sick lip stick plant
I bought a plant at a bazaar. I was told it is a lip stick plant need little watering and prefers indirect low light. The plant started loosig a lot of leaves, and did not bud. I read online that it like humidity, and sun from the north or east. So I moved it to my window facing east, and began misting is every now and then. It is still loosing a lot of leaves, the ends are browing, and it has not budded. Please help
Mabdur, you were given terrible advice. Lipstick plants prefer bright light and even some full sun.
Flowers appear more in spring and summer, although if given enough light and humidity, they could bloom.
Before worrying about blooms, you need to find out the reason your lipstick is shedding so much.
When did you buy it and was it potted or bare root? What size is the pot? Some sellers plant in large pots to make a plant look bigger. A lot of soil is used, then roots end up swimming in soil.
If you're over or under-watering, leaves will drop.
Are leaves yellowing before falling off? Or just have brown ends?
Did you fertilize?
Check for bugs?
There's numerous reasons this is happening.
Check for webbs, white masses, or brown lumps. Your plant should be potted in a container with drainage holes.
Make sure soil isn't soaking wet.
A picture might help. Toni

Bay Area Bites Guide To 5 Movie Theaters Serving Food and Alcoholic Beverages
Date night just got easier with this list of five local theaters that serve more than just popcorn and Junior Mints.
No matter what you call them — ICEEs, Slurpees or slushies — frozen fruit drinks are one of the best ways to quench your thirst on a hot day. This is especially true if you're a kid. But what do you do if you're a mom and aren't particularly fond of the idea of your kids gulping down frozen high-fructose corn syrup beverages all summer? Make your own, of course.
Megan Gordon chat with SF Pops' Rebecca Rouas about her new successful seasonal popsicle company, SF Pops.
I made three types of ice cream and, no surprise to many vegans out there but sort of a surprise to me, they were all amazingly good, exceeding my expectations on every level. My ten-year old daughter Maddie even exclaimed about the chocolate version "This is better than store-bought ice cream! It's my favorite!" I have to agree. My three flavors were almond, strawberry and chocolate. All are vegan. The first two were delightful but the chocolate was really special, and all are cholesterol and fat free.
After a few trips to some yogurt shops where four servings cost around $20 — because let's face it, the new frozen yogurt chains are more expensive than the old ones — I decided to try making my own concoctions.

We stayed three nights, two of which were at the Monte. We chose it because of the indoor pool. Lovely big pool with poolside bar and snack service at a reasonable price. Junior suite had completely separate living area with own tv. Very comfy bed and spacious bathroom. Huge balcony - terrace really. Only the front has nice views of the port. The rest face office buildings and run down area. Very poor satellite selection. No movies or anything in English but two rolling news channels. Hotel is not in a great area - in fact I wouldn't have felt safe walking back at night from downtown. Cabs are cheap though so didn't have to. I wouldn't rush back to Malaga but I would recommend this hotel if you want a bit of peace and quiet just 20 minutes from the busy old town.

This is an extremely good quality hotel. The rooms are spacious, staff are helpful and friendly. There is a good spa facility and pool and excellent breakfast. Value for money here is superb. It is very convenient for what is now the main Malaga railway station, but it is a 15 minute walk to the centre. Whilst there is food available in the evening of good quality, the menu is limited. Be prepared to walk to the centre for an evening meal if you are staying more than a day or two.

This hotel was superb for the price. Juan on reception was excellent and extremely helpful. Location is great for the beach and for the town centre. 5 min walk and you reach the beach front and 10 minute walk in the other direction, you are in the town centre. Yes, it's in a residential area but always felt safe...even at 3am coming back from the clubs!! The rooms are clean and spacious and the bathroom is top quality. Would highly recommend.

Useful for a 1 night stay after flying into malaga airport late, en-route to Granada. Typical large new soulless hotel, overlooking the boring container port. Reception could not find our reservation for 15 minutes, which was a less than ideal start. but they were friendly and competent afterwards, and recommended a couple of decent tapas bars at about a 10-15 minute walk. Rooms spacious with nice bathroom and comfortable beds. Pool is in a concrete courtyard, overlooked by apartments and hotel on all sides.

Kevin Rudolf - Welcome to the World ft. Kid CuDi
Artist: Kevin Rudolf
Featuring: Kid CuDi
Producer: Kevin Rudolf
Album: In The City
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 36 votes )
Since the record caught on in late '08, it's been virtually impossible to walk into a club, concert, or sporting event without hearing Kevin Rudolf's Let It Rock blaring over the loudspeakers (it got my vote for Best Crossover of '08). As if that wasn't history enough, his debut album, In The City, was the first album not by any Big Tymers, Hot Boys, or Teena Marie to be released by Cash Money since Boo & Gotti's Perfect Timing dropped back in '03. Now, Rudolf's released a new version of his previously-featured Welcome to the World. While the original cut saw Rick Ross contributing a guest verse, the revamped single version features a up-and-coming MC who retired and unretired last week. When Kid CuDi hears his ex complain about life since she left him, the rapper responds, "What did you expect?" Whether you prefer the Boss' guest verse or the Kid's, you can't deny that this version of Welcome to the World will hype up the crowd just as much as its predecessor. 'Till next time, rock on, Booth!

