This application claims the priority benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/611,187, filed Sep. 17, 2004, the disclosure of which is hereby fully incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates generally to hand held medical treatment devices, and more particularly, to devices for treating root canal cavities.
Various hand operated instruments exist for use by dentists, endodontists and other medical professionals. For example, during root canal procedures, dental pulp is removed in the area of the root canals and the dentist or endodontist obturates the tooth by filling the hollow, enlarged canals with a suitable filler material and then sealing the tooth. This prevents further infection of the tooth and/or surrounding area. Typically, the root canal is obturated by injecting gutta percha or other material in a softened and highly viscous condition. The gutta percha then hardens within the enlarged and cleaned root canals, while also retaining some resiliency. Usually root canal filler materials are thermoplastic in that they are initially solid or semi-solid and become softened and extrudable after heating. Various other types of materials may be extruded or otherwise dispensed during dental, endodontic or other medical procedures. Such instruments may or may not have disposable compules or cartridges of the material which may be inserted into the device, heated just prior to use, and disposed of after the treatment.
Various needs for improvement exists in the area of medical devices that are hand-operated and, even more particularly, in the area of hand-operated dental and/or endodontic instruments that dispense materials. Such needs include, for example, manners to improve the ability to easily allow for sterilization and reuse of the device on different patients, the ability to efficiently and uniformly preheat a disposable cartridge or compule of material, and the ability to efficiently manufacture an effective single-use needle or cannula associated with the single-use cartridge or compule of material. These and other areas of improvement are addressed by the present invention.
In one aspect, the invention provides an apparatus for dispensing a material during a dental or endodontic procedure. The apparatus generally comprises a housing including a motor with an output, a proximal end and a distal end extending along a longitudinal axis. A needle heating member, including a chamber, extends around the longitudinal axis proximate the distal end. An opening in the housing at the distal end extends around the longitudinal axis. The opening communicates with the chamber and is configured to receive a disposable needle prefilled with the material. A plunger or piston is coupled with the motor and is configured to expel the material from the needle during activation of the motor. A heater at least substantially surrounds the chamber for heating the material in the needle.
Various additional aspects include the provision of a removable, autoclavable sheath for surrounding the housing. The sheath may be comprised of a first member and a second member with the first member being longer than the second member and more rigid than the second member. The second member is positioned at and covers at least a portion of the distal end of the housing. This, for example, can help seal the housing. In addition, the second member may be formed from a resilient and/or heat insulative material to provide comfort and protection to both the user and the patient.
In another aspect of the invention, a heat conductive support piece is in thermal contact with a needle heating member associated with the chamber. The heat conductive support piece provides a heat sink to store heat energy and, upon initial insertion of the needle, transfer the heat energy to the material in the needle. The heat conductive support piece is therefore designed to avoid dissipating heat to the environment or air space surrounding the support piece and instead retains the heat for use in assisting with heating the material in the needle. The heat conductive support piece may be formed from a heat conductive, nonmetallic material, or any other material of known, relatively high heat conductivity. The support piece may make intermittent contact or full contact with the internal wall surfaces of the housing.
In another aspect, a reusable protective sheath is provided and capable of being attached to and removed from a hand-operated medical instrument. The sheath generally comprises a rigid body portion having a generally tubular, elongate shape with proximal and distal ends and having at least one connector portion for releasably connecting the body portion to the hand-operated medical instrument. This connector portion may, for example, simply be a friction fit or may comprise an actual mechanical connector or fastener of any suitable type. An outer boot portion is coupled to at least the distal end of the body portion and extends toward the proximal end. The outer boot portion surrounds the rigid body portion and is formed from a material more resilient than the body portion. This outer boot portion may be formed from a separate piece which is then affixed, for example, by friction to the rigid body portion, or may be formed onto the body portion during a manufacturing operation, such as by a molding operation.
The invention further contemplates a method of manufacturing a needle for use in dispensing a material during a dental or endodontic procedure. The method generally comprises drawing a blank of metal into a tubular element having an opened proximal end and a closed distal end extending along a first axis. The blank is bent during a bending operation such that a proximal portion of the blank extends along the first axis and a distal portion of the blank extends along a different, second axis oriented at an acute angle relative to the first axis. A portion of the drawn metal is removed from the distal end to open the distal end thereby forming the needle capable of dispensing the material through the open distal end.
Various additional objectives, advantages and features of the invention will be appreciated from a review of the following detailed description of the illustrative embodiments taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention and, together with a general description of the invention given above, and the detailed description given below, serve to explain the invention.

