By David Driver, Special Correspondent
OWINGS MILLS, Md. � Cedar Rapids native Marshal Yanda was sitting at home in Maryland when he got a telephone call late last month from John Harbaugh, the head coach of the Baltimore Ravens.
�I thought he was checking on my ribs,� said Yanda, the right guard for the playoff-bound Ravens.
That would seem logical since Yanda, 27, a former standout for Anamosa High and with the Iowa Hawkeyes, has been playing through pain the past few days.
But Harbaugh was calling to let Yanda know he had been named to the first Pro Bowl of his NFL career. He joined running back Ray Rice and fullback Vonta Leach as offensive Pro Bowlers with the Ravens, who ranked No. 3 in rushing yards (1,105) in the last seven games of the season.
�That was an awesome accomplishment, to be part of that group,� said the 6-foot-3, 315-pound Yanda, standing by his locker following a morning practice in suburban Maryland. �I felt honored.�
Yanda, in his fifth pro season, was quick to point out that the success of a team helps players get individual honors. �You don�t see too many Pro Bowl players from teams that are 5-11,� he said.
The Ravens are far from that type of team. Baltimore was 12-4 in regular-season play this season to win the AFC North title, which gave the Ravens a first-round bye and a home game against Houston on Sunday at noon. Baltimore is 8-0 at home this season.
�It is huge. You get that extra week of recovery to be ready and play,� he said of the bye. �That is big for us.�
This will be the fourth straight year the Ravens have made the playoffs.
�It makes you realize that is not common. To be in the playoffs every year � you don�t take that for granted,� Yanda said.
So what changes in the playoffs? �Ball security is obviously huge and running the football is huge in the playoffs,� he said. �The playoffs come down to one or two plays, usually.�
What if the Ravens end up playing the Steelers again? �I would expect another normal Pittsburgh-Baltimore game. It will be two good teams coming at it. I don�t expect anything less,� he said.
Yanda, a right guard, started all 16 games this season for the Ravens. Last year he started at right tackle in both playoff games as Baltimore totaled 516 total yards, including a team playoff record of 390 yards against the Chiefs in a wild card game Jan. 9, 2011.
Yanda was named to the Sports Illustrated (Peter King) All-Pro team in 2010. Now this year the accolades came with his first selection to the Pro Bowl, which will be held Jan. 29 in Hawaii.
Due to thigh and rib contusions it did not look like Yanda would play in Week 17 in the regular-season finale at Cincinnati. The Ravens had clinched a playoff berth but had not locked down a first-round bye going into the finale, which was a 24-16 win against the Bengals.
�It was tough. Once I got the blood flowing I felt pretty decent out there,� Yanda said. �I could play at a high level, so that was the important thing. I wanted to be part of that win. I knew they needed me. Two days after the Cleveland game (Dec. 24) I felt there was no way I could play. I progressed as the week went on.�
He had a big block on the fourth play of the game against the Bengals that allowed Rice to go 70 yards for a touchdown.
�During the game I felt pretty decent out there,� Yanda said. �At other times I did not feel as good. But overall I felt pretty decent.�
�I fell on my rib late in the fourth quarter. I was in a lot of pain. Everyone wanted to give me a hug (after the game). I told them to get away,� he said, with a big laugh.
What did he learn about himself by playing in the regular-season finale? �You want to play through pain. I am a quick healer and I was able to get back out there. I was able to play at high level and that was the important thing. I did not want to hurt the team in anyway.�
Yanda�s grit has made him a team leader. �There is no tougher than Marshal,� Harbaugh told reporters Jan. 2. �That is a reflection of our whole team. He optimizes that, certainly. He won�t tell you much about it, but for him to say he could barely breathe and play the way he did, obviously it was huge for us. He is an anchor of our offensive line, and when he is in there, we�re a lot better.�

Vessel with Two Gods before a Mountain
Guatemala, Maya culture
Late Classic period (A.D. 600–900)
c. A.D. 700–800
Carved ceramic with traces of pigment
H. 6 5/8 in. (16.8 cm); Diam. 6 7/8 in. (17.5 cm)
Currently On View
The elaborate mythological scene on this vessel, carved in low relief in the leather-hard clay before firing, achieves at a smaller scale much the same effect as the Maya stone relief carvings. On either side of an inverted L-shaped panel of five glyphs, the Water-lily Jaguar and Chak face one another. In this pairing, they are depicted as actors in a sacrificial death dance. Chak, the god of rain and lightning, is identified by shell earflares and a shell diadem, by long hair gathered together and tied, and by his thunderbolt axe. He is seated before the so-called Kawak Monster, the head of a creature covered in reptilian scales, and with half-closed eyes and a huge tongue that drops to the ground from its gaping mouth. This is actually the iconic form of witz, "mountain," and it seems as if the rain god, who dwells in mountain caves, has just emerged from his home. The Water-lily Jaguar is identified by a water-lily blossom or leaf on his head, death-eye cuffs and collar, and a pattern of spots on his body. While he is a jaguar, his motions and postures are, in most representations, those of a human.

