The present application claims the benefit of the filing date of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/668,777 entitled �APC Dual Mode Leep Apparatus and Method,� and filed on Apr. 6, 2005 by inventors Jerome Canady.
The above cross-referenced related application is hereby incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
Not applicable.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to surgical devices capable of performing both argon plasma coagulation and traditional electrocautery during loop electro-surgical excision and other procedures.
2. Brief Description of the Related Art
A loop electro-surgical excision procedure, known as LEEP, is a procedure performed to treat cervical dysplasia, which is an abnormal tissue growth in the cervix. This procedure also is known as a Large Loop Excision of the Transformation Zone, which often is abbreviated as LLETZ or LEETZ. In the LEEP procedure, a wire loop is used to remove the abnormal tissue from the cervix. The wire loop is connected to an electrosurgical unit and is used to scoop out the abnormal tissue in one piece and seal any bleeding blood vessel via electrocautery. The procedure allows the healthcare provider to locate and remove the cervical dysplasia in one procedure, thereby saving the step of taking a sample piece of tissue (a biopsy) before removing the tissue by other methods, such as by freezing it or by performing a surgical cone procedure.
A variety of LLETZ devices are known and have been used for these procedures. These known devices typically have an elongated body with a pair of arms extending perpendicular to the body at one end. A wire electrode extends outward from each of the arms thereby forming a wire loop at the end of the device. The body further has means for connecting the wire loop to an electrosurgical generator. The arms can be of a variety of lengths and sizes. Examples of such conventional LLETZ electrodes are Valleylab's single use LLETZ electrodes catalog nos. E1559, E1560, E1561, E1562, E1565, E1566 and E1567. In these Valleylab devices, the arms are fixed in positions approximately perpendicular to the device body to thereby create or support the sire loop. In other known LLETZ devices, the arms are fixed in positions other than perpendicular to the body. Other embodiments of LLETZ devices are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,318,448 and 5,554,159, which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
Another embodiment of a known LLETZ device is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,416,513 to Dresden, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. In this embodiment, the device has a moveable arm that may be adjusted by the surgeon to adjust the concavity of the wire loop electrode.
One of the risks of the LLETZ procedure is heavy bleeding. Heretofore, a variety of means have been used to control such heavy bleeding. For example, traditional electrocautery may be performed using the wire loop electrode in the device or a paste may be applied to the tissue to reduce bleeding. Other known means of controlling bleeding have likewise been used.
Controlling or arresting blood loss is of high priority during surgery so as to avoid or minimize the necessity of introducing foreign blood or blood products into a patient. This has increased in importance due to concern over contamination of the blood supply by viral agents which cause, for example, acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), hepatitis, and the like.
Standard means for controlling traumatic and surgical blood loss are electrosurgical generators and lasers, which respectively direct high-frequency electrical currents or light energy to localize heat in bleeding vessels so as to coagulate the overlying blood and vessel walls.
Argon beam coagulators, also known as Argon Plasma Coagulators (APC), additionally have been demonstrated to be effective tissue coagulators. Examples of argon beam coagulators for use in open surgery can be found in U.S. Pat. No. 4,040,426 to Morrison and U.S. Pat. No. 4,781,175 to McGreevy. Argon beam coagulators for use rigid and flexible endoscopy also are known. An example of a device for flexible endoscopy may be seen in U.S. Pat. No. 5,207,675 to the present inventor. In some embodiments in that patent, the inventor disclosed dual modality devices that could be used either for argon plasma coagulation or for traditionally electrocautery in an endoscopic environment. The inventor also disclosed an embodiment having the dual modality of argon plasma coagulation and endoscopic biopsy forceps. In that embodiment, argon plasma coagulation could be used by a surgeon while the biopsy forceps were withdrawn inside the flexible endoscopic tube. The biopsy forceps could then be extended and used, but argon plasma coagulation was not performed with the biopsy forceps extended from the end of the tube.
With respect to LLETZ procedures, the conventional LLETZ device may be removed from the patient and an argon beam coagulator may be inserted to control bleeding.
While these known LLETZ devices and various means of controlling bleeding have been used in the past with varying degrees of success, a need exists for a single device that can perform a traditional LLETZ procedure and use argon beam coagulation to quickly control bleeding without repeated insertion and removal of instruments.
In a preferred embodiment, the present invention comprises an elongated body having a first channel therein, a movable arm having a second channel therein, said second channel being connected to said first channel, a wire within said first channel, said wire having a loop at a distal end and a portion of said loop being within said second channel, means for connecting said first channel to a source of an inert, ionizable gas; means for connecting said wire to a source of RF energy.
Still other aspects, features, and advantages of the present invention are readily apparent from the following detailed description, simply by illustrating a preferable embodiments and implementations. The present invention is also capable of other and different embodiments and its several details can be modified in various obvious respects, all without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the drawings and descriptions are to be regarded as illustrative in nature, and not as restrictive. Additional objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention.
For a more complete understanding of the present invention and the advantages thereof, reference is now made to the following description and the accompanying drawings, in which:
A preferred embodiment of the present invention incorporates moveable arms, a retractable electrode, tubes surrounding the electrode, and an inert ionizable gas such as argon to provide a single device capable of performing both traditional LLETZ surgery and argon plasma (or beam) coagulation. A preferred embodiment will be described in connection with
