Public Citizen, a consumer advocacy group, wants the FDA to recall transvaginal mesh products. The call comes following the federal agency's warning that the medical device may place patients at unnecessary risk of harm without providing sufficient clinical benefit. It was the FDA's second warning about transvaginal mesh. Please contact our Anaheim defective medical device lawyers if you believe that your injuries were caused by transvaginal mesh.
Three years ago, the FDA put out a Public Health Notification and Additional Patient Information on serious complications involving surgical mesh inserted through the vagina for treatment of stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse In this latest warning, the FDA wants health care providers and patients to know that serious complications from use of transvaginal mesh are not rare. The federal agency also says that is not certain whether transvaginal POP repair using mesh is a more successful course of treatment than existing non-mesh repair treatments for POP that also pose less risk of complications.
The FDA's review of published scientific literature between 1996 and 2011 also showed that:
• Placing the mesh for POP repair in the abdomen seems to have a lower rate of complication than placing the mesh in the vagina.
• There is a lack of evidence that transvaginal mesh directed at the back wall or the top of the vagina offers greater benefits than surgery without mesh.
• Although surgical repair through the vagina with mesh for tissue weakness between the vagina and bladder provides anatomic benefit than traditional surgery sans mesh does, symptomatic outcomes are not necessarily better.
• Mesh-related complications when used in POP repair are not linked to one particular brand. Mesh contraction and erosion can lead to painful sexual intercourse, the inability to have sex, and serious pelvic pain.
When considering surgical mesh repair to treat POP it is important to know that if there are complications, you may have to undergo additional surgery. Surgical mesh can also put the patient at risk of new complications. Although surgical mesh is a permanent implant, should complications arise, you may have to more surgeries to remove this medical device, which could impair one's quality of life. Other complications linked to mesh include, bleeding, infection, and organ perforation.
It was just last month that our Orange County, California defective medical device lawyers posted a blog about a woman who sued several manufacturers, including American Medical Systems, for Los Angeles products liability. She said the AMS vaginal sling used during her 2009 POP surgery caused her to develop serious complications and injuries. Laura Jones claims that not only did she experience severe pain and develop urinary problems but also she had to undergo several surgeries so the surgical mesh could be taken out.
In 2008, the FDA said that it had received more than 1,000 reports of surgical mesh-related complications involving the treatment of SUI and POP.
Public Citizen wants the FDA to order all mesh makers to recall all their products that are used for transvaginal repair, mandate that new transvaginal mesh devices fall under the Class III device classification, and ban current marketing efforts for current non-absorbable surgical mesh products.

The 31st unit of just 40 Procar M1 chassis' ever produced has been given a second chance through a careful process of restoration – even though the model never hit the track as it was intended.
This example was among the ones chosen to serve as a replacement car in the BMW M1 Procar Championship racing series, but this particular unit never saw the circuit. It was given the full race-ready treatment in the factory but it was later assembled as a legal, street version by BMW and its first owner in Germany took commission back in November 1979. It then switched various owners and was even put into storage until October 2012 when the car was delivered to the Santa Cruz Mountains for a thorough restoration at Canepa – where it was given a second life.
The crew even had an original factory-built M1 Procar into the chop to make sure the restoration was authentic – using as many original Procar components as possible during the restoration process. Thus is has he wide body kit (including wing), mirrors, suspension uprights, hubs, control arms, tie rods, and axles from an M1 Procar. Canepa also managed to obtain original Procar center lock BBS wheels but behind them sit upgraded Brembo calipers as well as 13-inch Porsche 935 rotors. The engine was delivered to VAC Motorsports where it gained a Motec electronic fuel injection – the M88 3.5-liter straight-six has 414 horsepower (309 kilowatts) and 357 pound-feet (483 Newton-meters) of torque, linked to a ZF five-speed manual gearbox reworked by Vintage Racing Motors.

