PoliticsDisunited kingdom As Scotland prepares to vote on independence, what would a 'Yes' vote mean for the UK's standing in the world? 10 Jul 2014 11:20 GMT | Politics, England, Scotland, United Kingdom The people of Scotland will soon decide in a referendum whether their country should become independent from the United Kingdom. Opinion polls show that while support for the 'Yes Scotland' campaign -- those who would separate -- is growing, the 'Better Together' or unionist group still commands a clear majority. However, there still remains a large number of 'don't knows'. It's not impossible then that Great Britain, which once ruled an empire covering a large part of the world, could be reduced to just England, Wales and Northern Ireland - and that in Scotland, Europe might soon have its newest sovereign state. So, if that happens, what sort of nations might emerge from this break-up, and what are the implications for Great Britain's role in the world? Dr Faisal Devji teaches modern Indian history at Oxford University. His family lived under British imperial rule, witnessed their departure and saw a strong independent nation emerge as a consequence. As he was growing up, Britain surrendered its last colonies in Africa and the Far East. He has lived in Zanzibar and Canada – both former British dependencies. He's therefore both a product of Britain's rich past and an outsider. As a result, he's curious whether the vote will mark not so much the birth of a new country, but the final chapter in Britain's imperial story. People & Power asked him to make a personal assessment of the arguments for and against Scottish independence, and what a 'Yes' vote might mean for those affected. A matter of control Accompanied by filmmaker Jeremy Bristow, Devji's journey takes him north of the border between England and Scotland and right into the heart of the debate. Through his travels, he explores the question with both sides of the argument. He finds out that though the Scots have been able to promote their own identity within Great Britain and have enjoyed devolved government for several years, many of them see themselves less as citizens of the UK and more of the European Union – a nation with an even wider polity and different views on the world. For them, their shared history with the UK is important but should not necessarily define what comes next. "My father was in the Royal Household Cavalry, and very proud to serve in the Royal Household Cavalry" one man tells him. "My son was in the Royal Air Force, so I have a lot of connections that's got to do with the British Armed Forces and I am very proud of them. But this is actually a very fundamental argument about control. And who is controlling the economy and the physical leavers that are required for the future." Humza Yousaf, a member of the Scottish Parliament and the current (nationalist) Scottish government's minister for external affairs, told Devji that it was a matter of different values. "Certainly the actions of the UK over the last decade, decade and a half, two decades I think, have not been similar to the values we have here in Scotland in terms of how we view ourselves as a good global citizen". He cited the Iraq war as an example – 'As a young boy growing up, I was marching in the demonstration in London walking past the House of Commons and a light bulb just went off in a flash. [...] every survey and poll showed that Scots were opposed to the Iraq war. Why was I marching in London? Why was the decision not being taken in Scotland? Why were Scottish sons and daughters being sent off into foreign and illegal wars against our wishes?" A vote 'for the worst' Others, on the other hand, are more concerned about the consequences of Scottish independence for the UK at large. Lord Robertson, a defence minister in the UK government and a former secretary-general of NATO, is a proud Scot. However, he believes the results of a "yes" vote could be catastrophic. "If the United Kingdom was to break in two, if Scotland was to secede, then the United Kingdom would lose a third of its landmass, 10 per cent of its national wealth, five million of its population, and potentially its nuclear deterrent as well. Britain then becomes a much more diminished country and its role in the world – a good role in international development terms, its permanent seat on the Security Council, its ability to play a part in a deeply dangerous and complex world today – would all be affected, and for the worst." A currency union Ultimately, it might come down to money. Most opinion polls show that the viability of a post-independence Scottish economy will be the key factor in most people's minds come September when the vote will take place. What the nationalists are trying to say to the people is that if we break away everything will be fine [and] you will still keep all the things that you actually want. But you can't have it both ways. Alistair Darling - Better Together campaign. The separatists point to Britain's remaining North Sea oil reserves (90 per cent of which is in Scottish waters), tourism, finance and hi-tech manufacturing as being perfectly sufficient to keep the country's economy afloat. Scotland could remain in a currency union with the rest of the UK and keep the pound sterling . Others dismiss the latter idea as being unworkable. Alistair Darling, formerly the UK Labour government's chancellor of the exchequer is leading the "Better Together" campaign. "What the nationalists are trying to say to the people is that if we break away everything will be fine [and] you will still keep all the things that you actually want. But you can't have it both ways. The reason a currency union won't work is that it doesn't make economic sense for Scotland, because you'd be locking yourself into a situation where the rest of the UK could determine your tax and spend. And as you see with the eurozone, that won't work." An independent Scotland, he maintains, couldn't rely on the UK to bail it out if it ran into difficulties. In a few month's time, one of these two arguments will prove the most persuasive. Either a relationship that stems back to the Act of Union in 1707 will survive, or Scotland will go it alone and try and make its way as an independent European state. Either way it'll be a momentous decision that will determine Scotland's future – and that of the UK – for many years to come.

Dreary April kept tourists away from Myrtle Beach
Cool and wet weather combined to keep tourists away from the Grand Strand in April.
The Sun News of Myrtle Beach reports (http://bit.ly/10NBSxa) lodging occupancy and average daily rates were down from the same period a year ago. Tourism trackers were expecting a slight increase.
Taylor Damonte of Coastal Carolina University's Clay Brittain Jr. Center for Resort Tourism says weather plays more of a role during the spring and fall because there's more spur-of-the-moment travel.
"The temperature was down and precipitation was higher. During the spring and the fall of the year, there is a statistical relationship between the weather forecast and the occupancy, Damonte said "(Potential) visitors get up on Monday morning, look at the forecast and if it's a 100 percent chance of rain, they don't come."
Average lodging occupancy and rates for the six weeks from March 24 through May 4 were down significantly compared to the same six-week period in 2012. Hotel and condotel occupancy was down 8.5 percent, while average daily rates were off 3.6 percent. Vacation rental properties were down 5.8 percent, and rental rates fell 10 percent.
The upcoming weeks don't show much promise, bringing uncertainty into the summer tourism outlook and hinting that there might be more issues negatively influencing travel than just the weather. Reservations for vacation rental properties don't show improvement - comparing a week this year to the same week last year - until mid-June, Damonte said.
"So I just don't know what the rest of the summer will bring at this point," he said. "We believe weather played a role this spring but there may be other macroeconomic factors and other consumer factors. So we will just have to wait and see."
Some properties still were able to stay about even in April compared to April 2012, but admit their numbers would have been better if the weather had cooperated. Bad weather tends to keep the last-minute bookers and weekend visitors away.
"Weather has definitely had a hindrance on business for sure," said Don Hovis with Springmaid Beach Resort in Myrtle Beach.
But not all the weekends were a bust. For example, the beach was busy during the St. Patrick's Day weekend in March, which featured the usual holiday celebrations as well as cheerleaders for a competition and more than 3,000 car enthusiasts for the Pee Dee Street Rodders 25th Anniversary Run to the Sun show.

