3. Camille and Kyle are besties now?
So now they have claimed to make up? Uh… whatever they say! We find Camille and Kyle's "friendship" to be about as stable as the San Andreas fault.
2. Giggy's fabulous Mexican hat
Is anyone surprised that Lisa will spare no expense to dress Giggy in clothes (which he apparently doesn't even want to wear)? And our favorite was this outlandish sombrero. (Fashionable Giggy appears to wear more expensive hats than even Queen Elizabeth.) Ole!
1. Worst. Text. Ever.
As it turns out, Camille is even capable of ruining parties that she doesn't attend. Camille's text to Kyle — dismissing Mauricio as their realtor — was the kind of merciless firing that would have even made Donald Trump proud.

The proposal relocates the CSX Transportation rail yard out of downtown Greenville. The new yard would be south of Staton Mill Road along current tracks owned by CSX . DOT says roughly 50,0000 cars drive on or near the existing tracks in downtown Greenville every day, and freight trains can block roadways in the area for up to 36 minutes while switching train cars.
"It gives CSX a location north of Greenville where they can do all these activities, and what this project will do is actually lower the congestion in downtown Greenville that's resorting from the trains blocking the streets." said Project Engineer Ryan White.
The project will cost $6.1 million and take roughly 6-9 months to complete. The next public meeting is June 20th with the location to be announced.

Church of Scientology Opens New In-plant
This five-color Heidelberg XL 105 is one of two large presses installed in the Church of Scientology's new 185,000-square-foot International Dissemination and Distribution Center. With it here are Toby Updegrove, plant manager; Owen Varrall, project manager; Jud Posner, pressroom manager; and Nicky Byrne, production manager.
The in-plant's heavy-duty Muller Martini Primera E140 saddle stitcher is continually busy stitching the millions of publications produced by the in-plant.

The Church of Scientology's new 185,000-square-foot International Dissemination and Distribution Center, in Commerce, Calif.
WITH CELEBRITY practitioners like Tom Cruise and John Travolta among its members, Scientology has gotten its share of media attention over the years. The growing church, founded by L. Ron Hubbard in 1954, boasts more than 9,000 churches, missions and affiliated groups worldwide.
To keep its millions of members informed and fulfill its social improvement goals, the church generates a tremendous amount of printed materials—millions of magazines, brochures, direct mail pieces and educational materials each month.
For many years those publications were printed by commercial printers. That all stopped in August, though, when the church opened a massive, 185,000-square-foot in-plant in Commerce, Calif., 15 minutes from downtown Los Angeles. Called the Church of Scientology International Dissemination and Distribution Center, the new 60-employee in-plant features large web and sheetfed presses, bindery and mail capabilities and even a garment manufacturing operation. It is staffed entirely by church members working two 10-hour shifts.
"It was really a must to set up such a facility that could cater to the scope of the church's activities," remarks Jamie McClintock, senior project manager. "No commercial printer had the scope or the range to do all these different products efficiently and cost effectively."
A Shipshape Shop
Inside the impressively clean and orderly in-plant, employees clad in gray uniforms maneuver skillfully around the large equipment. Around them, the walls are decorated with banners depicting the magazine titles they print, along with artwork showing the different churches around the world.
McClintock says wearing uniforms fosters a team environment, while presenting a more professional look. And the extreme cleanliness of the plant is a direct reflection of church teachings, he says—as well as a productivity enhancer.
"The better organized one is, the more one is capable of producing," McClintock notes. "The cleaner the shop, the easier it is to produce more and move product through the workflow."