5 1/2 miles....Can you beat it ?
This challenge was born out of my frustration for not making it to any contests this season.
I finally managed some time off work and asked Joe who flies at Red Hen Turf farms what the current cross country record for the field was. He replied that as far as he knew that it was ½ mile and the chase was done on foot.
A bit of excitement ran through me as I realized that my balsa and monokote glider may just be able to beat that if my running shoes and I could survive the attempts.
To shorten this part of the story I planned to fly East but the drift was taking me North so that became Plan B. My sprint with transmitter in hand slowed to a jog and finally a walk 2 miles later. I landed in a bean field and later verification on a map showed 1.8 miles point to point.
I walked back to the field and launched again into another boomer thermal. I set off on foot again fairly convinced that I'd never survive another 2 mile run but was happy that I'd at least have my transmitter in hand when they took me to the hospital. A moment later I heard Get in ! yelled at me from behind. I actually remembered to leave my keys in the car this time and my flying buddy Bob had chased me down in my car. I climbed in the passenger door and closed the door while sticking my head and transmitter out the window.
Down the road we went zig zagging the county roads trying to keep up with my 100 glider. Tree lines were nearly always present on one side of the road or the other. I lost sight of the glider at least twice and after numerous turns in the car, a couple thermals and down wind runs later we came to a place with trees on both sides of the road and over the top of the car if we continued. I was nearly out of sight with altitude so I asked Bob to stop the car, I climbed out and told him to continue and find out how far it was through the trees. I had to fly back South into the sink to keep from losing the glider and when Bob returned I was down to pattern altitude. The second bean field of the day ended the flight. A check on the map showed
5 ½ miles from launch point to landing point for another new field record.
Thinking about the flight I then realized that this challenge that enthused me could do the same for others. The flight was done with a typical beginner thermal duration ship and in fact could have easily been done with a Gentle Lady since it was primarily down wind. There was no variometer and no special chase vehicle. I was flying out the window of a Toyota. The course was far from perfect XC country with trees on the side of the roads and only beans or corn fields to land in. I realized that this is exactly the type of challenge that might bring others into XC soaring that haven't done so because they didn't have the right equipment. So here it is :
Use whatever thermal duration glider that you have handy. No variometer is allowed. Use any chase vehicle that you have on hand. Count the straight line distance from takeoff to landing. If you're an experienced XC pilot then find a TD pilot that you can introduce this way by attacking a record that's waiting to be beat. Then tell us all about it afterward.
What's your field's Cross Country record ?
Can you beat 5 ½ miles ?
I explained to Bob later that as the driver he shouldn't take demanding screams from the pilot too seriously.
Have fun,
Mike N
After first part of the post, I thought you were going to say you'd managed
5 1/2 miles cross country, on foot. Now *that* would be a cool challenge.
Once you get into a vehicle, it just seems to me it gets too easy, if not
for you, then for numerous other people.
Mike N
Unfortunately the area where I live is less than optimal with trees often lining paths and roads and rolling terrain.
Nonetheless I manage to do a 5km (3.1miles) closed circuit around my field last year. It took about 45 minutes on foot. Plane was a 1.5m DLG and thermal activity was particularly good that day.

Friedmar and Tai,
I encourage you to give it a try with your present equipment and your present location. Find out just how far you can go.
It was Joe's 1/2 mile record that inspired me to find out how tough it would be and how far I could go using a small glider with trees and corn fields as obstacles.
Mike N
If it seems easy then grab a Gentle Lady and see if you can double my distance. If you can then you just went about half of what's necessary to beat the current 2M national record.
Mike N
What happened to
Isn't this what people do all the time in this forum?
That's why a cross country record on foot seems like a much more interesting challenge.
My purpose of the thread is to promote XC participation due to frustration that my participation this season was stifled by work. I thoroughly enjoyed the footed challenge but suspect that most won't. Thus the initial topic of a TD ship sans vario using the everyday grocery getter for chase. That still stands and it can apply to anyone that has a thermal ship anywhere.
I attempted to make it more of a challenge for you since you said "Once you get into a vehicle, it just seems to me it gets too easy.....". The additional challenge and incentive for 2M is that the current National record for is 15.5 miles for declared distance and 17.5 miles for open distance. I see either of them as achievable for anyone with the most basic equipment and think that those records need to be pursued.
I'm game for pushing the footed XC out to more extreme limits and think in fact that the Boulder Res field is a likely candidate with the wind out of the South and there's already joggers galore so the vehicle traffic will be aware. 5 or 6 miles will put you in the neighborhood of the West side of Longmont airport or Hygiene. It's a zig zag path but that's going to be true for anyone that doesn't have the open plains a short distance away which levels the playing field. If you want to set the bar higher than my 1.8 miles then when you claim the new footed record, I'll attempt to reclaim it back there and the informal challenge can continue worldwide as well.
I just see way too many sitting on the sidelines of XC because they don't have the specialized equipment or the perfect course available. I'm open to hear any other ways to get more people involved as well.
Mike N
Getting interesting actually I am planning to use my electric glider (with height limiter) because I dont have the equipment nor the space to launch otherwise.
I read this in another thread on XC forum "An example is the MSV Giengen in Germany (http://www.msv-giengen.de), who has been holding two per year; you walk with your plane around a 4-mile course."
It seems that there is a growing interest on this category, mainly in Europe, wher big flat empty field are so difficult to find
You may have just solved the issue that some have with a shortage of decent landing fields. If you use your engine for the launch portion only and still have some battery left, then you can complete as much of the flight as you can as a glider on a cross country. When you finally get low and have to land, and the field that's under your glider isn't friendly then you can add power and find a better field.
Good luck,

