The Society was set up in Michaelmas 1992 under the guidance of Dr David Nowell, at that time the Senior Treasurer of the Boat Club. Its aim is to generate support for the current Boat Club from old members with fond memories of rowing on the Isis. In providing social events, such as Eights Week drinks parties and Reunion Dinners, we hope to bridge the gap between past and present members of the Club.
All members of the House who have an interest in the Boat Club are encouraged to join. If you remain in contact with other members of the House who rowed, please let them know about the Society too.
Through its fund-raising activities the Society is able to donate equipment to the Club - and has done so to a great extent; old member generosity has provided the ChChBC with boats, blades and ergos, but also with much-needed support, such as the coaching launch and the 16-seat minibus which permits transport to and from our training water at Wallingford. Above all, the Society provides coaching - not only directly by old members who give their time, but specifically in funding the fees of hired professional coaches who bring the most modern training methods and rowing technique to the Club. While expensive, this has proved the basis of the Club's recent high levels of success - and it has been interesting watching other colleges following where the House has led.
Social events organised for Society members are also an excellent opportunity to meet old friends and current boaties in a convivial milieu. The annual calendar comprises a gathering at London Rowing Club to watch the Boat Race, support for House crews at Torpids and at Eights, the ever-popular Boat Club Dinner in June and the Henley Saturday drinks party.
Old members are always welcome at these events, of which notice is given on this site, in Christ Church Matters and in the Society's newsletter BoatHouse, which is sent to all Society members to keep them up to date with the results and activities of the Boat Club. Any contributions to the newsletter are gratefully received.
If you are not currently a member of the Christ Church Boat Club Society but you would like to be, please e-mail Jonathan Carley (firstname.lastname@example.com), Membership Secretary .
Minimum membership fee is £50 per annum and all membership contributions can be treated as Gift Aid donations. Membership is free for your first five years after leaving Christ Church, and while you are still in full-time education

Like Bill Clinton, Obama has no concept of dignity. Both men have a sense of being offended, but they don't have a natural gentleman inside, lacking father figures in their young lives. Obama is crude by nature. He himself has said he was a 'Jakarta street kid'. He has never left that beginning. Click Here if you Like this Comment

No class.....some people do not have it. Sometimes it is understandable due to circumstances. Maybe this is one of those cases. In my opinion, Obama, Clinton, Nixon...all have diminished the Presidency each in their own way. There have probably been others.Politics aside, I would like to see leadership in all areas, including dignified language. Oh...and Biden ? More pathetic than Obama. Just a foolish man.

And instead of a public apology, the president responded with an only slightly suppressed version of his famous "joker smirk."Then there is his "spiritual tutor" with "God D**M America from the pulpit of Obama's church of twenty years.And his cute trick of laying the wrong finger beside his nose as a subtle "high five" to his base during speeches.And dozens of others....

Leftism is a kind of arrested emotional development that keeps victims stuck in adolescence, so it is no surprise they act, think and talk like grandiose, know it all, rebellious teenagers. Much of it is posing and posturing - an act intended to demonstrate independence and superiority to common conventions. Potty mouth is a mark of distinction, not something to be ashamed of. It proves one is no fool that he is righteous, that he is not afraid of transgressing the limits. Once upon a time it shocked and horrified the bourgeoisie. Now, of course, it is old hat. It is expected. And even when people who are supposed to be adults, e.g. the president &etc. use such language, we are only mildly surprised. We are used to it.Profanity and vulgarity in speech, besides being markers for an immature world view, are highly correlated with impoverished thinking and a constricted working vocabulary. They are manifestations of mental laziness and carelessness, of a mind that is fundamentally undisciplined and subject to emotions. They usually connote a dogmatic, rigid, intolerant personality. And they represent bad manners and disrespect for others, particularly in the presence of strangers. They pollute discourse. It might be acceptable or funny to pass gas noisily and odiferously in the presence of one's friends - but to do so in public is boorish and juvenile, like Leftism itself.

Obama is nasty and vulgar because those characters are molded into his DNA. When things are going well, those things bubble below the surface.

Gentlemanlyness, courteous behavior toward others is looked upon as a hallmark of the established oppressive culture. Just like non-violence -'because they already have what you deserve and don't want you take it from them'. Vulgarity is a means of differentiating yourself and identifying with the victims. Its the essence of cool. Many of the positions on social issues - homosexuality, abortion, traditional role of women in a nuclear family, faith etc. are also driven by this. They will be vulgar because it is in their very nature as Left Wingers. This is not Liberalism. Hubert Humphrey, George McGovern, Daniel Patrick Moynihan were all Libersls.

In some ways Obama reminds me of a feral child grown into an adult.He exhibits zero manners or etiquette.The first couple of months Brian Kneepad Williams had an hour special where he trailed Obama.As they rode together in the back of the People's multimillion dollar presidential limo-Obama put his shoes up on the seat.During the ram through of Obamacare , I saw him body block Pelosi and shove her out of the way ,so he could walk through a door first.She was stunned at his rudeness and started looking around chagrined .Obama wrote often in Dreams of his rage against whites and America.Combine that with his bizarre upbringing , the early indoctrination into the culture of Marxism, pedophilia and Islam, the heavy drug use ,the absence of a work ethic,the lack of education and the NPD ( Narcissistic Personality Disorder ) and we have one perfect storm of an extremely dysfunctional POTUS.

