4. A method for measuring hemodynamic parameters related to blood flow comprising:
providing a surgically implanted expandable prosthetic conduit in the limb of a human, for receipt of blood flow therethrough;
providing the conduit with means to generate a voltage indicative of blood flow;
measuring, at a distance from the conduit and over a first period of time, a voltage caused by the blood flow so as to generate a first waveform of voltage or current versus time;

wherein the blood flow is pustile in nature and creates expansions in the surgically implanted expandable prosthetic conduit.
The present invention generally relates to a system for measuring fluid flow through a conduit. The present invention relates more specifically to measuring blood flow and most specifically to measuring blood flow through surgically implanted prosthetics.
Surgically implanted synthetic vascular prosthetics are used to replace diseased arteries and veins and to permit hemodialysis. However, the useful lifetime of such prosthetics can be limited by the formation of clots within them or by endothelial hyperplasia. Extensive clotting may constrict blood flow sufficiently to cause other medical incidents, such as loss of limb or dialysis access.
Methods currently exist for monitoring a prosthetic in order to obtain advance warning of constricted blood flow. Most commonly, the patient visits an out-patient facility and ultrasonographic measurements are performed to determine flow or the extent of clotting. It would be preferable, however, if the monitoring could be done in a physician's office or dialysis suite, using a small, affordable electronic instrument. It would also be advantageous if the examination could be done by medical support personnel, such as a nurse or technician, without the need for extensive technical training.
The invention is a system for monitoring fluid flow in an expansible conduit. To accomplish this goal, the preferred system comprises, in addition to the expansible conduit, a magnetic composition, a transponder that responds to magnetic flux from the magnetic composition by emitting a wireless signal, and a signal analyzer.
The wireless signal (also referred to simply as a "signal") is an electromagnetic signal, preferably one that is frequency-modulated. The analyzer receives and stores the digitized voltage analog of the signal, calculates the peak-to-peak amplitude and frequency profiles of a baseline and currently acquired signals, thereby providing a means of objectively characterizing fluid flow. Results of the flow analysis are displayed on an LCD display along with a graphical display of the baseline and currently acquired signals.
The invention includes a related method for monitoring fluid flow through an expansible conduit. The preferred method comprises three steps. In step one, over a first period of time, a voltage (either amplified or unamplified) caused by the flow is measured. That step generates a first waveform of voltage (or current) versus time. In a subsequent step, over a second period of time, a voltage caused by flow is again measured as a function of time, and a second waveform showing voltage versus time is generated. In a third step, the difference between the first and second waveforms, as regards their amplitudes or frequencies, is calculated.