A thyroidectomy is a procedutre performed in which all the parts of the thyroid gland are surgically removed. The thyroid gland is a part of the body that controls how quickly the body uses energy. It also controls how sensitive the body is to other hormones and it makes proteins. This body organ is susceptible to getting different diseases as well as other types of illnesses such as cancer. The things that we eat and the activity level that we maintain as well as our overall lifestyle can all affect the well-being of our thyroid gland. If the thyroid gland is not functioning correctly or is damaged, a thyroidectomy can be performed.
How much is it?
- A thyroidectomy can be performed in different clinics or even in hospitals. The price of thyroidectomy depends on the location where the surgery will be performed. The cost can also differ depending on the experience and skill of the physician that will perform the surgery. This is due to the boost in their reputation for the surgeries that they have performed. On average, this procedure can cost anywhere from $16,000 to as much as $65,000 without any type of health insurance.
- SurgeryCosts.net offers information to people who want to know more about the surgery. This information is provided by other people that have undergone this procedure. The price for the procedure according to the site ranges from $11500 to $62,000. The average payment made by patients who have offered the information is $37,246.
- Another site that offers information about the cost of the surgery for patients that have insurance is HealthCareBlueBook.com. The cost is broken down into different categories such as the professional's fee, the hospital accommodation and anesthesia services, and it adds up to $7,000 to $7,200.
What is going to be included?
- During the procedure, the surgeon will put you under a general anesthetic. Making an incision across your neck, the surgeon will remove the glands, making sure that the area around them is not damaged. After this has been done, the surgeon will stitch up the area that was opened.
- The payment for the surgeon as well as hospital accommodations is included with the initial payment for the procedure. However, this depends on what arrangements have been made with the hospital. Some hospitals would charge separately for the surgeon's fee and the payment for accommodations.
- If you have your check up performed, the doctor will evaluate your body and check if you are fit for the surgery and if it is necessary.
What are the extra costs?
- It is necessary to administer anesthesia to patients so that the pain caused by the procedure will be tolerable, although the effects of the anesthesia can vary with most people and can cause nausea and vomiting. Anesthesia costs extra and will be paid separately from payment for the procedure.
- The doctor that will evaluate you is considered an additional cost as well. Each visit to the doctor can cost extra although this is necessary to make sure that early symptoms are detected.
- After the thyroidectomy is performed, you will need to have a followup appointmentand possibly need to take medication on a daily basis. These will both be extra costs.
How can I save money?
- Ask your insurance provider if they provide coverage for this procedure, which can allow you to save thousands of dollars from the cost of the surgery, hospital and doctor.
- Check with different surgeons or doctors in the area to make sure that you get a fair price for the surgery. If you do not have health insurance, consider paying cash to save up to 50% on the total bill.
Average Reported Cost: $0
How much did you spend?
Daniel McCormick (Santa Fe, New Mexico) paid $$17,000 and said:
The surgery was very worth it ($17,000; $2,000 with insurance); however, of note are the expensive imaging tests that have to be preformed before the surgery. This varies, of course, on weather or not the doctor suspects its thyroid cancer or not. In the case for me, I had to: 1) get an ultra sound ($500); 2) have a CAT scan with imaging done ($2000); and 3) a Biopsy done ($1200). I had a rare case of a benign follicular neoplasum; however, make sure to get only the required tests done to avoid excess cost and research about your condition so you are informed when you talk to your doc. Also, after the syrgery, request Armour Thyroid. Go to stopthethyroidmadness.com to find out more about why taking synthetic thyroid hormones, levothyroxine, for example, are very bad for you and about the benefits of Armour Thyroid. Having tried both, Armour Thyroid wins hands down. It gives you better energy, faster metabolism, and, as far as I can tell, a better immune system (I have not been sick in over 8 months). Best of luck to all 😀
Was it worth it? : Yes

Legal Professional: Build Your Bussiness
New lawyers are equipped with legal research and writing skill. The question becomes, however, how does that translate into writing the memoranda or other document in the real life world of advocacy? Something like an offer of proof for court, a brief in the discovery process, or certainly a demand letter to a tortfeasor's insurer can require different skills than writing formal legal papers in a classroom. The classroom requires much more focus on case law. Perhaps the... Read More
An issue that frequently surprises new lawyers or non-lawyers to civil litigation is how various documents are obtained and then used during the pre-discovery phase and beyond. Often, a litigator obtains certain documents at the outset of a claim, such as medical records of the claimant, in order to assess immediately the scope of the damages. They can then be summarized and presented to the insurer, so that early-on the other side can see the severity of the case.Read More
Personal injury cases are the most common form of lawsuits in the United States. You can suffer injuries at work or at play. You may suffer serious injury in a car accident, or you may slip and fall on your way to a movie at the mall. Your child may suffer a dog bite while out at the park.
If you suffer an injury due to the wrongdoing of another party, you can seek compensation for damages under Massachusetts law. What you can and do collect depends on the... Read More
Pedestrians in Massachusetts need to be particularly vigilant after the clocks are turned back in autumn for daylight saving time. Not only do the hours of darkness increase, but drivers—and pedestrians—appear to suffer from sleep deprivation when clocks are readjusted. This translates into a higher number of traffic accidents, including pedestrian accidents. One study reported a 186 percent increase in fatal pedestrian accidents between the end of October and beginning of... Read More

