Mouth Diseases
Bumps in back of tongue
I`ve been looking through past questions about people with bumps on the back of their tongues and still can`t find an answer I am looking for. I have large bumps on the back of my tongue that have been there (that i know of) for about a week. I gave head to my boyfriend for the first time about a month ago. Could this be an indication of an STD of some sort? I also was a smoker for about 6 months. I did quit, could this be from smoking?
If there are about 6 to 8 of these bumps, all about the same size, lined up across the back part of the top of the tongue, these most likely represent circumvalate papillae. These are normal anatomical structures that have been there your entire life. Most people don't examine this area carefully because it is so difficult to see back there. If the bumps don't look like the description that was given, then you should be seen by an oral pathologist.

Thanks I tried that. But with the touch screen not responding I can't choose 'yes ' or "no" to reset to factory defaults. my arrow key and keyboard don't respond to it.

Isn't there a key combo to press and hold on power up that also does a hard reset of the phone back to factory settings?

Katherine Carpenter Mays, wife of Staff Sgt. Chauncy Ryan Mays wrote on her Facebook page, "Don't take advantage of time spent with the one you love.
Cherish every second with that special someone.
I love you so much Chauncy!!
You are the best friend, husband, and father that anyone could ever ask for!
Not a minute will go by that you are not thought of. Anyone who knew him knows he was definitely one of a kind. He loved his job and family more than anything."
Staff Sgt. Chauncy R. Mays, 25, of Cookville, Texas. gave his life in defense of his country Monday, 28 February 2011, while serving in Afghanistan.
Chauncy was an Explosives Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Tech, also known as a bomb specialist. While en route to an IED (bomb) that had been spotted, his vehicle was hit with another IED.
At this time, there are no other specifics to the incident and the investigation is ongoing.
He was assigned to assigned to the 63rd Explosive Ordnance Disposal Battalion, 20th Support Command, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md. Also killed in the attach was Spec. Christopher Stark.
Staff Sgt. Chauncy Mays was born Dec. 7, 1985, to Tommy Pierce Mays and Alyson Dawn Rodgers. He was a 2004 of Chapel Hill High School in Titus County.
Staff Sgt. Chauncy Mays entered the U.S. Army on June 17, 2004. He served in the 705th Ordnance Company, 184th EOD Battalion, Fort Polk, La., where he served as the EOD team leader.
"It made me sick every time he had to leave, but I always thought he was coming back," said Matthew Terrell, Chauncy's best friend.
Matthew Terrell returned to Staff Sgt. Chauncy Mays childhood home when he learned of his best friend's death. He says this is the place he feels closest to the fallen soldier.
"Every time he came in, we'd usually get together and me and him and his daddy would hang out and throw some horseshoes," said Terrell. "He was always talking about going back what he could do to help somebody else.
I never understood it, but it takes a different kind of person to do that and we're all proud of him." Terrell says Chauncy had an undeniable love for his country, and for the military.
"I never met anybody that was enthused, probably won't ever again about being in the army and help serve the country," said Terrell.
The childhood friends made thousands of memories at this home. Terrell says none compare to the last time he saw his best friend and the joy in his eyes.
"When he showed me his little girl for the first time was a pretty good memory. He was proud of her," said Terrell. Terrell says this was supposed to be Chauncy's final tour overseas, before returning to his family.
"That was his third tour, sure was. I think it was going to be his last. He was going to be teaching after that," said Terrell.
Friends wrapped a yellow ribbon around a tree in Chauncy's front yard to honor the contribution he made to our country.
Terrell says he can't be angry, because Chauncy died doing what he loved. "That goes back to the heart, an enormous heart, brave," said Terrell.
"I'm a big fellow but it's hard to describe what kind of heart it takes to do that. Special people…all of them…not just him…everybody over there."
An honorable and often tearful memorial was held for an east Texas soldier who fell in the line of duty in Afghanistan. "They put on the uniform every day and put themselves in harms way," said one family friend.
"He would actually probably be pretty mad that we did this because he never wanted to be known or high and mighty," says Chaunceys bother , Cheyenne Mays. Many choked back tears as they paid tribute.
"He was American soldier , American hero , American patriot," said a memorial visitor. Many talked of how men measure their lives. Did they make a difference while they were here? Mays family says, he did.
"He made a big difference , he had an impact on a of peoples lives he saved a lot of peoples lives," Cheyenne says.
Casey Marie Skates wrote on Katherine's Facebook page, "Your family is in my prayers.Chauncy was a good NCO and leader. I am glad I got to know him for the little time I did. He is a real great guy and soldier and will not be forgotten."
In a tribute on Facebook Jason Buck wrote, "As of last night, the 705 EOD CO lost two of the greatest tech we had. Chauncy Mays and Chris Stark. I was recently moved to COP Tangi to work on their team.
I was absolutely thrilled to work under Chauncy and just as excited to have Chris as my team member. I kept thinking how lucky I was to have such a great team. I wanted to express my thoughts and feelings on the situation, as well as give some final notes to our fallen heroes.
What happened last night was the saddest event that's ever happened to me. This is the first time anyone close to me has died. I wasn't sure how I was going to handle death, and truthfully, tried to deny the fact I'd even have to go through it.
I'll never forget the moment I heard that explosion in the distance and the exact time and place when I received the news that they passed away.
Chauncy- You were one-of-a-kind. You were the only person that stuck in my mind the first day I got to the unit. You introduced yourself as Chauncy Mays with that super friendly personality and smile.
You've just got this aura about you that explodes with likeability. I've never met a person who didn't like you, and God knows they couldn't find a reason not to.
As a tech, you taught me probably more than anyone else ever has. You've always been so excited to teach me and help me progress through my EOD career. I knew I could always turn to you for anything.
You were my biggest role model and a father-like-figure to me. I love you, man and you'll always be in my prayers."
Staff Sgt. Chauncy Ryan Mays is survived by his wife, Mrs. Kathy Mays; two daughters, Kiley Mays and Chesnee Mays; a brother, Cheyenne Mays; sisters Amanda Tenbrook, Stephanie Ray and Nikki Ray; his father, Tommy Mays; mother Alyson Dawn Rodgers; grandparents Jerry and Debbie Mays, B.J. and Thelma Boyd, Fred and Tina Overman, MawMaw Wanda, and Barbara Cook; great-grandparents Fred and Mavis Overman; his mother and father-in-law, Russell and Rhonda Carpenter; and numerous aunts and uncles.
Services were helded, March 11, 2011 at Lake Fork Baptist Church in Alba, Texas. Burial was at Harmony Cemetery in Winnsboro with full military honors. The Patriiot Guard Riders was in attendance.
All Powerful God
We honor today those men and women—
Our sons and daughters,
Husbands and wives,
Fathers, brothers, sisters, mothers—
Who have laid down their life for their country.
Whether weary or emboldened, quiet or defiant,
Vulnerable or ready when You called them home,
Their sacrifice is too humbling for words except these uttered in prayer.
Loving Lord, bless them forever in Your eternal peace.
Let the sounds of strife, the cries of battle, the wounds of war be calmed
for all eternity in Your loving and endless grace.
Let these great warriors find rest at last,
Ever reminded that we who are left behind Cherish their spirit, honor their commitment, send them our love, and will never forget the service that they gave.
Thank you Staff Sgt. Chauncy Ryan Mays for your service and sacrifice for this great country that you so loved.
Our prayers are offered up for your family, Katherine and the girls and your loved ones. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten and we pray for peace in our Father's loving arms.
Special Thanks to Debbie Frith for this poem.