In honor of Electrician First Class, Vernon John Higgins, Navy - Served in World War IIHometown: St. Cloud(Submitted April 3, 2009 by Kathleen Sanchez)
I would like to pay tribute to my father, Vernon J. Higgins. Originally from Mitchell, South Dakota, he was one of the many farm boys who served during World War II. He did several years of duty in the Navy aboard an LSM in the Asiatic-Pacific Theater. I always thought it ironic that a man who did not particularly care for water or like to swim would choose to be a sailor, surrounded by salty seas so different from his much-loved Dakota prairies. But I think that shows how he was able to overcome any fears and do what he thought was right. He cherishes the years he spent in the Navy. In his own quiet way he was proud of being able to help his family back home while honoring his commitment to the United States. He thought the world of his fellow shipmates and the ships' commanding officers. My dad's personal qualities and unassuming character -- ingenuity, patience, openness, natural intelligence and his dry, subtle wit – were much appreciated by all. And still are to this day. Dad, I love you so very much. Thank you for all you have done for our family.

Bradley Center bat reminds us danger of the flying rodent, even in the winter
MILWAUKEE - A bat found during the Jan. 26 basketball game at Marquette University has reminded Milwaukee residents of the danger of bats, even in winter months.
According to state health officials, a rabid bat from northwest Wisconsin was diagnosed last week.
"It's uncommon to find a rabid bat so early in the year, but bats have been diagnosed with rabies in January in the past," said Dr. Jim Kazmierczak, State Public Health Veterinarian.
Kazmierczak said that although the majority of bats overwinter in caves and mines and become inactive, some may find shelter indoors and occasionally come into contact with people or pets.
"If there is physical contact with a bat, there would be the potential for rabies transmission to occur, assuming the bat was rabid," he said.
In this case, the exposed person may need to receive the preventive series of shots to prevent rabies.
During the basketball game, both the Marquette and Providence basketball teams were questioned and no coaches or players reported any actual contact with the bat during the game.
While no spectators reported being touched by the bat at the Bradley Center, public health officials urge those who think they may have been touched by the bat to contact their local public health department.
While most bats in nature do not carry rabies, 29 rabid bats were detected in Wisconsin during 2012, according to state health officials.

Lionel Lane
On January 5, 1993, the body of Virginia Johannessen, a 74-year-old widow, was found in her Aurora, Illinois, home. Lionel Lane, 33, and three friends — Lester Slater, Corey Jenkins, and Michael Turner — were charged with the murder.
The men were implicated in the crime by Lori Mohle, a drug-addicted former girlfriend of Lane's. Mohle claimed that three days before Johannessen's body was found, Lane and his friends had given her and her children a ride to a grocery store. On the way back, they stopped near what she later deduced was Johannessen's home. The men got out of the car, saying they would return shortly. She and the children stayed in the car. She did not see where the men went, but minutes later heard what might have been a gunshot. When the men did not return to the car promptly, she and the children took their groceries and walked home.
Mohle, who was living with Lane at the time, said that Lane acted "jittery" when he came home that night. Mohle did not come forward until nearly a year later, after she had broken up with Lane. She had been living with her ex-husband until his recent arrest for residential burglary. In exchange for her cooperation, prosecutors entered into an agreement with the ex-husband under which he would plead guilty in exchange for a five-year sentence — rather than eight years previously offered.
The four men Mohle implicated were arrested on January 2, 1994 — the one-year anniversary of the murder. Lane's co-defendants were tried together in 1994 and acquitted by a Kane County jury. But on February 7, 1995, a jury convicted Lane based on the testimony of Mohle and a jailhouse informant, Oscar Dorrise — a six-time loser with convictions for robbery, burglary, and weapons violations — who claimed that Lane had admitted killing "an older woman." Judge James Doyle sentenced Lane to 60 years in prison. Three months later, Donald Lippert, 20, and Edward Tenney, 35, were arrested for the 1992 roadside killing of a 24-year-old Aurora man. Lippert confessed not only that he and Tenney had committed that murder but also that they had slain Johannessen and another woman in the same neighborhood. Based on Tenney's confession, Kane County First Assistant State's Attorney John Barsanti moved to vacate Lane's conviction and dismiss the charges.
On May 28, 1995, Judge Doyle granted the motion, saying, "Every day, judges and juries have to weigh all the evidence and make decisions. It looks like we have a failure in the system." Lippert pleaded guilty and agreed to testify against Tenney in exchange for an 80-year prison sentence. Tenney was tried twice and twice convicted. He was sentenced to death the first time, but the Illinois Supreme Court granted him a new trial in 2002 due to judicial error. He was convicted a second time in 2008 and sentenced to life in prison.

Mapelastic CI reportedly provides a solution for resolving potential in-plane cracking in concrete substrates up to 1/8 in. (3 mm). "While MAPEI feels that the ultimate form of crack isolation is typified by sheet membranes such as our Mapeguard 2, we have recognized the market interest in roll-applied membranes and have formulated Mapelastic CI to meet those needs," said Brian Pistulka, business manager for Tile & Stone Installation Systems.
Mapelastic CI was developed to provide some added benefits to this new entry into the roller-applied crack-isolation membrane market. It is relatively quick-drying, allowing tile or stone installations after 30-50 min. The membrane changes color when it is cured, allowing workers to see when they can proceed to the next phase of the installation. The membrane meets ANSI A118.12 requirements, preventing in-plane floor cracks up to 1/8 in. (3 mm) from transmitting through the tile or stone.