FIG. 6 a-d. are operational flow diagrams for a preferred system.
FIG. 1-3 provide a schematic overview of the system set up to monitor blood flow through an arteriovenous or arterioarterial prosthetic 15 that is an expansible conduit located inside a limb 5. Because the limb is for 5 illustrative purposes, no attempt is made to represent an actual limb.
As shown in FIG. 1, a transponder 13 is affixed to the prosthetic 15 for purposes of detecting voltage fluctuations created by a magnetic composition 21 that coats part of the surface of the prosthetic. The transponder 13 converts the flux of magnetic composition 21 to a voltage and transmits an information signal to a remote signal analyzer 3 that is outside the limb. The signal analyzer has a control panel 73 with buttons 81 that allow the user to control the operation of the analyzer and transponder. The analyzer also contains a display panel 69. In FIG. 1, the barrier 10 between transponder 13 and analyzer 3 is the skin/peritoneum barrier 10.
The system allows a user holding the analyzer 3 to obtain information about fluid flow through the prosthetic. In most cases, the signal analyzer 3 will be used in the same room as the person with the implanted prosthetic.
FIG. 1-3 also show the positioning of the transponder 13 near the flexible conduit 15 as accomplished by a non-conductive housing 17 (preferably plastic) that comprises a base 16, two end pieces 18 connected to opposite ends of the base, and an arm 20 that connects the transponder 13 to the base 16. The prosthetic 15 fits through the openings of the two end pieces and, except for the fact that it expands or contracts as the blood pressure increases or decreases, is prevented by the end pieces from moving relative to the transponder. The prosthetic 15 may be bound to the end pieces 18 by a non-toxic chemical bonding agent. An area on the outer surface of the prosthetic is coated with a magnetic particle-epoxy composition 21.
In FIG. 2, the blood 25, shown as dashed lines, fills the conduit 15. The free ends (19, 22) of the prosthetic 15,in actual use, are grafted to the two ends of an artery or a vein (not shown) so that there is continuous pulsatile blood flow through the prosthetic.
A system level block diagram of the preferred transponder 13 is provided in FIG. 4. The transponder 13 preferably comprises the following elements identified in FIG. 4: a Hall Effect transducer 29, an amplifier 31, a low pass filter 37, a voltage-to-frequency converter 33, a signal transmitter 35, a power control circuit, and a power source 41 (for example, +/-9 V DC) to power the transponder. The power control circuit preferably comprises a signal receiver 45, a frequency decoder circuit 43 and a power conservation circuit 39.
The relationship between the components of the transducer 13 can, with reference to FIG. 4, be described as follows: the Hall Effect transducer 29 upon detecting a magnetic flux sends one voltage signal to the instrumentation amplifier 31 and another voltage signal via the low pass filter 37 to the instrumentation amplifier 31. The low pass filter transmits only slowly oscillating signals (for example, those less than 100 HZ) or nonoscillating signals to the amplifier. As a result, the amplifier 31 amplifies the difference between the two input voltages, automatically subtracting undesired constant background offset voltage. The instrumentation amplifier 31 transmits the amplified voltage signal to the voltage-to-frequency converter 33 which in turn passes a signal to the signal transmitter 35 for transmission to the signal analyzer 3. Power for the transducer comes from power source 41, and is controlled by a power conservation circuit 39 that, via a frequency decoder circuit 43 and a signal receiver 45, responds to scan and standby signals received from the signal analyzer 3. The power conservation circuit 39 responds to a scan signal, the scan mode, by powering the Hall Effect transducer, instrumentation amplifier, voltage to frequency converter, and signal transmitter and to the standby signal, the standby mode, by deactivating the Hall Effect transducer 29 and signal transmitter 35. The distance between the magnetic composition 21 and the transponder 13 is adjusted so that there is a linear relationship between that distance and the Hall Effect voltage. An acceptable distance is believed to range up to 1 mm and preferably between 0.5 and 1 mm.
Increasing pressure exerted by the blood on the wall of the conduit 15 causes a radial expansion of the conduit, a decrease in the distance from the magnetic composition 21 to a Hall Effect transducer 29 in the transponder 13, an increase in the magnetic flux seen by the transducer, and an associated increase in the resulting output voltage of that transducer. The changes in the pressure, flux, and voltage over time are wave-like in nature, and mirror the wave-like, pulsatile nature of the blood flow. The result is a displacement waveform.
As noted previously, the transponder 13 has scan and standby modes of operation. The signal analyzer 3 has three modes of operation: standby, record, and analyze. Both the record and analyze modes of the signal analyzer 3 trigger the transponder 13 to enter its scan mode and then, at an appropriate time interval, to enter its standby mode. The analyzer 3 is in standby mode at power up when the analyzer 3 is neither in the record nor analyze mode.
A system level block diagram of the signal analyzer 3 is provided in FIG. 5. The preferred signal analyzer in FIG. 5 comprises: a power source 61, a signal receiver 47, a frequency-to-voltage converter 49, an analog anti-aliasing filter 51, an analog-to-digital converter 53 (e.g. a 16-bit converter), a microprocessor 71, a signal analyzer control program 59, a data acquisition timer 73, a DSP coprocessor 57, and RAM data acquisition memory (e.g., 64K�32) 55, a voltage-to-frequency converter 63, a signal transmitter 65, a display means (such as an LCD display or a paper printer) 69, a user input command decode circuit 67, and a user control panel 73. Panel 73 includes desired controls that allow the user to instruct the signal analyzer 3 as to which mode it should enter and what type of information (examples include an actual waveform or a constriction alert) should be displayed by the display means. The ultimate design of control panel 73 will depend upon the application of the invention. The controls are generally identified as elements 81 in FIG. 1.
The interrelationship of the components of the signal analyzer 3 will be discussed with reference to FIG. 5. The signal analyzer is powered by a power source 61. From control panel 73, the user can control whether the signal analyzer is in standby mode or whether it should be in record mode or analyze mode; also whether it should display a waveform, a constriction alert or other alert, or display information on the status of the power source of the analyzer. Upon input from the user, the control panel 73 transmits a signal to the user input command decode circuit 67, which circuit sends a signal to the microprocessor 71 to initiate the requested record mode or analyze mode. A signal analyzer control program 59 in EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory) directs the microprocessor 71, in conjunction with the data acquisition timer 73, the DSP coprocessor 57, and the RAM data acquisition memory 55, to carry out the appropriate mode function (record or analyze). At appropriate times during the record and analyze modes, the microprocessor sends a signal to the voltage-to-frequency converter 63, where it is converted to a "start scan" signal for transmission by the signal transmitter 65 to the transponder 13. When the transponder completes its scan mode, it sends a signal that is received by the receiver 47 of the analyzer. The received signal is transmitted in the signal analyzer 3 to its frequency-to-voltage converter 49, then to its analog anti-aliasing filter 51, whose function is to prevent frequency components greater than the highest frequency of interest in the signal from distorting the frequency analysis performed by the signal analyzer, and then to its analog-to-digital converter 53. Alternatively, the frequency-to-voltage converter 49, the anti-aliasing filter 51, and the analog-to-digital converter 53 can be eliminated from the signal analyzer and their functions performed by the microprocessor 71.
