Niche store e-retailer consolidates backyard offerings.
For the first time, niche store web retailer Hayneedle Inc. has consolidated its outdoor furniture, accessories and décor in a single web location. Hayneedle.com/backyard is part of a new brand awareness campaign labeled Hayneedle.com Backyard Summer. The campaign, which runs throughout the summer, includes promotions on radio and television as well as online contests.
"Outdoor is one of our strongest categories and where our value proposition of variety in depth and breadth of products really shines," says Ash ElDifrawi, chief marketing officer of Hayneedle, No. 69 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide. "As a business, we've made strategic investments in our customer experience including customer service, product quality, our site, technology infrastructure and distribution. Now, it's time to introduce customers to our brand."
The strategy to improve brand awareness aims to also increase repeat buyers and reduce costs through paid acquisition channels such as search engine marketing, he notes.
Since launching the campaign May 17, Hayneedle, which operates 220 online stores, has started seeing results from radio contests and giveaways that it has conducted in eight markets, including Chicago, New York and Los Angeles, through the CBS RIOT network.
"In markets where we've advertised on the radio, we're seeing a double-digit lift in visitor sessions," says ElDifrawi, who declined to release any specific sales information. "We're also seeing our brand recall numbers go up by double-digits as well. Before when people bought from us, they didn't realize that they were buying from Hayneedle, but rather from a stand-alone niche site like Hammocks.com."
On Facebook, the company has launched the Hayneedle Hustle contest. Shoppers can enter to win a $15,000 gift certificate by uploading video of themselves dancing with a picture of a product that they purchased on Hayneedle. The company also gave away a $15,000 gift certificate as part of a segment on The Ellen DeGeneres Show where five contestants had to play blindfolded musical chairs to vie for the gift certificate. The runners-up received $500 gift certificates and the show's audience members each received $100 Hayneedle gift certificates.
The company also enlisted Eduardo Xol, a designer on ABC-TV network's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition show, as a celebrity designer. As part of the campaign, Xol has been tweeting on Twitter and posting comments on Facebook with outdoor design ideas and special product discounts. He has also been featured on videos posted on YouTube.

Long reserved for specialized applications such as icebreakers, diesel electric has enjoyed a rapid growth for marine propulsion in the past decade. Throughout that period, Cummins Marine has been a leader, supplying more than 900 diesel electric packages since delivering its first genset 2003.
Early adopters of this flexible propulsion technology included the US firm Rigdon Marine with twenty vessels and France-based Bourbon Offshore with over 100 vessels.
In late 2011 Aries Marine built two STX-designed Tiger Shark Class PSVs. After nine months operating in Mexico, one of their vessel engineers, Darrell Bickham, enthused over the performance. "We only put enough engines on line as we need for the job. We can stand by the rig outside the 500-meter zone on one of our four Cummins QSK60-powered generators. Traveling we can make 10 knots with only two operating at 50 to 60 percent of their rated power."
Captain Philip Munsch added, "If we get into weather we can bring on three or even four engines as required. But they are always running at a steady 1,800 RPM with no revving up and down so crew comfort and safety is improved because of the reduced fatigue."
The fuel economy made possible by using only the number of engines required to do the job at hand is pleasing to both owners and charterers. The flexibility in engine placement afforded by the absence of a long drive shaft between the generators and propulsion motors allows for engine placement on the main deck resulting in increased cargo capacity in the vessel's hull.
There is virtually no downtime as engine servicing can be done with one or more engines off line. Modern electronic systems have made diesel electric generator sets reliable and easily managed. It is, then, little wonder that this form of powering the modern offshore fleet is gaining even more followers.
Brazil's Bravante Group recently (February 28, 2014) took delivery of the M/V Bravante VI, their second in a five vessel series of diesel-electric PSVs, from Florida's Eastern Shipbuilding. The Bravante V delivered in 2013 is already on charter in Brazilian waters.
Designed by STX and designated the STX SV290 design the 86.5-meter (284-foot) by 18.3-meter (60-foot) by 7.5-meter (24-foot) vessels are built around four Cummins-powered generators. Each 16-cylinder Cummins QSK60-DM engine rated for 1825 kW at 1800 RPM powers a Marathon Model 744 690VAC generator also supplied by Cummins.
