Two probes for tissue impedance measurement each have first and second conductive rings unitarily arranged with an insulative member separating the rings. The conductive rings are coaxially arranged and have individual lead wires connected thereto which extend from one end of the probe for connection to external processing and measuring equipment. One probe is of a size enabling insertion within a blood vessel while the other is for location in an epithelial cavity. In use an alternating test signal is applied to the electrodes of each probe and measurements are taken between the two sets of measuring electrodes determining the impedance of the cavity wall tissue lying between the two probes without passing current through the tissue.
1. Apparatus for use in effecting epithelial tissue impedance measurements within a test subject, comprising:
a first probe having first and second annular electrodes arranged in spaced relation by an intervening insulative member;
first and second lead wires having an end connected respectively to the first and second annular electrodes;
a second probe leaving third and fourth electrodes with lead wires connected thereto;
bridge circuit means interconnected with the lead wires of the first and second probe electrodes having a first stage configuration including a source of oscillatory voltage with two terminals, a lead wire interconnecting the first electrode with one terminal of the oscillatory voltage source, a selectively variable resistance-capacitance impedance means interconnected between the oscillatory voltage source other terminal and the second probe fourth electrode, the second and third electrodes connected as separate inputs to a first differential amplifier having an input impedance greater than that of the tissue impedance, a balancing amplifier having its input interconnected with the oscillatory voltage source other terminal and its output fed into a second differential amplifier, lead means interconnecting the first differential amplifier output with the second differential amplifier input, the second differential amplifier output connected to a digitizing means, said digitizing means forming a digital signal fed into a microcomputer to vary the resistance-capacitance impedance means to a value corresponding to the impedance of the epithelial tissue; and
means responsive to microcomputer control for adjusting the resistance-capacitance impedance means to remove error impedances associated with cabling, internal equipment and circuit sources.
The present invention pertains generally to the detection of the presence of and tendency toward abnormal tissue growth and, more particularly, to a probe and method of use of the probe for the detection of abnormal tissue and an early indication that tested tissue will become abnormal.
The term "abnormal tissue" as used herein refers to all forms of tissues which have undergone malignant induction such that these tissues may eventually show loss of growth control which is frequently referred to as cancerous or tumorous growth. The detection of the presence of such abnormal tissues is often made difficult because they are located within the body so that until discomfort or other symptoms are experienced by the individual, the existence of the abnormal tissues may not even be suspected. Additionally, procedures for early detection can be so expensive and complex as to make their use restricted. Therefore, it would be highly advantageous to be able to detect quickly and simply the presence of abnormal tissue or ideally the eventuality of abnormal tissue growth within a body cavity of the host, for example, and preferably the technique should be minimally invasive.
Many forms of cancers or tumors require extended periods of time to achieve a size detectable or injurious to the host, and in some cases this may take many years. Treatment at the present time is considerably more effective when the abnormal tissues are in their early phases and long before they have achieved growth sufficient to cause discomfort or produce symptoms. It would, therefore, also be advantageous to be able to detect the presence of abnormal tissues in their early phases or to detect the tendency for tissues to become abnormal.
Several research efforts have been directed toward discovering the relationship between the electrical impedance of biological tissue and its condition or health. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,949,736 discloses that the impedance of biological tissues can provide a useful indication as to whether tissues are healthy or diseased. Specifically, this patent suggests that changes in impedance of biological tissues can be used as a technique for diagnosis of certain carcinomas. According to this patented technique, a low level electric current is passed through the investigated tissue with measurement of the voltage drop across the tissue providing an indirect indication of the overall tissue impedance (i.e., resistance and capacitance). Also, according to this patent, increase in the impedance of the tissue is associated with an abnormal condition of the cells composing the tissue and indicative of a tumor, carcinoma, or other abnormal biological condition of the tissue.
A probe for use in effecting measurements of tissue impedance consists of first and second conductive rings unitarily arranged with an insulative member separating the rings. The conductive rings, one a measuring and the other a working electrode, are generally coaxially arranged and have individual lead wires connected thereto which extend from one end of the probe for connection to external processing and measuring equipment.
A second probe, which may be constructed in the same manner as the first probe, has electrodes each consisting of annular conductors mounted within an elongated insulative tubular member substantially smaller than the probe, and, in particular, are of a size and shape enabling their receipt within a blood vessel, for example.
In use, the first probe containing one set of electrodes is inserted within an epithelial cavity (e.g., the colon) and located at a test position through the use of an endoscope. Then the second probe is passed along a suitable blood vessel which may be located adjacent to the wall of the tissue defining the epithelial cavity within which the first probe is located. Optionally, the second probe may be located in the skin (either intradermal or subcutaneous), on the skin outer surface, or within a relatively remote blood vessel. An alternating test signal is then applied to the working electrodes of each probe and measurements are taken between the two sets of measuring electrodes determining the impedance of the cavity wall tissue lying between the two probes.
The external measuring and processing system consists of a microcomputer which automatically controls a programmable impedance (resistance and capacitance) for balancing with the measured impedances between the probes, and displaying onto a CRT or other suitable output display device the information obtained. The AC input to the working electrodes is selectable to any desired frequency value over an extensive frequency range (10 Hz-7 KHz).
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of the measuring and working electrodes shown interconnected with control and processing equipment.
FIG. 2 is a side elevational, sectional view of an impedance probe of the present invention having two measuring electrodes and interconnecting lead wires.
FIGS. 3 and 4 are end elevational, sectional views taken along the lines 3--3 and 4--4 of FIG. 2, respectively.
FIG. 5 is a side elevational, partially fragmentary view showing the probe and working electrodes in place within the body of the individual.
FIGS. 6A and 6B show, respectively, electrical circuit schematics of the two stages for measuring tissue impedance.
FIG. 7 is a graph of average tissue impedance measurements taken with the described probe and control and processing equipment.
Turning now to the drawings and particularly FIG. 5, there is shown a probe 10 to be more particularly described which can be readily located within an epithelial cavity 11 of a test subject. The probe 10 in use electrically interacts with a second probe 12 selectively positioned in a blood vessel 13 to measure the impedance of the tissues 14 lying between the two probes.
As has been alluded to generally, and as will be more particularly described later herein, it is a basic premise of the present invention that the magnitude of electrical impedance of the tissues provides a direct indication as to the health or diseased condition of these tissues. It is believed, therefore, that the described techniques will be highly useful in the diagnosis of most epithelial carcinomats such as lung, colon/rectum, cervix, pancreas, bladder, oro-pharynx, naso-pharynx, vagina, urethra, renal calyx, trachea, gall bladder, bile ducts, and small bowel, for example.
As can be seen best in FIG. 2, the probe 10 includes first and second annular metallic electrodes 16 and 17 unitarily assembled with first and second insulative cylinders 18 and 19 and an insulative nose 20. The nose is generally conical and is affixed onto a circular side of the first electrode 16, the opposite side of this electrode being secured to the end wall surface of insulative cylinder 19. Similarly, the second electrode 17 has one side wall affixed to the end wall of cylinder 19 and the other side wall secured to the first insulative cylinder end wall surface.
The electrodes 16 and 17 along with the insulative cylinders 18, 19 and the nose 20 are assembled into a unitary cylindrical affair, the outer surface of which is smooth. A rod-like member 21 extends through the axially arranged bores of the insulative cylinders and electrodes and has its inner end embedded within the nose 20.
A first lead wire 22 extends along the member 21 and has one end conductively secured to an inner part of the electrode 16. A second lead wire 23 extends along the opposite side of member 21 through the bore of cylinder 18 and has its inner end conductively secured to an inner surface of electrode 17. Preferably, the cable wires 22 and 23 are enclosed with the member 21 by a smooth insulative covering 24 to protect surrounding tissues when the probe is being inserted into and removed from the body of a test subject.