I'll agree with Ledeen on the vulgarity, but it's not new. JFK was a sex addict that we KNOW commanded young women to "service" some of his senior staff. LBJ was a mean, snarly, nasty man with very foul language. . .and we're all very familiar with Bill "put some ice on that" Clinton; not to mention the long list of Democrat Senators who played nasty in DC for years (led by Teddy, of course). Obama and Biden are just part and parcel of their gang of thugs.The cleanest one out of the entire group was Jimmy Carter and that is because he came from completely outside the establishment.

Obama thinks his position of power gives him the right to say or not to say anything he wants. He also thinks he can do anything he wants or not do it.

Presidents have always cussed in in private, I'd guess. They probably also occasionally or even frequently got a little drunk. They may have had dalliances or kept mistresses or misters even( Who knows or cares?)The difference is that the press more or less kept their mouths shut out of respect for the office and personal privacy. Politicians, in return for that consideration, never flaunted their business.Clinton brought sex to the Oval Office, but that was more symptom than cause: over the past few decades the line between private and public has eroded. At the same time we've enshrined a "right to privacy" in our legal and ethical codes we've seen both the extent of that private and public domains diminish. Private acts are routinely displayed in public and the increasingly voyeuristic public is entitled to know whatever secrets any celebrity may be trying to keep.There is one proviso in this new understanding: we are not allowed to judge the person solely on the revelation alone. We can only condemn that person if a charge of hypocrisy can be sustained.Welcome to the new error-- I mean, era. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.

I vividly remember when I was a child and my mother heard me or one of my siblings say a "bad" word, she would literally wash our mouth with soap. Lesson learned.I have actually heard Bob Blabbermouth on Fox New's The Five use the "F" on live TV. Of course he apologized for it, but you could see by his demeanor that he really didn't mean it. He just got caught.And one problem with all of this profanity being used in our modern day is that most of us put up with it. I mean, when the last time when you heard someone use profanity in public, did you step forward and politely ask that person NOT to use language like that in public? If not, then you have acquiesced to that type of language. Even here at LCom, there is a code of speech and use of language that if you violate it, you get barred.

WASHINGTON – Using a Pakistani Internet Protocol, or IP address, a disposable credit card and a fake address, "Osama bin Laden" has successfully donated twice to Barack Obama's presidential re-election campaign.The "Bin Laden" donations, actually made by WND staff, included a listed occupation of "deceased terror chief" and a stated employer of "al-Qaida.""Bin Laden" is currently set up on the official campaign website to contribute more to Obama's campaign. The name is also registered as a volunteer.Since the "foreign" contribution was sent, "Bin Laden's" email address has received several solicitations from Obama's campaign asking for more donations.The acceptance of foreign contributions is strictly illegal under U.S. campaign finance law.One $15 donation was made at BarackObama.com using a confirmed Pakistani IP address. In other words, as far as the campaign website was concerned, the donation was openly identified electronically as coming from Pakistan.Upon clicking the "donate" button, WND staff selected the $15 amount and were taken to a page on the campaign website asking for a first and last name, city, state, zip code, email address and phone number.The information submitted was: "Osama bin Laden, 911 Jihad Way, Abbottabad, CA 91101."While the website only has options for U.S. states and zip codes, there is no mechanism in place on Obama's website to verify the individual is actually located in that state or zip code, or even in the U.S.The Obama campaign refuses to release the identification of donors who give less than $200In the case of this donation, the 91101 zip code is real but corresponds to Pasadena, Calif., and not Abbottabad, the Pakistani city in which bin Laden was found holed up in a compound.For a requested phone number, WND inputted the White House information line of (202) 456-2121.The email address used to set up the donation account was email@example.com.

Recall "Doo-Dad Pro". That was the donor to Obama from Gaza in the '08 election. Many computer experts on the 'net told them: 'your security is turned off.' and told them how to re-estblish it.

Maybe this video can prove what a "brother" says about him. It's worth looking at, it hits right at home... let any liberal accuse conservatives of racism and here you have it from a man who's black and who says it as it is..he's no intellectual but he's not blind-sided by the lies and the bunkum of the media and the president's campaign.http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2933126/posts Click Here if you Like this Comment