Regarding the method of manufacturing needle 16, a blank will be drawn from a flat plate of material, such as silver, such that it extends along a single axis, and has a hollow interior with a closed distal end. In this form, the blank would not function as a needle since it would not dispense material due to the closed distal end. Once drawn, the blank is bent to a predetermined angle, such as the 60� (+5�/−35�) as shown in
In use, the end cap 34 is removed from the housing 20 so that the proximal portion 30 of the needle 16 may be inserted into the cavity 42 and properly positioned along the longitudinal axis 26. Thus, the axis 80 of needle 16 will generally be aligned with the longitudinal axis 26 of hand piece 12. After replacing the end cap 34 and sliding the barrier 14 over the housing 20, the heating element 60 may be activated to raise the temperature of the gutta percha material 70. The present invention further contemplates several advantageous features to avoid unnecessary heating. For example, a sensor (not shown) may be positioned within the housing 20 to determine if the needle 16 has been inserted. If the needle 16 is not present, the heating element 60 will not operate. The display associated with the hand piece 12 will also indicate that the needle 16 is not in place. Second, the heating element 60 may be programmed to automatically shut off after a predetermined amount of time. Such a feature helps prevent the degradation of the gutta percha material 70 by protecting it from prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures. Third, the heating element 60 may be disabled to allow for room temperature extrusion or dispensing of materials other than gutta percha.
Once the gutta percha 70 has been heated to the appropriate temperature for extrusion, which may be approximately 200� C., the user may grip the apparatus 10 in the manner of a pen and activate the extrusion motor 40 by pressing a button 90 (
The operation of the motor 40 causes the lead screw 48 to rotate within plunger 52. This causes plunger 52 to travel along the longitudinal axis 26. As the plunger 52 moves towards the front end 22, the plunger end 54 contacts the piston ball 72 and forces the gutta percha 70 out of the needle 16. At any point during operation, the user may release the button 90 to stop the extrusion of the gutta percha 70. Furthermore, the control circuitry of the apparatus 10 may be programmed to cause the plunger end 54 to back up slightly to help prevent any further extrusion once the button 90 has been released.
Once the operation or extrusion process has been completed, the motor 40 may be set to rotate in a reverse direction to rotate the lead screw 48 in an opposite direction and thereby retract plunger 52 and end 54. The end cap 34 may then be removed and the needle 16 may be discarded and replaced with a new needle 16, prefilled with material. Because the gutta percha 70 is pre-loaded into the disposable needle 16, the need to remove residual gutta percha material from the hand piece 12 is eliminated. Furthermore, significant benefits are realized from the construction of the needle 16, as well as from its method of manufacture. Relative to the construction, the angle 84 allows easier access to the interior of a patient's tooth during use. Since the needle 16 is pre-bent, there is less likelihood that a dental professional will kink or otherwise damage the needle 16 while attempting to bend the needle 16 to suit a particular patient. Relative to the method of manufacture, leaving the end of the drawn blank closed during the bending operation helps to ensure that the distal end 74 is not crushed during the bending operation. This is due to the fact that the closed end imparts significant added strength to the distal end 74 in the cross-sectional direction.
Before loading a new needle for a second operation, the hand piece 12 must be sterilized to avoid cross-contamination between patients. Because sterilization processes, such as autoclaving, can take significant amounts of time, a second embodiment of the present invention includes a reusable sheath 100, as shown in
Unlike the barrier 14, the sheath 100 includes a body portion 102 that is designed to closely follow the contours of a substantial portion of the hand piece 12. The body portion 102 is removably coupled to the hand piece 12 and may be formed from a metal or plastic material capable of repeated autoclave cycling. Alternatively, sheath 100 may be a single-use disposable sheath. The sheath 100 also includes a flexible seal portion 104 designed to provide an effective seal around an orifice 106, which may receive needles or other components necessary for medical treatment. For example, body portion 102 may be an aluminum sheath that extends along at least substantially the entire length of the hand piece 12 and has a snap fit, friction fit or other easily accomplished manner of connection and disconnection with the hand piece 12. The flexible seal portion 104 may be formed as a resilient generally cylindrically shaped boot that is retained on a distal portion of the body portion 102 by friction. The boot may, for example, be formed of silicone rubber. In this way, the boot performs a sealing function at the distal end of the hand piece and provides a thermal shield to prevent hot surfaces of the hand piece from contacting the patient during treatment. Because both the body portion 102 and seal portion 104 are made from autoclavable or disposable materials, a user can purchase multiple sheaths for a particular hand piece and keep clean units ready for use, thereby avoiding sterilization down-time between patients.

The support piece 260 at the proximal end of the heater and temperature sensor assembly 252 may take on various forms. In one embodiment, it may comprise a thermally insulative plastic piece, such as a thermally insulative form of Ultem™ available from General Electric, or any other known suitable insulative material. Other embodiments are advantageously formed of heat conductive plastic, metal or any other heat conductive material. Suitable heat conductive plastics or composites may include, for example, CoolPoly E Series plastics, available from Cool Polymers, Inc. and Konduit, available from General Electric. For example, the material of piece 260 has a thermal conductivity of at least about 40 W/mK. Support piece 260 may also transfer heat to the housing 220 since the sheath 100 is spaced from the housing 220 and therefore provides a thermal shield to the user. Heat conductive materials such as these are available in various base resins Polypropylene (PP), Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), liquid crystal polymers (LCP), nylon (PA), Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) and PEI (Ultem based). Different thermally conductive fillers (such as ceramics, carbon fiber, graphite, etc.) provide the desired thermal conductivity. Such heat conductive materials would, for example, provide a heat sink for storing thermal energy which, upon insertion of a new, needle 16 filled with material at room temperature, transfer the stored heat energy to the cooler needle 16 and material therein. The support piece 260 is designed to have supportive multi-point contact with the surrounding inner walls of the housing 220 or associated structure and would therefore transfer some heat to the housing 220, especially if the housing 220 were formed from metal such as an aluminum casting. Much of the stored heat energy would, however, be stored in the support piece 260 and available for transfer into the needle 16. This feature allows for faster initial heating of the inserted needle upon start up. Another embodiment of a heat conductive support member is described below in connection with
While the present invention has been illustrated by the description of one or more embodiments thereof, and while the embodiments have been described in considerable detail, they are not intended to restrict or in any way limit the scope of the appended claims to such detail. Additional advantages and modifications will readily appear to those skilled in the art. The invention in its broader aspects is therefore not limited to the specific details, representative apparatus and method and illustrative examples shown and described. Accordingly, departures may be made from such details without departing from the scope or spirit of the general inventive concept.