I love to kiss so I would start with a very passionate kiss, some dancing wine, and a very good home cooked meal. Some good conversation and more slow dancing.
A casual meeting for coffee or dinner, perhaps a movie or a concert would be fun, too!
A certain amount of chemistry, a lot of good conversation, laughter and by the end of the evening a feeling of comfort and anticipation of a second meeting
lunch or dinner and good conversation
Out to a show then dinner then a walk on the beach
I enjoy anything where we can meet in a neutral place and see if we click...
A live performance at the theatre/opera/classical,in general such a setting is normally a good enviroment for 2 people to engage.If you don"t fall asleep during the performance it will be an added bonus.
My first date would be getting to know the person a little bit more, having fun,cracking jokes,go to a live event, dinner,lol nothing too crazy!
meet at a public place and talk
Just doing something fun, whether it be a concert or a movie, even a walk on the beach whatever
i have no expectations other than be real and honest. i am a very straight forward
A good first date would be to go to a jazz cafe and listen to poetry readings. Another great idea would be a stroll in the park followed a little picnic.
no idea what my ideal date would be,just a quite drink in a nice pub,or go out for dinner,either would be a nice start
On a first date, I would like to meet somewhere we can chat and have a little fun.
I'm up for anything really, but if I had to choose, I would say a concert or live show, coffee, drinks, dinner, movies, drives, Bragg Creek or Canmore.

February 3, 2006
To: Mayor and Members of the Council
From: Andrew Neiditz, City Manager
- Washington Economic Development Association: Joe Hannan attended workshops and legislator education in Olympia this week sponsored the Washington Economic Development Association (WEDA), and was elected to WEDA's Board of Directors. The Association represents cities/counties, economic development districts, community colleges and work force organizations as an advocate for economic development to the Legislature. WEDA's 2006 Legislative focus is workforce development and infrastructure assistance.
- Proposed Armed Services Highway: At the February 1st Regional Access Mobility Project Meeting (RAMP) meeting, co-hosted by the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber, Port of Tacoma, and Pierce County, a resolution was passed requesting that the State Legislature amend RCW 42.17.140 to re-designate SR 704 (aka: Cross Base Highway) to "SR 704 Armed Services Highway".
- Planning Advisory Board: The Planning Advisory Board met this past week and made recommendations to fill seats on a task force to review the regulatory environment regarding personal care facilities located in residential zoning districts. The effort was previously endorsed by both the PAB and the City Council. The recommended appointees include PAB members, DSHS, local neighborhood groups, Lakewood adult family home providers, and patients' rights groups. The recommendations will come to Council later this month.
The PAB also reviewed and confirmed their work plan for 2006, which includes: - amending the sign code,
- performing 2006 comprehensive plan amendments,
- auditing the level and types of land use activity occurring at Fort Steilacoom Park,
- continued work regarding personal care facilities located in residential zoning districts,
- implementation of the Public Participation Plan (regulation of correctional facilities located in Lakewood's Public Institutional (P/I) zoning district),
- providing land use recommendations to the City Council regarding the current gambling moratorium, and
- updating the City's capital facilities plan.
- LPD Booth at CPHS: Seniors from Clover Park High School presented short films on current social problems on January 14th. LPD Community Service Officer Joy Browne set up a table with information on drug abuse, domestic violence, gang problems, and other law enforcement related concerns. Over one hundred students, parents and friends attended the event.
- Officers Trained in Crime Free Motel Sweep Program: On January 17th, Officer John Henterley and Officer Austin Lee trained 10 Motel Sweep Team officers in support of the Crime Free Motel Program. These officers will be conducting monthly motel "checks" and "sweeps." The Crime Free Motel Program is one of the important crime prevention programs associated with the Crime Free Housing Program. Under this program, the local motel owners are trained with best practices to deter problems from occurring at their motels. It also creates a close partnership between the motel owners and the police. These trained officers will check and evaluate all the motels on the progress that the motel owners are making towards reaching crime free motels. The motels that are experiencing high levels of police calls for service will be checked regularly to ensure compliance.
- Golden Lion Success Story: Between 2004 and 2005, Golden Lion Motel had become a place where extensive criminal activities were occurring. It was experiencing problems of drug trafficking and many other violent crimes including robberies and serious assaults As the result of the "best practices" partnership with the City, the crime rate at the motel was reduced by approximately 95% (based on the call statistics comparison between April 2005 and January 2006).

August 2 CIBC Communication Technology 1 - 1 Conference, NY August 15 Credit Suisse Communications Conference, Boston, MA
It seems Credit Suisse has strong interests of ANAD or is a share holder of ANAD. Comments?
Credit Suisse has been the lead placement agent (underwriter) for SEVERAL of ANAD's secondary and convertible offerings over the years including the most recent and as a result they most certainly have a strong "special interest" in ANADIGICS. IMHO, Credit Suisse's "downgrade" of ANAD from "BUY" a few weeks prior to ANAD's latest earnings by Credit Suisse was obvious and completely contrived with the purpose of ensuring that their rating of ANAD had room for several upgrades as their comeback accelerates and perhaps to provide a buying opportunity for their own while confusing the rest of the community for a few weeks before ANAD announced their excellent earnings and even better guidance. If that indeed was the plan, it worked extremely well. Consider that if your rating of a company is already "BUY" you only have one more upgrade available no matter how stunning a company may perform and I believe Credit Suisse knows full well the compelling nature of ANAD's accelerating comeback story and wished to ensure they at least had two upgrades available to bestow on ANAD as its Revenue, Earnings, and Guidance merit. Their recent "Downgrade" was incredibly "suspect" in both timing and in the actual wording as it read more like an upgrade than a downgrade which is all the more reason for my opinion of the reason for it and what is likely to happen down the road. On a different subject, the footnote "Options/Shares issued in conjuntion with the 2005 Long Term Incentive Plan" is a term that folks should familiarize themselves with when reading SEC filings that appear to show insider buying so as to actually understand the difference between Long term Incentive Plan Grants and insider buys being reported to the SEC.