This is one of our regular places to eat when we are in Searcy. The food is always fresh and there is plenty of it. We have always been treated well. The restaurant is loaded with booths so there is always a good quiet place to sit.
This is one of our regular places to eat when we are in Searcy. The food is always fresh and there is plenty of it. We have always been treated well. The restaurant is loaded with booths so there is always a good quiet place to sit.
Our food tasted good and service was acceptable. Good value. The only thing I would change would be the chips. My preference are thinner crispier chips--not the thick crunchy ones. (Just my preference). It wasn't fantastic, but we would eat there again.
The staff was friendly without being overbearing, the food was topnotch, especially if you're brave and go for a house specialty. The grilled chicken with cheese and spinach was topnotch!
I called in my chicken taco salad and asked them to minus the shell. My food was done quick and the people were very courteous. When I open my bowl I couldn't even see any lettuce. It was so sloppy with refried beans and melted cheese. It was still tasty but I wasn't wanting it so sloppy. I was wanting... More
Stayed at Knights Inn and had Dinner next door at Los Montano's. Lots of food, great service. Best beef taco ever! I ordered a combo plate for 8.50 and it was enough for 2 people. Service was friendly, fast and fabulous.
I eat there regularly and they have never let me down! Cheese dip is amazing so is the sweet tea! I typically get the surf and turf or the yolandas combo, but they have a wide variety to choose from.
food was not up to par.. small portions an not verry tastey... had an old taste...service was slow an not friendly..
The food was wonderful and the service was great! I will definitely eat there again and I look forward to it.
The food and service here were excellent. My only complaint is that the "giant" burrito was not so giant ... but then again my wife says my appetite is beyond giant. She loved whatever it was she had. I'm sorry I can't remember the name of it. Our kids were pleased. We were part of a large group and the... More
Nothing special here. Not bad though. Just all around average.

This family-oriented seaside resort, typical of the lifestyle and atmosphere on the Charente coast, is a stone's throw from the Ile d'Aix, the little harbour, the old castle fortified by Vauban and the casino. A walk through the woods full of green oaks, tamarisks and pine trees is a must before heading to one of its sandy beaches. You can explore the oyster farms, beaches, mudflats and all along the rocky coastline on one of the tours leaving from the fortified peninsula.

300 years ago, the Grubbs were exiled from England for religious differences.

Skookum Flats
11/23/12 (Fri)
Tacoma Hiking
Amy Mann
Tacoma TBD based on geography of group
Forest hike on a trail shared with mountain bikes. Good dirt tread with some boardwalks and bridges over marshy areas. The trail is uphill from and follows the White River. From the Trailhead on Road 73 it is 2 miles to Skookum Falls, the source of Skookum Creek which flows down to the White River. There is a steep (sometimes muddy) side trail up for a closer view of the Falls. From the Falls it is 2 miles to Buck Creek and the site of the old suspension bridge that was taken out by falling trees in the fall storms of 2006. Buck Creek Road is another mile, making it 5 miles total one way. Elevation gain is about 500 feet, in several spates of ups and downs. There is a water crossing (usually wide and shallow) at Skookum Creek. See hike listing on card #28 in the Winter Hikes of Western Washington Deck.
An alternative to the after Thanksgiving shopping madness! A leisurely paced hike with plenty of stops to admire the scenery, take pictures, soak up the serenity of the forest, catch our breath, adjust gear and clothing, etc., etc. We'll stay together as a group. If you haven't been on one of my trips before you should get in touch with me, via email or phone, so we can chat about our mutual expectations for the day. Optional stop on the way home for pie or dinner, drivers' choice.
This is no longer open for registration

Demand Response: An Overview of Enabling Technologies
Demand Response: An Overview of Enabling Technologies
Oak Ridge National Laboratory engineers say residential and commercial customers must bear the true price of power, through new technologies, for electric competition to work.
Recent electricity price spikes in California are a painful example of how customers are overly impacted by the changing electricity markets. Unfortunately, these customers have little or no control over the electricity market. In general, the present U.S. electricity markets are not typical by any standard, at least not for small customers. While both homeowners and small businesses freely shop around for many commodities and buy items on sale or at quantity discount prices, this has not been possible in the case of electricity. And why not? If the markets were open, available on a "real-time" basis, and users could avoid blindly purchasing during price spikes, it would not only benefit them financially, it would greatly reduce the spiking and improve the availability of electricity. Allowing customers to actively manage/change their loads in response to system conditions might be thought of as the ultimate reliability resource.
Customers presently do not experience directly the time-varying costs of their consumption choices. While electricity suppliers may be riding a wild roller coaster of rapidly changing prices, the customers may see only a fixed rate that rarely increases. Consequently, they have no incentive to modify their choices in ways that might lower their bill, enhance reliability, or improve the efficiency of the markets in which electricity is traded. Even if they were not so thoroughly isolated from the gyrating price swings, they would need additional tools such as, (1) a communications link to inform them of real-time prices, (2) accurate metering, and (3) a control system that facilitates either manual or automatic modification of their consumption. Drawing from a recent study, 1 much of this article will describe these technologies.
If a large aluminum smelter can drop 100 megawatts (MW) of load in an afternoon when price spiking exists and save over $50,000, clearly there must be some attractive potential savings for small businesses and homeowners. In a future market, hotel managers could have a control system programmed to monitor the Internet for market spikes and shut down water heaters and air conditioners in selected rooms (i.e., unoccupied and/ or occupied and time-of-day dependent), and homeowners could shut off the hot water heater, turn down the air conditioning, and turn off the pool pump for a few hours.
Load as a Resource:
Can Energy Shortages Really Be Made Up Through Customers?Power companies need help from the customers whether they know it or not. Many companies have come to acknowledge this out of desperation and others may simply succumb to changing market forces. Ancillary services include a wide array of load reduction, power generation, and power quality improving actions. Ancillary services can be provided by electricity customers to the power companies and are of monetary interest to the power companies or, to be precise, they should be of interest. For the sake of argument, let us assume that the difficult issues (i.e., barriers)

