This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 08/927,347 filed on Sep. 11, 1997 now U.S. Pat. No. 5,980,531, and which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
This invention relates to the field of stent deployment devices of the type for delivering and deploying a stent to a treatment site in a vessel of a living organism, more particularly, an animal or human. The device of the present invention includes two balloons, one being compliant and used for stent deployment at a relatively low pressure, and the other being non-compliant and available for post-deployment stent expansion at a relatively high pressure.
FIG. 1 is an overall view of a stent delivery apparatus useful in the practice of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged view partly in section of detail 2 of FIG. 1 showing the manifold-lumen fluid paths at the proximal end.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged section view of a distal end of the apparatus of FIG. 1 showing the lumen-balloon fluid paths with the balloons shown in respective deflated conditions with an outer sleeve and guide wire omitted.
FIG. 4 is a section view along line 4—4 of FIG. 3, except with the inner balloon shown inflated and the stent omitted.
FIG. 5 is a simplified section view of the distal end of the apparatus of FIG. 3 shown in an initial condition ready for insertion into a vessel with the outer sleeve shown in section and extended over a stent.
FIG. 6 is a view similar to FIG. 5 except with the outer sleeve retracted and the outer balloon inflated and in section showing stent deployment.
FIG. 7 is a view similar to FIG. 6 except with the inner balloon inflated with parts cut away showing post-deployment stent expansion.
FIG. 8 is a simplified section view of a vessel with a stenosis.
FIG. 9 is a simplified section view of the vessel and stenosis of FIG. 5 with a stent deployed via inflation of the outer balloon corresponding to FIG. 6.
FIG. 10 is a simplified section view of the vessel and stenosis of FIG. 5 with the stent expanded after deployment using the inner balloon corresponding to FIG. 7.
FIG. 11 is a graph of the distention characteristics for certain materials suitable for the outer balloon.
FIG. 12 is a graph of the distention characteristics for certain materials suitable for the inner balloon.
Referring now to the Figures, and most particularly to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, a stent delivery system or medical device 10 may be seen. System or device 10 includes a three lumen catheter 12 preferably formed of a polymer or combination of polymers such as polyamide, polyester, polyimide, or the like and carries a slidable sleeve 14 on the exterior thereof System 10 also includes a valve body or manifold 16 preferably formed of a relatively rigid conventional polymer material, such as polycarbonate. Manifold 16 is secured to catheter 12 in a conventional fluid-tight manner and has ports 18, 20, and 22 in communication with respective lumens of catheter 12. Port 18 is in fluid communication with lumen 24; port 22 is in fluid communication with lumen 26; and port 20 is in communication with lumen 28, with port 20 and lumen 28 preferably adapted to receive a conventional guide wire 30. As shown in FIG. 1, outer sleeve 14 extends to a region near the proximal end of assembly 10 and is thus retractable by manipulation of the proximal end of sleeve 14, either directly or through the use of an enlarged portion such as a finger loop 15. Sleeve 14 may be formed of a polyolefin such as polyethylene or polypropylene; a fluorinated polymer such as polytetrafluoroethylene or fluoroethylene propylene; a polyamide such as nylon, or other suitable material, as desired, and may be homogeneous or may be formed from more than one kind of polymer. For example, use of more than one kind of polymer allows sleeve 14 to be formed with a distal remainder including the proximal portion having a durometer of about 70D to about 80D.
Referring now also to FIGS. 3-7, system 10 also includes a first or inner balloon 32, a second or outer balloon 34 and an expandable stent 36. The first, or inner, balloon 32 is preferably formed from a non-compliant material, and the outer balloon 34 is preferably formed from a compliant type material.
As use herein, a "non-compliant" material balloon will exhibit a diameter change of about 10 percent or less (preferably 3 to 10 percent) when its internal pressure changes from 4 atmospheres to 13 atmospheres and a "compliant" material balloon will exhibit a diameter change of about 11 percent or more (preferably 11 to 20 percent) when its internal pressure changes from 4 atmospheres to 13 atmospheres.
Each of balloons 32, 34 are preferably formed with a "memory" so that when deflated or depressurized, they will return to a rolled or "folded" state (known as "rewrap") as indicated in the figures. Stent 36 is preferably a non-self deploying or balloon-expandable type stent, such as depicted in U.S. Pat. No. 4,733,665.