Genre: Pop
Real McCoy, originally known as M.C. Sar & The Real McCoy, is a German band, best known for their 1993/1994 singles "Another Night" and "Run Away", which were both Top 10 hits in the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom.
Real McCoy is the brainchild of German rapper and producer Olaf "O-Jay" Jeglitza. After having released a few limited edition 12" singles in Germany under various project names (e.g. The Alliance, The Admirers on his own label "Freshline Records" (founded 1988 by Frank "Quickmix" Hassas & O-Jay), their first major breakthrough came in December 1989 when a cover of the Technotronic hit "Pump Up The Jam" went to #16 on the German singles chart. Juergen Wind joined the production team before the single was released.

US 4502159 A Abstract Novel tubular prostheses, e.g. vascular or ureteral prostheses, prepared by sewing the opposed edges of a sheet of pericardial tissue together with a thread to form a longitudinal seam are disclosed. By disposing the thread in a suitable configuration along the seam, for example in a plurality of stitches each of which is secured with a knot, a tubular prosthesis results that can be cut transversely between its ends without unravelling the thread and substantially damaging the same. Use of bovine pericardial tissue is preferred since the range of compliances of tubular prostheses made therefrom is approximately comparable to the range in human arteries and veins, whereas tubular prostheses made from porcine pericardial tissue tend to be too compliant.
Claims(4) 1. A tubular vascular prosthesis comprising a sheet of pericardial tissue having opposing longitudinal edges sewn together by means including a continuous biocompatible thread to form an everted longitudinal seam along the length of said prosthesis, said thread being disposed in a configuration of stitches extending continuously along said seam
and with each of said stitches being separately secured with a knot tied in said thread after said stitch so as to permit said prosthesis to be cut transversely to a determined length at any point between its ends without exposing unsecured free thread ends and thereby substantially damaging the seam. 2. A prosthesis of claim 1 wherein each of said stitches is secured with a triple knot tied in said thread after said stitch.
3. A prosthesis of claim 1 wherein the mesothelial side of said sheet of pericardial tissue is disposed luminally.
4. A prosthesis of claim 1 wherein said sheet of pericardial tissue is rectangular and said prosthesis is substantially cylindrical in shape.
Description Tubular prostheses made from natural tissue have been widely used in recent years in the surgical repair and replacement of diseased or damaged blood vessels in human patients. Natural tissue prostheses fall into three general classes. Autogenous material tissue prostheses are prepared from tissues taken from the patient's own body (e.g., saphenous vein grafts). Use of such prostheses eliminates the possibility of rejection of the implanted prosthesis, but requires a more extensive and time-consuming surgical intervention with attendant risks to the patient. Homologous natural tissue prostheses are prepared from tissue taken from another human, while heterologous natural tissue prostheses are prepared from tissue taken from another species. The use of homologous and heterologous umblical cord vessels as, e.g., vascular and ureteral prostheses is disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,894,530; 3,974,526 and 3,988,782. Autogenous vascular prostheses prepared from sheets of pericardial tissue have been disclosed by Yoshio Sako, "Prevention of Dilation in Autogenous Venous and Pericardial Grafts in the Thoracic Aorta", Surgery, 30, pp. 148-160 (1951) and by Robert G. Allen and Francis H. Cole, Jr., "Modified Blalock Shunts Utilizing Pericardial Tube Grafts", Jour. Pediatr. Surg., 12(3), pp. 287-294 (1977). Heterologous vascular prostheses prepared from sheets of porcine pericardial tissue have been disclosed by Ornvold K. et al., "Structural Changes of Stabilized Porcine Pericardium after Experimental and Clinical Implantation", in Proc. Eur. Soc. for Artif. Organs, Vol. VI, Geneva, Switzerland (1979). The necessary characteristics of a tubular vascular prosthesis are biological compatibility, adequate strength, resistance to infection, resistance to biological degradation, non-thrombogenicity and lack of a tendency to promote aneurysm formation. As used in this application the term biological compatibility means that the prosthesis is non-toxic in the in vivo environment of its intended use, and is not rejected by the patient's physiological system (i.e. is non-antigenic). Furthermore, it is desirable that the prosthesis be capable of production at an economical cost in a wide variety of lengths, diameters and shapes (e.g., straight, curved, bifurcated), be readily anastomosed to the patient's body and to other tubular prostheses of the same or different type, exhibit dimensional stability in use, and, in order to minimize hemodynamic turbulence and trama to the native vessel, have a compliance comparable to that of the patient's natural vessel that it is repairing or replacing (see discussion of compliance in U.S. Pat. No. 4,173,689). Finally, it is disadvantageous because of the risk of kinking to implant a tubular prosthesis that is too long for the intended application. On the other hand, implantation of a prosthesis that is too short places excessive tension on the anastomoses at its ends, thereby resulting in trama to said anastomoses. Thus, it would be highly desirable to provide a tubular prosthesis that can be cut transversely to a desired length at any point between its ends without otherwise substantially damaging the prosthesis. A novel tubular prosthesis has now been invented which comprises a sheet of pericardial tissue having opposed edges sewn together by means including a thread to form a longitudinal seam, with the thread being disposed in a configuration including a plurality of stitches extending along the seam, wherein the configuration of the thread is such that the prosthesis can be cut transversely between its ends, thereby severing the thread, without substantial damage to the seam (e.g., without causing the thread to unravel). Thus, for example, each of said stitches may be secured with a knot tied in the thread after the stitch. Preferably, in order to reduce the possibility of thrombus formation, the opposed edges of the sheet of pericardial tissue are sewn together to form an everted seam, and the smooth mesothelial side of the tissue is disposed luminally. The novel prosthesis of the invention may be of either the autogenous, homologous or heterologous type, with the latter preferred. Additionally, the tubular prosthesis of the present invention preferably comprises a sheet of bovine pericardial tissue having opposed edges sewn together to form a longitudinal