Although other materials may be found suitable for constructing a probe 10, best results to date have been obtained by making annular electrodes 16 and 17 from silver which is coated with silver chloride (AgCl2). This coating increases the electrode surface area approximately 10,000 times which reduces a problem sometimes referred to by the term "electrolytic polarization impedance" to be discussed in detail later herein.
The cylinders 18, 19 and the nose 20 are preferably constructed of a molded or machined synthetic plastic which is non-toxic, a good electrical insulator and can be brought to a highly smooth condition. Suitable materials for this purpose are nylon or the plastic sold under the commercial designation Delryn.
The second probe 12 is preferably constructed in the same manner as probe 10 with a pair of highly conductive cylinders separated by insulative members. The probes 10 and 12 are of a size commensurate with their ultimate use location. Thus, if contemplated for intravenous disposal, they are relatively small, whereas if considered for emplacement within, say, the colon, they can be correspondingly larger.
Biological tissue such as tissue 14 consists generally of semisolids and liquids which from the standpoint of their electrical characteristics act as electrolytes. The interface between the electrolyte and an electrode produces a so-called electrode-polarization impedance on the passage of an electric current therethrough, which can be of such magnitude as to impose a series error in any tissue impedance measurement, and, therefore, compensation or elimination must be provided. The electrode silver chloride coating by increasing the electrode surface area (e.g., approximately 10,000 times) substantially reduces the electrolytic impedance. However, even with this coating the electrolytic impedance problem cannot be satisfactorily solved in 2-electrode measurement of tissue impedance (i.e., measuring the impedance by passing current through tissues lying between two electrodes). One approach to compensating for electrolytic impedance is to adopt a 4-electrode system, and this general scheme is adopted here. For a detailed discussion of theoretical aspects of this general approach reference is made to the article entitled, "An Operational Amplifier 4-Electrode Impedance Bridge for Electrolyte Measurements" by C. D. Ferris and Donald R. Rose in Medical Biological Engineering, Volume 10, pages 647-654, 1972.
For the ensuing discussion of the electrical control and tissue impedance measurement equipment used with the probe 10 and work electrodes 16, 17, reference is now made to FIG. 1. A programmable oscillator 25 is selectively variable to provide test voltage in a range from 10 Hz-7 KHz. The alternating current output of oscillator 25 is applied to a bridge transformer 26 which is interconnected through a switch network 27 and bridge amplifier 28 to apply the selected oscillating voltage signal across certain of the probe electrodes as will be discussed in detail later. In addition, the switch network and bridge amplifier interconnect the electrodes of the two probes 10 and 12 with first and second programmable impedances 29 and 30. Biological tissues do not exhibit electrical inductance characteristics, and, therefore, the programmable impedances are further identified by the schematic representations "R1/C1", "R2/C2".
FIGS. 6A and 6B depict, respectively, first and second circuital arrangements used to accomplish what is a two stage tissue impedance measurement. In the first stage circuit, one side of the oscillating voltage signal from the bridge transformer 26 is applied to electrode 17 of probe 10 (which may be termed a "working" electrode) while the electrode 16 (a "measuring" electrode) is fed as one input to a differential amplifier 31. The other terminal of transformer 26 is connected to a common point of the parallel programmable resistance-capacitance arrangement identified as "R1/C1" the other common point of which connects with electrical ground and a working electrode of probe 12. The other, a measuring electrode of probe 12, serves as a second input to differential amplifier 31. The transformer other terminal is fed to a further amplifier 32. The amplification factors of amplifiers 31 and 32 are the same. The signal outputs of amplifiers 31 and 32 feed into bridge amplifier 28, also a differential amplifier.
The first stage measurement provides a first order approximation of the tissue impedance which is the programmed value of "R1/C1" when the bridge circuit is balanced. It is of particular importance to note that in making this measurement virtually no current passes through the tissue 14 and, therefore, the possibility of an error from electrolytic polarization impedances is obviated.
On conclusion of the first stage impedance measurement, the microcomputer 33 (FIG. 1) effects via switch network 27 a substitution of a second set of programmable impedances, R2/C2, for the probes 10 and 12. More particularly, one common point of R2/C2 is connected to the grounded common of R1/C1. The remaining common point of R2/C2 is fed into amplifier 31, the other input being grounded. Adjustment of R2/C2 is then made under control of the microcomputer following which the value of R2/C2 represents a precise measurement of the tissue impedance after the bridge circuit is balanced.
The second stage of balancing "R2/C2" against "R1/C1" acts to neutralize distributed impedances associated with cabling and internal equipment and circuit sources.
Still further as to overall system operation, unbalanced bridge amplifier signals are peak detected at 38, and converted to digital form in the analog-to-digital converter 39 for insertion into the microcomputer. The computer, in turn, automatically adjusts the values of "R1/C1" until the bridge is balanced as indicated by the digital value returned by the A/D converter. Then, in the second stage the adjusted value of R1/C1 is maintained and R2/C2 is adjusted to bridge balance with the final value of R2/C2 being the tissue impedance.
As shown, operation is preferably under the control of a microcomputer 33 which may have a conventional set of peripherals, such as disc drive 34, cathode ray tube display 35 ("CRT"), key board 36, and printer 37. The values of R2/C2 and R1/C1 are automatically changed to achieve the highly accurate two-stage measurement of tissue impedance. A single output frequency of oscillator 25 can be selected by inserting a proper command via keyboard 36, for example, or the computer program can specify another frequency or consecutive set of frequencies desired for impedance measurement. Also, a graphical representation of tissue impedance values measured can be displayed at the CRT 35 and printed out in desired manner at 37.
FIG. 7 is a graph showing a number of impedance traces taken of various test subjects and over an extended frequency range of test voltage. The straight line traces are measurements made of test animal tissues with inbred resistance to abnormal tissue growth not otherwise known to be diseased, and which animals had been given fourteen (14) weekly injections of physiological saline, and, therefore, are concluded to be "healthy" tissues. The dotted line traces, on the other hand show tissue impedance values obtained from test animals which had received 14 weekly injections of DMH (dimethylhydrazine) a known carcinogen, the majority of which animals develop tumors after twenty-six (26) weeks of injections. As the graph clearly shows, the capacitance of healthy tissues is substantially greater than that of tissues which will eventually develop tumors. Measurements of electrical resistance alone at the same intervals have shown no significant change.
The use of DMH in laboratory animals is generally accepted as a model of large bowel cancer similar to spontaneously occuring cancer in man. See in this connection the comments of N. Thurnherr, E. E. Deschner, E. H. Stonehill, M. Lipkin, in Cancer Research, Volume 33, page 940 (1973).
The graph of FIG. 7 depicts the average values of ten (10) different test subject measurements (straight line) as compared with traces taken for the same number of test subjects injected with DMH. The results clearly show that healthy tissue has a substantially greater and definable capacitance than that of the tissues which will become abnormal.
A microcmputer 33 used in a practical construction of the invention is a single-board microcomputer manufactured by Apple Computer and accomplished the described functions under control of the following program: ##SPC1##
Ninety (90) percent of human cancers are of epithelial origin. Epithelial cells tend to line hollow organs or line the ducts of glandular tissue. Many of these organs are amenable to exaination with endoscopes. For example, the bladder is accessible by a cytoscope, lungs by a bronchoscope, stomach by a gastroscope and so on. It is reasonable to expect that impedance studies can be carried out by simple modifications of these instruments placing a probe at the end of the instrument, so that measurements of capacitance can be made in patients at risk for cancer development in the different organs. The described apparatus and technique, therefore, has far reaching implications in the early detection of premalignant changes in many tissues and, as a result, have a major impact on cancer death rates.
The described techniques would be especially valuable in reducing death rates from large bowel cancer. A colonscope or sigmoidoscope modified to carry a probe of this invention can measure the capacitance of the colonic or rectal mucosa in vivo (inside the patient) and make recommendations based on these studies. At the present time, a patient undergoes colectomy (removal of the diseased bowel) based on the presence of dysplasia (abnormal cells) or cancer. These changes often occur late and advanced cancers not amenable to cure may be found at surgery. It is belived that the altered electrical capacitance of the mucosa antecede the histologic changes by many months, or even years making secondary prevention in these patients a real possibility.

