Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte proclaimed his brother Louis Bonaparte king of Holland in July 1806. By 1809, Napoleon considered annexing Holland to stop the trade the Dutch secretly conducted with England. In 1810, failing to negotiate with either England or Louis, the emperor dispatched French troops against the Dutch capital. Louis abdicated and fled his kingdom, which Napoleon annexed to France.
"I should see an enemy of my country in any one who would change by force that which has been established by law."
Early Years
Louis Bonaparte was the younger brother of Napoleon Bonaparte and shared with Napoleon a difficult relationship their entire lives. Born Luigi Buonaparte in Agaccio, Corsica, to parents Carlo and Letizia Ramolino Buonaparte, on September 2, 1778, Louis was ambitious, like Napoleon, but suffered from emotional problems that probably limited his accomplishments and respect in the eyes of his more accomplished brother.
Early Career in Military
Louis Bonaparte followed his brother into the army and received a military education. With Napoleon's help, Louis was commissioned a lieutenant in the artillery and by 1796 accompanied him on the Italian campaign, where he rose to the rank of capitan. In 1798, he accompanied his brother to Egypt, where he was Napoleon's aide-de-camp. By age 25, he had risen to the rank of general, due not to actual military accomplishments but to his brother's influence. In truth, Louis showed little aptitude for military life, and after 1804 he didn't participate in any military campaigns. In 1805, he became the governor of Paris.
In 1802, Napoleon and his wife Josephine arranged for Louis Bonaparte to be married to Hortense de Beauharnais, Josephine's daughter by her first marriage and, hence, Louis's step-niece. The forced union led to dreadful results, due partly to Louis's violent jealousy of his wife and his growing resentment toward Napoleon. It is also speculated by some historians that Louis suffered from a form of mental illness and confused sexual orientation. The couple had three children, Napoléon Charles Bonaparte, Napoléon Louis Bonaparte and Charles Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte.
King of Holland
On July 5, 1806, Napoleon installed Louis Bonaparte as King of Holland with the intention that he would serve as no more than the Dutch governor. He hoped that Louis would enforce French navigation laws on Dutch merchants secretly trading with Great Britain. However, Louis chose to defend Holland's national interests. His record is mixed, as he showed strength in leading relief efforts after a ship explosion in the city of Leiden and during a major flood, but showed seriously erratic behavior in frequently and senselessly changing the location off the Dutch capital city. But it was Louis' unwillingness to have Holland join the Continental System that led Napoleon to dispatch French troops against the Dutch capital and force Louis to flee his kingdom. Napoleon annexed Holland to France on July 9, 1810.
Later Years
After leaving Holland, Louis Bonaparte was given asylum from Austrian Emperor Francis I, and between 1811 and 1813 he took refuge in Graz, Austria, where he turned to writing and poetry. After Napoleon's defeat in the Russian campaign, Louis wrote to him several times asking to be restored to his former position but was denied. He eventually settled in Rome to continue his literary pursuits. During the revolution of the 1830s his two sons fought for Italian unity. Napoléon Louis was killed in battle in northern Italy in 1831. Charles Louis-Napoléon assumed the leadership of the Bonaparte cause and was imprisoned after attempts to overthrow the reigning Orleans king. Charles was later proclaimed Emperor Napoleon III of France in 1852, but Louis didn't live to see this, having died on July 25, 1846.

I tried overclocking my CPU, (amd fx-8120) but once it reaches 3200MHz, windows Aero turns off. I'm sure the jump from 3100MHz to 3200MHz didn't harm the CPU...
Now, im not sure if i'm getting this problem because im using the AMD vision engine control center instead of the BIOS.
Pretty much what i'm asking is... is there anyone who has overclocked a fx-8120 and gotten the same problem, but actually has a solution?
I had the same thing happen to me... I was thinking it was a memory error when windows loads that was breaking Aero. But I did not investigate it further since I decided, why bother OC'ing a 4GHz CPU?
The MONSTER HTPC:
CPU: AMD FX-8350.||.Cooler: Corsair H80i MB: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD7.||.RAM: 8 GB Mushkin Blackline DDR3 2000MHz (7-10-8-27-1T) Case: CoolerMaster HAF 932.||.PSU: Corsair HX750 GPU:Asus R9 270X DirectCU II TOP.||.Audio: Creative X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro w/ Logitech Z-5300e (5.1, 280W-RMS) Drive: 2xMushkin Chronos 60GB RAID0.||.Storage: 8TB (4x500GB Caviar Black RAID0, 2TB Hitachi & 2x2TB Caviar Green)
I ended up doing the OC using the BIOS, and everything works fine. It seems to be just an issue on the driver software

