Big Black Delta Releases New Single 'Betamax' Today, Nov 5
Big Black Delta's new single "Betamax" will be released today, November 5th. "Betamax" is the second single from an upcoming album set for release in early 2013.
"Betamax" reveals a more melodic side to Big Black Delta's sound and today's release will include remixes from the likes of breakthrough Dutch dubstep producer Martyn, Lord John Fonda, Shameboy, and more. Big Black Delta himself (Jonathan Bates) has also been in demand for remixes from the likes of Rob Zombie, M83, and Dhani Harrison's The newno2 to name a few.
Big Black Delta spent the summer playing headlining dates around the country and supporting old friends M83 and Jane's Addiction. In October, they will return to the UK for a full tour.
The brainchild of Jonathan Bates (Mellowdrone), Big Black Delta's explosive live show features dueling drummers and an orchestrated light show using visual elements of the bespoke album artwork, which was created by Jonathan himself and creative director Caspar Newbolt. No stranger to pushing boundaries, LA based Bates was, until recently, the driving force behind alt rock favorites Mellowdrone, has been heavily involved in M83's live and studio sound and has also worked with the likes of White Sea, among others.
Not many new bands can lay claim to praise from the likes of Jay-Z and Dave Navarro in the same week, but then Big Black Delta isn't just any band.

Balanced decision-making
In the upcoming election for City Council, an important consideration for me is a balanced approach to decision-making. Christy Weir has shown this during her tenure on our council and deserves our support going forward.
As a member of the Parks and Recreation Commission and Visitors and Convention Bureau board, I have observed the balance that Weir maintains between her passion for parks and open space with the economic vitality required to support the services that make the city of Ventura such a great place to live. Weir understands that Parks are important not only to our quality of life, but also to the tourist industry that is so important to Ventura. Good parks bring visitors to Ventura, and visitors bring a need for hotels, food and other services. It's a win-win for Ventura.
Please support Christy Weir for re-election to our City Council.

I hate simple simpletons singing like they ripperton//
A bunch of Minnie men whose simple flow I'm simply ripping in//
Lyric Meaning
A jab at those who feel the need to constantly sing on their rap songs. Simple minds putting out simple music.Example: (insert any rapper on radio). Ripperton as in Minnie Ripperton who sang the classic "Loving You" was well known for her high pitch and beautiful voice. So when saying her name its to explain that these rap songstresses really think they have a beautiful voice. When in my opinion they don't.

If you are at risk (because of age or other issue), are you opting for Chorionic Villus Sampling, or for Amniocentisis, or neither?
POLL: CVS test or Amniocentisis?

I had a late loss in Dec @ 21 weeks due to triploidy and will be offered testing options. I didn't "vote" in the poll yet, b/c I haven't decided what I am doing. We are meeting with the MFM/perinatologist and genetic counselor on Wed to discuss our options. I am hoping they will give us some good direction. I initially thought I would go right to CVS, but now I don't know. I am pregnant with twins, so I'm not sure how much riskier that makes CVS (I am assuming they do it twice b/c they'll have to pull villi from each placenta). So...I am leaning towards 1st tri screeing. Praying that those results are good, I'll wait for amnio. If those results are not good (knock on wood)...or if just NT is concerning, I may then opt for CVS. So...I guess I'll have a better answer in a few days...and then an even clearer answer in a few weeks. Fingers crossed that everything is good and healthy!

I've written a function for a simulation which will - in general operation without being specific to the simulation scenario, duplicate or delete columns from a matrix based on two values which determine the proportion of the matrix to duplicate or delete: the two values are always between 0.01 and 0.99:
Dup.Dels <- function(matrix, values){
p.dup <- ceiling(ncol(matrix)*as.numeric(values[1])) #Determine how many columns to be duplicated.
p.del <- ceiling(ncol(matrix)*as.numeric(values[2])) # Determine how many columns to be deleted.
dups <- sample(ncol(matrix), p.dup, replace=FALSE) # Randomly choose columns to be duplicated.
dels <- sample(ncol(matrix), p.del, replace=FALSE) # Randomly choose columns to be deleted.
matrix.new <- cbind(matrix, matrix[,dups]) # Duplicate columns.
matrix.new <- matrix.new[,-dels] # Delete columns.
I have a list of matrices of different column numbers and I apply the function like so (the values are in a matrix): The lapply goes down the matrix list, and down the matrix with the 'values' in, applying the function.
New.Matrices <- lapply(seq(Matrices), function(i) Dup.Dels(Matrices[[i]], Values[i,]))
Now the weird thing is, if I test this with data and run this function. It appears to work exactly how I want it to, yet when it is called from the simulation loop I get:
Error: subscript out of bounds
So I open up all my .R files, load all my functions and open the simulation loop, go through each line, sending it to the R interpreter one by one, function by function. I get to the lapply line above, and it works! For some reason it works when I spoon feed my simulation loop line by line, but if I call the function to start up the simulation and run it, it will hit that function and tell me the subscript is out of bounds. Commenting out the call to the function in the simulation allows the rest of the simulation to execute perfectly.
Does anybody know why I would get this strange behaviour with this code? - writing it, testing it line by line with some starting data the simulation actually uses, it works fine, even going through the entire sim step by step, it works fine. Closing it all up and running the simulation by function call (or by loading package) however it hits an error. Running through it with
debug and
browser it also hits this error at the same point - something is up with this function, it does not appear previous operations do something to the data to make it screw upon hitting the function, since surely that should also happen when I step through the sim operation by operation in my .R script when I test and write it. I can't figure out, as far as I can tell my indexing in the lapply line is correct, both for operating on every element of the list Matrix, and going down the rows of the matrix storing the two "values".
In summary what I desire:
- Calculate the number of columns to be deleted or duplicated.
- Then I want to sample the indexes of columns to be deleted, and those to be copied.
- Then I want to make the new matrices by removing the columns, or duplicating them.