FIG. 3 shows the assembly with both balloons deflated, but with the sleeve 14 retracted and with the stent 36 ready for deployment. Lumen 24 is in fluid communication with the interior of inner balloon 32 via a skive 41. Lumen 26 is in fluid communication with the region between inner balloon 32 and the interior of outer balloon 34 via a second skive 43. A first pair of radiopaque marker bands 38, 40 are preferably positioned to indicate the location and extent of first balloon 32 and an anticipated post-deployment location and length of stent 36. A second pair of bands 42, 44 may be used to indicate the location and extent of the second balloon 34 and a predeployed location and length of stent 36. As may be seen in the figures, the first balloon 32 is positioned radially inward of the stent 36 and has a working section 33 having a length 37 substantially equal to the axial length of the stent 36 when the stent is in a deployed condition (as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7) and the second balloon 34 has a working section 35 having a length substantially equal to or greater than the non-deployed length of the stent 36, as indicated most particularly in FIG. 5. It is to be understood that the non-self-deploying stent 36 useful in the practice of the present invention may "shrink" or reduce in axial length by as much as 15 to 20 percent or more (of the non-deployed length) when deployed to the design diameter or condition for the stent. Such axial shrinkage occurs because the filaments or elemental sections of the stent 36 are typically not extensible, but rather move from a generally axial orientation to a more radial (helical) orientation.
Because of this property of the stent, it is useful to define a working section for each balloon in relation to the length of the stent when the balloon is disposed within the stent for expansion against the stent. Thus, the working section of the outer balloon will be substantially equal to the length of a collapsed or non-deployed stent, while the working section of the inner balloon will preferably be substantially equal to the length of the post-deployed or expanded stent, after it is enlarged by inflation of the outer balloon, but before any further radial enlargement by the inner balloon. Stated more generally, the working section of a balloon is preferably about equal to the length of the stent as it exists immediately prior to the stent being acted upon (urged radially outward) by that balloon. Making the outer balloon working section equal to the length of the non-deployed stent will ensure that the stent is deployed along its full axial length, while making the working section of the inner balloon equal to the length of the deployed stent will avoid direct contact between the inner balloon and the vessel during post-deployment expansion of the stent and will cause the inner balloon to fully engage the deployed stent for post-deployment "processing" (i.e., "setting" or further enlargement) of the stent. Because of the higher pressures utilized in post-deployment expansion, direct contact between the inner balloon and the vessel could result in over-expansion of the vessel in the regions beyond the axial ends of the stent if the inner balloon were permitted to be longer than the post-deployment length of the stent. Having the inner balloon substantially shorter than the length of the deployed stent may result in an undesirable condition wherein the stent protrudes into the vessel at one or both ends thereof.
As an example, and not by way of limitation, the stent may be 20 mm long before deployment and 15.4 mm long after deployment. For such a stent, the present invention will preferably have a working section for the inner balloon of 15.4 mm and a working section for the outer balloon of 20 mm or more.
In the practice of the present invention, the stent delivery system is manipulated until the stent is located radially inward of a stenosis in a vessel to be treated, preferably using radiopaque marker bands. The sleeve 14 is then retracted using finger pull 15 until the stent 36 is exposed as shown in FIG. 3. The outer balloon 34 is inflated to deploy the stent, as shown in FIG. 6. The outer balloon 34 is then deflated and the inner or first balloon is then inflated (as shown in FIG. 7) to "set" or fix the stent 36 in place. The inner balloon is then deflated and the stent delivery system (less the stent 36) is removed from the vessel, leaving the stent in place. The outer balloon is preferably of a softer and tougher material than the inner balloon, protecting the inner balloon from damage.