European Football Saturday Round-up
A review of all the results across selected leagues in Europe on a thrilling day of football.
Clydesdale Bank Premier League
Goals by Gary Hooper and Victor Wanyama gave Celtic a comfortable 2-0 win over bottom side Dundee.
Visiting goalkeeper Robert Douglas had earlier saved a Scott Brown penalty before Hooper hammered home the opener in the 38th minute.
Wanyama then fired in from distance after four minutes of the second half.
Hibernian blew their chance to go top of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League as they surrendered a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Inverness.
Eoin Doyle's opener and a terrific strike from David Wotherspoon had given the home side a comfortable advantage.
However, Conor Pepper pulled one back before Richie Foran grabbed a late equaliser for Caley Thistle, who remain without a league win this season.
Cillian Sheridan scored his first goal for Kilmarnock as they defeated St Mirren 3-1 at Rugby Park.
Sheridan opened the scoring after 26 minutes and James Fowler doubled the hosts' lead 12 minutes into the second half.
A wonderful individual effort from James Dayton on the hour mark added to St Mirren's misery, and despite Paul McGowan's deflected consolation the hosts held on.
Callum Paterson netted twice as Hearts claimed their first win since the opening day of the campaign by beating Dundee United 3-0.
Paterson's strikes sandwiched an Arvydas Novikovas' goal as Hearts bounced back from consecutive defeats by Dundee and St Mirren.
Ross County's 40-match unbeaten run came to an end with a 2-1 defeat to 10-man St Johnstone.
Liam Craig gave Saints the lead, but the Perth side went a player down a couple of minutes later when Rowan Vine was sent off.
Sam Morrow hit a deserved equaliser for County in the 68th minute, but Saints grabbed a vital second in the 85th minute through Frazer Wright.
Swedish Allsvenskan
Alhassan Kamara scored in the last minute to secure a 2-2 draw for Orebro away to Syrianska FC.
Orebro had taken the lead through Shpetim Hasani after just four minutes, but looked set for defeat after Dinko Felic (46) and Sharbel Touma (73) put the home side in front.
However, Kamara popped up in the dying seconds to snatch a point for the lowly visitors, who are four points above bottom side GAIS.
French Ligue 1
Paris St Germain's resurgence continued apace as the big-spending capital club swept Bastia aside 4-0 in a one-sided encounter at Stade Armand Cesari.
After opening the Ligue 1 season with three straight draws, PSG have now won three on the spin to muscle their way into the top three.
A brace by Zlatan Ibrahimovic allied to efforts by Jeremy Menez and Blaise Matuidi secured all the points for Carlo Ancelotti's men, as promoted Bastia slipped to their fourth league defeat on the trot.
Toulouse rescued a point in extraordinary fashion as goalkeeper Ali Ahamada scored a 94th-minute equaliser in a 2-2 draw with Rennes.
The away side led twice through Jonathan Pitroipa (eight) and Mevlut Erding (64), with Wissam Ben Yedder having initially equalised on 22 minutes.
But just when an away win seemed certain, Ahamada went forward for a last-gasp free-kick and powered in a header to send the home fans into a frenzy.
Promoted Reims continued their solid start by inflicting a 2-0 defeat on Nancy.
Gaetan Courtet opened the scoring after seven minutes and Diego Rigonato put the game beyond Nancy by converting a penalty on the hour against the run of play to lift the top-flight newcomers to fifth spot.
Troyes' winless start continued as Sochaux condemned the promoted side to their fourth defeat in six outings following their return to the top flight.
Sebastien Roudet, Thierry Doubai and Cedric Bakambu were on target for Sochaux, who climb out of the relegation zone thanks to the 3-1 win.
Julien Faussurier struck Troyes' consolation in the first half, but the dismissal of Jean Christophe Bahrebeck for an ugly challenge on Sebastien Corchia in the 56th minute was a setback from which the rock-bottom visitors were unable to recover.
Elsewhere, Brest moved up to eighth after coming from behind to beat 10-man Valenciennes 2-1.
The away side took the lead through Mathieu Dossevi after 10 minutes and it took until the hour mark for Brest to get back on level terms through Jonathan Ayite.
Eden Ben Basat then put Brest in front from the spot after Brazilian defender Gil was sent off for conceding the penalty, while Valenciennes were denied a last-minute equaliser by the post in a thrilling finish.
Ten-man Lorient left it late to secure a 1-1 draw against Nice.
The visitors led for much of the match through Camel Meriem's first-half goal and the dismissal of Gregory Bourillon did little to ease Lorient's nerves.
But substitute Kevin Monnet-Paquet brought the home crowd to their feet in the final minute with his equaliser.
