Historical and Philosophical studies > History of Design] (Unpublished)
|Horton, Ian and Furnee, Bettina
This paper examines the use of oral history in text-based site-specific public art practice. It highlights the features these two activities share and examines potential tensions when such artworks use oral history records as a key component in the final outcome. These issues are examined with direct reference to two projects, "Witness" and "Prisoner of War", by the artist Bettina Furnee.
Oral histories, in aiming to record and archive people's accounts of past events, must make reference to time and place. They are a record in the present time and place of events that move fluidly across both time and place through the act of recounting. It is argued that these features are also evident in site-specific art practices which similarly reference the history of place while being firmly located in the present moment of creation and/or reception.
Whilst oral history and site-specific public art share the features outlined above, the artworks examined in this paper highlight issues within the use of oral history in such practice. Oral histories can most directly be presented in an art context aurally. If they are to take physical or material form then the issue of editing becomes central to the practice unless a printed transcript is presented in full. This problem is explored in relation to Rosalind Krauss' notion of the indexical, used in analysing postmodern artistic practices, and linked to the idea that the textual fragment can substitute for the archive itself.

ST PAUL, Minn., Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The CHS Foundation announced today that it has provided initial funding to launch the Ralph K. Morris Foundation's new Elroy Webster Cooperative Studies Fund, a program which provides a scholarship and honorary award to graduate and law students interested in agriculture and cooperatives.
The scholarship program was created in memory of Elroy Webster, a Minnesota farmer and CHS leader who helped drive historic joint ventures and mergers of U.S. agricultural cooperatives. Webster established the well-respected CHS New Leader Program for farmers and ranchers, created a grant-based funding program for cooperative, agricultural and rural development projects through the CHS Foundation; and was actively involved in a wide range of organizations including FFA, Agriculture Future of America, the Ralph K. Morris Scholarship Foundation and the Agriculture Council of America.
"Elroy Webster was one of the most influential figures in agriculture and cooperatives in the last half century," said William Nelson, president, CHS Foundation. "We're proud to help launch this new scholarship program in memory of Elroy's dedication and leadership to CHS and commitment to the future of agriculture and cooperatives."
The Elroy Webster Cooperative Studies Fund will help cover costs associated with tuition, fees, books, supplies or equipment for graduate or law students enrolled in agricultural or cooperative classes or those who demonstrate a high level of interest in these fields. Application forms and additional details can be found on the Ralph K. Morris Foundation website (http://www.ralphkmorrisfoundation.org).

the view from the loo
Our master bathroom has been in a state of un-done for quite some time, as it's taken a back seat to other renovation projects in our house. Mark busted his butt to get our main living area finished before Christmas and I knew he needed a well deserved break from the constant drywall work, painting and installing something-or-other. Our bathroom is perfectly functional, for the most part, except we can't take a shower in there. Until now. The bathroom is super small, so seriously, this is the view from the loo:

