It is descriptive term for the degenerative spine on CT or MRI. Central disk herniation means a central and posterior protrusion of disk material. Posterolateral disc protrusion indicates herniation of disk along the posterolateral margin of the disk to the spinal canal. Disc spur complex denotes a combined degenerative process with which the protruded disk is accompanied with adjacent bone change with spurring.

The next annular solar eclipse will be on January 15, 2010. It will be visible from central Africa across the Indian Ocean to the southern tip of India, Sri Lanka, and across to central China.
