Lolita has all the characteristics of a great teacher; vivacious, quick to laughter, earnest and forthright, and possesses a delicate patience. She is the author of two books, one on spanking, another on cock-and-ball torture (CBT); and is a charismatic activist in the BDSM community. Friday, as she drove to DC for her upcoming Whole DC-sponsored seminar, I had the pleasure to discuss with her the role of kink in sex, and in life. For more about Lolita, see the full interview below or check out her blog. (Warning, the blog is definitely not work-appropriate.)

I'm a single 41yrsyoung Mom, I'm unemployed @ the moment{not for long ;-)}, I'm currently enrolled in adult tutorial program & am going back to school for everything that I'm in love with doing to help others as well as my children & self. I've tried over and over to get ahead in life, I've now learned that then it wasn't my time... I believe in my heart that God knows best & isn't through with me yet!
I have a good current standing with the Lord now & my faith in what's in store for my children's & my lives will not be interrupted by any adversaries. satan I rebuke you, in the name of the Holy Trinity...Amen!
I have 6 beautiful children, 2 gbabies and I love them all dearly! I just pray that one day, they all will have a honest, loving, safe & respectful relationship with there fathers.
The best thing about being a Mom is:
I know that I'm loved & needed by some-one. And seeing them smile when life isn't very nice outside of the home. Though the hugs are few(now that they're older...teens & young adults SMH) now a days, just the mere sight of them does it for my. I try so hard to contain myself when they're around...not to hug, kisses or rub their faces too much. LoL...it's all love!
The hardest thing about being a Mom is:
that it is not always easy, nor is it always fair or peaceful... When something or some-one(when they allow satan's advocates in to do the thinking for them & then bring it home) another place caused them to have a bad day. They start talking about what was, after clearly stating yrs before that they were alright & over it.
Hello...and Welcome to 40ish and Beyond! I'm Vickey one of the Admins in the group. I wanted to send you a personal greeting to let you know that we are SO happy you joined us! Please stop in...introduce yourself and make yourself known to the many wonderful new friends you will meet.

NOTEBOOK: Bolts finish as top offense, defense
Cason smiled wide when asked if he wanted to return punts.
"I love it," he said. "It changes games. It's exciting. I'm a competitor. I want to do what I can."
Nate the (regular-season) great
This is when Nate Kaeding's real season was supposed to begin. But with the Chargers not making the playoffs, we will have to wait to see if Kaeding can redeem himself in the postseason.
But with four field goals – from 42, 45, 47 and 37 yards – in five tries, he retained his status as the most accurate regular-season kicker in NFL history.
With 173 field goals in 200 career attempts, Kaeding's 86.5 percent success rate is four-hundredths of a percent higher than what Mike Vanderjagt's career percentage from 1998-2006.
A 53-yard try wide right in the fourth quarter was Kaeding's first miss in 17 career tries at Invesco Field, a mile-high stadium that is Kaeding's favorite venue for another reason.
His two touchbacks on eight kickoffs Sunday gave Kaeding 21 touchbacks in 45 career kickoffs in Denver. That's a slightly better touchback percentage than the league-worst 4.1 percent of his 556 kickoffs in every other stadium that have resulted in touchbacks.
Nuts 'n' Bolts
• Wide receiver Vincent Jackson sprained his ankle making a spectacular catch in the second quarter and watched the second half with his foot in a protective boot.
• The Chargers finishing 9-7 secured the 18th pick in the first round of April's draft. Their second-place finish in the AFC West also determined their final two opponents for 2011 (provided it is a 16-game schedule). They will host Baltimore (second in the AFC North) and play at Jacksonville (second in the AFC South).
• Fullback Billy Latsko became the 74th player used by the Chargers this season, tying the NFL record for a non-strike season set by the 2005 Arizona Cardinals.
• Rivers was named team MVP for the third straight season in a vote by teammates announced at a team meeting Saturday night. Running back Mike Tolbert was Offensive Player of the Year. Linebacker Shaun Phillips was Defensive Player of the Year. Jacob Hester was named Special Teams Player of the Year.
• Among Kelley Washington's 13 receptions this season, nine came on third down. All nine went for first downs, including both of his catches Sunday.
• Rookie wide receiver Seyi Ajirotutu made his first catch since Dec. 5 and just fourth since his two-touchdown day in Houston in the season's ninth game.
• Louis Vasquez and Tyronne Green split series at right guard. Vasquez was still recovering from an illness that slowed him during the week.
• Right tackle Jeromey Clary was the only Charger to play every snap this season. He was in on all 1,105 offensive snaps.
• The Chargers outscored their opponents (97-24) in the third quarter this season.

Race Procedures / General Rules
- Qualifying / Tech / Heat Races / Starting Lineup– Late models and Super Trucks main event lineups will be determined by Euro-qualifying. The order in which you qualify will be set by a pill draw. Euro Qualifying will be groups of 4 cars/trucks, 4 laps each. For tech, there will be certain times each week when you must be in tech line. Group 1 for qualifying will have a certain time followed by later times for groups 2, 3, etc. If you are not in tech line by the mandated time, you are subject to have your fastest time forfeited in the Euro Qualifying session. Your second fastest lap will stand as your fastest. If qualifying is cancelled, the lineup will be determined by transponder times of the final practice session.
