Open 10am to 3pm on 2/1, Super Bowl Sunday.
Go Seahawks!
Stay updated on book news, store happenings, and our quirky tastes by subscribing to our eNewsletter, and catch up on what you've missed by reading our back issues.
When the Seahawks made it to the Super Bowl last year, we played it a little cute, talking on the blog about what a stretch it was for a highfalutin', highbrow outfit like ours to be interested in sportsball. You saw right through that pretense, of course ....
In their honor, but even more in honor of you, the all-important 12th-Man fans, we're doing this year what we did last time around. This Sunday, February 1st, we'll be keeping special holiday hours by opening from 10am to 3pm. Even better, everything in the store will be discounted 12%. That includes football-related books to read during halftime, but also all of our non-sports items ... continued
I ran across a couple of sentences the other day that struck a chord:
All that needs to be said has already been said. But since no one was listening, everything must be said again. —André Gide (1869-1951)
All that needs to be said has already been said. But since no one was listening, everything must be said again.
—André Gide (1869-1951)
This wasn't something I found myself, but something Nancy Pearl shared on social media. Speaking of that esteemed advocate of the written word, she'll be appearing at the Mercer Island Community Center on Wednesday, January 28th to speak on the topic of "The Pleasures and Perils of a Life of Reading." The event is a fundraiser for the University of Washington's Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, and Island Books will be there to sell some great books, Nancy's own and the ones she recommends most highly.
Anyway, it's a catchy little quote, isn't it? The reason it registered so strongly with me was that it perfectly encapsulates something I'd been trying to say at much greater length ... continued
As sure as the sun follows rain, the publication of our Best Books of the Year list is followed by the publication of our Wait Wait Don't Forget About These Other Great Books list. There are too many titles for one post to contain them all, so we've broken the WWDFATOGB announcement into two parts. We covered fiction previously, and now, before we say goodbye to 2014 forever, we're pleased to share with you our (near-)favorite nonfiction books of the year .... continued
There are many reasons I enjoy my job at Island Books. The financial advantages (staff discount and free advance copies), social perks (my colleagues are even more amusing behind the scenes), and bragging rights (I do indeed work for that magical bookstore) are just a few of the more obvious incentives.
But sometimes, it's the small things I particularly relish. There's one ritual that has become both increasingly challenging and a source of immense pleasure. Those of you who read our eNewsletter may have noticed we always have a quote about books or reading as the header. (If you aren't receiving our monthly eNewsletter by email, you can sign up here.) We've been sending them since the end of 2011, so this has been going on for quite some time. While occasionally I wonder if we've used up all the good quotes to be had, each month a new gem presents itself. Fortunately authors, celebrities, publishers, and other great minds talk about reading and books everywhere, all the time.
Before I spend some time browsing for a good zinger to use in the February eNewsletter, I thought it might be fun to assemble a quote pile of what we've used in the past. It'll keep me from repeating myself, and hopefully inspire us all to pick up a good book and start the new year off right. And if you have a favorite quote to add, don't hesitate to share it. We might just put it in the eNewsletter....continued
(Our store journal keeps you posted on books we're excited about, our literary musings, and other reading-related rambles. If you like, you can sign up to receive our posts by email.)
Authors in our region may just be getting over their New Year's hangovers, but several of them will want to break out the champagne again anyway. Why? Because the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association has just handed out its annual awards. These literary prizes are perhaps the closest to our hearts, as they're the product of Independent bookstores like us all across Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and Alaska. We member stores get to nominate our favorite books by Northwest writers, and the judges take it from there. We're always happy to see the results, but this year even more so than most. Half of the winners were on our own list of the best books of the year, and the group as a whole makes our region look extremely impressive to the nation at large.
The most inevitable choice had to be All the Light We Cannot See. That novel, by Boise's Anthony Doerr, was the hands-down phenomenon of 2014 ... continued
New Year's Eve makes some notable appearances in literature. It's hard to miss the symbolism of this holiday, a perfect literary device for either a grand opening or a dramatic finish. As we get ready to bring our own year to a close, let's look at a few ways the holiday has made a memorable appearance in fiction.
For a creepy New Year's, how about the party in Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin? Those eccentric neighbors, the Castavets, host a celebration and declare it "Year One." Rosemary doesn't know what that means, but readers are getting the idea that it's something very, very bad. She doesn't know she's carrying the son of Satan, but others do….continued
Our newsletter subscribers (and drop-in customers who've seen the titles posted in the store) know that we recently published our Best of 2014 lists. Another year, another exercise mixing joy and frustration. The joy, of course, stems from being able to introduce you to a double handful of our favorite books; the frustration comes from having to cross out the names of so many deserving writers. But unlike Santa, we don't keep track of Naughty and Nice. While some authors get the gift of appearing on our official Best of lists, the others don't get coal in their stockings. Instead, a bunch of them get to appear here, on our traditional survey of the Ones That Almost Made It....continued
Once finding the perfect gifts are checked off your list, the big holiday activities left to do are in the kitchen. If you have a sweet tooth even half as bad as mine, that means it's time for some serious baking. 2014 was a good year for cookbooks, especially when dessert is the task at hand.
Whether you're hosting a big family gathering, a holiday work party, or just eating Chinese food and going to the movies this month, I guarantee you can make it a memorable December with just one of the recipes from these master chefs. I warn you though, if you're on a diet the scrumptious pictures will make you crazy....continued
We don't often encourage you to watch something rather than read, but we're doing it now. In the end, of course, the thing we want you to watch is going to encourage you to read. And encourage you to encourage others to do the same. Let's let Roger tell you about it:
A natural, isn't he? He should be—he's been hawking books for more than thirty years, after all ... continued
The pressures of giving the perfect gift are in full force now, and we're cheering you on. With limited time on the clock, we often see people grab something, anything, just to cross off one more thing on the list. If you want to put some extra thought into your gifts but haven't enlisted our in-store help yet (and we are here and at the ready), maybe a quick glance at some of our best reading lists from 2014 will help.
Our obvious gift-giving lists came out this week; those general but oh-so-surefire favorites of the year. If you didn't see our December newsletter, click here to browse our best of fiction, nonfiction, children's, and teens. It's also very worth your while to browse our extensive gift selection. But if it's something quirkier or more specific you desire, spend a few minutes with some of our suggestions from the past year....continued
There are no products in your shopping cart.
We've been selling books here on the Island since 1973 and truly believe our store has a welcoming atmosphere— one that leads to the kind of conversation, sharing, and chance encounter that is at the heart of our idea of community.
If you can't visit, drop by our website. You can check out what we're reading and raving about, link to our Facebook page, Twitter, or our blog, and order books to be picked up at the store or mailed to your home.
We look forward to staying in touch,