I have written efficiency expression in CFX pre. It will give me a value of efficiency at each step.
Efficiency expression I have written in CFX by:
Efficiency= (((P02/P01)^(0.4/1.4))-1)/((T02/T01)-1)
P01= massFlowAve(ptotstn)@R1 Inlet
P02= massFlowAve(ptotstn)@R1 Outlet
T01= massFlowAve(Ttotstn)@R1 Inlet
T02= massFlowAve(Ttotstn)@R1 Outlet
But now I want to stop calculation once it reaches to certain convergence criteria. This need to record efficiency as a variable of iteration step.
Is anyone know how to define a variable expression in CFX pre???
Thanks in Advance...!!!!
Solver Control >> Interrupt Control
I know that.
But how to provide Eff as a function of iteration? As by defining expression it is just take value a single step at a time.

Centralia College Offers Continuing Education Course Covering How Native Americans Bred Bigfoot to Battle Solutreans
The continuing education department at Centralia College of Centralia, Washington began offering an adult education course which claims that Bigfoot is a Native American and ape hybrid who was hugely "influential" in the culture of the Solutreans, whom educator Mitchel Townsend (a candidate for a doctorate in education) identifies as "the first Americans." The course is called "The Old Ones, the Firsts Americans," and it started running on Saturday, the first of four two-hour sessions. According to a newspaper article touting the course, it's essentially a mishmash of various fringe archaeology claims woven together with the growing myth of Bigfoot
Townsend's evidence, as described in the article, is laughably awful. He collected a bunch of rocks with dark splotches on them, and like a History Channel Rorschach test, he sees in those splotches all manner of imaginary things: "The pictures on the rocks, which still need to be carbon dated, include elephants, bears and what he describes as a hybrid hominin in a similar pose to the Patterson-Gimlin film, which shows an unidentified subject thought to be bigfoot." Carbon dating a rock! Centralia College educates its students but good. Despite a lack of "carbon dating," Townsend is confident that his rock pictures are at least 20,000 years old, and while he says that he has not finished an academic paper that will thoroughly analyze the findings, he is also sure that the splotches were left by the Solutreans. Further, "bigfoot had to be an important part of their society" if there is a splotch that looks like a big ape.
Townsend, who has repeatedly claimed to have found evidence for Bigfoot such as teeth marks near his home in Washington, describes himself as a college volunteer and says that he teaches the course for free. Townsend has previously offered a continuing education class in "Bigfoot 101," but the cost to learn about fictitious giant apes has risen significantly. In 2014, the Bigfoot 101 course was just $5, but today The Old Ones will set you back $20.
While I don't care much about Bigfoot per se, several of Townsend's claims are interesting enough to warrant my attention. The first and most obvious is the idea that the Solutreans were the first and true native Americans. Dennis Sanford of the Smithsonian proposed that Stone Age Spaniards called Solutreans came to America's east coast and brought with them fluted points used by the Clovis people thousands of years later, but the idea that these European visitors colonized the whole of the Americas is a fantasy typically found among white nationalists, who (wrongly) think of the Solutreans as the first white conquerors of America. (Genetic evidence suggests that white skin had not evolved when they lived.) Townsend's adoption of this fringe belief seems typically of the bleeding together of various brands of dissent from the historical mainstream. Townsend supports his version with recourse to post-Contact Native American legends about a prior race, legends long used by hyper-diffusionists to allege that white Europeans preceded Native Americans. Townsend differs, though, from the white nationalists in that he sees the Solutrean colonists as "primitive" rather than possessed of Atlantis-like superlative culture.
The equally interesting, but even more troubling, claim is the idea that Native Americans and apes cross-bred to create Bigfoot. The article puts it this way: "Townsend concluded the human-like teeth imprints, accompanied by footsteps with a length of 16 inches, belong to a creature like bigfoot who shares the genetic makeup of Native Americans and an ape." I couldn't believe anyone would say such a thing, so I checked, and it turns out that Townsend's actual claim, given to a newspaper in 2015, is worse: "My theory is it's not an ape, it's a hybrid that has been interbreeding with Native Americans for the last 80,000 years," Townsend said. "That's why it is so smart and it has human teeth."
So, to recap: Native Americans enjoy bestiality and created a race of carnivorous ape hybrids which they used to wipe out the European people who were here first and were the true original Americans.
Good to know what our colleges are teaching these days, even if it is under the lesser banner of continuing education.

Looking at the picture shown with the article, it appears to me that is a natural etching of some kind on the rock. It is probably caused by either water or a mild acid caused by rain water. Such things are very common.

Gosh, I could have been picking up stones in my backyard's secret location instead of spending all that money on grilled cheese sandwiches from eBay.

Where are the Native Americans getting the apes from?