Judge runs down suspect
A Chicago judge who saw two men breaking into his wife's car decided to give chase and two suspects wound up in custody.
Nicholas Ford, a Felony Court judge who also put in some time as a prosecutor, told the Chicago Sun-Times he had one suspect down on the ground. But the man managed to push him away and took off again.
I was fully antagonized," Ford said. I was just chugging. I'm not an elite runner. I thought I was going to have a grabber."
Ford did catch up again, getting the man in the front yard of his own barber. This time, police arrived and made an arrest.
A second suspect was arrested nearby.
Then Ford got a look at the criminal justice system from the victim's point of view, waiting in a police station until 2 a.m. Before he left, an officer asked him to sign a warrant.
Ford, who has been a judge for 11 years, is married to Cook County District Judge Callie Baird.

Pryor's record run sparks rare win
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)
Terrelle Pryor took the opening snap of the game, put the ball in Darren McFadden's belly and saw LaMarr Woodley crash down.
ME! ME! ME!Some players can't help but love the spotlight. Here are the NFL's top 10 divas.
Then Pryor did what he does best, sprinting 93 yards for a record-setting run that helped the Oakland Raiders shake off any post-bye blues.
Pryor scored on the longest touchdown run ever by a quarterback and the Raiders hung on to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 21-18 Sunday for their first win after a bye since 2002.
''I was very surprised, because it's never open like that,'' Pryor said. ''Very surprised. But with the game plan, the way they put things together, it doesn't surprise me that sometimes it may happen like that.''
McFadden added two touchdown runs and the defense did the rest for the Raiders (3-4), who had been outscored by more than 13 points a game in losing their last 10 games out of the bye.
Ben Roethlisberger struggled against heavy pressure from Oakland's front, and Shaun Suisham missed two short field goals as Pittsburgh (2-5) squandered any momentum gained during back-to-back wins following an 0-4 start.
''It hurts,'' Roethlisberger said. ''We felt like we were doing some good things and we were getting better. Today, we just weren't there in all phases. We didn't block well enough, we didn't pass well enough, we didn't catch well enough. We just weren't good enough.''
The Steelers took advantage by a fumble from Jacoby Ford to get in the end zone on a 9-yard pass to Emmanuel Sanders and cut the deficit to 21-10 early in the fourth quarter. But Roethlisberger also threw two interceptions in the fourth quarter.