Marmalade Boy's anime version ends with a wedding but not between the main characters.
Marmalade Boy's anime version ends with a wedding but not between the main characters.
Just out of curiosity, why are you so eager to see weddings?Originally Posted by dizzcity
I'm interested in whether portrayals of Japanese romance in their visual culture impact their attitudes towards marriage, cohabitation, pre- or extra-marital sex, and divorce. And perhaps whether this is an accurate reflection of the current state of Japanese cultural attitudes towards marriage (which is increasing towards postponement or avoidance), or a deviant subculture. If you posit marriage as the mature expression of romantic commitment for a young couple, then out of the number of stories that young people read in Japan, how many reinforce that attitude, how many rebel against it, and how many simply ignore the question?
Plus, I'm just curious. And I like to see my favourite girls in wedding dresses.
Manga Genre Focus: Romance, Comedy, Slice-of-life. Primarily shounen, then seinen and shoujo.
Currently watching:
Actually, Emma DOES end with the marriage, at least if you include Emma Bangaihen, which were released in tankobons as volumes 8-10 of Emma.
Today is always the most enjoyable day. Just ask Yotsuba.
well, rare to read wedding end in japanese manga. maybe less than 5% of all manga?

How To Add Extra Beefy Crown Molding
Sherry is officially half-done with Clara's canopy wall update, so thanks so much to all 900+ of you who commented with votes and additional suggestions! We shared tons of photoshopped images with Clara and she decided we should combine a few ideas, and well, the kid's a genius and we can't wait to share the photos. We might just let her decide what we should do in every room.
But I, ever the party pooper, was determined to check a certain project off of my list that was over a month old before Sherry got to work on that wall: adding chunky double-wide crown molding in there.
So yes, feel free to boo me because I cut the line and knocked it out before Sherry could say "what about my canopy project?!" – which explains why she's only half-done right now. But she woke up early yesterday to get things moving, and just needs to check off a few more things before she can shoot it and share it – hopefully by Monday).
Back to me and my chunky crown. Around a month and a half ago when we painted her walls and ceiling, we didn't bother to cut in where the white walls meet the pink ceiling so a thin yellowed line of paint remained. Why? Because I planned to install crown molding right afterwards. Soft emphasis on "right afterwards."
We've posted about installing basic crown before (both in photographic and video form) but I wanted to upgrade things this time and beef this crown up bigtime. One, because I had mastered the basic kind first (doing this right off the bat sounded scary, but now that I've done a bunch of crown it sounded like a fun challenge), and two, because this house sports beefier crown in many of the rooms that have it, including our dining room, living room, bedroom, office, and foyer – so we wanted the new crown to match the original crown. To give it more presence, the builder appeared to have installed a piece of baseboard before adding the crown on top. See how much thicker it looks?
From further away it doesn't look weirdly baseboard-ish or too thick or anything, it actually seems nicely proportionate with other woodworky details in this house (like the chair rail in some of the rooms, the paneled doors, and the window mullions).
So I purchased baseboard that was 3.25″ tall, which just meant I'd have to float it away from the ceiling a bit to achieve the look we wanted (I could've bought wider stuff but I would've just been paying for wood you'd never see). So I cut some spacers to help me to keep it a consistent distance from the ceiling all around the room and nailed that in with my nail gun (more on the one we have here). I was sure to use a level to double-check my placement too, since ceilings aren't always straight and relying on spacers alone could produce some wavy results. Oh and I used a stud finder and a pencil to mark my studs with a dot on the wall lightly below where I'd be nailing them in so I knew where to drive those nails in to be sure I hit a stud for a nice strong hold.
With my first piece of baseboard nailed up, I held up some crown to make sure we liked the look. Up close the baseboard part looked a little thick, so we walked into the other rooms to be sure that's how it looked in there and to be sure we liked it. Sure enough, we loved the finish look, so we pressed on.
Getting all of the baseboard installed around the room went pretty quickly. It only required some simple 45° miter cuts in each corner, along with some 45° scarf joints where my boards weren't long enough to span an entire wall. So it was a nice warm up to the more complex calculations and cutting that were to come with the actual crown.
I relied on my Kreg Crown Pro again to help me make accurate cuts for the crown. You can read a more about how to make those precise cuts in this post (or watch the video in this one). But the gist is that this Kreg tool (which I bought myself – we have no affiliation with them) helps you hold your board at the right angle on your miter saw. Since crown sits against your ceiling at an angle, it helps to cut on that same angle to get precise cuts so things match up nicely in the corners.
This part definitely took me longer and, thanks to a mid-day meeting, it wasn't until later in the evening that I finally got all of the crown hung.
The next day it was time to caulk the seams to make the whole job look more finished. In addition to my corners and scarf joints, I also caulked where the baseboard meets the wall, where the crown meets the ceiling and where the baseboard meets the crown. That last step was especially helpful in making our base + crown combo appear more like one chunkier piece of molding instead of two pieces hung on top of each other.
Then we got our touch-up paint on. After you caulk nail holes and gaps you always want to paint again to seal all of that in and get a nice glossy and uniform look (caulk can read as more matte and can even collect dust while the glossier part deflects it so it's well worth a coat to cover that up).
Here's a detail of the finished job. We're really happy with it! We thought we might not love it as much in a room with white walls (since it pops more easily when there's color on the walls) but we actually really love the architecture it adds to the space. Sort of like how we find ourselves oohing and ahhing over those cool old buildings with white walls and thick crown that draws your eye up to the old tin ceilings… it's not exactly like that in here (we wish!) but the pink ceiling is a fun focal point and the crown is like a big ol' arrow pointing at it, which we really like.
It definitely makes the room look more polished – so even though it wasn't the most fun or dramatically transformative project, it feels good to have it checked off my list. As for Clara's reaction, she likes the "wood things we hung up there" but Sherry's probably the most excited because she now has free rein in there. And things are HAPPENING on that canopy wall, let me just tell you.
Oh and in the money department, the total cost for the project was $76 worth of crown and $61 worth of baseboard for a total of $137. The boards came pre-primed and we used some of the Simply White semi-gloss paint that we stocked up on back when painting the rest of the trim upstairs, but adding $25 to that amount should cover a quart of paint plus caulk if you don't have those on hand. Rather than paint after it was hung this time, I had the foresight to spray it way back in early September when I was set up to spray the planks for our sunroom ceiling. See, I told you this had been on my list for a while. Just don't ask me how long I walked by that freshly sprayed trim sitting there mocking me in the garage.
Only bad news is that now I'm jonesing to put more beefed up crown around the rest of the rooms upstairs. Our bedroom was the only room to already have it, so that means I have two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a loooooong hallway with weird angles to do. Oddly enough, I'm excited about it. But maybe that's just my affection for nail guns and miter saws talking.

