Product description
Occasionally a collection of letters appears that is so extraordinary in its biographical details and emotional resonance that the work becomes a classic of literature in its own right: the letters, for example, of Virginia Woolf, Ernest Hemingway or Saul Bellow. Such is the case of the legendary Austro-Hungarian novelist and essayist, Joseph Roth, who was born in Ukraine in 1894 and died tragically in Paris in 1939. Having translated every other major Roth work including The Radetzky March, the award-winning translator Michael Hofmann presents this stunning new biography of the master novelist and legendary Euoprean journalist, told through letters. The letters span the breadth of Roth's life, from his schoolboy years - in letters to his girl cousins in the Austrian provinces - to the veteran of 44, marked by war, poverty, alcoholism, the loss of his wife through madness, and two decades of prolific work. It is a deeply moving portrait of the life of the writer as an outsider; in exile from a world he no longer recognized as his own.

Joseph Roth (1894 - 1939) was the great elegist of the cosmopolitan, tolerant and doomed Central European culture that flourished in the dying days of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Born into a Jewish family in Galicia, on the eastern edge of the empire, he was a prolific political journalist and novelist. On Hitler's assumption of power, he was obliged to leave Germany and he died in poverty in Paris. Michael Hofmann is the highly acclaimed translator of Joseph Roth, Wolfgang Koeppen, Kafka, and Brecht and the author of several books of poems and book of criticism. He has translated nine previous books by Joseph Roth. He lives in London and Hamburg.

This is painted in Acrylics on a 16" x 20" canvas. It depicts a street situated in the Dorset town of Christchurch,UK. The street has lots of character and a contemporary view here with the houses adorned with satellite dishes and the tarmac with road markings. I was drawn to the buildings and the rich colours of the bricks, and the signs of weathering and repair over the centuries. The figure of a tourist is there to help with interest and scale.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The owner of the Superman building, Rhode Island's tallest, wants to convert the building from office space into apartments and needs historic tax credits to do it, the company said Tuesday.
High Rock Development, a real estate investment and development fund based in Newton, Mass., owns the art deco-style building, the most recognizable building on Providence's skyline. It is known locally as the Superman building for its similarity to the Daily Planet building in the old TV show. It has housed a bank since it was first opened in 1928, but is about to become vacant when Bank of America moves out next month.
Bill Fischer, a spokesman for High Rock, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the company believes the best use of the building is to convert it from office space to residential rental space and that historic tax credits will be required to do the work.
He wouldn't specify the amount of tax credits the company believes it needs but said that will become clear in around three to four weeks after work concludes on feasibility and economic impact studies the company has commissioned. The state's historic tax credit program ended in 2008, but some lawmakers are pushing to revive it.
The building has 350,000 square feet, and High Rock hopes to build around 290 apartments of various sizes, Fischer said. The first floor, which now includes a grand lobby with high ceilings and marble columns, could be used as a restaurant or other commercial space, but the rest would be residential, he said. Among the issues High Rock is looking at is how to address parking since the building does not have it, Fischer said.
Fischer said it doesn't make sense to keep it as offices at a time when residential occupancy rates downtown are more than 90 percent.

proud mama to caiden patrick 10/31/09
expecting #2 12/12/12 and it's a GIRL!
It never occurred to me to cover in front of my 3yo son. I would let the nipples air-dry after feedings and just let it all hang out. I want him to know that it's totally natural and normal.
I did cover up when my 15yo nephew was here, because I thought he'd feel awkward.
My breasts did not stop being "breasts" just because I am nursing. I breastfeed in front of all of my children (23 DD, 20 DS, 33 month old DS), but I do not expose my nipple in front of my older children or anyone else I am not married to. I would not want them seeing my nipples when I am not breasfeeding, why would it be any different when I am? With my almost 3 year old toddler, he still remembers when he used to nurse (we called it nin-nin), so he was not fazed in the least bit when he saw me nursing (giving nin-nin) to my newborn. I honestly do not understand why some women think that just because they are breasfeeding a baby, which I agree is certainly a natural act, that they should not keep some sort of modesty around other people, including family members. Sex is also natural, but I definitely do not want anyone else seeing me in the act of it.
Married Nov 1984. Daughter (24), son (21), first surprise blessing baby boy March 9, 2010 and second surprise blessing baby girl Dec.22,2012.