Dutch Eredivisie
Vitesse Arnhem missed the chance to take over top spot in the Eredivisie after being held to a 1-1 draw by Heracles Almelo.
The home side paid the price for wasting a number of first-half chances as Heracles went ahead three minutes after the interval, Ben Rienstra setting up Ninos Gouriye to slot home from close range.
However, the Arnhem club earned an equaliser after 73 minutes when Mieke te Wierik clattered into Marco van Ginkel in the area. A penalty was awarded and Wilfried Bony kept a cool head with his kick.
Vitesse remain unbeaten this season although the result leaves them one point behind leaders FC Twente, who also have a game in hand.
Willem II fought out a goalless draw at NEC Nijmegen with the point enough to lift them off the foot of the table.
Melvin Platje had the ball in the back of the net for NEC after 12 minutes but the goal was disallowed after he was adjudged to have fouled goalkeeper David Meul.
Meul also had to pull off a good save to keep out a shot from Geert Arend Roorda while Ryan Koolwijk curled a free-kick narrowly past the post for the home side, who had the better chances.
A red card for Kevin Conboy two minutes from time for his challenge on Virgil Misidjan eventually knocked the fight out of NEC, but Willem II were unable to capitalise.
Zwolle threw away their advantage to lose 2-1 at home to FC Groningen as their search for a first win of the season continues.
The newly-promoted side were gifted the lead after 23 minutes when a blunder from goalkeeper Luciano allowed Youness Mokhtar to score.
And it looked like Zwolle had done enough until Groningen struck twice in the last six minutes.
Genero Zeefuik equalised after 84 minutes, putting away the rebound after Virgil van Dijk was unsuccessful with his shot, and Michael de Leeuw hit the winner four minutes later by heading home a cross from Maikel Kieftenbeld.
VVV-Venlo are also without a win yet, playing out a 1-1 draw at RKC Waalwijk tonight.
Marcel Seip fired VVV in front after just six minutes, beating the offside trap to chip the ball over goalkeeper Jeroen Zoet.
Henrico Drost hit the crossbar as RKC hunted for an equaliser, while Siep also headed against the post shortly after the interval as the visitors threatened a second goal.
The hosts equalised after 56 minutes when Teddy Chevalier provided the finishing touch to a deep pass from Jeff Stans, and they could have gone ahead 10 minutes later but the woodwork intervened once more to keep out Rodney Sneijder.
Portuguese Primeira Liga
Porto brushed aside Beira Mar 4-0 to move three points clear at the top of the Liga standings.
Jackson Martinez fired the opener after 32 minutes with Silvestre Varela adding a second six minutes later.
James Rodriguez further stretched their advantage two minutes into the second half before Maicon wrapped up the scoring 19 minutes from time.
The defending champions are unbeaten in four matches while Beira Mar are still searching for their first win of the campaign.
Russian Premier League
CSKA Moscow came from two goals to snatch a late 3-2 victory at Volga Nizhny Novgorod and retain their place at the top of the Premier League standings.
The hosts looked to be in control after first-half goals from Ilya Maksimov (21) and Aleksei Sapogov (44).
However, Alan Dzagoev scored twice in the 58th and 70th minutes to level matters before Ahmed Musa struck four minutes from time to steal the points.
CSKA sit two points above Lokomotiv Moscow, who replaced Terek Grozny in second place with a comfortable 3-0 win.
Maksim Grigorev got the ball rolling for Lokomotiv after 62 minutes with late goals from substitutes Victor Obinna and Maicon adding gloss to the scoreline.
Zenit St Petersburg rescued a 2-2 draw at 10-man Krylya Sovetov to retain their top-four place.
Sergey Kornilenko and Luis Caballero gave Krylya a two-goal lead but Hulk pulled a goal back for Zenit before the home side saw Alexandru Epureanu sent off.
The visitors then made their man advantage count with Roman Shirokov's 79th-minute equaliser.
Dinamo Moscow also profited from the dismissal of Ivan Cherenchikov to edge out Amkar Perm 3-2.
The hosts trailed to a Martin Jakubo goal but hit back through Jakob Jantscher before Cherenchikov saw red after 37 minutes.
Kevin Kuranyi and Aleksandr Kokorin then handed Dinamo a 3-1 lead, with Michal Breznanik's reply coming too late for Amkar.
Belgian Jupiler Pro League
Champions Anderlecht climbed to second in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League this evening with a 3-2 victory at Zulte-Waregem.
Tom De Sutter netted the winner three minutes from time, settling a topsy-turvy encounter in the visitors' favour after they had overturned Aleksandar Trajkovski's early opener to lead 2-1 thanks to goals from Dieumerci Mbokani and substitute Oleksandr Yakovenko.