A NICU Billing Notebook
Today, I invented a Hospital Billing Organizer Notebook that I think is the bees knees.
Supplies needed: three ring notebook, three ring hole punch, blank notebook paper, giant stack o' hospital bills, and a grouchy newborn. (Nothing counts in the Catholic life unless you can do with added penance. A grouchy newborns equal instant penance on any home-making task).
Take your giant stack of NICU medical bills and Insurance Statements. Throw away any duplicates. Order the actual medical bills in the front. Write notes in pencil on the bill itself (such as paid, or waiting for balance billing). Hole punch them and put them in chronological order in your notebook.
Then take your Explanation of Benefits (EOB) forms. Hole punch them and lay them in chronological order. Take a second to read the obscure billing notes on the side. Circle any notes that look odd or wrong. Check off the hospital bills that you've already received.
In the third section, save any important looking notices from your insurance company, such as "ambulance transfer approved."
In the front of your notebook, add some blank notebook paper. This is for you to take notes on during telephone conversations with your Insurance provider. Always note the date, time and person's name, if possible.
Today, I learned that if you have a mammoth Out of Pocket amount to be paid, don't pay any bill until you check with your insurance provider first. So far, I've come up with two billing mistakes, and this was only my first 30 minutes on the job.
Meanwhile, I'm currently in the midst of suffering reverse sticker shock. Only $17,000 for her total medical costs at Children's Hospital? $17,000 to save my baby's life? That's the price of a modest car! She's SO worth it! (Hope this gleefulness continues!)
Billing Update Day 2: Ugh! This billing process is going to take months to finish. A $17,000 bill from Children's Hospital was just the beginning. My insurance company got a second bill today from Children's Hospital for $140,000! Who knows how high the tally will be once all the bills are submitted.
(Under our insurance plan, our portion of Tess' medical bills shouldn't be more than $6,000.00. I'm trying to keep calm about repaying that amount. God provides!)
2 comments:
When my daughter was born 28 years ago I spent 3 months (yes you read that correctly, months) in the hospital before her birth due to a placenta previa. Our hospital bill was for $25,000 (today it would easily, easily top more than $100,000 I'm sure). We always called her our $25,000 baby and said she was worth every penny of it. Fortunately, our group insurance policy covered all but $137 of our expenses related to the pregnancy. I'm so sorry you've got a large out of pocket to pay, but I understand your feeling that Tess is worth every penny.
ReplyDeleteFirst find out if your employers' contract is listed as the subscriber (you) is "held harmless." Its vital that you find out this info because most providers (hospitals, docs, radiology, therapists etc) will go ahead & bill insurance & then bill you the difference. If your contract is "held harmless", its fraudulent for them to do that bc they've agreed up front to accept insurance payment as total payment. In 30 yrs, I've never found a provider who volunteers this info...although I'm sure they exist.
Again, get yourself assigned to a case manager at your insurance co. If you're high-dollar, you might've already been assigned. She should be able to help with some of this but you did right by starting a notebook bc no one is as interested in your account as you are.
Additionally, watch for double billing (e.g., charges from hosp & provider for same service). That's easy for them to do when they 'bundle' charges. ALWAYS send bundled charges or blanket invoices (from physician offices esp) back to them with a request for itemization.
If you want, you can email me.