Totally unrelated to your post, but did you see the Novogratz collection at CB2? 7's all over the place and a white ram head with gold horns. It has Petersik written all over it.
But ohhhhh, the prices!! *covers eyes*
Very awesome!
We had to tear out all of the trim in our place, as it was mismatched. The same reality exists for the baseboards, but I haven't yet to tear it out. I just don't have the guts to do that, and for now bad baseboard is better than no baseboard.
One day it'll be better, but for now we have bigger realities on hand… like concrete ponds removal while the sun is still shining.
Looks great! I love 2 piece crown moldings!
Looks great guys! And I am loving the new shade on Clara's moose lamp.
Looks great! I would love to add crown molding throughout our home but our ceilings seem too low and it wouldn't look right with the door and window trim. Maybe I missed this in a previous post, but how tall are your ceilings??
Our house has the same beefed up crown molding on the main level, the only difference is that our builder did not add base boards but added a small half round on the bottom and then just painted the wall between that and the regular crown molding the same high gloss white and it gives the appearance of beefy crown molding with baseboard. Definitely much easier…may want to experiment with that for the other rooms. Just an idea. Looks great in Clara's room!
This is how mine is done as well! Love the look of it!
That's how our house is too. Looks just like the pics of your downstairs crown. You can't even tell unless you climbed up there and rubbed your hands against it.
Are you sure that's an extra baseboard in the downstairs moldings or did they use the "trick"?
Our builder used the same trick as in Crystal's home. We love it.
I'm another one that has the baseboard "trick" crown molding and it looks great. Very easy to install. Not sure when it started trending but my Dad put it my house growing up over 15 years ago (before Pinterest!). I tried to tell him that he was cool :-)
Love your crown molding skills! Quite impressive. I need to get my husband to tackle our naked rooms. I bought him the KregJig to motivate him. Here's hoping he gets exciting about doing it as much as you, John.
Wow! This really amps up the visual impact of the space! Super inspiring — would love to do this in the future to some of the spaces in our builder-basic new build townhouse. Any thoughts on what do do in rooms with some fairly drastic bulkheads?
What's a bulkhead??
I thought soffits were more of an outdoor feature, but yes — a bulkhead basically lowers the ceiling at the walls by about a foot, to contain ductwork, etc. I'd love to say that it's like having a bit of a coffered ceiling, but it's definitely NOT a design feature…. ;)
Ahh. That makes sense. Thanks so much!
I've seen the bulkhead vertical area painted a different color, which made it look purposeful. Like this:
Does the bulkhead go all the way around or is it just in certain spots? In that picture I linked it's almost like a room divider.
Putting recessed lighting up there would be super cool too, but you'd have to search out some with a smaller footprint since there is likely important stuff up there and standard can light remodel kits take up a ton of space above the wall.
Each time you do a post about crown molding I feel a bit more confident that this is something that I can accomplish. With the right tools and some patience I am already starting to chant, "I think I can, I think I can" in my head!
Nice how-to!
Crown molding is one of those seemingly little things that really makes a big difference.
Looks so nice and finished! Question – When you go to repaint this room sometime in the future – do you remove the crown molding, of just tape it off, to paint the walls? Always wondered that.
This reminded me of your Clara project: http://blog.westelm.com/2012/07/23/window-daybed-in-a-teenage-girls-bedroom-by-kriste-michelini/
Love it – crown molding (we call it cornice here Downunder) is really the icing on the cake o finishing off a room. It just adds that extra bit of something…
Lookin' good! I'm pretty excited to see the hall turn out the same way, so it's not just you. And I'm also looking forward to the sunroom tiling reveal (or did I miss that one?)
Haha! I shall be keeping my fingers crossed for the rain to hold off for the rest of the week for you guys then! :)
I heard something about how this summer/fall, most of the eastern US has been stuck in this weird weather cycle that just keeps repeating itself over and over – we've had some amazingly beautiful days up here in Vermont because of it, but that must mean that you're stuck with all the rain :-(
I love the chunkier crown molding!!!! In the last photo what is in the left upper corner of the open door??? See the little white thing??
Oooh… I can't wait to see how you transform that closet into a playhouse for Clara!
This really helps the ceiling pop- I love the unexpected pink on the ceiling! So fun. I wish we could put up crown molding in more of our house (its just in the living room and kitchen) but our upstairs rooms have slanted ceilings in a lot of spots so I imagine it would look weird/be a difficult install. John, are you up for a challenge?? Want to come down and put up crown at our house?!? haha
The new crown looks great – and makes everything look even more polished!
Awesome before and after shots! Super classy :) We did the same two-pronged approach on our kitchen cabinets and totally love it. Here is the link to the post: http://wp.me/p3EWN2-Pl
I dig the beefier crown molding! We're going to start the process of adding crown molding in our newly drywalled downstairs, and with our paneled doors (and soon-to-be-added box molding in our "library"), I think the beefier method would look great. However, I've never installed crown molding before, so on a scale of making cereal to climbing the Savage Mountain, how difficult would this be to install for a crown molding novice?
tell john, feel free to come to my house once youre done with yours! I need some of this in my kitchen and master! my living and dinning room both have vaulted ceilings, but I think this would look awesome in the kitchen and master! I think I have 8′ ceilings as well. love it!
Love that you guys are installing crown! My home came with zero crown installed and it's on my own long list of updates. It's great to see some different options to just the basic crown. It's also super helpful to see your technique. I watched a video where they coped all of the joints and it all seemed incredibly complicated…
I live in a Miami-vice 80's contemporary (is that contradictory?) house, so no crown molding for me. I love the look, though!
Of course, we're all on pins and needles for the canopy! Canopy! CANOPY! CANOPY!!!! Will this be Clara's first official design project? (somehow I think not?)
Does Clara's room have an angled ceiling? I have a vaulted ceiling in my living room and would love to add crown molding, but I've been concerned with how the crown will look with all the angles.
I have wondered the same thing! We have super tall angled ceilings and I love them…just really wish I could put some crown molding up there!
My in-laws have vaulted ceilings and their crown looks great!! Since it's their living room also and that flows right into the stairway, kitchen, and another hallway, I think it looks better to include it than to just leave one room out (assuming all those other areas have the crown).
I googled "crown molding on angled ceilings" and got some pics…I thought they looked fine. I have only google experience ;-)
How tall are your ceilings? I'd love beefier crown molding, we have really wimpy moldings now, but our ceilings are only 8ft high and I wonder if it will make them look shorter.
Never mind just saw a previous comment ;) Love the way they look!
Looks really nice. Our builder was nice enough to give these as standard for most of the common areas and the master. We love it. Looks very classy.

