A surgical catheter for use on a patient undergoing NMR examination is composed of an elongated element made up of axial segments which are composed of materials which alternate from being highly opaque under NMR examination and less opaque under NMR examination, thereby enabling identification of the entire length of the catheter in the NMR field.
1. A surgical catheter for use on an patient undergoing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) examination, said surgical catheter comprising an elongated element having a distal end and a proximal end; a suturing device located at said distal end of said elongated element, said suturing device comprising a generally cup-shaped housing attached to said distal end, said housing having two openings therein, and two grippers which respectively extend through said two holes in said housing, said gripper including two jaws; and a pair of control elements which extend through said elongated element and are respectively connected to said jaws of each gripper to be alternately opened and closed.
2. A surgical catheter according to claim 1, wherein said element is formed of a plurality of axial segments between said distal end and said proximal end which are composed of materials which material alternate from being highly opaque under NMR examination and less opaque under NMR examination.
3. A surgical catheter according to claim 2, wherein said elongated element provides a primary lumen which extends along the length thereof and is centrally located therewithin and a plurality of additional lumens which extend along the length thereof and are radially outwardly located with respect to said primary lumen.
4. A surgical catheter according to claim 3, wherein said additional lumens are circumferentially spaced around said elongated element and wherein guidance wires are located within said additional lumens to connect said the distal end of said elongated element to facilitate guidance thereof.
5. A surgical catheter according to claim 3, including inflatable sacs located around an exterior of said elongated element near said distal end and wherein said additional lumens communicate with said inflatable sacs so as to enable pressurized fluid to be supplied thereto.
6. A surgical catheter according to claim 3, including a bundle of optical fibers for the transmission of laser light extending through said primary lumen to the distal end of said elongated element.
This invention relates to operating catheters for use in surgical procedures.
Catheters in accordance with the invention are characterized in that they are composed of non-magnetic materials which are opaque or translucent under Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) examination. Suitable materials may be hydron, or strongly paramagnetic materials such as gadolinium. The catheters are preferably of axially segmented construction, having segments of highly opaque material alternating with segments of less opacity, so that the precise location of the catheter is readily apparent under NMR examination and visually at the distal end.
The catheters have, in each case, a main central lumen for the passage, e.g., of optic fibres for laser surgery, or of drugs for perfusion into an organ or into a cancer, or of control elements for the manipulation of surgical instruments carried at the distal end of the catheter.
Additionally, small lumens may be provided through the length of the catheter wall for the passage of guidance wires, or gas, or drugs.
The catheters are preferably coated, internally and externally, with thin layers of silicone rubber.
In each case, these catheters permit the conduct of many operations and treatments which would otherwise be carried out under X-ray. When operations are of long duration or require repetitions, the patient is subjected to undesirable high exposure to X-ray radiation. The present catheters make it possible to conduct various procedures under NMR examination, which is non-invasive and not subject to the risks attendant upon exposure to radiation.
Some catheters in accordance with the invention and attachments for use therewith will now be described by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic cross-section of a first embodiment of catheter according to the present invention and for use in cancer treatment;
FIG. 2 is an axial section, drawn to a larger scale, of the catheter of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a perspective sketch of a second embodiment of catheter, for use in laser surgery;
FIG. 4 is a perspective sketch of a third embodiment of catheter, fitted with a suturing device;
FIG. 5 is a front end view of a fourth embodiment of catheter, fitted with a suturing device;
FIGS. 6 and 7 are axial sections on the lines A',A' and A,B respectively, of FIG. 5; and
FIG. 8 is a front end view showing a suture needle in position.
The catheter 1 of FIGS. 1 and 2 is in the form of an elongated element composed of alternating annular segments 1A, 1B of materials which are highly opaque to NMR examination and less opaque, respectively. The catheter has thin coatings of silicone rubber on its external surface and the internal surface of its main, central lumen 2. For the treatment of cancers, the lumen is charged with a quantity of embolising material which can be selectively discharged through the distal end of the catheter by a plunger (not shown) of NMR opaque material operable from the proximal end of the catheter.
A secondary lumen 3 formed through the wall of the catheter is charged with sclerosing materials. Three equi-spaced fine lumens 4 also extend longitudinally through the catheter wall and form passages for high tensile guide wires 6. At the distal end, these wires are secured to the catheter wall, and at the proximal end they are coupled to a joystick or rollerball control which permits the wires to be selectively and individually tightened or relaxes so as to permit guidance of the distal end of the catheter.
In use of the catheter, embolising material can be selectively discharged into an artery supplying a tumour, or a vein draining it or both. The secondary lumen 3 may be used for the injection of sclerosing materials into the arterial system before embolisation.
Use of the catheter under NMR examination has the additional advantage that the efficacy of embolisation cn be monitored while the treatment is under way by NMR examination of blood flow sequences.
In a modification the catheter may be of simple construction with just a main lumen, for use in the perfusion of tumour-killing drugs which are too toxic to be adminstered systematically.
FIG. 3 illustrates a catheter specifically for use in laser treatment of coronary atheroma. The catheter is of generally similar construction to that of FIGS. 1 and 2, but its main lumen carries a sheathed bundle of optic fibres for transmitting laser light to the site. The sheath 7 may incorporate additional fine lumens 8 for the perfusion of prostacyclin or other platelet-controlling agents, and a dye for staining atheromous material to a colour which makes it susceptible to laser light. These lumens may, of course, alternatively be incorporated through the wall of the catheter.
Further fine lumens corresponding to the lumens 4 of FIG. 1, are provided for controlling wires, as before, for the supply of pressurised gas to a small inflatable sac or sacs 9 carried near the distal end of the catheter. Preferably, these sacs are distributed about the circumference of the catheter. They are individually inflatable (or collapsible) so as to press against the artery wall and thereby permit fairly precise positioning and orientation of the distal end of the catheter and thus of the laser light emitted from it. The sacs may also be abruptly inflated together to disrupt an occlusion.
In a further group of modified catheters, adapted for surgical procedures such as suturing, boring, biopsy sampling and guiding pacemaker wires into position, the catheters are again of the same basic construction, but no lumens are provided for the passage of drugs or other agents to the site. The catheter again incorporates lumens for the control wires and the central lumen is employed for the mechanical control elements to operate tool pieces mounted at the distal end of the catheter.
FIG. 4 illustrates such a catheter fitted with a suturing device. The central lumen houses a flexible, torque-transmitting control cable attached to a suture driver 11 of tubular form, having bayonet slots 12 for locating the cross tang 13 of a wire suture of helically spirally form, the helix becoming progressively tighter in a direction away from its pointed leading end. The tang is engaged across the inner ends of the bayonet slots. The suture is applied by pressing it against the site to be stitched and then rotating it, by operation of the control cable, causing the pointed end to penetrate the septal wall (or other muscle or material to be stitched) and with continual rotation the suture is wound progressively into the muscle and concomitantly drawn out of the bayonet slot.
Instead of the suturing device described and illustrated, the same catheter can be fitted with other tool pieces specially adapted for boring, removal of samples for biopsy or the guidance of pacemaker wires.
The catheter shown in FIGS. 5 to 8 is for stitching with a filamentary suture. In this case, the catheter is provided with a small central lumen to receive the suture filament 12 and two further lumens housing control cables 13. Coupled to the distal end of the catheter is a suturing device comprising a generally cup-shaped housing 14 having two through holes in its front wall in which are mounted respective grippers 16. The holes are angled away from each other, and they taper forwardly. The grippers 16 are of a springy material and each has a pair of jaws which are forced together when the gripper is pushed forwardly in its tapered hole. When partially retracted, the jaws spring apart again. The grippers are of generally circular cross-section and are keyed against rotation in their holes. At their rear ends, the grippers are releasably connected as by ball and socket joints 17 to their respective control cables 13.
Initially, and as shown in FIG. 8, the grippers are both closed against a suture needle 18 attached to the suture filament. The catheter is inserted through a blood vessel to the site to be repaired and suturing is effected by rotation of the head and alternate operation of the grippers to push and pull the needle through the muscle or other tissue to be stitched. The head may be rotatable by a control cable or it may be rotatable within a surrounding sheath extending substantially the full length of the catheter.