Substitute Jens Naessens looked to have earned the fifth-placed hosts a share of the spoils when he equalised in the 64th minute, but De Sutter had the last word to lift Anderlecht within a point of Club Brugge. The leaders host bottom-of-the-table Cercle Brugge tomorrow.
Elsewhere, Beerschot AC moved up to fourth place courtesy of a 2-1 home triumph over nine-man KV Kortrijk, Hernan Losada's 74th-minute penalty proving decisive.
Frederic Brilliant had given the hosts a 10th-minute lead only to be pegged back by Brecht Dejaeghere's equaliser just after the hour mark, but the visitors then had Landry Mulemo and substitute Blanstel Koussalouka sent off either side of the spot-kick winner.
Boubacar Dialiba scored on the stroke of half-time and again five minutes after the interval to set KV Mechelen on their way to three points against Mons, with Robin Henkens' 59th-minute strike sealing a 3-0 success.
Mons' miserable evening was complete midway through the second half when Benjamin Nicaise was given his marching orders as Mechelen advanced to sixth spot.
OH Leuven twice came from behind to snatch a 2-2 draw at seventh-placed Lokeren.
The game was goalless until just before the hour mark, when Benjamin Mokulu broke the deadlock for the hosts only for Wim Raymaekers to restore parity.
Substitute Milos Maric looked to have won it for Lokeren when he netted in the 82nd minute - within a minute of his introduction - but Karel Geraerts grabbed a second equaliser for Leuven two minutes from time.
Finally, Barak Badash's 87th-minute equaliser secured second-bottom Waasland-Beveren a 1-1 home draw against Lierse, who had taken a 23rd-minute lead through Ahmed Saied's penalty.
Greek Superleague
PAOK Salonika and Asteras Tripoli picked up victories on Saturday to earn a share of the Greek Superleague lead as early pace-setters Panionios saw their 100% start emphatically ended at Levadiakos.
PAOK triumphed 3-0 at FC Xanthi, Stefanos Athanasiadis putting the visitors ahead from the penalty spot after 10 minutes with second-half goals from Bertrand Robert and Costin Lazar sealing the win.
Asteras edged Platanias 2-1 thanks to strikes either side of the interval from Ruben Rayo and Emanuel Perrone. Chigozie Udoji halved the deficit 19 minutes from time but Platanias could not find an equaliser.
The pair joined Olympiacos, who face Panthrakikos on Sunday, and Panionios on nine points at the summit.
Panionios had won their first three games but came unstuck at Levadiakos, Stelios Vasiliou's early brace setting the hosts on their way and Giorgos Zisopoulos wrapping up their first victory of the season with a third goal with less than 17 minutes on the clock.
Turkish Super Lig
Besiktas missed the chance to go top of the Super Lig after falling to a last-gasp defeat at Gaziantepspor.
The away side twice led through Olcay Sahan (15) and Hugo Almeida (67), with Ismael Sosa (49) and Cenk Tosun's 76th-minute penalty drawing Gaziantepspor level.
And the home side then snatched all three points in the last minute through Orhan Gulle to leave Besiktas fourth in the table, two points behind leaders Galatasaray.
Orduspor could also have gone top with a win, but they at least claimed a point at 10-man Istanbul Buyuksehir.
The home side had Ekrem Eksioglu sent off after just 21 minutes but took the lead on the hour through Pierre Webo, only for Bogdan Stancu to equalise just two minutes later.
At the other end of the table, Kayserispor picked up their first win of the season with a 3-2 victory over Eskisehirspor.
Deivson Bobo scored twice in the opening 35 minutes but saw the visitors level through Necati Ates (45) and Rodrigo Tello (64) before Pablo Mouche grabbed the winner four minutes from time.
In the day's final game, Mersin Idmanyurdu and Genclerbirligi drew 1-1 with Mert Marcio Nobre's second-half equaliser cancelling out Ante Kulusic's opener for Genclerbirligi on the stroke of half-time.
Swiss Super League
Grasshoppers moved to the summit of the Super League standings with a narrow 1-0 win at FC Zurich.
Steven Zuber scored the only goal in the 54th minute as Grasshoppers moved onto 20 points with their sixth win in nine games.
Grasshoppers replace St Gallen at the top of the pile, with the former leaders not in action until on Sunday.
FC Sion slotted into second place, a point behind Grasshoppers, after a 2-1 win at home to FC Thun.
Leo Itaperuna netted in the 14th and 61st minutes for the victors, with Anat Ngamukol's 42nd-minute strike in vain for Thun, who stay in sixth.
Danish Superliga
FC Nordsjaelland failed to make the most of their chance to close in on the Superliga leaders as they played out a 1-1 draw with Randers.
Joshua John fired the defending champions in front after 32 minutes but Ronnie Schwartz replied for Randers before half-time.
Nordsjaelland remain third in the table, five points adrift of leaders FC Copenhagen and three points better off than their opponents.