Talks about turning 50
Mick Jagger said it best: What a drag it is getting old. George Lopez agrees. In I'm Not Gonna Lie: And Other Lies You Tell When You Turn 50 (Celebra), the comedian and former late night host talks about the hallmarks of his first half-century. After living through years of doing stand-up gigs on the road, a bitter divorce and kidney disease, he was ready to leave it all behind and begin a new chapter. Literally. Lopez learns that when you hit the big 5-0, it's a different scene. "You just say 'fifty' and people react like a bad smell just blew in," he writes. The avid golfer (52), also shares stories about his relationship with a younger woman, visiting a pet psychic, his health struggles and behind-the-scenes antics at Lopez Tonight. Up next for Lopez is an FX Network comedy, Saint George, about a recently divorced Mexican-American entrepreneur. Meet the man in the flesh at 4 p.m. Saturday at Books & Books, Coral Gables.

This is my third pair of MBT but the first dress shoe.
I am very happy with it, and will definitely by other dress shoes.
If you are looking for that classic MBT rocker sole this is not the right shoe. The rocker motion on this shoe does not seem to be there. It is not pronounced like the other MBTs. The strap on this shoe is not very adjustable, it is more for the look. It is very true to size and has an average toe box. Good for those with a medium width foot.

There is provided a method and system for collecting optical data for use in time resolved optical imaging wherein light is directionally propagated through free-space optics to impinge on a plurality of illumination at the surface of a biological tissue such as that comprised in small animals. Light re-emitted from the tissue is collected and directionally propagated through free space optics towards a detector to produce time resolved optical signals useful for optical image reconstructions.
1. A method for collecting optical data for use in time resolved optical imaging of an animal, the method comprising:
i) positioning said animal for data acquisition through free-space optics
ii) directionally propagating through free-space optics a pulsed light beam of a selected intensity to illuminate at one or more wavelength a plurality of predetermined illumination points in a region of interest of the animal;
ii) selectively collecting, through free-space optics, light emanating from a plurality of predetermined collection points;
iii) directionally propagating through free-space optics the collected light towards a detector;
iv) measuring, at one or more wavelength, the collected light at the detector to produce a time resolved optical signal for one or more illumination points/collection points configuration; and