Kahne pays for failing to pit
Kasey Kahne was a force on Sunday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway — until the final restart.
Kahne led 161 of 400 laps in the Coca-Cola 600 but his Hendrick Motorsports team's decision to not pit during the 11th and final caution cost him a shot at his second NASCAR Sprint Cup win in 2013.
"We thought a couple of guys would stay out and that would be enough to get away," Kahne said. "But the whole field pitted. We didn't expect that."
When Kahne didn't see the leaders in his rearview mirror as he stayed on the track on Lap 386, he asked crew chief Kenny Francis, "Did everybody come (down pit road)?"
"Yes, everybody came," Francis replied.
"Oh boy," Kahne responded, "We'll see what happens."
Kevin Harvick lined up alongside Kahne for the restart on Lap 389 and Harvick barreled past him before the field hit the backstretch. Harvick was able to extend his lead and win while Kahne battled Kurt Busch for second place.
"Harvick started with two (fresh tires), he held it flat," Kahne said. "I got a little free, had to back off the gas. When I went back down, he was in front of me. That was the end of our race. Just made sure we got second from there."
WIDE OPENWhat happens when NASCAR gears up for its longest race? CHECK IT OUT
For Kahne, it was his third runner-up finish of the season. He finished second to Matt Kenseth at Las Vegas and Kansas speedways earlier this year. Kahne's performances have him fifth in the standings, 75 points behind leader Jimmie Johnson.
"We thought a couple of guys would stay out and that would be enough to get away but the whole field pitted," Kahne said. "We didn't expect that.
"We were in the hunt from the drop of the green so it was a solid night," Kahne said. "Wish we could have won it. I thought we were the car to beat the last 100 or 200 laps even — maybe the whole race at times. But it was solid. It was a great performance by the whole team. The pit stops were solid. We just didn't get the win."
Busch finished third, followed by polesitter Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano.
Despite entering the 600-mile marathon under the weather, Kahne gutted it out for his 11th top-10 finish in 19 races at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Kahne benefited from two early cautions when NASCAR red-flagged the race for 27 minutes due to a TV cable snapping on Lap 121.
"I actually felt pretty good the whole race," Kahne said. "As soon as I got in the car, was the best I felt all day. Took some IV packs before the driver's meetings. Once they kicked in, it was the best I felt. That break wasn't a bad thing for me."

