I'll take lousy model work over lousy CGI anyday.
I think the point was it'd be decent CGI since they wouldn't have to worry too much about all the crap they have to go through (and it seems, mess up) with the model shots.
CGI gets such a bad rap here but it's not just a black and white "model good, CGI bad" situation.
There's good and bad of both kinds and seeing some of the poor work on this disk, (and even the good stuff making the 2ft model look downright awful, for example in the wormhole of Time Squared) I'm beginning to think they should've just CGI'd the whole lot.
Couldn't have been any WORSE, could it?

How does a hot and heavy relationship go cold so fast and how do I fix it?
I met this amazing man online 7 weeks ago. We clicked immediately, it was like we knew each other forever, he said the same. He introduced me to his... Show More

Yes - I agree with you. When a woman stops texting or emailing for a few days, I shut down, forget and move on. Never to talk with them again. I like attention. so just send a nice little text saying how are you, is everything ok.. Don't over do it. and don't send any more.
But to your question. YES after you stated you were crazy for him, everything stopped. Well its not your fault . he started it with inviting you to meet his family and telling you were the complete package. But it sounds like he got cold feet.
So what to do. Follow above, then stop. No contact in 3 days, NEVER I MEAN Never talk with him again. Apparently you don't mean that much to him that he totally ignores you.
Walk with your pride. And forget the age thing. It never meant anything to me, and some guy would be lucky to have someone like you that does not like games. The Man is a fool.
He does like attention, he said that on 2nd date. He text me today asked how I was feeling (I texted him Sat because I had to drive 2hrs to take my mother to the hosp, I ended up having really bad stomach cramps from all the stress) I texted him back telling him that I was better, saying I was going to try to hook up with a grlfrd to go to the gym for a few classes this week. I was hoping for a response about getting 2gether instead 4 hours later I get "Glad 2 hear you are feeling better"

I was trying not to think about that, but I would like him to say that rather than just disappearing. Either way I will be in for some crying, a lot- then back to the stupid dating sites trying to find someone and only finding a lot of men with part time jobs that have no ambition in life or if they do I just don't click with. A lot has taken place in the last 7 weeks, there wouldn't be enough characters to type here. Mom is doing good, she thought she broke a hip just fractured Thks for askn
Pick yourself up.. Dust off and take a deep breath. It will all work out in the end...Time heals all wounds they say.. I actually wrote a question a week or so ago that may give a bit more insight of my life experience...Its funny, when you start writing things down you can laugh at yourself...but it helps.. Get mom some ice cream and save some for yourself...
What Guys Said 2
What Girls Said 1
Sounds like whatever happened before or after the sex really freaked him out. Although, I find it strange he wanted to cut the sex altogether. If you're not about playing games, why not just ask him straight up? Say that you noticed a 180 after you slept together, and if that's all he was interested in to just let you know, or at least tell you what freaked him out.
If he doesn't give you answers or change his behavior, your friends are right, stop contacting him. Not because you're trying to play games and force him to change, but because it is no longer worth it at this point. You deserve a guy that gets closer to you after sex, not pulls back with no answers. How can he respect you if you're clearly showing no respect for yourself chasing after this emotionally unavailable man? He will make judgments about you based on how you put up with this treatment.

Titans backup QB Matt Hasselbeck mentioned that he's open to restructuring his contract if needed. "I would definitely be up for that, for sure," Hasselbeck said, per John Glennon of The Tennessean. "I'm not in those conversations, but I'm aware of them. That topic came up maybe in September, October, November (of 2012), somewhere in there." Hasselbeck, 37, has a $5.5 million base salary for the 2013 season and counts $7.5 million against the Titan's salary cap. That's a sizable contract for a backup quarterback. Last year, Hasselbeck tallied 1,367 yards passing, seven touchdowns and five interceptions in eight games for Tennessee. Jake Locker didn't exactly play as well as many believed he could have, so it makes sense for the Titans to have a decent backup option on their roster. The post Matt Hasselbeck Open To Restructuring His Contract appeared first on NFL Trade Rumors -.

Quantros Software Supports Commitment to Saving Lives and Reducing Risk
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) July 15, 2009 -- Passavant Area Hospital in Jacksonville, Ill., a 93-bed, community hospital, announced it will use the Quantros Safety and Risk Management solution (SRM), an electronic self-reporting, event tracking, monitoring and workflow management tool designed to reduce risk and support a culture of patient safety.
The hospital selected Quantros, a leading provider of safety and quality software and professional services solutions for the healthcare industry, after reviewing three vendors. The organization cited Quantros' Professional Services team, who provide clients with technical support and education, the application's user- friendly format and the reporting engine as key priorities in making the decision.
"As an organization dedicated to patient safety, we want to identify safety events in real-time and to immediately implement and monitor corrective action," said Connie Mudd, Passavant's Vice President of Quality Management.
"This helps us investigate and fix the root causes of the events," she added. "We need an easy way to enter events electronically and compile them quickly. With Quantros, we have that capability. Now the departments and quality management team can get the alert at the same time."
"Passavant Hospital's selection of Quantros SRM highlights the benefits of integrated data and workflow management and reporting, along with a team of clinical experts who support implementation and training." noted Chris Bethell, Vice President, Marketing and