[0001] This application claims priority under 35USC�119(e) of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/317,856 filed Dec. 12, 2002 the petition to convert to a provisional patent application in accordance with 35USC�111(b)(6) and 37CFR1.53(c)(2) being filed concurrently herewith. This application is related to commonly assigned co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/624,902 bearing agent docket number 15186-41US, the specification of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
[0002] The invention relates to the field of optical imaging of turbid media such as biological tissues as part of animals. More specifically, the invention relates to time resolved optical data acquisition for use in optical imaging.
[0003] Different types of imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound imaging are available that can non-invasively gather information from within biological tissues as a basis for image reconstruction. More recently, another imaging technique, namely optical imaging has been the subject of intense research and commercial development.
[0004] Optical imaging is based on the information that can be derived from the analysis of the signal resulting from the interaction of light with matter as it is propagated within an object. Optical imaging of turbid medium can be performed using three different approaches namely continuous wave (CW), time domain (TD) and frequency domain (FD). CW is the simplest and least expensive of the three techniques but provides only limited information with regards to the spatial distribution of internal optical attenuation of the object being imaged. TD and FD, by conveying information on the time required by photons to travel within the object (FD through the Fourier transform) are considered to be �time resolved� and can be used to calculat the spatial distribution of optical characteristics of the object, such as absorption and scatter coefficients, via well known photon diffusion equations (for a review paper on this topic, see the article by Hawrysz and Sevick-Muraca, Neoplasia, vol.2 No 5, pp388-417, 2000).
[0005] Optical imaging is particularly attractive in view of its non-invasiveness which permits the acquisition of in vivo information without damaging biological tissues. Furthermore the technique may be useful to monitor drug distribution, detect the presence of abnormalities within organs, or map physiological activities within mammals.
[0006] However, widespread utilization of optical imaging systems has been impeded by some undesirable characteristics of existing systems. For example, optical imaging devices often require cumbersome arrangements of optical fibers that are used to transport the light to and from the object. Such systems have been described for example by Ntziachristos and Weissleder in patent application WO 02/41769 and by Hillman et al. Phys. Med. Biol, 46 (2001)1117-1130. The type of arrangement for the optical components described in these references requires a time consuming alignment of the region of interest with the optic fibers used to illuminate the object and detect the optical signal. This type of arrangement is particularly problematic when imaging is performed on living tissues of mammals.
[0007] Ease of data acquisition and in particular ease of the positioning the object relative to the optic components is especially important in applications requiring high throughput such as in clinical settings or in research that make use of small mammals such as mice. In this respect, commercially available optical imaging systems for imaging small mammals have been developed. For example, a bioluminescence imaging system developed by Xenogen Corp. (Biophotonics, vol.9, No.7 pp48-51, 2002) has been designed to collect light emanating from small mammals. However, this imaging device suffers from certain disadvantages. For example, it requires the presence of bioluminescent molecules which hav a spatially restricted biodistribution profile therefore greatly reducing the flexibility in imaging desired region of interests (ROI). Furthermore, the technique is limited by the number of luminescent molecules that are currently available. Moreover, the system does not allow time resolved data to be acquired.
[0008] In view of the above, it would be desirable to provide an optical imaging system for imaging turbid media such as biological tissues that allows time resolved optical data to be acquired with increased flexibility and efficiency.
[0009] According to one broad aspect of the invention there is provided a system and method for time resolved optical imaging of biological tissues as part of an animal. The design of the optical components of the present system allows a beam of light to be directionally propagated through air, that is to say through free-space optics, to impinge on desired points of illuminations in a region of interest (ROI) of the tissue. Light re-emitted from the tissue is collected at collection points and directionally propagated through air (i.e. through free-space optics) towards a detector. The fact that the light is propagated through air allows for a greater flexibility in scanning different ROI by eliminating the need for cumbersome fiber optics arrangements. Thus there is no need for directly contacting the animal with optical components thereby leaving sufficient space to manipulate or access the animal.
[0010] The optical design of the system permits illumination and light collection through air of nearby points in the ROI with minimal interference between the illumination beam, or the light reflected at the skin/air interface, and the collected light.
[0011] In one embodiment, there is provided a time resolved optical imaging method which comprises illuminating, at one or more wavelengths, a region of interest of an animal at a plurality of predetermined illumination points using a pulsed light beam. The beam is propagated through air and directed by using appropriate optical components to the illumination points A plurality of predetermined collection points are collected by optic components having a configuration enabling selective collection of light from well defined surface areas in the ROI. The collected light is then directed to a detector to produce an optical signal that can be used to generate an optical image using reconstruction algorithms.
[0012] In a further aspect of the invention there is provided a system for collecting optical data for use in time resolved imaging comprising one or more light sources for providing a light beam at one or more wavelengths, illuminating optic components for directionally propagating the beam through air such that a region of interest of the biological tissue within an animal is illuminated at a plurality of illumination points thereby injecting light into the tissue, collecting optic components for collecting light re-emitted at a plurality of predetermined collection points in the region of interest and for directionally propagating through air the collected light and a time correlated detector for detecting the collected light.
[0013] The system of the invention may advantageously be configured to acquire data for topographic or tomographic imaging. Topographic imaging is achieved by maintaining constant the distance between collection points and illumination points. Synchronized mirrors galvanometers are provided in the illumination and collection optics to achieve a constant distance between the illumination points and the detection points. Topographic data acquisition configurations can be used to obtain 2 dimensional (2D) or 3 dimensional (3D) images.
[0014] Tomographic imaging requires that light re-emitted from the animal be sampled at several different collection points/detection points configurations. The system of the present invention advantageously provides moveable mirrors in the illumination and collection optics that are independently controllable thereby providing means to achieve a plurality of illumination points/collection points configurations.
[0015] In another aspect there is provided a method and system for optical imaging of biological tissue containing fluorescent molecules. The tissue can be illuminated at an excitation wavelength while light re-emitted can be collected and detected at an emission wavelength. The system also enables detection of both the emission wavelength and the excitation wavelength.
[0016] Further features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description, taken in combination with the appended drawings, in which:
[0017]FIG. 1 is a flow chart diagram of an embodiment of the method of the instant invention;
[0018]FIG. 2 is perspective view of an embodiment of the system of the invention;