The device has a cylindrical or tubular body 110 having a collet, handle, plug or other means 120. For LLETZ surgery, it may be preferable for the body 110 to be rigid or semi-rigid, but for other types of surgery, such as endoscopic or laparoscopic surgery, the body 110 may be flexible. The body 110 further has means for connecting the device to an electrosurgical generator and a source of an inert, ionizable gas such as argon. The means for connecting to the electrosurgical generator and/or argon gas may be through or part of the collet, handle or plug 120 or may be otherwise. The collet 120 is displaced from the distal end of the body 110 by a distance sufficient for the collet 120 to remain outside the patient's body and be accessible to the surgeon during surgery. At the distal end of the body 110, there are two adjustable or moveable arms 150 that are connected to the body 110 via a hinge 530, hinges or other means that would permit the arms to rotate toward and away from each other in a plane. Each arm 150 is connected to a collet 130 by a rod, wire or other means 170. When the collet 130 is moved by the surgeon along the length of the body 110 by means of rotating the collet or otherwise, the rods 170 pull the arms 150 apart or push them together depending on which direction the collet 130 is moved. In an embodiment in which wires 170 are used rather than rods, the arms 150 may be biased toward one position, such as together, and the surgeon may used the collet 130 to pull the arms 150 apart via the wires 170.
Within the body 110, there is a channel 220, within which there is a wire 210 for conducting electricity. The wire is formed of a conductive material, but preferably is formed from tungsten or tungsten and molybdenum. The channel may be formed integral with the body or may be a flexible plastic tube. The channel extends along the length of the body 110 at least from the collet or plug 120 to the distal end of the body, where the channel or tube splits into two channels, one along each arm. The channel along the arms may be formed integral with the arms or may be attached to the arms. For example, the channel 220 and the split channels along the arms may all be formed of flexible tubing that is attached or connected to the arms 150.
The wire 210 within the channel 220 likewise extends along the length of the body form the collet or plug 120 to the distal end of the body 110. At or near the distal end of the body 110, the wire 210 has a loop 160 that extends through the split channels at the arms 150. The wire 210 is movable within the channel 220 via collet, handle, or plug 120. When the arms are in a position extending away from one another such as is shown in
The preferred embodiment may further have enclosure means on the arms 150 or the split channels for enclosing the loop 160 during argon plasma coagulation as shown in
In other embodiments, the collet, handle or plug 120 may be combined with the collet 130 such that the wire 210 moved out or in along with the movement of the arms 150 out or in. Further, the device may include safety means to prevent or prohibit the flow of argon gas while the arms are in the extended LLETZ position. In still other embodiments, the invention may have one moveable arm that extends away from or together with either a fixed arm or the body 110.
Other embodiments adapt the present invention for minimally invasive surgery such as laparoscopy or endoscopy. Such adapted embodiments may be used or adapted to be used with any device for minimally invasive surgery, such as a colonoscope, laparoscope, thoroscope, etc. In such embodiments, the body 110 may be flexible and of a length and a diameter to permit the device to be inserted into the particular scope far enough that the distal end of the device extends out of the distal end of the scope. For example, the diameter would be small enough to be inserted into the working channel of an endoscope. Such a diameter may be 5 mm or less depending on the type of endoscope.
To insert the device into the scope, the surgeon or other operating room personnel would place the arms in the �in� or �together� position and then insert the distal end of the device into an opening in a channel in the scope. The elongated body 110 of the device would then be fed into the scope until the distal end of the device protrudes from the channel opening at the distal end of the scope. Once outside the distal end of the scope, the arms may be opened for electrocautery or �scooping� of tissue or the arms may remain or be closed for performing argon plasma coagulation. The device may be manipulated within the endoscope, i.e., moved in and out of the channel or rotated within the channel, by any means, such as by holding a portion of the body, collet or handle that is outside the opening at the proximal end of the endoscope.
While the foregoing embodiments have been described as having a pair of moveable arms, an alternative embodiment would have only one moveable arm. Such an embodiment would be akin to having a pair of arms one of which either is integral with the channel in the body or remains substantially parallel to the channel in the body while the other arm is moveable away from the body. Such alternate embodiment will be apparent to those of skill in the art from the foregoing disclosure.
The foregoing description of the preferred embodiment of the invention has been presented for purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed, and modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teachings or may be acquired from practice of the invention. The embodiment was chosen and described in order to explain the principles of the invention and its practical application to enable one skilled in the art to utilize the invention in various embodiments as are suited to the particular use contemplated. It is intended that the scope of the invention be defined by the claims appended hereto, and their equivalents. The entirety of each of the aforementioned documents is incorporated by reference herein.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — The search for a 6-year-old Arizona girl who disappeared from her family's home has extended to Mexico, authorities said Friday.
U.S. Marshals have been in touch with Mexican law enforcement officials who are checking hotels, bus terminals and other businesses as they help look for Isabel Mercedes Celis, according to Tucson police. A photo of the first-grader is being circulated in Mexico as well.
Police began looking at the possibility that Isabel could have been taken there because of Tucson's close proximity to the border, Lt. Fabian Pacheco said.
The girl's parents reported her missing last Saturday, saying they last saw her in her bedroom the night of April 20 and discovered she was missing the next morning, according to police.
Police say a window was open with the screen pushed aside.
"We can say it's highly unlikely Isabel got up and walked out on her own. I would definitely say our investigation gears toward that — that someone is responsible for the disappearance of Isabel," Police Chief Roberto Villasenor said.
Officers also said Friday that they are searching for five possible witnesses, who appear on surveillance footage posted to police department's official Youtube channel.