seam. The range of compliances of bovine pericardial tissue tubular prostheses is approximately comparable to the range in human arteries and veins, while porcine pericardial tissue tubular prostheses tend to be too compliant. The invention will be described in detail with reference to a preferred embodiment thereof, which is a tubular vascular prosthesis prepared from bovine pericardial tissue. Reference to this embodiment does not limit the scope of the invention, which is limited only by the scope of the claims. In the drawings: FIGS. 1 to 8 illustrate several steps in the manufacture of a tubular vascular prosthesis 10 of the invention from a sheet of bovine pericardial tissue; FIGS. 2A to 8A are transverse cross-sectional views of the prosthesis at the various steps in the manufacture thereof illustrated in FIGS. 2 to 8; FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the finished tubular prosthesis 10; FIG. 10 is an end elevation view of the finished tubular prosthesis 10; FIG. 11 is an exploded front elevation view of a bifurcated mandrel for use in preparing a bifurcated tubular prosthesis of the invention; and FIG. 12 is a front elevation view of a longitudinally tapered mandrel for use in preparing a longitudinally tapered prosthesis of the invention. The starting material in the manufacture of a tubular vascular prosthesis 10 of the invention is a roughly cut strip of bovine pericardial tissue. After excision, the strip is cleaned of fat, fibers and extraneous debris and may then be placed in phosphate buffered saline solution for temporary storage. Subsequently, the strip is neatly trimmed into the shape of a rectangular sheet 1 having opposed long edges 2 and 3 slightly longer than the desired length of the prosthesis. The length of opposed short edges 4 and 5 of rectangular sheet 1 is determined by the desired inner diameter of prosthesis 10; for example, when the desired inner diameter is 4 mm., short edges 4 and 5 are at least 1.5 cm. long. As shown in FIG. 1, unfixed sheet 1 is wrapped around a cylindrical glass rod 6, with the smooth mesothelial side 7 of the sheet facing the rod. Edges 2 and 3 are temporarily held together during the sewing operation in an everted seam (see FIGS. 2 and 2A) by means of three evenly spaced single temporary sutures 11, 12 and 13 tied in square knots. Glass rod 6 serves as a mandrel and thus has a diameter of 4 mm., the desired inner diameter of prosthesis 10. By using rods having different diameters, the diameter of the resulting cylindrical prosthesis may be infinitely varied. Additionally, the mandrel (and hence the resulting prosthesis) may be, e.g., bifurcated or tapered with decreasing cross-sectional area longitudinally (see FIGS. 11 and 12). The mandrel may have non-circular cross-sections in transverse planes, but a circular cross-section is usually preferred. After sutures 11, 12 and 13 have been tied, opposed edges 2 and 3 are permanently sewn together with a suture 14 to form an everted longitudinal seam 20. Suture 14 is provided with suture needles 15 and 16 at its ends and is thus of the double-armed type. Preferably, it is a double-armed C-1, 6-0 monofilament polypropylene suture (Ethicon, Inc.; Somerville, N.J.). Edges 2 and 3 are permanently sewn together in such a manner that suture 14 is disposed in a configuration including a plurality of stitches extending along seam 20, with each of the stitches being secured with a knot tied in suture 14 after the stitch. One technique for creating such a configuration is illustrated in FIGS. 3 to 8 and 3A to 8A. At the top of the seam, about 3 mm. from edge 4 (see FIGS. 3 and 3A), one of the ends of suture 14 is passed through the two juxtaposed everted portions of sheet 1 and then interlaced with the other end of suture 14 in the familiar "left-over-right" pattern (or vice-versa) to form the first winding of a square knot (see FIGS. 4 and 4A). This first winding is then snugly tightened against the long edges of sheet 1 by pulling the ends of suture 14 apart. The ends of suture 14 are then interlaced (see FIGS. 5 and 5A) in a "right-over-left" pattern (or "left-over-right" if the first winding was "right-over-left) to form a square knot, which is then snugly tightened. Finally, the ends of suture 14 are interlaced one more time in a "left-over-right" pattern (or "right-over-left") and then pulled apart to yield a securely tied triple knot 17 at the top of the seam (see FIGS. 6 and 6A). The two ends of suture 14 are then both passed through the two juxtaposed everted portions of sheet 1 at a location about 2 mm. below (i.e. displaced in a longitudinal direction from) triple knot 17 and pulled to form tightened stitch 18, the first stitch in the configuration (see FIGS. 7 and 7A). Stitch 18 is then secured with a triple knot tied in the manner described above with reference to knot 17. This sequence of stitch and knot, with each knot displaced longitudinally from the preceding one by about 2 mm., is continuously repeated (suture 12 is removed when the seamstress reaches it) until a final triple knot 21 is tied about 3 mm. from edge 5 (see FIGS. 8 and 8A) and the exposed ends of suture 14 cut. Sutures 11 and 13 are then removed and the short edges 4 and 5 of sheet 1 trimmed just short of knots 17 and 21, respectively. As can be seen in FIGS. 9 and 10, opposed long edges 2 and 3 of sheet 1 have been sewn together to form everted longitudinal seam 20, with longitudinal strips 8 and 9 of the surface of the mesothelial side 7 facing one another along the seam. Prosthesis 10 is adapted to be readily anastomosed to another like or different prosthesis or to the natural tissue in the patient's body. If desired, several prostheses such as prosthesis 10 may be anastomosed together end-to-end. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, prosthesis 10 is manufactured such that the smooth mesothelial side 7 of sheet 1 is disposed luminally and such that longitudinal seam 20 is everted. These dispositions are preferred in order to reduce surface irregularities on the inner wall of the prosthesis and thus minimize the risk of thrombus formation. The configuration of stitches and securing knots illustrated in FIGS. 3 to 8 and 3A to 8A is adapted to be sewn by hand. Other configurations of stitches and securing knots may of course be employed. In the broadest conception of this aspect of the invention, the thread used to sew the opposed edges of the sheet of percardial tissue together to form a longitudinal seam is disposed in a configuration including a plurality of stitches extending along said seam, with said configuration being any such that the resulting tubular prosthesis can be cut transversely between its ends without substantially damaging the seam. Thus, the opposed edges of the sheet of pericardial tissue may be sewn together with a sewing machine, for example in a double overlock stitch. One commercially available sewing machine that may be used