Chargers, Street Stocks, and Mini Stocks main event lineups will be determined by heat races. If 8 or fewer cars then there will be one heat race with the finishing order being the starting order for main. If 9 or more cars, there will be two heat races and the finishing order of race one will be the inside line of the main and the finishing order of race two will be the outside line of the main. Heat race starting positions will be determined by drawing. For chargers if you are not in tech line by the mandated time, you are subject to start at the back of the pack for your heat race forfeiting your pill draw position.
- Start of race – The flagman starts the races. He will start the race when he desires.
When the pace car enters pit road as the field comes to the restart, the front row must maintain caution speed and stay abreast with the pace car.
No passing to the left before the flag stand. Only passing will be permitted to the outside. If someone falters and one is forced to go low, the race director will survey the instance and deem if it's fair or not.
- Restarts – All restarts will be double file and the leader will have the choice of which line he/she wants to start.
When the pace car enters pit road as the field comes to the restart, the front row must maintain caution speed and stay abreast with the pace car. No break checking. Once the front row reaches the start box, it is the leader's decision when he/she wants to restart in the start box. If the leader hasn't started by the end of the start box, the flag man will wave the green flag to restart the race.
No passing to the left before the flag stand. Only passing will be permitted to the outside. If someone falters and one is forced to go low, the race director will survey the instance and deem if it's fair or not.
- Cautions– If a caution comes out before the first lap is complete, there will be a complete restart. The only cars who will not return to their original starting position will be the cars involved in the wreck.
Once a caution flag comes out, there will be no racing back to the line. The field will be frozen and the lineup will go back to the last completed lap.
Caution laps will not be counted.
If you come to a complete stop during an accident, you are deemed part of the caution. Race director will monitor all situations and deem the legalities and who is involved.
Each competitor involved in a caution that cannot drive their car back to the pits, they will be required to speak with the speedway EMTs before returning to the pits.
If a competitor stops on the track to deliberately bring out a caution, then he / she will be subject to a 1 lap penalty.
- Red flag– We will allow work to be performed under red flag conditions. With the short distance of weekly races, we want to allow all teams their best chance to finish the race and stay on the lead lap.
- Black flag – If you receive a black flag, you must pull into the pits to serve your penalty. The driver will have three laps to serve the penalty. After the three, scoring will stop for that driver.
If you do not honor the black flag, your scoring card will be pulled.
If the race has concluded and the driver has not responded to the black flag, the Race Director has the ability to remove completed laps from the driver.
- End of Race– There will be three attempts at a green, white, checkered finish.
If the leader takes the white flag and a caution comes out, the field is frozen and the race is over. Results will come from the last completed lap.
- Inspection– Late Models, Super Trucks, and Chargers will report to tech before qualifying / heats at each event for pre race tech. You must be in tech by mandated times. Late Models and Super Trucks will have separate times for the different groups for Euro Qualifying. If not in tech line by the time, you are subject to having your fastest lap in qualifying thrown out. Your second fastest lap will then stand as your fastest time. Chargers will have one mandated time they must be in tech. Chargers who are not in tech line by deadline time will be subject to start in the back of the pack for their heat race. Mini Stocks and Street Stocks will report to tech after their heat race at each event for pre race tech.
– After the completion of every race, the top three finishers are required to come to the tech / scale area for post race inspection.
– If you finished in the top three and do not report to the post race inspection, you will be disqualified and receive no points or pay out for the evening.
– MBS officials have the right to inspect any car, even if not in top 3 results, after a race.
– After a race, competitors will be allowed to top off fuel, add a maximum 1 quart of engine oil and 1 quart of water.
– The track has the liberty to protest and inspect any item on a race car on or before a race event.
– If a competitor protests another, he/she must finish within 3 positions of the car they want to protest. The protest must be reported in writing to the head tech inspector with assigned fee and signed by the driver; all within 15 minutes after the checkered flag of the race.
$ 250 for top of engine (intake, heads, bore and stroke)
$ 450 for top and bottom of engine (intake, heads, bore and stroke, crank shaft rods, and pistons
$ 125 for any item not included with engine (transmission, rear end, chassis)
$ 300 for top of engine (intake, heads, bore and stroke)
$ 600 for top and bottom of engine (intake, heads, bore and stroke, crank shaft rods, and pistons
$ 125 for any item not included with engine (transmission, rear end, chassis)
$ 400 for top of engine (intake, heads, bore and stroke)
$ 800 for top and bottom of engine (intake, heads, bore and stroke, crank shaft rods, and pistons
$ 125 for any item not included with engine (transmission, rear end, chassis)
Myrtle Beach Speedway has the ability to confiscate any part that fails to be in compliance with the track rules. If a competitor refuses to have their race part confiscated, he/she is subject to disqualification. The speedway will retain 20% of the protest fee with the remaining 80% going to either the protester if protested car is found ILLEGAL OR going to the protested car if their car is found LEGAL.
(FROM NASCAR RULE BOOK) All matters pertaining to protests shall be handled by Track Officials. If a NASCAR Member who is a Competitor believes that another Competitor has or will obtain a significant unfair competitive advantage by some action that the Member believes is in violation of the Local Track Rules, the Member may protest such action to a Track Official. The protest must be made in writing by the Competitor (or his/her crew chief if the Competitor is a driver and is on the race track) within 15 minutes after the checkered flag is displayed signifying the completion of the Race. Any VISUAL protest must be in writing and given to the Head MBS Tech Official along with $200.00. If car
in question is found legal series will keep protest money. If car is found ILLEGAL, $150.00 will be
returned to protester.
Protest to Motor-Must be in writing and presented to MBS Head Tech Official within 15 min of completion
of race.