Dr. McDonnell is with Radiology Associates in Corpus Christi, TX.
The rapid development of new percutaneous techniques for the treatment of peripheral vascular disease continues to expand the role of the interventional radiologist. The advent of balloon-expandable and self-expanding stents and the development of percutaneously placed stent-grafts has altered the more classical, primarily surgical treatment modalities and will continue to do so. The role of angioplasty (PTA), the utilization of directional atherectomy devices, and the use of stents and stent -grafts will herein be reviewed in regard to their utilization for the treatment of peripheral vascular disease in the femoral and popliteal arteries.
Angioplasty of occlusive lesions within the femoral and popliteal arteries often is utilized when patients present with life-style limiting claudication, rest pain, or now-healing lower extremity ulcers, and also is used as an adjunct to increase blood flow, aiding in healing of wounds following surgery (primarily from amputations). Factors that influence the initial angioplasty outcome and the patency rate at follow-up exam include certain lesion characteristics and the quality of the distal run-off arteries.
Positive predictors of initial and long-term patency include short, segmental lesions (of less than 3 cm) which do not involve the superficial femoral artery (SFA) origin or the popliteal trifurcation; the presence of at least two run-off vessels; performing the procedure for claudication symptoms rather than rest pain or limb salvage; and a good immediate angiographic result with palpable distal pulses.
Negative predictors of continued patency include those procedures performed for limb salvage, one or no distal run-off vessels, or the presence of long segmental stenoses or calcified eccentric lesions, as well as diffuse cardiovascular disease (i.e. diabetes).
Suboptimal results related to technical factors, such as residual thrombotic material, residual stenosis greater than 30%, and focal dissection after angioplasty, also can adversely affect the clinical outcome.
The initial success of angioplasty of short segmental lesions of less than 2 cm with two vessel run-off is approximately 83 to 98%. The one-year primary patency rate is reported to be between 60 and 80%; however, this falls dramatically at 5 years, with patency rates of 40 to 60%.
Similar results are seen in lesions treated with surgical bypass procedures, where there is an initial success rate of approximately 100% and a 5-year patency rate
of between 50 and 70%.
Additionally, the utilization of balloon angioplasty in longer stenoses or occlusions yields significantly lower primary and secondary patency results.
Procedural complications related to percutaneous balloon angioplasty occur in approximately 5 to 10% of cases.
These are most commonly groin related (hematomas); however, dissections related to guidewire manipulations, vessel perforations, distal embolization, pseudoaneursyms, and acute thrombosis are recognized complications. Meticulous attention to detail and operator experience in performing these procedures should reduce the complication rate.
Within the armamentarium for treatment of infrainguinal stenosis or occlusions are the peripheral atherectomy devices, the most commonly utilized device being the Simpson Atherocath (Mallinckrodt Med. STZ, MO). Atherectomy devices mechanically remove plaque from the wall of diseased vessels, in either an extirpative or ablative fashion.
Indications for the use of these devices include focal, eccentric, or calcified plaque that fails to respond to balloon angioplasty; post-angioplasty flow-limiting intimal flaps; intimal hyperplasia in graft anastomoses that fails to respond
to balloon angioplasty (including dialysis fistulas); hyperplasia following PTA;
and for "valvectomy" in "in-situ" venous grafts that fail balloon angioplasty.
Atherectomy at anastomoses have been particularly successful, yielding an initial 100% technical success rate and a 2- to
3-year patency rate of 79%.
Utilization of an atherectomy device requires an antegrade access and placement through a vascular sheath. The Simpson Atherocath is designed with either a fixed tip guidewire or can be placed over an .018" wire. As with angioplasty, appropriate location within the lesion is essential. At the appropriate position, the support balloon is inflated to oppose the cutting chamber against the lesion. The rotating blade is then advanced through the cutting chamber. The debris is collected in the cutting chamber, and the catheter can then be rotated for additional cuts.
Disadvantages of this device include the need for antegrade access, which can be difficult in obese patients and may preclude its use in treatment of nearby common femoral and proximal SFA lesions.
High cost, prolonged procedure time, and larger arterotomy sites cause a relatively high incidence of complications. Most of these complications are groin related (hematomas); however, they may include pseudoaneursyms, distal embolizations, vessel dissection, and acute thrombosis.
In regard to initial and long-term patency rates for focal, segmentally treated SFA and popliteal lesions, numerous studies have demonstrated that atherectomy does not result in better long-term patency than does balloon angioplasty. As an example, Vroegindeweij et al demonstrated that atherectomy does
not provide clinical or hemodynamic improvement in comparison with angioplasty at 2- or 3-year follow-up (at 2 years: 52% vs 87%, at 3 years: 34% vs 56%). In addition, they compared angioplasty with atherectomy in a prospective trial and concluded similar angiographic and clinical results.
From the above, it is apparent that atherectomy should not replace balloon angioplasty in infrainguinal stenosis.
The advent of balloon-expandable stents and the widespread use of these devices in the iliac arteries for the treatment of stenosis and occlusion is well documented; however, their use in the femoral and popliteal system has been less successful. Primary and secondary patency rates vary widely from study to study, and there are many additional factors which contribute to the initial success of the procedure.
The primary treatment of isolated segmental stenosis within the superficial femoral and the popliteal arteries continues to be percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. The use of stents within these vessels often is performed to improve the immediate results of PTA, in particular to prevent immediate technical failures.