let's GO -->
Everybody knows the CM9/10 ROMs are smooth and Awesome. But what they lack is a TaskManager. This need was fulfilled by the RemICS ROMs which got TouchWiz TaskManager to CM9 and now CM10. But only thing I hated was that the TaskManager force closed when the options key was pressed. After few months I thought that must have been rectified, but I tried the TaskManager from RemICS 1.6, the problem was still there. (Nothing against the RemICS team, the ROM is AWESOME)
So I took it in my own hands to fix the problem... And I DID...!!!
EDIT: User txtmikhail tested the app on CM7 and it works.
download the 2 attached apks install the system app installer then put the task manager APK in system\app folder ... install the apk via the system app installer .. open if you had a forceclose reboot

Oscars Poll: Which Beyonce Dress Was The Most Fab?
by Beauty
Like us on Facebook
Like Jennifer Hudson, Beyonce Knowles also made three changes last night. The red gown she wore during the Dreamgirls number paled in comparison to these two glamorous gowns, so I've just left that one out.
I think that Beyonce looked amazing in both gowns, but I really like the mint green color of the first one best over this silvery nude dress. This was a tough decision for me - they are both leg-a-licious and hug her tiny waist beautifully. Which dress do you like best?

Had actually thought it's one and the same dress but after a close look guess the nude one with the slits works better for me.

I've always liked Beyonce's sense of style, I think she looks great in both, but I definitly like the second one better!

two things we know about beyonce when she dresses: she likes to show off her legs and boobs.

what's up with this girls' obsession with pageant dresses???? how many times do we have to see this same tacky dress in different fabrics and colors? it's always the same va-va-va-voom hair and dress. bad.
8 years
Other than her beautiful face, I think she is gross. She should get a stylist...she always looks trashy. I have no problems with her being a curvy woman but her legs are not the best I don't know why she insists on showing them off.
8 years
the red one she wore during the performance was definetely the best but out of these two, the nude one is definetely better. i hate the pale mint green armani dress, its fug. but i think she looks gorgeous in the other one. she should have worn that to the red carpet, or better yet, the red one.
8 years
she looks great in both.

I loved the red dress and I hate both of these.
There are a lot of parts of Beyonce that are worth showing off, but her upper thigh is not one of them. And do I spy shiney hose? Ick.
8 years
no!! the red one was goooorgeous and she looked great in it!! i was completely jealous of her the whole time she was performing, hahaha, these other two dresses don'y really do it for me
8 years
I prefer the silvery nude dress. It looks absolutely gorgeous. But I love the red gown she wore when she perform. It was the best dress of this years Oscar.
8 years
I love the second one...she should have worn that all night. The first one is so Miss America.
8 years
I agree that her red performance dress was the best one, she always gets it just a little bit wrong, something is always slit too high or low, or a ridiculous showgirl pose.
She needs to tone down the whole diva thing, it is overplayed.
8 years
I think the first would look much better without the leg slit....it just doesn't work with that gown

Day 1a Draws to a Close Posted 01-29-2009 23:47 GMT+8 F-Train Share Share: FacebookTwitterGoogle+ APT Hostess Riza Santos wants you to tune in tomorrow. That will do it for Day 1a of the 2009 Asian Poker Tour Philippines Main Event. Seventy five players turned up today to try to parlay their $2,700 entry fee into a six figure payday and poker glory and immortality. By the end of the day a mere nineteen remained. Norihito Suzuki jumped out to the early chip lead and held onto it for most of the day, but lost a big pot to local Neil Arce in the last half hour of play. Arce is the apparent overnight chip leader with 85,800 chips. Two WSOP bracelet winners were in the field to start the day, but neither one made it to the bag-and-tag at the end of the night. 1990 WSOP Main Event winner Mansour Matloubi went out early in the day; Seven-Card Stud champion Toto Leonidas held on for most of the day, succubing in the last ten minutes of play. Tomorrow's field promises to be much larger than today, and will be stocked with talent well-known to the international poker circuit. PokerNews will have all of the action live from the tournament floor at noon local time. Until then, good night!

He and Anders Andersson went to war on the turn of a board. Welch was the first aggressor, making it 3,500 to go. Andersson responded by raising to 11,500. Welch thought things over, then put in another raise by matching the 11,500 and sliding a stack of yellow (1,000) chips out across the betting line for a total bet of 31,500. Andersson responded by moving all in for 35,700. Incredibly, Welch went into the tank! "How much is it?" he asked the dealer. "I don't think I can call." The dealer informed him the raise was 4,200 more back to him. "I can't call!" said Welch. "I've got nothing." He shooed away a massage therapist that was giving him a massage so he could figure out what to do. Finally he decided that he could indeed call and made the call with -- a gutshot straight. Andersson showed for a set of fours. Welch was drawing live to the winner, but missed the river with the . He's down to 27,600. Andersson is now on 79,000. Tags: Anders AndersonDavid Welch

Arce Takes Another from Suzuki Posted 01-29-2009 22:45 GMT+8 thkcduckworth Share Share: FacebookTwitterGoogle+ Norihito Suzuki limped the small blind and Neil Arce made it another 2,000 to go from the big blind. The flop fell and Suzuki check-called a 4,000 from Arce. When the landed on the turn, Suzuki again checked to Arce who fired out 5,000 this time. Suzuki made the call. The river went check-check and Arce flashed the . Suzuki mucked and Arce was polite to show his kicker as he raked in the pot, which sent him back to 38,000 as Suzuki remains strong on six-figures.

Hyoung Jin Nam Eliminated Posted 01-29-2009 22:38 GMT+8 F-Train Share Share: FacebookTwitterGoogle+ Hyoung Jin Nam made the final table of a major tournament here in Manila just two months ago, but won't have a repeat this weekend. He was all in on a flop of with . His opponent, David Welch, called and turned over pocket queens, rose out of his seat and started shouting for them to hold. Queens held when the turn and river blanked out. "Go on, English!" said tablemate Eddie Hearn. He offered Welch a high five, then asked, "Are we the only two English left?"

They arent for me either, i had a fellow deputy that always wore one off duty with a .380 inside. He competed as a powerlifter all over the US, he was 6'0 230lbs and could benchpress 800lbs "not exaggerating".. Even though i thought the fanny pack looked a little silly,i dont think anyone else would try and tell him that.

Go to www.pistolwear.com. Great product.
I have some nice black boots that go great with it. I also like the bag because I have a pair of cuffs, a asp retractable baton, a multi tool, 357mag and anything else I may need. For me it works and I can unzip the gun and shoot as fast as most can deploy there gun from a in the waste holster. play the victim, be the victim

Lots of pros and cons here. I think I am going to get a good FP and a good IWB and try them both out. The only holster I have found that I can use, without printing bad, is an IWB at the small of my back. I may just have to get a new carry gun, maybe a XD40 sub-compact.