(FROM NASCAR RULE BOOK) The Track Officials shall decide whether the matter is subject to protest, and if so shall decide the protest as promptly as possible, and shall inform the parties to the protest of the decision. The Track Official may decline to accept a protest, even if the matter were otherwise subject to protest, if he/she determines that the alleged rule violation is so insubstantial as to not provide the Competitor with a significant competitive advantage over other Competitors. A decision that the matter is not subject to protest is final and non-appealable. In deciding the protest, the Track Official may take whatever action he/she deems appropriate to further the interests of fairness and finality in competition results. Such action includes, but is not limited to, revising the official Race results, imposing penalties (disqualifications, suspension or fines, and/or loss of finishing position(s) in the Event), awarding or subtracting points, or taking no action. The protesting NASCAR licensed member, or his/her appointed NASCAR licensed representative will be permitted to be present during the inspection process of the protest. Any additional rules violations, not related to the protest, found during the protest inspection process are subject to disqualification or penalties.
(FROM NASCAR RULE BOOK) Protests will not be accepted that are directed to a decision of a Track Official or Supervisory Official on any subject not specifically provided for in these rules or the Local Track Rules. Such subjects include, but are not limited to, timing and scoring decisions, inspection decisions and Race procedure decisions.
(FROM NASCAR RULE BOOK; for Sections, refer to NASCAR RULE BOOK) The decision by the Track Official with respect to a protest is final and nonappealable, unless the decision of the Track Official results in the issuance of a penalty by NASCAR pursuant to Section 12. In that event, only the imposition of the penalty shall be subject to further review in accordance with Section 14.
- Tires – All tires will be picked out by a Myrtle Beach Speedway Track Official.
If a tire is deemed not to be safe for race conditions then another tire will be issued in place of the unsafe one.
Late Models will be required to purchase 4 new F-45 scuffs for all races. Once it's your turn to get tires, you tell the tire official what size you want to run and he will grab that size randomly for you to speed up the picking out process. This will give everyone equilibrium on tires.
Everyone will qualify on the 4 sticker tires.
On 75 lap races, everyone will start the race on the same four tires you qualified on. No tire change will be permitted during the race unless the approval of a NASCAR official is given. The only spares allowed will be the speedway tires which will be at the S/F line break in pit wall or pit road. These tires will be "B" scuffs and set at 15 lbs for lefts and 25 lbs for rights.
For twin 40's, you must start race one of the twins on the 4 new tires you qualified on. If you run 20 or fewer laps in race one, then you must start race two on the same four tires, one lap down at the back of pack. Tire rotating will be allowed. This is the fairest method and it will also resolve the issue of teams having an advantage on tires for race two. In race two, those who started one lap down will be eligible for the free pass rule but only after halfway will you be eligible, after lap 20. If you run 21 or more laps in race one but do not finish, you will be able to start race two on the lead lap.No tire change will be permitted during the race unless the approval of a NASCAR official is given. The only spares allowed will be the speedway tires which will be at the S/F line break in pit wall or pit road. These tires will be "B" scuffs and set at 15 lbs for lefts and 25 lbs for rights.
On the twin races, Late Models will be staged against the outside pit wall after twin race one. Teams will be allowed a 5 min work session right after the race to get recordings and check the car over. A support class race will take place and after that race there will be a 10-15 minute work session for teams to work on their car. This has to be done to keep pit road traffic clear during support class races. 5-10 minutes prior to twin race two, the driver and one crew member will be allowed to the car to get ready for their second race.
Super Trucks will be required to purchase 4 "A" scuffs for their races. The tires will be selected randomly and already stacked in numbered sets. You will draw for which set you get.
Chargers will be required to purchase 2 "B" scuffs and 2 "C" scuffs for their races. The tires will be selected randomly and already stacked in numbered sets. You will draw for which set you get. The number you draw will also be used for heat race starting positions.
Street Stocks will be required to purchase 4 "C" scuffs for their races. The tires will be selected randomly and already stacked in numbered sets. You will draw for which set you get. The number you draw will also be used for heat race starting positions.
Mini Stocks will be given the OPTION to purchase up to 2 new Hoosier 790 tires each week and check in the other 2 tires for a small inspection fee of $10 each tire.
Once your tire is in the scanner for 2015, you will not have to check it in any more prior to races. These tires are however subject to inspection anytime by MBS officials.
All new tires purchased MUST be run the night of purchase. This will solve the issue of people banking new tires to run with 4 new at a later date.
- Fuel– All competitors must purchase a minimum of 5 gallons of race fuel at each event with the exception of the Mini Stocks. They will only be required to purchase 2 gallons of race fuel.
- General Rules– No weapons or drugs allowed on track property. If found with either, you will be fined $500 and local police department will be called. When the local authorities are called, you are subject to possible suspension.
No glass bottles allowed on track property. All will be confiscated and subject to a $100 fine.
No antifreeze allowed. If antifreeze is found in a race car, competitors are subject to a $100 fine.
No tire soaking or switching tire barcodes. If caught doing so, competitors will be fined $1000 and subject to possible suspension.
No fighting or verbal abuse will be permitted to race officials and speedway staff. Local police will be brought in and you will be subject to a $500 fine by the speedway and possible suspension.
Race members fighting with other members will be subject to a fine, suspension, disqualification, and loss of championship points.
The driver for a team is solely responsible for all actions by himself/herself and team members.
No tungsten weight allowed. You will be disqualified from the race event.
All kids 10 and under in the pit area are not allowed on pit wall during all practices and races.
Use the blend line when coming on the race track in practice and races. Competitors shouldn't be on the race track until turn two.