to obtain a double overlock stitch is an Elna Model 68SU (Tavaro S.A., Geneva, Switzerland; Disc. No. 163, Stitch Selector-7, Stitch Length Dial-S, Stitch Width Selector-O or other than O). Since the tubular prosthesis can be cut transversely between its ends without substantially damaging the seam, its length can be adjusted as necessary to adapt to a particular surgical situation. Thus the risks associated with having to implant a prosthesis longer or shorter than desired are eliminated. It is highly preferred that the pericardial tissue be fixed with a cross-linking agent while it is on the mandrel, after the sewing operation has been completed. The purpose of the cross-linking agent treatment is to increase the strength and resistance to biological degradation of the prosthesis, and to insure that the prosthesis retains its desired dimensions in vivo after implanation. Thus, on the latter point, if the sheet of pericardial tissue is fixed as a flat sheet before it is wrapped and sewn around the mandrel, it will have a tendency to try to return to the flat configuration. As a result, the cross-section of the lumen of the implanted prosthesis will tend to deform into a pear-like shape, with the seam at the V-shaped tip of the pear, and the possibility of thrombus formation will be increased. If, on the other hand, the mandrel were removed (and not replaced) before fixation, the desired prosthesis dimensions would have to be maintained during the fixation step by another means, e.g., internal pressurization of the prosthesis (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,050,893). The sheet of pericardial tissue is fixed while on the mandrel by contacting the sewn prosthesis with an aqueous solution of a cross-linking agent for the pericardial tissue, e.g. by placing the prosthesis and mandrel for at least seven days at room temperature in a bath containing a 0.5 wt. percent aqueous solution of glutaraldehyde. Before contacting the prosthesis with cross-linking agent, entrapped air bubbles are removed from between the mandrel and the sheet of pericardial tissue, e.g. by removing the prosthesis and then slowly replacing it on the mandrel. If it is desired to produce a prosthesis that is curved in its longitudinal plane, i.e. that generally exhibits a C-shape when viewed externally, the prosthesis is first sewn upon a straight mandrel as illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 8 and then removed from that mandrel and placed upon a curved mandrel having the same diameter and the desired curvature, with the seam at the inside of the curve, for the cross-linking agent fixation step. The sheet of pericardial tissue may also be treated with one or more antithrombogenic agents (e.g. heparin, albumin or a covalently bonded compound of heparin and albumin), fibrinolytic enzymes (e.g. urokinase) or antibiotics, which substances are then retained upon the surface of the sheet. Treatment of the sheet of pericardial tissue with heparin, albumin or a covalently bonded compound thereof is preferably carried out before the pericardial tissue fixation step, because the tissue cross-linking step serves not only to cross-link the tissue, but also to improve the retention of heparin, albumin and covalently bonded compounds thereof by cross-linking the e.g. heparin upon the surface of the prosthesis. Treatment with a fibrinolytic enzyme must take place after the pericardial tissue fixation step has been performed and residual cross-linking agent utilized in said step has been removed, e.g. by washing. The retention of fibrinolytic enzymes on the surface of the pericardial tissue may be improved by a treatment with a cross-linking agent, such as 1-ethyl(3,3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride, that reacts with free carboxyl groups on the surface of the pericardial tissue. Most preferably, the sheet of pericardial tissue is treated with one or more of the above-indicated substances after it has been sewn into a tube on the mandrel. In the case of treatment with heparin, albumin or a covalently bonded compound thereof, the sewn tubular prosthesis is preferably removed from the mandrel so that its luminal surface is exposed, treated with e.g. heparin in an aqueous solution bath, and then slowly replaced upon the mandrel for the pericardial tissue fixation step. The tissue fixation step is conveniently performed by adding the tissue cross-linking agent to the same bath and replacing the tubular prosthesis therein. In the case of fibrinolytic enzyme treatment, the sewn and fixed tubular prosthesis is preferably removed from the mandrel and washed with aqueous saline solution to remove residual amounts of, e.g., glutaraldehyde, treated with a cross-linking agent that reacts with free carboxyl groups on the surface of the pericardial tissue, and then placed into an aqueous fibrinolytic enzyme solution bath. The prosthesis may be tested for major leaks by closing its ends and pressurizing it with a saline filled syringe under hand pressure. Additionally, the tubular prosthesis may be encased in a tubular mesh of, for example, 32 gauge Dacron in order to further reduce the risk of aneurysm formation in vivo on the exterior surface of the prosthesis. For sterilization purposes, the assembly of the tubular prosthesis and the mandrel, e.g. the glass rod, carrying it may be placed for at least 24 hours at room temperature in a tubular sterile glass container containing about 150 ml. of a filtered 4 wt. percent aqueous solution of formaldehyde. The prosthesis/mandrel assembly is then transferred to a second tubular sterile glass container containing about 150 ml. of a filtered 4 wt. percent aqueous solution of formaldehyde, and the glass container sealed with a screw top followed by a heat shrink seal. The prosthesis/mandrel assembly is supplied to users in this sealed glass container. Alternatively, the assembly of the tubular prosthesis and the mandrel carrying it may be sealed in a glass container in saline solution and sterilized with gamma radiation. Radiation sterilization must be utilized when the tubular prosthesis has been treated with a fibrinolytic enzyme. In use, the sealed container is opened, the tubular prosthesis is pushed off the mandrel (in the case of a bifurcated prosthesis a mandrel is provided having at least one arm separable by unscrewing) and the tubular prosthesis is then thoroughly washed with a heparinized saline solution. After closing off the patient's body vessel that is to be repaired, replaced or augmented, a portion or the entirety of said vessel is surgically excised. The tubular prosthesis is anastomosed to the patient's body to re-establish a closed circuit and the repaired, replaced or augmented vessel is then re-opened. A cylindrical tubular prosthesis prepared from a sheet of bovine pericardial tissue and having a diameter of not more than about 4 mm. is particularly suited for use as a ureteral prosthesis.