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
Hi Customer
I see you asked a simular question before and spoke to another expert. Dog you want me to put this in as a duplicate and close it or do you have more questions?
Okay generally before birth the temp drops to 99 degrees. Normal temp is between 100.5 and 102.5 so if there is a drastic difference then call your vet. When her temp drops to 99 you can assume that between 12 and 24 hours she should start giving birth. She will become a bit nervous and start looking for a place to have the pups, this is called nesting. So it is important that you don't let her outside on her own as she could drop a pup or have them in an area that you can't get to them. So any outings take her on a leash. Her teats may show some milking as well and she will seem uncomfortable. Once a pup is born she should lick it and clean it, bite off the cord and in some cases the dog eats the cord. I prefer to throw the cord away.
You will be able to see her pushing to have a pup, she will pant heavily, she may lay down to have a pup or she may stand to have a pup. Have everything you need to assist her ready. Have your vet and emergency vet's number handy by the phone. If you need to call they can talk you though stuff you are not sure about.
She can have pups an hour to two hours apart from each other or one every half hour.
Even though she is a day over norm the fact that she is licking herself could very well indicate an infection, not necessarily that she is ready to give birth so I would have your vet check that.
She may still have a little time and you are feeling the pups moving into the birth canal. Keep a close watch over her the next few days. Set up a quiet area in the home for whelping. You can use a plastic kiddie pool as it makes for easy clean up.
thanks bye

The NSFW music video features love-making scene between two topless lesbians in a motel room.
Semi Precious Weapons have made public an official uncensored music video for their latest single "Look at Me". Frontman Justin Tranter plays a narrator to a lesbian couple who is engaged in a steamy bedroom joint.
"Our concept was really f**king simple," Tranter explained to Rolling Stone. "Have me sit on the bed of a dirty motel room, while two stunning people are making love. Kind of like I'm the narrator of their sex - but making sure it all looks as real, honest and beautiful as the song is."
A ballad track, "Look at Me" is taken from the four-piece group's second album "You Love You" which has been in stores since June this year. The music video is co-directed by Cass Bird, Nicole Ehrlich, and Justin Tranter. The lesbian couple is played by Jocelyn Saldana and Krista Ayne.
Already opening for Lady GaGa's Monster Ball gig and sharing stage with her on the stage of Lollapalooza, Semi Precious Weapons are gearing up for their own headlining tour starting September 22. After that, they will be returning to open for GaGa's traveling show.