All transponders MUST be on the car / truck before going out on the race track for practice.
Pit road speed limit is same as pace car speed (35 mph).
Payouts must be picked up within 30 days of the race date.
All drivers MUST have a valid 2015 NASCAR Driver's License to be able to compete.

Progressive Media Advocates
Treva Brandon Scharf: Confident people don't bash themselves; they don't let negative thinking and self-loathing screw up a good workout or undermine their progress.
Edward Wasserman: The larger question, to me, was less why she did what she did, but why everybody seemed to care so much, and why her case provoked so much anger.

Heineken Cup: Aviva Premiership leaders Saracens tackle Clermont Auvergne
Last Updated: 26/04/14 6:57pm
Aviva Premiership leaders Saracens take on formidable Clermont Auvergne in the Heineken Cup semi-final at Twickenham on Saturday.
Sarries head into the contest unbeaten in domestic competition since October, but when it comes to the European Cup French teams have ended their adventures in the past two seasons.
Clermont were 22-3 victors at Vicarage Road in the quarter-finals in 2012 and Toulon won 24-12 in last year's semi-final - and they were beaten twice in the Pool stages by Toulouse.
Perennial semi-finalists Clermont have won an astonishing 76 consecutive home games but have proved far more fallible away from their Parc des Sports Marcel.
'Les Jaunards' have lost nine away matches in the French Top 14 alone this season.
Their only success on the road since November came just down the road from Saturday's venue when they beat Harlequins at the Stoop.
These clubs have met three times in the premier competition before, with Clermont triumphing on each occasion and scoring a total of eight tries to two in the process.
They dispatched their opponents 22-3 in the quarter-finals last year, but considering Saracens' dominant form this season, you would expect them to match Clermont all the way in what should be a close contest.
Team news
Alex Goode starts at full-back and is joined by David Strettle and Chris Ashton in the back three as head coach Mark McCall makes three personnel changes to the starting XV that beat 14-man Ulster last time out.
In the midfield, Marcelo Bosch partners Brad Barritt at centre, whilst in the halves Owen Farrell is joined by experienced scrum-half Neil de Kock.
Up front, Mako Vunipola, Schalk Brits and James Johnston make up the front row, with Steve Borthwick captaining the side at second row - he is joined by Mouritz Botha at lock.
Kelly Brown starts at blindside flanker, with Premiership Player of the Season nominee Jacques Burger at openside flanker. England international Billy Vunipola starts at No.8 to complete the back row.
Meanwhile, Clermont will be without captain Aurelien Rougerie due to a thigh injury. Benson Stanley takes his place in one of three changes to the backline that faced Leicester in the quarter-finals.
Lee Byrne starts at full-back in the place of Jean-Marcellin Buttin while New Zealand wing Sitiveni Sivivatu returns, taking over from Noa Nakaitaci, who is on the bench.
Back row forwards Damien Chouly and New Zealander Fritz Lee have recovered from knocks to line up in an unchanged pack.
The winners of the match will face either holders Toulon or Munster, who meet on Sunday, in the final.

Engaged couple Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis are expecting their first child!
Nearly a year into their engagement, the "very excited" parents-to-be announced they'll be welcoming a baby, according to People magazine.
"They are incredibly happy," the source said, adding, "They're very excited to welcome a new member into their family."
Olivia, 29, and Jason, 38, first met on the set of his former gig, "Saturday Night Live," in 2011. Six months later they were dating.
Given how open the two have been about their primal sex life, a pregnancy was just an entertainment news headline in the making.
In Marie Claire's April issue, Olivia spoke about her desire to have kids. "I can't wait for children," she said. "I'm open-minded about how many, but three, which I love, is like a little party. [Jason] is so good with kids. I've never before experienced looking at someone and thinking, 'That's who I want to raise a child with.'"
Congratulations to the happy couple!

2) When They Touched All Those Celebs On The MTV Video Music Awards Red Carpet
On Season One of Nikki & Sara LIVE, the ladies introduced a game where they tried to touch as many celebrities as many times as they could on a red carpet. For Season Two, they upped the ante.
So how did they get away with it?
"We're doing it so much, they don't know…they're just in the moment," explained Sara. "It's chaos on the red carpet. It's loud. They don't know that we're like touching them, like, above 20 times. "
Nikki totally had a favorite. "Touching Drake was exciting, because it was like very fleeting, he just flew by like he was going down a river, and we just had to like, try to grab him and that was really exciting and Katy Perry, I got close, but it didn't happen. That was thrilling, just to even try."
1) When They Actually Met Justin Timberlake
Justin Timberlake isn't just Nikki and Sara's favorite pop star, he's the reason they have a show on MTV! Nikki explained that "we made a sketch about it, or we made a PSA, and it was a call to action for him to come back to music, and this was in 2011, so it was before he started doing music again. And then, we've mentioned him, pretty much on every show since then."
Knowing how important JT was to them, Nikki and Sara's staff organized a top secret meeting with the man himself.
So what's he like in person? The ladies spilled, "He was just really beautiful in person, just like more than you think they're gonna be. He's just a really good-looking man. I'll say that. Yeah, I thought he was an angel."
Nikki & Sara LIVE's Season Two finale is on MTV tonight at 11/10 PM C.

11. The acetabular cup prosthesis of claim 9 wherein the polymeric liner includes an outer convex surface and an inner concave surface.