Le'Veon Bell's 2-yard TD run followed by a 2-point conversion run by Sanders cut Oakland's lead to 21-18 with 1:24 remaining. But Oakland recovered the onside kick.
The Raiders got the win despite generating no offense in the second half, gaining one first down and 35 yards of offense in the final 30 minutes.
But a defense that sacked Roethlisberger five times and forced two second-half turnovers did enough to give the Raiders their third home win in as many games with Pryor as the starter this season.
''We are becoming a football team,'' safety Charles Woodson said. ''I think we have some good players that have been assembled on this team, and we're learning how to play together. We're learning each other and what each other's strengths and weaknesses are. We're just making some plays out there.''
Pryor was far from his best after the first play, completing 10 of 19 passes for 87 yards and two interceptions. He did have his second 100-yard rushing game of the season, finishing with 106 yards on nine carries highlighted by the long run on the first play.
''You have to understand the beast that's playing quarterback,'' Steelers safety Ryan Clark said. ''You have to understand what he brings to the game and that that's a part of their game and that they can do that. Once a guy like that gets in front of the whole defense, he's a legit 4.4. It's real. It just looks slow because he's 6-6, but he was moving.''
The Steelers gained just 35 yards on the ground, allowing Oakland's defense to tee off on Roethlisberger. He withstood the pressure to complete 29 of 45 passes for 275 yards but it wasn't enough.
Pryor set the tone on the first play from scrimmage when he kept the ball on a read-option when the Steelers crashed on McFadden and used a strong block by Rod Streater on Troy Polamalu to sprint the length of the field. It was the longest run in Raiders history and longest touchdown run by a quarterback.

''We got the right look,'' guard Mike Brisiel said. ''Man, I don't think anyone was close to catching him. He's like a dad-gum gazelle out there.''
Oakland dominated the half as Pittsburgh gained 3 fewer yards in the opening two quarters than Pryor had on that one play to open the game.
The Raiders took advantage of a short field after a deflected punt by Rashad Jennings to make it 14-0 on McFadden's first touchdown run. McFadden's keeper from 4 yards from the wildcat formation in the closing minutes made it 21-3.
The Raiders survived a pair of interceptions in the half by Pryor, including a late one on a pass that hit receiver Brice Butler in the hands. Pittsburgh failed to capitalize on that gift when Suisham was wide right on a 34-yard field goal attempt in the closing seconds for his first miss of the season.
Suisham missed to the right again after a more than 9-minute drive to open the third quarter
''It's no secret the impact my missed field goals had on the game,'' Suisham said. ''We would have won the game if we made my field goals. It's a tough one to swallow; no choice but to do it. I should have been better today and we lost because of it.''
NOTES: The Steelers lost three offensive linemen to injuries: LG Ramon Foster (concussion), backup LG Guy Whimper (left knee), RG David DeCastro (right ankle). ... The previous long TD run for a QB was an 80-yarder by Kordell Stewart for Pittsburgh against Carolina in 1996.

Set-up includes a 400,000 BTU torch, 3 gallon fuel cylinder, hose and fittings, and backpack frame. Lightweight, aluminum frame includes padded shoulder straps and a (non-padded) waistband. Mesh strips stretched across the frame keep the tank from resting directly against your back (a real plus in the heat). Definitely a worthwhile investment if you need to spend much time flaming. Note: the Red Dragon Backpack Flamer comes with the same type of fuel regulating valve as the Hand-Held Flamer. Addition of the Squeeze-Valve and Pilot is highly recommended.
I purchased this back pack flamer a number of years ago from your site. Over the years, I used it sparingly, but this year, I decided to give it a real try and began using it on small weeds in my driveway and other areas. It works wonderfully and actually even takes out horse tail which is the bane of all northwest gardeners. Though it is a bit difficult to screw the fitting on the tank after filling, if you lay it on its back, it goes on pretty easily.Review by Chelito (on 6/6/11)

ATP-ITF Calendar/Schedule Suggestions, Shorter Season

Re: This should be the ATP calendar
Does anyone know what sort of power the ATP has if it actually wants to go about instituting changes on a large scale like this?
And as someone mentioned earlier, the little events are important, too. You can't simply stick a Masters Series event in the schedule in Asia or South America if there aren't smaller supporting tournaments around that time. That'll essentially require players to make the trek there and back for one event. That's not going to happen. What would be ideal is several events close by geographically occurring around the same time of year. Players could then essentially move from continent to continent, playing the important events (and hopefully giving viewers around the world a glimpse of all the top players at some time). There is some of this happening already to some extent, with the clay, hardcourt, and indoor seasons being divided up. But this is still mostly Europe/North America, and if tennis hopes to expand to other continents, the schedule will need to be altered.

The new terminal 3 at Sao Paulo Guarulhos International airport is not designed for connections, says Star Alliance chief executive Mark Schwab.
"It's basically an O&D [origin and destination] terminal building, is what it's been designed to be," he says at the Phoenix International Aviation Symposium today. "This is just unhelpful in the long-term in my opinion."
The design and construction of the terminal moved forward with little concern for connections in the push to open the facility before the 2014 FIFA World Cup, Schwab says.
Terminal 3 is scheduled to open on 11 May and the World Cup begins on 12 June.
At least three Star carriers plan to use terminal 3, with Lufthansa, Swiss and United Airlines scheduled to move in in May.
Star makes a point to meet "quickly" with local officials at every new airport or terminal project around the world to discuss the importance of facilitating connections, says Schwab.
Terminal 3 will help reduce crowding at Guarulhos, despite its focus on local traffic. It will increase annual passenger capacity by 12 million to 42 million.
The airport handled nearly 36 million passengers – despite a design capacity of about 30 million – in 2013, according to operator Concessionaria Aeroporto Internacional de Guarulhos. This is a 9.9% increase compared to 2012.
Terminal 3 will serve both international and domestic flights with 22 contact gates for the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 sized aircraft or 11 for larger Airbus A330 and A350, and Boeing 777 and 787 sized aircraft.
The airport operator will move airlines into the facility in phases, with carriers moving from May to September. American Airlines, LAN Airlines and TAM Airlines also plan to operate from the facility.
Enrique Cueto, chief executive of LAN and TAM parent LATAM, told Airline Business in 2013 that they plan to build a large connecting hub at Sao Paulo with the opening of terminal 3.
"You have a huge amount of local traffic, and we will have the opportunity to connect to all the LAN affiliates in Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia and others," he said on Sao Paulo Guarulhos.