The analog-to-digital converter 53 provides a signal for processing by the microprocessor 71, (under the direction of the analyzer control program 59) in conjunction with the data acquisition timer 73, DSP coprocessor 57, and RAM data acquisition memory 55. The signal contains information about the amplitude and frequency of the waveform acquired by the transponder during its scan mode. If the analyzer is in analyze mode, it will compare the waveform to a previous stored waveform as to amplitude and/or frequency and display a result of that comparison on the LCD display panel 69.
The signal analyzer receives from the transponder, over a period of time (for example, 1 second) that is controlled by the data acquisition timer 73 and set by the analyzer control program 59, a signal containing information about the displacement waveform acquired by the transponder. Then the data acquisition timer interrupts the control program, upon which the program causes the signal analyzer to send an "end scan" signal to the transponder, which signal places the transponder in standby mode. The signal analyzer converts the signal received from the transponder into a digitized voltage waveform, and stores the amplitude and frequency data for subsequent comparison and display. If, for example, the rate of the displacement waveform is 100 Hz, the Nyquist sampling rate is 200 Hz minimally. The peak-to-peak amplitude swing of a displacement waveform (several periods of which can be acquired in one second) is obtained by averaging over several periods in the same scan mode run to minimize physiological variances and stored for subsequent comparison.
The analyze mode of the signal analyzer combines the data acquisition feature of the record mode with a data analysis feature. In the latter, the signal analyzer compares the displacement wave forms obtained in the analyze mode and a prior record mode. If the peak-to-peak amplitudes differ by 3 dB or more, the display will display a "constriction alert" indicating that the constriction has reached a dangerous level.
In analyze mode, in addition to peak-to-peak assessment of the displacement waveform, the control program will instruct the DSP co-processor to calculate the power spectral density of the averaged displacement waveform. Frequency information provided by the power spectral density is used to further characterize the constriction as being in-flow or out-flow in nature.
The invention can also be under stood by referring to the flow diagram in FIG. 6: The user turns the analyzer on at 100 and then selects either the record mode (for a first period of time) or the analyze mode (for a second period of time) at 102. In response, the analyzer at 104 transmits a "start scan" signal to the transponder and starts the data acquisition timer that determines when the "end scan" signal will be sent. While the timer is on, the analyzer receives voltage signals from the transponder at 106 and converts those voltage signals to frequency signals at 108. The timer utilizes its anti-aliasing filter at 110 and converts the resulting analog signal to a digital signal at 112. The digital data, which represents a digital waveform, is stored at 114. The steps at 106, 108, 110, 112 and 114 continue until the data acquisition timer determines that it is time to send an "end scan" signal at 116. The analyzer transmits an end scan signal to the transponder at 116 and, depending on which mode was originally selected by the user at step 102, may select either record or analyze mode at 122. If the analyzer goes into analyze mode, it loads at 124 the waveform data obtained while in record mode during a prior first period of time and loads at 126 the waveform data obtained while it is in its present analyze mode. It then analyzes the data to determine the difference between the waveforms at 128. (Step 126 can precede step 124). The analyzer at 130 compares that difference to a "threshold" value and at 131 determines if that difference is greater than the threshold. If the difference between the waveforms is greater than the threshold, the analyzer displays a constriction alert at 132 and ends its data analysis at 134. On the other hand, if the analyzer determines at 130 that the difference in the waveforms is less than the threshold it will end its analysis at 134 without displaying a constriction alert. If the analyzer at 122 proceeds in response to a selection at 102 of record mode, it will proceed directly to step 134 from step 122 without any intervening data analysis.
Regarding the transponder, the sequence is as follows: The transponder receives a signal from the analyzer at 200 and then determines at 202 whether it was a start scan or an end scan signal. If it received a start scan signal, the transponder proceeds to activate the Hall Effect transducer, the instrumentation amplifier, the voltage to frequency converter and the signal transmitter at 204. The Hall Effect transducer receives a signal from the magnetic composition at 206, which signal is amplified at 208, converted to a frequency signal at 210, and transmitted as a frequency-modulated signal to the analyzer at 212. The transponder continues in scan mode until it receives an end scan signal at 200. In response to the detection of an end scan signal at 202, the transponder deactivates the Hall Effect transducer, the amplifier, the converter and the transmitter at 214. That results in the scan being completed at 216.
The invention can be used to measure flow through conduits of relatively small cross sectional area, for example those with diameters in the range 2.5 to 5 cm. The magnetic composition, especially if it is in the form of a paste that is spread over a portion of the outer surface of the conduit, does not appreciably alter the diameter of the conduit.
The signal transmitters (35,65) of the transponder and signal analyzer preferably send FM signals, the signals being transmitted at frequencies selected for their ability to pass through the skin barrier and not disrupt neighboring devices, such as a pacemaker. Absent consideration of pacemakers, preferred transmitted frequencies will be in a range from 165 kHz to 185 kHz.
The system components for fabrication of the circuits shown in FIG. 4 and 5 are commercially available from sources such as Honeywell, Analog Devices, and Radio Shack. In order to construct the transponder circuit of FIG. 4 with sufficiently small dimensions (e.g., within a disk-shaped housing having a diameter of about 1 cm and a thickness of about 0.5 cm) current available chip technology can be used.
The implanted prosthetic 15 can be of commercially available materials, for example, Gore-Tex or Dacron, that is coated with a magnetic composition that can be produced and applied using the following process. Commercially available small magnets are crushed into very fine particles. A nontoxic bonding agent is applied to the conduit over the area of interest. The fine magnetic particles are uniformly dispersed over the area of interest by temporarily placing a magnet inside the conduit to induce the fine magnetic particles to adopt the same magnetic field orientation. A thin bonding or sealing material of suitable flexibility is preferably over the area of interest to keep the magnetic particles from accidentally entering the body.

