My topic this week is the downtown parking study.
The commissioners have agreed to bring legislation to the table regarding a downtown parking study. The total cost of this study will be $38,500 with $20,000 coming from one of the local foundations and $18,500 coming from the Battery Park TIF, which is an excessive amount to study a small area of town.
Does the city need a study to tell us what we already know, that downtown is growing and it is in need of more parking spaces? With the Rieger being remodeled and the possibility of City Hall moving downtown, both projects will place a strain on the parking spaces. Will the study show we need meters for revenue, maybe there is a need to add a couple more floors to the county parking garage, or even an additional parking garage? The city placed meters downtown once before and it caused a loss of business. We even moved City Hall downtown and decided to move it back out of town because of the parking situation. When will the city learn from its past mistakes and stop repeating them?
What happens when the study is completed? Will the city waste even more money because the city cannot afford to take action on the recommendations leaving the city with $18,500 of wasted money? The city has a broken phone system that can't be repaired anymore and we are wasting money on a study. Where are the responsibilities and priorities for meeting our most critical obligations when it comes to accountability of our tax dollars?
The Mainstreet Association meets regularly with the City Manager to lobby for their downtown projects. A more even distribution of projects is needed so it doesn't all flow into the downtown district. Sometimes the city has to just say no to the group's demands and allow the rest of the city to catch up on projects needed elsewhere.
It seems when the Battery Park TIF ($53,00 balance) starts to accumulate any kind of funds, the commissioners feel a need to burn through the money. Ms. Ard has a list of priorities and a parking study was not one of them. The commissioners need to stay focused and not wander from the critical priorities set forth for the year.
Until next week, lets hope the commissioners rethink their vote enough to be more responsible with our tax dollars.

Aphids are emerging as sentinels of climate change, researchers at BBSRC-supported Rothamsted Research have shown. One of the UK's most damaging aphids the peach-potato aphid (Myzus persicae) has been found to be flying two weeks earlier for every 1C rise in mean temperature for January and February combined. This year, the first aphid was caught on 25 April, which is almost four weeks ahead of the 42-year average. This work is reported in BBSRC Business, the quarterly research highlights magazine of BBSRC (the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council).
Dr Richard Harrington of the Rothamsted Insect Survey said: "One of the most noticeable consequences of climate change in the UK is the frequency of mild winters. As a direct result of this, aphids seeking new sources of food are appearing significantly earlier in the year and in significantly higher numbers. We have been studying the seasonal biology of aphids for a long time now and we know that populations can continue to grow over the winter and spring provided that conditions are warm enough. After a warm winter, there are much larger numbers flying and they are hence detected much earlier. This means that there are more aphids flying in spring and early summer, when crops are particularly vulnerable to damage."
Scientists at Rothamsted Research have been monitoring the flying form of all aphid species for 42 years. They use a network of 16 suction traps (12 in England and 4 in Scotland), placed at various sites, to collect a representative sample of all flying insects. The long term data on aphids can be used to understand the wider implications of climate change, and also to prepare for the season ahead by determining the need for and timing of aphid control measures (based on preceding winter temperatures). As well as being important indicators of a changing climate, aphids can cause devastating damage to crops. They extract large amounts of sap, weake

The present invention relates to apparatus and methods for filtering or removing matter from within the vascular system. More particularly, the present invention provides a low profile self-expanding vascular device useful in the ascending aorta for capturing emboli generated during vascular procedures.
Percutaneous interventional procedures to treat occlusive vascular disease, such as angioplasty, atherectomy and stenting, often dislodge material from the vessel walls. This dislodged material, known as emboli, enters the bloodstream, and may be large enough to occlude smaller downstream vessels, potentially blocking blood flow to tissue. The resulting ischemia poses a serious threat to the health or life of a patient if the blockage occurs in critical tissue, such as the heart, lungs, or brain.
The deployment of cannulas, cross clamps or occlusion balloons during bypass surgery, or stents and stent-grafts to treat vascular disease also involves the introduction of foreign objects into the bloodstream and may result in the formation of clots or release of emboli. Such particulate matter, if released into the bloodstream, also may cause infarction or stroke.