New to the Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker? Read this
I have been using the Instant Pot for more than a couple of years now. It's a wonderful electric pressure cooker. I offer a $50 discount from the Instant Pot...
Inspiring Ideas for Plant Based Eating
People have often heard me refer to winter as "apple-pear-citrus" season. And the part that I like most about it is the abundance of juicy, sweet citrus fruit. So, when Whole Foods asked if I would like to point out the differences between satsuma tangerines and clementines, I thought, "Why not?" since it will have me eating and thinking about these sweet, orange gems.
As a warm up, I perused Whole Foods website to see what kinds of creations they came up with for these fruits. Here are my two favorites of their bunch:
Green Beans with Pecans and Clementine Dressing Spinach Salad with Aduki Beans and Satsuma Vinaigrette
Here is what I was inspired to create with these wonderful citrus fruits. And here is what I have to say about each of them.
I have to admit that I am a bit of a tangerine purist. I like to peel them and eat them as is (and if they are organic, I save the peel to dehydrate to add to other dishes or to mix into herb and spice blends) . Using them in a recipe is almost sinful yet the sweet juice is amazing so that's what I chose to use.
I substituted the tangerine juice for orange juice in one of my favorite salad dressing, or sauce, recipes which is here:
Tangerine Miso Dressing
Makes about ¾ cup
This tastes great on spinach, other raw or cooked greens, or on soba or rice noodles with vegetables. If you want to make this a bit richer, stir in a couple of teaspoons of tahini or other seed or nut butter. I usually make this with orange juice but I might now only use tangerine juice.
½ cup freshly squeezed tangerine juice (2 to 3 of them)
1 teaspoon grated tangerine zest (best to zest before juicing)
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons mellow white miso (my favorites are South River Miso or Miso Master)
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
1-2 teaspoons agave syrup, only if necessary but it's not likely with tangerines
Blend all ingredients in the food processor (small) or blender until smooth.
This will keep up to a week in the refrigerator but it won't likely last that long.
Here is how the tangerines stack up one against the other in this dressing.
Let me first say that I love Satsuma tangerines as much for the ease of peeling them as for their flavor. Ease of use is almost always going to sway my opinion of a product although taste is the final determining factor.The clementines denser texture is lost in this recipe but for out of hand eating, I might opt for the clementine since they are only marginally more difficult to peel (although this seems to vary more with each batch of clementines than with Satsumas).
The flavor difference in this recipe is not appreciably different with either of these tasty tangerines although the tiny bit higher acidity of the clementine makes the dressing a bit tangier which is what I like. If you prefer your dressing sweeter, then use the Satsumas. The juice of the Satsuma (seen below on the right) is much brighter orange which you might find more visually appealing. If it's winter, you cannot go wrong with either of these tasty tangerines. I suggest that you try them and see what you think. (Let me know by posting a comment below. )
Disclosure: Whole Foods encouraged me to write this post and paid for my citrus but all opinions posted are my own.
I love Satsumas and truly appreciate this delicious fat-free dressing! Thanks SO much for sharing! I can't wait to add it to my repertoire!
Thank you so much. It's quite tasty. I thought about making it again to check it out. After trying the clementines a few times, I think that I developed a fondness for them.
Let me know what you think about the dressing. I appreciate your posting.
I do not have a comment about the recipe because I am not a cook and everything you do has been way above my head, but I do have a question! When I was in the 10 day program in June you demonstrated not only the pressure cooker but the Insta pot – that is the first I have ever heard of those, therefore I got one.
The question is – does the Insta pot do everything the pressure cooker does but with a little more time required?
The Instant Pot is a pressure cooker so it does what pressure cooker can do. It is easy to use but requires a little more attention when cooking fast-cooking vegetables because they can easily overcook. If you have the Duo model you can use low pressure to help ensure that the vegetables get cooked just as you want them.

The eventual resolution of last year's big patent trial between Apple and Samsung is one step closer after Samsung was denied a retrial over one of the patents concerned: the 'bounce-back' or 'rubber-banding' effect when a user scrolls past the end of a document.
At the trial, which concluded a year ago tomorrow, each company accused the other of infringing on a range of patents …
The jury found that Apple didn't infringe any of Samsung's patents, while Samsung was found to have wilfully infringed five of Apple's patents, including Patent '381: the rubber-banding effect. Apple's original patent application claimed 20 points of originality for the rubber-banding effect; the US Patent Office denied 17 of them but granted three.
Samsung was originally ordered to pay just over $1B in damages, a sum later reduced to $450M after US District Judge Lucy Koh found that the $1 billion award was the result of "an impermissible legal theory." A new trial has been set for November to finalise the damages award.
Samsung moved for a retrial specifically on the rubber-banding patent, continuing to deny that it had infringed patent '381. CNET reports that this was denied late yesterday.
US District Court Judge Lucy Koh issued a ruling late Thursday denying a Samsung motion for a new trial regarding the "bounce-back," or '381 patent. Samsung filed this motion in July.
Apple had argued that the move was a delaying tactic on the part of Samsung in an attempt to put off the time at which it would have to pay damages.
Apple won a similar case in Japan back in June.

Wasnt enough that Droid took the basic look and feel of iOS but Samsung had to copy the iPhone form factor. The litigation took so long that products in the ruling are old but will set an important precedence for future cases. Nearly all Android fan boys forget the fact that Apple was the first company to introduce a fully touch screen/multi-gesture smart phone.