Ask a Garden Pro: Angel trumpet
CORPUS CHRISTI - QUESTION: I have an angel trumpet that is wilting, but it can't be too dry because of the rain we've had. What is wrong with it?
ANSWER: The problem is not lack of water, but too much water. When plant roots become waterlogged and remain submerged, then the roots can die and rot. When this happens you might see wilting because the leaves are unable to get water because the roots are not functioning.
If the plant is standing in water, make sure you cut small trenches to try to get the water to move. Taking a stick and making several holes around the root ball will allow some air into the root system faster. If oxygen gets to the roots before they die, then the plant will recover.
If the plant dies and you want to replant, fix the drainage in that area before replanting. You can also consider placing water loving plants like ginger or cannas in the boggy spot.

Adam Dunn's salary, for instance. my house. even my new hybrid that I'm hoping to still have a job for three years in order to finish the payments
in spite of deflation, Reds fans are going to get about the same team (minus Adam Dunn) for about the same money.
I can't say that's bad GMing, because I think that Cast's budget caught WJ by surprise. But it's not great GMing, either. And the Reds need a great GM.

From C-Trent's Blog:
Bob Castellini was on Bill Cunningham's show on 700 WLW this afternoon and this is what he had to say:
Cunningham: There's a story here in the Enquirer that says, "Win Now, Goes By Wayside" -- is that true?
Castellini: No. (chuckles)
Cunningham: That's what the headline says in the Enquirer
Castellini: I guess it does say that, but if you read the article it doesn't say we're not going to win this year. It's minimized. It maybe says we haven't given up on this year. And we certainly haven't given up on this year. On the other hand, we're ecstatic about what were going to put on the field this year.
Cunningham: Do you think you've done enough with additions like Willy Taveras and Ramon Hernandez and resigned Jerry Hairston, Weathers and Lincoln, is that upgrading? What happened to the leftfielder with all the power you were going to get?
Castellini: Well, there's still possibly a leftfielder, a right-handed batter out there. It's getting late. We tried to get that spot filled. In the meantime, when we signed Willy to play center field and we've got Jerry to play left field with Chris Dickerson and (Norris) Hopper if Alex comes back at shortstop. But we feel we've really sured up our center with our catcher and Taveras and whoever plays shortstop, whether it's Hairston or Alex -- that's our one big question mark.
Cunningham: One thing I like about you, which I don't like about Mike Brown, when you had a chance to go get a baseball announcer, you go get Thom Brennaman. When you had a chance to go get a manager, you got Dusty Baker. When you had a chance to go get a G.M., you got Walt Jocketty. In other words, you change. You have three G.M.s, three field managers -- I don't see that as change, as much as I see Bob Castelllini working hard and you get the right people in place. I'm thinking if you fail again this year, will we have four general managers and four field managers? Because failing is winning and losing and Bob Castellini's not had one winning season in three years.
Castellini: You're absolutely right. But weve built an organization with these people you talk about and they're here for a long, long time. We're not looking to change. We feel very, very confident for this year. The second part of that article, I probably asked for myself. I was funning with John (Fay) and I said, you know when I told you we're going to win right away and you took it out of context, what I really meant was the interpretation was wrong and maybe that's my fault too.
Cunningham: Seg-man Dennison told me you said, "We've come to a point where we're just not going to lose anymore."
Castellini: Right, we were losing with our organization. We didn't have a winning attitude, we didn't have a winning organization. We changed all that. We're on the right track. What really irritates me is people think we're writing off this year. We have an excellent team. We have a contender. Barring injuries, we're going to be in there at the end. You can quote me on that, at the end of the year if we're not in there at the end, you can play it back forever. But I really feel that way and our organization feels that way.
Cunningham: Last year the Reds finished 23-and-a-half games out of first and you had Griffey and Dunn as your marquee players. Every organization needs a star, like here, I'm a star. You need a star. Griffey and Dunn, those guys are now done. Is Dunn possibly coming back to play left field?
Castellini: I wouldnt say that.
Cunningham: How about Griffey?