Numerous previously known methods and apparatus have been proposed to reduce the risk of embolism. U.S. Pat. No. 5,833,644 to Zadno-Azizi et al., for example, describes the use of balloon-tipped catheter to temporarily occlude flow through a vessel from which a stenosis is to be removed. Stenotic material removed during a treatment procedure is evacuated from the vessel before the flow of blood is restored. A drawback of such previously known systems, however, is that occlusion of antegrade flow through the vessel may result in damage to the tissue normally fed by the blocked vessel.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,814,064 to Daniel et al. describes an emboli filter system having a radially expandable mesh filter disposed on the distal end of a guide wire. The filter is deployed distal to a region of stenosis, and any interventional devices, such as angioplasty balloons or stent delivery systems, are advanced along the guide wire. The filter is designed to capture emboli generated during treatment of the stenosis while permitting blood to flow through the filter. Similar filter systems are described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,723,549 to Wholey et al., and U.S. Pat. No. 5,827,324 to Cassell et al.
One disadvantage of radially expandable filter systems such as described in the foregoing patents is the relative complexity of the devices, which typically comprise numerous parts. Connecting more than a minimal number of such parts to a guide wire generally reduces the ability of the guide wire to negotiate tortuous anatomy and increases the profile of the device in its delivery configuration. Moreover, such filter devices are generally incapable of preventing material from escaping from the filter during the process of collapsing the filter for removal.
International Publication No. WO 98/39053 describes a filter system comprising an elongated member, a radially expandable hoop and a cone-shaped basket. The hoop is affixed to the elongated member, and the cone-shaped basket is attached to the hoop and the elongated member so that the hoop forms the mouth of the basket. The filter system includes a specially configured delivery catheter that retains the mouth of the basket in a radially retracted position during delivery.
While the filter system described in the foregoing International Publication reduces the number of components used to deploy the cone-shaped basket, compared to the radial strut-type filter elements described hereinabove, it too has drawbacks. Chief among these, it is expected that it will be difficult to reduce the diameter of the radially expandable hoop to its retracted position. In particular, as the hoop is contracted through smaller radii of curvature, the stiffness of the hoop is expected to increase dramatically. This increased stiffness prevents the hoop from being contracted more tightly and is expected to result in a large delivery profile.
In view of the foregoing disadvantages of previously known apparatus and methods, it would be desirable to provide a vascular device, e.g., for use as a vascular filter in the ascending aorta, that, overcomes such disadvantages, and employs few components.
It also would be desirable to provide a vascular device that is capable of being contracted to a small delivery profile.
It further would be desirable to provide a vascular device that is capable of being advanced into position from the downstream direction of blood flow.
It still further would be desirable to provide a vascular device that reduces the risk of emboli or thrombus removed from the vessel wall escaping from the device when the device is collapsed and removed.
In view of the foregoing, it is an object of the present invention to provide a vascular device, e.g., for use as a vascular filter in the ascending aorta, that overcomes disadvantages associated with previous vascular filters and thrombectomy/embolectomy devices, and employs few components.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a vascular device that is capable of being contracted to a small delivery profile.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a vascular device that is capable of being advanced into position from the downstream direction of blood flow.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a vascular device that reduces the risk of emboli or thrombus removed from the vessel wall escaping from the device when the device is collapsed and removed.
These and other objects of the present invention are accomplished by providing a vascular device suitable for use as a vascular filter in the ascending aorta that comprises a blood permeable sac affixed at its perimeter to a support hoop having an articulation region. The support hoop is attached in a distal region of an elongated member, such as a guide wire, and supports a distally-oriented mouth of the sac when the device is deployed in a vessel. In accordance with the principles of the present invention, the support hoop includes a reduced-thickness articulation region that enables the support hoop to be contracted to very small radii of curvature without the problems of increased stiffness and kinking of previously known devices. The vascular device may therefore be used with delivery sheaths having diameters as small as 0.060″.
The support hoop preferably also has a curved profile that prevents the articulation region, when folded, from damaging the wall of the vessel. The curved profile also permits the device to effectively contact the walls of the vessel and reduce emboli or thrombus removed from the vessel wall from bypassing the sac. The articulation region, when combined with a support hoop having a curved profile, causes the sides of the support hoop to fold inwards towards one-another when the vascular device is collapsed into a sheath for removal. This, in turn, closes the mouth of the sac and reduces the potential for emboli or thrombus to be released from the vascular device during removal.