Q: How did Probation begin?
A: Probation began in the United States in 1841 when a shoemaker named John Augustus, known as the "Father of Probation," asked a Boston judge to release a man charged with public drunkenness into his custody.
Q: What is Probation?
A: Probation is a court ordered sanction (a sentence) that allows a person to remain in the community under the supervision of a probation officer. The conditions of this community-based supervision can vary. The conditions can include jail time, fines, restitution, community service, ignition interlock, psychological/psychiatric treatment, substance abuse treatment, or other sanctions. Probation will require an offender to report to a Probation Officer in accordance with a schedule determined by the officer. If an offender does not follow the rules of their probation, they could go back before the judge and be sent to jail or prison.
Q: What is the mission of Probation?
A: Probation's mission is to ensure public safety.
Q: What is a Probation Officer, and what do they do?
A: A Probation Officer is someone who supervises a person who has been placed on Probation. Some of the officer's duties include the following:
Monitoring compliance with court orders
Preparing reports for the court
Assisting offenders in obtaining needed services (substance abuse, mental health, domestic violence, etc.)
Overseeing the rehabilitation of offenders
Conducting offender work and home visits
Administering drug tests
Collecting DNA
Registering Sex Offenders and verifying their address
Providing services, support and protection for victims of crime
Probation Officers must become competent in addressing the following issues:
Drug and alcohol abuse
Sexual deviancy
Child abuse
Domestic Violence
Mental Illness
Probation Officers work closely with community organizations and social service agencies to provide offenders and victims with the support and services that they need. Probation Officers maintain partnerships with law enforcement and other justice agencies to share information and expertise.
Q: Who is on Probation?
A: Generally, offender eligibility is determined by New York State law based upon the crime of conviction. The final determination is made by the sentencing court after hearing from the prosecutor, defense attorney and with regard to the offender's background as stipulated in the presentence report.
Q: What is the difference between Probation and Parole?
A: Probation is a sentence or disposition imposed by a criminal court or family court. In general, probationers are released in the community without serving a period of local incarceration, although in certain circumstances they may be sentenced to both imprisonment (local) and probation; the sentence of incarceration shall be a condition of and run concurrently with a sentence of probation. Probation is a county function in New York State, although in New York City, the probation department is run by the City government. The New York State Division of Probation and Correctional Alternatives (DPCA) provides regulatory oversight and funding to local probation departments.
Parole is a portion of a correctional sentence served in the community following a term of incarceration in state prison. For offenders serving an "indeterminate" sentence, the NYS Board of Parole makes decisions whether an eligible state inmate is granted or denied parole. Offenders sentenced to a "determinate" prison term generally are released after serving 6/7 of their sentence. The period of supervised release following incarceration for such offenders is known as "Post-Release Supervision." Parole or Post-Release Supervision is intended to assist offenders in returning to society. These offenders are supervised in the community by parole officers, who are state officials employed by the NYS Division of Parole.
Q. What does PINS stand for?
A. A PINS or Person in Need of Supervision is any child under the age of 18 who exhibits a consistent pattern of incorrigible, ungovernable and/or habitually disobedient behavior, or a person who is truant from school on a consistent basis, or anyone under the age of 16 in possession of marijuana.
Q. Who can file a PINS referral?
A. Anyone can file a PINS referral. The referrals are located on this site or at the Columbia County Probation Department. The person making the referral must have personal knowledge of the child's consistent pattern of problem behavior.
Q. How long does it take to file a PINS?
A. A PINS complaint is a form that can easily be filled out in a matter of minutes. The person filing the PINS referral must be able to document specific behaviors in chronological order. For school filed PINS referrals, a complete discipline and attendance record must be attached. A school filing a PINS referral on a student with disabilities must provide documentation stating that the child's problem behavior is not a direct result of the child's disability.
Q. What is the difference between PINS intake/diversion and PINS probation?
A. PINS diversion is the process by which a child voluntarily agrees to be monitored by a Probation Officer while agreeing to abide by certain "conditions of adjustment". These conditions are a set of rules, agreed upon by the referral source (parent, school, etc…), the assigned PO and ultimately the child. The PO conducts a thorough assessment and provides the child with the opportunity to develop a case plan based on the child's/family's strengths and the child/family's needs. Successful adjustment of a PINS diversion case depends on the level of cooperation by the child and his/her family. Community-based services are often recommended to children and their families in order to assist the child and family in completing the PINS diversion program successfully. It is those cases that are not successfully adjusted that get referred to Family Court. At that stage, the PINS referral becomes a PINS petition.
A person deemed to be Person in Need of Supervision (PINS) by the Family Court can be placed on a term of Probation Supervision for up to one (1) year. An order of probation includes a number of general and specialized terms and conditions of which the child must comply with. Should a child on probation supervision not comply with court ordered terms and conditions, the Family Court Judge may place a child on a longer term of probation, or place the child in the care and custody of DSS, for up to one (1) year, and in some cases until the child's 18th birthday.
Q: My son/daughter received a Juvenile Delinquent (JD) ticket from the police, what happens next?
A: You need to appear at the Probation Department at the date/time specified on the ticket. You and your child will meet with a Family Court Probation Officer. The PO will explain your rights and options on how to proceed. You always have the right to be heard by a Family Court Judge and may exercise this right at anytime during the process. Following an interview and assessment you may be offered JD Adjustment/Diversion Services if eligible, or the matter may be referred to the presentment agency immediately if the case is determined to be unsuitable/ineligible for Adjustment/Diversion Services. Everyone is evaluated on a case by case basis.