Vedic traders brought them over on flying vimanas. The Solutreans confused these traders with Native Americans, which is why the latter are now known as Indians.
Bob Jase
4/10/2017 02:12:01 pm
Anyone who doubts the claim of the importance of bigfoot to the Solutreans need only look at the huge amount of bigfoot related articles the Solutreans left scattered across Europe.
4/10/2017 02:51:17 pm
Who was mating with the apes? Did the Solutreans hump the apes and greet the Asian migration as Bigfeet? Or did the Asians arrive in the Americas, hook up with the hominins and range east to eliminate the Solutreans?
4/10/2017 03:01:31 pm
One could say it's not really bestiality if it produces offspring, especially non-sterile offspring.
4/10/2017 05:29:34 pm
"My theory is it's not an ape, it's a hybrid that has been interbreeding with Native Americans for the last 80,000 years,"
4/10/2017 06:35:08 pm
Now we've got some real non-sense going on.
4/10/2017 09:33:31 pm
So your version of his version is that they are still mating with fertile females. That makes a lot more sense than my version of his version. A race of North American apes remaining hidden for centuries is kind of crazy, isn't it. This makes much more sense. Thank you for correcting me.

4/10/2017 10:33:11 pm
I take it that all of this interbreeding with apes hooey stems from some kind of racial slight about species that appear not quite human, Bigfoot, or something, getting with humans, Natives, because they are to these guys on the same level with the apes.
4/10/2017 10:38:35 pm
...or they just really want to get with an ape...for science! Okay then, they are welcome to try. Good luck with that. The more they're fascinated with fictitious ape men, the more it is pausew to wonder if they're just into that kind of thing, want to move to the Congo, and attempt a sociology experiment or breeding program of their own. The apes however might complain. Their social class might reject these guys as too annoying and force them out. Most chimps are polygamists, but they would make an exception. Ha.

FYI: Townsend also goes by "Johnny Dagger."
4/11/2017 04:33:34 pm
Dagger? What is he, a reject from a late 1970s gangland teen drama? Need him a tough sounding name, right? Uhu.
4/11/2017 07:07:40 pm
I guess Townsend is not aware that the Solutrean hypothesis is in deep trouble right now due to certain DNA results that indicate no Europeans were in in America at that time it seems.
Shane Sullivan
4/12/2017 01:24:28 am
It's no big shock they took 5,000 years to get here. With no knowledge of medical science, the Solutrean seamen would have been extremely careful and deliberate, and would have taken their time crossing the Atlantic.

The "dark splotch" on the "Bigfoot" rock, now dark-colored mudstone, was clearly once mud mixed into sand, now sandstone, by soft sediment deformation. The obvious explanation is not that "Bigfoot" is a painting. Rather, "Bigfoot" is what remains of a flame structure formed by soft-sediment deformation that occurs when a layer of higher-density sand is deposited fluid, lower-density mud. The inversion of density and fluid nature of the mud causes upward-pointing flame-like tongues of sediment to intrude into the overlying denser and coarser sand. Later, the mud became lithified into mudstone and the sandstone became lithified into sandstone from which the "Bigfoot"pebble was erdoed.

They have released many running shoes, both for women and men and they really understand what a runner needs in a shoe. The Nike women's Free Run 5.0 is just another great example of this understanding they have. This new running shoe was released in 2014, and was an upgrade from the previous Free 3.0 and Free 4.0 models.

Every season (okay, maybe every week) I get the itch to try the latest in beauty. Lots of new spring beauty products have just launched, and I'm seeing so many things I want to try.
- I can't wait to try these new Bobbi Brown liquid lipsticks! I particularly want to try the shade "Lilly".
- This Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream moisturizer isn't new, but it's definitely on my wishlist! I've heard great things about it. Just check out the before and after pic here! I'm always game for trying new skincare (even though my skin usually disagrees)!
- Tom Ford can basically do no wrong (in fashion or in beauty). I love glowing skin for spring/summer, and a liquid illuminator, like this one, is definitely on my list!
- It's time for some new nail shades! I'm obsessed with this opaque periwinkle shade from Smith & Cult, and also this lavendar/pinky one (Fauntleroy). I also have my eye on this perfect nude (shade #548) from Chanel.
- This Smashbox highlighter trio is currently in my cart, and on sale for under $30. Can a girl ever have enough highlighter? 😉
- I'm long overdue for a fragrance update. I was checking out the new Viktor & Rolf BonBon at Sephora, and it smells amazing. The key notes are caramel, mandarin, and orange blossom!
- This Lorac Pro eyeshadow palette is not new for spring, but it's definitely something I'll be purchasing. I've been stalking it for a while now. The neutral shades will go with everything!
- Hello new blush! This is the blush I'll be wearing going into summer (in shade Radiant Magenta). I've been hooked on the Hourglass ambient lighting highlighter, so I'm sure I'll love this blush, too!
- Raise your hand if you don't have enough counter space in your bathroom? Me me me! This GLAMboard is a must-have, especially if you like to keep your makeup organized. I can't wait to get one!
- These Rouge Coco glosses from Chanel just launched! I'm dying to try them. I've been a fan of the glossimers for years, and these are replacing them in the line. Chanel glosses are my favorite EVER. I'm most excited to try the shades 'Icing' and 'Douceur'.
I hope you're feeling inspired to try some new products and colors for spring! Let me know if you pick up any of these products. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

L'évaluation du RMI : la simplification de la démarche et ses enjeux
This paper analyses the different evaluation programs which have been conducted since the beginning of the minimum income policy in 1989. It's aimed at interpreting the links between the evaluation models and the policies. Two approaches can be highlighted ; the first one, that we can all " pluralistic approach " started with the early works of the national evaluation committee until the mid-90's and combined many purposes and procedures. Despite the extensive knowledge gained about the problems of poverty, it led to very few public decisions. The second approach initiated in the mid-90's resulted from the rising cost of the policy of minimum income due to the increasing number of beneficiaries. By focusing on simple indicators of efficiency and using econometric methods, the analysis appears more restrictive but it led to policy decisions which deeply modified the minimum income policy.