Despite the initial high rate of technical success with stents, results have been discouraging regarding long-term patency (restenosis remains a significant problem).
Nevertheless, stenting of the femoropopliteal vessels is performed by some interventionalists for residual stenosis after angioplasty, in acute occlusion or thrombosis, post PTA flow-limiting dissections, in calcified lesions not responsive to angioplasty, and in those cases where stenting of an obstructing lesion may increase inflow in an attempt at limb salvage.
Regarding the initial and long-term success of stent placement, publicized results have been inconsistent and, at times, conflicting. However, it is apparent that focal stenosis (of less than 4 cm) treated with short stents demonstrated longer primary and secondary patency than longer lesions (the 2-year primary patency rate for stents of less than 4 cm is approximately 60%, while it is approximately 30% for longer lesions).
Also, stenotic lesions have demonstrated better primary and secondary patency than lesions of an occlusive nature (the 2-year patency for stenosis is approximately 73% vs 33% for occlusions).
In regard to the efficacy of primary stenting of lesions within the SFA and popliteal vessels versus angioplasty, it is apparent that stent placement does not improve the clinical or hemodynamic outcome.
As an example, a prospective study of primary stenting versus balloon angioplasty demonstrated that the primary patency rate at 1 year was slightly less for the stented group (approximately 63% for the stented group and 74% for the angioplasty group).
As described above, there are certain factors which influence the patency of stented infrainguinal vessels. These include the length of the stenosis, whether the area stented is a stenosis or an occlusion, the number of stents utilized (use of a greater number of stents has a much lower primary patency), and the existence of comorbid processes, such as diabetes mellitus and diffuse peripheral vascular disease.
As with angioplasty, the presence of two vessel runoff greatly influences the primary patency rate. Smoking negatively influences the outcome of the procedure, as does small vessel diameter.
Additionally, the placement of stents across joints is often associated with a poor result secondary to compression.
The incidence of complications with PTA and stent placement is relatively low and there is a high initial success rate. Groin complications are the most common and include hematomas and pseudoaneurysms. Acute thrombosis, pain, sepsis, vessel rupture, and stent compression also are recognized complications. Dissections may occur and may require stent placement if they are flow-limiting.
The most recent tool under investigation for treatment of infrainguinal occlusive disease is the stent graft. As of this date, stent grafts have been utilized primarily in the aorta and iliac vessels; however, this has been expanded to the infrainguinal region for the treatment of claudication and limb threatening ischemia.
These conduits have been utilized in long segmental occlusive disease, complex lesions unlikely to be successfully treated with other endovascular techniques, for the exclusion of aneurysms, and as an alternative to uncovered stents for failure of primary angioplasty.
A variety of devices are under investigation, but most utilize a self-expanding metallic stent covered with a synthetic graft material. It is postulated that lining the stent with a synthetic graft material reduces the incidence of restenosis and excludes thrombus and/or plaque from the lumen.
Numerous studies are now being performed to evaluate the patency rate of covered versus non-covered stents. The initial results of patency have varied; however, this technique of percutaneous endovascular repair appears feasible.
In a study of endovascular grafting of SFA stenosis, occlusions, complex lesions, and angioplasty failures, the initial success rate was nearly 100%, with a primary patency of 72% and a secondary patency of nearly 84%.
The mean length of these lesions was approximately 20 cm. In another study, the stent graft system was used in patients with similar or shorter lesions and demonstrated 6-month to 1-year primary patencies ranging from 59 to 70%, with secondary patencies from 70 to 85%. In each study, the initial technical success rate was nearly 100%.
As attested to by the above, the stent graft system is technically highly successful; however, additional clinical trials are necessary to evaluate their clinical utility.
The incidence of complications occurring during stent graft placement within the femoral and popliteal system is relatively high. However, refinement of the techniques and continued user experience will undoubtedly reduce their occurrence. The most common complications are hematomas and pseudoaneurysms. Technical problems occasionally require conversion to a femoral bypass procedure. Distal embolization, acute graft occlusion/
thrombosis requiring lytic therapy, perigraft leak, and distal dissections related to guidewire manipulations also occur infrequently. The operative mortality is low.
The percutaneous treatment of vascular disease has expanded the role of the interventional radiologist. The utilization of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in short focal lesions of the superficial femoral arteries has both short- and long-term patency rates approaching those of classical surgical bypass procedures.
Atherectomy devices, of which there are many, have slightly lower primary patencies and have a higher incidence of complications. Therefore, it should not replace angioplasty as the initial percutaneous treatment modality for infrainguinal lesions. Atherectomy is, however, effective in the treatment of graft intimal hyperplasia and eccentric calcified stenosis when balloon angioplasty has failed, or for treating post-angioplasty dissection flaps.
Primary stenting of SFA lesions does not improve the clinical or hemodynamic outcome in comparison with balloon angioplasty,
and probably results in a slightly lower primary and secondary patency rate.
However, stents are effective in the treatment of suboptimal angioplasty results, including residual stenosis, flow-limiting dissections, and calcified lesions that fail to respond to balloon angioplasty.
Finally, the use of covered stents for a variety of SFA lesions is an attractive idea with the potential to further expand endovascular therapy. Early results attest to its feasibility; however, additional clinical trials are necessary to define its role in the percutaneous management of femoral lesions.