Jim Belushi and Robert Sean Leonard team up
Known more for his TV and film comedies, Belushi also has plenty of stage credits, including on Broadway in "Conversations With My Father" and as the Pirate King in "The Pirates of Penzance." He has been in David Mamet's "Sexual Perversity in Chicago," Sam Shepard's "True West" and John Guare's "Moon Over Miami."
"I'm rooted in the theater. Between sophomore year in high school and senior year in college, I did 40 plays," he says. "Then I went into Second City. I'm at home on the boards."
Leonard, who started performing at the Public Theater when he was 14, is making his 12th appearance on Broadway and won a Tony Award in 2001 for "The Invention of Love." His other Broadway shows include "Long Day's Journey Into Night" with Vanessa Redgrave and "The Iceman Cometh" with Kevin Spacey.
He has wanted to be in "Born Yesterday" for about a decade, ever since he did a table reading and realized the script was better than the 1950 movie version starring Judy Holliday. "The play is so wickedly funny and so moving," he says. "This play is vital and it's beautiful and it's funny in ways you don't expect."
Belushi is even stronger with his praise for the playwright: "I've done David Mamet, who I think is close to Dylan Thomas as can be with music in his writing. Garson Kanin is the conductor. The choice of words, the pauses are as musical as Mamet," he says. "That's why I get so frustrated when I'm one word off because I know I dishonored the composer."
Both men have had to adjust to doing theater again after years of TV.
"It's hard for me to not try to do a scene and get to the result within an hour," says Belushi, laughing.
Leonard agrees: "It's so fun to do something over and over again for months," he says. "It never gets boring."
That doesn't mean there isn't pressure.
"Every night you hear those voices of people sitting down and you know there's 1,100 people out there - 980 of them have never seen this play," says Leonard. "It's my job to give it to them tonight. And Garson Kanin is laying in his grave going, `Please do the best you can.'"
"Amen," says Belushi.