The inner balloon, being non-compliant, will also enable a stenosis enlargement procedure, as illustrated by FIGS. 8, 9, and 10. In FIG. 8, a simplified view of a stenosis 46 interior of a vessel 48 is shown. The stent 36 is shown deployed in FIG. 9. However, even after deployment using the outer balloon 34, the stenosis may protrude at least partially radially into the interior bore of the vessel 48. Inflating the inner balloon 32 will urge the stenosis 46 radially outward, substantially restoring the interior diameter of the stenosis to the diameter of the bore of the vessel, as shown in FIG. 10. Using the inner balloon 32 to accomplish this radial enlargement of the stenosis bore typically will entail higher pressures than used to deploy the stent, and thus will utilize the non-compliant character of the inner balloon to hold the diameter more constant over a greater pressure range than would be the case with a compliant inner balloon. It is to be understood that the outer balloon is preferably used to deploy the stent at relatively low inflation pressures and the inner balloon is preferably used to either "set" or shape the stent using relatively high pressures, but without over-enlarging the radial dimension of the deployed stent. It is to be further understood, however, that post-deployment inflation of the inner, non-compliant balloon 32 will typically result in further, limited, expansion of the stent 36, and consequent similar expansion of the vessel region 48 radially outward of the stent 36. In the practice of the present invention, it may be desirable to utilize a laminated balloon construction, particularly for the inner balloon 32. Such a laminated structure may include an exterior nylon layer, for example, and a PET (polyethylene terepthalate) inner layer, combining the puncture resistance and improved rewrap memory of the nylon with the non-compliant high pressure capability of the PET.
Referring now to FIGS. 11 and 12, the distention curves for various materials for certain compliant and non-compliant balloons may be seen. In FIG. 11, two example compliant materials for the outer balloon are shown. Curve 50 illustrates the diameter change versus pressure for a polyethylene polymer, and curve 52 represents nylon 12. In FIG. 12, various example non-compliant materials are illustrated: curve 54 is for a PET material, and curves 56, 58, and 60 show the distention characteristic for PET/PA 12 laminate construction, (where PE is polyethylene, PET is polyethylene terephthalate, PA refers to a polyamide material and PA12 refers specifically to nylon 12). Curve 56 is for a two layer laminate having an internal PET layer laminated to an external PA layer wherein the PET/PA thickness ratio is 75/25; curve 58 is for 50% PET, 50% PA; and curve 60 is for 25% PET, 75% PA. Suitable wall thicknesses for the PET/PA laminated structure are from about 0.00037″ to about 0.00084″ overall. Although the curves shown are for layer ratios of 75/25%, 50/50%, and 25/75%, it is to be understood that other layer thickness ratios (such as 60% PET/40% PA) are suitable as well. For illustrative purposes, the following table gives approximate percentage diameter changes over a 4-13 atmosphere pressure range for various representative polymeric materials that are commercially available:
Generally a variety of polymer types could be used as either the compliant or non compliant material. One skilled in the art could formulate a polymer type so that the polymer would have the right characteristics. Examples of the polymer types that could be used include the below listed materials. Suitable materials for the balloons are as follows.
Various nylons (depending upon how they are formulated) can be incorporated into either the compliant or non-compliant balloon (alone or in a blend or in a laminated structure), specifically: Grilamid L25 (available from EMS of Zurich, Switzerland); Vestamide 2101 F or Vestamide 1801 F (available from H_ls America Inc. of Piscataway, N.J.).
For the non-compliant material, several applicable PET homopolymers are: ICI 5822C (available from ICI Americas, P.O. Box 630, Cardell plant, Fayetteville, N.C., 28302) and Shell Traytuf 1006.
For the compliant material, the following are representative of acceptable polymers:
Although a number of materials have been listed above, it is to be understood that the compliant and non-compliant balloons can be prepared from a wide range of thermoplastic and or thermosetting polymer resins having the desired compliant or non-compliant characteristics.
A method of using the stent deployment device 10 is as follows. The stent deployment device 10 is inserted into a vessel and maneuvered to position the distal region at a treatment site. The sheath 14 is then retracted such that the stent 36 is presented to the treatment site. The outer balloon 34 is then inflated to deploy the stent 36 and then deflated to rewrap the outer balloon. The inner balloon is then inflated to expand or "set" the stent in the vessel at the treatment site, after which the inner balloon is deflated to rewrap the inner balloon, and the device 10 is eventually withdrawn from the vessel.
The invention is not to be taken as limited to all of the details thereof as modifications and variations thereof may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention.

Just next to the cottage is a shared children's outdoor play area, with a treehouse, slide and swings (please note visitor's use this at their own risk).