Talking about how the couple's relationship will evolve, the Matthew Donnally depicter says that Danielle will have to accept the fact that sometimes people who work together fall for each other.
A week before the return of "Necessary Roughness", more scoops from the upcoming season 2 have been shared by Marc Blucas. Among the things explained by the actor is how Dani and Matt's personal relationship will be written in the story in the next chapter.
"On the personal side, Matt's relationship with Dani starts out pretty secretive because we want to see if it goes where we want it to go before involving the kids," so the Matthew Donnally of the drama series claimed. "And then there's a lot that happens that comes with a relationship evolving."
However, Blucas added that Matt will come to point where he thinks, "The secret thing is fun, but hey, if this relationship is gonna kick to the next level, who cares about the rest of the stuff?" He went on dishing, "So, Matt will need to accept that 'well ok there are kids who need to accept me and I them'."
As for Dani, she "will have to accept the fact that 'well so we work together, who cares, it happens all the time that people who work together fall for each other'." Blucas teased there will be both drama and comedy when the pair start entering and adjusting to each other's family.
"The primary sticking point for Matt and Dani... it was just so beautifully written," the 40-year-old actor further gushed. "It's been a really nice arc with this relationship and it's been a nice way to have tension and solving it and some other tension and solving that too and then there's some more and we'll see if that's solved or not."
Beside Matt, Dani will also spend much of her time working with Nico. Talking about what happens between the two characters, showrunner Kevin Dowling recently said, "There are surprises to come between the two of them."
"When he promises in the pilot that he'll take care of Dani's problem and then you see it play out - and she doesn't even know how he did it, but he gets rid of the P.I. - that's pretty much their relationship for a while. But eventually that also is going to morph and get a little more complicated, so that will probably play itself out. I think that will reveal itself by the end of the first half of the season."
The new season of "Necessary Roughness" will debut Wednesday, June 6 at 10/9c on USA Network. A preview for the upcoming chapter has been released, focusing on Dani who will keep helping T.K., the New York Hawks' star player, in dealing with his problems.

Bodybuilding steroids for beginnersWhen WADA gave caffeine the green light, it allowed elite athletes to start using it to enhance their performance. Research shows six milligrams per kg of bodyweight (for an 80kg man, that's the equivalent of roughly five strong coffees) one hour before exercising, then 70-200mg during exercise, delivers optimum results. Caffeine isn't the only performance-enhancer lurking in your kitchen. Baking powder – aka bicarbonate of soda – can boost endurance by preventing lactic acid build-up in muscles. Athletes have been "soda-loading" for decades, and if you're after an endurance boost, a dose of 300mg per kg of bodyweight an hour before exercise delivers.

Energy-Harvesting Systems Revenue to Reach $375 Million
Source: www.ControlGlobal.com
Feb 18, 2014
According to a recent report from Navigant Research, worldwide revenue from energy-harvesting systems will grow from $283 million in 2014 to nearly $375 million in 2020. These systems convert ambient energy to useable electrical energy and offer an alternative to battery power for portable devices. Using a variety of energy sources including electromagnetic radiation, and thermal, kinetic, and mechanical energy, energy-harvesting technology is powering a range of consumer products, such as laptops and mobile phones.
Another important application is pervasive sensor networks, where sensors monitor measurable commodities in real time, providing information about temperature, humidity, security, machine and structural health. Energy harvesting offers several advantages over conventional power supplies, according to the report, and developers are quickly becoming familiar with how to implement this technology into ever more innovative applications.
"The idea of mobile devices that charge themselves continuously, without intervention, access to electrical outlets, or unwieldy cords, has been prevalent among both developers and users for some time," according to Eric Woods, research director with Navigant Research.
The report, "Energy Harvesting," analyzes existing and emerging energy- harvesting technologies, looking at nine end-use consumer and industrial application segments and the four most successful transduction methods for converting ambient energy. It also includes extensive technology segmentation that shows key implementation strategies for the most common energy harvesting technologies operating in portable, pervasive and autonomous systems.

Show of the week: Catfish: The TV Show, Wednesday, MTV, 10pm
IN INTERNET parlance, a catfish is someone who lures another person into a romantic online relationship using a fake personality - or, at least, using someone else's photos. The term came from the 2010 documentary Catfish, in which American filmmakers Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman followed Schulman's brother, Nev, as he set out to meet his online sweetheart. Nev was expecting to find the 19-year-old with whom he thought he had been having an intense relationship online. What he found was an older woman who had spun a bizarre and elaborate web of lies - and who continued to spin them as the camera rolled. The documentary caused a buzz at the Sundance Film Festival, but plenty of people thought it smelt a bit, well, fishy. Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me) called it ''the best fake documentary I have ever seen''. Whatever the truth may be, the original Catfish landed Nev Schulman this TV documentary series, in which he accompanies other people who are meeting their online sweethearts for the first time. Tonight, he's helping Arkansas nursing student Sunny, who is desperate to meet her online boyfriend, Jamison, and is frustrated that whenever they make plans to meet he ends up cancelling. Sunny says Jamison is a male model - don't laugh, it could be true - who is studying anaesthesiology online (er … OK) and writes cue cards for Chelsea Lately (hmmm …). Well, yeah, it seems fairly obvious Jamison's biography is the work of a fantasist, especially when Nev phones Chelsea Lately and learns they have never heard of him and don't use cue cards. And when Nev gets Jamison on the phone, he sounds like a squeaky-voiced kid. But Sunny is undeterred, even when a web search points to Jamison telling even bigger whoppers. So Sunny and Nev set off on a road trip to meet the mysterious Jamison. And what they find will probably surprise you, even if you thought you had it all figured out. The suspicion that surrounded the original Catfish documentary naturally casts doubt over this series as well, which is frustrating for the viewer. If tonight's episode is real, it's pretty amazing. If not, well, it's still an absorbing cautionary tale.