Methods of using the vascular device of the present invention are also provided, particularly in the context of a vascular filter placed in the ascending aorta.
The above and other objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent upon consideration of the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference characters refer to like parts throughout, and in which:
Referring to
As described hereinabove, one difficulty with such vascular filters is that the hoop used to support the filter sac experiences increased stiffness when contracted to small diameters, i.e., due to the sharp directional change at the tip of the hoop, thereby limiting the minimum delivery profile achievable for such instruments. Although this effect may be reduced by decreasing the thickness of the wire employed in hoop 12, at the point at which the wire becomes sufficiently thin to accommodate the bending stresses, the wire is too thin to effectively radially expand and urge the filter sac into engagement with the vessel wall.
On the other hand, as shown in
In addition, when the filter is subsequently deployed in vessel V, as shown in
The vascular device of the present invention solves the above-described disadvantages, providing a vascular device, suitable for use as a vascular filter in, for example, the ascending aorta, with a self-expanding support hoop that is sufficiently thick to radially expand and urge a blood permeable sac into engagement with the vessel wall, but which includes an articulation region that overcomes the problems associated with kinking. In particular, the vascular device of the present invention includes a reduced thickness articulation region and a pre-formed curved profile that avoids the difficulties of previously known systems while providing a high degree of efficacy in capturing emboli or thrombus, and ease of deployment and retrieval.
Referring now to
Sac 28 preferably is constructed of a thin, flexible biocompatible material, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyurethane, polyester, polyethylene tetraphlalate, nylon or polytetrafluoroethylene, or combinations thereof, and includes openings or pores 30 that permit blood cells to pass through the sac substantially unhindered, while capturing any larger emboli that may be released during a procedure such as angioplasty or stent placement. In a preferred embodiment, sac 28 has openings or pores 30 in a range of about 20 to 400 microns in diameter, and more preferably, about approximately 80 microns. These pore sizes will permit red blood cells (which have a diameter of approximately 5 microns) to easily pass through the sac.
Pores 30 are preferably formed by a laser drilling process. For example, a thin sheet of the flexible biocompatible material may be thermoformed to create sac 28, for example, by stretching the sheet over a mandrel, by dip forming, or by blow molding. Sac 28 may alternatively be fabricated from an extruded tube of the biocompatible material. A flat metal mask, with tiny holes approximately the size of pores 30, may then be placed in front of the sac. A laser having a beam diameter equal to or greater than the diameter of the material illuminates the mask. The laser beam passes through the holes in the mask and strikes the material, thereby forming pores 30 in sac 28.
Laser drilling may also be accomplished with a laser having a beam diameter approximately the size of pores 30, in which case pores 30 may drilled individually. Sac 28 may alternatively comprise a woven material, for example, formed from the above-mentioned polymers, having a pore diameter determined as a function of the pattern and tightness of the weave.
Support hoop 24 comprises a hoop having a circular or rectangular cross-section that is formed of a super-elastic material, such as a nickel-titanium alloy ("nitinol"). During deployment and retrieval of vascular device 20, described hereinafter, support hoop 24 folds in half and collapses to fit within a small diameter delivery sheath. When vascular device 20 is in a deployed state, as depicted in
In accordance with the principles of the present invention, support hoop 24 includes one or more reduced-thickness articulation regions 26 and curved regions 34. As depicted in
In an alternative embodiment, the articulation region may comprise a gap in the support hoop. The gap may then be bridged by a portion of the blood permeable sac. This is expected to allow fabrication of the support hoop from elastic materials and may provide improved delivery and retrieval characteristics.
In a preferred embodiment of the vascular device 20 of the present invention, vascular device 20 easily fits within a delivery sheath having an inner diameter of 0.114″, and more preferably, may be used with a delivery sheath having an inner diameter as small as 0.060″. The deployed diameter of support hoop 24 preferably is approximately 25 mm, while guide wire 22 preferably has a diameter of 0.035″. The distal end of guide wire 22 also may be tipped with a spring section, or coil tip (not shown).