I felt that when Ruth tells her story, which is really the centerpiece of the play, it should be a kind of conjuring that takes us back atmospherically to that place that lives so vividly for her. So that was really the piece of the puzzle that she brings on stage through language. The film might have been more literal with Ruth's past of the 50s, but it wasn't important for me to see her as that young girl in the White Horse Tavern. But rather to see her weave this spell on Lisa and, one hopes, on the audience. I think that that is the kind of transportive experience that can take place using the power of the imagination.
That Ruth and Lisa are writers places them in a specific milieu, but I don't necessarily see Collected Stories as a play about writers. It is about a great many things, certainly, but it is primarily a play about how human beings try to engage one another, pass along traditions, fulfill the powerful need for family. I have always been interested in the ways that we create families out of our friends or acquaintancesthe kind of neuroticism that takes place even in the workplace, where we re-create aspects of family life. Ruth is childless, Lisa is alienated from her own parents. They feed each other. The elaborate dance Ruth and Lisa perform is a ritual that defies borders.
I teach playwriting at Yale University, and what I most often am confronted with in young writers is a great passion for writing, the romance of writing. But what I rarely see is a compelling sense of what the stories are they wish to tell. That compulsion to tell a story is the mark of real talent. You can't teach that, but you can teach yourself to recognize when something is not simply a clever idea, but a story which you're passionate about and need to tell. [ Next Page ]

New semester system in Mangalore university next year
There are only two professional colleges in the Kodagu Art centre for women inaugurated
VIRAJPET: Vice-Chancellor of Mangalore University K.M. Kaveriappa on Friday called for giving greater importance to higher education, which, he said, is neglected in the country.
Delivering the valedictory address at the silver jubilee celebrations of Cauvery Women's College, Prof. Kaveriappa, who hails from Arameri, near here, said higher education lagged behind both in terms of quality and quantity.
He said "value education" of the past has given way to "knowledge and skill-oriented" education system, of late, which had led to commercialisation of the education system. The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) and the University Grants Commission (UGC) had accorded priority to higher education.
Prof. Kaveriappa said there are only two professional colleges in the Kodagu compared with 30 professional colleges in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts. People of Kodagu should think of setting up more professional colleges, he said.
He praised Cauvery Women's College, from where over 2,000 graduated in the last 25 years, saying it means at least one girl became a graduate in as many homes.
New system
Prof. Kaveriappa said that the amended semester system in colleges under Mangalore University will come into force from the next academic year, in which extra-curricular activities play an important role in the scheme of things. It is in the interest of students where both curricular and extra-curricular activities are evaluated to judge the performance of a student, he said.
He called upon the principal of the college P.P. Sarojini to explore ways of introducing diploma courses that could run simultaneously with the degree programmes. Courses such as fashion designing, insurance, tourism and travel, world trade and others can be useful, he said. Alumni associations should help in getting the better of the financial resources in the wake of the stipulations that universities should find their own ways of mobilising resources, Prof. Kaveriappa added.
The former Director of State Collegiate Education M.D. Muthamma said education institutions should adopt new methods in teaching and technologies. There are a number of UGC-sponsored "add on" progammes that could be introduced in colleges, she said.
She inaugurated "Kousthubha," an art centre for women, the first in Kodagu, to train people in cottage industries, tatting and other age-old traditions of Kodagu.
Educationist and president of the Cauvery Education Society M.M. Chengappa presided over the function.
The former principals of the college B.C. Ponnappa, Erappa, Krishnaiah and Subramanya, were present.
Prof. Sarojini, read out a report on the occasion. The college secured a B-plus grade from NAAC, she said.