The three top-paying cities for Senior Operations Managers in the United States — San Jose, San Francisco, and San Diego — are all in California. With some bonuses approaching $24K and certain profit sharing proceeds approaching $20K, overall incomes of Senior Operations Managers spread between $56K and $145K depending on individual performance. Geographic location and career duration each impact pay for this group, with the former having the largest influence. Most workers in this position report high levels of job satisfaction. Making up 71 percent of those who took the survey, male Senior Operations Managers greatly outnumber their female counterparts. A large number enjoy medical while most get dental coverage. Vision coverage is also available to a fair number. Respondents to the PayScale salary survey provided the data for this report.

A senior operations manager provides oversight to a team of employees, providing training and oversight to ensure a company's operations run smoothly. They implement procedures, provide information to supervisors such as senior vice presidents, and generate ideas to help increase productivity. They must provide constructive feedback to the employees underneath them, as well as positively receive feedback from supervisors and incorporate it into their work. The senior operations manager typically works during regular business hours, although they may need to work nights and weekends due to their employer's needs.Read More...
A senior operations manager needs a bachelor's degree, and a master's degree is usually preferred. Usually three to eight years of experience is required. A knowledge of the company's field and excellent communication skills are required
Add this chart to your site: 640px 300px
Though it's uncommon, some Senior Operations Managers move into roles as VPs of Operations, where pay is an average $122K per year. Many Senior Operations Managers advance into roles as Operations Directors or Directors of Operations, but the median salaries are $10K lower and $6K lower, respectively.
Senior Operations Managers seem to require a rather large skill set. Most notably, facility with Process Improvement, Inventory Management, and Data Analysis are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 24 percent, 23 percent, and 17 percent, respectively. Those listing Logistics as a skill should be prepared for drastically lower pay. Customer Relationship Management and Microsoft Excel also typically command lower compensation. Most people who know Operations Management also know Project Management.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
In general, experience and pay appear to be strongly linked; those with more experience usually bring in higher incomes. Relatively untried employees who have less than five years' experience make $68K, but folks with five to 10 years under their belts enjoy an appreciably larger median of $83K. Senior Operations Managers who work for 10 to 20 years in their occupation tend to earn about $100K. Senior Operations Managers with more than 20 years of experience report incomes that are only modestly higher; the median for these old hands hovers around $107K.
For Senior Operations Managers, San Jose, San Francisco, and San Diego, three California cities, are home to the highest salaries in the United States, all offering a rate above the national average. The smallest paychecks in the market, 15 percent south of the national average, can be found in Los Angeles. Below-median salaries also turn up in Charlotte and Phoenix (6 percent lower and 3 percent lower, respectively).

Mosquito populations in Minnesota are on the decline this fall, including the ones that transmit the West Nile virus. The peak risk period usually runs from mid-July to mid-September. The state Health Department's Dave Neitzel says the number of human West Nile cases this season mirrors 2012, with 61 West Nile cases reported and two fatalities this year. Last year, there were 70 cases total. Neitzel says they are still analyzing reports from late August and September. Minnesota had a record-low two West Nile cases in 2011.

LAFAYETTE, Louisiana — A sentencing date has been set for Seth Fontenot, the Lafayette man convicted in March of manslaughter in the death of 15-year-old Austin Rivault in 2013.
The Advertiser reports (http://bit.ly/1QAWHfA) Fontenot will be sentenced on July 8.
J.N. Prather Jr., assistant district attorney, says Judge Edward Rubin, who heard the case, is expected to set Fontenot's sentence.
Fontenot was charged with one count of first-degree murder for Rivault's death and with two counts of attempted first-degree murder for injuring two other teens.
But a jury in March found Fontenot guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter and two counts of aggravated battery.
He still could face up to 40 years in prison, but avoided life in prison that comes with a first-degree murder conviction.