I wanted to let you now about another project that I've been working on (which explains why I haven't posted for a while and why it may be quite a while before I start posting regularly again).
I've recently started the site fsharp4u.com. F# may not have the grassroots community support that other languages enjoy. However, it is a solid language that is growing in popularity. There appears to be a need for easy access tutorials, and F# for You is designed to fill that gap. While Microsoft has provided several sites and tools, there is a lack of basic information on F# from an independent perspective.
Hopefully this new endeavor will be a positive contribution to both the F# community and the larger functional programming community.

ecosystems will require global-scale long-term observations from carefully calibrated satelliteborne sensors.
Early carbon cycle models that were used to investigate sources and sinks of anthropogenic CO2 ignored the effects of marine productivity, which was thought to be in equilibrium on annual timescales. Since marine productivity is not limited by carbon, it was reasoned that increases in CO2 would not affect oceanic productivity. More recently, modelers have investigated how marine productivity might be affected indirectly by climate change through its effect on oceanic and atmospheric circulation patterns.
Because phytoplankton life cycles are orders of magnitude shorter (days versus years or decades) than those of terrestrial plants, phytoplankton may respond to climate influences on ocean circulation, mixing, and the supply of nutrients and light much more quickly than plants in terrestrial ecosystems. Given that oceanic primary productivity is estimated to be roughly half of all global primary productivity, the oceanic component of the carbon cycle will respond more quickly to climate changes.
For example, there are vast areas of the Pacific and Southern Oceans, where phytoplankton productivity might be limited by iron (Martin et al. 1994). In contrast to the other limiting nutrients, which are supplied primarily by the deep ocean, atmospheric dust deposition is one of the main sources of iron to the open ocean. Paleorecords indicate that the Southern Ocean responded with increased productivity during colder periods when iron atmospheric deposition was enhanced due to the expansion of arid regions. This led to the notion that these areas in the Pacific and Southern Oceans could be stimulated to draw down large amounts of atmospheric CO2 if they were provided with iron. Several experiments conducted in the late 1990s and early 2000s proved conclusively that iron does limit production in these regions (Coale et al. 2004). Iron is supplied to the open ocean by atmospheric transport (dust deposition), by lateral advection of waters from the continental margins, and by upwelling of deep iron-rich waters. Long-term monitoring of the ocean phytoplankton will reveal whether climate change will affect these iron supplies potentially fertilizing the Southern Ocean or the Pacific.
With 10 years of continuous ocean color data (since 1997), we now have the ability to observe year-to-year variability in global oceanic primary production and begin to assess longer-term trends in ocean carbon uptake. Behrenfeld et al. (2006) describe a steady climate-driven decrease in oceanic NPP related to the warming of permanently stratified ocean waters at mid- to low latitudes over the past 8 years. This period of decreasing NPP followed the rise in NPP between the El Niño and La Niña phases. Satellite observations afford the only means of estimating and monitoring the role of the ocean biomass as a sink for carbon.
Although early studies established that red and near-infrared satellite bands could track changes in plant growth and development (Box 9.1), the large number of Landsat images (~5,000) required to assemble a global database, combined with computational requirements and frequent cloud cover, have prevented analysis of complete global or time series of Landsat data sets. Launched in 1978, the Coastal Zone Color Scanner showed that ocean productivity could be observed using visible and near-infrared bands; however, CZCS measurements were saturated over land and thus unusable.
The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) polar-orbiting weather satellites has obtained a continuous record of daily global observations since 1978, acquiring both red and near-infrared bands. Because AVHRR was not designed for observing the terrestrial biosphere and the 1- to 8-km scale of AVHRR pixels was significantly larger than theoretical understanding of ecosystem processes, scientists were initially skeptical about whether biospheric patterns and trends could be observed. However, scientists have managed to overcome technical problems such as maintaining calibrations, screening clouds, and adjusting for different observational angles. Thanks to the pioneering efforts of Compton Tucker, the daily AVHRR data set now spans more than 25 years and is the longest continuous global record available of terrestrial productivity, phenology, and ecosystem change for monitoring biospheric responses to climate change and variability. Although AVHRR was not designed for climate monitoring, continuing improvements in calibration and reanalysis have produced a consistent record for monitoring and assessing past and future biospheric responses resulting from climate change and variability and anthropogenic activities.
Initial studies using AVHRR followed seasonal and annual trends in ecosystem production and vegetation phenology at regional and continental scales (Tucker et al. 1985, Townshend et al. 1985) and at the global scale (Justice et al. 1985). In the early 1990s some key papers introduced the use of remote sensing data to ecology (Roughgarden et al. 1991, Ustin et al. 1991) and stressed the need for ecologists to focus on global ecological problems (Mooney 1991). These ideas led to the resurgence in ecosystem research and modeling of biogeochemical processes and significant advances in understanding the Earth as a system.
By the mid-1990s, global ecosystem and biogeochemical models used satellite data to establish variable vegetation composition and abundance (e.g., Biome BioGeochemical Cycles [BGC], Running and Hunt 1993; CASA, Potter et al. 1993). The concept of resource limitations as the controlling mechanism determining NPP was established in the late 1980s (Chapin et al. 1987). This placed a premium on direct