[0022]FIG. 6 is a schematic representation of an embodiment of the system of the invention in which the optical components are fixed and the mammal is rotated to acquire data for tomographic imaging.
[0023] It will be noted that throughout the appended drawings, like features are identified by like reference numerals.
[0024] The invention relates to the field of optical imaging of turbid media such as biological tissues as parts of animals. While the following description of the preferred embodiment provides examples that relate to imaging of small mammals such as mice, it will be appreciated that the method can also be applied to larger animals and in particular to laboratory animals such as dogs, pigs and primates.
[0025] With reference to FIG. 1 an embodiment of the method of the present invention for collecting optical data for use in time resolved optical imaging is generally described. At 2 pulsed light from a source of a selected intensity is directionally propagated in air (i.e. through free space optics) to illuminate a plurality of predetermined illumination points in a ROI of comprising biological tissue within an animal. The light emanating from a plurality of collection points after diffusion through the tissue is selectively collected through free space optics at 4 and directionally propagated through free space at 6 towards a detector. The collected light is finally measured at 8 using the detector to produce a time resolved optical signal. Light emanating from points other than that being sampled is optically excluded from detection.
[0026] The embodiments of the system used for collecting the optical data will now be described referring to small mammals as the object to be imaged but it will be appreciated that a wide variety of biological tissues may be amenable to optical imaging using the technique described herein. These can be but are not limited to breast tissue, brain, tumors and the like.
[0027] A general schematic representation of the system of the present invention used for imaging small mammals is shown in FIG. 2. The system comprises a light source 10 capable of generating a beam of light 12 at one or more wavelengths, illuminating optics for directionally propagating the beam of light through air, i.e. through free space optics, to desired illumination points on the surface of the mammal 14, collecting optics for collecting the light 16 re-emitted from the mammal for directionally propagating the collected light to a detector 18, a moveable mammal supporting tray 20 mounted on a translational stage 22 and a computer 19 for controlling the source, the optics, the detector and the tray.
[0028] The illuminating optics comprises a moveable reflective mirror 24 which is preferably a mirror galvanometer. The beam is reflected by the mirror galvanometer at an angle θ and directed towards a thin angled mirror 26 which reflects the beam in a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface of the mammal being scanned. It can be appreciated that the partial rotation of the mirror galvanometer will modify the angle θ and direct the beam to a different point on the thin angled mirror and, consequently, to a different illumination point on the surface of the mammal. Successive partial rotations of the mirror galvanometer 24 thus produces a line scan substantially parallel to the thin angled mirror. Lens 28 is optionally provided and positioned between the mirror galvanometer and the thin angled mirror such that the mirror galvanometer is at the focal distance of the lens to provide telecentric imaging. Filters such as neutral density filter 29 may also be positioned between the source and mirror galvanometer 24 to adjust the intensity of the light beam.
[0029] In an aspect of the invention, the light source is preferably a variable intensity laser emitting light at a specific wavelength. To produce a multi-wavelengths illumination a collection of lasers 31, such as diode lasers, each emitting light at different wavelengths may be used (FIG. 3). Appropriate filters such as filters 33 and 35 may be positioned between the source and the mammal and between the re-emitted light and the detector for the selection of wavelengths or to adjust the intensity of the light. A switching or dichroic mirror system may be used for either sequential or simultaneous illumination of the mammal at different wavelengths. Alternatively, a unique multi-wavelengths source of light may also be used. In the latter case, ranges of wavelengths or specific wavelengths may be selected by using filters, gratings or the like, as is well known by persons skilled in the art.
[0030] The preferred intensity of the source is determined by Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits for biological tissues as established by regulatory instances. Standards for safe exposure are outlined, for example, in American National Standard for the safe use of lasers (ANSI Z 136.1-2000). For example, a laser emitting in the near infrared (NIR) should preferably be adjusted at a power of about 200 mW or less for non-invasive imaging of biological tissues such as that comprising humans and small mammals.
[0031] Tray 20 supports the mammal while it is being imaged. The mammal is preferably anesthetized for the duration of the data collection to reduce movements to a minimum. In alternative embodiment parts of or the whole animal could be mechanically restrained to reduce movements. Optionally the tray can be heated to maintain the body temperature of the mammal. Furthermore the tray can be displaced longitudinally on a translational stage 22 to position the mammal such that a plurality of line scans parallel to each other can be generated. This stepwise process is repeated a selected number of times to produce a raster scan of a region of interest (ROI). The raster scan can alternatively be achieved by longitudinally displacing the thin angled mirror 26. FIG. 3 illustrates an example of a raster scan pattern at the surface of a mammal. The user defined ROI 40 delimits the area to be scanned which comprises the predetermined illumination points 42. The arrangement of the optic components also permits other scanning patterns to be performed. It will be appreciated that the ROI may consist of the whole animal.
[0032] Light re-emitted from the mammal is collected by the collecting optics which comprise collecting lens 34, reflective mirror 36 which is preferably a mirror galvanometer and lens 38. Collecting lens 34 is located above the ROI and above the thin angled mirror. The angular position of the mirror 36 relative to the incoming light and the detector determines which collection point is being sampled since only part of the light (corresponding to a given collection point) impinging on the mirror is reflected at the proper angle to reach the detector. Selective detection of the light from a given collection point may be further enhanced by optically coupling the mirror galvanometer with lenses and/or pinholes.
[0033] The overall arrangement of the optics, which permits propagation of the light through air, allows for easy positioning and manipulation of the animal. Furthermore, since the system does not rely on optic fibers, a plurality of ROls can be scanned without manipulating the animal simply by moving the tray so that a new ROI is brought in the focus of the optics. The movements of the tray can be controlled externally using the computer.
[0034] Upon impinging on the surface of the mammal, part of the light penetrates the skin and part is reflected at the air/skin boundary. The photons that are propagated within the mammal are absorbed and scattered, thereby producing a large number of photon paths. In biological tissues absorption may arise as a result of the presence of natural (endogenous) or exogenous chromophores while scattering is triggered by the presence of macromolecular structures such as proteins, lipids and the like which create refractive index inhomogeneities. The fraction of the light that is not absorbed ultimately exits the mammal by diffusing through the skin barrier at various distances from the illumination point. It can be appreciated that photons that have traveled deeper in the tissue will take a longer time to exit at the surface of the mammal. This provides the basis for the time resolved detection of the optical signal from which useful information about the optical properties of a region of interest can be extracted to be incorporated into image reconstruction algorithms. In optically homogeneous media the distance between the illumination point and the point at which given photons exit is related to the effective depth of the average path of the photons. Thus the greater the distance between the points the greater the depth. While biological tissues are not optically homogeneous the distance between illumination points and the point of photon exit can also be considered to be related to the depth of the average path of photons.