Bookcase Headboard
Exactly what we were looking for. All particle board, but it was like it just came off the assembly line. Awesome!!!!Read More
Nice for the price!
I've been looking for a headboard for a while. I wanted something easy to look at, with a little room for those bedside items like books and lights, and most of all, it had to be affordable. This headboard is all that and a little more. The style is good - a little bit traditional with a modern flair. It is the perfect height for my bed (an 11 inch mattress on a platform) and leaves a bit of wall above for some art. There's plenty of room for anything you might keep on it and the finish looks great! It's hard to believe that this heavy duty and good looking headboard cost less than $200, but it did, and I'm very happy with it. It was really pretty easy to put together. It's true that the pieces weren't marked, but if you look at the directions and take your time, it shouldn't take longer than an hour to assemble. I'm a 50+ woman, and I did it myself in that time. The only tools needed are a hammer and a phillips head screwdriver. Once it's assembled it's very sturdy, and while it doesn't attach to the bed frame, it stays where I put it quite nicely, and doesn't rock or creak. Finally, Overstock delivered it to my door in 4 days, and shipping was free! Really, it's an awesome buy and a great item.Read More
this headboard was fairly easy to put together (I only had to ask my husband for help at the very end when I was standing it up:-)). The color is not exactly what I expected, it's darker than what it looks like in the picture and doesn't actually go with the piece of furniture I was trying to match it too. It's sturdy. The shelves do gather dust so it needs to be wiped regularly.Read More
great for price
Love this headboard! Had a question regarding dimensions, and the helpful customer service staff was very friendly and accommodating and got back to me quickly with the answer. My question, in case you have the same, was what is the height of the headboard from floor to bottom shelf? I needed to know to see if my mattress & frame were too deep to fit under the shelf area. It is 29 inches. This was a great product and I assembled it myself in no time.Read More
Montego Maple King Size Storage Headboard
This was my first time trying furniture from Overstock. The product not only came with easy to read instructions, but it also included a timeline for how long it would take to assemble the product. Although I didn't attach the headboard to my bed frame in the end, it stands behind and fits my bed and room, perfectly. I will definitely order more furniture from them in the future.Read More
Can stand alone/no need to fasten to frame
Easier to put together than we thought, although the boards weren't marked. Worked well with 2 people putting it together and the electric screwdriver made the job go a lot faster. One of the images in the book isn't quite right it shows the 2 pieces of wood that you tap the "feet" into as equal in length when they truly aren't. If you look at the next page, the picture is correct, again if the boards were marked this wouldn't be a problem. I'm glad I read other reviews because it was made clear to make sure you have all of the pieces facing the proper way. We only had to fix 2 boards that were backwards but that was our fault. Be careful when tacking on the thin backboard, make sure your nails are lined up correctly, I did crack a piece of the particle board so be very careful. I did not tack around each cubby hole because there are no markings. Overall we love the look of our new headboard and didn't have to fasten it to the frame it stands alone and it didn't take us all day to put together, about 1 hour.Read More
Value-priced headboard
We bought this headboard after looking in stores for a while. While it is not real wood, it gives that appearance. Strongly recommend two people to do assembly. While not difficult, it goes more smoothly with two. Had to buy hardware to connect to bed frame, but no big deal. Overall, a very good value.Read More
Looks just like picture
We bought this headboard to go with existing pieces. It did. It was a little difficult to put together, but this was expected. Works well for our needs and price was right.Read More

I have an adjustable king size bed (two twins together) and would like to know if the Montego Maple Bookcase Headboard will work for my situation. Measurements are good but bed will have to stand in front of rather than inside headboard. I think the headboard is self standing.
Hello grammytcmae, I hope your day is going well. I went through the reviews and this does not come with the hardware to attach to your frame. Reviewers let it just stand behind their bed frame and it worked well for them. You should have no problem doing the same. Thank you for shopping with us.
Does the frame, box spring and mattress fit back inside the frame or does it butt up against it. Inside would not take away from the space to walk in from of the bed with walker.
Hello Valued Customer, I hope your day is going well. The bed frame would be on the inside of the headboard. Thank you for shopping with us.
Somehow the instruction booklet was thrown away by accident. Is it possible to get the instructions on-line? If not, how can I get them? Thanks!
Hello twerk9383, thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
This headboard is listed as 81.5 wide. Our mattress measures about 6 inches less. Will this work for us?
Hello polska40, This is a king size head board and it sounds from your measurement you have a king size mattress. This headboard will work for you. Thank you for shopping with us! Vicki H
The width of this is listed as 81.5 inches our mattress measures about six inches less. Will that be a probles?
This shouldn't be a problem. You can expect the headboard to come out about 3 inches on each side, just like it is in the picture. Thanks for shopping with us. -Miranda G.
Do you sell a King bed frame that will fit this headboard?
Hello southerngirl123, I'm sorry I could not find that we have any king bed frames. You can find them at the mattress store for really cheap though. This will work with any standard king bed frame. Have a great day!
Will the king size headboard fit a California King bedframe?
Any Cal king will be 72 inches wide. Regular king size is 78 inches so there will be room.
is there a way to run cords (for alarm clocks or reading lights) down the back of the headboard? (are there holes for that, or a space between the shelf and the backing?)
There are no holes or openings for accommodating cords in this headboard.
does the bed frame come with the headboard
No, this is the headboard only.
How wide is the King-size headboard? and How wide is the Queen-size headboard? If using a queen platform bed choice, is it better to have this headboard a bit wider or a bit shorter than the platform bed below it?
The external dimensions of the Montego Maple King Size Storage Headboard are 81.5 inches wide x 43 inches high x 11 inches deep. The external dimensions of the Montego Maple Full/Queen-size Headboard (item #10469713) are 65.75 inches wide x 43 inches high x 11 inches deep. I would think you would want the headboard a bit wider to allow the bedframe to go within the headboard.
How Does The Headboard Fasten To The BedFrame? Does The Headboard Get Bolted To The Bedframe?
It is bolted to the frame.