12. The acetabular cup prosthesis of claim 1 wherein the acetabular cup body is metallic.
This is a continuation-in-part application of prior, co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/656,247, filed Feb. 14, 1991, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,226,917 and incorporated herein by reference.
1. Field Of The Invention
The present invention relates to acetabular prosthetic devices and more particularly to an improved acetabular prosthesis (and method of surgically implanting), wherein the prosthesis has a cup or shell that includes radially extending bores therethrough that can be used as drill guides by a surgeon after the acetabular cup or shell has been placed in the patient's acetabulum. Holes can be drilled surgically into the underlying bone tissue using the drill guide openings so that one or more pegs for improved anchoring can be placed into the bores and affixed rigidly to the acetabular cup using an interference or wedge fit. The prosthesis (including cup or shell and rigidly affixed pegs) is thus anchored into the underlying surgical openings. The cup has a shiny polished inner, concave surface that faces the liner so that relative motion between the liner and shell will generate minimal liner debris. The polished shell concave surface has a roughness of less that sixteen micro inches.
2. General Background
There are a number of commercially available acetabular prosthetic devices that include a cup shaped body, some of which have projections extending from the outer surface of the cup-shaped body. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,939,497 describes a socket for a hip joint prosthesis which is secured to a cavity in the bone tissue by a series of radially arranged pegs which can be projected outwardly from the wall of the socket into the surrounding tissue by a central screw which also has a self-tapping thread that enters the tissue.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,685,923 provides a hip joint socket made from a plastics material that can be installed without the use of bone cement or adhesive. The socket comprises a hemisphere of polyethylene. The socket may have four bores extending skewed to the equatorial plane to permit the surgeon to fix the socket in the acetabulum by means of screws or dowels temporarily or permanently. The primary anchoring is provided by two plugs or pins arranged on the outer surface of a socket. The pins may be substantially parallel to each other. The pins are inserted in bore holes drilled into the bone. The bore holes are drilled so that the pins are inserted under stress. A secondary anchor in the form of flaps are present near the actuarial plane of the socket. These flaps supplement the anchoring affect of the pins.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,792,337 an acetabular cup is provided which has a metallic anchoring shell. The cup is for cement-less fixation in the acetabulum. The shell has several holes through which screws are driven into the bone. The screws have rounded heads and the holes are countersunk so that the orientation of the screws may be varied with respect to the cup and each other.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,828,565 there is provided a cotyliodal component for a non-cemented hip prosthesis. The component has two parts, a titanium hemispherical shell and a cup of polymer which is engaged into it. The shell has two zones, the first zone is covered with porous titanium capable of being invaded by spongy bone and also has two projecting pieces. The other zone has a smooth metal surface. Two screws pass through the projecting pieces and are used to anchor the component in the acetabulum.
Another acetabular cup for cement-less fixation in the acetabulum is described in European Patent Application No. 13,863, published Jun. 8, 1980. The cup is anchored to the bone by a central pin and a number of other pins distributed over the surface of the cup. The pins have several sawtooth notches along their length. The bone may be pre-drilled to take the pins.
European Patent Application No. 169,978 published May 2, 1986, describes an acetabular cup which has an outer shell embedded into the patient's pelvis. The outer shell has a frustro-conical skirt and a spherical central cap. The shell has a number of small tufts with rounded ends projecting from its surface. The tufts are embedded in the bone tissue to provide improved anchorage.
In European Patent Application No. 211,169 published Feb. 25, 1987, an acetabular cup is described in which an external boss protrudes from the outer surface of the acetabulum body to fit into a pre-drilled hole in the acetabulum. The cup also has two anchoring lugs in the meridian plane. The lugs take screws to aid in anchoring the cup.
Other foreign patents and patent applications which describe acetabular cups include European Patent Application No. 212,087 published Apr. 3, 1987, wherein metallic pins project from the surface of the cup and contain holes in which tissue may grow. In European Patent No. 341,198 published Nov. 8, 1989, an acetabular cup has a metal outer shell and a plastic body for retaining the hip joint head. The shell is frustro-conical in cross-section with an opening at an apex and circular teeth around the outside. Three or more anchoring dowels parallel to the convexes protrude from the outer surface of the shells. The dowels are slotted and provide with circular teeth of a sawtooth cross-section over the portions which protrude. A central bolt may be fitted into the dowel to provide a rounded end.
The use of cement for fixation of acetabular process, and in some cases the use of spacers, is found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,563,778, and 4,566,138. This concept of the use of bone cement and spacers is also seen in United Kingdom Patent Nos. 1,170,295 and 2,080,118.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,923,473, issued to Peter Griss et al., entitled "Hemispherical Acetabulum", relates to a hemispherical acetabulum having a fixing pin which projects from the outside surface of the acetabulum.
In prior art acetabular cup prosthetic devices, the projections or spacers are often for the sole purpose of providing a space from the bone tissue that can be occupied by bone cement. Further, many acetabular cup prosthetic devices carry projections on their outer surface which are a part of the prosthesis as constructed and which cannot be added thereafter such as during surgery.
Still other prosthetic devices in the form of acetabular cups provide pegs which must be affixed to the tissue before the acetabular cup is placed in the position. Pegs which are preattached to the cup may require predrilling or other preparation which includes impaction for the purpose of forcing the projections into the bone. The bone bed may require advance preparation in some devices to accept the protrusions.