As the blame game continued over the controversial draft ordinance that the Cabinet withdrew on Wednesday Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley vehemently denied Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kamal Nath's claim that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had agreed to help pass the bill on disqualification of convicted legislators.
In a detailed note, Mr. Jaitley asserted that on more than one occasion he and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj had made it abundantly clear that a bill of such nature would be unconstitutional without a simultaneous amendment of the Constitution.
He said that he was opposed to a constitutional amendment as it would have conveyed to the people that lawmakers could go to the extent of amending the Constitution to shield themselves. Accusing the government of indulging in a disinformation campaign, Mr. Jaitley maintained the bill was never brought up during the all-party meeting.
National spokesperson of the BJP, Prakash Javadekar, also questioned the so-called minutes of the meeting, which were flaunted by the Parliamentary Affairs Minister, and challenged him to produce proof of when and where they were prepared.
Mr. Jaitley suggested that the government's managers were trying to create confusion by citing the agreement reached at the meeting, on passing a bill to nullify the Supreme Court judgment on barring candidates in police custody.
The apex court, he said, had delivered two separate judgments in quick succession — one on debarring candidates in police custody and the other on disqualification of convicted legislators.
All the political parties, including the BJP, felt that debarring candidates in police custody would be prone to misuse, thereby destroying democratic process, Mr. Jaitley said.
Following up on the all-party agreement, the law amending Section 62(5) of The Representation of the People Act was passed at the recently concluded monsoon session of Parliament.
On the apex court's judgment on disqualification of convicted lawmakers, Mr. Jaitley said that the "impression" conveyed was that the government would finalise a proposal and refer the matter to a Standing Committee for formulation of opinion.
Against this backdrop, the BJP, Mr. Jaitley said, had opposed the bill when it was introduced in the Rajya Sabha, and compelled the government to refer it a Parliamentary standing committee. "We were shocked when the Ordinance was issued even though a Bill was pending consideration before the Standing Committee. We opposed the issuance of the Ordinance on several grounds."

Letter: Horseshoe pitching contest links us to our past
Letter: Horseshoe pitching contest links us to our past
Neal DeLeuuw, Vero Beach
Ben Franklin encouraged the celebration of July Fourth with parades, firework displays and the gathering together of friends to rejoice in the freedoms we all enjoy.
For the past five years the Hansens of Sebastian have hosted a party. The highlight is the annual horseshoe pitching contest.
This year Greg Hansen carefully prepared the horseshoe pits in his spacious yard. Colorful red, white and blue hats were worn. The hotly contested event went off as planned. Contestants came from all corners of our republic. Greg Hansen is a Michigander, Upper Peninsula lad. Jack Sweetman has roamed all 50 states and now calls Sebastian home. Roy Thompson is a Missouri farm boy at heart. Neal DeLeeuw of Dow Chemical ranched in Nebraska and now calls Florida home. All combatants are seniors drawing on childhood muscle memory. Every year it comes down to a lucky bounce and each year a different team is declared the winner.
We all venture into the colorful appointed house for a delicious dinner of traditional hamburgers, hot dogs, baked beans, potato salad, etc. A delicious dessert was served. Greg presented his annual history quiz. Example: How many of our presidents were born on the Fourth of July? Three. How many signers are on the Declaration of Independence? 56.
Throughout our country folks celebrate the freedom our forefathers gave us. Many of our sons and daughters are fighting to preserve it. I can only hope that our founding fathers would be proud of us and possibly smile down on some guys pitching horseshoes. Horseshoes helped provide their transportation to Philadelphia and to destiny.