Castellini: I wouldn't say that, but we've got a budding star in Joey Votto, I think he's going to break into stardom this year. We've got Jay Bruce and I think he's in the same category. And weve got the Gold Glover (Bandon Phillips) who is outstanding. And on top of that, we've got a starting rotation with four people and three very, very viable people to be the fifth starter and we've got the best bullpen in the division.
Cunningham: Are you having fun Bob Castellini?
Castellini: I'm having a lot of fun.
Cunningham: Are you sure?
Castellini: I'm just so pumped up about this team, I'm getting excited about it, Bill.
Cunningham: Are you sure?
Castellini: Yeah.
Cunningham: I'm not so sure. You took over in January 2006 and you said things like "we're going to win, we're going to win now. My wife Susie has a pillow that says, 'if Momma's not happy, nobody's happy.'" I don't think Bob Castellini is happy.
Castellini: I wouldn't say that at all. In fact, you're wrong. Articles like that, if I'm part of the problem, I apologize, but those kind of articles make the fans unhappy. In fact, the fans are pretty darn happy. The feedback we get from our fans for tickets and so forth, are very positive and the people that are cutting down on ticket purchases are still buying tickets and telling us it's the economy, it's not the direction of the Reds.
Cunningham: How many season ticket holders do you have?
Castellini: We'll find out in a couple of weeks.
Cunningham: Is it up or down from last year?
Castellini: We don't know, but it's not going to be that far off. And I'll tell you something else, Bill, our sponsorships are up.
Cunningham: Really?
Castellini: I'd say that the Reds are perceived to be going in the right direction. If the owner fouls up with an interview and sets them back, I'll have to get on the most publicized show in town and try to correct it and I appreciate you letting me come on and say a few things.
Cunningham: I have the upmost respect for you and Phil You do everything first class except the team. You do everything first-class except for what's between the white lines.
Castellini: Maybe we'll have to get rid of the owner if it doesn't work out this year.
Cunningham: Do you see yourself selling if it doesn't work out?
Castellini: Absolutely not.
Cunningham: No?
Castellini: No.
Cunningham: You're going to stay with it for the next five-to-10 years no matter what?
Castellini: You betcha.
Cunningham: And you're going to win?
Castellini: You betcha.
Cunningham: You're going to win?
Castellini: Yes sir.
Cunningham: You're going to win this year?
Castellini: We're going to win this year.
Cunningham: You are?
Castellini: We're going to have a winning record this year, Bill. And we're going to be contenders and we might well be into it at the end of the season. I told everyone in Louisville that we hope to see them up at Great American Ball Park in October.
(Here they talk about RedsFest and the Caravan -- I didnt type it up -- Castellini talks about the fans in Louisville where he was last night )
Cunningham: Bob, youre a Cincinnatian from birth, like me, and been around your whole life and I'm thinking the Bengals have stunk for 20 years, UC Bearcat basketball is in the crapper, Xavier's good but a lot of people don't care, but we are Reds country and you havent had a winning season since you've owned the club, we've only had one the entire century and we're dying and starving for a winner and I think we have the right organization, all you need is a few better players. That's all you need. I can agree with you, why do you want to spend $100 million when you're going to lose $30 or $40 million a year, you can't do that, right?
Castellini: Right. But in all seriousness, Bill, we're high on this team that were putting on the field this year.
"My mission is to be the ray of hope, the guy who stands out there on that beautiful field and owns up to his mistakes and lets people know it's never completely hopeless, no matter how bad it seems at the time. I have a platform and a message, and now I go to bed at night, sober and happy, praying I can be a good messenger." -Josh Hamilton
"If you believe it, it's not a lie."
The Rally Onion wants 150 fans before Opening Day.
I understand he has to put the best face on everything since it's his product. He's not going to come out and say, "yep, we blow...".
So it would seem the best option is to say nothing. Do no interviews. Continue going through the motions and pretending everything is dandy. Just keep quiet and act as if all is well. See you again in offseason 2009/2010 (maybe).
If you absolutely, positively must give an interview maybe focus on how wacky the market has been and how it's made team building "challenging" or something. But for God's sake don't try to sell me on this pile of warm feces you claim to be an MLB team.
I posted elsewhere on a different thread about how the Great Punt of 2009 was bad enough, but the real insult would come when the Reds try to tell me how great of a team they have, how they really put together a solid squad, how this team will be exciting. All in the face of mountains of evidence to show they've done diddly thus far.
My friends, we have just been insulted.