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Representatives of Connecticut's gun industry say more should be done to keep guns out of the hands of people with mental health issues rather than banning some guns that would cost jobs.
Industry officials spoke at the Capitol on Monday, the first time they addressed gun issues since 20 children and six educators were killed at a Newtown elementary school on Dec. 14.
Lawrence Keane, senior vice president of the trade group the National Shooting Sports Foundation, says banning weapons such as assault rifles would not be effective.
The industry says gun companies employ more than 7,000 workers in the state who have incomes averaging $71,000 a year.
Rich Roland, a worker at Mossberg & Sons in North Haven, says he's concerned jobs would be lost if guns are banned.

Game Notes
The Twins and the Ft. Myers Miracle played this afternoon. Rochester got done early. New Britain finished up now, so I figured I would get the daily game updates and notes posted right away. But you are going to want to stop by again later when I will post a brand new Q&A.
TWINS 2, A's 11
The game started out so well. Carlos Gomez was back in the lineup, as he should have been after finally getting a much-needed game off on Wednesday night. He fouled off the first pitch with a bunt attempt, but five pitches later, he hit a home run to give the Twins a 1-0 lead. Well... it was all downhill after that. Francisco Liriano started for the Twins, walked the first batter he faced, and didn't even get out of the 1st inning. He gave up six earned runs on five hits and three walks. He faced ten batters and got two of them out. It took 35 pitches to do. Brian Bass came in and gave up four runs (3 earned) on seven hits and a walk in 3.1 innings. Jesse Crain gave up a run in two innings. Then Dennys Reyes and Juan Rincon each pitched a scoreless inning. Delmon Young was the only Twins hitter with more than a hit. He went 2-4.
The last two days, the big question was whether or not the Twins should send Carlos Gomez to AAA when they activated Michael Cuddyer after Thursday's game. In the end, the team determined, wisely, that Denard Span should go back to Rochester instead.
The big question today is What Do the Twins do with Francisco Liriano?! It is a good question, and it is a fair question. I am certain it is a question being discussed very seriously by Rick Anderson, Ron Gardenhire, Bill Smith and probably Liriano and his agent. So, what do I think? My opinion really hasn't changed much. I knew that the Twins would want to get Liriano back up quickly and thought it was the best way for him to get back. I don't totally disagree with that, but then in his two minor league starts, he did not show control and was hit around a little bit. That could be passed off as just getting back into game situations and feeling more comfortable. Whenever he came up to the big leagues, you had to know that there would be a different kind of adrenaline, and control would again be an issue for a little while. He has now been given four starts, and he has not shown improvement in the area that matters most, control. In fact, it is much worse.
What I would do is send Liriano down now. The Twins may not need a fifth starter right now, but based on this short start, they do need another pitcher in case there is a need for long relief during the Texas series. Liriano needs to stay on schedule, and he needs to get his control back. I think calling him up was understandable, but yet it is now time for him to go back down and improve. The Twins could take a couple of throw-away starts with the thought that he was getting better, but they can't just give away every fifth game while waiting for Liriano. Let him go down and pitch under a little less pressure, less scrutiny and just pitch.
So, who would I call up? Based on the fact that there are only 38 players on the Twins 40 man roster, I would call up Kevin Mulvey now to replace Liriano in the rotation. I would let him make a start, and then I would let him work out of the bullpen as a long reliever. I would keep him around for just in case situations until Kevin Slowey is able to come back up from his rehab assignment. Someone like Mulvey needs to have his innings watched, so I think that putting him in the bullpen, after making his debut, would be a good way to do that. If the Twins would have 40 players on their roster, then I would say that they could bring up either Philip Humber or Glen Perkins since the time up with the Twins would be a matter of a couple of weeks.