A pair of 690VAC electric motors each turning nozzled fixed-pitch propellers on Schottel Combi-Drives provides main propulsion. These two propulsion motors are each rated at 2,500 kW at 750 RPM to give a total of 6700 HP. Two Schottel 1180 kW tunnel thrusters with direct coupled electric drives also draw their power from the four main Cummins QSK60-powered generators. The flexibility of the diesel electric system in providing power to both ends of the vessel as well as to a wide array of cargo pumps and general ship requirements continues to attract owners' attention and orders.

PORTABLE TENT APPARATUS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention is directed to portable tent apparatus and particularly a tent with associated poles which are conveniently stored in a canister for transportation.
2. Description of the Prior Art Tents are well known, and most tents employ poles as means for support. Various pole interrelationships and joining structures have been'employed in the prior art tents, and many different configurations are available. There is a wide background in the field of tents, because tents have extended in size from one-man structures to those capable'of housing large performances and.large audiences. However, the tent apparatus of the present invention and mostof the priorart are directed to a tent structure of moderate or family size which can be readily erected by one man. Most of the prior art structures are directed merely to tent configuration and the configuration of the poles to hold the tents in the erected position. Additionally, there are some teachings directed to the storage of tents and poles, but these teachings are primarily directed to the storage of the tent fabrics and, in a few cases, to the rolling up of the tent fabric, while little effort has been directed toward the compatible storage of poles. The prior art has approached the tent storage problem as being directed to the two separate aspects of tent fabric storage and pole storage. This is a natural division, because the characters of the materials of these two major tent parts are such as to suggest different approaches to them. Accordingly, different storage means have generally been used for them. Further effortshave been made to provide various types of canopies attached to vehicles, but without practical attention to the desirability of utilization of the tent separately from the vehicle.
SUMMARY or THE INVENTION In order to aid in the understanding of this invention, it can be stated in essentially summary form that it is directed to portable tent apparatus comprising tent fabric, tent poles and a canister. The tent fabric is permanently attached toa roller permanently mounted within the canister whereby the tent fabric is wound upon the roller for storage in the canister and is unwound therefrom for setting up-the tent. The polesare collapsible for storage within the canister and rapidly extendable for setting up the tent. The poles and canister combine to form a unitary structure for support of the tent fabric. The canister is horizontally extendable from the poles for mounting attachment of the canister upon an external structure, such as a vehicle, to provide a tent fabric canopy in interconnecting covering relationship between the erected tent and the vehicle. Height adjustment means are provided for varying the vertical displacement of the canister relative to the erected tent poles to accommodate variations in vehicle height or other location attachment of the canister to the vehicle or other external structure. The canister, with the poles and fabric stored therein,'may be transported in attached relationship to the vehicle, and tent erection may be accomplished without removal of the canister from the vehicle.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide a tent structure including tent fabric and poles which can be stored in a canister and transported thereby and which can be erected in conjunction with the canister to provide anerected tent. It is a further object to provide a vehicle-mountable canister with height adjustment means so that variations in canister height from the ground, when vehicle-mounted, can be overcome by adjustment so that a fixed-height tent can be erected in proper condition with respect to the ground. It is another object to provide a tent fabric and tent poles, which structures can be stored in a canister, and which can be quickly and readily deployed from and attached to the canister in order to quickly provide a usable tent structure; It
is a further object to provide a tent structure which can be mounted upon the roof of a small car, so that users of small cars can be equipped with a tent which is too large to be disposed in the luggage space of such a small car. It is a further object to provide a tent structure, including tent fabric and frame, wherein the frame is sturdy when erected and the fabric is secured thereto so that a tent' havingadequate wind strength is provided. It is a further object of this invention to provide a single portable tent apparatus which is effectively unitary in nature and, without modification, can be either manually or vehicularly transported, can be erected either separately or while attached to a vehicle, and can be either attached to or separated from a vehicle aftererection.
Still other objects, features and attendant advantages of the present invention, together with various modifications, will become apparent to those skilled in the art from a reading of the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment constructed in accordance therewith, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein like numerals designate like parts in the several figures.