Hi ilan_s;
Hmmmm.... this might work for an experienced sailor, who is ready for the "immediate take up" when the wind gets around on the new frontside of the sail. But, if you oversheet, in the midlle of any jibe with much speed, the board will simply "straighten out" and sail off downwind, and until you get the rig back out on one side or the other, you cannot steer. Actually, to drive a board quickly around a jibe the best sail handling "things you can do" are to rake the rig well upwind so the rig has lots of "turning power" when it's well sheeted out, and also to balance the rig over the mast foot so it will spin/pivot more quickly (with less effort on the sailors part) when you let go with the back hand. You can sail out "clew first" (by not letting go with the back hand) but this is a more advanced move, more suitable for small sinker wave boards that will stop almost instantly if you remove all power by flipping the sail. Until you can explain to me how this works, I would not recommend "over sheeting" during a jibe, unless you have "speed to burn". Yes, to initiate a fully carving jibe at very high speed, oversheeting a bit right at first, can pull the sailor over onto the lee rail, and really help the initation of the jibe, but unless you are going super fast, and can afford the loss of power and speed, oversheeting is very counter productive as it will kill your speed and the power in the sail when you need it most to drive your board through the jibe. Hope this helps, Roger |

Hi Roger,
I was aiming solely at schlogging-gybe. If you have, say, a half a mile to come out of the wind-shade of hotels on the beach, a gybe is "safer" then a tack even if you climb upwind. I picked this technique at one of Peter Hart's videos and found it both effective and easy to learn. . |

Hi ilan_s,
Any idea which of Peter Hart's videos you found this technique on? I'd like very much to see how this works. That said, if you try the "step over the mast... stay behind the mast foot " technique I described above, I think you will find that you gain significant ground upwind, and can tack very nicely, even in the lightest of winds on just about any board that will float you. Fore and aft balance/trim gets a bit tricky on < 100 liter boards, but if you stay back, and step over the mast, keeping your weight in the wider and more floaty area of the board behind the mast foot, and figure out how far apart to place your feet to maintain fore and aft balance/trim..