For those who may not have heard, Robert "Bob" Wittkamp, well-known industry figure, ICS columnist and consummate cleaning professional, died June 13. He was 64 years old.
Bob was born Sept. 2, 1942 in Muskegon, Mich., moving to Florida about 20 years later. During the past month his numerous accomplishments and achievements have been held high for all to see, for everyone to realize the true impact the smiling, mustachioed man with a twinkle in his eye and a humble tone in his voice really had on their lives.
"Bob Wittkamp was a self-effacing, tireless supporter of and teacher to our industry. No stuffed shirt he. Bob mattered and will be fondly remembered."
"There are truly people in this industry that you don't know, but feel like you do know. There are people in life that you never meet, yet they have a profound effect upon you just by their reputation and the knowledge they share with you. Bob was such a man."
"Bob has left others with fond memories as well as value. A legacy to be followed by all."
Suffice it to say that the impression he made and the footprint he left through his work both in and out of the industry will not soon be forgotten.
What will always stick with me is the passion with which he worked to pass along his lifetime of knowledge to those just coming up in the industry. For him, "Carpet Cleaning Basics" was more than just a header for a column. Learn the basics of the business, the reasons why things work the way they do and how to maximize your efficiency when performing those operations, and you will have a foundation from which to grow. And even if you didn't exactly "get" the lesson he was teaching in any given month, you didn't have to worry because, at the end of every column, he let you know you weren't out there on your own.
Until next month, see ya!
Bob was a friend. He will be missed, and he will be remembered.

My Thoughts: Attorneys' service strengthens community in many ways
In a series of articles last December, The Commercial Appeal took an in-depth look at poverty and its effect on the Memphis community. One of the articles detailed the "quiet giant of the local economy" — the estimated $5.3 billion that flows through Shelby County from safety-net programs, charities and the poverty trade. As the article noted, this amount is five times FedEx's annual local payroll.
One aspect of "Poverty, Inc." not addressed by the articles were the pro bono efforts of the legal community to ensure that the poor and elderly have access to the resources they need and which, in turn, they use in the local community. Volunteer lawyers help laid-off workers get unemployment benefits and food stamps. They keep the elderly — who are victims of predatory lenders — in their homes, assist families with getting TennCare coverage and allow the disabled to live independently. These efforts not only give the poor and elderly hope and dignity; they also undergird a significant portion of the local economy.
Why did almost half the lawyers in Tennessee provide pro bono legal services in 2011? There are a number of reasons. Lawyers understand the core concept that we are a "nation of laws" and that our justice system aspires to "equal justice under the law." Without the assistance of lawyers to help people navigate the justice system, the concept of "equal justice under the law" is meaningless. Lawyers also remember that one of their primary goals in attending law school was to help people. Assisting the poor and elderly with their legal questions and needs honors and perpetuates the ideals underlying the legal profession.
For some lawyers, pro bono service is a way to step out of their "comfort zone" — to interact with people of a different socioeconomic level or to handle cases outside their normal area of expertise. And for some, doing pro bono work makes them feel good; there is nothing like the thanks from a client for whom you have helped to sustain the basic necessities of life.
Memphis attorneys provide pro bono services in a number of ways. On the second Saturday of each month, a free legal clinic is held from 10 a.m. to noon at the Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library on Poplar Avenue. Members of the public are helped on a first-come, first-served basis on a variety of legal issues, ranging from consumer issues to wills. Each Thursday afternoon, attorneys are available at the Shelby County Courthouse to assist litigants representing themselves in General Sessions Civil Court. On Wednesday mornings, Rule 31-approved mediators are on hand to mediate disputes, again in General Sessions Civil Court. This is a quick way to get disputes resolved to the benefit of both parties.
The Community Legal Center sponsors a pro se divorce clinic at the courthouse each weekday morning to help litigants representing themselves in divorce cases. The center also hosts the Immigrant Justice Project, which assists immigrants who are seeking asylum.
New initiatives in the works are a Veterans' Clinic at the VA hospital in Memphis and faith-based clinics operated through churches.
The Memphis Bar Association Access to Justice Committee is also willing to arrange clinics at nursing homes, retirement homes and community centers to help residents with advance care plans, health care directives, powers of attorney, wills and other important legal issues. And the Memphis Bar Association is happy to provide speakers for community groups on legal topics.
Memphis is renowned for the giving, generous nature of its citizens. Lawyers are, first and foremost, citizens who want to improve their community for themselves, their children and grandchildren. That's why you find so many lawyers serving on civic and charitable boards and providing pro bono services. The Memphis community is our community also, and we want to play a vital role in providing all citizens with hope and dignity.
A quote often attributed to Winston Churchill says, "We make a living by what we get but we make a life by what we give." Pro bono lawyers are making a life by giving of their time and expertise to help those less fortunate. And while we lawyers have much more to do in providing equal access to all, we will never give up trying to make that promise a reality.
John R. Cannon Jr. is chairman of the Memphis Bar Association's Access to Justice Committee and a former president of the Memphis Bar Association.