Claims that 'austerity has failed' are popular, especially in the Anglo-Saxon world. This column argues that this narrative is factually wrong and ignores the reasons underlying the Greek crisis. The worst move for Greece would be to return to its old ways. Greece needs to realise that things could actually become much worse than they are now, particularly if membership in the Eurozone cannot be assured. Instead of looking back, Greece needs to continue building a functioning state and a functioning market economy.

Fiscal consolidation is back at the top of the policy agenda. This column provides historical context by examining 91 episodes of fiscal consolidation in advanced and developing economies between 1945 and 2012. By focusing on cases in which the adjustment was necessary and desired in order to stabilise the debt-to-GDP ratio, the authors find larger average fiscal adjustments than previous studies. Most consolidation episodes resulted in stabilisation of the debt-to-GDP ratio, but at a new, higher level.
Luis Garicano, Lucrezia Reichlin, Friday, November 14, 2014
The ECB seems to be edging towards QE, but faces a quandary on what to buy. This proposal suggests that the ECB buy 'Safe Market Bonds'. These would be synthetic bonds formed by the senior tranches of EZ national bonds combined in GDP-weighted proportions. The ECB would merely announce the features of the synthetic bonds it will purchase. The market would create the bonds in response to this announcement, thus avoiding new EZ-level institutions or funds.
Irina Balteanu, Aitor Erce, Wednesday, November 12, 2014
The feedback loop between banking crises and sovereign debt crises has been at the heart of recent problems in the Eurozone. This column presents stylised facts on the mechanisms through which banking and sovereign crises combine and become 'twin' crises. The results point to systematic differences not only between 'single' and 'twin' crises, but also between different types of 'twin' episodes. The timing of 'twin' crises – which crisis comes first – is important for understanding their drivers, transmission channels, and economic consequences.

There has been renewed interest in sovereign debt since the Global Crisis, but relatively little attention has been paid to its composition. Sovereign debt can differ in terms of the currency it is denominated in, its maturity, its marketability, and who holds it – and these characteristics matter for debt sustainability. This column presents evidence from a new dataset on the composition of sovereign debt over the past century in 13 advanced economies.
Carmen M Reinhart, Christoph Trebesch, Tuesday, October 21, 2014
To work towards resolving Europe's ongoing debt crisis this column looks to the past. From the recent emerging market debt crisis (1980s-2000s) and the interwar episode of the 1920s-1930s we learn that debt write-downs and defaults are able to be postponed but not prevented. Punishment for default is temporary, sometimes followed by a renewed surge in borrowing that leads to another crisis.
Christopher Findlay, Silvia Sorescu, Camilo Umana Dajud, Friday, August 29, 2014
Countries facing rising risk premiums on their debt have recognised the need for structural reform, but some politicians have argued that austerity is necessary in the short run because structural reform takes too long. This column argues that financial markets can bring forward the benefits of structural reform, and therefore that such reforms should be given greater weight in the package of crisis responses.
Jeffrey Frankel, Tuesday, July 22, 2014
The US court ruling forcing Argentina to pay its hold-out creditors has big implications. This column argues that some of them are particularly worrying. The court ruling undermines the possibility of negotiated re-structuring of unsustainable debt burdens in future crises. In the future, it will not be not enough for the debtor and 92% of creditors to reach an agreement, if holdouts and a New York judge can block it. This will make both debtors and creditors worse-off.
Nicola Gennaioli, Alberto Martin, Stefano Rossi, Saturday, July 19, 2014
There is growing concern – but little systematic evidence – about the relationship between sovereign default and banking crises. This column documents the link between public default, bank bondholdings, and bank loans. Banks hold many public bonds in normal times (on average 9% of their assets), particularly in less financially developed countries. During sovereign defaults, banks increase their exposure to public bonds – especially large banks, and when expected bond returns are high. At the bank level, bondholdings correlate negatively with subsequent lending during sovereign defaults.
Marcus Miller, Lei Zhang, Thursday, June 26, 2014
Like banks, indebted governments can be vulnerable to self-fulfilling financial crises. This column applies this insight to the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis, and explains why the ECB's Outright Monetary Transactions policy reduced sovereign bond spreads in the Eurozone.
Paolo Manasse, Friday, January 31, 2014
Sales of state-owned assets have been proposed as a way for highly-indebted countries to ease the pain of fiscal consolidation. This column argues that, despite the potential merits of privatisation in terms of long-run efficiency, in practice it is unlikely to improve short-run fiscal solvency. Since governments rarely alienate control rights, the efficiency gains from privatisations are often small. Moreover, financial markets may not fully reflect these gains – particularly during a financial crisis. The implication is that the Troika policy of linking financial assistance to privatisations is inappropriate and self-defeating.
Charles Yuji Horioka, Takaaki Nomoto, Akiko Terada-Hagiwara, Tuesday, January 21, 2014
Japan's sovereign debt-to-GDP ratio is higher than any country in Europe and more than twice the OECD average. This column explains why Japan's massive government debt did not wreak havoc in the past. Robust domestic saving and a temporary inflow of foreign capital caused by the Global Crisis have prevented a crisis thus far. As both of these factors become less applicable the government faces pressure to reduce debt-to-GDP ratio can be brought under control quickly.
Willem Buiter, Friday, January 10, 2014
Fiscal sustainability has become a hot topic as a result of the European sovereign debt crisis, but it matters in normal times, too. This column argues that financial sector reforms are essential to ensure fiscal sustainability in the future. Although emerging market reforms undertaken in the aftermath of the financial crises of the 1990s were beneficial, complacency is not warranted. In the US, political gridlock must be overcome to reform entitlements and the tax system. In the Eurozone, creating a sovereign debt restructuring mechanism should be a priority.
Ashoka Mody, Tuesday, January 7, 2014
On 19 October 2010, Angela Merkel and Nicolas Sarkozy agreed that in future, sovereign bailouts from the European Stability Mechanism would require that losses be imposed on private creditors. This agreement was blamed for the increase in sovereign spreads in late 2010 and early 2011. This column discusses recent research on the market reaction to the surprise announcement at Deauville. With the exception of Greece, the rise in spreads was within the range of variability established in the previous 20 days.
Kaushik Basu, Joseph Stiglitz, Thursday, January 2, 2014
The Eurozone crisis exposed weaknesses in the Eurozone's design. This column – by Nobelist Joe Stiglitz and World Bank Chief Economist Kaushik Basu – argues that the Eurozone's financial architecture can be improved by amending the Treaty of Lisbon to permit appropriately structured cross-country liability for sovereign debt incurred by EZ members.
Martin Brooke, Rhys Mendes, Alex Pienkowski, Eric Santor, Thursday, December 12, 2013
Recent Eurozone events have changed the perception that sovereign debt is a problem of emerging-market economies. This column highlights some major deficiencies of the current framework, and proposes two new and complementary types of state-contingent debt contracts. The first – sovereign cocos – are designed to tackle liquidity crises. The second – GDP-linked bonds – help prevent solvency crises.
Mike Wickens, Vito Polito, Wednesday, October 30, 2013
A good credit rating has become a key fiscal objective, even if it requires austerity when unemployment is high. Recent experience has raised doubts about the sovereign ratings provided by the credit-rating agencies. This column suggests a new way to measure credit ratings based on a country's ability to meet its liabilities using fiscal policy. This measure would have identified and signalled to market participants signs of the impending European sovereign-debt crisis well before 2010, when the rating agencies first reacted to the crisis.
Carlos Álvarez-Nogal, Christophe Chamley, Monday, October 21, 2013
The recent showdown over the US debt ceiling can be thought of as a game of chicken over the repayment of sovereign debt, with potentially severe consequences. This column describes an analogous historical episode in Spain, in which city delegates in the Cortes resisted tax increases, and Phillip II responded by suspending payments on a portion of the sovereign debt. By the time the cities caved to a doubling of their tax contribution two years later, the resulting bank failures and credit freeze had caused lasting economic damage.
Alexander Popov, Neeltje van Horen, Saturday, July 6, 2013
The European sovereign-debt crisis has raised many questions regarding the link between sovereigns and banks. This column goes to the heart of one and shows that tensions in Eurozone government-bond markets were transmitted internationally through the bank lending channel. Lending by European banks with sizeable exposures to sovereign debt from the troubled Eurozone countries became impaired after the start of the crisis, resulting in a reallocation away from foreign (especially US) markets.
Bernhard Bartels, Beatrice Weder di Mauro, Thursday, July 4, 2013
US-based credit-rating agencies are regularly subject to condemnation for causing or amplifying financial crises – the Eurozone Crisis in particular. Should Europe try to set up a European agency to counter this? This column discusses evidence that shows that the largest German rating agency was more aggressive than the US Big Three both in terms of a lower level and a higher propensity to quickly downgrade Eurozone problem countries.

