How much is billboard lease in Philadelphia?

No one advertises their prices. For better locations you are looking at a couple thousand (or thereabouts) per mo. All those that have the space will try to inflate their effectiveness and get as much for them (out of you) as they can. You will have to request a quote from multiple companies with the area you have in mind but if you are on a small budget, would go some other route for advertising.

How wide is a street?

According to US codes:

The minimum width of the pavement of major streets shall be sixty-four (64) feet; of secondary streets, forty (40) feet; and of minor streets, thirty-four (34) feet; all measured between the faces of curbs. The minimum width of alleys, private ways and divided streets, shall be twenty (20) feet, measured between the curbs, separating strip, or other limitations to the traveled way. The minimum width of islands or dividing strips in divided street shall be three (3) feet when no electroliers are located therein and six (6) feet when such obstructions exist. (1941 Code § 1997 (2), Ord. 541, (1953))

Not sure if that can vary from state to state though.

Should you worry about going 75-80 mph in the Philadelphia area when everyone else is?

The fact that everyone else is going to same speed will not be a defense if you are stopped and ticketed for speeding. If you are worried about getting a ticket, then yes you should worry about speeding even if everyone else is. Yes, it is unlikely that you will be the one stopped, but someone has to be that person.

Well, at the risk of sounding parental:

Would you jump off a bridge just because everyone else does?

Laws are made an enforced for a reason. They may not always make sense to you, indeed, some make no sense at all, but there is a reason.

It may seem OK to do it because 'everyone else' is doing it. But rest assured people do get caught and ticketed, whether you are there to see it or not.

Wait until you or someone you care about is involved in (or, Heaven forbid, injured or killed in) a speed related wreck. Will you still feel the same way?

I reckon it all depends on how strictly enforced the speed limit is in your area. Notwithstanding the patronizing "would you jump off a bridge if everyone else does" answer someone provided, on interstates and similar highways/bi-ways it is usually in the best interest of the safety of yourself and those around you to move with the flow of traffic, provided it is not moving at a speed greater than your vehicle can safely and reliably travel. Many law enforcement agencies are aware of this, and that is why they will often let traffic travel at a "consensus" pace, even if that pace is well above the speed limit. I know this to be the case in the Chicago area, where one car traveling the speed limit while everyone else is doing 20 to 30 over is liable to cause a bottleneck and get someone hurt. IL state troopers would rather see traffic flow smoothly, even at 25MPH over the limit, than see a handful of people clogging up the flow but technically obeying the law. (They are less forgiving in less populated areas downstate where traffic is too thin for a "consensus" speed to form.) Please note that law enforcement's tendency to allow speeding under certain circumstances is NOT a license to drive as fast as you want. Even if everyone else is speeding, they WILL nail you if you're driving faster than everyone else and/or weaving in and out of traffic.

If you find your local highway enforcement will permit traffic to move at a consensus pace, it is best for you to move at that same pace. If, however, they are inclined to pick people out of the pack to give them tickets, you may want to drive a bit slower than the consensus pace, as the cops are far more likely to pull over someone who is passing you. My brief tenure as a PA resident left me with the impression that the state troopers are the type who would rather pick people out than let them establish a safe consensus pace. At least that was the case in Pittsburgh. Your experience on the other end of the state may be different.

Something that I have noticed with experience. It all depends on the area that you are driving in, as the user above stated. Usually the faster driver is the one that gets picked out of the pack. Typically officers monitor the left lane and focus their radar on this particular point and wait for someone to break their own justified speed limit. They are only there to keep you in line. Usually they will pull someone over just to be as a warning to other drivers, as to let them know that they are monitored. Even if the subject doesn't get a ticket, none of the other drivers know that. As long as they see that someone is pulled over, they will typically slow down in that part of the highway/road.

Lordosis?

Definition

Lordosis is an increased curving of the spine.

Alternative Names

Swayback

Considerations

The spine has three types of curves:

  • Kyphotic curves refer to the outward curve of the thoracic spine (at the level of the ribs).
  • Lordotic curves refer to the inward curve of the lumbar spine (just above the buttocks).
  • Scoliotic curving is a sideways curvature of the spine and is always abnormal.