The present invention provides an improved acetabular cup prosthesis wherein the prosthesis body (i.e. cup or shell) with pegs having attachment to the cup. The cup preferably includes openings therethrough which can function as drill guides for the surgeon after the cup has been placed in the patient's acetabulum. The present invention affords improved fixation and stability of the component because pegs can be placed in the acetabular cup after it has been placed in position by the surgeon. The pegs can be easily installed from the concave side of the acetabular cup component notwithstanding the fact that the acetabular cup component has already been placed in operative position in the patient's acetabulum.
With the present invention, a multiplicity of pegs can be rigidly attached to the acetabular cup prosthesis body for the purpose of securing it in place in the acetabular bone. This can be done through an opening or bore which is interchangeably used for a desired peg.
With the present invention, the acetabular cup can be placed in it's desired position in the acetabulum by the surgeon. The pegs (as described more fully herein) are then added to the cup body and attached to the prosthesis in a rigid fashion. Each peg protrudes through the acetabular cup body and into the underlying bone tissue of the acetabulum to provide a mechanical locking of the acetabular cup (including pegs) into the pelvis. The surgeon can use a pre-drill before placing the peg or spike wherein the opening or bore in the acetabular cup body functions as a drill guide. Pegs can be selectively placed so that they are not aligned with each other but are at angles to each other which aids in the mechanical stability of the acetabular cup body.
The apparatus preferably uses a plurality of pegs that feature a taper or wedge lock, barb lock, or knurl lock, to form an interference fit, or compression friction lock, and a rigid connection with the aetabular cup at the drill guide openings. The interference fit assures a rigid connection between peg and cup body so that each peg and cup body move together, rather that relative to one another. Relative motion causes possible contact between a peg and any polymer liner, creating the problem of liner debris generation. The pegs are smooth along the distal portion thereof so that movement of the peg and cup as a unit will not disrupt adjacent bone tissue.
The present invention thus provides an improved acetabular cup prosthesis that includes an acetabular cup body or shell component, having an inner concave surface and an outer convex surface.
A plurality of openings extend between the inner and outer surfaces along radial lines that can merge substantially near a center of curvature of the inner concave surface of the cup body, the openings forming elongated bores surrounded by a bore wall portion of the acetabular cup body. The cup body or shell can be spherical in form, or not spherical in form (such as e.g., an egg-shaped cup or shell).
The plurality of openings are positioned to define drill guides so that during a surgical implantation of the prosthesis, the surgeon can selectively drill into the underlying tissue through one or more of the openings and form surgical openings therein in the underlying bone tissue.
There are preferably a plurality of peg members, each being insertable into and registering with one or more of the openings in the prosthesis body, the peg members having a first proximate end portion having means thereon for forming a rigid connection with the acetabular cup body at one of the openings and with the bore wall, and a second smooth distal end portion adapted to extend into the underlying tissue (e.g., into surgically formed openings) after the cup body has been implanted in a patient.
For a further understanding of the nature and objects of the present invention, reference should be had to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like parts are given like reference numerals, and wherein:

FIG. 22 is a fragmentary sectional view of the second embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention illustrating the cup and cup liner connection.
In FIG. 1 there can be seen a sectional view of the first embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention designated generally by the numeral 10. In FIG. 1, there can be seen a hip prosthesis member 11 mounted in a femur 12 of a patient. The hip prosthesis 11 includes an upper ball portion 13 that registers with the acetabular prosthetic apparatus 10 of the present invention.
The acetabular prosthesis 10 includes a cup or shell prosthesis body 14, preferably of a metallic material with a plastic liner 15 portion. The metallic cup body 14 includes an inner concave surface 16 and an outer convex surface 17. The surfaces 16, 17 are spaced apart, defining the thickness of the cup or shell 14.
A plurality of openings 18 in form of preferably elongated bores extend between the inner concave surface 16 and the outer convex surface 17. These openings are in the form of bores having a bore wall 19 as seen in FIG. 3. The openings 18 can function as drill guides for the surgeon. Therefore, once the metallic cup body 14 portion of the acetabular cup prosthesis 10 is placed in position in the patient's acetabulum as shown in FIG. 1, the surgeon can simply drill through any one of the plurality of bores forming an opening in the underlying bone tissue designated generally be the numeral 20.
When the surgeon places the cup body 14 in the position shown in FIG. 1, the plurality of bores 18 can act as a drill guide for the surgeon. The bore 19 walls of each opening 18 define a cylindrically shaped guide for a correspondingly sized drill. These openings allow the surgeon to form surgical openings in the underlying bone tissue 20.
A selected surgically formed opening 18 is then occupied by a peg (and not necessarily each opening 18), such as one of the pegs 25-29, as seen in FIGS. 1-3 and 4A. In the preferred embodiment, each of the pegs 25-29 extends into the bone tissue at a different angular position with respect to the other pegs to provide a rigid anchor for the cup 14. Pegs 25-29 can be polymer, metal, or resorbable polymer.
Once the pegs 25-28 are placed into operative position, a strong connection is formed between the outer surface of each peg 25-28 and the walls 19 of each opening or bore 18. In FIGS. 5A-5C, 6A-6C, 7A-7C, and 8-11, various embodiments of the pegs, their respective attachments to the cup body 14 are illustrated.
In FIG. 8, peg 25A includes a proximate end portion 31 and a distal end portion 38A and a central longitudinal axis 34. A smaller diameter section 33 connects with a larger diameter section 32 that is covered with an external spiralling thread 39. The thread 39 bites into and interfaces with the cup body 14 at the wall 19 of each opening 18. The opening or bore 18 wall 19 can also be internally threaded to engage the thread 39.