NO More for me guys. I did however order an F-35 today :)
SOrry no more crashes hopefully to share. THe last f-35 went up in flames if guys remember. I think IM sticking to foam, You guys have to understand there are no runways at the field and if I put a landing gear on it to run in that grass it would have to be huge which will slow me down. The planes have to be either bungee or hand launch and you guys know how I do not like the bungee gig. I will post the video of that crash with the F-16, and I tried from a hill an hour ago that did not work either , so no more heavy planes for me.
Also, have a question. IF I run the JS1400 on 4s but two packs together to get 5300mah 40c is that too much weight for the plane? I know one pack will only run minute and half. |

you lost those planes because you threw them ....every one of those should have been bungee launched...you ask for help but were told by many what to do ...and you did'nt listen ...a JS 1400 on a 2650 is not good to start with ,i told you you need a 5000 batt to feed that motor to get good power

sherlockshah why don't you find a build thread concerning a plane you would like to fly..........(beginner type) then do what the fliers are doing to get it in the air......otherwise you are wearing out your welcome here. I would be the first to point you in the right direction and this is what the guys are doing on this thread(unlike some other type of flying)....but there is a point when they will ignor you. |

RM Education has released RM Easiteach Next Generation for Mac OS X, bringing a number of features to the Mac platform that had previously been available only for WIndows-based systems.
RM Easiteach is a classroom software suite that's designed to serve as a single platform integrating functionality between whiteboards, classroom clickers (interactive polling devices), and other technologies. It's designed for a variety of grade levels and can be used to create both lessons and activities, and it includes pre-designed content packs covering math, English/language arts, science, and geography. It also allows for existing lessons to be adapted from Excel, Word, and PowerPoint, as well as video files.
In addition to an updated GUI and various new interface elements, the new Easiteach NG for Mac OS X adds support for Easiteach widgets and compatibility with .iwb files. It also includes more than 250 interactive lessons, according to RM. To coincide with the launch, the company has also debuted a new resource site, called RM Easilearn, which offers free updates and downloadable materials for use with RM Easiteach software.
RM Easiteach Next Generation for Mac OS X is available now as a free upgrade for schools using previous Mac versions of the software. (The free upgrade will only be available through January, according to RM.) Further information can be found here.

Your accommodation at MICA:
If you opt with the official AIN lodging you will be staying in the same building as the sessions take place.
You get a dorm room to yourself, as part of a suite of 3 or 4 rooms, sharing a small living room, a kitchen and a bathroom with fellow AINers. It will be like Applied Impro camp. See the attached. There are no double beds. And you can't book an apartment all to yourself unless you pay for the whole apartment. In any case, we'd like to encourage apartment sharing as a feature of the conference.
More information about amenities can be found here.
"Well, who do I get to share with?" - I hear you ask. We're setting up an accommodation team to consider that very question, and they'll be giving you a choice as to whether you want to share with named friends, or be allocated an apartment according to your preferred criteria – for example, people from the same or different parts of the world; newcomers or experienced members, etc.
Alternatively you can also stay in one of the hotels near MICA - MICA_Baltimore_Hotels.pdf - some of which have discounted rates for the college.