a super volcano of ridonkulous suckitude.
I simply don't have access to a "cares about RBI" place in my psyche. There is a "mildly curious about OBI%" alcove just before the acid filled lake guarded by robot snipers with lasers which leads to the "cares about RBI" antechamber though. - Nate

There is plenty of time between now and Opening Day to pick up that power hitting leftfielder whether it's Xavier Nady, Jermaine Dye or someone else.
I just don't understand why people are panicking when it is only January.
If you think small, you'll go nowhere in life.
"On the other hand, we're ecstatic about what we're going to put on the field this year."
"But in all seriousness, Bill, we're high on this team that we're putting on the field this year."
I wish Cunningham would have had him lock in the context of those sentences for us, so that we don't get accused of taking them out of context later.
I suspect that he will tell us later what he really meant to say was "We were high when we thought this should be the team we would put on the field this year."

text: David Stern is stepping down as commissioner on Feb. 1, 2014, which will mark exactly 30 years sitting on the NBA's throne. So within the next year or so, he's got a lot of things to do before he passes the big chair to Adam Silver. One of those things is possibly setting plans in motion to return the NBA to Seattle, something he's reportedly "determined" to do. Another expansion idea Stern has? Taking the NBA to Europe. Though it's not something he'll likely be involved with. On SVP & Russillo, Stern acted as if it's a certainty the NBA will have a European team.

Originally written on Hall of Very Good | Last updated 2/27/13
Alright, I'm not even sure where to begin with this one, so I'll just throw it out there.Three-time All-Star Russell Martin left Team Canada earlier this week because, well, they wouldn't let him, a catcher by trade, suit up and play shortstop.Now, I'm not sure why I didn't see this story until today, but let me get this straight...Russell Martin, newly acquired catcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates is leaving Team Canada because they won't let him play shortstop?Ridiculous.''It's a pretty simple reason,'' Martin said Sunday. ''The Pittsburgh Pirate organization wasn't comfortable (with) me going to play shortstop over there. I don't think the Team Canada organization was too comfortable with me going to play shortstop.''For the record, Martin was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 17th round of the 2002 draft as, wait for it, a second baseman. That said, he never played an inning at the position in the Minors. In the Majors, he's played second for two innings in 2011.Which brings us back to shortstop.Martin, a Gold Glove Award winning catcher in 2007 has played 98% of his games in bigs behind the plate and outside of those two innings at second two seasons ago, the only other position he's played...third base.So, why shortstop? Your guess is as good as mine.

'Amazing Race' Gets Fresh Start
Starting next week, "The Amazing Race" will air at 8 p.m. ET Wednesdays, a switch from its previous spot at 10 p.m. Tuesdays. The ninth edition of the Emmy-winning series has been averaging fewer than 10 million viewers since its Feb. 28 premiere, its lowest figures since the third "Race" in summer 2003.
The switch puts it into a fairly wide-open timeslot where no show has been dominant in recent weeks.
It also puts the family-friendly show in a timeslot where more kids are likely to be watching with their parents.
The move of "The Amazing Race" bumps the comedies "Out of Practice" and "Courting Alex" off the schedule;
"Out of Practice," which drew 12.2 million viewers per week in the fall, when it was sandwiched between

But that was then...and now Jillian wasn't going to leave Luke's ranch refuge until she got her man. And there was nothing Luke could do to stop himself from losing his heart to her....

A tad runny for my liking!
Posted by 4973174122047921847 on Apr 10, 2014
It's very easily spreadable....which is not always a good thing. I found this peanut butter too "runny" and it does spill over in a sandwich. I will probably use another brand of smooth peanut butter and top that with chia seeds instead!