35 year old man | Denver, CO, USA | Seeking women 23-35 within 50 miles
hi :-)
I am an ambitious person, who has a good job, great friends, and lives in one of the best places in the world. Something (someone) is still missing. Normally I would not consider online dating, but for some reason I haven't met my dream girl at the bars or my friends house parties yet, therefore... Here is my short bio: I like outdoors (I go hiking and camping all the time), I love to work out (so somebody who takes care of their own body is a huge plus); I like to travel (I've been to probably over 10 different countries in my life so far); I like going out with my friends (mostly to the bars, especially now when you can drink on the patio, and any place where there is a good live music), I love talking about something interesting over a cup of coffee and occasional hookah (it could be politics, music, other countries, travel, and any other fun and interesting experiences. I like making people smile and laugh, so a good sense of humor is a must. I am looking for a funny, smart, and outgoing adventurous girl. One of these days I will figure out why all girls love to take pictures of themselves while they are jumping... It is somewhat embarrassing, but I have a cat, so if anybody is allergic... Perfect first meeting for me would be: meeting for a coffee at some cool coffee place, talk, and see if there is any connection. After that who knows: play pool at the bar, going to some dive bar where they play great jazz or blues, or just have a drink on the patio at some nice restaurant. Maybe there is a connection, then it's great; if not, well hopefully we will enjoy each other's company for an hour.

Computer scientists at IBM have developed a brain-inspired computer chip which could pave the way for super-intelligent sensory devices.
"Imagine a computer that can understand your environment," Dharmendra Modha, IBM's chief scientist for brain-inspired computing, told FoxNews.com. "This provides a sixth sense to computing."
The new chip, called TrueNorth, will enable "low power sensory processing in mobile devices," according to the IBM scientist. One potential use could be in glasses for the visually impaired which function as a sort of high-tech guide dog, he added.
The chip was born out of the SyNAPSE, a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) - funded project, which also involved Cornell Tech and Zurich, Switzerland-based neurotechnology specialist iniLabs. SyNAPSE aims to develop computer systems that can handle large volumes of data with minimal power, similar to how the human brain functions.
Containing 5.4 billion transistors, TrueNorth consumes just 70 milliwatts of power, significantly less than a typical microprocessor. IBM says that the chip's intense processing power, combined with its low energy consumption, enable it to compute a variety of sensory data, such as images, sound, and even smell.