This is a great gel eyeliner for first timers at a reasonable price. I found I got a better application with my MAC 209 Eyeliner brush (I like a very thin neat line). The only downside is that it smudges sometimes. I bought the Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner Set and it does exactly what it says...it lasts all day and night without a smudge. I also find the quality and ease of application with the BB Gel Eyeliners are much better.

This Was My First Creme Eyeliner. I Like It Very Much. It Goes On Nicely, And It Is Dark(Atleast You Can Make It By Lightly Applying It Over You Line) I Love It. It Looks Very Smooth And Creamy And Makes My Small Green Eyes Look Big. I Would Definitely Recommend It. It Last A Long Time And By The End Of The Day I Just Grab A Q-Tip With A Lil Lotion And It Comes Right Off!

Hm... this was my first cream liner i've ever bought and I have to say it is very gooood. It's not as black as i'd like it to be and i haven't compared it to MAC's gel liner in black, but i'd suppose it isn't as pigmented as MAC's is. other than that, it is super creamy and goes on very niceeee.

This is my favorite eyeliner so far. The texture is so smooth and creamy that it's easy to alter and re-alter to your perfection. It also stays on and does not come streaking off at the end of the day. I recommend using either a really thin eyeliner brush or a lip brush instead of the little brush that comes with the application. I use a lip brush - it's easy to handle and it helps me get a precise line.

This is now my favorite. It's just like the cream pencils but there's a ton more of it. In fact, I think this will last me at least two years or more. Of course, I'll probably replace it before then but what a great deal, relatively.
Some say the brush is too small, but not for me. The brush is perfect and the bristles are perfect to put the shape that I want that isn't too thick.

This is an amazing cream liner...a million times better than Mac's fluidline! It's VERY black, very smooth and easy to work with, and lasts all day, even on my waterline! It also doesn't irritate my super sensitive eyes. Pretty much a flawless product, love it!