Health Lottery Quick Pick
The Health Lottery Quick Pick draw began on Friday 23rd January 2015 and is played on Tuesdays and Fridays every week, offering a top prize of £25,000 for each player that matches all five numbers. The draws are broadcast on Channel 5. For information on the main Health Lottery game, visit the dedicated page.
Health Lottery Quick Pick Results
To view past results visit the Health Lottery Quick Pick results page.
How to Play Health Lottery Quick Pick
Tickets cost 50p and can be bought now through the Lottery Tickets page or from authorised Health Lottery retailers throughout the UK. Every 50p Quick Pick player is issued with an automatically generated selection of five numbers between 1 and 50 for each entry. They cannot choose their own numbers as is possible when taking part in the main Health Lottery game.
How to Win Health Lottery Quick Pick
Prizes are won on 50p Quick Pick for matching anything from two numbers upwards and players have a 1 in 14 chance of claiming a prize with each ticket. The jackpot of £25,000 is won by matching all five numbers, and everyone who achieves this feat will receive the advertised amount as long as all of the cash awards do not total more than £1 million.
Here are the prize tiers along with the fixed amounts awarded for matching the specified number of balls:
|Prize Tier
|Prize Amount
|Odds of Winning
|Match 5
|1 in 2,118,760
|Match 4
|1 in 9,417
|Match 3
|1 in 214
|Match 2
|1 in 15
How to Claim a Health Lottery Quick Pick Prize
Methods of claiming a 50p Quick Pick prize differ depending on where the ticket was bought.
For online tickets:
- Match 2, 3 and 4 prizes - You do not need to formally claim your prize; it will be instantly paid into your Health Lottery account and can be used for further games or can be transferred to your bank account.
- Jackpot -If you are a winner of the £25,000 prize, then you will need to ring the Health Lottery Helpline on 0844 375 55 55 and talk to the claims team, who will guide you through the process.
For physical tickets:
- Match 2 and 3 prizes -You can visit any authorised Health Lottery retailer to pick up these prizes.
- Match 4 prizes -The Match 4 prize of £100 can be claimed at participating Post Offices.
- Jackpot -For the £25,000 jackpot prize, you will have to make contact with the Health Lottery claims team on 0844 375 55 55 who will arrange collection of your winnings for you.
Health Lottery Good Causes
The Health Lottery isn't a national lottery, but rather a collection of 51 society lotteries from across the UK who take it in turns to participate in each draw and distribute the funds to their local area. At least 20% of the price of each Health Lottery ticket purchased either for the main game or 50p Quick Pick is donated to these good causes.
A total of more than £60 million has been raised for health related causes within Britain thanks to the Health Lottery and 1,500 community initiatives across the country have supported 265,000 people as a result of money raised through the games.

Specs and Tester's Tester Comments
Working in concrete and masonry can be fun?at least in theory. Knocking down a brick or block wall, drilling anchor holes in concrete, and even hogging off ceramic tile can be an adrenaline-rich, physical diversion from the office and clients. But anyone who's spent much time drilling or chipping with a big old chipping or rotary hammer knows that any novelty wears off in a hurry?it's dirty, hard work, and the faster it's over, the better.
Chipping hammers can rattle your teeth and underpowered rotary hammers waste time. And anyone who's bought two tools for chipping or drilling knows that there never was any novelty?this equipment ain't cheap. Besides, if you end up with underpowered, undersized tools you'll get exhausting vibration while productivity drops like a stone. I know because I've been there. There's not a single project my company does that won't require drilling or chipping these materials.
Whether it's chipping a high spot in a slab, drilling a thousand anchor holes, peeling tile, punching through a masonry wall, or chipping through a foundation, the tools we rely on have to be tough; 3,500-psi re-bar-embedded concrete or super-hardened 100-year-old concrete doesn't give in easily. They also have to be mobile enough to move into position when drilling horizontally or even overhead. Since most rotary hammers don't chip and since most chipping guns don't drill?and we need both functions?we use combination hammers. They save time, money, and even space in the gang box.
We tested seven combination rotary/chipping hammers weighing 13 pounds to 18 pounds and rated to drill a 1-1/2-inch hole in solid concrete. We looked at straight-down drilling and chipping power, maneuverability, switch design and placement, and features that make operating these tools easier. We tested the Bosch 11241EVS, DeWalt D25600K, Hilti TE 76-ATC, Hitachi DH40MB, the Makita HR4000C, Metabo BHE6045S, and Milwaukee 5315-21 by drilling in concrete as well as chipping in concrete, masonry, and ceramic tile.
If a rotary hammer lacks power it'll sit in the gang box or it won't last on my jobs, so my crew and I checked power first. We equipped each tool with a new 1-1/4-inch drill bit and drilled holes 2 inches deep into concrete blocks and granite.
For straight-down (vertical) drilling, the Hilti TE 76-ATC edged out the rest of the group. At 17.4 pounds, it's a heavyweight and its mass helps. The heavier the tool, the more it counteracts the percussion inside the tool, making it almost comfortable use. We really like this because straight-down drilling is the lion's share of our work. The 18.3-pound Metabo also performed well. It has a little less power than the Hilti and a little more vibration, but it chews up concrete in a hurry.
The rest of the field (weighing from 13.6 pounds to 14.2 pounds) all performed nicely, too. They lack some of the pure power of the heavier Metabo and Hilti tools, making them slower drillers, but are still well up to the task. The DeWalt comes in next. It's a light tool, but surprisingly powerful and quick. The pack finished out with Hitachi, Bosch, Milwaukee, and Makita.