This decision, in no way, should give an impression that Francisco Liriano is thought of to any lesser degree. Liriano is still absolutely a vital part, if not the key part, of the Twins future success. When he is able to show better control, he can come right back up.
What do you think? What would you do?
The Twins will start a three game series in Texas against the Rangers this weekend. Will former Twins player Ron Washington still be the team's manager? That is certain up for debate right now. It's one of those cases where you can't fire 25, so you fire one. But as with any manager, it really is about your players, and Washington isn't the one throwing pitches for the Rangers! The Rangers have lost seven straight games. They just were swept in a three game series by the Detroit Tigers by a combined score of 37-10. Some notes on the Rangers hitters:
Frank Catalanotto is currently on a seven game hitting streak and has hit in nine of his last ten games.
Michael Young is on a nine game hitting streak. He has actually had two hits in four of his last five games. The streak raised his batting average from .196 to .286.
Their best hitter is Josh Hamilton, who the team acquired from the Reds before the season in exchange for pitcher Edinson Volquez. He is an excellent hitter, but the Rangers are in need of what... bats or arms???
Hank Blalock was a surprise early in the season. He was actually hitting .329 before this three game series when a 1-12 dropped his average to .293.
I look at their lineup and see that their catcher is either Gerald Laird or Adam Melhuse, and their 1B is Ben Broussard or Jason Botts... how is Jarrod Saltalamacchia not on this team?
I was surprised that Milton Bradley came back healthy so quickly after his devastating knee injury last year. He is the primary DH for the team and has really been good. He is currently hitting .329.
Friday - 7:05 - Nick Blackburn (1-1, 2.49, 1.22, .289) vs Kevin Millwood (1-2, 2.53, 1.56, .295)
Saturday - 7:05 - Scott Baker (2-0, 3.51, 1.01, .229) vs Scott Feldman (0-0, 4.50, 1.67, .348)
Sunday - 1:05 - Livan Hernandez (3-0, 3.55, 1.27, .279) vs Vicente Padilla (2-2, 4.97, 1.69, .317)
Twins and Twins Minor League Updates
Thursday SethSpeaks Player of the Day – Randy Ruiz, Rochester Red Wings
Thursday SethSpeaks Pitcher of the Day – Brian Duensing, Rochester Red Wings
Thursday - Red Wings 8, Lehigh Valley 2 – For the second straight outing, Brian Duensing had his best
start of the year. In seven innings, he gave up just one runs on three hits.
He walked none and struck out five to improve to 2-3. Ricky Barrett
struck out two in a scoreless eighth inning. Carmen Cali gave up a
solo homer in his inning. Randy Ruiz led the offense by hitting his
fourth double and first home run in four at bats. Jose Morales went
3-4 with two RBI. Garrett Jones returned to the lineup after missing
several games after running into the right field wall on a fly ball in a
game last week. He went 2-4. Matt Macri was also 2-4 with his seventh
Thursday - Rockcats 1, Trenton 2 –
Yohan Pino was very nearly the pitcher of the day today. But putting
his numbers next to Duensing's and I think I made the right choice. However,
what I am saying is that Pino pitched very well. Unfortunately, the Rockcat
bats didn't help him out, so he fell to 0-1. Pino went seven innings and
gave up just two runs on four hits. He walked none and struck out four.
Zach Ward pitched a scoreless eighth inning. New Britain managed just
seven hits. Dustin Martin went 2-4 (And stole his 6th base), and
David Winfree hit a solo homer for the team's lone run.
Thursday - Miracle 2, Tampa 4 – The Miracle had just six hits in this game. One of
them was the fourth double of Juan Portes. Cole DeVries falls
to 1-3. He gave up three runs (2 earned) on nine hits in five innings. He
didn't walk a batter, and he struck out five. Jose Lugo pitched two
shutout innings. Danny Vais gave up a run on two hits in his inning.
- Snappers – No Game Scheduled
Again, I will be back, but I would love your thoughts on Francisco Liriano, or any Twins related topics, or about their minor league system.