You can see my before and after cream eyeliner photos here
Im a huge eyeliner person. I feel that my makeup is incomplete without thick black eyeliner. Before I got my hands on Clinique Brush-On Cream Liner (14.50 USD), Ive tried MAC Fluidline, gel liner by Bobbi Brown, and LOréal HIP Color Rich Cream Eyeliner. Those are all very popular brands. People raved about these two gel liners, particularly Mac Fluidline and gel liner by Bobbi Brown, thats why I was greatly disappointed when they both came off my oily lids and smeared under my eyes in the middle of the hot day. I gave up on gel/cream liner all together after those tries and switched to liquid liner. Liquid liners can give you intense jet-black color, and they really dont stay on your eyelids forever. Ive gone swimming with my gel eyeliner on (Its private swimming pool so I didnt have to remove my makeup) and it stayed on my face the entire time. However, while liquid liners have amazing lasting power, its not as easy to work with as cream liners. The slightest wrong move leaves a big dark splotch on you which is hard to clean up. Liquid liners also dry up slower than cream liners which can lead to potential mess if you wink or smudge it by accident. But when theyre completely dry, they never come off.
Even though I had some good liquid liner days, I had been tempted to go back to cream/gel liner for awhile despite my previous bad experiences I had with them. I was somewhat tired of the stark/harsh line liquid liner gives me, and really wanted to change things up and adopt a softer look. When I picked up Clinique Brush-On Cream Line, I had no expectations whatsoever, but it impressed me.
This liner glides on smoothly, it doesnt dry right away which means you get 10-20 seconds to smudge it out if you wish. But after this, it stays put rain or shine. The texture is creamy and its perfect for beginners who dont have steady hands. With liquid eyeliner, every jitter of your hand shows on your eye line. This cream liner is also good for making those cat eye flicks.
The brush applicator it came with is flat and stiff, I use Bobbi Brown angle brush which is softer and gives you more precise lining. But since the original brush is so tiny, you can carry it in your purse in case you need some touch up. The Clinique brush quality kind of lower its overall rating, but this little grievance doesnt change the fact that this cream eyeliner is simply one of the best out there.

This is a lovely pigmented liner, very smooth application, and doesn't dry flakey or anything. Stays on all day. However when putting it on the brush, because it is quite solid sometimes clumps do go on the brush. Comes with a little brush which is a good idea, though I do not use the brush that came with it.

I got lucky and bought this as my first gel liner. It is so black and easy to work with. I sampled other gel liners and they're not as good as this. This stuff goes on smoooth and it lasts all day long even in the waterline which is a tricky place to keep eyeliner on for the entire day. The price on this is great for the quality.I think $14.50.

After running out of my HG cream liner, MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack, I decided to try something new when I spotted this at Sephora about a week ago. The packaging is cute and it is about $2 less than the fluidline. I put it on and fell in love. The texture is super creamy, the color is definitely a true black, and slightly more pigmented than the MAC one. It is so easy to manage my brush with this and I use it on both my upper and lower lash line. It lasts an extremely long time and I don't need to reapply like I do with a pencil. This is a great gel eyeliner. I will definitely be repurchasing it. Not too pricey (about $16) and it works great! I recommend it.

Bikini-clad women make men impatient
Images of sexy women tend to whet men's sexual appetite. But stimulating new research in the Journal of Consumer Research says there's more than meets the eye. A recent study shows that men who watched sexy videos or handled lingerie sought immediate gratification—even when they were making decisions about money, soda, and candy. Authors Bram Van den Bergh, Siegfried DeWitte, and Luk Warlop (KULeuven, Belgium) found that the desire for immediate rewards increased in men who touched bras, looked at pictures of beautiful women, or watched video clips of young women in bikinis running through a park.
"It seems that sexual appetite causes a greater urgency to consume anything rewarding," the authors suggest. Thus, the activation of sexual desire appears to spill over into other brain systems involved in reward-seeking behaviors, even the cognitive desire for money.
"After they touched a bra, men are more likely to be content with a smaller immediate monetary reward," writes Bram Van den Bergh, one of the study's authors. "Prior exposure to sexy stimuli may influence the choice between chocolate cake or fruit for dessert."
The authors believe the stimuli bring men's minds to the present as opposed to the future. "The study demonstrates that bikinis cause a shift in time preference: Men live in the here and now when they glance at pictures featuring women in lingerie. That is, men will choose the immediately available rewards and seek immediate gratification after sex cue exposure."
Do all straight men respond the same? Actually, no. Some men are highly responsive to rewards while others are not so sensitive, and the more reward-sensitive men are the impatient ones.
In fact, doing a task designed to inspire financial satisfaction reduced the bikini-inspired impatience, just as feeling full reduces food cravings. Men may want to be aware of bikinis' effects on their bank accounts and waistlines.