HS#14 Anchor III HS
We head north to just outside Jacksonville,Fl for the Anchor III HS put on by River City Dirt Riders (RCDR). The property consists of 1000+ acres of planted pines and with recent rains dust was not a issue. Sat course was 5.5 and Sunday 9.8 miles.
Haley's race started out well as she took off mid pack and settled in.
She traded spots with some riders but the issue with everyone was the roughness of the track. Miles of pounding across raised pine rows had arms and legs burning from the constant standing it required.
on the 2nd lap she went over the bars and caught a handlebar to the stomach. That took the fight out of her as she completed the lap and called it a day.
9 guys on my line as we head to the first corner and I settle for 2nd place.
(Note the sea of pines trees behind me...ugh!)
Let the beating commence. The miles of pine rows pounds on me as I try and keep the leader in sight. The picture below sums up my season..watching Don Chriss #24(he locked up championship with this race win) standing on the pegs and disappearing from view as I ride sitting down and cutting every corner trying to keep up
David Wildner (#46) comes by and I manage to stay with them to complete the first lap in 3rd. The 2nd lap starts with me losing touch of them both (I just can't stand for that long) and William St.Laurent(#240B) comes by in a long section of pine whoops. I settle in behind him and wait soon we dump out on a long straightaway...time to drop the hammer. I hunch down on the bike with the throttle pinned in 5th and the motor on the pipe and screaming. I pass back by Will and another slower rider as I jump hard on the brakes for the chicane..that section every lap was my favorite..billboard smooth and fast!
Not long after (Marcelo Dadone #15) comes by me in another whooped out section as I'm just helpless to watch him go by..can't run his pace. I can follow him though through the smoother stuff however as I watch him start to lose control in the pines..one foot flies off the peg and his leg crosses over the seat as he just misses a tree and lands in a heap in some bushes. I look over as I pass by and it's obvious his throttle had stuck and he was trapped under the bike. looked too dangerous to not stop so that's what I did. Got his bike stopped and him back on his feet as Frank Gamperl (#325) passes by.."GO" yells Marcelo as I hop back on my bike and try to catch up.
I end the 2nd lap in 4th place now as the struggle really begins to keep a decent pace. It's hot, I'm tired, and d@mn it I can't sit down!
The pine rows are relentless as eventually Marcelo comes back by me after getting him self going again..d@ng it! Time to follow him so that's what i did/ I just sat on him and waited for my chance. Eventually we came to the corner that dumped out into my favorite straightaway. Marcelo in his haste dumps the bike just as I roll around him and race through the gears to get some distance. The corner worker gives me some applause as I brake deep into the chicane at the end of the straight with a smile on my face! I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Senior B rider David Jensen who I enjoyed riding with..good times Dave!
(Dave right behind me)
The scoring chicane couldn't come up soon enough as I crossed over for 3rd place! David Wildner had pulled over after 2nd lap so I improved from 4th to 3rd. Happy just to survive the tough course!