Senator Ted Cruz designated as one of the most anti-LGBT members of Congress
WASHINGTON – The Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the nation's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) civil rights organization, today inducted Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) into the inaugural class of the most anti-equality members of Congress. Senator Cruz is being inducted into HRC's Hall of Shame along with 18 other anti-equality Members of the 113th Congress.
"Although Congress is beginning to catch up with the American people in supporting LGBT equality, Senator Cruz's record stands in stark contrast to the views of the majority of Americans," said David Stacy, HRC's Government Affairs Director. "Senator Cruz has gone out of his way to oppose steps toward equal protection under the law or to protect LGBT Americans from violence, discrimination and harassment. He proactively works to undermine existing legal protections and promote anti-LGBT discrimination."
Senator Cruz likes to stand out in a crowd. As the author of the federal "State Marriage Defense Act" introduced in February, he collaborated with his Texas colleague Rep. Randy Weber to make sure his same-sex married constituents would have no federal protections. He is actively working to prevent marriage equality from becoming a reality for all Americans. Following the Supreme Court's action on Monday to reject the appeals requests of five states with same-sex marriage bans ruled unconstitutional by lower courts, Senator Cruz announced he will introduce a constitutional amendment barring the federal government and the courts from overturning state marriage laws.
Released in advance of the HRC Scorecard for the 113th Congress, HRC identified these elected officials as the most anti-equality members of Congress by looking at their voting records in this and previous Congresses, their introduction and co-sponsorships of anti-LGBT legislation, and their public statements. While there are other anti-LGBT members of Congress, these elected officials' legislative actions, votes and anti-LGBT vitriol unfortunately marks them with a modern day scarlet letter.
The inductees into the inaugural class of HRC's Hall of Shame are:
House (14): Senate (5):
Michele Bachman (R-MN) Ted Cruz (R-TX)
Louie Gohmert (R-TX) Michael Enzi (R-WY)
Andy Harris (R-MD) James Inhofe (R-OK)
Tim Huelskamp (R-KS) Mike Lee (R-UT)
Jim Jordan (R-OH) Jeff Sessions (R-AL)
Walter Jones (R-NC)
Mike Kelly (R- PA)
Steve King (R-IA)
Doug LaMalfa (R-CA)
Mike McIntyre (D-NC)
Randy Neugebauer (R-TX)
Steve Pearce (R-NM)
Tim Walberg (R-MI)
Randy Weber (R-TX)
Each of these officials is a sponsor or cosponsor of some or all of the most anti-LGBT legislation that, if passed, would enshrine discrimination into our nation's body of laws and our Constitution. In the U.S. House of Representatives, this includes the Federal Marriage Amendment, the Child Welfare Provider Inclusion Act, the Marriage and Religious Freedom Act, the Military Religious Freedom Protection Act, and the State Marriage Defense Act. In the U.S. Senate, this includes the Child Welfare Provider Inclusion Act, the Marriage and Religious Freedom Act, and the State Marriage Defense Act.
The release of the HRC Congressional Scorecard measuring support for equality in the 113th Congress is scheduled for Thursday, October 9th. The scorecard will be available online here.
The Human Rights Campaign is America's largest civil rights organization working to achieve lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality. By inspiring and engaging all Americans, HRC strives to end discrimination against LGBT citizens and realize a nation that achieves fundamental fairness and equality for all.

The best prize in the galaxy? €78k tourist trip to space
At prices ranging from a hefty €78,000 ($110,000) to €141,000,00 ($200,000) a ticket, the world's first tourist trip into space was only ever going to be affordable for the rich and famous.
But a company in the United States is offering what could arguably be the best competition prize in the galaxy – a free place on one of the world's first tourist ships into space.
In something more reminiscent of a science-fiction novel than reality, the winner will be blasted into space in a purpose-built conical vessel. The craft will then travel for 30 minutes upward (62 miles) to the boundary between Earth's atmosphere and outer space. At this point the two passengers will be able to unstrap themselves to experience six minutes of zero-gravity. Portholes in the tip of the ship will give them both 1500-mile views in either direction of the Earth's surface.
The online competition was launched yesterday by the Space Needle, an hourglass-shaped landmark in Seattle, to celebrate its 50th anniversary as well celebrating the evolution of space travel to the private industry.
The landmark will be running the competition in conjunction with a company called Space Adventures, who are currently competing with Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic in sending the first tourists to the outer perimeter of earth's atmosphere.
Celebrities who have already signed up for the tourism space race include Russell Brand, Dallas star Victoria Principal, film director Bryan Singer, designer Philippe Starck, scientist Professor Stephen Hawking, property developers the Candy brothers, and PayPal developer Elon Musk.
Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, the second man to land on the moon, helped announce the competition last night.
He said: "Private industry is going to gradually assume some of the things that government has been able to do only previously,"
"The ability to continue exploring space is going to be dependent on private citizens engaging in the business of taking people to space."
To enter the competition members of the public must submit their details into an online sweepstake which will run from August 1, 2011 until December 29, 2011.
A thousand names will then be selected at random and entered into a skills-based competition.
The winners of the skills competition will have to produce a one-minute video which will be put to the public vote and the final few candidates will then be reviewed by a panel. The overall winner will be announced in April next year.
Unfortunately, competition entry is only available to "legal residents" of the United States who are over 18 years of age.