In FIG. 9, peg 25B is provided with a proximate end 31, a distal end 34, a smaller diameter section 33, and a larger diameter section 32 that carries a plurality of annular barb rings 40. When the peg 25B is forced into the opening 18, the barbs 40 form a tight fit with the cup body 14 at the wall 19 of each opening 18.
In the embodiment of FIGS. 10, 11, and 15, pegs 25C, 25D provide a proximate, larger diameter 41 end portion, a smaller generally cylindrical distal end portion 44, and a transitional frustro-conical section 42, and a curved end 43. Similarly, peg 25D has a proximate, larger diameter 45 portion, a curved annular transition section 46, a smaller and generally cylindrical section 47, and a curved end portion 48.
The large diameter section 41 and the frustro-conical portion 42 can also be seen in FIG. 15 in a partial sectional view. The larger diameter and frustro-conical sections 41, 42 surround an internally threaded bore 68 which accepts set screw 30. The screw 30 is sized to expand the enlarged 41 and frustro-conical 42 sections slightly when the peg 25C is placed in position within one of the bores 18 which would be similar in shape to the outside surface of frustro-conical portion 42 and enlarged portion 41.
When the set screw 30 is fully threaded into the threaded opening 68, so that the external thread 67 of the set screw 30 engages the internal thread 68 of the bore, a taper lock connection or interference fit is formed between the peg 25C and the wall 19 of opening 18. Internal threads 68 in FIG. 15 can also be used as an extraction or holding means for placing and removing the peg 25c. Peg 25c would be used then without a screw 30.
The set screw 30 can have different tooled sockets, as shown in FIGS. 12A-12D. In FIG. 12A, a set screw 30A includes a square tooled socket 63. In FIG. 12B, the set screw 30B has a X-shaped slot 64 for receiving a Phillips-type screwdriver, for example. In FIG. 12C, the set screw 30C has a single transverse slot 65 and in the embodiment of FIG. 12B, the set screw 30B has an hexagonal tool socket 66. Other tooled sockets could be employed.
In FIGS. 4-4A, the pegs 25C can be shown extending from the convex 17 surface of cup body 14 and into a surgically formed opening 70 which is formed by the drill that penetrates the opening 18. In such a situation, the surgeon simply uses the opening 18 as a drill guide for a similarly shaped drill when forming surgical opening 70.
In FIGS. 5A-5C, an alternate construction of the peg is illustrated, designated generally by the numeral 50A. Peg 50A includes a rounded or hemispherical distal end portion 51 and a proximate end portion 52 that includes a pair of longitudinally extending slots 49, forming four peg sections 55.
In the embodiments of FIGS. 6A-6C, the peg 50B provides a hemispherical distal tip 51 and a single longitudinally extending transverse slot 152 forming two peg sections 55B. Enlarged annular shoulder 53 and smaller diameter recess 54 are also provided in each of the embodiments of FIGS. 5A-5C and 6A-6C.
In the embodiment of FIGS. 7A-7C, a spike-shaped peg 56 is provided having a pointed tip portion 57, and a plurality of beveled surfaces 58 that connect with a cylindrical peg body portion that includes an enlarged annular section 60 and a smaller diameter constricted section 59. The proximate 61 end portion of the peg includes a longitudinally extending Y-shaped slot 62, as seen in FIGS. 7B and 7C.
FIGS. 16-22 illustrate a second and preferred embodiment of the apparatus of the present invention designated generally by the numeral 70. Acetabular cup apparatus 70 includes a cup body 71 to which can be removably affixed a plastic cup liner 72 made of polyethylene for example. Liner 72 has an inner concave surface 73 and an external convex surface 74. Liner 72 is in the form of a hemispherical member having an annular base 75 with a plurality of curved members extending around the periphery of liner 72 at base 75 and which interface with a similarly shaped circumferentially recess formed on cup body 71 to prevent rotation of liner 72 with respect to body 71.
The cup body 71 is preferably metallic having an annular base 76 that defines a plane. The cup body 71 has an inner concave surface 77 and an external convex surface 78. The cup body 71 concave surface 77 is a shiny polished surface that faces the convex surface 74 of polymeric liner 72. The polished concave surface 77 has a roughness of less than sixteen (16) microinches, and preferably about eight (8) microinches. Such a highly polished surface 77 appears mirror-like. The polished concave surface 77 inhibits polymer liner debris generation.
External surface 78 can be covered with a plurality of small metallic beads or the like forming a bone ingrowth surface 79. The apex 80 of cup body 71 has a through opening 81 that has an internal thread 82 for attachment thereto of a tool for inserting and/or removing the cup body 71 from its position in the acetabular bone tissue of a patient.
A plurality of four openings 84, 85, 86 and 87 are provided preferably in one quadrant 88 of cup body 71. Each opening 84-87 has an internal opening configuration that includes a larger diameter generally cylindrically shaped opening portion 91 and a smaller diameter opening portion 92 (FIG. 20). The larger and smaller diameter sections 91, 92 are interfaced by an annular shoulder 93. The smaller diameter section 92 can be tapered from a point of maximum diameter adjacent annular shoulder 93 to a point of minimal diameter adjacent the annular shoulder 89. A second larger diameter cylindrical section 90 meets outer edge 94 of each opening 84-87.
Pegs 95 can be selectively fitted into any one of the openings 84-87 during use. Each peg 95 has a tapered section 96 that includes a larger diameter circular base 97 defining a proximate end portion of peg 95. Distal end portion 98 of peg 95 is generally cylindrical and smooth, and includes a curved or hemispherical smooth tip 99.