ABSTRACT: Several essential oils possess pharmacological effects. Among the various constituents of essential oils, 1, 8-cineole has been shown to possess pharmacological effects such as anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. The effect of 1, 8-cineole on human colorectal cancer cells, however, has not reported previously. In this study, we have investigated the anti-proliferative effect of 1, 8-cineole on human colon cancer cell lines HCT116 and RKO by WST-8 and BrdU assays. The cytotoxicity of 1, 8-cineole was investigated by LDH activity and TUNEL staining. The mechanism of apoptosis by 1, 8-cineole was determined by western blot analyses. In in vivo study, RKO cells were injected into the SCID mice and the effect of 1, 8-cineole was investigated. Specific induction of apoptosis, not necrosis, was observed in human colon cancer cell lines HCT116 and RKO by 1, 8-cineole. The treatment with 1, 8-cineole was associated with inactivation of survivin and Akt and activation of p38. These molecules induced cleaved PARP and caspase-3, finally causing apoptosis. In xenotransplanted SCID mice, the 1, 8-cineole group showed significantly inhibited tumor progression compared to the control group. These results indicated 1, 8-cineole suppressed human colorectal cancer proliferation by inducing apoptosis. Based on these studies 1, 8-cineole would be an effective strategy to treat colorectal cancer.Oncology Reports 10/2013; · 2.19 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Purpose Continuous treatment with FOLFOX therapy is associated with peripheral nerve toxicity, and to improve this inconvenient side effect various methods of administration are being investigated. A regimen of intermittent oxaliplatin administration by continuous infusion therapy, i.e., modified FOLFOX7 (mFOLFOX7) + bevacizumab, was designed with the goal of alleviating severe peripheral nerve disorders and hematological toxicity. A phase II clinical study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this regimen. Methods Previously untreated patients were assigned to mFOLFOX7 (oxaliplatin 85 mg/m(2), levofolinate [l-LV] 200 mg/m(2), 5-fluorouracil [5-FU] 2400 mg/m(2)) + bevacizumab (5 mg/kg) administered every 2 weeks for 8 cycles, maintenance without oxaliplatin for 8 cycles, and reintroduction of mFOLFOX7 + bevacizumab for 8 cycles or until disease progression. Progression free survival (PFS) following the first dose (PFS 1) and following reintroduction of oxaliplatin (PFS 2) were used as indices for assessing the efficacy of intermittent administration. Results Fifty-two patients were enrolled, with median age of 64 years (range, 36-74). Median PFS 1 was 11.8 months (95 % confidence interval [CI], 9.5 to 13.7), median time to treatment failure was 10.3 months (95 % CI, 5.6 to 12.1), percentage of patients with neutropenia of grade 3 or higher was 7.8 %, and percentage with peripheral nerve disorders was 3.9 %. Response rate was 50 %, and 84.4 % of patients who started modified simplified LV5FU2 + bevacizumab were reintroduced to oxaliplatin. Conclusion By excluding 5-FU bolus administration and administering bevacizumab continuously the mFOLFOX7 + bevacizumab regimen with preplanned withdrawal of oxaliplatin showed high tolerability and prevented severe peripheral neuropathy and neutropenia without reducing efficacy.Investigational New Drugs 07/2013; 31(5). · 3.50 Impact FactorThis article is viewable in ResearchGate's enriched format -
Article: Enhanced antitumor activity of cerulenin combined with oxaliplatin in human colon cancer cells.
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Fatty acid synthase is highly expressed in many types of human cancers. Cerulenin, a natural inhibitor of fatty acid synthase, induced apoptosis in the human colon cancer cell lines HCT116 and RKO. Oxaliplatin also induced cell death in these cell lines. Cerulenin treatment was associated with reduced levels of phosphorylated Akt, activation of p38 and induced caspase-3 cleavage and finally caused apoptosis. Oxaliplatin induced activation of the p53-p21 pathway and p38. In combination with cerulenin and oxaliplatin, activation of the p53-p21 pathway and p38 occurred in a smaller concentration and finally induced caspase-3 cleavage in a smaller concentration of cerulenin and oxaliplatin. In xenotransplanted SCID mice, the cerulenin + oxaliplatin group significantly inhibited tumor progression compared to the control, cerulenin and oxaliplatin groups. Based on these studies, inhibiting fatty acid synthase would be an effective strategy to treat unresectable colorectal cancer tumors in combination with oxaliplatin. Fatty acid synthase inhibitor would be one of the best counterparts of oxaliplatin, which reduces the dose and side-effects of oxaliplatin and would make it possible to endure the chemotherapy over a longer period.International Journal of Oncology 06/2013; · 2.77 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We evaluated the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant chemotherapy using modified OPTIMOX1 plus bevacizumab for advanced rectal cancer. Nine cases with highly advanced rectal cancer for which curative surgery was potentially difficult were enrolled(clinical T4 in 7 cases, lateral node metastasis in 3 cases, M1 in 2 cases). The number of courses of modified OPTIMOX1(mFOLFOX6 and sLV5FU2, alternating administration)plus bevacizumab ranged from 1 to 21(median: 10). Surgical procedures consisted of internal sphincter resection(ISR)in 4 patients, ultra-low anterior resection(ULAR)in 2 patients, pelvic exenteration(TPE)in 2 patients, and Hartmann's procedure in 1 patient. Liver resection was conducted in 2 patients. RM1 was confirmed in 2 patients, but curative surgery was performed in the other patients. Histological efficacy of grade x/1a/1b/2were seen in the above 1/4/2/2 cases, respectively. Neurotoxicity associated with oxaliplatin was mild; no grade 3 neurotoxicity was noted. Recurrence has been confirmed in 5 patients at the median follow-up period of 650 days. It was suggested that modified OPTIMOX1 plus bevacizumab is effective and safe to administer as a neoadjuvant chemotherapy for curative resection or anus-preserving surgery in patients with highly advanced rectal cancer.Gan to kagaku ryoho.