[0035] In a preferred embodiment the time resolved method used in the system of the present invention is time domain (TD). In TD measurements the source is briefly pulsed and the optical signal is detected as a function of time to generate a temporal point spread function (TPSF). The source is preferably a laser source capable of generating pulses characterized by a width in the picoseconds range. Time domain detectors such as time gated intensified CCDs (ICCDs), time correlated single photon counting devices(TCSPC's), ultrafast semiconductor detectors (avalanche and PIN photodiodes), photomultipliers and streak cameras can be used. In a preferred embodiment a TCSPC device is used in the system of the present invention. TCSPC's are capable of measuring the time taken by a photon to reach the detector as it travels through the illuminating optic, the tissue and the collecting optic. Time measurement is provided by a �clock� circuitry electronically coupling the source and the detector. Such circuits are well known in the art. TCSPC's are very sensitive and advantageously allows the use of low power sources to minimize damage to the tissue being scanned.
[0036] In an embodiment of the invention, attenuation measurements similar to measurements obtained using continuous wave can be generated using the system and method of the present invention by integrating the TPSF.
[0037] Statistically, the efficiency of detection, that is to say the ratio of the number of photons produced by the source and directed at a particular illumination point and the number of photons detected from a given collection point, is a function, inter alia, of the power of the light source and the distance from the illumination point at which the light is collected. The intensity of the source may be adjusted so that the flux of photons reaching the detector is optimized for the characteristics of the detector in a preferred embodiment, in which TD imaging of small mammals is performed using a TCSPC detection system, it is generally required that the probability of detecting a photon for each illumination light pulse be approximately 1% in order to avoid distortions caused by electronics dead-time losses in the temporal profile being measured as is well known by a person skilled in the art. The illumination duration (which is provided by the number of light pulses) directed at a given point on the mammal may vary in order to provide a sufficient number of detected photons to produce an adequate signal and yet keep the duration as short as possible to reduce the acquisition time. In accordance with the example of small animal imaging and using a light source emitting pulses at a frequency of 80 MHz, the power of the beam should be adjusted so that approximately 8�105 photons per second are detected. It will be appreciated that the selection of the appropriate frequency is based on, among other factors, the characteristics of the optical components, of the d tector, of the tissue to be imaged and of the type of optical data that is desired.
[0038] The TPSF may also be generated by using a time gated intensified charged coupled device (ICCD). This type of detector can provide spatial resolution enabling simultaneous detection of optical signals emanating from different collection points. Furthermore when a source generating two or more wavelengths is used, the light collected at any given collection points can be divided into constituent wavelengths to produce two or more beams which can be directed to different detection positions of the ICCD. However, since the sensitivity of an ICCD is less than that of a TCSPC device, the intensity of the source should be adjusted accordingly while remaining below levels that could cause tissue damage.
[0039] In view of the low intensity levels of the source, especially in the case where TCSPC devices are used, and the high sensitivity of the detectors, the system and the mammal are placed in an enclosure such as a box 50. The box is preferably light tight to prevent any stray light from interfering with the measurements. The interior of the box can be accessed through door 56.
[0040] In order to construct an image of a region of interest (ROI) within the mammal, optical signals are obtained from a plurality of illumination/detection points within the ROI. The configuration of the illumination/detection points may vary depending of the type of image to be reconstructed. As will be explained below topographic and tomographic images can be generated with the system and method of the present invention and both require different illumination/detection configurations.
[0041] The position of the collection points relative to the illumination points is determined prior to the start of the acquisition and is a function of the desired depth of imaging in the region of interest. For planes of imaging that are close to the surface of the skin, the collection points are located near the illumination points since the deeper a photon travels, the lower is the probability of that photon being re-emitted near the illumination points, and conversely.
[0042] Thus in order to acquire topographic images collection points are maintained at a fixed distance from illumination points so as to gather information from substantially the same depth across the ROI. The mirror galvanometers comprised in the illuminating and the collecting optic may be synchronized to achieve rapid scanning with a constant illumination/detection points distance.
[0043] Tomographic data is obtained when the illumination and collection points are permuted so as to generate a plurality of illumination to collection points distances thereby obtaining information from different depths. By treating the data in an appropriate manner, tomographic images can be generated. For tomographic optical data acquisition the two mirror galvanometers 24 and 26 are preferably controlled independently in order to obtain multi-perspective data. Thus while the mirror galvanometer in the illumination optic directs the light at a desired illumination point, the mirror galvanometer in the collection optic may be programmed to sample light at a plurality of different collection points.
[0044] In one embodiment, the illumination and collection optics are mounted on a movable gantry system 52 which turns around the animal (FIG. 5). In this particular embodiment, the tray preferably exhibits an �I� shape. This particular shape facilitates data acquisition as the illumination and collection optics is rotated around the region of interest (for example: torso region) while allowing the animal to be comfortably supported. With this configuration, angular displacements of an amplitude substantially equals to 360 degrees are possible. In a further embodiment, the mammal may be rotated instead of the gantry. The mammal may be maintained on the tray by attaching its legs to the tray. Rotation around the cranio-caudal axis of the body by 360� is possible. This design configuration can reduce weight, volume and complexity compared to the moveable gantry system.
[0045] In yet another embodiment the mammal can be rotated along the cranio-caudal axis while sitting. The animal is positioned on the stage such that the region of interest is kept straight by softly supporting its head. These designs allow the animal to be scanned ov r almost 360�. It will b appreciated that the optics may be modified to adapt it to the different tomographic configurations. For example, mirror 54 in the �sitting� configuration provides a convenient way of directionally propagating the light.
[0046] The acquisition of optical data at a plurality of angles around the animal may result in appreciable variations in the distance between the surface of the ROI and the collection optics because of the irregular contour of the animal. Accordingly image reconstruction may be improved by the use of an auto-focus system and by obtaining a profile of the scanned regions. In this respect, the system may also comprise means to determine the volumetric profile of the animal. In one embodiment, the volumetric profile can be determined by scanning the animal with a laser beam directed substantially perpendicularly to the animal. By simultaneously acquiring an image of the laser beam at the surface of the animal with a video camera placed at an angle to the laser path, the volumetric profile may be determined. The animal may be scanned by moving the tray. It will be appreciated that the volumetric profile thus obtained provides spatial information useful for image reconstruction and display.
[0047] While the imaging of biological tissue can rely on the natural optical properties of the endogenous molecules for providing optical contrast, exogenous molecules may be introduced in the tissue to provide additional contrast. In this respect, exogenous chromophores as well as fluorophores may be used. Furthermore the biodistribution of such contrast agents can be followed using the method and system of the present invention. In one advantageous embodiment the biodistribution can be followed over time thereby producing pharmacokinetics data.
[0048] The optics as well as the source can be arranged to illuminate and detect light at one or more wavelengths as is described supra. This property can be exploited to follow the pharmacokinetics of two or more fluorophores and/or chromophores. In particular, the source and associated optics can be arranged to illuminate at an excitation wavelength of a fluorophore while the detector and associated optics can be arranged to detect light at an emission wavelength of the fluorophore.
[0049] The embodiment(s) of the invention described above is(are) intended to be exemplary only. The scope of the invention is therefore intended to be limited solely by the scope of the appended claims.