In FIG. 20 force arrows are used to demonstrate that the above-described connection between each peg 95 and the cup body 71 is a substantially rigid connection that produces load transfer between each peg member and the cup body of tension loads, compression loads, axial torsion loads, and bending moment loading. Thus, the peg 95 does not rotate nor back out with respect to the opening 85-87.
The force arrow 117 is an angled force having both a bending force component (Fb) designated as 118 and a compression force component (Fc) designated as 119. The force arrows 120 and 124 show shear forces at the interface between peg 95 and cup body 71 at a selected opening 84-87. The force arrows 121A,B are force arrows that are resisting the shear forces and the force arrows 122A,B are resisting bending forces.
A closure member 100 is shown in FIGS. 18-19 and includes a larger section 101 and a smaller diameter section 102. Annular shoulder 103 forms an interface between the larger 101 and smaller 102 diameter sections. Closure member 101 has an enlarged circular base 104 defining its proximate end portion during use and a smaller circular flat distal end 105.
The larger diameter section 101 of closure member 100 can have a beveled annular wall 106 for forming a wedge type fit with the larger diameter section 91 of a particular selected opening 84-87. In this manner, the closure member 100 can be placed in any one of the selected openings 84-87 and pressed into the selected opening 84-87 by the user even after the cup body 71 has been placed into operative position. The user simply presses the closure member 100 into one of the selected openings 84-87 by accessing the cup body 71 from the concave 77 side.
The surgeon can close any one of the selected openings 84-87 using the closure member 100 after the cup body 71 has been placed in the desired operative position and anchored into position using one or more of the pegs 95. The closure member 100 may be placed in the shell 71 before implantation, such as during manufacturing, and then selectively removed by the surgeon before use of the shell 71. Each closure member 100 occupies a position in its selected opening 84-87 and between the convex 78 and concave 77 surfaces of shell or cup body 71.
Each of the openings 84-87 has a generally cylindrical smaller diameter section 92 that can act as a drill guide for the surgeon so that drilled openings can be made into the underlying bone tissue after the acetabular cup body 71 has been placed into position. This allows one or more pegs to be placed into one or more of the selected openings 84-87. Any of the selected openings 84-87 that are not selected can be plugged using the closure member 100. This prevents the flow of the polyethylene liner into any of the openings 84-87 that are not occupied by a peg 95. The closure member 100 friction fits into the above-mentioned larger diameter portion 91 of the openings 84-87.
In FIG. 22, the connection between cup 71 and liner 72 is illustrated with greater detail. Liner 72 can be rotated as shown by arrows 107 in FIG. 16 until the raised portion 75A of base 75 is in a selected position. The liner 70 is then fitted to the cup 71 by engaging the annular recess 116 of the cup 71 with the annular corrugated shoulder 108 of the liner 72. Shoulder 108 has an inclined annular shoulder that forms an acute angle of between about eighty and eighty five degrees with the flat upper surface 111 of annular base 75 of liner 72.
The surface 111 is flat so as to register with the surface of base 76 of cup 71. The numeral 112 in FIG. 22 designates the angle between surface 111 and inclined annular wall 109. A recess 116 has a corresponding shape and size to the annular corrugated shoulder 108. The angle 113 formed between inner inclined annular surface 114 and annular surface 115 is the same angular measure as angle 112.
This configuration of annular shoulder 108 and recess 116 provides a snap or interference fit between the liner shoulder 108 and the cup 71 at recess 116 which helps secure the liner 72 to the cup 71 during use.

Deborah Norville has written a new book, "Thank You Power: Making the Science of Gratitude Work for You". She did research and interviews to find out whether being grateful actually heals. She found that a study at UC Davis showed statistically that grateful people are happier and healthier, they recover faster from trauma.
Maybe this study is similar to the one that shows religion and prayer makes people calmer and heal faster, too. Perhaps acceptance of the world around us and self acceptance helps us heal.

Originally written on State of Hockey News | Last updated 11/29/12
When most fans logged on to their hockey websites of choice today to see if there were any updates regarding the lockout, I doubt any of us expected to see the headline that Minnesota Wild goaltender Josh Harding was diagnosed with muscular sclerosis. We've been hoping for good news for weeks now, and instead we are greeted with more bad news. Before I continue, I need to let you all know where I'm coming from as I write this. While I do not have MS myself, I was born with a rare hereditary spinal cord disorder called familial spastic paraparesis (FSP). My late father had it, as did his siblings and their mother. I have it but my younger brother does not, though he could carry the recessive gene. Like MS, it is neurological in nature. In my case, FSP causes weakness in my leg muscles and poor balance. At this time (I am 36 years old), I can still walk, although with the assistance of a cane. Eventually, I will most likely be in a wheelchair. It does not scare me ...

Great for the right shoe
I'm a 10.5 and I find the Orange flavor to be a better fit for most of my shoes. I've started skateboarding a bit and wanted more support than the insoles provided (none). I found the Orange ones to make the overall fit too snug. The Blues are great when you want more support with a slightly lower profile. In Asics running shoes, the blues are slightly too narrow in my opinion.

GC 2009: The Minis Cometh
August 18, 2009 - Earlier today, Sony blew people's minds with the announcement of the slimmer, cheaper PlayStation 3, but the company bundled that news with the announcement of Minis -- bite-size PSP games that are 100 MB or less and only available for download off of the PlayStation Store. During the presentation, clips of Minigore and Hero of Sparta were shown -- two prominent iPhone games -- but now that a couple of hours have gone by, there are more games to talk about.