I had taken a urine test at my doctors office and it had been two weeks atfer I had used methadone and it showed up positve for methadone.If I am correct blood tests show up more then a urine test. Why would I show up positive two weeks later for methadone for a urine test.The test this doctor uses is the very advanced one. I not sure what it is called, its something like a gastrospectromy ms/ms. These tests are costing me 1904.00 for eveytime I have to take one. I do not know if I have to pay extra for this question but I will ask you anyway and find out. Is it ethical for a doctor to lie to you about why a test is being taken? Tell you a test result is not back when you came in and it was but made you come but the next week for another one. Especailly since these test cost so much.
I am so sorry for asking you this you have been so wonderful. I don't know if I made my question clear enough for you. I stated I had used 50mg. of methadone. I used 50mg. one day and 50mg the next day making it a total of 100mg.Is this the same break down for blood test?I think on the 7th I took 20mg.then had taken the100mg two days prior to that. And yes thats what the test is called. Is this the same test used for blood test since he is using this lab for U.A. tests? Do they break down the same as stated above in a blood test? Thank you for being so helpful to me. I am sorry for asking you so many questions.My doctor and I don't have a good doctor patient relationship.Never listens to me about any concerns I have.

Renovations at Andy Warhol Museum on North Side have Factory appeal
Eric Shiner, director of the Andy Warhol Museum, says renovations at the North Side venue were inspired by the artist's famous New York City studio.
The museum has renovated its first floor with the intention of creating a social hub not necessarily connected with a visit to the museum. It has windows that open up the area; audio-visual equipment showing museum experiences; new furniture to create a lounge atmosphere; and an iPad bar designed for visitors to browse the web and find out more about the museum.
Shiner credits Warhol's Silver Factory as guiding the redesign of the first floor.
"The Factory was a place where high and low, rich and poor, black and white, gay and straight came together," he says. "We hope to replicate this model, welcoming all to come in, sit down and share ideas without having to pay museum admission."
Emily Meyer, assistant communication manager of the museum, says the project cost about $800.000.
The lounge-like room is designed for events and rentals, from cocktail get-togethers to formal dinners. It also is designed with acoustic and lighting features in mind, creating the possibility of cabaret-like entertainment.
The Warhol Store also was expanded to three times its previous size.
The work was designed by Desmone & Associates Architects of Lawrenceville and built by the F.J. Busse Co. of Crafton.
The project as funded by the Eden Hall Foundation, the Heinz Endowment and the Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, along with an anonymous donor.
In the new social space, 20 monitors show display footage such as shots from a Screen Test interactive project in the museum, a feed from Warhol's gravesite, as well as information about upcoming programs and events.
The area also has a floor-to-ceiling enlargement of William John Kennedy "Homage to Warhol's Marilyn," a look at a famous Marilyn Monroe artwork, and an image of Warhol at the Silver Factory.

Mini 14 ejection
This may have already been covered, but I guess I missed it. Friend of mine has a Mini 14 in 223. The main problem he has right now is how far the empties are ejected after firing. His rifle ejects the empties from 20 to 30 feet straight out or about a 45 degree angle to the right rear. Any suggestions?
Mini 14s only come chambered in .223 Rem.
As far as the ejection, that sounds like a healthy rifle. Where's the problem?
What ammo are you running? Is it .223 Rem or 5.56x45? If it's 5.56x45, you may be overgassing the rifle. It's not horrible for the rifle, but it will decrease the useful life of it.
using 223 ammo. His main problem is finding the brass to reload, and when we do find it it is pretty roughed up on the edge of the rim
That could be caused by the rifle. I'm not sure if they're made any more, but years ago, you could buy brass catchers that clipped to the side of the rifle.
Yup, they're still made. You can order one here: http://www.brasscatchers.com/store/brasscatcher.html#Anchor-49575
That is the catch 22. The farther the brass is flung (generally) the healthier the ejector/extractor set up. If you want to reload the brass, finding it can become problematic. Brass catchers are an OK answer for indoor ranges that won't let you pick up your brass and outdoor situations where the grass is tall or the snow is deep.
And a Buffer Technologies Shok Buff will help keep the empties from reaching orbit. Also, get a new Wolff spring.
the .222 variant was an export model. I doubt there are more than a half dozen in the US.
A new recoil spring is a very good idea.
The .222 were intended for export to countries that restrict military calibers, such as Mexico. But they could be ordered (Special Order) in CONUS as well.
Try an adjustable gas port for the mini. Probably the only way to reliably keep brass from going all over. A buffer is more for op rod protection, it may do something for reducing distance but I doubt it.
Mini 14's come in 6.8 now as well. ;)

From Post staff reports
MT. JULIET —The last two years, the winner of Mt. Juliet Christian versus Red Boiling Springs has come down to the last play. The Saints came out on top both times, but not in convincing fashion.
This year, there was no doubt as MJCA pummeled the Bulldogs 51-20 Friday night before a happy homecoming crowd.
MJ Christian improved to 2-4 with the victory and 1-2 in region 4, 1A. Red Boiling springs slipped to 0-6 on the season and 0-3 in the league.
Coach Paul Townsend's team took an early 14-0 first quarter lead after an 18-yard run by Zach Harvey and a 57-yard pass from senior quarterback Chris Frazier to Zach Orr.
But RBS came roaring back to cut the margin to 14-12 after a failed two-point conversion.
But the Saints proved to be too much on this night, piling up over 500 yards of offense and putting six different players in the end zone en route to a lopsided win.
Senior Stephen Hughes finished with 113 rushing and two scores, while the other classmate Trey McNeill racked up 81 yards rushing, 91 receiving and a score.
"We did the things we needed to do" on offense, Townsend said, "and we forced some turnovers when we needed them."
The game was interesting for a while until the second quarter when MJCA put up 31 points going into the half, up by 19.
After an early third quarter RBS score, MJCA put the baby to bed with 20 unanswered points.
Townsend said he was happy so many players got into the action, as seven players carried the ball while maintaining offensive balance.
The Saints rushed the ball 40 times for 289 yards, and Frazier went 9-of-26 for 223 yards.
"Whenever you have this kind of statistical performance, you feel good about your offense," he added. "But the kids came out ready to go and did what they had to do."
MJCA's defense piled on, stuffing Red Boiling Springs for just 207 yards of total offense and less than 100 on the ground.
The Saints go back on the road October 10 as they travel to Watertown to take on the Purple Tigers in a Region 4, 1A game at Robinson Stadium.