This application is a continuation of application U.S. Ser. No. 10/631,872, filed Jul. 31, 2003, entitled "Ultrasonic Imaging Catheter," now U.S. Pat. No. 7,077,808, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
This invention relates to catheters appropriate for imaging, and more particularly to catheters appropriate for intravascular ultrasonographic imaging applications.
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) catheters and methods for imaging are known. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,000,185 to Yock, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated by reference, discloses devices and methods for high-resolution intravascular ultrasound imaging to assist with the administration of vascular interventional therapy and to monitor the results of such therapy. In Yock, an ultrasonic transducer is carried by the distal end of a catheter adapted for insertion into a blood vessel, whereupon either the transducer or another element, such as an ultrasound mirror, is rotated and/or translated relative to the catheter to image different portions of the vessel.
Despite advances in the art, however, there continues to be a need for a catheter apparatus that can provide longitudinal scans of a vessel surface along the axis of the vessel, and oblique scans which examine vessel regions distal of the catheter tip, without the need for an accompanying longitudinal movement of the transducer or other catheter element along vessel axis.
The above and other needs of the prior art are addressed by the present invention. According to an embodiment of the present invention, an ultrasonic imaging catheter apparatus is provided, which comprises the following: (a) a flexible elongate body adapted for insertion into a body lumen, the elongate body having distal and proximal ends; (b) an ultrasonic transducer generating and detecting ultrasonic energy disposed proximate the distal end of the elongate body; (c) a reflective member disposed proximate the ultrasonic transducer and which is optionally rotatable with respect to an axis of the body lumen, wherein the reflective member is adapted to reflect (i) ultrasonic energy generated by the ultrasonic transducer to a wall of the body lumen and (ii) ultrasonic energy reflected by the wall back to the transducer; and (d) an actuator, such as an electroactive polymer actuator, the electroactive polymer actuator being adapted to electronically control the tilt of the reflector and thus the angle of incidence of the ultrasonic energy upon the reflective member.
Where used in connection with the present invention, the electroactive polymer actuators typically comprise an electroactive polymer region, a counter-electrode region, and an electrolyte-containing region disposed between the electroactive polymer region and the counter-electrode region. Beneficial electroactive polymers for these embodiments include polyaniline, polysulfone, polyacetylene and polypyrrole.
In some embodiments, the control signals for the ultrasonic transducer and for the electroactive polymer actuator are transmitted via a shared single electrical conduction path, for example a coaxial cable. In such embodiments, it is beneficial to provide the ultrasonic transducer with a high pass filter to block passage of low-frequency/dc electroactive polymer actuator control signals, and to provide the electroactive polymer actuator with a low pass filter to block passage of high-frequency ultrasonic transducer control signals.
The entire catheter assembly, including the reflective member, transducer and electroactive polymer, are rotated in some embodiments. In these and other embodiments, the catheter apparatus can further comprise a motor and a drive shaft for translating torque from the motor, for example, through a suitable connector or rotary joint, thereby rotating the reflective member, among other elements.
Other aspects of the present invention are directed to methods of scanning the inner wall of a body lumen. These methods comprise: (a) providing a catheter apparatus like that above; (b) sweeping the ultrasonic energy from the transducer in a pattern over the interior wall of the body lumen by operating the electroactive polymer actuator to change the angle of incidence of the ultrasonic energy upon the reflective member, and by optionally rotating the reflective member; (c) receiving ultrasonic energy reflected from the interior wall of the body lumen; and (d) producing an image from the reflected ultrasonic energy. For example, the ultrasonic energy can be directed at a forward angle between about 10� to about 85� relative to the axis of the body lumen, such that a conical forward sweep is performed.
One advantage of the present invention is that catheters, systems and methods are provided for intravascular ultrasonography.
Another advantage of the present invention is that catheters for intravascular ultrasonography are provided, in which the wall of an adjacent body lumen can be axially (longitudinally) scanned, without the need for axial movement of the transducer or other element relative to the body lumen.
Another advantage of the invention is that catheters for intravascular ultrasonography are provided, which can provide for forward, lateral and retrograde scanning, without the need for axial movement of the transducer or other element relative to the body lumen.
Additional embodiments and advantages of the invention will become readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art upon review of the following detailed description in which the preferred embodiments are set forth in detail.
The present invention now will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown. This invention may, however, be embodied in different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein.
Referring now to
In the embodiment shown, an ultrasonic transducer 132, an associated ultrasonic lens 134, and a reflective member 136 are carried at the distal end of a flexible shaft of catheter apparatus 110. An electrical system (described in more detail below) is connected to the ultrasonic transducer 132 for supplying signals to and receiving signals from the transducer 132 during operation. The electrical system also supplies signals to an actuator 140, which is used to change the angle at which ultrasonic waves are incident upon the reflective member 136 during operation. The various elements of the catheter apparatus 110 are typically rotated during operation by means of mechanical torque, which is transmitted along drive shaft 114.
The ultrasonic transducer 132 can be formed, for example, using any of a number of materials that are known in the art. For instance, single crystals, which are capable of operating at a frequency range of, for example, 5 to 50 megahertz, are known in the art. Typical materials for forming such crystals include barium titanate or cinnabar. Conductive electrodes, for example, films of gold or other conductive metals, may be provided on opposing surfaces of the crystal. If desired, oscillations from the backside of the crystal can be damped as is known in the art, for example, through the use of a suitable backing material. Of course, other materials are known besides piezoelectric crystal oscillators for the formation of ultrasonic transducers. For example, organic materials such as polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) and vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene copolymers are known, which may also be used to form the ultrasonic transducer.
The ultrasonic transducer is also provided with an ultrasonic lens 134, as is known in the art. In the embodiment illustrated in
A reflective member 136 is also disposed in the catheter apparatus 110. The reflective member 136 can be, for example, an ultrasonographic mirror made, for example, from metal such as stainless steel or a hard polymer such as polycarbonate with high reflectivity at ultrasound frequencies, as is known in the art. Reflective member 136 is disposed within the catheter apparatus 110 such that the energy generated by the transducer 132 is reflected into the tissue of an adjacent body lumen (not shown). Some of this energy will rebound from the lumen tissue, to be again reflected by the reflective member 136 back to the transducer 132.
More particularly, in the configuration illustrated in
In the embodiment illustrated in
As illustrated in
In this connection, a motor drive (not shown) is provided in this embodiment for rotating the drive shaft 114, although manual rotation may also be employed. By rotating the drive shaft, the transducer signal can be swept in a desired pattern, providing, for example, a 360� conical scan of the body lumen. As schematically illustrated in
The housing 116 in the embodiment of
It is frequently beneficial to provide the catheter apparatus 110 illustrated in
A coaxial cable is provided within the drive shaft 114 in the embodiment of
In accordance with the embodiment illustrated, the coaxial conductors 122, 124 carry at least two groups of signals. Members of the first group of signals are high frequency signals, which are transmitted to and from the ultrasonic transducer 132. Members of the second group of signals are low frequency or dc signals, which are transmitted to the actuator. In this embodiment, it is beneficial to provide a high pass filter, e.g., a simple capacitor blocking 123, to isolate the transducer 132 from the low frequency actuator signals. It may also be beneficial to utilize a low pass filter, e.g., a simple inductor (not shown), to isolate the actuator 140 from the high frequency transducer signals.
The actuators used in connection with the endoscopes of the present invention are typically electrically controlled actuators (as used herein, "electrically controlled actuators" include those actuators that are activated by photons) such as piezoelectric activators, shape memory activators and/or electroactive polymer actuators, with actuators based on electroactive polymers being preferred.
Members of the family of plastics referred to as "conducting polymers," electroactive polymers are polymers characterized by their ability to change shape in response to electrical stimulation. They commonly feature a conjugated backbone and have the ability to increase electrical conductivity under oxidation or reduction.
Some common electroactive polymers are polyaniline, polysulfone, polypyrrole and polyacetylene. Polypyrrole is pictured below:
These materials are typically semi-conductors in their pure form. However, upon oxidation or reduction of the polymer, conductivity is increased. The oxidation or reduction leads to a charge imbalance that, in turn, results in a flow of ions into the material in order to balance charge. These ions, or dopants, enter the polymer from an ionically conductive electrolyte medium associated with the electroactive polymer or are redistributed within the polymer. The electrolyte may be, for example, in the form of a gel, a solid, or a liquid. If ions are already present in the polymer when it is oxidized or reduced, they may exit the polymer.
It is well known that dimensional changes may be effectuated in certain conducting polymers by the mass transfer of ions into or out of the polymer. For example, in some conducting polymers, expansion is due to ion insertion between chains, whereas in others inter-chain repulsion is the dominant effect. Regardless of the mechanism, the mass transfer of ions into and out of the material leads to an expansion or contraction of the polymer.
Currently, linear and volumetric dimensional changes on the order of 25% are possible. The stress arising from the dimensional change can be on the order of 3 MPa, far exceeding that exerted by smooth muscle cells, allowing substantial forces to be exerted by actuators having very small cross-sections. These characteristics are ideal for construction of the devices of the present invention.