There is also an old tennis court directly next to the cottages, not Wimbledon standards, but certainly playable and provides lots of fun for all!
There is ample parking and plenty of space for bikes and surfboards should you wish to bring them with you.
The fenced outdoor heated swimming pool (available from Whitsun until mid- September) is a welcome treat for those hotter summer days, and ensures you will not need to travel very far. There are chairs, tables and sun loungers. The pool is shared with the other cottages and the country house, but never gets crowded or busy, and more often than not you will have it all to yourselves. The pool is 28ft long and 7ft deep, and sure to provide hours of entertainment!!
Electricity is worked by a card meter, the first £5 is included and the remaining cards can easily be bought on site . The electricity is very economical and most guests only use approx £10-£15 per week.

Product description
From the author of 'Saturday Night and Sunday Morning' come stories of hardship and hope in post-war Britain. The title story in this classic collection tells of Smith, a defiant young rebel, inhabiting the no-man's land of institutionalised Borstal. As his steady jog-trot rhythm transports him over an unrelenting, frost-bitten earth, he wonders why, for whom and for what he is running. A groundbreaking work, 'The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner' captured the grim isolation of the working class in the English Midlands when it was first published in 1960s. But Sillitoe's depiction of petty crime and deep-seated anger in industrial and desperate cities remains as potent today as it was almost half a century ago.

Author information
Alan Sillitoe left school at 14 to work in various factories until becoming an air traffic control assistant with the Ministry of Aircraft Production in 1945. He began writing after four years in the RAF, and lived for six years in France and Spain. In 1958, 'Saturday Night and Sunday Morning' was published, and 'The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner', which won the Hawthornden Prize for literature, came out the following year. Both these books were made into films.
Review quote
'I have read nothing to compare with it.' Penelope Mortimer 'Sillitoe writes with tremendous energy, and his stories simply tear along.' Daily Telegraph 'All the imaginative sympathy in the world can't fake this kind of thing. It must have been lived in, seen, touched, smelled: and we are lucky to have a writer who has come out of it knowing the truth, and having the skill to turn that truth into art.' New Statesman 'Graphic, tough, outspoken, informal.' The Times 'A beautiful piece of work, confirming Sillitoe as a writer of unusual spirit and great promise.' Guardian 'A major writer.' Malcolm Bradbury

By STEVEN NALLEY
Ben Griffith confirmed Tuesday he will leave his position as Starkville's city planner on Oct. 18 after a six-year tenure.
Griffith made the announcement during Tuesday's meeting of the Starkville Planning and Zoning Commission. He said he has accepted a planning position in another city outside the state, but he declined to comment further on his new position on the record.
"I wanted to let you know it's been an honor and privilege working with you, and I wish you all the best," Griffith said to the zoning commission.
Several members of the commission, including commission chair Jerry Emison, congratulated Griffith on his new job. Emison said he was particularly grateful to Griffith for his professionalism.
"You've maintained your poise, focused on your work (and) stayed unflappable throughout some pretty exciting deliberations at least since I've been on the commission, and I thank you for that," Emison said to Griffith. "I'd also like to thank you for ... the energy you've brought into this. You work incredible hours ... you define dedication ... and amazingly, you do all this and you're affable. I think this (move to another city's planning position) is a terrific thing for you, (and) it's a terrible thing for the city of Starkville."
Mayor Parker Wiseman said the timetable for replacing Griffith is not yet set in stone. The city planner position is the latest of several municipal leadership positions to see turnover in Starkville over the past year, with Emma Gandy replacing Sharon Boyd as sanitation director, Herman Peters serving as interim director of Parks and Recreation while the city seeks a permanent replacement for Matthew Rye, and Taylor Adams becoming the city's director of finance, functionally replacing retired city clerk Markeeta Outlaw.
"We've been fortunate over the years to have very capable department heads, and that is a trend I expect to continue in the future," Wiseman said. "Filling a (departmental) vacancy is always a significant task. I anticipate that (Lynn) Spruill, the chief administrative officer, will serve in an interim (planning) capacity as the board lays out a timetable for the search process."
Like Emison, Wiseman said Griffith has been a pleasure to work with.
"Ben's got an easygoing demeanor, and his personality is approachable, which is important in a job that deals so directly with the public," Wiseman said.