Support hoop 24 preferably is constructed of 0.012″ nitinol wire tapered, for example, by a grinding, chemical etching, or electroless polishing process, to 0.005″ at articulation region 26. Specifically, articulation region 26 preferably consists of a length about 0.15″ long and having a diameter of 0.005″, coupled on either side to curved regions 34. Each of curved regions 34 includes a length of wire that is tapered from a diameter of 0.012″ to a diameter of 0.005″ over a length of about 0.070″. Support hoop 24 also may include radiopaque features, such as gold or platinum bands 33, spaced at intervals around the circumference of support hoop 24, or a coil of radiopaque material wrapped around the support hoop, or a gold plated coating.
With respect to
Advantageously, use of articulation region 26 and the curved profile of support hoop 24 introduced by curved regions 34 also cause support hoop 24 to fold in half during retrieval. As shown in
Use of a smaller or shallower sac also enables vascular device 20 to be delivered in a smaller delivery sheath, having an inner diameter as small as 0.060″ for the preferred embodiment. To prevent bunching during retrieval or further decrease the size of sac 28, the sac may be affixed to guide wire 22 along a length of the blood permeable sac. Sac 28 may also taper along its length.

Vascular device 70 is disposed within delivery sheath 78. Sheath 78 comprises tapered end 84 having lumen 86, in which distal end 73 of guide wire 72 is slidably received, and preferably also comprises radiopaque band 88. Sheath 78 further comprises window 90, located just proximal of support hoop 74 and sac 76 when vascular device 70 is located within cavity 92 of sheath 78, in the contracted delivery configuration of
Articulation region 80 and curved regions 82 of support hoop 74 enable contraction to the delivery configuration by causing the sides of the support hoop to fold together and become elongated when urged within cavity 92. Hoop 74 is urged within cavity 92 by distally advancing guide wire 72 while sheath 78 is held stationary (or by proximally retracting sheath 78 while guide wire 72 is held stationary). Vascular device 70 is then expanded to the deployed configuration by proximally retracting guide wire 72 relative to sheath 78 so that support hoop 74 is able to expand through window 90.
Vascular device 70 may be used in a manner similar to that described hereinabove with respect to
With reference to
As discussed previously, support hoop 106 is attached to deployment sheath 104. Hoop 106 comprises articulation region 118 disposed between curved regions 120. Blood permeable sac 108 is attached at its perimeter to support hoop 106 and along its length to deployment sheath 104. Sac 108 tapers along its length and comprises pores 122.
Vascular device 100 is disposed within delivery sheath 110. Sheath 110 comprises tapered end 124 having lumen 126, which is sized to slidably receive distal end 103 of guide wire 102 while not allowing deployment sheath 104 to pass therethrough. Delivery sheath 110 further comprises window 128 and cavity 130. Window 128 is located just proximal of support hoop 106 and sac 108 when vascular device 100 is in the contracted delivery configuration within cavity 130, as seen in
Articulation region 118 and curved regions 120 of support hoop 106 enable contraction to the delivery configuration of
A method of using vascular device 100 is now provided. Guide wire 102 is advanced through a patient's vasculature until distal end 103 is positioned within the patient's ascending aorta just proximal of the aortic valve, as determined, for example, by position indication restraint 112 under a fluoroscope. With vascular device 100 in the delivery configuration within cavity 130 of delivery sheath 110, a proximal end of guide wire 102 is passed through lumen 126 of the delivery sheath and lumen 114 of deployment sheath 104. Delivery sheath 110 is then advanced along guide wire 102 until it abuts against restraint 112. Vascular device 100 may alternatively be advanced along with guide wire 102 in a single step, in a manner similar to that described with respect to vascular device 70 of
With vascular device 100 advanced and positioned, hoop 106 is expanded through window 128 to the deployed configuration and seals against the walls of the vessel at a location just distal of the brachiocephalic trunk. Emboli generated upstream are captured within sac 108, while blood continues to flow unimpeded through the vessel. Upon completion of the filtering procedure, support hoop 106 and sac 108 are contracted back to the delivery configuration within cavity 130 of delivery sheath 110, and vascular device 100 is removed from the patient's vasculature.