This application is a continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 10/658,351 filed Sep. 8, 2003 now abandoned entitled "Orthopaedic Implant and Screw Assembly".
The present invention generally relates to a system for coupling bone portions across a fracture and, more specifically, to an intramedullary nail or plate and screw assembly used to treat fractures of long bones such as the femur, humerus and tibia, and various periarticular fractures of these and other bones.
There are a variety of devices used to treat fractures of the femur, humerus, tibia, and other long bones. For example, fractures of the femoral neck, head, and intertrochanteric region have been successfully treated with a variety of compression screw assemblies, which include generally a compression plate having a barrel member, a lag screw and a compressing screw. Examples include the AMBI� and CLASSIC™ compression hip screw systems offered by Smith & Nephew, Inc. In such systems, the compression plate is secured to the exterior of the femur, and the barrel member is inserted in a predrilled hole in the direction of the femoral head. The lag screw has a threaded end, or another mechanism for engaging bone, and a smooth portion. The lag screw is inserted through the barrel member so that it extends across the break and into the femoral head. The threaded portion engages the femoral head. The compression screw connects the lag screw to the plate. By adjusting the tension of the compression screw, the compression (reduction) of the fracture can be varied. The smooth portion of the lag screw is free to slide through the barrel member to permit the adjustment of the compression screw. Some assemblies of the prior art use multiple screws to prevent rotation of the lag screw relative to the compression plate and barrel member and also to prevent rotation of the femoral head on the lag screw.
Intramedullary nails in combination with lag screws or other screw assemblies have been successfully used to treat fractures of the femur, humerus, tibia, and other long bones as well. A significant application of such devices has been the treatment of femoral fractures. One such nailing system is the IMHS� system offered by Smith & Nephew, Inc., and covered at least in part by U.S. Pat. No. 5,032,125 and various related international patents. Other seminal patents in the field include U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,827,917, 5,167,663, 5,312,406, and 5,562,666, which are all assigned to Smith & Nephew, Inc. These patents are all hereby incorporated by reference A typical prior art intramedullary nail may have one or more transverse apertures through its distal end to allow distal bone screws or pins to be screwed or otherwise inserted through the femur at the distal end of the intramedullary nail. This is called "locking" and secures the distal end of the intramedullary nail to the femur. In addition, a typical intramedullary nail may have one or more apertures through its proximal end to allow a lag screw assembly to be screwed or otherwise inserted through the proximal end of the intramedullary nail and into the femur. The lag screw is positioned across the break in the femur and an end portion of the lag screw engages the femoral head. An intramedullary nail can also be used to treat shaft fractures of the femur or other long bones.
As with compression hip screw systems, intramedullary nail systems are sometimes designed to allow compression screws and/or lag screws to slide through the nail and thus permit contact between or among the bone fragments. Contact resulting from sliding compression facilitates faster healing in some circumstances. In some systems, two separate screws (or one screw and a separate pin) are used in order, among other things, to prevent rotation of the femoral head relative to the remainder of the femur, to prevent penetration of a single screw beyond the femoral head, and to prevent a single screw from tearing through the femoral neck and head. When an additional screw or pin is used, however, unequal forces applied to the separated screws or pins can cause the separate screws or pins to be pressed against the sides of the holes through which the separate screws or pins are intended to slide. This may result in binding, which reduces the sliding of the screws or pins through the nail. Conversely, a problem can result from excessive compression of the femoral head toward or into the fracture site. In extreme cases, excessive sliding compression may cause the femoral head to be compressed all the way into the trochanteric region of the femur.
Furthermore, overly rigid nails sometimes generate periprosthetic fractures in regions away from a fracture site. Therefore, it is important that intramedullary nails be adequately flexible in comparison to the bones in which they are implanted.
The harder, generally outer portion of a typical bone is referred to as cortical bone. Cortical bone is usually a structurally sound load-bearing material for support of an implant. A cross-section of a long bone that shows the typical anatomical shape of cortical bone generally reveals a non-circular ring of cortical bone which surrounds a medullary canal. Accordingly, the medullary canal generally features a non-circular cross section. Intramedullary nails of the prior art, however, are usually round or square in cross-section, and therefore not anatomically consistent with the cortical bone or the medullary canal. Some have addressed this problem by reaming the medullary canal of the bone with a round reamer in order to cause the nail to fit the cortical bone. This approach, however, can remove significant portions of healthy cortical bone.
The problem of providing an effective load bearing physical relationship between an implant and cortical bone in the proximal femur has been addressed in the art of hip replacement devices. Various hip stems have been developed which feature generally non-circular cross sections along their length, in order better to fit the anatomically shaped cortical bone of the proximal femur and thus more evenly and effectively distribute the load between the stem and the bone. However, none of these hip stems have been incorporated into a nail or configured to accept a screw or screws useful in repairing substantially all of the portions of the treated bone. Instead, hip stems as a general matter have been considered as a device for replacing portions of a long bone, and designed and used for that purpose. For example, the typical application of a hip stem includes completely removing a femoral head and neck, implanting a hip stem, and using the hip stem to support an artificial femoral head.