Griffith has done much more than fulfill his primary responsibilities as city planner over the past six years, Wiseman said. Griffith coordinated the city's floodplain program and its Americans with Disabilities Act program.
He also oversaw the city's establishment of the Starkville Historic Preservation Commission, Wiseman said.
"Ben has worn many hats, and he's worn them all well," Wiseman said. "He goes above and beyond the call of duty to give Starkville his very best effort. He also works long hours well into the night, and it's not uncommon at all for him to be at City Hall on weekends. Starkville is better for the dedicated service Ben has provided over the last six years, and he will be sorely missed."
Michael Fazio, chairman of the Starkville Historic Preservation Commission, said he was also glad to have worked with Griffith.
"(Griffith) always takes care of everything that's his responsibility," Fazio said. "He's just a very responsible fellow. It makes my job a lot easier."

Base types, Collections, Diagnostics, IO, RegEx…
In my introduction to tracing (http://blogs.msdn.com/bclteam/archive/2005/03/15/396431.aspx), I outlined the basics of how to use TraceSources, TraceListeners, and SourceSwitches to trace the flow of an application. I also covered how to configure Whidbey tracing with a configuration file.
In this series of three follow-up articles, I plan to discuss the use of TraceFilters, custom listeners, and a recent change we made to where config-defined listeners create their output files.
This short final section (part C) will focus on how relative paths in tracing config files are understood.
A Final Note (What Relative Paths in Config Files are Relative To)
Although this does not relate to filters or custom listeners like the rest of the second installment of my tracing primer, it's an interesting bit of information that may be useful to people who use our tracing system, so I thought I would include it here.
Up until a couple of weeks ago, a relative path in a config file (specifically, in the initializeData attribute of a listener declaration) would point to a file relative to the working directory when the listener was created.
This was a problem, though, for many ASP.Net applications that were using System.Diagnostics tracing because the working directory would (by default) be the .NET framework directory since this is where the aspnet_wp.exe assembly, which runs these apps, lives. This is not a desirable place for tracing output to go by default.
So, we've made a change such that relative paths in configuration files will now refer to paths relative to the config file's location. For many apps, this won't change anything, but for ASP.Net apps, it will keep the tracing output in a reasonable location.
The one scenario that this will disrupt will be the scenario in which listeners are defined in the machine.config file for winforms and console apps to use. This is not a place where we suggest defining listeners, but up until this change it worked. The problem now (as you may have guessed) is that such listeners will now create output files relative to the .NET framework directory's config path. This is almost as bad as the .NET framework directory itself.
If your app faces this problem, here are suggested work arounds:
Let me just reiterate, though, that we intend for ASP.Net users to define listeners in their web.config files and for the output files to be easily found. We did not expect that users would need to create listeners in the machine.config file. That's why changing the paths to be relative to the config file rather than the working directory makes sense. For most (non-ASP.Net) applications, the updated behavior will not change anything.
I hope that everyone found this information to be interesting. If people enjoy this sort of design decision information, I'll continue to post similar items as we make interesting decisions with regard to System.Diagnostics tracing design.
Also, this is the final installment of my tracing primer (for the time being). So, for now, let me just say that I hope it has helped anyone with questions about how to use System.Diagnostics tracing in their applications and let me encourage you to send any further questions you may have regarding these APIs to the BCL team's public feedback alias (email@example.com). Also, if there are tracing topics not covered in one of these four posts that you would really like to see me blog on, let me know. If I get enough requests for interesting material, I may put together a part III down the road. Thanks!

Is Lawrence Block giving his stamp-collecting hit man the last word?
If 'Hit Me' (Mulholland Books) turns out to be Lawrence Block's last work of fiction, as the 74-year-old mystery grandmaster suggested to the New York Daily News it might be, then it's a fine finale for a writer who never stopped growing, and who allowed some of his series characters the same privilege of changing.