Paddy Power "Tiocfaidh Ár Lá" by BMB
Agency: BMB
Rating: 5.0
By Matt Williams, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 06 January 2011 10:56AM
The move follows an eight-month pitch process, which involved a number of network agencies.
BBDO will now be responsible for handling all EDF's advertising work surrounding the brand's sponsorship of the London 2012 Olympic Games, of which it is a tier-one partner. The work will be run out of BBDO's Paris and London offices.
Euro RSCG, the previous incumbent on the entire EDF advertising account, will continue to handle the brand's remaining corporate and consumer advertising activity. The agency has worked with EDF since 2006, after winning the business from Publicis.
In 2009, Euro RSCG was responsible for launching EDF's "Green Britain Day" campaign, which encouraged consumers to help the environment by "doing something green".
In October, it also rolled out a TV spot featuring 'The Waltons' family, to help promote its EcoManager appliance controller.
EDF's relationships with MPG, which handles media planning and buying, and Archibald Ingall Stretton, which oversees direct marketing activity, are unaffected by the review.

Will it mend but still be thinner or will it decompress over time. What causes the pain? has the disc been pushed out & putting pressure on the sciatic nerve - There seems to be a healthy gap where the disc is so that must be a good thing.
If you were over here I'd have a go at pulling your spine bits out, giving them a clean, lube (non moly of course) & reassemble. If I gave the broken bits a lite grind I reckon some of my welding would hold back together quite well. Actually just give me a call when you are coming over & I'll shift some stuff from the workbench.
All I can say is that I'm thankful I'm not on Nelson then.
I've put up the front view of the spine as well. Yes, the vertebrae is compressed & fractured. The compression puts pressure on nerves as they exit the spinal column, resulting in pain & altered sensation. Potentially, I'll be shorter than I was.
I don't know the answers to your questions. I think of this as an over extension injury. I'm guessing the weakness in the back / legs is in part due to torn muscle / ligament. My orthopaedic surgeon is confident that things will heal with no intervention (except needing to wear the brace), & no longer term issues.

Do you think wearing on-body cameras on duty should be mandatory?
Fifteen years ago, the officers won a lawsuit against City of Memphis that found promotion tests were discriminatory toward African-Americans and women. A judge agreed and those officers were promoted. More Here.
Police identified the officer as Paris Glass, a seven-year veteran of MPD. She's been relieved of duty and is on non-enforcement status pending the outcome of an administrative hearing. MPD isn't pointing out exactly where she appears in the video. She is not the lead vocalist. More Here.
Officials say two Memphis officers were wounded by a wanted man, triggering a barricade incident. Read Full Story Here.
Cops are being punished for activities that they participated in while off duty and while not identifying themselves as officers. So one has to ask the questions: What is an officer permitted to do off duty? Where are the red lines? And at what point do officers lose their First Amendment rights?

popular .
MANILA, Philippines—The Philippine Stock Exchange index may hit the 7,300 to 7,400 level this year as the Philippines attains investment-grade credit rating and further liquidity is released from special deposit account (SDA) rate cuts, investment bank First Metro Investment Corp. said Tuesday.
During the Philippine Investment Forum organized by Euromoney forum on Tuesday, FMIC president Roberto Juanchito Dispo said the main stock index would have more room to rise but moving forward, the challenge would be how to attract new issues. This would allow the market to deepen "so that people will have more choices" to invest in.
FMIC's new outlook of at least 7,300 for the main index is an upgrade from the forecast of 6,800 only last January. Back then, Dispo said the investment bank had yet to fully factor in an investment grade rating for the Philippines. "But now, an upgrade is more certain," he told reporters.
The Philippine government's debt is currently rated at one notch below the much-coveted investment grade by Standard & Poor's and two notches below by Moody's and Fitch.
"The monetary easing by BSP is also going to drive the index higher because funds released from SDA or at least portion of it will now go to riskier assets because they will continue to look for yields," Dispo said.
He said FMIC had likewise upgraded its projected increase in corporate earnings to 18-19 percent from its earlier growth outlook of only 15 percent. "Low interest rates will be supportive of corporate earnings," he said.
At FMIC's revised forecast of 7,300 for the index, Dispo said this would translate to a price to earnings (P/E) multiple of 24 times to 25 times from around 19-20 times at present. Although this was now at the high end of the historical range, Dispo said corporate earnings were still growing on the back of a favorable macroeconomic environment.
Based on its 2013 economic outlook, FMIC expects heavy election spending, increased infrastructure projects, robust consumer and service sectors and stronger tourism and gaming are seen supporting a gross domestic product (GDP) growth of above 7.5 percent this year, much higher than the country's trend growth of below 5 percent prior to the last Presidential elections in 2010.