"The consumer has moved online. I knew that till I dirtied my hands in that space, I would never know what it is like," said Aparna Chopra, who till recently was Costa Coffee's head of marketing for India, South East Asia, Middle East and North Africa.
Chopra quit her job in April to join eyewear startup Lenskart. "Traditional marketing has been all offline, but it was logical for me to understand the online space — that was my one big motivation.
Plus, there's so much to do in a startup — create from scratch, work across a broader spectrum and on aspects of business beyond marketing," said Chopra, now vice-president of strategy at Lenskart.
Before Costa, she held marketing roles in Yum! Restaurants and Nestle. Another example is Sandeep Kataria, who recently left his post as the Yum India marketing head to join Vodafone as chief marketing officer in the UK.
Store sales in the quick service restaurant (QSR) space dropped to 5% or lower about five quarters ago and the slump continues.
This week, Marico's marketing head Sameer Satpathy quit after 13 years with the company.
"The itch was moving from a traditional to an emerging category... That's where you can get the high of showing double-digit growth," said amarketing executive, who recently moved out of an established category.
Other names include former Glaxo SmithKline marketing head Shubajit Sen and former Coca-Cola India and GlaxoSmithKline executive Idimadakala Srinivas Murthy. While Sen has joined mobile handset maker Micromax, Murthy was wooed by online marketplace Snapdeal to join as senior vice-president of marketing.
"This could be the biggest bull phase in senior-level recruitments in marketing. This has also led to an upswing in executive compensation for this role. There's more demand chasing less talent," said Atul Vora, chief executive at search firm Transearch.
According to Vora, a 30-35% pay hike for roles that demand a transition is now common. "It's a function of demand-supply mismatch and marketing talent is being sought after by other industries. But the biggest disruptor leading to attrition in the FMCG and QSR space is the digital and e-commerce sectors. Some of the marketing professionals are even leaving to launch their own startups," Vora said.
That marketing talent from FMCG and consumer facing businesses such as QSRs is in demand is obvious from the searches and vacancies being advertised in real time.
Taxi aggregator Ola has advertised for the positions of head of sales and marketing in locations like Delhi, Bengaluru and Hyderabad. The job profile includes responsibility for supply growth in the city across products and categories, and Ola states it would prefer experience in managing a fast-paced business on-ground, preferably on the supply and procurement side — for example, an FMCG supply chain.
This week, Flipkart listed on LinkedIn the position of an associate director for the lifestyle category (sales and marketing) in Bengaluru. The role requires understanding customer behaviour and developing new insights. The knowledge of retail, consumer goods industry is a plus, the post said.
"I've moved on because it's like, if not now, then when? I know stability is a concern among startups, but given the challenges and money, it's worth taking the risk," said a marketing executive of one of the firms quoted in this story, requesting anonymity.
The consumer goods space has had a disappointing June quarter. A CRISIL Research report indicated that soft commodity prices, weak growth in investment-linked sectors and subdued rural demand would continue to restrict earnings in the quarter.
"FMCG is the first to get raided when there's any new industry which is heavily dependent on consumer interactions. Besides technology and user interface, what e-commerce needs is consumer insight to build growth," said Sangeeta Sabharwal, managing partner at Taplow Group India.
She pointed out that the jump in compensation offered to marketers is to level out the leap of faith they take since the ecommerce companies and startups are still a long way from turning profitable. "Joining a startup is like a substitute for not having started something yourself. The roles are challenging and enable greater say in decision making," she said.
Gauri Padmanabhan, senior partner with Heidrick & Struggles, who leads the firm's consumer practice, said attrition in marketing roles in the FMCG and consumer industry is certainly higher than last year.
"We are noticing this in our conversations with professionals looking to move from the industry as well as industries like ecommerce, which are looking to hire this talent. To marketers, these are interesting and innovative opportunities."
Ecommerce is about customer acquisition and how the company markets itself to the end consumer, which is different from brick and mortar companies. The trend is cyclical and is a function of the growing ecommerce and startups space, just like the telecom boom which led to a churn years ago."
Rohithari Rajan, who leads search firm Egon Zehnder's consumer products, retail and media practice in India, said, "Several MNC FMCG companies have recently re-organised, either to move to category-led models or to eliminate regional intermediary roles." This has affected senior marketers, as roles either get phased out or become less attractive."