I can't remember if I first found Block through his old fiction-writing column in Writer's Digest, or through one of his early Matthew Scudder or Bernie Rhodenbarr mysteries. But from the beginning I found his writing like pizza: good even in its ordinary manifestations, mind-blowing in its excellent ones. As a reader, I feel the same way about his late friend and occasional collaborator, Donald E. Westlake. As professional writers of popular fiction, they saw their job as keeping readers entertained enough to turn the page, and turn the pages we did. »Read Full Blog Post

Dazzling Glinda ensures a bewitching 'Wicked'
Watching Hayley Podschun's captivating Glinda on Thursday night at the Marcus Center, I realized how much this ambitious sorority girl from Oz has in common with the musical in which she co-stars with Elphaba, the future Wicked Witch of the West.
Like the dazzling Glinda, "Wicked" knows how to milk an entrance, fill a room and put on a show. This is the same tour that was here in 2010, and the production values in evidence then continue to impress, from the lavish Edwardian costumes and matching steampunk set to the spectacular lighting design and 14-piece pit orchestra. »Read Full Article
Gaiman's new book a beautiful collision of memory, mortality
If you ask me, I'll tell you that "The Ocean at the End of the Lane" is Neil Gaiman's portrait of the artist as a young man. With this book, Gaiman has crafted an achingly beautiful memoir of an imagination and a spellbinding story that sets three women at the center of everything.
If you ask me, I'll tell you that this is not only a creation myth (of imagination, of a meaningful life, of the universe), but also a wonderful fairy tale with some truly creepy moments. Set in the English countryside of Gaiman's childhood, the story's middle-aged narrator (an artist) flees a family funeral, retreating "toward a house that had not existed for decades." He ends up at the pond at the end of the lane where he first met the Hempstock women (Old Mrs. Hempstock, Ginnie and Lettie), a trinity of females who recall when "the moon was made," who can "snip fragments of time," and who are "not in the fabric of the universe," but "outside of it." »Read Full Article

A sometimes stinging Venice Biennale
Venice, Italy — Every two years, this ancient and liquidy city is deluged by the art world, making it seem more unreal than it already is. Curators, collectors, critics and artists cram onto the Venetian islands for a three-day preview of what is effectively the Olympics of art, the Venice Biennale.
Attired like something out of "The Talented Mr. Ripley" – tailored and European and with all of the ingratiating and insinuating implied by that reference – many of the well-heeled dash like 8-year-olds sprinting for Space Mountain when the gates open each day. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

by Steven Hale
After a hearing this morning chaotic enough for courtroom farce, Judge Kevin Sharp denied former Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Larry Crim's legal challenge to the Aug. 2 primary, in which Crim was defeated by disavowed rival Mark Clayton. Clayton is the self-professed Democrat whose platform echoes many of the far right's planks on abortion and same-sex marriage, along with the threat of a supposed "NAFTA superhighway" stretching from Canada to Mexico.
In a lawsuit filed yesterday, Crim accused the Tennessee Democratic Party and its chairman Chip Forrester of failing to get Clayton off the ballot, charging that Clayton is not a legitimate Democratic candidate.
The suit also named the state's Division of Elections. But when Crim and his lawyer, Michael Rowan, showed up at this morning's emergency hearing, they were evidently unprepared.
When the proceeding began, Sharp asked Rowan — who, curiously, appeared with Clayton at a recent press conference — to read the motion he had filed with the court, which Sharp said was illegible. Having not brought his own copy, Rowan was forced to retrieve the document from the judge.
After hearing the motion, Sharp pointed out that Rowan had failed to follow several local rules when filing the complaint. Among them was that while Rowan had apparently styled his motion like a legal memo, he had not filed an actual memorandum outlining the facts of the case and arguments pertaining to them.
Nevertheless, Sharp gave Rowan the chance to argue his case orally. He asked Rowan why Crim had not raised such a complaint in the months leading up to the election, given that "everyone knew in April that Mr. Clayton had qualified."
Rowan argued that Crim had "detrimentally relied" on the party to vet the candidates and questioned whether it was Crim's "job to go out and check all the candidates."
Rowan was continually reprimanded by the relatively restrained Sharp for interrupting him in the middle of his questions. That was not the most unorthodox procedure of the morning. At one point, Clayton — who had been granted a motion to intervene, making him a party in the case — stood and declared an objection from the gallery, drawing a swift rebuke from Sharp and widened eyes from the rest of the courtroom.
Closing his argument, Rowan said there were two victims here: Crim, who ultimately finished fourth in the primary, and the voters, who he argued had been defrauded.