In summary, and without limitation, the foregoing shows some of the shortcomings of the state of the art in this field. Among other things, what is needed is an orthopaedic implant system that includes a superior sliding screw or other mechanism for applying compression across a fracture. Some embodiments would also provide a sliding screw or other mechanism that obtains adequate bone purchase while reducing the incidence of cut-out, rotational instability, and excessive sliding. An anatomically appropriately shaped implant for achieving improved cortical bone contact would also be advantageous. Where the implant is an intramedullary nail, the nail would provide for reduced reaming and removal of healthy bone. An improved nail may also have a cross-section that provides a greater area of material on the side of the nail that is placed under a greater tensile load when the nail is subjected to a typical bending load. Additionally, an improved implant system could include a sliding screw in combination with intramedullary nails of various designs, or in combination with plates. Combinations of any of these with each other or combinations of each other, and/or with other devices or combinations of them also present opportunities for advancement beyond the state of the art according to certain aspects of the present invention.
Methods, devices and systems according to certain aspects of this invention allow treatment of bone fractures using one or both of an structure configured to be implanted in or stabilize a first bone fragment and a fastening assembly. The structure may take the form of a plate or other device for at least partial application to the outer surface of bone, or an implant for at least partial implantation within bone. Such implants may include a proximal section having a transverse aperture, and an aperture substantially along their length. Preferably, they include at least one cross-section in their proximal portions which features a shape that imparts additional strength and resistance to tension. Such shapes can be provided, for instance, by one or both (i) adding additional mass in lateral portions of the cross section, and (2) strategically adding and reducing mass in the cross section to take advantage of flange effects similar to the way flanges add structural benefits to I-beams and channels. One way to characterize such cross-sections, which can but need not be asymmetrical with respect to at least one axis, is that they generally feature a moment of inertia extending in a lateral direction from a point that is the midpoint of a line from a lateral tangent to a medial tangent of the cross section. In some structures, that line is coplanar with the axis of the transverse aperture and coplanar with the cross section and thus defined by the intersection of those planes. The endpoints of that line can be defined as the intersection of the line with tangents to the medial aspect and the lateral aspect of the cross section, respectively. Such implants also typically include a distal section and a transition section that provides a coupling between the proximal section and the distal section.
Fastening assemblies of methods, devices and systems according to certain embodiments of the invention preferably include an engaging member and a compression device. The fastening assemblies are adapted to be received in the transverse aperture of the implant in a sliding relationship, so that the fastening assembly is adapted to slide with respect to the transverse aperture, and thus apply compression to a fracture and for any other desired purpose. The engaging member is adapted to gain purchase in a second bone fragment. The engaging member and the compression device are configured so that the compression device interacts with a portion of the implant and also with a portion of the engaging member so that adjustment of the compression device controls sliding of the engaging member relative to the implant and thereby enables controlled movement between the first and second bone fragments. In some embodiments, the compression device at least partially directly contacts the second bone fragment when implanted.
Methods, devices and systems according to embodiments of this invention seek to provide improved treatment of femur fractures.
The proximal section 102 of the particular structure shown in
The medial side 109 shown in
A structure according to another embodiment of the invention that benefits from the same principle, is shown in
Regardless of the particular manner in which material or mass may be added to some portions of the lateral parts of the cross section of proximal portion 102, material may be added and removed from some portions of the cross section in order to increase the strength and robustness of the lateral parts, or both, the effect can be characterized as imparting a moment of inertia to the cross section oriented at least partially in the direction of the lateral side or aspect 108. In a preferred embodiment, the moment of inertia (shown denoted by the letter M on
In the particular device shown in
The proximal section 102 has a transverse aperture 118 that receives a fastening or screw assembly 200 (various versions of which are shown in
The proximal section 102 illustrated in
As shown in
In the embodiment of the intramedullary nail 100 shown in
The distal section 106 of the intramedullary nail 100 is generally cylindrical and is configured to provide a reduced bending stiffness. The embodiment shown in
Intramedullary nails according to the present invention may be inserted into a patient by any suitable known technique. Generally, the intramedullary canal of the bone is prepared with an appropriate tool to create a void for insertion of the nail. Some portions of the void may be prepared to be about 1 millimeter larger than the perimeter of the nail to permit sufficient space for blood flow after insertion of the nail. A guide pin or wire is optionally inserted into the prepared medullary canal. The nail is then introduced into the desired position. If the nail is cannulated, the nail can be introduced over the guide wire. The position of the nail may be confirmed by image intensification.