Hi Roger,
Serious About Waves #1. About 35 minutes into the film. Even on much bigger boards, I find it tricky to tack if the wind is very low and the water is choppy. |

Devil Mountain Ultra 50/5050mile & 50k Ultras + Demons of Dust 5k, 10k & 1/2 marathon (trails) Join us for "One hell of a run!" August 22nd, 2015 **This is a Trail Runner Magazine Trophy Series Event 6:30am : 50k and 50mile 8am : 1/2 marathon 8am : 10k and 5k 830am: Kids free fun trail run This remote and legendary classic Ultra brings runners together for two days in the pristine forest of the South San Juan Mountains around Pagosa Springs. 7,500 of climbing, 10,000 of elevation, bonfire party at the finish line and pancake awards breakfast combine to make this an authentic mountain ultra. With the Demons of Dust distances of 5k, 10k and half marathon, this event is now accessible to all runner abilities. Big climbs, high elevations, mountain vistas and plenty of single track through some of the regions most spectacular wooded trail.The ultra off-road course visits several mountain areas to the west of Turkey Springs, Chris Mountain, Middle Mountain, Horse Mountain and Devil Mountain. The terrain is nothing short of spectacular. Run it if you can! Incredible views, single-track and changing fall colors. We added a 5k and 10k in 2013 to start at 8am, the 1/2 marathon will now start at 8am as well, all in the Demons of Dust race. We'd love to see more locals be part of the event and also partner of ultra runners fill there morning with a great (shorter run) in the scenic Turkey Springs area. 50k and 50 mile aid stations are fully stocked and located every six miles or so, but we recommend that you run with a water bottle or camelback! It is dry here and can be warm. 50 mile runners: The section from the 50/50 split, aid station #4 at mile 23.5 to aid station #5 at mile 31.9 is remote, rugged and 8 miles long! Carry two bottles at least and or a full camelback. This section is extremely beautiful and extremely remote.... You will most likely be alone for very long stretches and should plan accordingly. Change to cut off times in 2014 - more lenient With the race date changing to late August in 2014 and with collaboration with EMS we have been able to review the cut off times to make them much more lenient then previous to 2014, allowing more runners to finish the 50 miler. Thank you for your feedback. Event highlights:

Behind the typical Spanish city of Murcia is a long range of hills. The high point is the rocky ridge of the Cresta del Gallo - or the cocks-comb. At one end of this is the impressive tower of La Panocha, (the Corncob), the best climbing venue in the immediate area. The place is popular at weekends - with city dwellers escaping for a bit of cragging, - its the same the world over. During the week you are likely to have the place to yourself. The area has a full spread of grades, with many fine face routes and a number of mini-summits to bag. Most of the routes are single pitches though the biggest of these are 40m long. The local guide is Cresta del Gallo y La Panocha written and published by Sergio Hernandez Rodriguez and Francisco Jose Iniesta Gallego.

Type | Software development tools |
Website | GNU Makefile |
Makefile(s) are text files written in a certain prescribed syntax. Together with Make Utility, it helps build a software from its source files, a way to organize code, and its compilation and linking.
Most often, the Makefile tells make how to compile and link a program. Using C/C++ as an example, when a C/C++ source file is changed, it must be recompiled. If a header file has changed, each C/C++ source file that includes the header file must be recompiled to be safe. Each compilation produces an object file corresponding to the source file. Finally, if any source file has been recompiled, all the object files, whether newly made or saved from previous compilations, must be linked together to produce the new executable program.[1] These instructions with their dependencies are specified in a Makefile. If none of the files that are prerequisites have been changed since the last time the program was compiled, no actions take place. For large software projects, using Makefiles can substantially reduce build times if only a few source files have changed.
Operating Systems[edit]
Makefiles originated in Unix like systems and is still the primary software build mechanism.
Microsoft Windows[edit]
Windows supports a variation of makefiles with its nmake utility. Standard Unix like makefiles can be executed in Windows in a Cygwin environment.
However, Visual Studio is a very popular software development environment in Windows which does not use makefiles. The equivalent of a Makefile is managed by Visual Studio Project and Solution files.[2]
Makefiles contain five kinds of things: explicit rules, implicit rules, variable definitions, directives, and comments.
- An explicit rule says when and how to remake one or more files, called the rule's targets. It lists the other files that the targets depend on, called the prerequisites of the target, and may also give a recipe to use to create or update the targets.
- An implicit rule says when and how to remake a class of files based on their names. It describes how a target may depend on a file with a name similar to the target and gives a recipe to create or update such a target.
- A variable definition is a line that specifies a text string value for a variable that can be substituted into the text later.
- A directive is an instruction for make to do something special while reading the makefile such as reading another makefile.
- '#' in a line of a makefile starts a comment. It and the rest of the line are ignored.
A makefile consists of "rules" with the following construct.
target: dependencies
Tab ↹ system command(s)
Note: It is important to insert a Tab ↹ character before the commands.
A target is usually the name of a file that is generated by a program; examples of targets are executable or object files. A target can also be the name of an action to carry out, such as 'clean'.
A dependency (also called prerequisite) is a file that is used as input to create the target. A target often depends on several files. However, the rule that specifies a recipe for the target need not have any prerequisites. For example, the rule containing the delete command associated with the target 'clean' does not have prerequisites.
The system command(s) (also called recipe) is an action that make carries out. A recipe may have more than one command, either on the same line or each on its own line.
A Makefile is executed with the make command.
make [options] [target1 target2 ...]
By default, when make looks for the makefile, if a makefile name was not included as a parameter, it tries the following names, in order: makefile and Makefile.[1]
Here is a simple makefile that describes the way an executable file called edit depends on four object files which, in turn, depend on four C source and two header files.
edit : main.o kbd.o command.o display.o cc -o edit main.o kbd.o command.o display.o main.o : main.c defs.h cc -c main.c kbd.o : kbd.c defs.h command.h cc -c kbd.c command.o : command.c defs.h command.h cc -c command.c display.o : display.c defs.h cc -c display.c clean : rm edit main.o kbd.o command.o display.o
To use this makefile to create the executable file called edit, type: make
To use this makefile to delete the executable file and all the object files from the directory, type: make clean