Gas prices, economic slump impacts RV sales
Published on Wed, Jul 30, 2008 by
Evan Mclean

by EVAN McLEAN
Staff writer
If theres one thing that brings home the high cost of gasoline, its filling up a recreational vehicle before hitting the road while getting less than a double-digit mile-per-gallon average.
Just ask Joe Valerio, of Sequim, who decided to sell his 23-foot 2003 Ford Kodiak. The rigs 35-gallon tank would cost $151.90 to fill up with regular unleaded at the Sequim Safeway as of July 28.
Its such a great RV that I think about keeping it all the time, he said, sitting in the drivers seat, parked across from Coneheads on West Washington Street in Sequim.
Gas prices have really had an effect on my willingness to take it out whenever I want to but there are still people out there looking for RVs.
Recreational vehicle sales are considered one of the nations larger economic thermometers and significantly dropping sales through 2008 indicate the U.S. economy may have more than the sniffles.
And the economic aches are being felt on the North Olympic Peninsula. But other trends like RV rentals and public park attendance hint at a steady tourism economy in the area.
RV manufacturers across the country have folded or are laying off employees, which has a dramatic effect on RV sellers such as Olympic RV, even more so than a market suddenly flooded with privately sold used RVs.
Used RVs with For Sale signs are being lined up in vacant lots in Sequim, such as where Valerio parks his.
They are parked not for recreation but for cash for the owner. Valerio said he is likely to take the cash from the sale and combine it with a Jeep Cherokee trade-in to get an economy car.
Harry Mitchell, co-owner of Olympic RV, said the long-standing RV retailer at 22 Gilbert Road in Carlsborg is going used in response to the changing industry.
Despite rumors, we are not going out of business just yet, he said. We are liquidating our inventory and we will no longer be selling new RVs, but that does not mean the end.
Mitchell said a handful of RV manufacturers have closed in recent months, including Western Recreation from Yakima.
When Western Recreation closed, it left us in a bit of a bind, Mitchell said. Washington has rules about new vehicles needing a warranty and banks will not finance an RV without a warranty, so we were forced to label those vehicles as used without a parent company to back their rigs.
While smaller manufacturers close down, even the heavyweights are feeling the strains of the soft economy.
Fleetwood Motorhomes, of Riverside, Calif., reported a 13-percent decline in sales in April, at a time it was beginning to lay off about 20 percent of its workforce. Winnebago Industries Inc., of Forest City, Iowa, reported a 2008 reduction in sales of 40 percent compared to 2007. The company has cut its workforce by 830 employees as of late June.
Winnebago is really a national economy indicator, Mitchell said. When discretionary spending goes, so does that section of the economy, which has a huge impact on the workforce nationally.
Spending on big-ticket items has gone down across the board and atop the water.
Greg Casad, with Port Angeles Power Equipment, said he has seen a decrease in purchases of new boats.
Almost everyone that is dealing with us locally is trading in their boats or getting the boats they have repaired, rather than buying new ones, Casad said. Even the smaller boats, which are popular this time of year, are not selling well compared to 2007.
While customers are buying used or investing in the equipment they already have, many others are renting.
The Recreational Vehicle Industry Association reported RV rental agencies had an increase in bookings in 2008. And amid rising gas prices, the association reports overall savings through RV usage due to the rising costs of airfare and hotels.
Mark Lockwood, of Castle Rock, is an example of someone staying relatively local, spending more on gas but less on rooms and recreation.
He takes his family to the Dungeness Recreation Area in his 12-foot Lance travel trailer every year.
This area is close enough for us to still make trips even with the higher gas prices, Lockwood said, sitting with his family around a fire pit at the Clallam County park. Its all about staying more local, rather than taking it on big trips.
In fact, Clallam County parks with recreational vehicle camping sites and hook-ups are doing better than ever.
This year is the first year we instituted site reservation in the Salt Creek and Dungeness parks and we have received highly favorable comments and an even higher use of the system, said Clallam County Parks and Fair supervisor Bruce Giddens. Everyone had been predicting terrible numbers, but we havent seen those yet as a result of the fuel cost situation. Really, we are seeing our highest numbers yet, especially in Salt Creek.
National statistics from the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association show:
• 2006 as the apex year in sales with 390,500 units sold
• 2007 had a 9.5-percent decline in RV shipments from manufacturers
• 2008s first-quarter shipments went down 11.8 percent from 2007
• 2009 is expected to be similar to 2008, eighth-best sales in past 25 years
• 2008 has 20-percent increase in RV rental bookings over 2007
• An average vacation for a family of four is cheaper in an RV than by other modes
Gas tax hiked
Motorists started feeling a new pain at the pump July 1 in the form of the last gas tax hike mandated by the 2005 Legislature.
Senate Bill 6103, which was signed by Gov. Chris Gregoire, increased the gas tax 3 cents a gallon in 2005 and in 2006. Then it increased the gas tax another 2 cents a gallon in 2007 with a final increase of 1.5 cents that started July 1, 2008.
The state gas tax is now 37.5 cents per gallon. When combined with the federal gas tax, the rate is 55.9 cents a gallon.
Washington state is now seventh in the nation for highest gas tax at nearly 56 cents per gallon. California is No. 1 at 74.9 cents, Connecticut is No. 2 at 70.8 cents, Illinois is No. 3 at 66.6, New York is No. 4 at 62.3, Michigan is No. 5 at 60.7 cents and Indiana is No. 6 at 56.9 cents.
The nationwide average for gas tax is 49.4 cents per gallon. Alaska has the lowest gas tax at 26.4 cents per gallon.
The state of Washingtons biennial transportation budget is supported by the fuel tax revenues as well as license, permit and fee revenues. To support the current, proposed biennial spending plan, legislators decided additional revenue was needed.
The 2005 bill passed the Senate with a vote of 26-22 and passed the House of Representatives with a vote of 54-43.