A hip replacement is performed by separating a femoral head from a femoral neck in a patient's body, fragmenting of the femoral head and removing the fragments from the body, and molding in-situ in the body a neo femoral head joined to the femoral neck. The molding is performed by inserting a molding device, formed of bioabsorbable material, through a hole formed through the femoral head and the femoral neck. The molding device includes an expandable balloon which is expanded by the introduction of molding material, whereby the balloon forms the shape of the neo femoral head.
1. A molding device for the in-situ molding of a neo femoral head during a hip replacement procedure, comprising:
an elongated body formed of bioabsorbable material and having front and rear ends and a passage formed therein for communicating the rear end with an outer peripheral surface of the body, and
a balloon formed of bioabsorbable material and mounted on the body adjacent a front end thereof, the passage communicating with the outer peripheral surface at a location inside of the balloon and at a location outside of the balloon.
2. The molding device according to claim 1 wherein the front end comprises a forwardly facing convexly curved surface, a front end of the balloon disposed rearwardly of the convexly curved surface.
3. The molding device according to claim 1 wherein the rear end is flared outwardly in a rearward direction to form a conical surface.
4. The molding device according to claim 1 wherein the body further includes a laterally outwardly extending bushing situated intermediate the front and rear ends at a location rearwardly of the balloon.
5. The molding device according to claim 1 wherein the body includes another passage having an inlet located adjacent the rear end and an outlet located adjacent the front end.
This application is a divisional of application Ser. No. 09/071,203, filed May 1, 1998, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,997,582.
The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for performing a hip replacement.
Hip replacement surgery, pioneered in the early 1960's, has been characterized by the substitution of the degenerated joint with prosthetic components, typically formed of polyethlylene and metal alloys. These are affixed to the underlying bone immediately at the time of surgery by the use of bone cement or by coating or texturing the components in such a manner as to allow the surrounding bone to eventually grow into the surface. However subsequent loosening of the prosthesis, regardless of the method of fixation, has been a well documented complication of the procedure. Additionally, this loosening can become clinically symptomatic requiring revision surgery. This problem is especially concerning in younger individuals who have undergone joint replacement, as their functional demands are often higher than in older individuals and their expected lifespan may be in excess of the anticipated functional life of the replacement.
Further study of the problem of long term prosthetic loosening has suggested that the common underlying pathway of failure for cemented and uncemented prostheses involves the generation of particulate debris. That is, particles of polyethylene, submicron in size, are generated by the articulation of the two prosthetic components during motion. It is estimated that some 500,000 submicroscopic polyethylene particles are produced with each individual step that a patient takes, with as many as 1,000,000 cycles or steps per year. It has been postulated that this debris creates not only third body wear of the components, but also produces an inflammatory reaction in certain individuals resulting in the release of degradative enzymes. These enzymes can ultimately lead to a breakdown of the bone/cement or bone/prosthesis interface.
Consequently, significant effort has been directed toward reducing the production of such particles, mainly by improving the biomechanical properties of the polyethylene through manufacturing and processing techniques. As well, the use of ultra-low friction ceramics has been tried in clinical practice toward this end, however cases reports of early prosthetic fractures necessitating revision surgery has curtailed their use. A reemergence of trials of metal-on-metal articulations has also recently appeared, but no long-term data on these is available as of yet, leaving the problem of particulate debris and loosening as the single and most significant unsolved problem facing joint replacement surgeons today.
Therefore, it would be desirable to provide hip replacement methods and techniques which eliminate or alleviate the above described problems.
That object is achieved by the present invention which involves a hip replacement method comprising the steps of:
A) separating a femoral head from a femoral neck in a patient's body;
B) removing the femoral head from the body; and
C) molding in-situ in the body a neo-femoral head joined to the femoral neck.
Prior to step A, a pilot hole is preferably formed through the femoral neck and the femoral head starting from the lateral cortex. Step C preferably comprises inserting into the hole a molding device for defining a shape of the neo femoral head. The device is formed of bioabsorbable materials. A molding substance is inserted into and around the device, preferably into an expandable balloon portion of the device, whereby the balloon is expanded. Thereafter, the molding substance is allowed to set.
The invention also pertains to the molding device for the in-situ molding of a neo-femoral head during a hip replacement procedure. The molding device comprises an elongated body formed of bioabsorbable materials and having front and rear ends and a passage formed therein for communicating the rear end with an outer peripheral surface of the body. The device also includes a balloon formed of bioabsorbable material and mounted on the body adjacent a front end thereof. The passage communicates with the outer peripheral surface at a location inside of the balloon and at a location outside of the balloon.
The objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment thereof in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which like numerals designate like elements and in which:
FIG. 1 is a sectional view taken through a hip joint after a guide wire has been inserted centrally through the femoral neck and femoral head of the joint;
FIG. 2 is a view similar to FIG. 1 after a drill has bored out the femoral neck and femoral head;
FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 2, depicting a saw in the process of severing the femoral head from the femoral neck;
FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 3 after the saw has been removed and a burr has been inserted to fragment the femoral head;
FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 4 after the burr has been inserted through the hole to denude the degenerated cartilage of the acetabulum;