Alcohol dependence is a previous psychiatric diagnosis in which an individual is physically or psychologically dependent upon drinking alcohol. In 2013 it was reclassified as alcohol use disorder (alcoholism) along with alcohol abuse in DSM-5.[1]
Definition and diagnosis[edit]
|Addiction and dependence glossary[2][3][4][5]
|• addiction – a brain disorder characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli despite adverse consequences
|• addictive behavior – a behavior that is both rewarding and reinforcing
|• addictive drug – a drug that is both rewarding and reinforcing
|• dependence – an adaptive state associated with a withdrawal syndrome upon cessation of repeated exposure to a stimulus (e.g., drug intake)
|• drug sensitization or reverse tolerance – the escalating effect of a drug resulting from repeated administration at a given dose
|• drug withdrawal – symptoms that occur upon cessation of repeated drug use
|• physical dependence – dependence that involves persistent physical–somatic withdrawal symptoms (e.g., fatigue and delirium tremens)
|• psychological dependence – dependence that involves emotional–motivational withdrawal symptoms (e.g., dysphoria and anhedonia)
|• reinforcing stimuli – stimuli that increase the probability of repeating behaviors paired with them
|• rewarding stimuli – stimuli that the brain interprets as intrinsically positive and desirable or as something to be approached
|• sensitization – an amplified response to a stimulus resulting from repeated exposure to it
|• substance use disorder - a condition in which the use of substances leads to clinically and functionally significant impairment or distress
|• tolerance – the diminishing effect of a drug resulting from repeated administration at a given dose
|(edit | history)
According to the DSM-IV criteria for alcohol dependence, at least three out of seven of the following criteria must be manifest during a 12-month period:
- Tolerance
- Withdrawal symptoms or clinically defined alcohol withdrawal syndrome
- Use in larger amounts or for longer periods than intended
- Persistent desire or unsuccessful efforts to cut down on alcohol use
- Time is spent obtaining alcohol or recovering from effects
- Social, occupational and recreational pursuits are given up or reduced because of alcohol use
- Use is continued despite knowledge of alcohol-related harm (physical or psychological)[6]
The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) is considered the most accurate alcohol screening tool for identifying potential alcohol misuse, including dependence,[7] it was developed by the World Health Organisation, designed initially for use in primary healthcare settings with supporting guidance.[8] Its use has replaced older screening tools such as CAGE but there are many shorter alcohol screening tools,[9] mostly derived from the AUDIT, the Severity of Alcohol Dependence Questionnaire (SAD-Q) is a more specific twenty-item inventory for assessing the presence and severity of alcohol dependence.
Because only 3 of the 7 DSM-IV criteria for alcohol dependence are required, not all patients meet the same criteria and therefore not all have the same symptoms and problems related to drinking. Not everyone with alcohol dependence, therefore, experiences physiological dependence. Alcohol dependence is differentiated from alcohol abuse by the presence of symptoms such as tolerance and withdrawal. Both alcohol dependence and alcohol abuse are sometimes referred to by the less specific term alcoholism. However, many definitions of alcoholism exist, and only some are compatible with alcohol abuse. There are two major differences between alcohol dependence and alcoholism as generally accepted by the medical community.
- Alcohol dependence refers to an entity in which only alcohol is the involved addictive agent. Alcoholism refers to an entity in which alcohol or any cross-tolerant addictive agent is involved.
- In alcohol dependence, reduction of alcohol, as defined within DSM-IV, can be attained by learning to control the use of alcohol. That is, a client can be offered a social learning approach that helps them to 'cope' with external pressures by re-learning their pattern of drinking alcohol; in alcoholism, patients are generally not presumed to be 'in remission' unless they are abstinent from alcohol.
The following elements are the template for which the degree of dependence is judged:
- Narrowing of the drinking repertoire.
- Increased salience of the need for alcohol over competing needs and responsibilities.
- An acquired tolerance to alcohol.
- Withdrawal symptoms.
- Relief or avoidance of withdrawal symptoms by further drinking.
- Subjective awareness of compulsion to drink.
- Reinstatement after abstinence.[10]
Treatments for alcohol dependence can be separated into two groups, those directed towards severely alcohol-dependent people, and those focused for those at risk of becoming dependent on alcohol. Treatment for alcohol dependence often involves utilizing relapse prevention, support groups, psychotherapy,[11] and setting short-term goals. The Twelve-Step Program is also a popular process used by those wishing to recover from alcohol dependence.[12]
About 12% of American adults have had an alcohol dependence problem at some time in their life;[13] in the UK the NHS estimates that around 9% of men and 4% of UK women show signs of alcohol dependence.[14]
The term 'alcohol dependence' has replaced 'alcoholism' as a term in order that individuals do not internalize the idea of cure and disease, but can approach alcohol as a chemical they may depend upon to cope with outside pressures.
The contemporary definition of alcohol dependence is still based upon early research. There has been considerable scientific effort over the past several decades to identify and understand the core features of alcohol dependence,[15] this work began in 1976, when the British psychiatrist Griffith Edwards and his American colleague Milton M. Gross [16] collaborated to produce a formulation of what had previously been understood as 'alcoholism' – the alcohol dependence syndrome.
The alcohol dependence syndrome was seen as a cluster of seven elements that concur, it was argued that not all elements may be present in every case, but the picture is sufficiently regular and coherent to permit clinical recognition. The syndrome was also considered to exist in degrees of severity rather than as a categorical absolute. Thus, the proper question is not 'whether a person is dependent on alcohol', but 'how far along the path of dependence has a person progressed'.