Hi, I'm Chip, SpiderOak's semi-resident sysadmin. I'm the guy in the picture
below who looks like he's up to no good. }:-> Mostly, I'm in charge of
keeping the beasts in the server room well-fed and happy, which, like most
admin work, involves generous helpings of my sanity. It's a job that requires
me to be available around the clock — especially during inopportune times
like weekends and holidays. Nearly every day I'm asked to do something I
haven't done before. Sometimes it's fun, but many times it's not.
But you know what? I love it.
And it's not just because most days I can wake up at noon and work in the
wee hours of the morning, or that if I need a break I can pop into the other
room and play some Portal (Ah, GLaDOS, an admin after my own heart). I work
with a great bunch of people, and despite the fact that we're many states and
time zones away from each other, the whole group meshes into a team that I'm
proud to be a part of. (My absence in the group picture below

they breathe laughs of toxic smoke, lingering upon the indentations of their lips.
the threat of the cigarettes that dangle dangerously upon their lips dropping onto
the ground before them. they are lost in the euphoria of bliss, with the stars hanging
high within the sky and their fingers laced together and an arm thrown around the
other's hip with a brush of their fingers upon the curve of the other's spine every
so often. murmured stories of what had befallen them that day are spoken so sweetly,
and although they have long since found themselves lost within the cosmos in their
eyes, their sweet nothings are what keeps them anchored to the ground once the
dalliance with chaos ended with the rise of the moon.
the lipstick stain is a work of art, mercy had teased upon onyx's insistence to rub
the stain of crimson off of her cheek, and although protests had still rose within
her throat, the mark remains even hours later, dull but still stark in contrast to
her pallid flesh. their love is a fragile flame, and with her hand upon her waist
line and fingers threaded together, onyx discovers serendipity with the
heaven-sent destruction incarnate by her side.

Mehkamat Albasha
This building is located in Al Hoboos quarter behind the Royal Palace. You'll find few Arabic book stores near by. To go inside first you'll have to go to Syndicate du tourism on Mohammad V Avenue and come with a guide.
I asked the guards if they can allow me in and I was lucky that they did let me in. So why not try this before going to down town. One of them walked me around and within 15 minutes I was able to see all the rooms except for the royal office, I was able to sneak a peak into it from the windows. This used to be the Royal office for King Hassan II and King Mohammad VI for a very short period of time but now it is empty.
Visiting the place is delightful experience. It had a nug Garden and several courtyards. The architecture is simply stunning. If you are visiting Al Hoboos Don't miss this place.
The Old Cathedral and de la ligue Arabe Park
This was the first Church built in Casablanca. It has lots on Moroccan architecture features. It is no longer used as a church. After independence it was used for a while as a school and later as a theater. Currently it is used to house various governmental agencies. You can still take a tour of the place for free, just go inside and ask for permission to walk around. Avoid coming in August and September because the place might be closed during that time frame.
Near the Cathedral there is a very big park with plenty of green spaces, cafes and restaurants. The American and the Italian consulates are within close proximity of the Cathedral.
The cathedral is located along Hassan II Blvd and it is within a walking distance from down town after passing the French consulate and Mohammed V place, you'll see this big white building to your right hand.
Parc de la ligue arabe
The Parc de la ligue arabe (Arab League park) is a wonderful park with plenty of different pal trees, as well as paths, green fields, and benches. It's also and especially full of people; singles jogging, couples walking hand in hand, families taking their children for a stroll, and old men playing playing bowl.
This park is very alive and kicking, and one could really spend hours, people watching and relaxing. It is also flanled by cafes and small restaurants - so it's also a nice address to stop for tea, just like locals do. Inside the park there are also a couple of nice pavillions/small buildings... which I never found out what they are.
Mahakma Pasha
Place Mohammed V is the center of town, and the site of most of the government functions - among the fine French colonial buildings that adorn this new town square, you have the Mahakma Pasha - which is built more in Moorish style than in French style.
This building is all made of marble, stone and wood - and it's very large... it was built in 1948 and has about 60 rooms: originally it was meant to serve as the Muslim city tribunal and the Casablanca Pasha audience hall. Today the building is still used as a courthouse
The Lincoln Hotel
The Lincoln Hotel is an old establishment that was built in the 1916. The building was abandoned long time ago and the city was thinking of demolishing it and replacing it with a newer building. The building is located within down town opposite to the central market on Mohammed V blvd.
Thanks God that somebody was able to inject some sense into the City authority and they decided to renovate the building. The renovation has just started and I liked to document what the building looked like from the outside prior to the process and what it would look like when everything is over.
When the French took over the country. They established the new neighborhoods of the city. The new colonial building featured a mixture between French and Moroccan styles of building. The new style of building was called Mauresque or New Moorish.
There are plenty of fine examples of this style all over town. When you are walking around down town just look at building aroud you and you'll notice this unique style.
The Lincoln Hotel, The Cathedral plus hundreds of building in the down town area. There are 2 nice renovated Art Deco villas just opposite to the Cathedral that are worth having a closer look.
Syndicate du Tourism
If you want to save time than visit this place and ask for a tour guide who will show you around Casablanca. The tour will cost you 450 DH for 3 people and it will last for 4 hrs. It includes transportation for 3 people plus the guide. The guide will take to Mosque Hassan II, the Old Medina, Alhoboos area and show around the old Royal office.
This office is located on Mohamed V Avenue. The road is easily located in down town Casablanca. At the office you can arrange to meet with one of the official guide. To be honest I have not used this service but I looked into the matter and since J had enough time I thought that I can do it myself. It might be a good idea for someone who is staying for a very short time in Casablanca
Watch the Atlantic breakers
As an exile from home, I love to be beside the sea. So the chance to watch the breakers rolling in and crashing on the shore is something that I enjoy doing.The Atlantic is not like the Mediterranean with its gentle tidal movement, but offers the full power of the ocean with crested waves moving one after the other shorewards.Related to:

- Road Trip
The centre of town
In the centre of town there are many tourist shops selling souvenirs, cafes and large buildings, presumably official buildings. There was a tower and alongside it a construction like an open work ball, but all rather shabby.
Because of the heavy rain, the gutters were torrents of water.Related to:

Prefecture Mechouar
Casablanca is not a touristy city, nor the best place to see Moroccan art and architecture, but, if you're there, then one of the best visits should be Perfecture Mechouar, fortified palace with the traditional look of Moroccan architecture.
Don't be impressed by the military appearance. The building must be still in official use but tourists are welcome.Related to:
- Castles and Palaces
- Architecture
Notre Dame des Lourdes
Notre Dame de Lourdes is a Catholic Church built by the French, and finished shortly before Morocco got its independence in 1956. It is no longer in use. This church doesn't look like much on the outside, but the stained glass in it is amazing—it covers entire walls. I was told the glass weighs 55 tons.Related to:

- Photography
Many different and interesting architectural styles can be seen in Casablanca. This includes French Colonial, Moorish, Art Deco etc.
The best way to find these buildings is to just walk around and you will see many different examples.

Ethical Spa tourism
This is not only an excellent activity for travellers but also an initiative that is helping single mothers and creating social change in Morocco. An organization called Solidarité Féminine runs a traditional Hammam and health center which is not only one of the cleanest and most attractive in Casablanca but also provides valuable job training for single mothers who would otherwise be illiterate, jobless and who face all kinds of discrimination in the Muslim and Berber cultures that exist here. This Hammam offers excellent prices and all the funds raised go to support the programs of the organization which is truly helping to change Moroccan society. This is a local initiative, founded and run by Moroccans and is an excellent opportunity for tourists to support local development and have an excellent experience at the Hammam.

Colonial Architecture
Casablanca is a treasure trove of a distinct brand of French colonial architecture. In the 1920's and 30's, the French extended the city well beyond the original town (or "medina" in Arabic). The architectural style in vogue at that time, art deco, was combined with what the French believed to be "moorish" elements.
The hybrid style, known as "neo-mauresque", can be seen all through the Ville Nouvelle that the French built. The prime example of neo-mauresque architecture is the Habous area, also known as the Nouvelle Medina. It's a rendition of a "typical Moroccan village" that Walt Disney could have designed. The area is famous for its bookstores and a very friendly place to stroll around.Related to:

Ancienne Medina
Even though the ancienne Medina is the oldest part of the city, the medina looks much newer than it is and feels more like a European town than a medieval medina in other cities in Morocco. There are a fairly short strip of the shopping area and there should have no problem for you to lose your bearing in this medina.