FIG. 9 is a fragmentary horizontal section through one of the pole legs and a portion of the adjacent tent fabric showing the manner in which the tent fabric is secured to the several pole legs.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring to the drawings, a preferred embodiment of the tent apparatus in accordance with this invention is indicated generally at 10 and is seen to comprise poles l2, fabric 14 and canister 16. Both the poles and fabric are storable within canister 16. Canister 16 is mountable upon a vehicle 18, preferably as part of a cartop carrier 20. Any convenient mounting means, not shown, can be employed for canister mounting. However, the canister is preferably securely and detachably mounted so that the vehicle may be employed either with or without the canister thereon or, conversely, the tent apparatus 10 may be employed without the vehicle. The canister maybe a permanent or detachable part of the cartop carrier 20 which has asufficient storage volume to store other goods. The canister 16' may be mounted at the rear of the vehicle roof, as with the station wagon illustrated, or along either right or left roof edges above a vehicle door.
As is seen in FIGS. 1, 2 and 5, the-canister 16 is a housing having an open side to permit access to the hollow interior of the canister, and a' hinged cover 22 which is swingable to cover the open side for manual or cartop transport of the tent. In the open position of cover 22, shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 5, the stored portions of the tent can be withdrawn from the canister.
Both the structure of tent l and its manner of erection can be understood best by a description of the manner in which the parts are removed from the canister and the manner in which they are related to the canister and to each other. Accordingly, the following part of this description will be directed principally toward the manner of erection of the tent. Upon opening of cover 22, pole restraining bar 24 is seen to be engaged interiorly of the canister housing to retain the poles and tent fabric in place. Pole restraining bar 24 is pivoted at 26 so that it can be swung aside.
Sockets 28 are secured to the right-hand end wall 30 of canister 16. Similar sockets 32 (see FIG. 2) are provided on the left-hand end wall. After opening cover 22, left and right height adjustment bars 34 and 36, respectively, are secured to the sockets 32 and 28. Each of the height adjustment bars have pins 38 which are insertable into the sockets to be detachably retained therein. Preferably, spring loaded lock pin 40 engages through a cross hole in one of the sockets, and is engageable into a cross lock hole in the pin 38 to retain the pin therein. Accordingly, both height adjustment bars 34 and 36 are detachably secured in place.
Left and right eave pole sockets 42 and 44 are mounted upon height adjustment bars 34 and 36. The eave pole sockets are clamped upon the height adjustment bars, as by thumb nut 46 upon an appropriate clamp bolt, so that the pole sockets can be moved up and down the height adjustment bars, or vice versa, to a selected position and can be clamped there. When apparatus assembly is completed, the desired position of the eave pole sockets will correspond to the eave pole height from the ground. The open sides of the sockets are facing away from the canister, ready to accept eave poles.
1 Three-pole assembly 48 is removed from the canister. Three-pole assembly 48 includes left side eave pole 50 which has a telescopic inner member 52 therein. The free end of telescopic inner member 52 is inserted into left eave pole socket 42, and is preferably retained therein by means of an appropriate spring-loaded pin 54 which extends through the socket and engages in an appropriate hole in the telescopic inner member 52.
Left outer leg 56 is pivotally supported upon a pivot bracket, later described, secured on the end of left side eave pole 50. Left outer leg 56 is swung down from a position parallel to pole 52in angularly outward extending position where it acts as a leg pole for the finished tent. Brace 58 is doublepivoted at its center, and is pivotally mounted at its respective ends to cave pole 50 and leg 56 so that, when the leg 56 is swung to the desired position, the brace is substantially straight, as is illustrated in FIG. 3. When the leg 56 is swung into position, its lower end is telescopically extended down for ground engagement, as is illustrated in FIG. 1. Next, left inner leg 60 is swung down until its brace 62, pivoted at both ends and at center, is straight. The telescoping portion of leg 60 is moved down for ground engagement.