In operation, the tool 300 of the embodiment shown is advanced as a unit, with the drill bit 302 reaming and the mortise chisel 304 cutting simultaneously. The drill bit 302 may be turned with a power driver, or by hand. Likewise, the entire tool 300 may be advanced into a medullary canal manually, or advanced with the assistance of mechanical advantage or power equipment. In other configurations, the drill bit 302 may be cannulated (not shown) such that the entire tool 300 is operable over and guided by a guide wire that has been inserted into the medullary canal.
In other embodiments, the bit for reaming is a more traditional reamer that is separate from a cutting tool such as the mortise chisel 304. The method for preparing a void in such an instance would include first reaming an opening with a traditional reamer. A device such as a chisel or a broach, shaped similar to the intramedullary nail to be implanted, would then be used to prepare the void. The chisel or broach may be driven in by hand, with the assistance of a hammer or mallet, or with the use of other power equipment. A nail consistent with the void prepared would then be implanted.
Other custom instruments such as a contoured broach or a custom router bit and template could be used as well. Broaches have long been used to prepare openings for hip stems, and the use of a broach would be familiar to one of skill in the art. A router bit and template could be use, in effect, to mill out the desired shape in the bone. Such a method might also be used in combination with reaming or broaching to create the desired void.
The intramedullary nail of the present invention can be used to treat proximal femoral fractures and femoral shaft fractures, among other fractures of long bones. When used to treat femoral shaft fractures, the intramedullary nail is secured in the femur by one or more fastening devices. When used for the treatment of proximal femoral fractures the intramedullary nail is preferably used in conjunction with a proximal screw assembly.
As shown in
The lag screw 202 shown in these drawings includes an elongate body 206 and threaded end 208. As shown in
The lag screw 202 is received in the proximal transverse aperture 118 and into a pre-drilled hole in the femur so that the lag screw 202 extends across the break and into the femoral head. The threaded end 208 of the lag screw 202 engages the femoral head as the lag screw 202 is rotated within aperture 118 causing its threaded end 208 to engage the femoral head. The threaded end 208 may be any device for obtaining purchase in the femoral head, and includes but is not limited to, threads of any desired configuration including helices, barbs, blades, hooks, expanding devices, and the like. The placement depth of the lag screw 202 into the femoral head differs depending on the desired compression of the fracture.
The compression screw 204 can also be received through the proximal transverse aperture 118 into a predrilled hole in the femoral head. The threaded section 214 of the compression screw 204 engages with the threaded portion of the channel 212 of the lag screw 202. The proximal transverse aperture 118 has an interior shoulder 132 (
In one embodiment, a set screw (not shown), positioned in the proximal end aperture 128 of the intramedullary nail, is used to engage the compression screw 204 and fix the compression screw 204 and lag screw 202 in place. The use of the set screw to fix the fastener assembly 200 in place is fracture pattern dependent. If a set screw is not used to engage the fastener assembly, the fastener assembly 200 can slide within the proximal aperture limited by the shoulder 132.
In the embodiment of the lag screw and compression screw shown in
The fastener assembly could additionally be configured to allow the addition of a prosthetic femoral head and neck. In such an embodiment, the lag screw 202 would be replaced with a prosthetic head and neck. The neck would fit into the proximal transverse aperture 118 in the nail 100. The design would be beneficial where degeneration or re-injury of a repaired femoral fracture and hip joint later necessitated a total hip arthroplasty (THA). The decision to accomplish a THA could be made interoperatively, or after some period of time. Instead of having to prepare a femur to accept a hip stem as is known in association with THA, only a small portion of bone would need to be removed, along with the fastener assembly 200. The prosthetic head and neck could then be inserted into the proximal transverse aperture 118, the acetabulum prepared, and the remainder of the THA completed.
In the fastener assembly 200 shown in
A fastener assembly 200 according to another embodiment of the invention is illustrated in
In this embodiment, the lag screw 602, the cross hair screw 610 and the compression screw 604 are received simultaneously to slide in a proximal aperture of an intramedullary screw. The lag screw 602 extends across the break and into the femoral head. The threaded end 608 of the lag screw 602 engages the femoral head. As compression screw 604 is tightened, the threads 614 of the compression screw engage the threads of the cross hair screw 610 and lag screw 602, thereby moving the lag screw 602 in the general lateral direction toward the intramedullary nail providing compression to the femoral head. The cross hair screw 610 is then turned causing the compression screw 604 to move in the distal direction away from the lag screw 602. The fastener assembly 200 can alternatively be configured so that the compression screw 604 moves proximally relative to the lag screw 602. The compression screw 604 separate from the lag screw 602 helps to prevent rotation of the femoral head on the lag screw 602 by adding more area for resistance.
In this embodiment, the lag screw 702 and the compression peg 704 are received simultaneously to slide in a proximal aperture of an intramedullary screw into a pre-drilled hole in the femur. The lag screw 702 extends across the break and into the femoral head. The threaded end of the lag screw 702 engages the femoral head. A compression tool similar to the tool describe in association with
As those skilled in the art will appreciate, the particular embodiments of this invention described above and illustrated in the figures are provided for explaining the invention and various alterations may be made in the structure and materials of the illustrated embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as described above and in the following claims.