A small degree of both kyphotic and lordotic curvature is normal. Too much kyphotic curving causes round shoulders or hunched shoulders (Scheuermann's disease).

Too much lordotic curving is called swayback (lordosis). Lordosis tends to make the buttocks appear more prominent. Children with significant lordosis will have a significant space beneath their lower back when lying on their back on a hard surface.

If the lordotic curve is flexible (when the child bends forward the curve reverses itself), it is generally not a concern. If the curve does not move, medical evaluation and treatment are needed.

Common Causes
  • Achondroplasia
  • Benign juvenile lordosis (not medically significant)
  • Spondylolisthesis
Home Care

If the back is flexible, lordosis is usually not treated and will not progress or cause problems.

Call your health care provider if

Call your health care provider if you notice that your child has an exaggerated posture or a curve in the back. The condition should be evaluated to determine if there is a medical problem.

What to expect at your health care provider's office

The health care provider will perform a physical exam. The child may be asked to bend forward, to the side, and to lie flat on a table so that the spine can be examined in a variety of positions.

Questions about the child's medical history will be asked, including:

  • Time pattern
    • When did you first notice the excessive curve?
    • Is it getting worse or more noticeable?
    • Is it ever better or worse than when examined by the health care provider?
  • Quality
    • How would you describe the curve?
    • Does the amount of curve seem to change?
  • Symptoms
    • What other symptoms are also present?

In some cases, particularly if the curve seems "fixed" (not bendable), the following or other diagnostic tests may be recommended:

What are the laws regarding squatters rights in Pennsylvania?

We don't have anything called 'squatter's rights' in the United States. Squatters are trespassers and they have no rights during their period of trespass. If someone occupies your property without permission you should seek legal advice immediately and take the steps necessary to have them removed from your property. Any vacant property should be secured and checked regularly for unauthorized occupants.

In the traditional common law a person could obtain title to property through use. The common law has been codified under state and federal statutes. Under the various state codes, a person must use the land for a certain number of years, without permission and right out in the open for all the world to see.

If the owner does nothing she is considered to have abandoned the property and the adverse possessor can claim the land. The method of claiming by adverse possession varies from state to state. Some states require only that a notice be recorded in the land records. Other states require that an action be brought in a court of equity and if the plaintiff can prove his case the judge issues a court order that establishes title in the plaintiff.

If a person uses or lives on another person's land with permission, no matter how long, they are barred from making an adverse possession claim. The time period required in Pennsylvania for an adverse possession claim is 21 years.

Adverse possession has a dark side in American history when during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries black land owners were run off their land in several states, barred from returning and their "abandoned" farms were taken by adverse possession by others who were not in the minority.



How Choose from the Top Medical Schools?

If you are planning to become a medical doctor, then you have certainly made a wise choice. The healthcare industry is only expected to continue to grow in the coming years and decades. Doctors will be ever more in demand, and you should probably expect your salary to rise as the demand for medical care increases. Even better, physicians are one of the professions which most certainly helps society the most. You’ll feel great knowing that your time is spent improving the health of others and saving lives.

However, you may be torn about which medical school you should attend. In 2010, U.S. News issued a report of the top medical schools in the country. The top three schools were Harvard University, University of Pennsylvania, and Johns Hopkins University. If you want to go to medical school, these are undoubtedly the schools from which you should make your choice. But are there any other geographic benefits to these schools? Let’s take a look at some of the further considerations.

1. Harvard University

Harvard Medical School was far and away the #1 ranked medical school. It’s located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, right outside of Boston. If you move here, you can expect to live in the heart of one of the most progressive cities in the nation. While the debate about national healthcare rages on, Massachusetts has already had state-mandated healthcare for quite some time. You will also have access to some of the best sports teams in the nation, such as the Boston Red Sox, the Boston Celtics, and the New England Patriots.

2. University of Pennsylvania

Located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the University of Pennsylvania is also a great choice for attending medical school. You’ll be living in the city with the 6th most robust economy in the nation. This is also the home of Benjamin Franklin, and you’ll have plenty of opportunities to gamble if you wish to do so - it was recently legalized in the state of Pennsylvania.

3. Johns Hopkins University

This medical school is located in Baltimore, which is one of the few independent cities in America. You’ll also have quick access to Washington, DC if you wish to do some sightseeing.