Next, four-pole assembly 64 is removed from the canister. Four-pole assembly 64 comprises right side eave pole 66 to which are pivoted legs 68 and 70. The free end of telescoping inner member 72 extends from pole 66 and is inserted into and locked into right eave pole socket 44. Next, the legs 68 and 70 are swung down until braces 74 and 76 are pivoted out to the straight position shown in FIG. 3, and indicated in broken lines in FIG. 2, and the telescoping inner portions of legs 68 and 70 are pulled out to ground-engaging position and are locked in that position.
As is seen in FIG. 4, a hinge or pivot bracket 78 is secured on the outer end of eave pole 66. Hinge bracket 78 has a socket into which the eave pole 66 is secured, and has angular flanges 80 and 82 extending from the socket portion of the bracket. Leg 68 has flange 84 secured to the end thereof, and flange 84 is pivotably pinned by means of pin 86 to angular flange 80. The angle of angular flange is such as to direct leg 68 at the proper outwardly extending angle. Front eave pole 88 is pivoted onto flange 82 by means of similar pin and flange structure, as is shown in FIG. 4. The opposite end of eave pole 88 carries a similar flat flange, which engages with hinge bracket 90 on the outer end of left side eave pole 50. Bracket 90 is identical to bracket 78, with the exception that front eave pole 88 is not originally hinged thereto, but is secured thereto as it is swung out into position. Thus, a pin is engaged between the outer end of front eave pole 88 and bracket 90 to secure the structure. Braces 92 and 94 are pivotably secured to front eave pole 88 and, when the legs 56 and 68 are in the position shown, the braces are swung down into position and clamped on the respective legs to further rigidize the structure. 1
In such condition, the poles 12 are ready to receive tent fabric 14 from the canister 16. It is to be noted that there is no rear eave pole because the canister serves as a spacing device for the rear of the pole structure 12.
Fabric 14 is wound on drum 96 (see FIG. 5) which is rotatably mounted in the canister 16. Now, all of the poles having been removed from the open side of the canister, the tent fabric 14 can be withdrawn therefrom. As the tent fabric is pulled out, it causes turning of drum 96 during the unwinding of the fabric. When the fabric is completely withdrawn, it is positioned between the legs of the frame formed by the various poles and the floor is stretched out. The eaves of the tent fabric are secured to the eave poles of the frame by means of loop fasteners of the nature shown in FIG. 9. Tabs 98 and 100 are secured to the comers of the fabric, and each carries half of the snap 102 thereon. By this means, the tent fabric is hung from the tent frame. Next, the ridge pole 104 is inserted at the tent ridge. Pivotally dependent legs 106 and 108 are swung down from ridge pole 104 and the end pins therein are engaged in appropriate holes in left and right side eave poles S0 and 66. Thus, the ridge is maintained in appropriate position to shed rain as well as to tension the roof of the tent fabric. It will be noted in FIG. 1 that the sidewalls of the tent fabric preferably extend upwardly to the roof or ridge panel and are stitched thereto, with a pair of opposite small holes (not shown) in the sidewalls just below the ridge for protrusion of the ends of the ridge pole 104 so that legs 106 and 108 are disposed exteriorly of their respective sidewalls.
Preferably, the lower corners of the fabric at the ground are engaged under the legs 56, 60, 68 and 70, and additional stakes 110 can be employed to secure the tent fabric to the ground. The fabric 14 remains attached to drum 96 by means of flap 112 which extends from the inner eave to the drum. It is this flap which, when the canister 16 is mounted on a vehicle or the like, protects the space between the vehicle and the tent, and pulls that eave tight. Preferably, the tent fabric has an opening toward the vehicle, as the tent is seen in FIG. 1, and also has an access and egress opening in the left side of the tent, away from the viewer in FIG. 1. Thus, easy egress and access to the tent is provided, both with respect to the vehicle and with respect to the outside.
It will be noted that, as described above, the erection of the tent apparatus is accomplished independently of whether or not the canister is attached to a vehicle, although it will be recognized that, when assembling on the ground without benefit of canister support by a vehicle, it is physically easier to assemble the pole frame first and then attach the canister 16 to the side eave poles S2 and 72 via the canister height adjustment means just prior to withdrawal of the tent fabric. There now will be described the only and minor differences between erection of the tent apparatus relative to a vehicle or independently.