Despite the importance of numerous psychosocial factors, at its core, drug addiction involves a biological process: the ability of repeated exposure to a drug of abuse to induce changes in a vulnerable brain that drive the compulsive seeking and taking of drugs, and loss of control over drug use, that define a state of addiction. ... A large body of literature has demonstrated that such ΔFosB induction in D1-type [nucleus accumbens] neurons increases an animal's sensitivity to drug as well as natural rewards and promotes drug self-administration, presumably through a process of positive reinforcement ... Another ΔFosB target is cFos: as ΔFosB accumulates with repeated drug exposure it represses c-Fos and contributes to the molecular switch whereby ΔFosB is selectively induced in the chronic drug-treated state.41. ... Moreover, there is increasing evidence that, despite a range of genetic risks for addiction across the population, exposure to sufficiently high doses of a drug for long periods of time can transform someone who has relatively lower genetic loading into an addict.

Substance-use disorder: A diagnostic term in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) referring to recurrent use of alcohol or other drugs that causes clinically and functionally significant impairment, such as health problems, disability, and failure to meet major responsibilities at work, school, or home. Depending on the level of severity, this disorder is classified as mild, moderate, or severe.
Addiction: A term used to indicate the most severe, chronic stage of substance-use disorder, in which there is a substantial loss of self-control, as indicated by compulsive drug taking despite the desire to stop taking the drug. In the DSM-5, the term addiction is synonymous with the classification of severe substance-use disorder.

realized on a fair sale should be awarded to the salvors. As already remarked, the enterprise, labors, and expenditures of the libelant have given the property here in controversy all its value. No one else has hazarded anything in its rescue. The proof is un· contradicted that the libelant will not receive more than about one-fifth of the value of the work done and the expenses of its performance. To take from him any part of the proceeds of the property under such circumstances, and bestow it upon one whose title was divested by competent authority, because of his inaction, would be simply to increase libelant's loss, and to revest the title of the property in one who has no legal or equitable ownership therein. It was argued that, if the libelant should be held to be a salvor, the proceeds of the property could not be awarded to him solely, but a part should be decreed to the persons who obtained the services of the fireboat Detroiter, which checked the progress of the flames, and prevented a further loss by fire of the vessel and cargo. The facts do not warrant any allowance for the services of the fireboat as against the claim of the libelant. Had the fund been sufficient to pay the libelant's actual expenditures and the fail' value of his work, and leave surplus for distribution, the Detroiter might be permitted to share in it, if not barred by her contract of service. But the steamer was not equipped to perform the services rendered by libelant, and bring the vessel and cargo into port. All that she did was practically lost by the submergence of the vessel, and conferred no appreciable benefit upon the salvors. The proofs fail to show that any considerable portion of the cargo in the hold was benefited by the extinguishment of the fire on deck, while it is clear that the hull of the Burlington had been so injured before the arrival of the fireboat as to make it practically worthless above the water line. A further and insuperable objection to any allowance out of the fund by way of salvage to the Detroiter is the fact that her work was done under a contract that her services were to be paid for at all events, whether successful or unsuccessful. The Camanche, 8 Wall. 448, 477; The Excelsior, 123 U. S. 40, 49, 8 Sup. Ct. 33. The libelant was the last salvor, and is entitled to priority, under the circumstances of the case, over all others. His services, including his necessary disbursements, were fairly worth the sum of $5,000, and a decree will be entered in his favor for that sum, with costs. 'l'he fund in the registry of the court arising from the sale of the Burlington and cargo is awarded to the libelant.