Brazil cannot be explained in a few sentences, but as one who has to deal with the realities of business life here (at the sharp, pointy end of start-ups and SMEs), I´m afraid Shaun39's observations are pretty much spot on, and deserve some comment. The opportunities are undoubtedly there, but I see absolutely no prospect of them being grasped.
De-regulation of the labour markets is certainly necessary for future development, but who has the political will to deal with very real pain it will cause the electorate in the short term as millions of jobs are shed?
Entrepeneurship is confined to those who already have the money and "jeitinho" to deal with the ingrained bribery, corruption and bureaucracy to be overcome – they are no more concerned with efficiency or innovation than the birds and bees, and the businesses which emerge are themselves inefficient and corrupt. Meanwhile the public sector benefits from the high costs of all the pointless bureaucracy.
Free trade is unlikely to come any time soon. There is a huge investment in the fiscalisation of imports and exports, and long-term protectionism has generated huge home-grown industries which generally produce inferior products at inflated prices. Healthy competition would decimate these industries, which are controlled by the rich and powerful of the country, and few politicians (anywhere in the world) would be sufficiently philanthropic to cut off their own supply of wealth and power.
Brazil´s inefficient transport and communications infrastructure is also controlled by the rich and powerful, and heavily centralised on São Paulo/Rio, often leaving outlying areas (with potential for growth) effectively disenfranchised with respect to the wider world. Decentralisation of the air transport hubs would of course slash income to SP and RJ state coffers and see local public sector jobs slashed.
Federal corporation taxes are inextricably linked with local taxes, and the entire system subject to corruption and bribery. The inefficiency of the system spawns unsustainably high taxes, which in turn drives the bribery and corruption – for example there is an implied 30%+ net profits "assumption" built in to one of the popular fiscal regimes. That´s net profit. This on its own tells a very long story.
As far as capital goods are concerned, the same issues apply as with other imports – and of course Brazil already produces its own overpriced, low-quality capital goods in industries controlled by the rich and powerful.
The fundamental issue is perhaps that the legal, economic and political systems are so ineffective that in their present state they cannot possibly heal themselves. My gut feeling is that the economy may stagger on through 2013, 2014 and maybe 2015, buoyed by the Football World Cup and the lead-up to the Olympics. But I also suspect that the blue touch paper may already have been lit, and if you are still around in 2016 it would probably be a good idea to put your head between your knees.

PSC issues ruling on private jets
Northern District Public Service Commissioner Brandon Presley proposed a rule that would prohibit corporate utilities from passing along private jet expense to consumers through rates.
"Corporate utilities should not be able to pass along costs of flying around on private jets to their customers," stated Presley.
"Mississippi customers shouldn't have to pay for lavish jet-setting by corporations. If they want luxurious jets to fly around in, their stockholders and profits should pay for it – not consumers."