GUAJARA-MIRIM, Brazil — The cocaine that anti-drug officials say is flooding into Brazil these days comes from neighboring Bolivia, in small planes that make 20-minute flights, in luggage ferried into river ports and in small dugout canoes that make clandestine trips in the middle of the night.
But in hamlets such as this one, Brazilian federal police officers try to stem the flow by urging villagers to report the suspicious activity on the 2,126-mile frontier with Bolivia, one longer than the U.S.-Mexico border. And in a speedboat, others patrol the Mamore River separating the two countries, guessing which of the countless motorized boats are carrying drugs bound for Brazil's big cities.

Alex de Ocampo: Striving to make the world a better place
Alex de Ocampo remembers it, like it just happened yesterday.
De Ocampo, a successful young Fil-Am with a resume full of achievements, had just finished eating dinner when he stepped outside of a restaurant in Silverlake and heard his name being called.
Through the shadows in front of the restaurant was an unkempt man in tattered clothes. The man called out to him again.
De Ocampo squinted. Maybe just a homeless person begging for change. But the young man looked familiar. De Ocampo looked more deeply. Quickly it dawned on him, he knew the man. De Ocampo said the young man's name.
He was a former classmate.

An improved placement catheter of the type having a longitudinal line of weakness whereby the catheter may be split longitudinally. The improved catheter is made with radiation cross-linked tubing to provide better splittability.
1. In a method of making a placement catheter by providing polymeric tubing with a longitudinal line of weakness extending from a proximal end to a distal end of the catheter, the improvement comprising: applying cross-linking radiation to the weakened tubing.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the polymeric tubing comprises a polymer or polymer blend selected from the group consisting of polyethylene, polypropylene, polyurethane, polyvinylchloride, ethylene copolymers and fluoropolymers.
3. The method of claim 1 or 2 wherein the radiation applied to the polymeric tubing is from a radiation source selected from the group consisting of electron-beam, gamma rays, and ultraviolet light.
4. The method of claims 1 or 2 wherein the tubing is extruded.
5. The method of claim 2 wherein the polymeric tubing is made from linear low density polyethylene.
6. The method of claim 3 wherein the radiation applied to the polymeric tubing is less than about 22.5 Mrad.
This invention relates to splittable catheters used in procedures for inserting catheters or pacing leads into a human body. A hollow needle that has a coaxial splittable placement catheter thereon is used to penetrate the vein. The needle is then removed, leaving the placement catheter extending through the penetration and into the vein. A catheter, guidewire or pacing lead is then inserted into the vein through the lumen of the placement catheter. The placement catheter is designed to split longitudinally so that it can be removed from the vein without removing the inserted device.
A variety of methods have been used to impart splittability to the placement catheter. For example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,411,654 issued to Boarini et al, longitudinal lumens or grooves are placed 180 degrees apart into the wall of the catheter during extrusion to provide lines of weakness from the proximal end to the distal end of the catheter along which the catheter will rupture if it is peeled away from an inserted device. A similar effect may be achieved by using a tool to longitudinally score the wall of the catheter after it is molded or extruded. While these methods are generally effective, the lines of weakness provided may be inadequate to provide smooth splittability for the catheter, causing the catheter to tear off of the lines of weakness. Also, if the lines of weakness provided weaken the catheter excessively, it could cause an unexpected rupture of the catheter during the insertion procedure.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a placement catheter that requires reduced force to split the catheter while maintaining the catheter's strength.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide a placement catheter which splits smoothly along lines of weakness in the catheter while minimizing tears off the lines of weakness.
These and other objects have been achieved in the present invention. We have found an improvement for a placement catheter made from polymeric tubing which has been provided with a longitudinal line of weakness extending from a proximal end to a distal end of the catheter. The improvement is to use a radiation cross-linked tubing as the polymeric tubing material. The tubing is preferably treated after it is extruded by the application of radiation in a type and amount sufficient to cause cross linking of the polymeric material of the tube.