Referring now to
Many geometries are available for the relative disposition of member 12 and electrolyte 14. In accordance with some embodiments of the invention, member 12 may be a film, a group of films, a fiber, a group of fibers, or a combination of the same disposed so as to act collectively to apply a force in a longitudinal direction substantially along axis 11 in this instance.
Active member 12 includes an electroactive polymer. Many electroactive polymers having desirable properties are known to persons of ordinary skill in the art. In accordance with some embodiments of the invention, active member 12 can be a polypyrrole film. Such a polypyrrole film may be synthesized, for example, by electrodeposition according to the method described by M. Yamaura et al., "Enhancement of Electrical Conductivity of Polypyrrole Film by Stretching: Counter-ion Effect," Synthetic Metals, vol. 36, pp. 209-224 (1988), which is incorporated herein by reference. In addition to polypyrrole, any conducting polymer that exhibits contractile or expansile properties may be used within the scope of the invention. Polyaniline, polysulfone, polyacetylene are examples.
Electrolyte 14 may be, for example, a liquid, a gel, or a solid, so long as ion movement is allowed. Moreover, where the electrolyte 14 is a solid, it will typically move with the active member 12 and will typically not be subject to delamination. Where the electrolyte 14 is a gel, it may be, for example, an agar or polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) gel containing a salt dopant. Where the electrolyte is a liquid, it may be, for example, a phosphate buffer solution, KCl, NaCl and so forth. The electrolyte may be non-toxic in the event that a leak inadvertently occurs in vivo.
Counter electrode 18 is in electrical contact with electrolyte 14 in order to provide a return path for charge to a source 20 of potential difference between member 12 and electrolyte 14. Counter electrode 18 may be any suitable electrical conductor, for example, another conducting polymer, a conducting polymer gel, or a metal such as gold or platinum, which can be, for example, in wire or film form and can be applied, for example, by electroplating, chemical deposition, or printing. In order to activate actuator 10, a current is passed between active member 12 and counter electrode 18, inducing contraction or expansion of member 12. Additionally, the actuator may have a flexible skin for separating the electrolyte from an ambient environment.
The actuator can be provided in an essentially infinite array of configurations as desired, including planar actuator configurations (e.g., with planar active members and counter-electrodes), cylindrical actuator configurations (e.g., see the actuator illustrated in
Additional information regarding the construction of actuators, their design considerations, and the materials and components that may be employed therein, can be found, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 6,249,076, assigned to Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and in Proceedings of the SPIE, Vol. 4329 (2001) entitled "Smart Structures and Materials 2001: Electroactive Polymer and Actuator Devices (see, in particular, Madden et al, "Polypyrrole actuators: modeling and performance," at pp. 72-83), both of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
One or more actuators 140 can be used to change the deflection angle associated with the reflective member 136. Moreover, these actuators 140 can be associated with the reflective member 136 in a wide range of configurations. For example, in the embodiment illustrated in
However, myriad other designs are also possible. For example, an actuator having substantial tensile strength, but negligible column strength, can be placed in tension with a reflective member that is in mechanical communication with a spring element. For example, referring again to the catheter apparatus of
As another example,
As another example, electroactive polymer actuators are known in which an electroactive polymer is laminated between conductive layers to produce a bending-type actuation, with the degree of bending being dependent upon on the applied voltage. Such an actuator 140 is illustrated in
In many embodiments, the inclination angle of the reflective member is inferred, for example, from the intrinsic position-dependent electrical properties of the electroactive polymer actuator. However, one or more strain gauges may also be employed to provide electronic feedback regarding the inclination angle of the reflective member. This electronic feedback will also provide a number of additional advantages, including greater stability, error correction, and immunity from drift. Strain gauges suitable for use in the present invention include (a) feedback electroactive polymer elements whose impedance or resistance varies as a function of the amount of strain in the device, (b) linear displacement transducers (e.g., an iron slug slidably positioned in the core of a coil) and (c) conventional strain gauges in which the resistance of the device varies as a function of the amount of strain in the device, thus allowing the amount of strain to be readily quantified and monitored. Such strain gauges are commercially available from a number of different sources, including National Instruments Co., Austin, Tex., and include piezoresistive strain gauges (for which resistance varies nonlinearly with strain) and bonded metallic strain gauges (for which resistance typically varies linearly with strain).
Timing and control circuitry is also typically provided in connection with the above described catheter apparatus to control, for example, the operation of the ultrasonic transducer, the actuator, and the motor drive. A display is also typically provided, which is operated under the control of the timing and control circuitry for displaying image information.
In this connection, a schematic block diagram is presented in
Motor 99 is driven by and is under the control of electronic circuitry forming a part of electrical system 101. Such a system 101 includes a timing and control block 102, which supplies pulses to a transmitter 103. The output of the transmitter 103 is supplied through a transmit/receive switch 104 which supplies the signals through the conductors 73 and 74, through the slip rings 62 and 63, through the inner and outer conductors of the coaxial cable 32, and to the ultrasonic transducer 132 and the actuator 140 as described above. System 101 is capable of supplying high frequency energy to the ultrasonic transducer 132 and low frequency/dc energy to the actuator 140 via the transmitter 103, while at the same time driving the drive shaft 114 using motor 99, which is also under the control of the timing and control block 102. The motor 99 can be, for example, an open loop stepping motor or a closed drop servo-controlled motor that can be driven by the timing and control block 102.
As an alternative to the use of an external motor 99, it is also possible to construct catheters in accordance with the present invention, in which motor(s) are provided within the distal end of the catheter, allowing the reflective member to be rotated, for example. Also, as indicated above, the catheter can be manually rotated.
Voltage pulses for excitation of the transducer 132 commonly range, for example, from 10 to 50 volts. The transducer 132 produces ultrasonic waves which emanate therefrom, reflecting from the surface of the reflective member and into the surrounding tissue as described above. Portions of the ultrasonic sonic energy waves rebounding from the tissue are also reflected from the reflective member and back to the transducer 132, whereupon the transducer acts as a receiver, picking up ultrasonic waves and converting them into electrical signals which are supplied by the coaxial cable 32, to the slip rings 62 and 63, through the conductors 73 and 74, and through the transmit/receive switch 104 to a receiver 106. These signals are amplified and supplied to a display unit, which includes a display monitor 108 under the control of the timing and control block 102 to supply an image on the display 108.
Operation and use of the catheter apparatus and system is briefly described as follows. The catheter apparatus of the present invention is introduced into a body lumen of a patient, for example, into the femoral artery. In some embodiments, the catheter apparatus can be advanced over a guidewire as is known in the art. The progress of the catheter into the patient can be observed, for example, under x-ray fluoroscopy. The vessel wall itself can be viewed by suitable operation of system 101. This can be accomplished, for example, by operating the timing control block 102 to cause operation of the motor 99 which in turn causes rotation of the drive shaft. As a result, the transducer 132 and reflective member are allowed to scan the interior of the vessel in which the catheter is disposed, typically at a rotation rate which achieves a "real-time" scan, for example, 30 frames per second (i.e., 1800 frames, or rotations, per minute). Suitable rotation rates are thus typically in the range of 5 to 60 revolutions per second, i.e., 300 to 3600 rpm. An image of what is being scanned will appear on the screen 108 of the display device. Alternatively, the drive shaft may be manually rotated (or aimed without rotation) to provide a desired image. Generally, however, motorized rotation will provide a higher definition image. As in prior art systems, distinct cross-sectional images are successively produced as the catheter apparatus is advanced incrementally, allowing the operator to determine the length and topography of the region. In the present invention, however, a portion of the vessel length can also be longitudinally scanned by operating the actuator 140 to tilt the reflective member. As noted above, depending upon the angle of the reflective member, the scan can constitute a forward scan, a lateral scan, a rearward scan, or a combination of all three.
In addition to imaging capability, the catheters of the present invention may further include interventional capability, for example, for recanalization of occluded regions within the imaged blood vessel, as is known in the art. By recanalization is meant both the opening of total occlusions as well as the broadening of the vessel lumen in partial occlusions. Catheters combining ultrasonic imaging capability with atherectomy devices for severing of the stenotic material are described in detail in U.S. Pat. No. 5,000,185. Of course, the catheters of the present invention are not limited to use in atherectomy and can be used to perform a wide variety of other interventional techniques that are performed with vascular Catheters. Suitable interventional techniques include balloon angioplasty, cutting balloons, laser ablation angioplasty, balloon embolectomy, aspiration embolectomy, heat probe ablation, abrasion, drilling, therapeutic ultrasound, and the like. Also, the catheters may be adapted for introducing clot-dissolving drugs, such as tissue plasminogen activator, streptokinase, or urokinase, in order to reduce the stenosis, as well as anti-restenosis drugs which inhibit restenosis, such as paclitaxel.
Although various embodiments are specifically illustrated and described herein, it will be appreciated that modifications and variations of the present invention are covered by the above teachings and are within the purview of the appended claims without departing from the spirit and intended scope of the invention.