Conference Paper: Management of Acute Colorectal Cancer Obstruction in Our Department.
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Purpose: The aim of this study was to clarify the management of acute colon and rectum obstruction caused by colorectal carcinoma using a trans-anal and a naso-intestinal drainage tube before surgery. Method: Forty colorectal cancer patients (26 men and 14 women) with acute large-bowel obstruction were treated in our department during the last three years. Three patients were treated with naso-intestinal tube and the trans-anal tube drainage was performed in 24 cases before surgery. The surgical outcomes of these patients were analyzed. Results: The site of obstruction was cecum in 1 patient, ascending colon in 4, transverse colon in 6, descending colon in 7, sigmoid colon in 8, and rectum in 14. Three patients (27%) among 11 right-sided colon cancer obstruction (RCCO) were treated by inserting a long naso-intestinal tube. Two cases (18%) were treated with a trans-anal drainage tube. Twenty two patients (75%) with left-sided colorectal cancer patients (LCCO) were treated with a trans-anal drainage tube. One patient of LCCO was combined with a long naso-intestinal tube. Two patients were Stage IV in RCCO (18%), whereas 17 patients of LCCO were stage IV (58%). All of RCCO were performed standard colectomy, whereas 9 patients (31%) of LCCO were treated with simple colostomy without removing cancer and 8 patients (28%) were treated with Hartmann's procedure. Surgical site infection occurred in 3 patients of RCCO and 7 patients of LCCO. In LCCO, postoperative ileus occurred in 5 patients and anastomotic leakage in 3 patients to whom preoperative drainage tube was not inserted. Conclusions: Acute bowel-obstruction was more common in left-sided advanced colorectal cancer. Management of acute colorectal obstruction using either the naso-intestinal or trans-anal drainage tube was found to be effective and safe, considered as a bridged method before curative surgery.congress of the International Society of University Colon& Rectal Surgeons; 06/2012 - Nihon Rinsho Geka Gakkai Zasshi (Journal of Japan Surgical Association) 01/2012; 73(12):3309-3314.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to clarify the surgical outcome of patients with palliative surgery for malignant bowel obstruction. This study investigated the clinical features, operative procedures and postoperative course of 35 patients who underwent a palliative surgery for malignant bowel obstruction. And then the patients were divided into two groups; Patients in A group were consisted of 4 patients with hospital death and 7 patients with postoperative complications. Patients in B group were consisted of 24 patients without hospital death or postoperative complications. Eighteen patients who had been inserted nasogastric tube or ileus tube in the preoperative state could be removed. Thirty-three of 35 patients(94.3%)could become an oral ingestion. Four of 35 patients(11.4%)could not be discharged; 3 patients died of cancer and 1 patient died of acute myocardial infarction. Postoperative complications were seen in 7 patients except 4 patients with hospital death. The median postoperative stay was 18 days(3-58). Twenty six of 35 patients(74.3%) underwent chemotherapy. The median survival time was 137 days(3-1,614). The patients in A group showed a lower level of albumin(p=0.0071)and hemoglobin,(p=0.0006)and poorer performance status(p=0.0178)than the patients in B group. The median hospital stay of the patients in A group and B group were 28 days and 16 days, respectively(p=0.0823). The median survival time of the patients in A group and B group were 42 days and 119 days, respectively(p=0.0035). We concluded that the palliative surgery made an oral ingestion possible and improved a quality of life of the patients with malignant bowel obstruction. However, the surgical indication should be carefully decided for the patients with low albumin, hemoglobin and poor performance status.Gan to kagaku ryoho.

ABSTRACT: We applied a new concept of "image overlay surgery" consisting of the integration of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technology, in which dynamic 3D images were superimposed on the patient's actual body surface and evaluated as a reference for surgical navigation in gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery. We carried out seven surgeries, including three cholecystectomies, two gastrectomies and two colectomies. A Macintosh and a DICOM workstation OsiriX were used in the operating room for image analysis. Raw data of the preoperative patient information obtained via MDCT were reconstructed to volume rendering and projected onto the patient's body surface during the surgeries. For accurate registration, OsiriX was first set to reproduce the patient body surface, and the positional coordinates of the umbilicus, left and right nipples, and the inguinal region were fixed as physiological markers on the body surface to reduce the positional error. The registration process was non-invasive and markerlesss, and was completed within 5 min. Image overlay navigation was helpful for 3D anatomical understanding of the surgical target in the gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary and pancreatic anatomies. The surgeon was able to minimize movement of the gaze and could utilize the image assistance without interfering with the forceps operation, reducing the gap from the VR. Unexpected organ injury could be avoided in all procedures. In biliary surgery, the projected virtual cholangiogram on the abdominal wall could advance safely with identification of the bile duct. For early gastric and colorectal cancer, the small tumors and blood vessels, which usually could not be found on the gastric serosa by laparoscopic view, were simultaneously detected on the body surface by carbon dioxide-enhanced MDCT. This provided accurate reconstructions of the tumor and involved lymph node, directly linked with optimization of the surgical procedures. Our non-invasive markerless registration using physiological markers on the body surface reduced logistical efforts. The image overlay technique is a useful tool when highlighting hidden structures, giving more information.Journal of hepato-biliary-pancreatic sciences. 10/2009; 17(5):629-36. - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We investigated the feasibility of new carbon dioxide-enhanced virtual multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) cholangiopancreatography (CMCP) for intraluminal exploration in 73 patients with hepatobiliary and pancreatic disease. CMCP was performed via a percutaneous or transpapillary drainage tube, and, synchronously, intravenous contrast material was employed for virtual angiography; three-dimensional (3D) virtual reality was incorporated using OsiriX and Fovia applications. The capability of carbon dioxide to delineate the biliary and pancreatic system was evaluated. All CMCPs showed complete technical success; complications including pancreatitis or pain never occurred. The incidences of visible third- and fourth-order biliary branches were 100 and 86.0%. The capability of carbon dioxide to pass an obstruction through an occluded hilar bile duct malignancy was 80.0%; it provided feasible information on additional bile duct segments. The full extent of the gallbladder was depicted in 72.7% of the studies. Minimum 2-mm lesions of biliary stones or gallbladder polyps were clearly detected. The main or second-order pancreatic ducts were visible in 100 and 83.3% of the studies, respectively. Carbon dioxide enabled the replacement of mucin and pancreatic juice and facilitated the detection of cystic lesions of intraductal papillary-mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) in 75.0% of the studies. We succeeded in achieving 3D spatial recognition of vascular structures in the cholangiopancreatic region, through the fusion of CMCP and 3DCT arteriography and venography in a single image scanning, and radiation time was decreased. This combined modality proved to be feasible for planning operations and for image-guided navigated surgery in the resection of a malignancy. To our knowledge, this is the first report to demonstrate the diagnostic accuracy of carbon dioxide MDCT cholangiopancreatography and the use of this modality for depicting biliary, pancreatic, and fusion blood vessels simultaneously. Carbon dioxide possesses many advantages over conventional iodinated contrast agents, and it might replace more invasive diagnostic measures in the near future.Journal of hepato-biliary-pancreatic sciences. 10/2009; 17(5):601-10. - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Transgastric access is a major route in natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES); gastrotomy should be performed unless it would damage surrounding organs in the peritoneal cavity. This article describes a novel rendezvous gastrotomy technique over a direct percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). In six live porcines, the gastrotomy involved applying a direct PEG through the abdominal wall into the stomach and exchanging to a needle trocar. An endoscopic balloon catheter was passed through the trocar by rendezvous technique. Then the inflated balloon and endoscope were advanced to the peritoneal cavity through the gastrotomy. Transgastric cholecystectomy was performed with a hybrid needle grasper through the same percutaneous site and the gastrotomy was closed with endoscopic clips. The rendezvous gastrotomy technique could reduce guidewire exchange. The success rate was 100% (6/6). Mean times for transgastric peritoneoscopy and cholecystectomy were 25.5 and 83.5 min. Mortality and morbidity was 0%. The addition of the extra trocar was unnecessary in all procedures. The advantage of this introduction system includes the creation of controlled gastric perforation, which is easier to close. It provides reliable transgastric access and increases safety. It simplifies transgastric NOTES and provides less invasive hybrid NOTES procedure.Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery 08/2009; 16(6):758-62. · 1.60 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) is a novel concept using an endoscope via a translumenal access for abdominal surgery. This study was designed to evaluate the feasibility and technical aspects of NOTES cholecystectomy from our experience on humans and animals. NOTES cholecystectomies were performed in 12 animal experiments, including 8 pigs (6 by transgastric and 2 by transvaginal accesses) and 4 dogs (4 transvaginal accesses), and a human female cadaver. The entire gallbladder could be removed under direct vision in all experiments. The average time was 60 min by transgastric and 40 min by transvaginal in animals. It was 87 min for human transvaginal cholecystectomy. In all animal and human procedures, there was no major complication concerning the operation. The transvaginal route may be the easiest route for abdominal NOTES. Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) allowed the safe performance of a controlled gastric perforation and shortened the time. The hybrid method allowed performance of a safe procedure and shortened the time. Transvaginal and transgastric NOTES cholecystectomy is technically feasible and safe in both humans and animals. New instrumentation needs to be developed to perform a pure NOTES cholecystectomy without transabdominal assistance.Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery 05/2009; 16(3):255-60. · 1.60 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to examine correlations between pressure profile of the anal canal and postoperative defecatory disorder after sphincter-preserving operation (SPO) for rectal cancer. Using three-dimensional vector manometry, pressure profile and length of the anal canal were evaluated more than 1 year after SPO according to operation method and degree of postoperative defecatory function in 53 patients with rectal cancer. Compared with high anterior resection as a control, the anal canal was shorter in operations with a pelvic floor maneuver, namely, low anterior resection, ultra-low anterior resection, and intersphincteric resection. Patients with postoperative defecatory disorder showed significantly shorter anal canal length than patients with fair function. Length of the circular high-pressure zone (> or = 20 mmHg) < 20 mm in the resting state was a strong predictor of severe postoperative defecatory malfunction, with Wexner score> or =10. Operative maneuvers at the pelvic floor during SPO for rectal cancer may damage anal sphincter or levator ani muscles. The circular high-pressure zone can be measured only by three-dimensional manometry and may offer a useful indicator of sphincter damage after SPO for rectal cancer.Journal of the American College of Surgeons 04/2009; 208(3):362-7. · 4.45 Impact Factor - Nippon Shokaki Geka Gakkai zasshi 01/2009; 42(6):632-639.