FIG. 1 is a graph showing the peel force required to split a placement catheter according to the prior art and also for placement catheters made by the application of electron beam radiation according to the present invention.
The present invention is an improvement for a placement catheter made from polymeric tubing which has been provided with a longitudinal line of weakness extending from a proximal end to a distal end of the catheter. The improvement is to use a radiation cross-linked tubing as the polymeric tubing. The tubing is preferably treated after it is extruded by the application of radiation of a type and amount sufficient to cause cross-linking of the polymeric material of the tube.
The polymer used for the tubing can be any polymer or polymer blend suitable for use in placement catheters that can be cross-linked by the application of radiation. For example, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyurethane, polyvinylchloride, ethylene copolymers or fluoro-polymers could be used. A preferred polymer is low density polyethylene or linear low density polyethylene or mixtures thereof.
The radiation source can be any radiation source that will effect cross-linking of the polymeric material of the catheter tube. For example, electrons, gamma rays, X-rays, beta rays or ultraviolet light could be used depending on the polymeric material of the tube. In a preferred embodiment employing low density polyethylene polymers, an electron-beam source is preferred. Equipment for producing electron-beams suitable for treating tubing according to the present invention can be obtained commercially. For example, a system from Energy Sciences Inc., Bedford, Mass. could be used.
The amount of radiation required for the present invention depends on the polymeric material used for the tubing and can be easily determined experimentally for each material. Generally, the desired radiation dosage is that which will reduce the force required to peel the placement catheter apart without causing such degradation of the material that the material will tear off of the provided lines of weakness. The point at which degradation starts for the material may be determined by plotting the 100% secant modulus of the material against the radiation dosage. When the modulus drops, degradation of the material and splitting off of the lines of weakness can be expected. In a preferred embodiment in which a 50/50 blend of low density polyethylene/linear low density polyethylene was used in tubing with a diameter of 0.187 inches and a wall thickness of 0.026 inches was irradiated with an electron beam, a radiation dose at about 22.5 Mrad or below was found to produce acceptable results.
A further disclosure of the present invention will be presented in the following illustrative examples.
Lead introducer tube samples made from a 50/50 blend of low density polyethylene/linear low density polyethylene were tested for splittability following radiation treatments of varying intensity. The tubing had a diameter of 0.87 inches and a wall thickness of 0.026 inches and was provided with longitudinal, opposing scores to provide longitudinal lines of weakness by which it could be peeled apart. The test samples were sent to Retroperfusion Systems, Inc., Irvine, California for irradiation at various dosages. The irradiated samples were then tested for peel force values according to three test protocols identified in FIG. 1 as "initial force", "continuous force" and "start-stop force". "Initial force" was measured as the force in pounds required to start the split in the placement catheter. "Continuous force" was measured as the highest force in pounds recorded during the entire splitting of the placement catheter excluding the initial force. "Start-stop force" was measured as the force in pounds required to restart the splitting action after stopping. The results of those tests are given in FIG. 1.
Lead introducer tube samples as set forth in Example 1 were sent to E-Beam Services, Plainview, New York for electron beam irradiation at various dosage levels. The samples were tested for parameters including ultimate tensile strength, elongation at break and 10% secant modulus. The mean results for those test parameters are given in Table 1.
TABLE 1______________________________________Dosage Ultimate Elongation SecantLevel (Mrad) Tensile (psi) (percent) Modulus (psi)______________________________________none 3922 2768 142815 4213 2159 143920 4047 1938 1463 22.5 3857 1714 152525 3793 1598 1502 27.5 3771 1561 150430 3494 1391 1513 32.5 3807 1462 1533______________________________________
With respect to these samples, ease of splittability was noted to be better with increasing dosage level but that some samples at 25 Mrad and above tended to tear off of the score lines.
While the invention has been described above in connection with particular embodiments, one skilled in the art will appreciate that the invention is not necessarily so limited and that numerous other embodiments, examples, uses and modifications of and departures from the embodiments, examples and uses may be made without departing from the inventive concepts.