Amy Winehouse - Halftime
Artist: Amy Winehouse
Producer: Salaam Remi
Album: Lioness: Hidden Treasures
Avg Rating: 4.1 ( 16 votes )
Posthumous albums can be complicated affairs. Often the artist never intended the tracks to be released at all, or at least not in that form, so what are fans to do? Are we really honoring a recently departed artist by listening to tracks that are less than their best? Luckily there's been no such complications for Amy Winehouse: be it Our Day Will Come or Like Smoke, everything we've heard from Winehouse following her tragic death has been greeted by nearly unanimously positive reviews. Something tells me that trend will continue with new single Halftime. Long time production partner Salaam Remi keeps things sweet and simple, laying only some soft percussion and keys over an acoustic guitar line, resulting in one of the more neo-soul-esque beats we've ever heard Amy on. Vocally, Winehouse doesn't sing in in the heartbroken style that made her a legend, but it turns out that she can more than match the beat for simple sweetness. Will The Lioness: Hidden Treasures end up on the right side of the posthumous album spectrum when it's released on December 6? So far, thankfully, all signs point to yes.

Mainkreis (Bavaria)
The Mainkreis was one of the 15 districts of the Kingdom of Bavaria between 1806 and 1837 (since 1817 as Obermainkreis). Its name meant in German the "District of the Main" because the Main River ran through it. It was the predecessor of the Regierungsbezirks Oberfranken (Administrative Regional District of Upper Franconia).
Independent Cities[edit]
The district was divided in the following judicial districts (Landgerichte = LG), according to the original borders of the districts of the former territories (Herrschaftsgerichte = HG):
In the years between 1806 and 1808 the Kingdom of Bavaria was divided in 15 (state) districts, whose names were taken from their rivers. The Mainkreis, with Bamberg as its capital, was initially composed of 18 rural divisions and, since 1809, of the independent cities of Bamberg and Schweinfurt. In 1810 it grew significantly with the annexation of the Naabkreis. It was again enlarged when it received 12 rural divisions from the former Principality of Bayreuth. The district's headquarters was then moved to Bayreuth. The Mainkreis was renamed in 1817 Obermainkreis [District of the Upper Main River] and slightly expanded. At the same time, a new district was created with the name of Untermainkreis [District of the Lower Main River]. At the request of King Ludwig I, the Territorial Reorganization (Gebietsreform) of 29 November 1837 was made by separating the Oberpfalz (Upper Palatinate) judicial districts from the former Naabkreis and renaming the shrunken Obermainkreis "Oberfranken" [Upper Franconia].

For Drew Carey Presents the Best of the Midnight Show, the comedian partnered with funny friends to create an edgy mix of sketch and standup. Carey's two nights and four shows in Denver will begin with a series of scenarios and end with a half-hour of standup, or "as long as I can go," Carey jokes. "I will tell you this about The Midnight Show: They're about as edgy as they can get without getting us kicked out of the building." In fact, two club owners have asked the troupe not to show a controversial slide show. "Don't bring your kids," Carey adds.