tion, an injury caused by the ship herself; and If the same was the result of carelessness she Is liable. And It is Immaterial that the person whose negligence caused the injury was also a stevedore, since in performing the said work he was acting as a servant of the ship.
CHARTER-CONTHOl. OF OWNERS.
'Where the owners appoint the officers and crew and retain control, they remain liable to all the ordinary responsibilities of owners, although they have contracted for the privllegt' of sending a supereargo on the vessel's voyages.
This was a libel by Richard F. Ferguson against the steamship Terrier to recover damages for personal injuries. Samuel Evans Maires and Curtis Tilton, for libelant. Renry R. Edmunds, for respondent. BUTI,ER, District Judge. The libelant snes for an injury inflicted on him by the vessel while working npon her as a stevedore. There is no room for serious controversy about the facts involved. While the libelant, with other stevedores was engaged in the vessel's hold, unloading cargo, her agents and servants commenced relaying the floor of the between deck. This floor had been taken up and stored above for convenience in placing cargo. In passing the floor' ing down through a hatch immediately over the heads of the stevedores, a plank was allowed to fall, and striking the libelant inflicted serious injury. There was carelessness, both in passing the flooring down through this hatch, and in allowing the plank to fall. It should have been passed through another hatch, equally cOllvenient, whereby all danger would have been avoided. The work was being performed by the crew under the supervision of one of the mates. 'fhe evidence does not leave these facts in doubt. Is the ship responsible for the libelant's injury? This is the only question raised. In my judgment she is. FIrst because she inflicted the injury. This flooring was as much a part of her, as was any other part of the structure; that it was out of place at the time is unimportant. As.is said in the Kate Cann, 8 Fed. 719 (under similar circumstances) "in legal effect the blow inflicted was inflicted by the ship." And second, because it was her duty to see that the place where the stevedores worked was safe, while they 'were upon her. Cannon v. The Protos, 48 Fed. 919, and Records of Dist. Ct. E. D. Pa. No.8 of 1889; The Kate Cann, 2 Fed. 248, 8 Fed. 719; The Frank & Willy, 45 Fed. 494; The Wells City, 38 Fed. 48; The Carolina, 30 Fed. 200; The Relios, 12 Fed. 732; Sherlock v. Alling, 93 U. S. 108. The Germania, 9 Ben. 356 [Fed. Cas. No. 5,360] cited and relied upon by the respondent is easily distinguished from this case. There the work on which the libelant was engaged was foreign to the business and obligations of the vessel. He was arranging the cargo to suit the convenience of a purchaser, in compliance with the consignee's contract; and the court held, in effect, that the ship owed him no duty. On no other ground, in my judgment, can the decision in that case be sustained. All the court says there must be understood with reference to the special facts stated. The respondent asserts that one of the stevedores assisted ill lowering the planks, and that the accident resulted from negligence
fad would be unimIKJrtant, however, if proved.
This assertion is not sustained by the evidence. The All persons en; gaged about the work were the ship's agents and servants, and it would make no difference that others than her usual employes assisted; they were engaged about her business, for her benefit, and under her orders; and they were not therefore fellow workmen with the stevedores, who were engaged in unloading cargo. The defense set up, that the vessel was under a time charter, and not in possession or charge of her owners is not sustained by the evidence. The charter proves the contrary. Under it the owners appointed the officers and crew, and retained control; and consequently remained liable to all the ordinary responsibilities of such owners. Leary v. U. S., 14 Wall. 607; U. S. v. Shea, 152 U. S. 186 [14 Sup. Ct. 519]; l1arcardier v. Insurance Co., 8 Cranch, 39. A careful reading of the charter leaves no doubt of this. It is in effect a contract on the part of the owners and vessel to enter the charterer's service, under the conditions stipulated. The latter contracted for the privilege of sending a supercargo on the vessel's voyages, which is entirely inconsistent with the notion that they were to become the owners while the vessel was in their service. If the fact were as alleged, however, the responsibility of the ship for this injury would be the same-just as in the ordinary case of collision or other torts, which she may commit. Ko charter could relieve her of such responsibility. "As is'said in Sherlock v. Alling:
"By the maritime law the vessel as well as the owners, is liable for the damage caused by her torts. The vessel is deemed to be an offending thing, and may be prosecuted without any reference to the adjustment of responsibilities between the owners and employees for the negligence which resulted in the injury. Any departure from this liability of the owners or vessel has belm found in practice to work great injustice."
on his part.
Charterers may of course be liable also, as was held in the case of Posey v. Scoville, 10 Fed. 140, cited by the respondents. No case has been found wherein the ship was not held to be responsible for her torts under such circumstances.

Steelers QB says he's ready to prove his worth to team
After chewing his fingernails for the past month, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will try to chew up defenses.
Disciplined for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, Roethlisberger said yesterday that he is confident he will be ready Oct. 17 when the Steelers play the Cleveland Browns at Heinz Field.
"My arm is ready," Roethlisberger said, adding that he threw more during his four-game suspension than he would have while practicing with the Steelers.
"I think the biggest thing is just refreshing my mind with the offense and getting my timing down with the guys."
Roethlisberger, who worked with personal quarterback coach George Whitfield Jr. at Hampton High School, will get extra practice time with his teammates.
The Steelers are off this week because of the bye.
They are scheduled to practice today through Thursday and then follow a regular practice schedule next week.
Roethlisberger's workout today will be his first with the Steelers since Sept. 1.
The seven-year veteran started the process of re-acclimating with the Steelers yesterday.
Roethlisberger ate lunch at team headquarters, took part in players meetings and talked with coach Mike Tomlin and offensive coordinator Bruce Arians.
During the suspension, Roethlisberger was not allowed to have contact with coaches and was barred from team facilities.
"Obviously, I love football and miss that more than anything, but to be away from the guys, my family, that was one of the hardest parts and that's what made coming here so great," he said.
"I think every single one of the guys gave me a big hug, and I was just so happy to see them, and I think they were happy to see me, as well."
Roethlisberger is hopeful he gets a similar reception when he plays a regular season game at Heinz Field for the first time since December.
"If I've seen people out in public, it's been a lot of warm embraces, a lot of 'can't wait to get you back, keep your head up,' " Roethlisberger said.
"There's been a lot of positive feedback from the fans, so I would hope there are going to be some encouraging things and some good things."
Roethlisberger talked publicly for the first time since the end of August. He disclosed, among other things, the beating his fingers took while having to watch the Steelers play on TV.
"I have no fingernails left," Roethlisberger said while holding up his hands during a six-minute interview with reporters. "It was tough, but it was fun watching them win."
The Steelers went 3-1 in Roethlisberger's absence.
The players elected team captains while he was suspended, and Roethlisberger was not voted one after serving as an offensive co-captain the previous two seasons.
"Obviously, that's an awesome honor to be voted a captain of this team, but that's something you have to earn, and I'll come out and give them the best I can," Roethlisberger said.
"Just because you're (not) a captain doesn't mean you can't give this team all you've got."
Yesterday, Roethlisberger said, did not bring an end to a saga that started in March when a 20-year-old college student accused the two-time Super Bowl winner of sexually assaulting her in a nightclub bathroom in Milledgeville, Ga.
Roethlisberger said closure will come at Heinz Field on Oct. 17.
"For me, getting back on the field will be the big test. That's what I'm most excited for because I think the people of Pittsburgh and Steelers fans around the world know that football's my passion, and I want to get out there and show them that."