He is young. He is only a red shirt freshman. He has a lot of school in front of him. He probably doesn't know anything about New England.But he just might possess the perfect combination of skills that would catch the eye of a football genius like Bill Belichick.Can you imagine?Tom Brady starts to slow down...Bill Belichick starts to wonder when he is going to find someone with half the football intelligence and drive as his beloved HOF QB...Belichick has a breakthrough moment and decides to go against his usual conservative nature and looks for a mobile version of Tom Brady.But here are the reasons we should see Belichick jump the curve, wheel and deal, and steal himself the next Patriot franchise QB.

Roulette Presents Guy Barash's FACTS ABOUT WATER Tonight
Roulette proudly celebrates Guy Barash's debut album, Facts About Water, from Innova Recordings with
a retrospective of this intriguing composer's recent works tonight, May 21st at 8.
The pieces programmed represent highlights of Barash's past three years of activity and projects currently in progress. As with those on the album, this evening's works are drawn from many areas of Barash's œuvre, including operatic, vocal, electronic, chamber, and multimedia with each exploring his central interests of music in time and space, such as the abstract phenomena of simultaneity, synchronicity, and geometry as manifested in different contexts and idioms.
A prose poem-like passage in Nick Flynn's second memoir, The Ticking is the Bomb, provides the title for Barash's debut release. This album represents Barash's musical journey that started with them meeting one evening in a Brooklyn cafe? in the fall of 2008 and which has evolved into a fruitful collaboration.
Facts About Water was produced by internationally renowned composer and producer, Elliott Sharp and mastered by Silas Brown. The cover artwork is by Philip Blackburn.
Available at: Innova, iTunes, Amazon and more. Please visit Innova for liner notes.