My knowing a restaurateur is no guarantee that his restaurant will do well in the Best of Denver. Just ask Frank Bonanno. His Mizuna and Luca d'Italia are two of the finest restaurants I've had the pleasure of dining in (over and over and over again), and they got the love this year. But his Milagro Taco Bar got a nod only for its great tortilla soup; the rest of the fare doesn't rank with the town's best Mexican. And Harry's Chop House simply isn't award-worthy yet. I don't like kicking a friend any more than the next guy does, but this is business, okay? My favorite scene in the Godfather movies comes in part II, when Michael takes his brother by the ears, kisses him and tells poor Fredo that he knows everything, that he broke his fucking heart. I love that goddamn scene...
You can kiss Chapter One Bar-B-Que good-bye. It was my pick for Best Ribs until mid-March, when I discovered that Chapter One had suddenly become Chapter Two (with the "two" painted right over the "one" on the sign). And the name wasn't the only change: The barbecue now sucks. Next stop, Chapter 11.
Meanwhile, Buenos Aires Pizzeria has changed for the better. Its Cuban sandwiches earned it this year's Best Taste of Miami -- but when I stopped in to eat those sandwiches, as well as a lot of other stuff, at a celebratory lunch last week, I discovered that my backhanded Best Dinner Destination for Impressing a Blind Date award no longer applies. A few months ago, the dining room of this neighborhood Argentine restaurant was simple and spartan, in no way a match for the wonderful food. But it's since been jazzed up with more art on the walls and feels much more welcoming. Just goes to show, the only thing constant in this city is change.
There was a sad change at another longtime winner: the 20th Street Cafe, this year's Best Cheap Breakfast. Owner Ann Okuno, a fixture at the place, passed away early last week -- but my favorite breakfast bar barely broke stride. The cafe was closed for a day but open again the next, serving the community of regulars who'd come to know Okuno, her husband, Ted, and the whole family during sixty years of business.
Even without Chapter One, Denver has dozens of decent barbecue shacks -- M&D's, Yazoo Barbecue Company, Joe's West of Memphis, the chicharones-style ribs at Sabor Latino, Hog Heaven, Wolfe's, Big Papa's -- but the Bugling Bull is better. Seriously, I almost crashed my car coming back from Sedalia while trying to steer and shove an entire slow-smoked country rib into my mouth at the same time. Get down there and try the Bull for yourself. I think you'll agree.
The opening of Sushi Sasa last summer upped the ante for sushi in this town, too, suddenly making it clear that a lot of Denver's sushi restaurants have been getting something of a free ride. While the remodeled Japon, Fontana Sushi, Sushi Tazu and, surprisingly, Hapa Sushi in Cherry Creek all turned in stellar efforts this year, none were quite stellar enough to make the cut. Remember, it's called the Best of Denver for a reason -- not Second-Best of Denver or Almost-But-Not-Quite-Best of Denver. And though Tazu has a great bar and Japon does great sushi, neither are the best this year. Between Sushi Sasa and Sushi Den, this is a tough category, and competition is fierce. As a matter of fact, I was at Japon not long ago eating maki and miso, stuffing myself with fish eggs and having a wonderful time. But why was I there? Because I couldn't get a table at Sushi Sasa.
In the same vein, Kim Ba took the award for Best Vietnamese because second place was a thirty-way tie between all those other good Vietnamese joints in town except for Parallel Seventeen, which walked away with the award for Best Nouvelle Vietnamese. Le Central (which I love for reasons too numerous to list here, some of which were included in the Best of 2006) is a great French restaurant, but Z Cuisine is better. So good, in fact, that it was an easy choice for Best New Restaurant.

"Police officer who blew the whistle on fellow officers accused of making inappropriate comments about harming President Obama & the First Lady was fired from Richmond PD."
ŌĆ£ThereŌĆÖs no question that this will have a chilling effect upon other members of the police force who will be afraid if they speak out about a matter of public concern.┬Ā They too may lose their job,ŌĆØ said Roberts.┬Ā And that makes it a matter that should concern each and every citizen.ŌĆØ
The whistleblower told CBS 6 last year that the inappropriate comments were made by a 20-year police veteran who was talking on the phone to an officer assigned to provide outside security for the president and first lady. The whistleblower reported that the veteran suggested the officer ŌĆ£take a couple of shots . . .ŌĆØ and that another voice in the background talked about planting a bomb under the stage.