There are so many amazing memories I had while I was at Lees-McRae College. If I had to pick one, I would probably say the time I went on the overnight backpacking trip with Dee Thomas and several other students. We had the opportunity to spend the night in the Linville Gorge, cook our food over fire, hike down to this beautiful waterfall, and most importantly, just escape all of the technology and worries of our everyday lives. I had been camping several times before, but the knowledge that Dee shared with all of us about proper backpacking and safe camping techniques is something that will stick with me forever. I remember we all worked together to try and hang our food from a tree before the sun went down, and although it took us a while to get it done, it brought all of us closer during the trip.

Dorman, Albright share early lead with two others
Published: Friday, April 25, 2014 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, April 26, 2014 at 5:09 p.m.
Throughout their golf careers, Brent Dorman and Steve Albright have made an impact on the Marion County golf scene.
Photo Galleries
Once again Friday, the duo made their marks, as they fired rounds of 68 and are part of a four-way tie atop the leaderboard in the 63rd annual Henry N. Camp Invitational at Ocala Golf Club.
Dorman, Albright, Ian Clarke and Dick Clemens navigated their way through the opening round in the highly competitive 192-player field.
For Dorman, a four-time Camp champion, the chance to get back into a competitive golf event was something he enjoyed.
"This is only the second (Marion County Golf Association points event) that I have played in this year," said Dorman, who last won the Camp in 2011. "I've had some conflicts with my business schedule, but I have tried to get out and play when I can after work.
"It feels good, though, to get off to such a strong start."
Dorman was steady throughout the opening round.
"I played in a good group that was very patient," Dorman said. "I just played the percentages and made some putts."
Albright, a multiple-time MCGA Player of the Year, is looking for his first Camp title.
"I had a roller-coaster first round," Albright said. "I started with a bogey and then had three birdies and then had bogeys on eight, nine and ten.
"But I was able to play well late and birdied three of the last four holes."
Tampa's Clemens and Clarke, who is from England, as well as 14 other golfers who shot under-par in the opening round, figure to make the final two days of the event quite interesting.
"There's always a great field in the Camp," Albright said. "I played in a good group and I had a lot of fun.
"I am thrilled to be where I am after the first round."
Jason Counsil is one shot back after an opening-round 69, while Mike Hinkle, Daniel Owen, Robert Parker, Derek Camps, Travis Sanders, Jerry Slagle, Colton Godwin and Bobby Bryant are just two shots back.
Meanwhile, Joe Donnelly, David Griffin, Jeff Morley, and Ken Palladino are three off the pace at 71.
Tournament action gets underway this morning at 7:30.

Tenants forced out: Evictions pose new challenge
A pile of trash sits outside a trailer park where residents say their rental homes are in poor condition. The owner was fined $2,000 last month for code violations, and is evicting residents and plans to use the land for townhomes.

It works!
Reviewer1562741发表于 Jan 07, 2012
I normally have issues with gluten, lactose and casein. I am not celiac, but I do have fructose malabsorption. I have avoided both gluten and dairy for years. I've been testing Digest Spectrum for about two weeks now, and taking one of these during my meal has really made a big difference! I can eat gluten and dairy again!!! I am VERY pleased!! For fructose malabsorbers: FYI, I still have to avoid fructose and fructans. I don't ever have whole wheat, only white wheat products. UPDATE: I've been using DS for about 6 months now. It is GREAT! It is so nice to be able to have dairy and wheat again!
Great Digestive Enzyme!
Reviewer1744101发表于 Jan 25, 2011
I have tried many digestives and this seems to be the best I've tried! You know it's working as soon as you feel a relaxing sensation in your digestive system. Ahhhhhh. Roxanne Cole

I have used most of Enzymedica's products but I think this is the best overall. I use it instead of the "Gold" and I think it works better! Love it.