S.H.E take on Taipei Arena; Selina's boyfriend: Wife, I love you
Source: UDN
Translated by catalie @ http://asianfanatics.net
Last night, when S.H.E emerged from a corolla 6 stories high and looked down at their 10,000 fans in Taipei Area, they truly established their position as the Mandarin music industry's "Heavenly Queen Group", and Selina's boyfriend shouting "Wife, I love you" was definitely the climax of the evening.
These three people have grown up, become sexy, but the affection and chemistry between them are proof that in their little universe, their harmonious relationship has not changed at all in the past 9 years.
Last night, among the guests was a special Mr. Zhang Cheng Zhong. He is Selina's boyfriend and during the second encore, he suddenly came up, holding a note that was moist from sweat and looking towards the stage he said, "I hope that S.H.E will not have to stop singing because of me," then following that he shouted, "Wife, I love you!" Selina was so shocked she started crying, then yelled, "Mom!", causing lots of cheering from the audience below.
This is already the 6th stop and the 7th concert of the "S.H.E Is The One" tour, it has been 4 years since S.H.E have performed at Taipei Arena, when they emerged, they displayed all their power as music queens and the fans became subjects looking up at the charm of their idols, "Superstar" was the anthem of their nation, establishing the atmosphere for the concert. They are a girl group that has been around 9 years yet S.H.E and their fans have such cohesion, Selina cried again during their 5th song.
Selina and Hebe secretly planned a celebration in advance for Ella's June 18 birthday, Ella originally tried not to cry when she realised how thoughtful her 'sisters' were, but when they sang "Wife", she couldnn't help but cry until even her nose went completely red. Following this, the three superstar mothers also had a surprise in store, first they played a pre-recorded VCR expressing how much they love their daughters, that they wanted their daughters to "come home when you're tired", then in a blink of an eye, they became "S.H.E. superstar mom version", singing "Not Yet Lovers", making S.H.E who were totally not expecting this, all end up crying. then their tears turned into laughter. The three girls cried very easily last night, there were many occasions when they had to ask their makeup artist Du Guo Zhang to come onstage to help them reapply their makeup in front of the audience.
The costumes were extravagant and surprises were numerous, but the focus was still on S.H.E's singing and dancing, the girls showed that they've become mature women now, showing their sexiness, revealing their shoulders and legs, twisting their hips. However, their conversations were very random and strange, when Selina finished the difficult dance, she cried, shouting, "Aiyo, now everyone can see that I'm wearing eyeliner." She also said to fans, "Even though I haven't showed you the tightest flesh, because I was skinnier in Hong Kong, I still gave you all a passionate heart."
Last night, Show Luo sent flowers, Taipei's mayor Hao Long Bin, Wang Wei Zhong, Kevin Tsai, Terri Kwan, Zhang Qiong Zi, Jiro Wang, Yoga Lin, Tank, Yan Zhi Lin and S.H.E's many family members also came to support them.
OMG! That's soo coool! Congrats Selena! I watched the clip where he came out from the audience and said all those sweet things to Selena~ it was like watching a drama~ life in drama, drama in life~ wooo~

text: I'm seriously considering switching from my iPhone 3G to Incredible. Today I played for half an hour with Incredible. In general I'm more than impressed with the phone and with Android but there are few things that I depend upon on iPhone that I couldn't find how to do on Incredible. If feature is currently missing will it be included in Froyo? I'll appreciate your answers. Can I have simultaneously multiple localized keyboards? To me it seems that Android allows only one localized keyboard at a time. On iPhone I can add multiple locales and when typing switch on a fly keyboard between English, Hebrew and Russian. Can I initiate a call (switch to Phone app) from within another app? On iPhone I can configure double hardware button tap to switch immediately to the Phone app no matter which app is current now. How Incredible's battery usage stacks against iPhone 3G? How Incredible's screen fares under direct sun? I'm very happy with this aspect of iPhone's screen. Thanks!

The World is As You Shapeshift It1 comments
Today I have a guest author John Perkins. John Perkins is a New York Times bestselling author of Hoodwinked, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, The Secret History of the American Empire, Shapeshifting, The World Is As You Dream It, Psychonavigation, The Stress-Free Habit, and Spirit of the Shuar.
The World is As You Shapeshift It
By John Perkins
I've been thinking lately in terms of how shapeshifting into compassion can be a choice for all of us on a daily basis. Many of the greatest events in history started with one person's commitment to shapeshift toward a more compassionate and just world for all. Martin Luther King, Jr., Mother Teresa, Thomas Jefferson, Jane Goodall, the Dalai Lama, Jesus Christ, and all the great spiritual leaders chose to focus on creating just such a world.
Recently we saw the passing of the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize for combining environmentalism with social and political activism. Wangari Maathai, was the founder of the Green Belt Movement; over three decades she inspired economically disadvantaged women to plant more than 30 million trees in Kenya.
Maathai was also the inspiration behind the UN Environmental Programme's Billion Tree Campaign, which has planted more than 11 billion trees to date. What wondrous trees will be passed on for centuries to her descendants and my grandson's descendants – all because of one woman planting one seed that then multiplied into millions!
From a shamanic perspective, shapeshifting begins with a dream, an intent. You then give it energy if you want it to truly occur in this world. Action follows. Intent, energy and action: Only when these three human forces are in place can you have true shapeshifting. The shamans believe we are one with everything, including the mountains, the plants, and the animals. Therefore if we are to support the idea of true peace, we must look at a much bigger concept than human existence. We must look for peace and compassion in all things.
Several years ago I was blessed to sit beside the Dalai Lama on a flight over the Himalayas. He and I talked about compassion and shapeshifting. I asked him, "What will it take, your Holiness, for us to have peace?" "Well," he responded, "you know, we cannot have peace until we have taken action that reflects our compassion, and our willingness to take responsibility." He then added, "Peace can only come from taking responsibility for all forms of life…all sentient beings, including the insets."
One of the most compassionate and important things we can do is create societies that deeply honor the earth and all sentient beings everywhere. As a result, cultures that by their nature will create a peaceful place for the trees, the rabbits, the spiders, the whales, and the tadpoles.
In order to have peace we must consistently shapeshift away from war and fear, away from greed and exploitation. We must shapeshift into a commitment to end all poverty and instead embrace compassion.
Therefore, you and I can take one step today and plant a tree in our own backyard, in our community, or at a neighborhood school in honor of Wangari Maathai. Then you and I can plant the seeds of compassion every single day. We can spread these seeds among everyone we meet and everywhere we go in this incredibly beautiful world.