I've got a lot of bullet connectors, but would prefer the peace of mind that comes with a direct solder connection.
Fair enough, I will wire 2 motors and ESCs one way and the other 2 the opposite way. Silly me, I thought rotation was controlled by the KK Board I appreciate your inpout arkcom, thanks a lot for that. |

Wiring the motors are easy.
for two motors do: A - BLACK B - WHITE C - RED for the other two motors do: A - RED B - WHITE C - BLACK Two will rotate in one direction, the other two will rotate the opposite direction. This is required for a quadcopter. All 4 ESC's will be powered by the same Positive cable and same negative cable comming off your battery. These are the only wires that need to goto your battery. The ESC's will supply 5v to your KK2 board. The KK2 board will send 5v to your Reciever. The KK2 board has no idea, nor does it care what direction your motors spin. Just make sure your props are installed correctly and the KK board does the rest. |

Try and find a friend close by that is flying quadcopters already, take your gear to him and have him help you with the set up. Its ok to be helped with your first build, just gain the skills necessary from the help of a friend, then build one later on by yourself.
My first quad was a very bare essentials quad that i bought ready to fly off a mate, the next quad i built is the one i have now which was a huge jump up to. I was flying a Hobbyking original KK board, with some motors i dont even know the name or Kv of!! The ESC's were all plush 18amp so ive moved them onto my current quad which is a DJI F450 with a Naza FC and GPS unit controlling some 3536 910kv motors and 10x4.7 carbon fibre props. My mate at the moment is where you seem to be in the quad hobby, and i am helping him build his first so he gets the necessary info and know-how to build his next quad on his own. Its so much more satisfying flying something that you know you have built on your own, but only in due time. Its better to be coached through your first build than to be confused through it and end up either giving up or breaking stuff!! |

US 7922770 B2 Abstract The invention presents a total knee arthroplasty endoprosthesis having: a) a femoral component with a lower-radius lateral condyle, a larger-radius medial condyle and between them, a third condyle located posteriorly, superiorly and nearest the medial side, b) a tibial component with a central protruding spigot for the rotating polyethylene insert, and c) a rotating polyethylene insert, with three cavities for articulation of the femoral condyles. For initial and moderate flexion the joint functions with load bearing onto the lateral and medial articular cavities, and in advanced and final flexion with load bearing on the third articular cavity. The advantages of this endoprosthesis are enhanced maximum flexion, improved femoral axis alignment, significant posterior stabilization, favourable accommodation of tibial rotation with consequent relief of materials and fixations, and preservation of more articular fluid for lubrication and reduction of polyethylene wear.
Claims(3) 1. A total knee arthroplasty endoprosthesis comprising:
a metallic femoral component including a spherical lateral condyle surface and a spherical medial condyle surface, the lateral condyle surface having a smaller radius than the medial condyle surface;
a third condyle located between, posterior, and superior the medial condyle surface and the lateral condyle surface, and offset on the metallic femoral component in a direction of the medial condyle surface;
a metallic tibial component including a central spigot; and
a polyethylene insert including a bore that engages the central spigot, the polyethylene insert being rotatable about the central spigot of the metallic tibial component, the polyethylene insert having a medial cavity in conformity with a shape of the medial condyle surface and a lateral cavity in conformity with a shape of the lateral condyle surface, wherein the medial and lateral cavities are asymmetrical but equally deep, the polyethylene insert further comprises a third cavity in conformity with a shape of the third condyle, and located between, inferior, and posterior the medial cavity and the lateral cavity, and offset on the polyethylene insert in a direction of the medial cavity;
wherein the medial and lateral condyle surfaces respectively engage the medial and lateral cavities at a medial bearing surface and a lateral bearing surface such as to be adapted to impose a geometrical relationship between an anatomic femoral axis and an anatomic tibial axis that approaches a physiological valgus of a knee joint;
wherein at an advanced stage of flexion between the femoral component and the tibial component, the third condyle engages the third cavity at a central bearing surface that replaces the medial bearing surface and the lateral bearing surface, the central bearing surface being larger than either of the medial or lateral bearing surfaces;
wherein the offset of the third condyle towards the medial condyle, assists rotation of the polyethylene insert with respect to the metallic tibial component about an axis defined by the bore and central spigot;
wherein the central spigot of the metallic tibial component and the bore of the polyethylene insert are aliened on a mid-sagital plane of the total knee arthroplasty endoprosthesis wherein the third condyle is medially offset from the axis defined by the bore and central spigot, wherein the engagement of the central spigot with the bore prevents translational movement of the polyethylene insert, while permitting only rotational movement of the polyethylene insert about the axis defined by the bore and central spigot.