Notes on the Program:
TalkBack IV for piano and computer (2010, revised 2012)
This piece is the fourth in a series of compositions for acoustic instruments and interactive computer processing. With Talkback, Barash explores new playing techniques, enhanced timbre, and other sonic features that are characteristic of the instrument by magnifying and amplifying otherwise subtle nuances of the instrument and bringing them to foreground prominence.
Blind Huber (2011) - Blind Huber, for soprano, tenor, clarinet, violin, trombone, guitar, piano, and marimba, is an audio/visual rendering of poems from Nick Flynn's eponymous collection. In his book, Flynn invites us to consider the intricate geometry of the beehive. Barash derived his structural/textural pallet for this piece from the geometry of the beehive and the sonic environment within and around it. Jared Handelsman has designed the video projections for Blind Huber. He says:
"On an autumn afternoon, worker bees methodically seal a wooden seam of their hive with propolis. After a winter storm bees lie strewn in snowdrifts, the keeper explains that bees venture out in the storm to defecate and don't make it back. During a dry spell in late spring bees gathering water from a source near their hives buzz over the water and create waves of turbulence with their wings on the surface as it reflects the sky. In late summer two swarms hang in the canopy of a maple tree. The keeper climbs the tree with a cardboard box in an attempt to capture the queens. Over a yearlong cycle of visiting the hives of a nearby beekeeper I gathered these and other images for Blind Huber. To get close to the hives without getting stung I wore two layers of clothes, leather gloves and a hat with netting and tucked my pants into my socks. Guard bees attack anything coming close to their hive resulting in remarkable close up, abstracted images of the guards attacking the camera lens."