Last January Schlosspark Theatre in Berlin opened "I'm Not Rappaport" by Herb Gardner. The production featured a white actor in black-face in the role of Midge Carter, portrayed in New York by Ossie Davis.
When concerned theatre professionals complained on the website of Schlosspark, they were blocked; yet neo-Nazis, who charged that the "niggers should go back to Africa," were allowed access.
Schlosspark insisted the production was not "racist," that they cast a white actor because they could not find a "qualified black actor."
The widow of Herb Gardner has deflected inquiries about the rights to "Rapport" to the agent in Germany. And she points to a 1986 conversation in which Gardner agreed to black-face "if a suitable black actor could not be found." That time and circumstance have passed.
I am asking Actors Equity and the Dramatists Guild to decline participation in productions featuring black-face and condemn its use in Germany.

Jean Jacques is accused of killing a young woman after he was released from prison where he was serving time for a previous murder.
News sources indicate Jacques was released because his file was marked, "Detainer: Immigration."
Once integrated back into society authorities believe he became involved in illegal activities that led to the June 15, 2015 stabbing death of 25-year-old Casey Chadwick.
Reports say Chadwick's body was stuffed in a closet. Jacques lived in the apartment prior to his earlier imprisonment. It was not clear if he lived with Chadwick at the time, or if she occupied his former apartment.
WTNH reported:
His crimes also included the illegal use of a gun during a 1996 deadly shooting, qualifying him for deportation to his native Haiti, the newspaper reported. ICE spokesman Shawn Neudauer told the newspaper federal privacy laws prohibit him from discussing Jacques' case.• Before you dismiss Chadwick's life as just another homicide statistic, ask yourself why your life is worth more than her life, why the lives of your loved ones are worth more than her life, or, for that matter, why Barack Obama's life is worth more than the lives of young women killed due to his insane immigration and deportation policy.
Please report typos...
A Haitian immigrant who was released from prison in January after serving a sentence for attempted murder is back in custody on a murder charge in the death of a Connecticut woman last month.
The Bulletin reported that Jean Jacques's prison file was marked "Detainer: Immigration" and that Connecticut officials say he was released in January to the custody of the U.S. Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
His crimes also included the illegal use of a gun during a 1996 deadly shooting, qualifying him for deportation to his native Haiti, the newspaper reported. ICE spokesman Shawn Neudauer told the newspaper federal privacy laws prohibit him from discussing Jacques' case.
On Monday, the 40-year-old Jacques was in New London Superior Court to answer to murder and drug charges, stemming from the June 15 stabbing death of Casey Chadwick at her apartment in Norwich, the city where Jacques lived before he went to prison. The 25-year-old woman's body was found stuffed in a closet.
Jacques was brought in a wheelchair after he refused to enter the courtroom willingly. He also kept his eyes closed, refused to respond to court officials, and would not talk to a Creole interpreter or one of his public defenders.
Superior Court Judge Hillary Strackbein kept bail at $1 million on the murder charge and appointed two public defenders to represent Jacques. He is to appear in court again in August.
An arrest warrant says Chadwick's boyfriend found her dead and also told police some drugs were missing from the apartment, The Day reported. Norwich police arrested Jacques for a drug sale and he later was also charged with Chadwick's death.
The Bulletin reported that at his June 25 arraignment in Norwich Superior Court, Judge Kevin McMahan said: "You had a murder conviction and you weren't deported? OK."
Norwich Police Chief Louis Fusaro Sr. said it was discomforting that Jacques wasn't deported after his prison release.
"We have a victim of a homicide in the meantime, and it's a shame," Fusaro said. "It's pretty obvious if he was deported this wouldn't have happened."
After he was released from prison, Jacques got a job working at an East Lyme restaurant as a cook and dishwasher.

Classroom Performance System (Clickers)
Welcome to SCSU's Classroom Performance System (CPS)
The CPS is an interactive system in which each student in the class has an electronic response pad, commonly known as a "clicker."
Students can use their response pads to register their attendance, vote on a topic or respond to questions, with just a point and a click.
Instructors can use a CPS to increase participation in large classes, get instant feedback from students, administer quizzes and more.
SCSU has 18 classrooms equipped for this campus-supported CPS.
If you are offering or taking a class that uses the CPS, you should find all of the information you need by clicking one of the links to the right.