Description This application is the U.S. national stage application of International Application No. PCT/GR2007/000018, filed Mar. 16, 2007, which International Application was published on Oct. 18, 2007, as International Publication No. WO 2007/116232 A1 in the English language. The International Application claims priority of Greek Patent Application No. 20060100216, filed Apr. 7, 2006. The invention described herein is an endoprosthesis for total knee arthroplasty (TKA), the surgical technique meant to reconstruct and rehabilitate the painful and deformed knee joint. The motion of the normal knee joint is a continuous combination of rolling, sliding and rotation, valgus-varus angular displacement of the femoral condyles on the tibial articular surface and the menisci, which collectively is referred to as flexion-extension. These complex motion components take place in three dimensions and always in a varying combination, and are controlled by the shape of the articular surfaces, the articular capsule, the menisci and the ligaments. Longterm and good quality function of a TKA endoprosthesis is influenced by and depends upon the manner adopted by the implant design to solve the following interrelated problems: the wear of materials, the fixation of the endoprosthesis and the satisfactory joint motion. The femoral component of a TKA endoprosthesis resembles the distal part of the human femur and is either metallic or ceramic. The tibial component of a TKA endoprosthesis is metallic, having a flat upper surface and possessing at least one stem on the lower surface for fixation onto the tibial bone. Between the femoral and tibial components another one is inserted: the polyethylene insert, which may be either fixed or mobile on the flat upper surface of the tibial component. When the polyethylene insert is mobile, its motion is controlled by spigots protruding from the upper surface of the tibial component and corresponding recesses on the lower surface of the polyethylene insert, or vice versa. This control system may allow rotation or also simultaneously anteroposterior translation. During TKA surgery, the articular cartilage and the subchondral bone are removed from the distal femur and the proximal tibia. Using appropriate instrumentation, these anatomical areas are contoured in order to allow the exact fitting of the endoprosthetic components, with or without use of acrylic resin cement. The anterior cruciate ligament is most of the times removed, while the posterior cruciate ligament is either preserved or sacrificed and substituted by functional characteristics of the implants. Special surgical attention is being paid in the preservation of the collateral ligaments of the knee and the symmetry of the ligamentous tensions developed during joint motion. From the above description, it can be appreciated that with a given competent surgical technique, the longterm good quality function of a TKA endoprosthesis lies with the correct design of its individual components; this latter condition being perceived in a particular biomechanical sense reflecting the kinematic compatibility between the pre-existing musculoskeletal flexion-extension mechanism of the patient and the corresponding mechanism to which the individual components obey by-design. Successive design generations attempted to fulfil the above condition, initially using fixed polyethylene inserts and later on mobile ones; the latter introduced in order to better address the issue of material wear and longevity. Mobile polyethylene inserts in particular, were introduced based on the rationale that, while the endoprosthesis should have the required congruent articular surfaces within the full range of joint motion and independently from the tibial rotation with respect to the femur, on the other hand it (the endoprosthesis) should direct a large amount of the developed loading towards the surrounding soft tissues (capsule, ligaments, tendons-muscles), thus protecting the polyethylene as well as the fixation of the implants onto the bones. Today, when correctly implanted, all commercially available TKA endoprostheses generally demonstrate good clinical results, with a survival percentage of 95% at ten years from surgery. However, all commercially available TKA endoprostheses present today the following disadvantages: a) They demonstrate limited maximum flexion angle (ranging between 115 to 127 degrees), which is not compatible with activities of younger patients as well as with daily activities of populations needing to flex their knee joints above 150 degrees, and b) When driven to higher knee flexion angles, they present an extremely reduced area of load bearing articular surface between polyethylene and femoral condyles, which results in faster material wear and loss of implants fixation onto the bones. The invention described herein is an endoprosthesis for total knee arthroplasty (TKA), with which the above disadvantages are addressed and which consists of: a metallic femoral component, a metallic tibial component and a mobile polyethylene insert. Drawing Drawing Drawing Drawing Drawing Drawing The posterior and anterior isometric views of the invented TKA endoprosthesis are exhibited in drawings 1 and 2 respectively, for a left knee joint: The femoral component (1) of the endoprosthesis possesses two asymmetric femoral condyles which are sections of spheres: the lateral condyle (2) with a smaller radius and the medial condyle (3) with a larger radius. Between these two condyles, the femoral component possesses a third spherical or elliptical condyle (5), which with respect to the other two is located more posteriorly, superiorly and nearest the medial condyle (i.e. located towards the medial side). For the purpose of patella sliding and adequate function of the extension mechanism, the anterior aspect of the femoral component possesses a concave groove (4) running along a direction from proximally-lateral to distally-medial, and which gradually from proximally to distally becomes broader and shallower. The tibial component (6) possesses a flat upper surface and a protruding rotation spigot (7) located at its centre. On the lower surface of the tibial component there is a system of stems for fixation on the tibial bone. The polyethylene insert (8) follows the morphology of the three condyles of the femoral component (1), in order to serve their articulation during the various stages throughout the full flexion range of the knee joint. For the articulation of the asymmetric lateral (2) and medial (3) femoral condyles, on its upper surface this component possesses two respectively asymmetric but equally deep cavities, one laterally (9) and one medially (10). Furthermore, for the articulation of the third femoral condyle (5), this component possesses the central cavity (11) which, due to its location, engages the condyle (5) at an advanced and final stage of flexion, when this condyle besides acting as an axis of flexion and rotation, also acts as a posterior stabilizer. In the centre of its lower surface, the polyethylene insert (8) has an appropriate bore (12) in order to be fitted on the rotation spigot (7) which lies on the tibial component (6). The imaginary axis of rotation for the polyethylene insert lies therefore on the mid-sagittal plane of the endoprosthesis and consequently laterally to the third condyle (5). Drawings 3, 4, 5 and 6 describe the function of the invented TKA endoprosthesis, showing sagittal sections on the lateral condyle (2) and of the third condyle (5), for the various stages of flexion: Drawing 3 describes the joint at the initial full extension (i.e. zero degrees of flexion). Drawing 4 describes the joint at a stage representative of initial and moderate flexion (i.e. a flexion range including the angle of 40 degrees encountered during the stance phase of gait, the angle of 70 degrees encountered during the swing phase of gait and until approximately 100 degrees). Drawing 5 describes the joint at a stage representative of rather advanced flexion (i.e. a flexion range above 100 degrees). Drawing 6 describes the joint at a stage representative of final flexion (i.e. a flexion range up to 160 degrees, for various other activities beyond gait). After TKA surgery and with the patient finally in an active load bearing postoperative condition, the invented endoprosthesis will function according to two fundamental ways, as follows: a) From full extension (drawing 3) and for initial and moderate flexion (drawing 4), the function is based on the articulation between the congruent load-bearing articular surfaces of the polyethylene insert and the corresponding surfaces of the femoral condyles, that is between the cavities (9) and (10) on one hand and the lateral (2) and medial (3) femoral condyles on the other.
During the above functional configurations and besides the significantly increased range of maximum flexion, the function of the invented TKA endoprosthesis demonstrates the following additional advantages: a) At any stage throughout the whole flexion range, the asymmetrical femoral condyles, namely the lower radius lateral condyle (2) and the larger radius medial condyle (3), impose between the anatomical femoral and tibial axes a geometrical relationship which approaches the physiological valgus of the knee joint.
The invented TKA endoprosthesis reported herein addresses the disadvantages demonstrated by the commercially available TKA endoprostheses, as it fulfils the biomechanical prerequisites which are necessary for an unconstrained full flexion of the joint with simultaneous protection of the polyethylene insert from loads born by articular surfaces of limited area. These characteristics have a beneficial effect in ensuring adequate joint functionality even in very high flexion angles and in protecting the polyethylene, which to a large extent defines the biological and mechanical stability and longevity of the arthroplasty.