FIG. 6 is a view similar to FIG. 5 after a molding device has been inserted through the drilled hole;
FIG. 7 is a view similar to FIG. 6 as molding compound is being introduced through the molding device to expand a balloon of the molding device;
FIG. 8 is a view similar to FIG. 7 after the balloon has been fully expanded;
FIG. 9 is a view similar to FIG. 8 as cartilage growth-promoting cells are ejected through the molding device;
FIG. 10 is a view similar to FIG. 9 after the bioabsorbable materials of the molding device have been replaced by bone;
FIG. 11 is a side view of the molding device according to the present invention;
FIG. 12 is a longitudinal sectional view taken through the molding device of FIG. 11;
FIG. 13 is a front end view of the molding device;
FIG. 14 is a rear end view of the molding device;
FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line 15--15 in FIG. 12;
FIG. 16 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line 16--16 in FIG. 12;
FIG. 17 is a side view of the femur; and
FIG. 18 is a side view of the femur depicting the lateral cortex of the femur.
FIG. 1 depicts, prior to a replacement procedure, a ball-and-socket hip joint 10. The socket is comprised of a cup-shaped cavity formed by the acetabulum 14, and the ball is formed by the head 16 of a femur. The head 16 projects from a neck 15 of the femur and is joined to the socket by a ligamentum teres attachment 20 and joint capsule 21. The femur is also depicted in FIGS. 17 and 18.
Prior to performing a hip replacement procedure according to the present invention, an arthroscopy of the patient's ipsilateral knee is performed about three weeks prior to the planned procedure. Using standard arthroscopic techniques, a harvest of a cartilage graft is procured from the femoral condyle, where the non articular portion of the femoral condyle is most accessible. The harvested cells are stored and prepared according to the protocol as outlined in the NEJM October 1994 331 p 889.
To perform the hip replacement procedure, the patient is placed on a radiolucent fracture table in a supine position as would be typically used to address an intertrochanteric hip fracture. The ipsilateral foot is well padded and then placed in a traction boot. A well leg holder is used for the other leg. A six centimeter incision is made at the inferior border of the greater trochanter in the midline of the lateral femur, to expose a length L of the lateral cortex 28 of the femur (see FIG. 18), similar to the incision made when fixing an intertrochanteric hip fracture.
Under fluoroscopic control, a standard guide wire 30 found in any standard hip screw set is passed centrally through the femoral neck 15 and head 16 (see FIG. 1). Proper centering should be confirmed on AP and Lateral views. Approximate centering, which is acceptable in fixing hip fractures is not adequate and the wire should be repeatedly passed until it is dead center on both views.
Once it has been confirmed that the guide wire 30 has been properly centered, a standard triple reaming drill 34 is fed along the guide wire 30 to bore a hole 31 through the femoral neck 15 and head 16 (see FIG. 2). A description of such a step may be found in The Dynamic Hip Screw Implant System by Regozzoni, Ruedi, Winquist, and Allgower, 1985 Springer-Verlag Berlin, Heidelberg, New York, Tokyo. A front portion of the drill cuts a 10 mm diameter portion 33 of the hole 31 (FIG. 3), and a rear portion of the drill cuts a 12 mm diameter portion 35 of the hole 31. An intersection 37 of the two bore, which coincides with the junction 39 of the femoral neck 15 and head 16, is flared by the drill. Also, the extreme outer end 38 of the bore 35 at the lateral cortex is flared by the drill to about 22 mm.
A standard OEC femoral shortening saw 36 is then fed along the guide wire 30 until the blade 40 of the saw reaches the flare 37 at the junction between the femoral neck and head. Under floro control this position is confirmed on two views. The blade 40 of the saw is then gradually deployed until the neck has been fully cut, disengaging the femoral head (see FIG. 4). The head 16 is now free floating in the joint except for its ligamentum teres attachment 20. Then, the guide wire 30 is removed, and standard anterior arthroscopic portals are exploited to introduce an arthroscope and a grasper (not shown), as well as a conventional high speed aggressive flame burr 42 for fragmenting the femural head 16. The grasper is used to stabilize the head 16 while the flame burr is fragmenting it. The burr makes only a very small puncture in the capsule 21. The "bone dust" representing the formal femoral head is carried away with the outflow fluid through the hole 31.
Once the head 16 has been fragmented, the burr 42 is maneuvered to cut a concave recess 44 in the end of the femural neck 15 (FIG. 5). Then, the burr 42 is placed through the hole 31 to enable the degenerated cartilage 46 of the acetabulum to be denuded (see also FIG. 5).
If desired, a Coherent Holmium:YAG laser could be introduced into the joint through the previously established arthroscopic portholes. Using a 2.0 joule 40 htz setting, any remaining acetabular cartilage could be vaporized.
At this point, a neo-femoral head will be reconstituted through the use of a molding device 50 depicted in FIGS. 12-17. The molding device 50 comprises a body 52 formed of a suitable bioabsorbable material such as polylactic or polyglycolic acid. The body 52 includes a cylindrical main section 54, having a flared rear end 56 (the angle of the flare matching the flare angle of the end 38 of the hole 31), and a front tip 58 having a convex, spherically curved front surface 60 of larger diameter than the diameter of the main section 54. Thus, the front tip 58 forms a rearwardly projecting shoulder 62.
The main section 54 includes a lateral flange or centering bushing 64 located intermediate the front and rear ends, and having an outer diameter corresponding to the diameter of the hole 31 and to the diameter of the front surface 60. Axial through-holes 66 are formed in the bushing 64. The length of the main section can vary, depending on the length of the femoral neck 15.
An axial central passage 70 extends along the axis of the body 52 from the rear end thereof and terminates short of the front tip 58. Lateral passages 72 project outwardly from the central passage 70 and extend through the outer peripheral surface of the body 62.
A secondary passage 74 extends completely through the body 52 from the rear end to the front tip, preferably parallel to the axis of the body 52. The passages 70 and 74 terminate rearwardly in the form of tapered (frustoconical) inlet ports 76, 78, respectively, that are integral with the body 52.