BETHESDA, Md., Jan. 11, 2011 An international team of researchers is reporting that it has uncovered new information about human papillomavirus that one day may aid in the development of drugs to eliminate the cervical-cancer-causing infection.
Led by researcher Per Jemth of Uppsala University in Sweden, the collaborators from four institutions detail in the Journal of Biological Chemistry how an offensive protein generated by the sexually transmitted virus handicaps a defensive protein made by the human body.
Co-author Neil Ferguson, a biophysicist at University College Dublin, says: "It has proved difficult to stem the proliferation of many viruses using conventional drug discovery. Inhibitors of protein-protein interactions, as in HPV's case, are potentially potent ways to perturb viral infections."
There are almost 200 strains of HPV, dozens of which are transmitted through genital contact, and about half of sexually active people have had one or more infections.
The immune system eliminates the virus within two years in about 90 percent of cases, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, but it lingers for many years in a minority of cases. Some strains result in no visible symptoms, others cause genital warts and still others cause cancer.
"Infection by high-risk human papillomaviruses is causing as many as half a million cases of cervical cancer and more than 200,000 deaths among women per year, making it one of the most common forms of cancer," Jemth emphasized.
For the virus to replicate, it has to interfere with the body's natural inclination to kill infected cells.
What is known as "programmed cell death," or the destruction of sick cells, ordinarily is carried out by several human proteins. However, when HPV is present, the virus sends out two of its own assassin proteins, known as E6 and E7, to stop the defensive human proteins in their trac

After 100 years, Titanic tragedy still enthralls world
Paramount Pictures
The 3-D version of James Cameron's "Titanic" opens Wednesday.
Paramount Pictures
The "unsinkanble" ocean liner sinks in this scene from James Cameron's "Titanic," a 3-D version of which opens Wednesday. This month marks the 100th anniversary of the storied vessel's sinking in the North Atlantic Ocean.
Associcated Press file PHOTO
The Titanic departs Southampton, England, on April 10, 1912, on its maiden Atlantic voyage. April 15, 2012, is the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic.
Associated Press file
This pocket watch was found in the belongings of a third-class passenger named William Henry Allen. It was among a sampling of Titanic artifacts auctioned in New York.
It was the Titanic. And ever since, we've been hooked on disasters, in general -- but the tale of the great luxury liner, in particular. And the approaching 100th anniversary of the sinking on April 14-15, 1912, has merely magnified the Titanic's fascination.
There were catastrophes before that fateful Sunday night, but nothing quite captivated the newly wireless-connected globe's attention. It was more than news. It was a macabre form of entertainment.
Bigger, deadlier disasters followed, but they all borrowed from the story lines -- morality plays, really -- established by the Titanic's sinking: The high-profile investigations ... wall-to-wall news coverage ... issues of blame, technological hubris, ignored warnings and economic fairness -- all were themes that played out in the BP oil spill, the space shuttle disasters, Hurricane Katrina, the Exxon Valdez and the recent grounding of the Costa Concordia.
"The story is ageless, like all great stories," said James Delgado, director of maritime heritage at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. "The elements in this case of triumph, tragedy, and hubris, of bravery and cowardice, all wrapped up in one brief moment. That speaks to people."
And to this day, The Titanic is big business in movies, books, songs, poetry and museum exhibits hundreds of miles from the nearest ocean. Dozens of tourists have paid tens of thousands of dollars to dive in Russian submersibles to visit the ship and see the ocean floor "where the Titanic dug in and the ship created this knifelike sharp edge," Delgado said.
For decades that burial spot was unknown, but the discovery of the Titanic in 1985 brought the disaster back to the world's attention.
The 882-foot long Titanic steamed from Queenstown, Ireland, on April 11 toward New York, carrying more than 2,200 passengers and crew, more than 130,000 pounds of meat and fish, 1,750 pounds of ice cream, 400 asparagus tongs and only 20 of the 32 lifeboats designed to be on board. The ship ignored more than 30 different ice warnings. At 11:40 p.m. on April 14, the Titanic hit an iceberg and stalled. At 2:20 a.m., it sank.
The public, especially in the past century, has become increasingly fascinated with disasters. With Titanic, the story lines played out instantly thanks to the recent innovation of wireless telegraphy. Even before the Carpathia arrived in New York with survivors, the "story starts to get told in a particular way before there is any substantial information about what happened," said Harvard University professor Steven Biel, author of "Down with the Old Canoe: A Cultural History of the Titanic Disaster."
Survivor Lawrence Beesley, in his book "Loss of the SS Titanic," said many press reports made the sinking even more dramatic than it really was. "The fact is that the sense of fear came to the passengers very slowly, a result of the absence of any signs of danger."
Beesley and others talked about how no one at the time thought the Titanic was going to go under. At first, they joked that they had to stop for a fresh coat of paint to be applied to where the iceberg scraped the hull. After all, the Titanic was "unsinkable," they figured. "The improbability of such a thing ever happening was what staggered humanity," Beesley wrote.
The phrase was originally "practically unsinkable" and was from an obscure engineering journal, On top of that, someone claims to have heard ship Capt. Edward John Smith say, "Even God himself couldn't sink this ship," said John Wilson Foster, a Queens University Belfast professor who wrote several Titanic books.
Initially, news reports told of selflessness of the rich men in Titanic's first class who sacrificed themselves to allow women and children on the lifeboats, Biel said. While there were some brave rich passengers who nobly stepped aside to let others survive, the numbers show that the poorer you were, the less likely you were to live. Sixty percent of the first-class passengers survived, 42 percent of the second-class passengers survived and only 25 percent of the third-class, or steerage, passengers lived.
In the first few decades after the Titanic, the disparity in survival of the third-class passengers wasn't mentioned. It wasn't until Walter Lord revived the tale of the Titanic in his best-selling book, "A Night to Remember" (made into a movie in 1958), that the issue of class fairness was revisited, Biel said.
And by the time James Cameron's epic came out in the 1990s, the story had gone from the helpful rich to the mostly despicable first-class passengers.
One of the enduring story lines of the Titanic is about music. The band on Titanic did play as the ship went down, although experts disagree on the song.
Survivor Archibald Gracie, in his popular account, described the lowering of lifeboats into the water with women and children, saying "it was now that the band began to play and continued while the boats were being lowered. We considered this a wise provision tending to allay excitement.
"I did not recognize any of the tunes, but I know they were cheerful and not hymns."
And the band played on.

The former Bharatiya Janata Party national president, Rajnath Singh, has said the economic mismanagement by the UPA Government was the reason for the spiralling prices of essential commodities.
Addressing presspersons here on Saturday, Mr. Rajnath Singh said the UPA Government had lost its grip on the Indian economy and the common man was forced to face hardships.
He said that despite an increase of over 400 per cent in the oil prices during the NDA regime, the average rate of inflation was below 5 per cent, whereas the average rate of inflation during the UPA regime was close to 7 per cent. Now, despite the growth rate being more, the prices of essential commodities were skyrocketing, he said.
He said the recent hike in petroleum prices had dealt a deadly blow to the common man.
"It seems the UPA Government is worried more about the profit of the petroleum companies than the common man," he said.
Mr. Rajnath Singh said, "Centre should explain what steps it has taken to neutralise the price rise as it claims to have identified the reasons behind the skyrocketing prices of commodities."
He said he would urge the UPA Government to constitute a 'National Price Stabilisation Fund' to check spiralling prices.