Where in the actual novel can I locate Faulkner's longest sentence (1,287 words) in...
Topic: Absalom, Absalom!
Where in the actual novel can I locate Faulkner's longest sentence (1,287 words) in "Absalom, Absalom?"? I cannot find it in the Guinness Book of World Records on-line or in the copies at my campus library.
My students cannot believe that a sentence can be that long without being a run-on, so I would like to analyze it with them.
2 Answers | add yours
I wasn't able to find the actual sentence, but I found this in Absalom, Absalom's Wikipedia entry:
The Guinness Book of World Records has an entry for what it claims is the longest proper sentence in English. It cites a sentence from "Absalom, Absalom! containing 1,287 words.

Is an Unconventional Music Venue with a Jagged Design the Last Hope for Williamsburg's Art Scene?
If Bedford Avenue is the main street of modern day Williamsburg, North Sixth Street is the hipster haven's Broadway. Home to the first proper grocery store (Tops), concert venue (Northsix), swap meet (Artists and Fleas) and grotesque theme restaurant (Sea), North Sixth Street has long been the grand stage of Williamsburg.
Now performing on North Sixth Street (even if Northsix is long gone, replaced by a Manhattan concert conglomerate) is the Original Music Workshop.
Conceived by Kevin Dolan, a former tax attorney who also happens to be an organ virtuoso, the Original Music Workshop seeks to provide a venue bridging new and old Williamsburg, sustaining music of all types for all ages. As the rest of the neighborhood continues its inexorable gentrification, Mr. Dolan hopes to preserve a tiny corner of Williamsburg cultural past, as well as one of its historic industrial buildings.
"It's amazing you can knock down anything and build whatever you want," Mr. Dolan said in an interview. "I'm hopeful that at least the south side of this block will still maintain its feel into the future." Read More