Finally found the best one for my child with some spectrum traits. This along with spectrum and candida probiotics and we're making progress! To really understand about enzyme use I recommend the enzymestuff website.
gluten intolerance
Reviewer3236446发表于 Apr 03, 2011
We are taking this as we have trouble digesting gluten and dairy. It is helping and we will continue to buy this product.
Shhhh...I can cheat the tiniest bit with wheat when I take this
WildSweetVermont发表于 Jul 31, 2012
My former doctor had prescribed Prilosec a few years ago for my horrible heartburn and acid reflux. I don't like to take medications like that, so instead I started taking digestive enzymes. My sweetie and I have both experienced significant improvement on these enzymes, much better digestion and no more heartburn or reflux. I had to give up gluten for health reasons a year or so ago, but with this enzyme I can let a *little* wheat slip in every now and then. I don't mean a bagel, but maybe a light breadcrumb coating that otherwise I would not be able to handle. I *do not* have Celiac or anything that would send me to the hospital with a little slip, so please don't try it if your own gluten intolerance is that severe! The Digest Spectrum also helps me to better digest dairy than does the plain Enzymedica Digest. The only con for me is the price if we want to take one before every meal (and sometimes 2 before heavy or extra rich food). I keep trying other brands to see if I can get on to something as effective at a lower price, but this one is the best for me.
Immune system did not like it
Health-Is-Wealth发表于 Oct 30, 2013
My immune system did not like it, along with the other Enzymedica products I've tried - this is one of the ones that caused most grief. Good quality, but expensive.

Digest Spectrum
Reviewer1254701发表于 Aug 09, 2011
I have fructose malabsorption and Digest Spectrum is a gift to treasure. The service was so fast I could hardly believe it. Received it withing few days of ordering, which would not be unusual but for a fact that the delivery was to Australia!
karinpamplona发表于 Jan 08, 2015
I had been using either Gluten ease or Gluten ease 2x, but I found out that I am intolerant to more kinds of food, so I tried Digest Spectrum. It's very good, even if I take it after the meal. It works very well! Since in my country there are still restaurants and bars that don't care for intolerance or allergy problems, it is quite common that I find out the meal had dairy or gluten afterwards... I surely recommend this, the symptoms, if any (in case I take it only after the meal), are mild. When taken before, it seems I have eaten gluten or dairy free products.

Mortar fire killed at least one person on Tuesday in western Damascus near the headquarters of the Syrian government, Syrian state media reported.
"A citizen was martyred and two others were injured by mortar shells fired by terrorists this afternoon on the Kfar Sousa residential area," the official SANA news agency reported.
The attack damaged a number of cars in the area, which is home to a several security headquarters and official buildings, including the council of ministers and the foreign and interior ministries.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights watchdog confirmed that mortar rounds "fell in the area around the council of ministers."
Elsewhere, state television station Al-Ikhbariya reported that "terrorist fired mortar shells at the Qasaa neighbourhood," a largely Christian district in central Damascus.
The capital has come under increasing mortar fire from rebels arrayed in suburbs on the outskirts of the city, from where they are able to target central neighbourhoods still under regime control.
Troops have been fighting fierce battles in several of these suburbs in a bid to eject the rebels.
Meanwhile, in the northern city of Aleppo, the Observatory reported violent clashes between regime troops and opposition fighters near the Al-Kindi hospital that left around 10 rebels and five soldiers dead.
At least 39 people have been killed in violence throughout the country on Tuesday, according to the Observatory, which has an extensive network of activists and doctors inside Syria.