Attached to the body 52 by means of a biocompatible adhesive is an expandable balloon 80 which will define the shape of a neo-femoral head. The balloon 80 is formed of a suitable bioabsorbable material which can be expanded and eventually absorbed by the body. For example, the balloon could be formed of Marlex Mesh or a cloth woven of bioabsorbable suture material. The balloon need not be water-tight or air tight, but need only be able to retain a molding substance, such as conventional fracture grout, which will be employed to expand the balloon (as will be hereinafter described). To that end, the balloon surrounds some of the lateral passages 72.
The manner of utilizing the molding device 50 to mold, in-situ, a neo femoral head is depicted in FIGS. 6-9. As shown in FIG. 6, the device 50 is inserted through the hole 31 until the flared end 56 of the body 52 bears snugly against the flared end 38 of the hole 31. The device 50 is stabilized and centered within the hole 31 by the bushing 64 which bears against the wall of the hole 31. A body 52 of suitable length will have been selected for use to ensure that the front tip 58 bears against the socket wall 82 of the acetabuhum as shown in FIG. 6. A fluoroscopic image is then taken to determine that the device has been properly positioned.
Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the barrel 90 of a syringe is fitted against the inlet port 76 that communicates with the center passage 70. The syringe barrel contains conventional fracture grout (e.g., Norian SRS) which, when the plunger 92 of the syringe is depressed, flows through the center passage 70 and the lateral passages to fill the balloon 80 and then the space 96 formed between the body 52 and the wall of the hole 31. The filling occurs in this sequence because the lateral passages 72 which exit within the balloon are of a slightly larger diameter than those that exit into space 96. This filling sequence avoids extravasation of grout into the joint space. The grout can, if necessary, flow through the through-holes 66 of the bushing 64 to allow uniform filling of space 96, thereby avoiding the formation of filling voids and potential stress risers.
Eventually, the balloon 80 forms a generally spherically shaped cavity adjacent an end surface of the femur, and fracture grout 98 occupies the cavity and the space 96, as well as the passages 70, 72 of the body 52. The cavity formed by the balloon can be of various sizes and shapes as required, and need not be exactly spherical.
At this point, or possibly at some time later, a syringe barrel 100 is fitted to the inlet port 78 which communicates with the secondary passage 74. The syringe barrel contains the cells of the cartilage graft which were taken and stored weeks prior to the initiation of the replacement procedure. Those cells are then injected through the secondary passage 74 to fill the area between the balloon and socket in order to promote cartilage growth. The outer end of the passage 74 can then be plugged. In lieu of introducing such cells, it may be preferred instead to introduce a suitable bio-compatible resurfacing gel.
The inlet ports 76, 78 are then trimmed off the body 52 and the wound is closed in layers, with the use of a drain if needed.
It is expected that for six to eight weeks the post-operative care will involve crutch-walking so as to avoid applying weight to the replacement. Then the patient is allowed to progressively bear weight up to full weight.
FIG. 10 depicts the joint after the bioabsorbable materials of the body 52 and the balloon 80, as well as the fracture grout have been replaced by bone. The tip portion 58 of the body 52, due to its being exposed to the cartilage of the socket wall is not replaced by bone, but rather will leave an indentation 90 as the front of the neo femoral head.
Since the neo femoral head is produced through the use of bioabsorbable materials according to the invention, there remains in the socket no plastic element that can give rise to the generation of plastic particulate debris as occurs in prior art hip replacement procedures involving the use of polyethylene prostheses. Hence, no inflammation attributable to the generation of such debris can result from the procedure according to the invention. Hence, the risk of failure of the replacement should be appreciably lower when employing the present invention.
Also, a much smaller incision is required to perform a hip replacement according to the present invention, as compared with conventional techniques, so the recovery period should be shorter.
Furthermore, little blood loss would result from the procedure, thereby avoiding the need for post-operative blood transfusion as is often required in prior art procedures. Additionally, the joint capsule is preserved in the procedure of the present invention, allowing the patient to retain his/her normal hip joint position sense or proprioception.
Although the present invention has been described in connection with a preferred embodiment thereof, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that additions, deletions, modifications, and substitutions not specifically described may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Scalia: "If we can't be together, you can't be together. That's our dissent."
Exclusive bombshell interview with Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas.
Exclusive bombshell interview with Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas.
Estranged hair piece reveals it was glued to scalp with Donald Trump's syphilitic ejaculate: "Trump used me as a spew rag" on lonely nights when turned away by Mexican soap opera stars. "Seriously, Frater Combover can choke on a buffet of dicks."
Cronus [Saturn], having an uneasy conscience, was afraid that his children might one day rise up against his authority, and thus verify the prediction of his father Uranus. In order, therefore, to render the prophecy impossible of fulfillment, Cronus swallowed each child as soon as it was born, greatly to the sorrow and indignation of his wife Rhea. When it came to Zeus... she wrapped a stone in baby-clothes, and Cronus, in eager haste, swallowed it, without noticing the deception. The child thus saved, eventually, as we shall see, dethroned his father Cronus, became supreme god in his stead, and was universally venerated as the great national god of the Greeks.
As for the "New World Order," those are the words of Republicans and Democrats, like George H.W. Bush and Joe Biden respectively, which they have spoken on national television. They are not quoted out of context, but in terms of creating a totalitarian utopia. Aside from being a mockery of American rights, it is also a mockery of Christianity. The latter is mentioned because the greatest push for the TPP is from the political party that associates itself most with Christianity, this to the point of suggesting this nation should be a theocracy.
The one document an elected official must know like the back of his hand. Read it before the TPP helps slap a copyright on it, and takes it off the net.