KUALA LUMPUR: Pakistani Kashif Ali (pic) has finally found his niche in the Malaysia Hockey League (MHL) with Sapura.
For three years, Kashif played for Nur Insafi without making any impact. This season, he joined Sapura and it proved to be a good move.
He has scored nine goals – all through penalty corners – in eight matches and is ready to challenge local star Faizal Saari of Tenaga Nasional for the top scorer award. Faizal leads the chart with 11 goals. KLHC's Akhtar Ali and Mohamed Imran are also in the mix with eight and seven goals respectively.
Kashif, 25, is Sapura's main penalty corner executioner and he is happy with the role.
"At Nur Insafi, I was only their second flicker and had limited goalscoring chances. This time, I'm the main flicker and it has boosted my confidence especially when I am able to get the goals," said Kashif.
Despite Kashif getting into a free-scoring mood, Sapura are placed fifth in the seven-team table.
Kashif believes that they are much better than the placing suggests.
"We didn't play well in some matches and that hurt us. But overall we have a good set of players and I feel all of them have worked hard over the last eight matches," he added.
Kashif has 50 international caps with the Pakistan team. He last played for the national team in the 2010 Sultan Azlan Shah Cup in Ipoh.
But he is expected to be back in the team this year.
"Pakistan coach Hanif Khan recently gave me a call. I won't know until next month when the training squad is announced. But I am hoping to be among the call-ups," said Kashif.
Kashif is a former national junior with the Pakistan team and played in the 2009 Junior World Cup which was co-hosted by Malaysia and Singapore.
At senior level, he has featured for Pakistan in the Champions Trophy, Asia Cup and Sultan Azlan Shah Cup.
Kashif also plays for Pakistan Airlines (PIA) in the Pakistani League. He scored a hat-trick in the final last year to power PIA to the league crown. He also won the top scorer award.
"It will be a bonus to be a top scorer here after winning it in Pakistan last year. Besides Malaysia, I have also played in the Bangladesh League. I will continue to play in the foreign leagues as it will help me to improve my game," he said.
For now, Kashif wants to ensure that Sapura stay in the top half of the standings and then aim for a higher placing in the knockout stage.
"There is no doubt that the teams are quite balanced this year. I think we can stay in the top half. We need to get back to our winning ways. It was a poor weekend for us as we lost twice. But we will bounce back," said Kashif.