This marcasite ring is really beautiful with an excellent design. It is extremely comfortable to wear even though it takes up a significant amount of your finger due to its length. I could not be more pleased with this purchase.Read More
This ring is GORGEOUS! But it runs VERY small
I love this ring and totally plan on keeping it, the only reason I gave it 3 stars is because I ordered a 10 with plans on wearing it on my right hand middle finger, and it doesn't fit at all. I took it to a local jewelers and it is actually a size 8.25 and so I am going to pay to have it sized which costs more the ring did to start with. I saw other comments about it running small, I just didn't figure they meant 1.75 sizes smaller.. I pictured maybe .5 difference or something. I love it though, it is gorgeous. I would suggest ordering 1-2 sizes bigger if you can, I ordered the biggest size offered so I didn't have that option. Just something to keep in mind, but as for looks and length it is perfect. If you are debating on this ring I would say go for it, just keep in mind the size thing.Read More

This ring is Gorgeous!
This ring is more beautiful in person than on the computer. It does run small (I have to wear it on a different finger than I originally planned) so you will probably want to go up a size. It is also very comfortable which is a concern for larger rings.Read More

Jewelry, just like clothing, looks best when it fits well. Jewelry size and shape changes the look of your fashion and enhances your beauty. Poor-fitting rings are annoying, if not actually painful.

An ill-fitting fashion ring is one of the most uncomfortable of jewelry problems. Tight rings pinch your fingers and chafe your skin; loose fashion rings also irritate the skin with constant friction and are lost easily.

Use our ring size chart and ring shopping tips to choose the perfect pieces of jewelry.

The name is a reference to the old headboards that adorn the walls of this tiny, informal restaurant, but the food (and not the decor) is undoubtedly the focus. Local foodies consider this one of the most refined eateries in the city thanks to Chef Bruno Cavagni's gently creative take on classic Venetian fish dishes. The chef's artistry seldom draws attention to itself, but simply reveals new dimensions to familiar fare, creating dishes that stand out for their lightness
and balance. A classic black risotto of cuttlefish, for example, is surrounded by a brilliant coulis of mild yellow peppers; tiny potato gnocchi are paired with tender newborn squid. The menu changes regularly to capitalize on the freshest produce of the moment, and the wine selection is top notch. To enjoy a more leisurely meal, be sure to book the second dinner sitting.