"When tempted to do anything in secret, ask yourself if you would do it in public; if you would not, be sure that it is wrong."
Thomas Jefferson
As it is now, this is a nation that is controlled by Wall Street, and as such, is controlled by corporations; particularly banking institutions. As it is now, […]
"The whole government and administration of affairs was placed in his hands; so much to the joy and satisfaction of the public, that, in less than three months after, above a hundred and sixty thousand victims are said to have been offered in sacrifice..."
"The ground fought over had varied in width, but averaged three-quarters of a mile. The killed, and many of the severely wounded, of both armies, lay within this belt where it was impossible to reach them. The woods were set on fire by the bursting shells, and the conflagration raged. The wounded who had not strength to move themselves were either suffocated or burned to death. Finally the fire communicated with our breastworks, in places. Being constructed of wood, they burned with great fury. But the battle still raged, our men firing through the flames until it became too hot to remain longer."
"I could see the cannoneers preparing to fire, and cautioned the officers near me to scatter, as we would likely attract a shot. Very soon I saw the white puff of smoke, and, watching close, caught sight of the ball as it rose in its flight, and, finding it coming pretty straight, I stepped a short distance to one side, but noticed a negro very near me in the act of crossing the track at right angles. Some one called to him to look out; but, before the poor fellow understood his danger, the ball (a thirty-two-pound round shot) struck the ground, and rose in its first ricochet, caught the negro under the right jaw, and literally carried away his head, scattering blood and brains about. A soldier close by spread an overcoat over the body, and we all concluded to get out of that railroad-cut."
The President, like old King Saul, when his term was about to expire, was in a quandary concerning a further lease of the Presidential office. He consulted again the "prophetess" of Georgetown, immortalized by his patronage. She retired to an inner chamber, and, after raising and consulting more than a dozen of distinguished spirits from Hades, she returned to the reception-parlor, where the chief magistrate awaited her, and declared that General Grant would capture Richmond, and that "Honest Old Abe" would be next President. She, however, as the report goes, told him to beware of [Treasury Secretary] Chase.
Jack the Ripper taunts police, writes of murdering at least 15 girls before killing himself to "cheat the scaffold."
"I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the State… It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one part against another; foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passion. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another."
So what exactly was the symbolism of butchered and beheaded babies? You would be very, very surprised.
Booth: "I would be permitted to pass and protected by himself (Mr. Johnson) absolutely in my escape, and that on the death of President Lincoln, he (Vice-President Johnson) would become president of the United States, and that in this official capacity I could depend on him for protection and absolute pardon, if need be, for the crime of killing President Lincoln, which he had suggested to me and I had agreed to perform."
By 2013, we would find out about a great national security threat, a secret that had to be protected at all costs: every American, every Englishman, every New Zealander, every Australian and every Canadian was considered a potential terrorist and would require constant surveillance. Snowden NSA files also reveal FOX News alliance in phone hacking scandal.
Rush Limbaugh's mom discusses her new book, "Rush Limbaugh: the Case for Post-Natal Abortion." Regarding her son's legacy, she had this to say: "He is my ultimate shame. I should have swallowed. I should have bought the dog a condom. When I was pregnant with him I paid boxers to punch me in the stomach, to no avail."
Hillary Clinton of course. But who was Barry Goldwater, the man this Young Republican was supporting? "Former U.S. Senator Prescott Bush was a friend of Goldwater and supported him in the general election campaign. Bush's son, George H. W. Bush (then running for the Senate from Texas against Democrat Ralph Yarborough), was also a strong Goldwater supporter in both the nomination and general election campaigns." Wikipedia
"In the woods, where Berry had made his gallant stand opposite the fierce assaults of Jackson, and where lay by thousands the mingled dead and wounded foes, there broke out about noon a fire in the dry and inflammable underbrush. The Confederates detailed a large force, and labored bravely to extinguish the flames, equally exhibiting their humanity to suffering friend and foe; but the fire was hard to control, and many wounded perished in the flames."
"Among the excesses of Nero's reign, are to be mentioned the horrible cruelties exercised against the Christians in various parts of the empire, in which inhuman transactions the natural barbarity of the emperor was inflamed by the prejudices and interested policy of the pagan priesthood.The tyrant ... satiated his fury against them by such outrages as are unexampled in history. They were covered with the skins of wild beasts, and torn by dogs; were crucified, and set on fire, that they might serve for lights in the night-time. Nero offered his gardens for this spectacle, and exhibited the games of the Circus by this dreadful illumination. Sometimes they were covered with wax and other combustible materials, after which a sharp stake was put under their chin, to make them stand upright, and they were burnt alive, to give light to the spectators."
"It has long been a grave question whether any government not too strong for the liberties of its people can be strong enough to maintain its existence in great emergencies. On this point, the present rebellion brought our republic to a severe test, and the Presidential election, occurring in regular course during the rebellion, added not a little to the strain…. The strife of the election is but human nature practically applied to the facts in the case. What has occurred in this case must ever occur in similar cases. Human nature will not change. In any future great national trial, compared with the men of this, we shall have as weak and as strong, as silly and as wise, as bad and as good. Let us therefore study the incidents in this as philosophy to learn wisdom from and none of them as wrongs to be avenged…"
Hail, king! for so thou art: behold, where stands. The usurper's cursed head: the time is free: I see thee compass'd with thy kingdom's pearl, That speak my salutation in their minds; Whose voices I desire aloud with mine: Hail, King of Scotland!
Shortly before the end, he had a strange dream. Though he spoke of it almost with levity, it would not leave his thoughts. He dreamed he was wandering through the White House at night; all the rooms were brilliantly lighted; but they were empty. However, through that unreal solitude floated a sound of weeping. When he came to the East Room, it was explained; there was a catafalque, the pomp of a military funeral, crowds of people in tears; and a voice said to him, "The President has been assassinated."
In addition to these, about one hundred and fifty Union prisoners were examined, who testified to all manner of barbarities which had come under their personal observation. They had all seen Wirz shoot men, had seen him knock sick and crippled men down and stamp upon them, had been run down by him with hounds, etc. Their testimony occupies about two thousand pages of manuscript, and is, without doubt, the most, terrible record of crime ever laid to the account of any man.

Sophisticated Italian food in the Dubai Marina 41 Reviews
- Picture 1 of 2
The Hilton Dubai Jumeirah may not be Dubai's swankiest hotel, but it's home to a gem of an Italian. Part of the longstanding upmarket Milanese chain, Bice's classy but casual vibe, attentive service and, crucially, its food, are all top notch. Rich wooden floors, spacious tables, subdued lighting and an unobtrusive pianist make this a good choice for romantics, although the atmosphere is vibrant enough to suit lively groups. Tuck into warm foccacia and fresh tomatoes as you peruse the extensive menus (the regular standard menu features traditional safe bets including risottos, pizzas and homemade pastas and mains and there's also a monthly promotional selection).
Don't be afraid to heed the advice of the well-informed waiters. We were impressed with the king crab steak and watercress salad – a light and tasty start to our meal, as well as the oven-baked see bass with fresh spinach and porcini mushrooms, which was cooked and seasoned to utter perfection. With main courses both beautifully presented and generously proportioned, squeezing in dessert was a challenge, but we had to test out our waiter's claim that Bice's tiramisu is the best in town. Is it? We can't say (we haven't tasted them all) but our bowl, like all our plates beforehand, was scraped clean.