An earlier version of this post appeared at De-Conversion a couple of months ago. It grew out of a response to a post by Babs.
"Thinking outside the box" is a current buzz phrase in North America. Common Wisdom has it that people who succeed in business are those who can think beyond their usual boundaries and imagine possibilities that their peers don't conceive. Thinking "inside the box," in contrast, is considered stale and uninventive, a sure recipe for fiscal disaster. In this post, I want to consider the notions of thinking inside the box, outside the box, and finally, about the box itself.
I first learned to think outside the box about ten years ago, when I taught an undergraduate course in Human Relations, which typically covered such issues as racial, ethnic and gender discrimination. I was an evangelical Christian at the time, snuggled cozily inside my spiritual and intellectual box. I was comfortable with my worldview and, until that point, had experienced little difficulty in fitting new ideas into my old box without changing much about the box itself. My mission in the Human Relations course, as a graduate assistant I had little choice but to accept it, was to teach undergraduate teacher education students to think outside their boxes. This entailed, of course, that I could learn to think that way myself. Fortunately, my faculty supervisor and fellow graduate students taught me how to think outside of my conservative, evangelical Christian box.
An example of the kind of thinking I mean is this: the most difficult Human Relations concept for me to grasp was the notion of "white privilege." It took me months to understand how, as a white person in American society, I enjoyed many hidden privileges. For example, when I walk down the street, people don't cross the street and walk on the other side as they sometimes do when they see a black or Hispanic man coming their way. The implicit trust extended toward me, simply because of my skin color, was something I took for granted. I assumed such trust was granted to everyone who walked down the street, but that was not true. Once I grasped this concept, and other related ones, everything I had ever learned about human social intercourse took on new meanings. I finally was able to a) think outside of my old conceptual box, and b) build a new and better box for myself.
In hindsight, I now realize that this initial experience in thinking outside the box was a significant step in my de-conversion. As I learned to consider and understand race and gender issues in new ways, I had to re-define my theology. I had to build a new theological box so that I could add the new content to it and dispose of some of the old junk that couldn't merge with the new stuff. As time went by, the new box became comfortable and I settled into it until it became my regular box.
Over the past few years, as I viewed the world from within my box, I gradually became aware that it was getting tight and stuffy in there, with little room for new materials. When I hit the crisis period of my de-conversion, I climbed outside of my box and, instead of merely thinking outside of it, began examining the box itself. After several weeks of looking at that box and its contents, I discovered that I could no longer carry around many of its contents, primarily those related to Christianity. Upon further consideration, I've grown increasingly comfortable with the idea that it is time for me to set aside all religious boxes, for none of them will ever fit me well again.

Warmer weekend ahead, then cold will return
Warmer days are coming this weekend, but another cold snap is expected early next week.
Temperatures are expected to rise from the overnight single digits to a high of 24 degrees Friday, then retreat only slightly to 22 Friday night, according to the National Weather Service.
Gusty winds of as much as 28 miles per hour are possible Friday night.
A slight chance of snow is forecast tonight and early Saturday.
Highs are expected to reach 37 on Saturday and 48 on Sunday, with overnight lows in the teens.
But the chill will return, with a high of 17 expected Monday and single-digit temperatures Monday night, repeating that trend Tuesday.
On Thursday, temperatures dipped to 5 degrees — with a windchill minus-8 — around dawn before inching up to 12 degrees at midafternoon and then falling back to single digits. A low of 1 degree was forecast overnight.

NEO Splashes into Spring
An amazing crew, a fun group of models, and an unseasonably sunny day in the Pacific Northwest provided all the entertainment we would need for shooting the 2013 NEO Spring Collection.
As the shoot began, rather than running through the typical fashion poses one might expect from an apparel brand shoot, our models were encouraged to be in the moment, to act as they would normally, and truly take to heart NEO's call to live their style. And live it they did—a splash-filled romp in a downtown fountain, a makeshift skate park, and a spur-of-the-moment concert venue were just a few of the highlights from our day.
The NEO Spring Collection shoot, featuring the iconic Ira Keller Fountain and scenic Pettygrove Park, was produced by Portland's own Kamp Grizzly and photographed by Jake Stangel. Shooting in Portland was a great opportunity to explore the city in ways we hadn't previously considered.
The shoot was a great success and we learned that with a little oil on your chain, the company of a few great friends, and an uninhibited sense of adventure, you can take an otherwise ordinary day to unexpected places.