Former mayor Edward Koch, who presided over New York City during the turbulent late 1970s and '80s and came to personify the city with his wry and outspoken style, died on Friday at the age of 88, his spokesman said.As mayor from 1978 to 1989, the forceful, quick-witted Koch, with his trademark phrase "How'm I Doing?," was a polarizing figure and the city's constant promoter.Koch died of congestive heart failure at about 2 a.m. (0700 GMT) at New York-Presbyterian hospital after a year of repeated hospitalizations, the spokesman for Koch said.Koch, who comes from a family of conservative Jews, was a strong supporter of Israel. In an opinion piece he wrote for The Jerusalem Post in April 2010 Koch declared, "my support for the Jewish state has been long and steadfast." Stressing the importance of the State of Israel, Koch wrote, "I have also long been cognizant of the fact that every night when I went to sleep in safety, there were Jewish communities around the world in danger. And there was one country, Israel, that would give them sanctuary and would send its soldiers to deliver them from evil, as it did at Entebbe in 1976."Koch also wrote a regular blog on The Jerusalem Post, where he discussed the US-Israel relations among other topics.The National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC) mourned Koch's passing, saying the American Jewish community will not be the same without Koch's vocal advocacy for the US-Israel relationship.Koch was credited with lifting New York from crushing economic crises to a level of prosperity that was the envy of other US cities. Under his leadership, the city regained its fiscal footing and undertook a building renaissance.But his three terms in office were also marked by racial tensions, corruption among many of his political cronies, the rise in AIDS and HIV, homelessness and a high crime rate. In 1989, he lost the Democratic nomination for what would have been a record fourth term as mayor.New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the flags at all city buildings would fly at half-staff in Koch's memory."In elected office and as a private citizen, he was our most tireless, fearless, and guileless civic crusader," Bloomberg said. "His spirit will live on not only here at City Hall, and not only on the bridge the bears his name, but all across the five boroughs."Born into a Jewish immigrant family in the Bronx on December 12, 1924, Edward Irving Koch went on to attend City College and later earn a law degree from New York University.He entered politics in the 1950s in Manhattan's Greenwich Village neighborhood, winning a seat on the city council, and later went to Washington, where he served four terms in the US House of Representatives.In 1977, he made a second attempt running for mayor of New York City, and proved to be an agile campaigner. To combat rumors he was gay, former beauty queen Bess Myerson began appearing by his side at campaign events.Koch later admitted the two were never romantically linked. Koch remained a bachelor all his life and refused to answer questions about his sexuality even in his later years.After two successful terms in office - he was returned for a third term with 70 percent of the vote - Koch's star had began to fade. A corruption scandal involving his ally, Queens Borough President Donald Manes, never implicated Koch, but it damaged his reputation with voters.Koch's attempt at a fourth term failed when he lost his party's nomination to Manhattan borough president David Dinkins, a man as quiet and deliberative as Koch was bold and abrasive. Dinkins would go on to be the city's first black mayor.After leaving office, Koch wrote articles on everything from Middle East politics to movie reviews, hosted a radio show and served as a judge on television's The People's Court.He has remained a formidable figure in New York politics, endorsing candidates and offering political commentary on the local NY1 TV station. He has been a strong ally of New York's current mayor, Michael Bloomberg, and in 2010 he formed New York Uprising, a political action committee designed to fight corruption in state politics.US President Barack Obama expressed condolences over Koch's death, calling him a "quintessential New Yorker" and an "extraordinary mayor.""[Koch's] energy, force of personality, and commitment to causes ranging from civic issues to the security of the state of Israel always informed and enlivened the public discourse," he said. "Michelle and I send our thoughts and prayers to Ed's loved ones, and to the city that survives him."

In the first post-Citizens United presidential election Karl Rove proved one thing: Republicans can spend grotesque amounts of money and rarely do they have anything to show for it. Planned Parenthood, on the other hand, does.
Planned Parenthood's political wing crushed Karl Rove's conservative action groups with a near perfect return on its election spending. In a post-election spending post-mortem, the Sunlight Foundation found that Planned Parenthood's advocacy arm and super-PAC spent approximately $5 million and $7 million respectively to oppose Republicans and support Democrats in the general election. That's a rate of return of 98 percent!
This was the most involved Planned Parenthood's political wing has been in a general election. But the response was obviously necessary after the Tea Party wave of 2010 brought in hard-right candidates determined to end Planned Parenthood's funding as a healthcare provider for low income women.
Karl Rove's American Crossroads, by comparison, has a rate of return of 1.3 percent. That's it. It feels like there's an Occupy joke in there somewhere.
There is, without a doubt, a certain amount of joy in knowing Rove could have had just as much electoral success piling up his hundreds of millions in dollars and lighting it on fire. Schadenfreude aside, it should be noted that the candidates Planned Parenthood backed, like Senator Claire McCaskill, are Democrats and pro-choice, but they are hardly pro-abortion radicals but status quo pragmatists.
That means women's health advocates had to spend tens of millions of dollars to make sure things didn't get worse rather than spending that money to make them better. The results were worth every penny, but I'm looking forward to the day when we can spend money promoting a pro-woman agenda and passing pro-woman legislation. The good news is Planned Parenthood and similar pro-woman advocacy groups have proven they can get results and we have the base needed to build on. Our challenge is to carry this momentum and our message into the midterm elections and beyond. That's how change really happens.