Good set of nerf-bars?
I'm needing to buy a set of nerf bars for my truck (little brother has a heck of a time climbing up in it! :naughty:) but I'm not sure which way to go.
I want a good set of stainless bars for an extended cab 2001 Ram 1500. I'm hoping some people have some experience with these, I'd rather pay a little more now and now have to worry about them rusting on me in a years time.
Is there a good manufacturer? or should I go through Dodge? (I do have a buddy who works at a local Dodge dealership)
Google n-fab.
n fab, RBP, Westin, are all good brands with a lot of styles to choose from.
Someone here just bought a good set of SS ones from ebay . And at a decent price . Definitely check that out . My steel Westins rotted away in about 2 years . Boy was I dissappointed . My next set will be SS and probably from ebay .
I looked up n-fab's website and I've got to admit, I really like their look.
I didn't see a stainless steel/mirror finish option for a 2001 cab-length extended cab set (only saw black available) so I e-mailed them and asked if a stainless steel/mirror finish was an option.
$500 doesn't seem too bad though.. The lifetime product and 5 year finish warranty says they really back-up their product.
SS = Stainless Steel. Regular steel bars rust pretty fast once winter road salt finds a rock chip, or bare spots on the inside of the tubes where the paint or powder coat didn't cover.
The thin material of a tube bar doesn't handle being a rock rail either...:i_rolleyes::doh:
I got SS ones off craigslist, they are for a Hummer H2. They extended farther down than the normal ones did
That is a interesting setup! Do they bolt ot the frame as well or just to the body under the rocker.
They are to the frame. I have some L-channel I lost the pics of the install to show the brackets. Not bad for buying them for $40, pretty much brand new too.

The 16th Round of Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) talks are ongoing in Singapore through March 13, 2013. Along with Mexico, Canada is one of the two newest parties to the negotiations that began in 2010 among Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the United States, and Vietnam.
Canada has wasted little time in pursuing concessions with regard to the Buy American Act (BAA) provisions of U.S. law. According to press reports, a Canadian proposal presented in Singapore would allow firms from within TPP countries to bid on projects funded by central government monies even if those projects are carried out by local government bodies within the country in question. This push is directly opposite to the position taken by the United States in earlier rounds, which sought to limit government procurement proposals to the central government level. Other reports are that Canadian industry groups, including Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters, have urged the Government of Canada aggressively to pursue TPP negotiations as a means of reducing or eliminating BAA requirements.

Toshiba FlashAir W-02: SD card with built-in Wi-Fi
Published on Apr 10, 2014 8:01 PM
The new Toshiba FlashAir W-02 SDHC card is a Wi-Fi SD card that is faster at Class 10 speed (minimum writing speed of 10MB per second), compared with the Class 6 speed (6MB per second) of its predecessor.
It also comes in bigger capacities of up to 32GB, double that of the previous generation.
The FlashAir creates its own Wi-Fi hot spot that supports up to seven devices at the same time.
You can transfer photos from FlashAir straight to your smartphone or tablet through its Wi-Fi. Or you can plug in the FlashAir into your laptop's SD card reader to share documents or presentations wirelessly with your colleagues during a meeting.
The FlashAir works like any SD card on a digital camera. Just plug it in and start shooting.
But its Wi-Fi capability might not work well for every device. For example, while it worked fine with the Casio Exilim EX-10, its Wi-Fi signals were really weak when inserted in a Nikon Df.
There is a list of FlashAir compatible devices on Toshiba's website, so you should take a look before you get one.
You need to install the free FlashAir app (available on Android and iOS) on your smartphones or tablets in order to select and transfer the photos.
Although you can transfer photos via a Web browser on your mobile devices, I found the app to be more intuitive and faster.
Compared with other Wi-Fi SD cards, I found the FlashAir easier to use.
First, make sure the camera with the FlashAir is powered on. Next, turn on your Wi-Fi on your smartphone or tablet, log on to FlashAir's network. Start the FlashAir app and you are ready to select the photos and download them. This is true for Android devices.
If you are using an iPhone running iOS 7, after you select the FlashAir's network and are connected, you have to select "Cancel" on the log in page and tap on "Use without Internet." It just does not make sense and it took me a while to realise I had to do this.
If you insert the FlashAir into your laptop to share files wirelessly, you will want to install the FlashAir PC or Mac software.
The software allows you to enable an Internet pass-through feature, which allows devices already connected to the Internet to access both the card's Wi-Fi and the Internet simultaneously.
- For those still using digital cameras without Wi-Fi, the Toshiba FlashAir W-02 is a cheap investment for you to upload your photos online quickly. It is especially useful if you are using an Android smartphone.

Jennifer Lopez deal with 'Idol' imminent, says source
More News from Associated Press
NEW YORK — A person familiar with negotiations to bring Jennifer Lopez back as an "American Idol" judge says her return will be announced this week.
The person said Monday that a deal is close to being signed with Lopez, who was an "Idol" judge for the 2011 and 2012 seasons. The person wasn't authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The person says Lopez decided to rejoin the show because its production schedule will allow her to spend more time with her children, 5-year-old twins Emme and Max.
Lopez will join returning judge Keith Urban and a third person who hasn't been announced.
Fox has declined to comment on whether Lopez is joining "American Idol" and did not immediately respond to another request for comment Monday.
Lopez's agent did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

Ok so I know that all of us have heard that DTD can help ripen your cervix, to make labor go faster, yada-yada-yada, right?ĀĀ So I was looking up natural induction methods because I was wondering if there was anything else that can be done to help move things along.ĀĀ I found a PDF file from a doula service that actually suggests swallowing the semen instead of just having sex because the prostaglandins are absorbed better by your stomach than by being spread on your cervix...Ā WHOA!!!!
There are a bunch of other ones on this page that I have never heard of as well..Ā Thought I would share!!