Representing the Division of Elections, Janet Kleinfelter repeated the list of procedural issues with the suit. Kleinfelter said — while admitting that she couldn't believe she was saying it — the state's preference was for the court to resolve the matter in spite of those problems, so that the proceedings would not interfere with the upcoming elections.
Furthermore, she pointed out that the state's Division of Elections could not be ordered to stop certifying elections, because it doesn't do that in the first place. That job is left to county election commissions. Kleinfelter told the court at least 65 counties have already certified their elections, and the deadline for the rest to do so is Monday.
Lastly, she argued that Rowan had filed suit against the wrong person. Citing the 11th Amendment, she said the Division of Elections could not be sued, and that the suit should have named state election coordinator Mark Goins. It did not.
TNDP general counsel Gerard Stranch — who found himself in the odd position of tacitly defending the legitimacy of Clayton's candidacy — reiterated the lack of a legal memo or any proof of the suit's claims. He also noted that Forrester (who is out of town for his father's funeral, according to Stranch) had not yet been served — still another procedural flaw.
Based on the problems with the suit's filing alone, Stranch said, it did not rise to the point at which the party even needed to respond to it. That said, he argued such a challenge could only come after the election had been certified. At that point, Stranch said, it should go to the party, not federal court.
Adding to Rowan's troubles, Stranch alleged that the attorney had improperly contacted represented parties, such as Forrester, party secretary Gale Jones Carson and party treasurer David Garrison. After more interruptions from Rowan, and more rebukes from Sharp, Rowan denied the charge. Later, seeking to clarify the situation, he said he did not recall having such contact.
As if to provide the hearing with a crescendo, Clayton came forward to present his case. His presentation seemed relatively focused, however, compared to the bedlam that preceded it. Clayton mostly outlined the case made in a motion filed just before the hearing (which can be read in PDF form below). Essentially, he argued that his views were known by plenty of people who could have raised a complaint months ago.
Clayton also claimed that he and Crim had spoken, and that Crim had made "quid pro quo inducements" to get Clayton to forego his candidacy and join Crim's campaign. Speaking to reporters afterward, Crim said the two had spoken, but that he was not aware at the time of the views Clayton is being opposed for now.
After quite literally holding court for some time, Clayton was in the middle of explaining his claim that Forrester was a racist when Sharp stopped him.
"I'm not interested in your beef with the chairman of the Democratic party," Sharp said.
Just before Sharp summarized, once more, the litany of problems with Crim's suit, Rowan conceded that it had been a "rushed job" and threw up his hands.
"I'm done here, your honor," he said.

Hopefully the girls from our old board will find their way here and anyone new is welcome too! Let's talk about Japan!

Arizona State Sun Devils
Kickoff time set for Pac-12 title game
Arizona State is bound for the Pac-12 Championship game and, with a win versus Arizona on Saturday, they won't have to go anywhere. A loss to the Wildcats -- who upset Oregon on Saturday -- would send the game to Palo Alto, where No. 8 Stanford would play host.
Over the weekend, the conference announced that the matchup, which will pit ASU vs. Stanford, is set to begin at 5:45 p.m. MDT.
Though Stanford and Oregon are tied for the Pac-12 North division title, the Cardinal hold the tiebreaker, thanks to their win over the Ducks earlier this season.
Similarly, ASU has already secured its spot in the Championship game, thanks to its win over USC earlier this season, though the Trojans could still force a tie with the Sun Devils if they win Saturday against UCLA.

Leigh Lambert Art
Born in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, 1979 Lambert lived in the North East until in 1996 his family relocated to the beautiful town of Warwick, in Warwickshire, Central England.
Leigh began to draw and paint from a very early age, in fact as soon as he could hold a pencil or paint brush. As he progressed through his school years his attention to detail in his drawings and paintings became very apparent and is subsequently one of characteristics that makes his work so distinctive. His inspiration for his early paintings came from his childhood interests, including landscapes, and in later years from his "canny knack" to capture a view, usually with a very interesting building being the focal point.