In his recently completed string quartet, Guy Barash explores simultaneity and synchronicity as musical phenomena within the context of a psychologically disorienting microtonal environment. The world of electronic music inspired his original sound palette. By preserving sonic features idiomatic to the live, acoustic ensemble, alongside concepts appropriated from electronic composition, Barash exploits characteristics latent in, but less commonly associated with quartet writing, and leads the listener to a fresh, new sound world. The piece was commissioned by CBD Music, Inc.
TalkBack III for guitar and computer (2010, revised 2013)
Reading: Nick Flynn reads from Blind Huber, Alice Invents a Little Game and Alice Always Wins, along with new poems from his forthcoming book.
Excerpts from Alice Invents a Little Game and Alice Always Wins - opera (2013, work in progress)
In this opera based on text by Nick Flynn, four strangers meet on a New York City sidewalk during a black out. Unable to make sense of their predicament, let alone alter it, the four float aimlessly in and out of seeming reality only to find themselves even more lost when electricity comes back on. Incorporating music for traditional instruments and voices, a rock-band, and real-time digital signal processing, the work will depict the absurd in the play with a relevant sound.

Comments about Coleman StormBeam Dynamo Deluxe Lantern with Radio and Cell Phone Charger:
I love that it includes multiple cell phone chargers incase you change phones or have other people with you. My father performs in Civil War reenactments and recently caught his tent on fire because the candle lantern fell over in the night so this product definetly makes things safer and there is no need to buy batteries. I wish the light lasted for a bit longer but it's also convenient because you don't have to worry about the light staying on if you were to fall asleep.

You forgot one. Infuse some sanity into title ix interpretation. Without that there isn't too much hope.
You know, Terp, I know you're right. Last week I pointed out some schools where Title IX is not an issue, but the total number of those schools is probably 20 -25. I think that the onus is on us to start up what we can and then worry about T-IX in the courts. What you and your associates have done at Maryland is what many of us should be trying to do at programs all over the country. Keep fighting the good fight. I wish that there were more like you.
in many ways i like title IX but in many ways i do not
Is it really up to the courts ?? Once the Supreme Court ruling was handed down I thought that was that .
Anyway , I'd start by hitting up corparate America for some cash free write off money , get a rabid following -hire one coach and 3 grad asst.'s -I'd hire Mark Perry or Joe Dubuque for 75% of what they are worth and then the easy part is getting the kids - get all the guys who everyone wants to offer money to but can't -settle for a 4 star over a 5 star kid and give him a 50% ride -buy used athletic equipment ,free weights , etc . and train old style -i.e.-at IU we had to run carrying someone from our weight class on our shoulders around the track .
Va. Tech is doing a hell of a job-a good model .
BUT , UNTIL a TV contract is signed the revenue will not be there .Kinda makes me wish Teddy Roosevelt was in office -when they -the public-tried to outlaw college football-Teddy came to the rescue .
Title ix cases rarely find their way into the courts. More often is is activist groups like the WSF or NWLC who file complaints against a school. The school are then investigated by the OCR, consent decrees entered into, and often men's sports are eliminated to comply with the consent decree. We had to undergo that at Maryland just less than 20 years ago but resisted the pattern of addition by subtraction, thanks to Debbie Yow's refusal to follow that path.
But I agree that schools like Georgia Tech, that have a significantly larger percentage of males, would be good Div I target schools. As you've pointed out, many smaller schools can be attracted to add wrestling as a way to increase tuition paying enrollments.
If folks can watch bowling, tennis, nascar, and bass tourneys, they'll pay to watch amateur wrestling if the broadcasts are good. Its all about giving them a story and a personal stake in the outcome.
Yeah, good point


text: I was woken up early this morning by a consistent ringing of my phone, I must explain. I tend to go to bed generally each night between 3 to 5 am and don't start my working day till 11am (I might be up before 11 but no answering of phones until then. I don't care if you are calling me about a national emergency it is just going have to wait till at least 11 before I can help. This 11 am thing is important before you think I am waffling, because my phone kept ringing consistently and it was not 11, so I decided to answer it after about the 50th time of non stop ringing.