The Black Card Technique - the cheap gradual ND filter alternative
If you have an ND filter, there is no need to get an additional graduated ND filter for darkening down, for example, the sky in your photos. A remarkably simple technique will allow you to mimic a graduated ND filter and even be much more flexible: Just use a black card and cover the respective parts during a long exposure.
Here's a video by +Hannes Nitzsche to show you how it's done.

Assassins don't work for free! Why should you?
When you watch this video, it all sounds pretty hilarious and bizarre. But people will use very similar phrases to try and persuade you to do a photography gig for free... oops... sorry... for the exposure.
Remember: Working for exposure is paying off in rare cases. But generally, it does you more harm than good.

Just try to be awesome. It'll make you happier.
I have always admired +Trey Ratcliff for his positive attitude to life. He is one of those people who always sees the positive side of things, even if they are downright awful at first glance. That is the source of great joy, confidence and success in life.
Check out his recent TEDx talk. It's not so much about photography but about life itself. I guarantee you, you will go "yeah, he's right!" more than once.
When you're through watching it, just let it simmer for a minute. Don't rush off into your daily routine. Just let it sink in and ask yourself:
What is your attitude to life? And does it really make you happy?

Flickr introduces auto-tagging and fails miserably
What happens if you are trying to auto-tag millions of photos? Right, it fails and you're in big trouble. Flickr has introduced a new auto-tagging feature which assigns labels to photos automatically, without manual intervention.
Sometimes the level of stupidity of what are supposed to be industry leaders amazes me. Auto-tagging has never worked, and it will never work. It will assign hugely inappropriate and massively offensive tags in many cases which inevitably results in a immense backlash. And that's exactly what they got!
Flickr, please hire people who understand their job!

How to relight an image in Lightroom
► Read more at [ frb.li/12t7a ]
Sometimes when you post-process an image, you may notice that some more interesting lighting would have really improved the scene and made the photo more interesting. But, of course, now its too late as the photo has already been taken. Is it really? As I will show you in this video tutorial, there are some simple techniques that let you add lighting effects in Lightroom. We will be using the local adjustment tools to create splashes of light that look as if they where actually part of the scene when you created the original photograph.

A Beautiful Small Flan Triple UniteCharles I gold Triple Unite 1644 Oxon, S2729, Schneider-303, plumelet mm on obverse only, Oxford mint, XF Details, Mount Removed NGC, lustrous but lightly cleaned, details certainly at least those of an XF coin, beautifully detailed and compelling portrait, the surrounding legend as well as the entire reverse crisp in detail (as is the mm Plume above the king's head), surfaces almost entirely free of abrasions, a few pits before the sword that are annealing flaws in the gold metal, excellent rims with most of the denticles or "teeth" in evidence, and a super nice roundish flan. A mount may have been removed but you cannot see it in the slab. Not perfect by any means, but this is in fact a very nice Triple Unite, especially of the smaller flan variety, made "late in the day" as the Civil War was heating up in 1644 and poor King Charles was literally on the run from fortress to fortress, his principal hold-out being at Oxford, where this historic coin was minted. A classic gold coin.
From the Highlands Park Collection of British Coins.