Better than vista,
This review is from: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional, Upgrade Edition for XP or Vista users (PC DVD), 1 User (CD-ROM)
Vista was a good operating system but had problems that could cripple ones head! This new Windows 7 version is a nice polished cleaner product that doesn't hog your system's memory and its directx 11 is a nice bonus as it enhances the graphics of your system. The install is an easy process, and a internet connection is needed to recieve any updates from microsoft. I did a upgrade install, which is an install from vista buissness to windows 7 proffessional, though a clean install option is given. Be sure to backup your system before you install(you need a external hard drive or lots of DVDs as backup takes up huge space) and the install software will check if your system can even install windows 7(which you should check before buying) and after a few minutes of checking any software conflicts, which a few came up (like itunes), the install process br=egan. This takes a couple of hours which you are not prompted to do anything so just leave it be as it installs. just make sure your system is not sceduled to go into standby or anything. After install i checked out the features which were great! stuff like the taskbar and windows media player looked cool and the system seemed faster doing things. Another thing new is the media center which is beyond cool and takes time seting up but its worth it. invest in a tv tuner and you reap its benefits.
overall great features like windows peek and shaking are alright if not heartstopping! windows flip 3D is still there along with other vista stuff. Great product!

Congratulations to radiation oncology resident Dr. Michael Eblan for his receipt of a first place award for his oral presentation in the clinical science research category at the UNC Hospitals Second Annual George F. Sheldon Resident Research Symposium. His talk was titled, "Prospective characterization of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy: a pilot study." Dr. Eblan's research mentors for this project include radiation oncologists Dr. Andrew Wang and Bhisham Chera.
Dr. Eblan collected a plaque and cash prize during the symposium's awards ceremony, held on Friday, May 15, 2015.]]>
The UNC Department of Radiation Oncology was saddened to learn of the passing of one of its founding faculty members, Professor Emeritus Dr. James Raleigh. Dr. Raleigh served as the first Head of the (then) Division of Molecular Radiobiology (now the Division of Cancer Biology), arriving at UNC in 1988 from the University of Alberta's Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. He retired from UNC in 2008.
Dr. Raleigh's key contribution to the field of radiation oncology was the development, preclinical testing, and ultimately, use in cancer patients, of a drug that marked the presence of tumor hypoxia (regions in tumors low in oxygen). Hypoxia can make tumors more resistant to radiation and chemotherapy, so being aware of its presence before treatment can be helpful in personalizing a patient's treatment plan. Dr. Raleigh's "hypoxia markers" have since been commercialized, and are used world-wide, not only in studies of tumor hypoxia as it relates to radiation therapy, but also in other human diseases where poor oxygenation is thought to play a role, such as cirrhosis of the liver or myocardial infarction.
Jim was a colleague, mentor and friend to many people in the Department, as well as in the broader UNC, national, and international cancer research communities. He was a kind, modest and gentle man who will be greatly missed.]]>
Congratulations to Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology Dr. Ron Chen and rising 4th year radiation oncology resident Dr. Aaron Falchook on receipt of grant funding from the North Carolina Translational and Clinical Sciences Institute (NC TraCS) for their study entitled "Aggressive End-of-Life Care among Patients with Cancer under Age 65: Analysis of the HealthCore Integrated Research Database".
Well done, gentlemen!
Lauria served on the Administrative Professionals 2015 Committee for the hospital, working for a year in advance to plan training and celebratory events during the 2015 Administrative Professionals Conference. Approximately 300 people attended the conference, for which Lauria served as co-chair for the Advertising Committee.
Melanie chaired the Administrative Professionals 2015 celebrations for Oncology. She directed a committee of ten supervisors and managers, to plan decorations, food and events for over 100 support staff.
Well done to you both!]]>
Meanwhile, radiation oncologist Dr. Mahesh Varia has also been honored at a ceremony for the UNC Health Care Employee Ambassadors. Ambassadors are UNC Healthcare employees who perform more than 50 hours a year of community service. Dr. Varia has for many years done volunteer work in remote international locations through the Association of Indian Physicians of Northern Ohio.]]>
After much hard work and preparation, administrative associate Brittney Stone successfully passed her Radiation Oncology Certified Coder (ROCC®) examination.
Congratulations Brittney Stone, ROCC!
The NC TraCS 4D Strategic Initiative gives priority to grant proposals focusing on the commercialization of new drugs, devices and diagnostics.]]>