Kinetochores' gripping feat: conformational wave or biased diffusion? Trends in Cell Biology, Volume 21, Issue 1, 1 January 2011, Pages 38-46 Charles L. Asbury, Jerry F. Tien and Trisha N. Davis Abstract Climbing up a cliff while the rope unravels underneath your fingers does not sound like a well-planned adventure. Yet chromosomes face a similar challenge during each cell division. Their alignment and accurate segregation depends on staying attached to the assembling and disassembling tips of microtubule fibers. This coupling is mediated by kinetochores, intricate machines that attach chromosomes to an ever-changing microtubule substrate. Two models for kinetochore-microtubule coupling were proposed a quarter century ago: conformational wave and biased diffusion. These models differ in their predictions for how coupling is performed and regulated. The availability of purified kinetochore proteins has enabled biochemical and biophysical analyses of the kinetochore-microtubule interface. Here, we discuss what these studies reveal about the contributions of each model. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (580 kb) |
Curling and Local Shape Changes of Red Blood Cell Membranes Driven by Cytoskeletal Reorganization Biophysical Journal, Volume 99, Issue 3, 4 August 2010, Pages 808-816 Doron Kabaso, Roie Shlomovitz, Thorsten Auth, Virgilio L. Lew and Nir S. Gov Abstract Human red blood cells (RBCs) lack the actin-myosin-microtubule cytoskeleton that is responsible for shape changes in other cells. Nevertheless, they can display highly dynamic local deformations in response to external perturbations, such as those that occur during the process of apical alignment preceding merozoite invasion in malaria. Moreover, after lysis in divalent cation-free media, the isolated membranes of ruptured ghosts show spontaneous inside-out curling motions at the free edges of the lytic hole, leading to inside-out vesiculation. The molecular mechanisms that drive these rapid shape changes are unknown. Here, we propose a molecular model in which the spectrin filaments of the RBC cortical cytoskeleton control the sign and dynamics of membrane curvature depending on whether the ends of the filaments are free or anchored to the bilayer. Computer simulations of the model reveal that curling, as experimentally observed, can be obtained either by an overall excess of weakly-bound filaments throughout the cell, or by the flux of such filaments toward the curling edges. Divalent cations have been shown to arrest the curling process, and Ca2+ ions have also been implicated in local membrane deformations during merozoite invasion. These effects can be replicated in our model by attributing the divalent cation effects to increased filament-membrane binding. This process converts the curl-inducing loose filaments into fully bound filaments that arrest curling. The same basic mechanism can be shown to account for Ca2+-induced local and dynamic membrane deformations in intact RBCs. The implications of these results in terms of RBC membrane dynamics under physiological, pathological, and experimental conditions is discussed. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (324 kb) |
Red Blood Cell Membrane Dynamics during Malaria Parasite Egress Biophysical Journal, Volume 103, Issue 12, 19 December 2012, Pages 2475-2483 Andrew Callan-Jones, Octavio Eduardo Albarran Arriagada, Gladys Massiera, Vladimir Lorman and Manouk Abkarian Abstract Precisely how malaria parasites exit from infected red blood cells to further spread the disease remains poorly understood. It has been shown recently, however, that these parasites exploit the elasticity of the cell membrane to enable their egress. Based on this work, showing that parasites modify the membrane's spontaneous curvature, initiating pore opening and outward membrane curling, we develop a model of the dynamics of the red blood cell membrane leading to complete parasite egress. As a result of the three-dimensional, axisymmetric nature of the problem, we find that the membrane dynamics involve two modes of elastic-energy release: 1), at short times after pore opening, the free edge of the membrane curls into a toroidal rim attached to a membrane cap of roughly fixed radius; and 2), at longer times, the rim radius is fixed, and lipids in the cap flow into the rim. We compare our model with the experimental data of Abkarian and co-workers and obtain an estimate of the induced spontaneous curvature and the membrane viscosity, which control the timescale of parasite release. Finally, eversion of the membrane cap, which liberates the remaining parasites, is driven by the spontaneous curvature and is found to be associated with a breaking of the axisymmetry of the membrane.

Microtubule self-assembly is largely governed by the chemical kinetics and thermodynamics of tubulin-tubulin interactions. An important aspect of microtubule assembly is that hydrolysis of the β-tubulin-associated GTP promotes protofilament curling. Protofilament curling presumably drives the transition from tip structures associated with growth (sheetlike projections and blunt ends) to those associated with shortening (rams' horns and frayed ends), and transitions between these structures have been proposed to be important for growth-shortening transitions. However, previous models for microtubule dynamic instability have not considered such structures or mechanics explicitly. Here we present a three-dimensional model that explicitly incorporates mechanical stress and strain within the microtubule lattice. First, we found that the model recapitulates three-dimensional tip structures and rates of assembly and disassembly for microtubules grown under standard conditions, and we propose that taxol may stabilize microtubule growth by reducing flexural rigidity. Second, in contrast to recent suggestions, it was determined that sheetlike tips are more likely to undergo catastrophe than blunt tips. Third, partial uncapping of the tubulin-GTP cap provides a possible mechanism for microtubule pause events. Finally, simulations of the binding and structural effects of XMAP215 produced the experimentally observed growth and shortening rates, and tip structure.