Kevin B. writes "...Do you understand the words "nonprofit"?" Let me answer that for you Kevin, no. The word stupid comes to mind. I was going to respond to Sarah's ridiculous and dumb comment, so glad you took care of that for me :)
Next Allan Y. will claim OBAMA invented Planned Parenthood!
He's a sad example of people who will believe ANYTHING they're told.
Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA), commonly shortened to Planned Parenthood, is the U.S. affiliate of the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) and one of its larger members. PPFA is a non-profit organization providing reproductive health and maternal and child health services.
Do you understand the words "nonprofit"?
(cont) In addition to mammogram referrals, the group says it helps low-income patients find grants and assistance to pay for mammograms, such as through the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program, which is for women at or below 250 percent of the federal poverty level. Planned Parenthood of Western Pennsylvania also has a Breast Health Care Fund, which helps patients obtain mammograms.
Individual clinics also may occasionally sponsor no-cost mammogram events for instance, on Oct. 19, Planned Parenthood of Nassau County, N.Y., plans to sponsor free mammograms at a mammography van at the health center. In south-central New York, a state program parks its mobile van outside two Planned Parenthood clinics.
Here that everyone Sarah H. has concluded (through some mystical process) that Planned Parenthood pretty much only exists to perform abortions (despite that 97% of what they do has nothing to do with abortions)
Women cant walk into a Planned Parenthood clinic and get a mammogram on the spot. The clinics dont have mammography equipment. Planned Parenthood performs gynecological exams, including breast exams, and refers women to other facilities to have mammograms performed, much like women are referred to radiological centers by their gynecologists or primary care physicians.
According to Planned Parenthood, its medical staff performed 747,607 breast exams/breast care in 2010, the most recent statistics available. As for cervical cancer screenings, as the president mentioned, it performed 769,769 Pap tests. (cont)
Planned Parenthood is a for profit business and should NOT be getting any of our tax dollars. Their main function is to perform abortions. They do not perform mammograms because they don't own even 1 machine.
Allan Y, you are spreading lies.
Allan Y., too bad, you don't have a clue what you're talking about.
Allan Y. You don't know what the hell you are talking about. Government money IS NOT ALLOWED to pay for abortions. Why don't you learn the facts about an issue before sounding off about it?
Without boundaries, or controls, Planned Parenthood is one of the greatest drains on our economy. A pregnant 14 year old can walk into their office, sign up for free medical care, free delivery as well. After, she can receive free doctor visits, formula, diapers, up to 14 months.
On the other end, the same girl can get a 99.00 abortion; most paid by the government.

Here is my question. I have VB6 class
FirstClass. In
SecondClass i create instance of
WithEvents fClass as FirstClass
Set fClass = New FirstClass
Ok. Also in
SecondClass I have an event
Initialize - this is some event of
FirstClass's object (as far as i can understand). But when I paste breakpoint in this event, it doesn't fire. So could you please explain me why I can't go in this event and how the events handling works in VB6 in general.
Please, ask questions if my English isn't good for understanding my thoughts
Here is property from FirstClass:
Private Property Let IRPCAppMode_Application(RHS As Object)
Const METHOD_NAME As String = "IRPCAppMode_Application" 'DO NOT TRANSLATE
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Set mApp = RHS
Set m_objRPCProject = mApp.Project
Set m_objDataSet = m_objRPCProject.CurrentDataSet
RaiseEvent Initialize
I know that mApp object sets only in this line of code, that's all. What i can't understand is how Initialize Event rises in SecondClass and how can we set private property outside of class. Calling of Initialize in SecondClass:
Private Sub m_objTestMode_Initialize()
Const METHOD_NAME As String = "m_objTestMode_Initialize" 'DO NOT TRANSLATE
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Dim lLoop As Long
Set mRPCProject = m_objTestMode.Project
SSTab1.Tab = 0
SSTab2.Tab = 0
Set m_objToolManager = m_objTestMode.mApp.ToolManager
Set g_objMonDrives = New clsMonDrives
Set g_objTrendMonDrives = New clsTrendDrives

New York's Camel's Nose on Fracking

Nuns to the Vatican (and Paul Ryan): We're rollin'
|By: TobyWollin Sunday June 10, 2012 7:30 am
In our last episode, the Vatican had told US nuns that they're just spending too much time on the poor. Actually, that is not correct, what the Vatican told them is that because they don't spend enough time speaking out against abortion, they are not toeing the line of the home office. And Bennie and the Jets have assigned a rather nasty Bishop from Seattle to take over the largest organization of nuns in the US to make sure that they clean up their act.