As will of course be understood by those of skill in the art of catheter design,
Although preferred illustrative embodiments of the present invention are described above, it will be evident to one skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the invention. It is intended in the appended claims to cover all such changes and modifications that fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

Florida may work on its own in creating 'common core' education tests
TALLAHASSEE __ The decision by legislative leaders to call for Florida to withdraw from a group of states preparing new tests for student learning has set off a round of battles over the future of Florida's involvement in the "common core" standards project.
And it causes complications for Florida education officials, many of whom support common core.
The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, or PARCC, is a consortium aimed at coming up with tests that will measure students' achievements under common core. Common core, in turn, is a set of standards agreed to by the overwhelming majority of states. States that participate in the program, supporters stress, would still be free to come up with their own curricula within common core.
But House Speaker Will Weatherford, R-Wesley Chapel, and Senate President Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, raised several concerns about PARCC in a letter last week recommending that Education Commissioner Tony Bennett pull Florida out of the group and develop a "Florida Plan" for testing students.
"We cannot jeopardize 15 years of education accountability reform by relying on PARCC to define a fundamental component of our accountability system," Gaetz and Weatherford wrote. "Our schools, teachers, and families have worked too hard for too long for our system to collapse under the weight of an assessment system that is not yet developed, designed nor tested."
The two legislative leaders' list of concerns about PARCC included: the program's cost; a belief that it could require up to 20 days of testing for students; questions about the security of data gathered on students; how long it would take the state to receive the results; and whether the necessary technology will be in place.
Leaving PARCC would not necessarily mean dropping common core; PARCC is simply a set of tests that would measure how well students are learning the new standards.
Bennett was noncommittal in a statement last week about the letter from Gaetz and Weatherford.
"They are valued partners in our mission to help students and they raise critical issues that deserve serious consideration as I make a decision in the coming days," he said.
Some of the concerns in the legislative leaders' letter are inaccurate, according to Chad Colby, communications director for Achieve, which manages the PARCC project. For example, he said, students wouldn't be tested for 20 days; states would merely have a 20-day window to administer the tests, which would probably take about eight hours for third-graders and nine and a half hours for students in higher grades.
And while the state doesn't have the correct amount of equipment under some recommended standards for the tests, Colby said those recommendations are not universal, and some systems could potentially do the computer-based testing with less.
Colby also played down other concerns with the tests, saying any student data shared with the consortium would not include data that could be tied to individual students, and that Florida would get its results back before the end of the school year.
The consortium also put out estimates Monday saying the tests would likely cost an average of $29.50 a student, about $1 less than the state pays per student for the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test, according to the Department of Education's website.
That puts Florida in a different position than Georgia, which announced Monday that it would pull out of PARCC. That state spends around $12 on its current assessments, Colby said.
"That was going to be a more than doubling of their testing budget," he said.
State officials still largely back the wider common core project, which is strongly supported by former Gov. Jeb Bush, who remains influential on education policy in the state. However, even Bush signaled in a recent column for the Tampa Bay Times that he might not oppose the state reconsidering its role in PARCC.

When do you do them, back day, shoulder day, other? Curious to hear some thoughts.
I rotate them in and out on bench days.
I never do them. My traps get plenty of work from pulling and rowing movements.
I added them on in my bech days last meet cycle. I liked this as i could focus on them harder then just a walking through the motions on a long back or lower body workout
Very similar to Travis I rotate them
rotated on bench days
I do shrugs on my back day along with neck work.
I do heavy rack pulls but never, not even once, will I shrug.
IVe used them on back day, deadlift day, bench day, shoulder day. However you split it up, they have a place. I used to do them really heavy but now just do slow reps w db's.
Usually if my boss asks me something and I don't know the answer.
Quite an interesting. I never used to train them directly - just indirect work through deadlift, rows ect. I've actually tried adding them into my routines now, usually paired with some form of shoulder work so they are hit twice a week. I have added them in mainly because they were really lacking - looks kinda stupid because I have wide shoulders, wide back, no traps... ha ha
Did them today, accessory day.

30 year old man | Arlington, VA, USA | Seeking women 23-28 within 25 miles
Workaholics need not apply- life is for living!