Central Venous Access Catheters
A central venous access catheter is a tube that is inserted beneath your skin so there is a simple, pain-free way for doctors or nurses to draw your blood or give you medication or nutrients. When you have a central venous access catheter, you are spared the irritation and discomfort of repeated needlesticks.In interventional radiology, placement of a central venous catheter can usually be performed with moderate sedation and local anesthetic. Approximately 5 million central venous access catheters are placed each year, and doctors are increasingly recommending their use. There are several types of central venous access catheters:
Tunneled small-bore catheters,which are often referred to as Hohn, Hickman, or Broviac catheters, are frequently used for infusion of antibiotics or other medications, nutritional supplements, and chemotherapy treatments. Depending on the expected duration of use, these catheters may have retention cuffs to reduce infection risk and prevent accidental removal, or they may simply have an antibiotic-impregnated cuff, which reduces infection risk but allows for easy catheter removal. Some of our tunneled small-bore catheters can be used with a power injector for a CT scan or MRI, avoiding a separate intravenous catheter placement.
Peripherally inserted central catheters (also called PICC lines) are placed in the veins of the upper arms. They are easily removed and are used when venous access is required for weeks up to a few months. Some of our PICC lines can also be used with a power injector for a CT scan or MRI.
Tunneled dual-lumen catheters are placed in patients requiring stem cell transplant or for other indications that require larger flow volumes than can be provided by a small-bore catheter.
Tunneled dialysis catheters are placed in patients who require hemodialysis. These catheters are specially designed for rapid flow of blood to and from the dialysis machine. These are most frequently placed in the veins of the neck, although other sites can be used if necessary. Tunneled dialysis catheters are placed in patients who require hemodialysis but do not have a functioning fistula or graft. If a previously functional hemodialysis fistula or graft is experiencing poor flows or thromboses, interventional radiologists can also use procedures such as angioplasty, stent placement, and thrombolytic therapy to salvage function.
Implantable ports ports are most frequently used for cancer chemotherapy or for patients with diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, for which there will be a long-term need for frequent venous access. These ports can be maintained for longer periods (months to years). They are placed and removed by a small surgical incision and lie entirely under the skin. They are accessed with a special needle. These are available with a single lumen (most commonly used) or two lumens. Most of the ports we implant can be used with a power injector for a CT scan or MRI.
Which patients require central venous access catheters?
Doctors often recommend CVAC's for patients who regularly undergo:
- Chemotherapy treatments
- Infusions of antibiotics or other medications
- Nutritional supplement infusions
- Hemodialysis
When and how are central venous access catheters removed?
When the central venous access catheter is no longer necessary, or if a catheter-related infection arises, interventional radiologists can assist in removing the catheter. Certain catheters such as PICC lines and Hohn catheters can be easily removed at the bedside or in clinic. Other catheters may require dissection of the cuff from the subcutaneous tissues, which requires sterile technique, local anesthetic and possibly sedation. Port catheters require a small incision for removal.

Two words: lace-ups. We're not referring to the more modest Victorian-inspired lace-up styles, but to all-out lattice detailing and open-front lacing iterations that beg for a double take. Tory Burch turned out a ladylike iteration by way of lace-up oxford heels, Rodarte showed off a rugged aviator-inspired rendition, and Balenciaga toyed with the idea of a spicier kind of athletic sensibility. It was when we laid eyes on Salvatore Ferragamo's sexy, velvet-infused flamenco pair, pictured here, that we knew. You don't need to bare it all to take on Fall's subtler brand of sex appeal — all you really need to do is subscribe to the laced-up look. Thus, we've scouted out the best 13 pairs to get the job done — just keep clicking. Source: Getty What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The laced-up look made the Fall '12 rounds in New York City, Milan, and Paris. Whether you approach it from a ladylike avenue or opt for an over-the-top sexy style, lace-up detailing has dominated every shoe silhouette this season. To prove our point, we've got three standout cases. Salvatore Ferragamo gave us the ultimate lesson in sultry velvet-meets-flamenco lace-ups, Balenciaga took on a sportier vibe with a wider lace-up front, and Tory Burch kept it ultrafeminine with a lace-up oxford heel.