• National and global economic forces have ravaged the economies and societies of those coalfield areas which were once the powerhouses of the UK economy
• There have been successive waves of regeneration activity designed to replace lost jobs and to repair the economic and social damage created by industrial decline
• Tackling health inequalities has been lower on the list of priorities than job creation and environmental improvement to date
• Poor health status in former coalfield areas may contribute to the difficulties of social and economic regeneration. There are also social justice arguments for tackling health inequalities
• Health inequalities are not only found amongst older populations directly connected to former heavy or extractive industry. A double jeopardy is at work whereby younger populations are equally badly affected by poor employment opportunities and low expectations
• Direct action to improve community health at a local level is essential – waiting for health improvements to come about as a natural consequence of an economic upturn is unjust and may even contribute to continued poor economic performance.

From Wikipedia The Mercedes-Benz W126 is a series of flagship vehicles manufactured by German automotive marque Mercedes-Benz. Premiering in September 1979 as the successor to the earlier W116 line, the W126 was the second generation of the Mercedes-Benz flagship to officially bear the S-Class name referring to Sonderklasse or "special class." The W126 was initially offered in straight-6, V8, and turbo diesel sedan models. In September 1981, 2-door coupé versions of the W126 were introduced. Compared to its predecessor, the W126 was more aerodynamic, fuel efficient, capacious, and powerfully engined. The W126 S-Class debuted a new Mercedes-Benz design style which was subsequently used on other vehicles in the company's lineup. The W126 line also introduced many Mercedes-Benz safety innovations, including the first airbag supplemental restraint systems, seatbelt pretensioners, and traction control.[1] The W126 had a twelve-year production run between 1979 and 1991, the longest of any S-Class generation since the flagship models were first built in the mid-1950s Following the debut of the 1970s generation W116 (which also included the flagship Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9), Mercedes-Benz began plans for the next-generation S-Class model in October 1973. Codenamed "project W126,"[1] the project had specific goals: an improved ride, better handling, and improved fuel efficiency.[2] These improvements were aimed at helping retain the S-Class' market leadership as the world's best-selling prestige luxury sedan.[1] Following the 1970s oil crisis, Mercedes-Benz had made fuel efficiency an especially pertinent goal (named "Energy Program"),[3] even in the large V8 engined versions of the S-Class. In terms of the body design, the objective of the W126 design team, led by Mercedes-Benz's Bruno Sacco, was to produce a car that was sleeker and more aerodynamic than the previous model. The application of lighter materials and alloys combined with thorough wind tunnel testing to reduce overall drag meant the car consumed about 10% less fuel than its predecessor.[2] The maximum speed was also increased (250 km/h in the most powerful model).[1] After six years of development, the W126 was formally introduced at the Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung (International Motor Show, or IAA) in Frankfurt on September 1979. The initial lineup featured seven models in standard (SE, SD) and long (SEL, SDL) wheelbase sedan body styles: the 280 SE/SEL, 380 SE/SEL, 500 SE/SEL and 300 SD. Technically, the long-wheelbase (SEL) variants were codenamed V126, but this was not popularly known.[1] In 1981, the coupé version (SEC) of the W126 S-Class premiered at the IAA with the 500 SEC model. In 1981, Wheels Magazine selected the W126 model 380 SE as its Car of the Year.[4] Four years after the introduction of the fuel-efficiency "Energy Program," the model range had been reworked completely. In September 1985, again at the IAA in Frankfurt, the reworked model range was reintroduced. Apart from visual changes to the bumpers, side covers and alloys, the changes made to the available collection of engine variants was most visible. Two newly constructed 6-cylinder engines and new 4.2 and 5.6 litre V8's were added, and other engines were further upgraded. The W126 generation was replaced by the W140 in 1991, although a satellite factory in South Africa is known to have continued production until 1994. The different body styles of the W126 S-Class achieved a combined sales total of 892,123 units (818,063 sedans and 74,060 coupés), making the W126 the most popular S-Class ever produced I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor (http://www.youtube.com/editor)