When the canister is not mounted on anything external of the tent apparatus, the canister 16, as shown in FIG. 8 and in broken lines in FIG. 3, is located immediately adjacent the ends of side eave poles 50 and 66, with telescopic eave pole extensions 52 and 72 almost completely withdrawn into their respective eave poles 50 and 66. To further rigidize the struc- 60 and 70 up to canister 16 and their ends are secured by mounting brackets 118 and 120 which may be of any convenient type or specially adapted to serve for mounting the canister to a vehicle or cartop carrier when so disposed.
When the canister is externally mounted, as on a vehicle, braces 114 and 116 are not used, and eave pole extensions 52 and 72 are telescopically extended a distance sufficient to provide adequate clearance between the main tent structur'e'and the vehicle as well as to provide an interconnecting canopy by means offlap 112.
It now will be easily understood that, if the occasion arises, the vehicle may be removed from the scene after the attached tent is pitched. Mere detachment of canister 16 from the vehicle permits the tent apparatus to remain in its erected status. Then canister 16 is moved toward the cave poles 50 and 66 by cranking the exteriorly attachable manual handle 122 on drum 96 to wind flap 1 12 onto drum 96. This causes telescoping inner members 52 and 72 to respectively slide into the left and right side eave poles 50 and 66; when canister 16 is in the adjacent position of FIG. 8, braces 114 and 116 areattached. Thus, the canister is away from the vehicle and the vehicle can move away. 1
ltshould be clear that repacking of the tent fabric and poles into the canister is accomplished in reverse orders from that described above, it being noted that the tent fabric, after it is disengaged from the legs and from the ground, is wound up on drum 96 by manual cranking of the crank 122. Then all of the collapsed poles are placed in the canister. Thereupon, cover 22 is closed and the 'tent apparatus is fully packed, independently of whether the canister is attached to a vehicle or not.
This invention having been described in its preferred embodiment, it is clear that it is susceptible of numerous modifications and embodiments within the ability of those skilled in the art and without the exercise of the inventive faculty.
What I claim is:
1 Tent apparatus comprising:

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney lit up Craven Cottage after a floodlight-failure delay by clinching a 1-0 victory over Fulham that sent the leaders provisionally 10 points clear in the Premier League title race.
Rooney latched onto Jonny Evans' long ball and went through the Fulham defence before curling the ball into the bottom corner in the 79th minute.
It was Rooney's 10th goal in as many games, and the double-digit lead it secured over Manchester City will stay intact if the champions lose to Liverpool.
"It's a good position, we are pleased," United manager Alex Ferguson said.
"When you look at our performance tonight, players were prepared to put their bodies on the line ... the first half we hit the woodwork three times and we deserved to win."
The match looked in jeopardy in the 42nd minute when the floodlights went out at Fulham. The referee led the teams back down the tunnel before the lights came back and the match was resumed around 10 minutes later.
Prior to that, United had struck the woodwork three times, and Fulham once.
United defender Patrice Evra first hit the crossbar after 10 minutes before Sascha Riether cleared Wayne Rooney's shot off the line.
United maintained the pressure but Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer came to his team's rescue again with another fine stop to prevent Evra's effort flying in.
John Arne Riise then tested United goalkeeper David De Gea with a dipping effort that was tipped over.
De Gea got nowhere near a shot from Bryan Ruiz that thudded against a post before play switched down to the other end where Brede Hangeland, after denying Nani with a superb last-ditch tackle, turned Robin van Persie's corner onto the bar.
Only then did a breathless contest slow in intensity, although a brilliant move involving Nani and Tom Cleverley created another opportunity for Rooney, which he stroked against a post.
Nani was certainly making an impression on only his fourth match back after two months out with a hamstring injury, only for his momentum to be halted as the stadium was plunged into darkness.
The players did return to complete the opening period, although Van Persie's shot, gathered at the second attempt by Schwarzer, was the only incident of note.
So brilliant has Van Persie been for United this season it is a disappointment when he has a quiet game.
This one went on around him after the re-start, a failure to get any power behind a header from Nani's cross his only opportunity of note.