ABSTRACT: After low anterior resection for rectal cancer, approximately 50% of patients experience defecatory malfunction such as multiple evacuations, urgency, and soiling. Since the neorectum is constructed with the remaining colonic segment, it can only substitute for the rectum to a limited extent. A straight anastomosis is most frequently used when the rectal remnant is sufficient, such as in high anterior resection. When the height of anastomosis is close to the anal sphincter, a J-pouch, a side-to-end, or a transverse coloplasty pouch are constructed to achieve better postoperative bowel function. The advantage of J-pouch reconstruction is not only the increased volume but also may be decreased motility when compared with straight reconstruction. In terms of postoperative function, the side-to-end and transverse coloplasty pouch have both been reported to exhibit similar functional results to J-pouch reconstruction. To obtain optimal functional results, pouch reconstruction should be considered, especially when the height of anastomosis is at the levator plane.Nippon Geka Gakkai zasshi 10/2008; 109(5):274-7. - Gastroenterology 04/2008; 134(4). · 12.82 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The preoperative image diagnosis in the biliary disease devolved from analog imaging such as PTCD or ERCP to digital data analysis such as MDCT, MRI, DIC-CT, or MRCP. In late years synchronous visualization of the biliary tracts and associated blood vessels was enabled in fusion method or MRCPA. Carbon dioxide enhanced MDCT cholangiopancreatography depicts the biliary and pancreatic duct by the negative contrasting effect of the carbon dioxide, and is ideal for the surgical navigation. Real time correspondence to the operator's demand is important, and multidirectional observation and volume rendering method are effective for the use of it during surgery. The introduction of image analysis software OsiriX improves complexity and image construction time, and it may be practical. Image overlay surgery consisted of augmented reality and mixed reality is developing toward practical use in navigated surgery. In recent years, NOTES (Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery) was developed, the support system of the navigation of such flexible endoscope is desired earnestly.Nippon Geka Gakkai zasshi 04/2008; 109(2):77-83. - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Less invasive pancreatic head resection, such as duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (DPPHR) has been introduced for the treatment of pancreatoduodenal lesions, especially for benign conditions, for reducing surgical stress and maintaining exocrine and endocrine function of the residual pancreas in consideration of postoperative quality of life (QOL). We investigated the feasibility of a new technique employing three-dimensional (3D) virtual pancreatography using multi-detector CT (MDCT) with carbon dioxide (CO2) gas as a negative contrast agent for detection of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas requiring minimally invasive surgery. Branch IPMN is subjected in this study. Contrast-enhanced MDCT scan of the abdomen diagnosed 4- to 20-mm multilocular septated cysts in the head-uncinate process of the pancreas. Endoscopic retrograde pancreatography (ERP) showed multiple cystic lesions in the head-uncinate process with mild dilatation in the remaining pancreatic duct. For localizing diagnosis of these small and multiple pancreatic cysts, we placed an endoscopic pancreatic stent (EPS), and MDCT with injection of CO2 via EPS was examined for the virtual CO2 pancreatography, consisting of OsiriX software system employing 3D virtual anatomic reconstruction with CO2 gas as a negative contrast agent. Virtual CO2 MDCT pancreatography demonstrated that all cystic lesions of the pancreas were contained within the area of the head-uncinate process of the pancreas. We performed DPPHR, and surgical margin of the patient's remnant pancreas was determined as non-malignant by intraoperative histology. There was no residual pancreatic cyst and tumor after surgery. The resected tumor was diagnosed as branch duct type intraductal papillary mucinous adenocarcinoma. According to our minimally invasive DPPHR obtained by virtual CO2 pancreatography, the pancreatic endocrine and exocrine functions of this patient were maintained at almost the same levels as those in his preoperative status. With respect to preservation of the endocrine and exocrine functions of the pancreas, DPPHR is a highly effective surgical procedure due to limited surgical resection. Our new technique of virtual CO2 MDCT pancreatography is a feasible procedure for preservation of the remnant pancreatic function. This is the first report of virtual CO2 pancreatography providing minimally invasive pancreatic surgery.Hepato-gastroenterology 01/2008; 55(81):270-4. · 0.91 Impact Factor