Temporary Ban On Welfare Drug Testing Upheld
A federal appeals court has upheld a temporary ban on a Florida law requiring drug testing of welfare recipients. The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta ruled Tuesday that a lower court was right to temporarily halt enforcement of Florida's drug-testing program. The opinion says the state had failed to show a "substantial special need" for the testing.

I had a total hip replacement in January 09. I recovered well, walking without a cane 7 days after surgery. I have developed mid thigh pain in the leg with the replaced hip.
If your stem is uncemented, you may be experiencing what is called "end-of-stem" pain. If you click on this link you will find a discussion of post-THR hip pain which may interest you.
And if you scroll down to:
"Thigh pain in cementless total hip", you will find remarks that consider the kind of pain you may be having. In the final analyses, you need to bring this up with your surgeon if the pain persists. Here is what Dr. Surin says about end-of-stem pain:
"pain from a cementless femur component is quite frequent during the first two postoperative years, although the X-ray shows well healed shaft of the total hip prosthesis.
The pain if felt in the thigh, it may be worse during or after much activity / motion.
There is no known treatment for this type of pain. In some patients this pain successively diminishes and disappears completely, in other patients the pain lasts unchanged.
In some studies cementless prostheses with apatite coating proved to produce only slight thigh pain."

Ladies in lace!
It's highly unlikely that even the most fashion-forward leady lady would wear the same outfit as pop superstar Lady Gaga, but a certain Tom Ford dress seems to be a rare exception.
Emma Stone stepped out in a black version of the structured, lace ensemble at the Crazy, Stupid, Love premiere in NYC July 19. Stone, 22, paired the sophisticated number with Christian Louboutin suede pumps and wore her fiery red hair in an elegant side-parted style, plus a deep fuchsia lip color.
At an appearance on MTV News in NYC August 18, Lady Gaga, 25, donned the original white version of the design, with sleeves, straight off the Tom Ford Fall 2011 runway. The megastar accented the outfit with strands of pearls and a gold brooch to tie in the retro style of the dress. And in true Gaga form, she sported a giant white bloom-inspired hat.

Time bomb to market meltdown ticks louder
Commentary: Prepare for zero growth, no recovery, resource wars
By Paul B. Farrell
Jan. 18, 2013
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) – Mr. Buffett, "do you think there will be another bubble leading to a huge recession?" asked the interviewer. Oh yes, in fact, "I can guarantee it." Guarantee it.
The interviewer shook his head: "Why can't we learn the lessons of the last recession? Look where greed has gotten us." Then with one of his familiar impish grins, the great master replied, "Greed is fun for a while. People can't resist it." But "however far human beings have come, we haven't grown up emotionally at all. We remain the same."
Warren Buffett made that prediction shortly after the 2008 Wall Street banking meltdown. The world's third-richest billionaire personally guaranteeing another bubble … guaranteeing America another market meltdown … guaranteeing the world another "huge recession." Now here we are four years later, and the ticking time bomb gets louder as we keep watching an avalanche of predictions echoing Buffett's warnings.
Deepak Chopra mentions Buffett's on-air prediction in the "Shadow Effect," a brilliant bit of psychology that helps explain why the investor's brain is trapped in denial, incapable of hearing a warning of a market and economic collapse.
Uncle Warren must be chomping at the bit, sitting on a cash hoard, more than $20 billion, waiting to rush in, buy when the bottom drops, exposing millions of investors lulled back by those pre-2008 delusions about a new long-term bull market.

NEW YORK - Milwaukee Brewers slugger Ryan Braun said he used the person who ran the Florida clinic under investigation by Major League Baseball only as a consultant on his drug suspension appeal last year.
"I have nothing to hide," Braun said in a statement released to The Associated Press on Tuesday night. Earlier in the day, Yahoo Sports reported the 2011 NL MVP's name showed up three times in records of the Biogenesis of America LLC clinic. Yahoo said no specific performance-enhancing drugs were listed next to his name.
The Miami New Times recently released clinic documents that purportedly linked Alex Rodriguez, Gio Gonzalez, Melky Cabrera and other players to purchases of banned drugs from the now-closed anti-aging center.
Braun said his name was in the Biogenesis records because of an issue over payment to Anthony Bosch, who ran the clinic near Miami. MLB has asked the Miami alternative newspaper for the documents it obtained.