Indeed, the floodlight incident seemed to take the zip out of the entire contest, with neither side coming close to matching the thrills they had produced before the impromptu break in proceedings.
Van Persie did somehow wriggle his way down the by-line before setting up Nani, only for Chris Baird to block.
De Gea endured another uncomfortable moment when he could only parry Sascha Riether's shot to Ruiz, but the Fulham forward was unable to get any strength on his volley.
For a while it appeared Fulham might claim a major scalp.
Rafael da Silva cleared off the line from Ruiz after Jonny Evans had been forced to head away from underneath his own bar.
Rooney had other ideas, though, with the England forward picking his spot after a pass from Evans and calmly finding the bottom corner.
Van Persie might have added a second only to volley over from close range, although the striker was required at the other end to clear Philippe Senderos' stoppage-time header off the line.

TAMPA -- Three key stars of Thursday night's 2-0 win over the Lightning in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals were given the day off on Friday from the team's brief practice at St. Pete Times Forum.
Captain Zdeno Chara, Tim Thomas and David Krejci were all absent as the team skated and went through drills for about 40 minutes in preparation for Game 4 Saturday afternoon in Tampa. Krejci scored the game's first goal 69 seconds into the opening period Thursday while Tim Thomas turned away all 31 Lightning shots in recording the team's first shutout of the 2011 playoffs.
Krejci took a hit from Marc-Andre Bergeron late in the first period of Thursday's 2-0 win but Julien coach Claude Julien said Friday's absence had nothing to do with the hit.
"David is fine," Julien said. "We had a bunch of guys stay off today. It's more of an optional and short skate. So there's no issues with David. He's playing tomorrow...
Bruins winger Brad Marchand joined the Mut & Merloni show Friday morning, hours after the B's took a 2-1 series lead over the Lightning in the Eastern Conference finals with a 2-0 Game 3 win.
Following the 6-5 win in Game 2, the Bruins delivered a dominating defensive effort Thursday night.
"We weren't very happy with how we were playing defensively. We wanted to clean it up a bit," Marchand said. "Obviously, Timmy [Thomas] helped that a bunch. He played a great game and really kept us in it there when they had any opportunities. We really played tight defensively. We were really happy with how we played last game."
Marchand said the open-ice style is not good for his mental state. "It's so nerve-racking when you play that style," he said of Game 2. "We were up by three goals, I think it was, and then they started to come back. I've never so nervous in a game the last few minutes there. We're not very...

TAMPA -- Tim Thomas recorded his first shutout of the playoffs Thursday night as the Bruins beat the Lightning 2-0 Thursday night to take a 2-1 lead in the Eastern Conference finals. Afterward, Thomas credited the result on a return to the defensive system the team has played all season.
"It was kind of a product of the way the game goes in front of me," Thomas explained. "So I was able to play more under control tonight, but a lot of that has to do with the fact that we played the way that I'm used to. So I felt comfortable in a game like that."
Thomas turned away all 31 shots in posting his second career playoff shutout. Thomas said David Krejci's goal just 69 seconds into the game helped him and the whole team relax and settle into a defensive mindset.
"I think getting the first quick goal definitely helped the whole team," Thomas added. "And then not just sitting back in the third but going out and...

EndoCross, Ltd., received CE Mark approval for the ENABLER-C Coronary Catheter System. The ENABLER-C features a unique controlled guidewire advancement technology currently available in the CE Marked ENABLER-P Peripheral Catheter Systems. The CE Mark of the ENABLER-C Coronary Catheter System follows the successful first-in-man study of the ENABLER-C that took place at the Institut Cardiovasculaire Paris-Sud.
"EndoCross has developed a unique chronic occlusion crossing device that can facilitate penetration and crossing of complex occlusions with standard off-the-shelf wires. The device allows for effective and controlled luminal crossing." said Dr. Maurice Buchbinder, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of EndoCross.
The ENABLER technology makes use of a propriety balloon design that allows for continuous and controlled luminal guidewire advancement through coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs). "The addition of the Coronary Catheter System, together with our existing peripheral femoropopliteal and BTK solutions, provides physicians with the tools they need to make the crossing of CTOs a more straight forward, consistent, and successful procedure," said Yaron Eshel, Chief Operating Officer of EndoCross.