The Corfu Declaration
Following its evacuation in 1915, the Serbian government had worked from exile on Corfu for the reconstitution of its state. During the early part of the war, a number of prominent political figures from the South Slav lands under the Dual Monarchy had fled to London, where they had set up a "Yugoslav Committee." Aided by sympathetic British intellectuals, the committee had worked to improve the position of South Slavs within the Monarchy in any postwar settlement. One of the most important achievements of the committee was its discovery of the Treaty of London—a secret document drawn up in April 1915 by which the Italians were promised Istria and large areas of Slovenia and Dalmatia in return for their participation on the Entente side. The stagnation of the war during 1916 and early 1917 added to the general indifference of the major Entente powers to the fate of the Slavic minorities within Austria-Hungary, and, thus, the Yugoslav Committee and the Serbian government-in-exile decided to seek a common program. In July 1917 representatives of the two groups met in Corfu and signed the Corfu Declaration, which called for a single democratic South Slav state to be governed by a constitutional monarchy. At the same time, on Habsburg territory, Croatian and Slovene deputies to the diets in Vienna and Budapest began preparing the ground for independence through a National Council.
The Corfu Declaration required that both parties to the agreement reorient their war aims. Serbs from the Habsburg lands had previously aspired to greater autonomy for Slavs within the empire. The Kingdom of Serbia, meanwhile, had seen the war as a defense of its gains of 1913—and even as a possibility that these gains might be extended. Indeed, the Serbian leader Nikola Pašić regarded the new alliance with dismay, as he saw Serbia's freedom potentially compromised within a new political unit in which Serbs could be outnumbered by other constituent nations. Nonetheless, as it became apparent in 1918 that the Italians were not content with the territories allocated to them by the 1915 Treaty of London, the "Yugoslavs" sought the effective support of the advancing Serbian army. All sides were constrained by the major Entente powers to reach an accommodation, and a conference held in Geneva in November 1918 concluded with a declaration of union by representatives of the Yugoslav Committee; the National Council of Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs; and the Serb political parties. The Montenegrins had risen against Austrian occupation in September, and on November 26 a national assembly in Podgorica declared for union with Serbia under the Karadjordjević dynasty. In October the Sabor in Zagreb had declared the union with Hungary to be severed, and on December 1, 1918, a delegation from the National Council invited the prince regent Alexander to proclaim the new union. Four days later the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes was announced to the world.
Serbia in the Yugoslav kingdom
The particular form that unification took in 1918 was not part of the original war aims of any of the South Slav peoples. Nevertheless, the need to respond rapidly to the collapse of Habsburg and Ottoman power led the various political leaders to conclude that the kingdom offered the best possible opportunity for realizing their own peoples' aspirations. Elections in November 1920 produced a constituent assembly made up of no fewer than 15 parties, most with specifically ethnic constituencies. The main difference of opinion between them regarded the choice between a unitary or a federal state. Serbian experience had always revolved around the creation of a strong state, that of the Croats and Slovenes around the struggle to defend their interests in the new state against too strong a central government in Belgrade. The defeat in principle of the federal idea led to the withdrawal of the Croatian Peasant Party under the leadership of Stjepan Radić. This allowed an alliance of the principal Serb parties—together with the Bosnian Muslim and, ironically, Kosovar Albanian representatives—to press through a highly centralized constitution modeled on that of prewar Serbia; it was promulgated on Vidovdan, June 28, 1921.

2008 Seattle Seahawks Season Odds
How much will the Seattle Seahawks miss Shaun Alexander in their backfield? Oddsmakers have made the Seahawks a 25/1 long shot to win the 2009 Super Bowl.
The Seahawks brought back one of their most important defensive pieces when they franchised corner Marcus Trufant. The team was also able to bring back guard Sean Locklear and Leonard Weaver from the playoff team of a year ago. Mike Wahle (Panthers), Julius Jones (Cowboys) and T.J. Duckett (Lions) were all signed as free agents.
There seems to be a little hesitation over the Seahawks this year, largely because their running game is a bit in flux. Shaun Alexander clearly lost too much to injuries over the years, but can Jones and Duckett carry the load? Seattle is still considered the favorite in the NFC West, but will head coach Mike Holmgren's decision to retire affect the team in 2009?
Seattle is a small long shot at all of the major online sports books. Current prices on the Seahawks' chances to win the 2009 Super Bowl range from 25/1 at Sportsbook.com and Bodog, while 35/1 at SBG Global.
Oddsmakers have also set the Seahawks' over/under total for wins in 2008 at 8.5, but clearly think Seattle will lose more than 8.5 games considering the over pays out at –155 compared to +125 for the under.
Even without the threat of a great running game, the Seahawks are still the best team in the NFC West. And with that, another playoff spot should be on the horizon. No quarterback knows Holmgren's offense more than Matt Hasselbeck, so the Seahawks should be ready to go again in 2009. The defense is also solid and has brought back all of their key starters. At 25/1, the Seahawks are a potential big value bet and should be considered a small Super Bowl sleeper to emerge out of the NFC.