I wound up here because I wanted to see what it was all about! I hate the pressure of trying to meet people and figured this would be an easier way to find someone that actually shares the same interests as me. I like getting out and doings things in the area and I am looking for someone to share those experiences with! I like to say I will try just about anything at least once. I enjoy cooking and trying new restaurants out- but also going out and hitting the town with friends. I am not a fan of seafood...the texture weirds me out! I was born and raised in the area, so I am a die hard Washington sports fan. I 'll go to a nats/caps/skins game any chance I get! Part of being in DC means your supposed to like politics- I cant stand politics though. I dabble with crossfit- but I am not super intense about it. I try to workout a few times a week, and if I can get out and do something like running the billy goat trail i would much rather do that then be stuck in a gym. Over the past few years I have become more and more of an outdoorsman...I hunt all over Virginia, and enjoy camping and hiking when possible. I hiked my first 14'er (Mt. Torreys) out in Colorado last year and it was one of the coolest experiences of my life...I am working on hiking a different 14'er later this year when I get out to Boulder to visit some friends. I love the beach, and travelling...I have been all over the Caribbean- and had the chance to go on The Yacht Week last summer in Croatia which was amazing. Thats the only place I have ever been too in Europe though, so theres plenty more places on my list to explore! If theres anything else your interested in knowing, just ask!
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports
Baseball, Basketball, Football, Golf, Hockey, Running, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
Don't display my sign
I have Dogs
I have two awesome boxers... Marley who will be 7 this year and Roxy who just turned 3!
Locally, I like to mix it up, from dive bars to the fancy spots! I typically stay around Arlington, Georgetown, and Dupont but I enjoy when I have a chance to venture further in the city! Outside of DC: Colorado, Bethany Beach, British Virgin Islands
Any chance I have to get outside I generally take advantage of that (hiking/trail running/hunting/camping), but I enjoy hitting the movies, trying new restaurants & foods, and travelling when I can!
I'll go to a nats/caps/skins games any chance I get! I like going to concerts, trying new restaurants, camping/hiking/hunting, but also believe that every now and then you just need a lazy day where you do nothing but relax and watch movies.

I received this book for free from Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Published by Allure, Amber Quill Genres: Fantasy, MM
Reviewed by Lisa
Buried under studies at an Ivy League college then straight to a fast paced career as a Hong Kong businessman, Basho Loy barely has time to take a breath let alone have a personal life.
Surprised and honored to be singled out and put in charge of an entire department at such a young age, Basho is completely intimidated by his boss Kanji Chang. Strange hallucinations involving Kanji begin to make Basho question his own sanity.
Becoming intimate with his boss is definitely unwise for Basho's career and his mental stability, but the thought of ending their relationship nearly destroys him. What is it about the exotic Kanji that draws Basho back again and again? How can something feel so wrong when his heart says it's so right?
A straightforward tale twists and turns into something mystical in Stranger Rice. Burdened by long hours and little personal time the main character begins to suspect something's off and the reader can feel Basho's growing concerns. The magical aspect creeps in slowly and then takes complete control of the story. Stranger Rice is an adventure of quiet romance and wicked fantasy coming true.

The Latin prefixes "in-," "im-," "il-" and "ir-" can all mean the same thing: "not." For example, if someone is incapable of performing a task, they are not capable. If a jacket is irreversible, it cannot be reversed. Which of the prefixes you use depends on the first letter of the root word.
A prefix is a word or set of letters attached to the front of a root word that alters or adds to that word's meaning. The three most common prefixes that mean "not" are "un-" (as in "unmistakable"), "a-" (as in "apathy") and "in-" (as in "incomplete"). Unlike the first two, the prefix "in-" changes to "ir-," "il-" or "im-" to accommodate the next letter in the word.
"In-" can be used to precede most consonants and all vowels as in "invalid" or "ineffective." "Ir-" is only used when the next letter is r, as in "irrevocable" or "irreparable." Similarly," il-" is only used when the next letter is l, as in "illiterate" or "illegitimate." "Im-" is used when the next letter is m, as in "immaterial" or "immeasurable," but it is also used when the next letter is b or p, as in "imbalance" or "impolite." A good way to remember is that "im-" is used whenever the next letter is a bilabial consonant, meaning that you need to touch your lips together to say it.