Well, I have only had my truck back for 2 weeks and was gonna wait a little longer to respond but here it goes. Truck went back in 3.5 weeks ago for the second time to replace the TC. The same re-manufactured TC was ordered again and this time they said they were told by the Dodge engineers to replace the front trans pump and do a trans service too. After being at the dealer for 7 days, I got it back about 2 weeks ago. So far it is definitly driving better then the first time I had the TC replaced. I think in these 2 weeks I have had it back I might have felt a quick vibration a few times but nothing like the first replacement. Not enough to bring it back for a 3rd time yet. I would get a bad vibration 2 or 3 times a day before. I am not 100% convinced yet the problem is totally gone, gonna give it more time, but it is better. Sometimes I feel like I am babying the truck some now cause I don't want to have to go through this problem again! I just wish I could feel confident in these parts they are using, but I don't. Oh well, It is better the second time around but the jury is still out as I want to put more miles on it.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968)
Plot Summary
An eccentric professor invents wacky machinery, but can't seem to make ends meet. When he invents a revolutionary car, a foreign government becomes interested in it, and resorts to skulduggery to get their hands on it.- Written by Murray Chapman <firstname.lastname@example.com>
In the early 20th century England, eccentric Caractacus Potts works as an inventor, a job which barely supports himself, his equally eccentric father, and his two children, Jeremy and Jemima. But they're all happy. When the children beg their father to buy for them their favorite plaything - a broken down jalopy of a car sitting at a local junk yard - Caractacus does whatever he can to make some money to buy it. One scheme to raise money involves the unexpected assistance of a pretty and wealthy young woman they have just met named Truly Scrumptious, the daughter of a candy factory owner. But Caractacus eventually comes into another one time only windfall of money, enough to buy the car. Using his inventing skills, Caractacus transforms the piece of junk into a beautiful working machine, which they name Chitty Chitty Bang Bang because of the noise the engine makes. At a seaside picnic with his children and Truly, Caractacus spins a fanciful tale of an eccentric inventor, his pretty girlfriend (who is the daughter of a candy factory owner), his two children, and a magical car named Chitty all in the faraway land of Vulgaria. The ruthless Baron Bomburst, the ruler of Vulgaria, will do whatever he can to get his hands on the magical car. But because of Baroness Bomburst's disdain for them, what are outlawed in Vulgaria are children, including the unsuspecting children of a foreign inventor of a magical car.- Written by Huggo
A weird inventor (Caractacus Potts) invents an amazing flying car, which drives by itself. It takes him and his family to Vulgaria, where the sinister buffoon Baron Bomburst kidnaps the car. The baron has made children illegal, and Caractacus and Co. have to try and rescue the children of Vulgaria.- Written by Blokie <email@example.com>
A down-on-his-luck inventor turns a broken-down Grand Prix car into a fancy vehicle for his children, and then they go off on a magical fantasy adventure to save their grandfather in a far-off land.- Written by email@example.com

text: Hi everyone, I was just wondering if you could give me some advice on resolutions and upscaling - since I'm confused! At the moment I am currently watching normal DVDs on my Denon 1720. It's connected via component (QED Qunex P-CV as no hdmi) to my Panasonic 26LXD500 (HD ready with 1,366 x 768 native resolution). Now currently the Denon does progressive scan over component so apparently I am watching DVDs in 576p. According to the manual, the TV accepts signals 720p and 1080i as well. My question is would I get any benefit in buying say, the Denon 1730, and watching DVDs via HDMI in 720p or 1080i? Would this give a better picture than via component at 576p? The answer to me on paper seems yes, but all this talk on other threads about this is not always the case is confusing! I don't know if the TV is already doing scaling as it is, as I can't find any menu or whatever. Reading the manual on the TV it does however say "720p/1080i signals via HDMI will be reformatted to view on your TV". If its going to 'reformat' an upscaled 1080i picture (for example) is there any point in upscaling in the first place? It also mentions in the Denon manual that "Component input accepts progressive and non-progressive signals, as well as high def 720p and 1080i". I didn't think you could send these signals over component? I hope this all makes sense! I have too many DVD's now to switch to Blueray/HD DVD so I just want the best picture quality for my current DVDs. Many thanks to anyone who help

The manifestos for each constituency will be out early next month
With the Delhi Assembly elections drawing near, campaigning has turned more combative. The Aam Aadmi Party, which has mounted a challenge to the dominance of mainstream political parties, is expected to release its manifestos early next month.
The party is busy preparing 71 manifestos for the city, one each for the 70 Assembly constituencies and one for the whole of Delhi.
The party leaders realised that there were some issues affecting all Delhiites, like electricity bills and the safety of women, but the demands and requirements of every constituency were different.
So, the party started preparing its manifestos in consultation with the electorate in each constituency. AAP volunteers and candidates have been going door-to-door enquiring about the problems in different areas that need urgent attention.
AAP spokesperson Aswathi Muralidharan said this idea was at the core of the principles of swaraj and participatory democracy.
"Unlike the traditional political parties, which generally put their agenda on the manifesto instead of the people's needs and requirements, we are preparing 70 separate manifestos. This will ensure people's participation," she said.
Each manifesto will highlight the major issues plaguing a particular constituency. For instance, when party leader Arvind Kejriwal held public meetings last week in Sarojini Nagar, a part of Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit's New Delhi Assembly constituency, several issues came up. The problems of unkempt parks, choked drains and absence of security guards were brought up.
Whenever such proposals or problems come his way, Mr. Kejriwal makes a note of them in a big register that he carries with him. Like Mr. Kejriwal, who is also AAP's chief ministerial candidate, all the candidates are writing down the suggestions and problems of people in their constituencies.
"If people's issues find a place in the manifestos, then they would actively participate and thereby become a stakeholder in the process of governance," Mr. Kejriwal argued.
The party will compile all the concerns and requirements and then begin the process of "fine tuning" the manifesto. The manifesto will be finalised only after the party leaders take the "fine tuned" version back to the residents of the area for discussion.
Keywords: Delhi Assembly elections, Aam Aadmi Party, mainstream political parties, AAP manifesto release