According to a 2010 study completed by the European Society of Cardiology and published in the European Heart Journal, Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) remains as the leading cause of death in both the European Union and globally. CAD is a major cause of morbidity and loss of quality of life. The disease generated 27% of total cardiovascular disease costs, a total of $23 billion in one year.
Significant improvements in acute and long-term results drive an ongoing interest in the Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) treatment of CTOs. However, due to the complexity of existing solutions and a persistent degree of outcome uncertainty, many patients with CTOs are currently referred for more costly coronary artery bypass graft surgery rather than treated by PCI. Mr. Eshel concluded, "The ENABLER-C Catheter System uses familiar balloon catheter and guidewire technologies and does not require expensive or complex capital equipment. Therefore, the system may provide the simplicity and consistency needed to increase the overall rate of PCI treatment of CTOs, resulting in improved patient treatment and lower overall cost".
About EndoCross
Privately held, EndoCross Ltd. is headquartered in Yokneam, Israel with operations in Amherst, New Hampshire, USA. The ENABLER is a combination of a unique balloon catheter and a novel automated inflation system. The system empowers physicians to quickly and easily advance angioplasty guidewires beyond arterial blockages, thus avoiding long and complex procedures. It is the expectation of EndoCross management that the ENABLER Catheter System be incorporated into the standard treatment options for PCI, such as angioplasty balloons, atherectomy devices and stents.
The ENABLER Catheter Systems are currently not available for sale in the United States.
The ENABLER Peripheral and Coronary Systems are CE Marked and available for use in Europe.

STUTTGART Germany German software company SAP is planning to cut between 1,500 and 2,500 jobs as software programmes switch to the cloud, meaning fewer onsite staff are required, a source said on Thursday.
SAP, which employs a total of around 67,000 people, had said on Wednesday that there would be targeted job cuts, but declined to say how many. A company spokesman declined to comment on Thursday.
"The number is not yet definite and there are still checks being made as to whether positions overlap or are unnecessary," the person with knowledge of the matter told Reuters, adding that the cuts would affect all regions and areas.
However, SAP also plans to create about 3,000 new jobs this year, leading to a net increase in staff, the source said.
Cloud computing allows businesses to reduce their costs by ditching bulky servers for network-based software in their own offices and using remote data centres run by technology companies such as SAP.

One option, as we noted, is to resolve the underlying tax debt through an offer in compromise or an installment agreement before you are hit with a tax lien. It is also possible to contest the validity of the debt itself.

Microsoft to Buy Skype for $8.5 Billion
Skype will support Microsoft devices like Xbox and Kinect, Windows Phone and various Windows devices.
NEW YORK - Microsoft said Tuesday it has agreed to acquire Internet communications firm Skype for $8.5 billion in cash, marking the software giant's biggest acquisition to-date.
Skype, known for Web telephony, is being sold by an investor group that had bought a 70 percent stake in the firm from eBay in 2009.
The acquisition will "increase the accessibility of real-time video and voice communications, bringing benefits to both consumers and enterprise users and generating significant new business and revenue opportunities," Microsoft said.
Skype will support Microsoft devices like Xbox and Kinect, Windows Phone and an array of Windows devices. Microsoft will also connect Skype users with Lync, Outlook, Xbox Live and other communities.
Microsoft said it will continue to invest in and support Skype clients on non-Microsoft platforms.
"Skype is a phenomenal service that is loved by millions of people around the world," said Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. "Together we will create the future of real-time communications so people can easily stay connected to family, friends, clients and colleagues anywhere in the world."
Skype will become a new business division within Microsoft, with Skype CEO Tony Bates assuming the title of president of the Microsoft Skype Division, reporting to Ballmer.
"Microsoft and Skype share the vision of bringing software innovation and products to our customers," said Bates. "Together, we will be able to accelerate Skype's plans to extend our global community and introduce new ways for everyone to communicate and collaborate."
Skype has 170 million users and had over 207 billion minutes of voice and video conversations in 2010, according to the firm.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Google and Facebook were among the companies that previously explored an acquisition of or joint venture with Skype.