Black screen after Fedora Core 2 Test 3
Kind helpers,
I just upgraded to Fedora Core 2, Test 3 and then tried the nVidia
installer using the --add-this-kernel, followed by *custom.run.
Everything seemed to run to completion without error.
But when I booted up to run level 5 (graphic mode), as soon
as the optical mouse light lit, normally the time when I get the
nVidia splash screen alerting the successful starting of X and the gdm,
all I get is a black screen. The computer is hung at this point.
Ctl-Alt-Backspace will not yield a text login prompt. Only a
hardware reset will unfreeze the CPU.
Looking in my /var/log/Xorg0.log tells me that:
Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module.
Any Fedora users having made it successfully to Test 3, just released,
please advise what I may have overlooked.
All help appreciated.
Doug :retard:
P.S. Please carbon copy my e-mail address firstname.lastname@example.com
Re: Black screen after Fedora Core 2 Test 3
(boot to command prompt)
modprobe nvidia
Re: Black screen after Fedora Core 2 Test 3
nvidia driver is not working with Fedora 2.6 Kernel, you have to recompile and remove de 4K_Stacks option..
Here is a discussion about it...
Re: Black screen after Fedora Core 2 Test 3
Having read the above thread to the best of my ability :retard:
I conclude that it is presently impossible to continue trying to use
Fedora >as it is released< with my nVidia graphics board.
Why won't, or better yet, when will the folks at nVidia step in and
provide a corrected driver which will keep up with the kernel
Again, as I read it, it is not an issue of any one specific vendor's
distribution (i.e. Fedora vs. Mandrake vs. Suse, etc.) but rather
the Linux kernel development which is seeking to optomize the
use of stacks to improve threading capability. It seems to me
that this is something inevitable which nVidia will be forced to
deal with if it wishes to continue to support Linux at all.
It cannot resonably expect the Linux community to freeze its
Linux kernel revision just to maintain hardware compatibility with
its graphic cards. That just is not an option. Linux will move on,
and so must driver development move on and keep pace.
So if there are nVidia company reps monitoring these posts,
please give us the next revision of the driver which will accomodate
the later Linux kernels with all possible dispatch.
Re: Black screen after Fedora Core 2 Test 3
nvidia does not support testing/beta operating systems. Also this is a kernel feature that is not enabled by default in other distros. Once Fedora Core 2 Final is released im sure that nvidia will have a driver release follow shortly there after. While it is not convienant for testers this is a test release for a reason. The Fedora Devel team says that things will be broken and this is not for normal use. In this case the nvidia driver is broken on their custom kernel. I recomend you download the latest source from www.kernel.org and just make a new kernel and you will have a nice running system.
Re: Black screen after Fedora Core 2 Test 3
Re: Black screen after Fedora Core 2 Test 3
I will say this hoping that someone at nvidia sees the light: nvidia should make a statement about whether we will have a new driver soon, this would ease the minds of many people. They don't have to give a date, just reassure people that the driver is going forward with this. The powers-that-be at nvidia don't seem to realize the damage that keeping their customers (or more importantly, potential customers that can be thrown at ATI because of an uncertainty feeling) in the dark does to them! :bash:
Re: Black screen after Fedora Core 2 Test 3
about 2 weeks ago i read a posting where someone was talking about how they saw a presentation about the 6x.xx series of drivers coming out for linux. This post also said that around the end of may they might be released. This sounds about right as nvidia is going to have the Geforce 6800's out for the masses around then too. So i would guess another month.

text: I have a '96 Trek 520 purchased used. 46-36-26 triple in front and 12-28 7 speed cassette. Front derailleur is Shimano Sora and rear is Shimano RSX. 25 gear inches is my lowest and I would like to go to 22 gear inches. What's your opinion on the most desireable way to get to 22 inches?