However, it can be difficult for parents to know whether challenging behaviors or delays in learning are part of their child's development or are an indication of cognitive delays, depression, anxiety, attention deficit or other emotional concerns.

John Dalziel's insight:
The Digital Archive contains once-secret documents from governments all across the globe, uncovering new sources and providing fresh insights into the history of international relations and diplomacy.
John Dalziel's insight:
If learners don't have access to a "college library" they should try this Directory of Open Access Journals. They may be surprised at how many journals provide free access. For focused research or simple browsing, there's much to learn via this site.

Facebook is a social utility that connects people with friends and others who work, study and live around them. Facebook has announced a redesign for its Help Center. The new Help Center is designed to "get users the information they need in just a few clicks", and is even personalised according to things users may need help with. Six new major topics are provided to help start browsing; these include... - a "See what's new on Facebook" category, where you can read about Facebook's newest features. Scroll further down, and users will find a list of "Top Questions". On the left of the webpage users will find the new simplified navigation interface, where they can start searching for any issues if the six major topics don't fit.
Facebook, Microsoft, Google, and other major tech companies have joined together. They've partnered with non-profit organization Family Online Safety Institute (FOSI) to build A Platform For Good.

John Dalziel's insight:
In the past, it's been difficult to access and compare existing constitutional documents and language because the texts were locked up in libraries or on the hard drives of constitutional experts. Google Ideas supported the Comparative Constitutions Project to build Constitute, a new site that... The Comparative Constitutions Project cataloged and tagged nearly 350 themes, so people can easily find and compare specific constitutional material. This ranges from the fairly general, such as "Citizenship" and "Foreign Policy," to the very specific, such as "Suffrage and turnouts" and "Judicial Autonomy and Power."

This page briefly describes every file format (or actually the file name extensions for the formats) that we have been able to learn about.
John Dalziel's insight:
While using computers, practitioners and learners will come across file extensions of various formats. A lot of the time, they may not know what these extensions stand for. Normally, if an individual knows what the extension stands for, they can figure out what the file is for. If you want to be able to quickly tell what a file extension means, you should check out a website called TechFileFormat.

Journalism education needs to incorporate more "new skills" to catch up with what is expected of the next generation of journalists. This is an observation based on a comparison of skills emphasized by media professionals and skills being taught in journalism schools. This blog looks at 25 skills and, for the purpose of comparison and analysis, puts them into two categories... 1: "Old Skills" 2: "New Skills" The question to journalist practitioners and learners is "how much of the "new" skills are incorporated in your curriculum?"

Summary: Cryptology, for millennia a "secret science", is rapidly gaining in practical importance for the protection of communication channels, databases, and software. Beside its role in computerized information systems (public key systems), more and more applications within computer systems and networks are appearing, which also extend to access rights and source file protection.
The first part of this book treats secret codes and their uses - cryptograp ...show morehy. The second part deals with the process of covertly decrypting a secret code - cryptanalysis - where in particular advice on assessing methods is given. The book presupposes only elementary mathematical knowledge. Spiced with a wealth of exciting, amusing, and sometimes personal stories from the history of cryptology, it will also interest general readers. "Decrypted Secrets" has become a standard book on cryptology. This 4th edition has again been revised and extended in many technical and biographical details. ...show less