If Fracking Is Benign, How Come PA'ers Can't Find Out What's Making Them Sick?
|By: TobyWollin Sunday March 18, 2012 1:10 pm
If you live in an area where fracking is taking place, and you start having symptoms which you think might have something to do with your being exposed to chemicals which might have been used in fracking, your doctor or any other doctors involved in your treatment can ask for information on chemicals that companies drilling in your area use in fracking. But they don't have to tell anyone and in order to get that information, your doctor will have to sign a legally binding NDA which will prevent him from passing on that info.
Late Night FDL: One Heckuva Week for Body Language
|By: TobyWollin Saturday January 28, 2012 8:00 pm
I can't use the photo, so I will direct readers to their own link and I will direct you NOT to Jan Brewer's finger (or her mouth for that matter which looks as if she is screaming at the top of her lungs… though perhaps there was engine noise and she just wanted the President to hear what she had to say), but to the President's right arm and hand (which you can't see but which you can sort of figure out where it is from the angle and so on). He has moved in and is either putting his hand or trying to put his hand on her arm (perhaps on her elbow). He is trying to draw her in, reduce the distance between them.

Upper Big Branch Mine Disaster Report: Justice?

So, will MSA collect? Will any of the miners' families collect? Will anyone in upper management of Massey EVER see the inside of a court room (much less a jail cell?)? Will anyone who was a member of the Board of Directors ever see the inside of a court room? Inquiring minds would like to know.
Buying Local: Detective Work
|By: TobyWollin Sunday November 27, 2011 8:15 am
There is a lot of discussion these days about 'buying local'. There is even a national organization with chapters which promotes it (along with a lot of other local initiatives) Local Economies . American Express just sponsored, for the second year, a national event called "Small Business Saturday" to encourage people to buy with small businesses (not only local; and as an incentive, they offered a credit off the customer's bill for buying at a small business).
But, when it comes time for us, as consumers, to actually find local businesses, it might not be so easy.
FDL Book Salon Welcomes Michael Hiltzik, The New Deal: A Modern History
|By: TobyWollin Saturday November 26, 2011 1:59 pm
A president elected in reaction to the economic and political environment. A president hated on the left for lack of bold action and accused by the right of being a socialist. A president who appears to struggle with any sort of confrontation within his own Administration and who appears to have continuing issues with quality of staffers. A president accused of promoting class warfare and 'uncertainty'. A president with a justice on the Supreme Court who opposes him named Roberts. A president with a wife who is, to many, as controversial as he is. A president and an Administration during a time when bold decisive action is required, but who seem to suffer from chronic timidity.
Obama or Roosevelt? Both?

Plus Third 'Diary Of A Wimpy Kid' Film Hits On August 3rd, 2012 A new Woody Allen film tends to come with lowered expectations these days. Knocking one out one a year, as he does, means there's rarely fevered excitement for the films: instead, mild curiosity as to who he's cast this time out, the inevitable scouring of reviews to see which critics have called it "a return to form," and keeping your fingers crossed that it's at least better than "Cassandra's Dream."

Jan & Steve in Florida - The Gators are smiling!

Fun with Old Friends at Homasassa Springs State Pk

The biggest surprise (and treat) of the day? My thinking that one of the park's volunteers looked a lot like another former classmate of Karen's and mine - and at first, I didn't say anything, but ...
Christmas Past...
... Felt good to 'hang out' for a bit....warm days, no rain...nice people. Wifi signal always appeared deceptively strong but too often it lost internet connection - so my attempts at researching the Ft.Lauderdale area for a campsite and van storage facilities proved challenging. Didn't really accomplish anything....so now feel this compulsion to rush down there and get to these van storage places in person ...
Planning and Trepidation
... bags on each flight, not wanting to lug the, err, luggage all around Europe, it might just be solve a lot of issues. There are also some side benefits, too: extra space for souvenirs, unloading any souvenirs gained up to that point, and lightening the load as I go along.
Sounds like a win-win to me.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have lists to make of things to pack and do before this Saturday. Lists that will most likely be lost.
Bye, bye Leesburg
... good time. After about 40 miles we stopped for fuel and, as it was so hot, Di decided she had to remove her jacket, I had been riding in a sleeveless t-shirt since leaving the hotel so I was feeling just fine. We headed on through Perry and then found a great little BBQ joint where we stopped for some amazing ribs and pulled pork and a beer before continuing on to our hotel in Carabelle. First thing I wanted was wifi but ...