Celebrity Body Makeovers
By Genevieve Monsma
May 4, 2007 8:00 AMAlicia Keys
THIGH TRIMMING: Alicia Keys (before)
Alicia Keys
Alicia Keys (after) MAKEOVER MOVES: Cardio! says DiMuzio. Most cardio activities - running, biking, cross-country skiing, etc. - primarily work the legs. So breaking a sweat a minimum of four times a week for at least 30 minutes is crucial. Add to that this spot-training move from DiMuzio: Stand with your feet together, arms hanging by your sides. Now step with your right leg into a side lunge (right leg is bent, left leg is straight, torso is facing forward). Hold briefly, then push back to up. Do two to three sets of 20 reps on each side.
Lara Flynn Boyle
Lara Flynn Boyle (after) MAKEOVER MOVES: Replace fat-burning workouts like running with lower-intensity exercises like walking to work the heart without burning as many calories, says Mark DiMuzio, a trainer at the Sports Club/LA in New York City. Also, build muscle mass by doing strength-training sets (between eight and 10 reps) with heavier weights (eight to 12 pounds). And increase your protein and healthy-fat intake with lean meats, fish, beans and avocados.
Lara Flynn Boyle
FILL OUT YOUR FIGURE: Lara Flynn Boyle (before)
Catherine Zeta-Jones
Catherine Zeta-Jones (after) MAKEOVER MOVES: Cardio is the key to getting rid of lingering pregnancy pounds, says DiMuzio. But avoid anything that twists the pelvis, such as kickboxing, for the first 12 weeks postdelivery. Your best bet? Fast-walking or jogging on the treadmill for 30 minutes four times a week. To target your middle, do the plank pose five times a week: Assume the lifted position of a push-up, keeping your body in a straight line. Work up to one minute.
Catherine Zeta-Jones
POST-BABY BODY: Catherine Zeta-Jones (before)
Renée Zellweger
Renée Zellweger (after) MAKEOVER MOVES: Strengthening your back - and improving your posture - is step one in getting rid of extra flesh that squishes out from your bra, says DiMuzio. To do this, try the "prone cobra" four times a week: Lie flat on the floor, chest down, arms by your sides. Without using your hands, lift your chest off the floor and hold for one minute, squeezing your shoulder blades together (if you can't hold that long, try two sets of 30 seconds). Lie down, rest for 30 seconds, then lift again (repeat twice for a total of three sets).
Renée Zellweger
BYE BYE BRA BULGE: Renée Zellweger (before)
AB OVERHAUL: Pink (before)
Pink (after).
MAKEOVER MOVES: You have to do lots of "hanging leg raises" and reverse crunches for a lower stomach that's ripped, says DiMuzio. The leg raises can be done on a hanging-leg machine - a staple at most gyms. Hoist yourself up on your forearms so that your upper body supports your weight and your legs dangle. Then lift your knees toward your chest. Slowly lower. Repeat 20 times. For the reverse crunches, lie flat on your back with knees bent at a 90-degree angle to the floor. Lift your butt and lower back up; slowly lower. Repeat 20 times.
Jennifer Garner
Jennifer Garner (after).
MAKEOVER MOVES: The secret to making your arms buff (but not bulky) is light weights and lots of reps. When doing bicep curls and tricep extensions (essentials for arms like Garner's), use weights no heavier than eight pounds and do three sets of 20 reps. Yoga and Pilates will also help create sinewy arms, says Kacy Duke, creative consultant for Equinox Fitness Clubs, so incorporate them into your regimen once or twice a week.

MAKEOVER MOVES: If you are heavy, choose activities that are gentle on the joints, such as Pilates, aqua aerobics, biking and the elliptical trainer. It's also wise to jump-start your fitness regimen with a few personal training sessions, says Duke, since you'll need a customized strength-training program to really effect change.

MAKEOVER MOVES: To shrink your middle, nutrition plays nearly as important a role as fitness, because improper food choices cause bloating, says DiMuzio. So drink lots of water and curtail the junk food. Fitnesswise, cardio is essential to burn the layer of fat around your middle and tone your core: stomach, sides and back. (Exercising just your abs will make you appear slouched.) Pilates and yoga are also great for your core.

MAKEOVER MOVES: Lunges are the secret - they target the glutes, thighs and hamstrings, says DiMuzio. Start by standing with your feet together, holding five- to eight-pound dumbbells in each hand. Now step forward into a lunge with your right foot, hold briefly, then step back up as you do a bicep curl. Do 15 on each side for a total of 30.

Drew Barrymore (after) MAKEOVER MOVES: Circuit training is the quickest way to drop those last 10 pounds, says DiMuzio. To create your own circuit, do two minutes of intense cardio (such as sprinting on the treadmill), followed by one set of light-weight toning moves (such as 20 bicep curls with three-pound weights). Alternate for 30 minutes, working most of your major muscle groups. For help structuring your routine, take a cardio-sculpt class at the gym.