the closest to cross country ive done is fly my 65cm span 2 channel discuss (childs chuck glider converted) along my local seafront. off the 3 meter high lip from the promenade in a 26mph wind. walked with it along the 1/2 mile lip up and back 3 times before a wing tip caught a long bit of grass. so 3 miles is my best on foot. dont really have the right countryside here to try anything bigger.
this is the bird
If you want to call your flight a "Closed course distance" then clearly that's now a standing record and a respectable flight to have as one to try to beat.
I can think of several places where something similar could be attempted so maybe someone will take your flight as a challenge and try to beat you. Then of course you go and attempt to beat their flight.....it's all great fun. Usually when turnpoints are concerned in XC contests the glider and the pilot must be at the turnpoint at the same time. That's for verification and adds to the difficulty, which is even more so when done on foot. Well done !

The first interview with Cyanide Studio concerning A Game of Thrones: Genesis, the Real-Time Strategy game they're developing, has been published over at RTS Guru. They discuss some of the aspects of the game, and give us a shout-out for Westeros.org's help in matters of continuity and theme. The game will let players control a kingdom over a thousand year span of history, from the arrival of Nymeria and the Rhoynar in Dorne through to the invasion Aegon the Conqueror with his dragons, with an emphasis on military, economic, and political means to victory.
Two weeks ago, Cyanide sent out a press release with additional images and information, announcing their official site for the game and a Summer 2011 release date.

30 days book challenge » Day 1 -best book you read last year
Richard Bachman/Stephen King "the Long Walk"
I can't believe it took me so long to read this book. I think I found my favorite King so far. It's not even horror, it's tragedy. It's the story of 99 suicides, a metaphor for life, in my opinion, and the gap between death wish and the concrete reality of death. I started reading it like a criticism toward the passivity of an audience, but it was so much more! I could babble all night about this book, but the fact is, it's the kind of book to be read and most of all felt. "You don't know, said McVries. You're dying and you don't know why"

Off to Stonehenge!
Salisbury Travel Blog› entry 49 of 128 › view all entries
I woke up early and walked all the way to the train station before I realized that I had forgotten my rail pass in the hostel! I was so mad...I ran all the way back and grabbed it, but missed the train I had wanted to take. Fortunately, the trains left every hour, so I did not have to wait too terribly long. I'm such an idiot sometimes...
So finally I was on my way to Salisbury. This is the closest town to Stonehenge, the ancient structure whose origins are still largely unknown. There are many theories, the most common speculation it was put there by the same people that make the Clava Cairns in Scotland.
I arrived in Salisbury and quickly realized there was no one around that could help me with where to go. Somehow I managed to find a bus that stopped at Stonehenge, and so I was once again in good spirits. The structure is amazing from even far away. As we got close, I was blown away by it. Stonehenge rests in a large open field of beautiful green. It's definitely worth the couple pounds it costs to go inside the fence and see Stonehenge up close. You also get an audioguide, which gives many interesting facts about the area.
It appears that the stones were actually dragged there some 5000 years ago. You can still see indentations in the ground where the stones were brought in...and these ruts in the earth extend as far as the eye can see.
I wish I had spent more time there, but I wanted to get out to Bath before it got too late. I jumped on the bus and we headed back toward Salisbury, but hit some traffic. I think there was an accident of some sort. Being on a tight timeline, I asked the driver how far we were from the train station. It was a couple miles, so I jumped off the bus and ran. That goes to show you how impatient I am. I ran the entire way, and at this point I am glad I stay in shape. I got a little turned around once in town, but made it to the train station just in time!
Just in time to see the train leaving the train station.......so I had to wait a couple hours for the next train...*sigh*