They offer a unique loan called "Ventanillas Rurales" [Window to the Countryside], which uses a group guarantee but is an individual loan with a savings component, mostly to rural borrowers. Due to low savings rates and a history of macroeconomic instability, many traditional loans in Ecuador demand interest rates that are prohibitively high for some borrowers. There is also a high incidence of extortionist black-market lending in Ecuador. CSJ helps mitigate these problems by
providing a less onerous and more appropriate option

Funeral rites were held for two men who were killed by a train Friday night when trying to rescue a drunken man who had fallen off the platform onto the tracks at JR Shin-Okubo Station on Tokyo's Yamanote Line.
Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori and Foreign Minister Yohei Kono attended the funeral held for Lee Su Hyon, a 26-year-old South Korean student, at a Japanese language school Lee attended in Tokyo's Arakawa Ward.
After offering condolences to the victim's father, Lee Song Tae, 61, and mother, Shin Yoon Chan, Mori told reporters that he hopes young people in Japan will learn something from Lee's courageous act.
"I want him to be a role model for the youth here," Mori said, adding that he told Lee's parents that he hopes the tragedy will inspire "wonderful relations between Japan and South Korea."
South Korean President Kim Dae Jung sent a telegram to the parents that read, "(Lee's) noble morality, that victimized himself in an effort to save somebody else, will be remembered by people in both South Korea and Japan forever."
Referring to Lee's grandfather, who was forcibly taken to Japan as a laborer during World War ll, his father said, "Different from his grandfather, my son came to Japan on his wish, and he is now being mourned for warmly by the Japanese people. What my son did deeply impressed so many people; he did not die for nothing."
During the funeral, about 500 people offered flowers to the altar of Lee, who came to Japan about a year ago from Pusan. He was a senior at Korea University.
Later on Monday, Korea University was considering whether to honor Lee with an honorable graduation certificate, university sources said.
It was also considering whether to build a memorial monument to commemorate his conduct, they said.
Lee's personal Web site has also been inundated with messages of condolence. Among those on the site's bulletin board was one sent by someone identifying himself as South Korean that reads, "Your death must help Japanese understand the beautiful hearts of South Koreans."
The government and the Metropolitan Police Department offered letters of appreciation to Lee and Yokohama cameraman Shiro Sekine, 47, who also was killed.
Bunmei Ibuki, chairman of the National Public Safety Commission, and Mutsutake Otsuka, president of JR East, attended Sekine's funeral in Yokohama's Kohoku Ward.
Prior to the funeral, Norio Usami from the MPD Shinjuku Station visited Sekine's mother, Chizuko, to present her with a letter of appreciation from MPD Superintendent General Takeshi Noda.
Usami told reporters that the mother was so distraught that no words of condolence seemed appropriate.
Witnesses told police that Lee and Sekine immediately jumped down onto the tracks when Seiko Sakamoto, 37, who also died in the incident, fell from the platform.
The government had considered conferring a prime ministerial commendation on the pair, but decided not to as there is no precedent for presenting this award in a case in which a person has died while trying to rescue someone during an accident.
The commendation is given to people or organizations that contribute to the promotion of the arts, sciences and culture or for the implementation of important policies for the country.
Mindan praises Lee
The Korean Residents Union in Japan (Mindan) on Monday presented a statement of condolence for a South Korean student who was killed Friday in Tokyo by a train while attempting to rescue a Japanese stranger.
Mindan's statement, written in Japanese, cited the action of Lee Su Hyon, 26, a student at a Japanese language school in Tokyo, as inspired by "courage and a sense of justice which could not overlook the crisis being faced by another." "We will always remember what happened as our pride as South Koreans," the statement read. It also vowed Mindan would transform the tragedy of Lee's death into a force for fostering ties between Japan and South Korea.
Web site inundated
The personal Web site of a South Korean man killed by a train Friday during an attempt to rescue a Japanese man has been inundated with condolences.
Among the messages posted on Lee Su Hyon's bulletin board, one by a man claiming to be South Korean says, "Your death must help Japanese understand the beautiful hearts of South Koreans."
A person of South Korean descent in Los Angeles wrote, "I'm proud of you."
A Japanese person wrote, "I felt chagrined to learn that your brave action deprived you of a promising future."