I remember this fragrance years ago when I was young and my mother used to wear it all the time and I loved it - always reminded me of her when I smelled it - she like me with Lady Stetson wore it for years and like Noa and Lady Stetson it wasn't available anymore in Canada - there are so many perfumes on the market and every celebrity has their own perfume but I have not liked anything but these 3 products - nothing has even come close - I am very glad I have this web site to still get these old favourites

This scent is a sentimental journey for me, as it was my signature fragrance between age 15-18. At my present glamorous-grandma-age, I prefer more complex, classic, refined fragrances (such as Chanel, Guerlain, Balenciaga). However, it is delightful to take a whiff and be instantly transported back in time to a young, carefree age! Noteworthy: the fragrance remains entirely true to what I recall. This is not the case with all scents, as some are revised, altered, 'updated', not necessarily with positive results! It's lovely to find that Wind Song remains as delightful as it was so long ago..... I am giving it to my 16 yr old granddaughter as a special personal gift - a memento from my own youth!

Comments about Prince Matchabelli Wind Song Perfume:
This was my favorite fragrance about 20 years ago. I found an empty bottle in my linen closet and found I could still smell the nice scent. I was happy to see that it was still available. My husband used to love this perfume and now that he has passed away, I love wearing my Windsong as it brings back happy memories.

YIELD: Makes 6 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 30 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 3 hours (includes chilling and freezing time)
Place milk in a medium saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Bring to a simmer, whisking often. Whisk sugar, yolks, and salt in a medium bowl until well blended, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk hot milk mixture into yolk mixture. Return to saucepan; stir over medium-low heat until custard thickens and a thermometer registers 170°F-175°F, about 5 minutes (do not boil). Strain into a medium bowl. Stir in cream. Chill custard until cold, at least 2 hours.
Stir chocolate and oil in a small sauce-pan over low heat until melted; let cool.
Process custard in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Slowly add all but 1 tsp. melted chocolate during the last 30 seconds of churning (chocolate will form small chips). Transfer to a bowl. Drizzle remaining chocolate over gelato in zigzag lines. Serve immediately.

What's so good?
By Hugh McClure | Mar 04, 2013 | Total plays: 30,923
The track is from their 2012 LP Leave it all Behind, and the original (which can be heard here) is a sugary-sweet pop song with plenty of Motown influence. King has added a complete new spin to it, reshaping the vocals of Nkechi Anele while adding plenty of the glitchy tones and beats we've come to expect from Oscar + Martin.
An interesting mix of styles has resulted in a bit of a mind-blower, just another reminder of what this talented Melbourne duo are capable of.

Caption: An image of the impact of flooding in Millshaw in south Leeds in 2005
Leeds City Council is calling on residents to have their say on how best to manage the risk of flooding across the city.
As part of the Leeds Flood Risk Management Strategy, a public consultation exercise is now underway which will guide policies and activities carried out by Leeds City Council, the Environment Agency, Yorkshire Water Services, the Canal & River Trust and the Highways Agency over the next six years.
The consultation takes the form of an online questionnaire which can be seen at www.leeds.gov.uk/floodrisk and will run until the end of October. It can also be completed at all one-stop centres and council-managed libraries in the city.
While acknowledging the major flood alleviation scheme which is proposed to reduce the chances of the River Aire causing a severe flood of the city centre, the scope of the strategy focuses instead on local flooding issues which originate from smaller watercourses, surface water, sewers due to excessive rainfall and groundwater.
The strategy is a national requirement and will provide an update to the preliminary assessment carried out in September 2011. It will be formally reviewed every six years with the next review due by April 2018.
Leeds City Council executive member for the economy and development Councillor Richard Lewis said:

Icona Vulcano Concept Car at The Shanghai Auto Show
This is one sweet looking ride whose introduction is marred by an assault on my ears. There has to be a superior genre of music to instill a feeling of the dynamic, the extreme…world-shattering. Some of the worst tunes (yes flame for my opinion) are used for some of the most amazing features and products. Yes I'm looking at you Dubstep. I'm just not a fan. It reminds me of a buddy's old garage band. They used sample things like fax machines, subway traffic, someone eating Pop Rocks and the like. Look, not all men are created equal. Not all people are beautiful and not all sounds are canorous. Sure, beauty and the melodic are in the eyes and ears of the beholder. Yet, being def, dumb and blind should be a Beholder disqualifier.
I think this is something we can all agree. The Italian-made Icona Vulcano shown at this year's Shanghai Auto Show is drop-dead gorgeous. The Icona is a benevolent attack on the senses. The doors seem confused as they open backward and the car seems overly tall for such sleek lines. It can hit 217 mph with an obscene 790 horsepower from its 3rd world war-making fossil fuel-depleting V12 engine. The body is made from light carbon fiber and custom aluminum chassis. A double wishbone suspension rounds is on deck with coil-springs throughout.

It couldn't possibly be on that Friday as that's when they are hopeful that Americans will feed at the Big Box trough, ringing up huge purchases and exceptional credit card charges.

- Bigger Fees (essentially 2x the fees compared to other cards)
- The Merchants money is held onto longer that Visa or Mastercard (in some cases 1 week)