It's been eight years since Hurricane Katrina devastated the gulf coast, but remnants of homes that have been washed away remain and the locals still speak of the storm as though it occurred yesterday, according to Framingham State junior Carolyn Holland.
She was among a group of 27 FSU students and three chaperones who spent Spring Break in March performing eco-restoration work along the coast of Mississippi in an area devastated by Katrina and the British Petroleum (BP) oil spill.
The trip was part of Alternative Spring Break (ASB), a program that provides students the opportunity to spend their week off volunteering in communities devastated by natural disasters. ASB has seen a big spike in popularity at Framingham State over the past few years, as more and more students look to take part in what many describe as a life-changing experience.
"A lot of people sign up thinking it will feel good making a difference, but they don't also realize how much fun it is," says sophomore Tori Dost, who served as a trip leader along with Holland and senior Molly Goguen. "Everyone forms a bond that is hard to describe. It's really special."
The students raised $27,000 to cover the expense of the trip. The group teamed with the non-profit organization Community Collaborations International. Projects included renovating garden areas, and performing work along the ocean to prevent erosion, protect local wildlife and mark the shoreline, which has changed dramatically.
Angel Seto, Framingham State's Club Coordinator and one of the chaperones on the trip, says the group initially thought most of the work they performed would be related to the more-recent BP oil spill. But it was the remaining devastation from Katrina that stood out, she says.
"It was eye-opening for the students to see the effects of Katrina eight years later," Seto says. "People forget about it because it happened so long ago and isn't in the news anymore."
Goguen, who has gone on three ASB trips, says she is proud of how well the group melded this year. She hopes the trip will inspire all the students to make service work an ongoing part of their lives.
"You can dedicate yourself completely to a cause for a week, but what really matters is what you're going to do with that experience when you get back to campus," she says. "My hope is everyone will continue to look for small ways they can help and make a difference every day."
About Framingham State University
Framingham State University was founded in 1839 as the nation's first public university for the education of teachers. Since that time, it has evolved into a vibrant, comprehensive liberal arts institution offering small, personalized classes on a beautiful New England campus. Today, the University enrolls more than 6,400 students with 53 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in arts, humanities, sciences, social sciences and professional fields. As a public university, Framingham State prides itself on quality academic programs, affordability, and commitment to access for all qualified students.

The state 4-H program headquartered at the UT campus has formed a unique partnership with Operation Christmas Child.
Here in Tennessee more than 300,000 young people participate in 4-H from 4th grade through college.
The youth organization is partnering with a non-profit that helps children across the world.
Shoeboxes arrive packed with gifts every year at Christmas to make the holidays happy for children in poor countries.
"Operation Christmas Child is an organization that effects the world," Brennan Lytle explained.
He has packed shoeboxes with his church and is a long time 4-H member who is now a student at the University of Tennessee. He is heading up a partnership between the two groups.
"I think it's a great pair because they're both youth development organizations in their own particular way," Lytle said.
UT Extension Specialist Justin Crowe said, "A Tennessee 4-H alum who now works for Operation Christmas Child in their national headquarters in Boone, North Carolina and she reached out to me if there was any way we could partner because it just makes sense."
Justin Crowe explains UT is 4-H headquarters for the state, promoting the four Hs in 4-H.
"They stand for head, heart, hands and heart," Lytle said.
The 4H pledge and motto says in part... Pledging my hands to larger service and my health to better living for my club, my community, my country and my world.
"Samaritan's purse and Operation Christmas Child, their goal is to reach out to young people in countries around the world," Crowe said.
Collection barrels will show up on campus next month.
"We're going to do toys, basic necesities like toothbrushes, toothpastes, combs," Lytle said.
They won't pack shoeboxes but instead will pack plastic containers with lids. They travel better than cardboard boxes and the recipients can use them after the fact to collect rain water and store items. It is a gift within a gift.
"Each month we'll collect a different item and toward the end of the year we'll actually have a packing party where we'll bring all of those items together and pack it," Crowe said. "We are excited about this partnership. We're looking forward to the natural alignment about what we do in 4-H and what the Operation Christmas Child mission is."
Fliers will announce the on-campus effort in January then UT hopes to extend it state wide.

Look how well that worked for ToR.
Gameplay first is always a bad idea when you've got a popular IP. Look at all the emphasis on gameplay developers have historically put on games based on popular IP's, and how horrible they always turned out.
No one ever stopped playing a game because it had great lore. I can't help think of all the games with really awesome gameplay and crappy lore that I just coudln't manage to get through.

Other races see them as monstes but the military uses them for fighting. They are slaves of war going to the faction who captures them.

No one is right or wrong, regardless of what we think these are just opinions we are throwing around. Personally I prefer to have open factions because it creates characters.
There is no changing sides, you belong to no faction. Each race will start in the faction owned areas already assigned. There will be a prominent military force of that faction that will always try to recruit you BUT you have a choice. After a certain level you must join the military or you can flee. If you flee you begin the exploration part of the game.
There will be NPC military presence all over Tamriel from each of the factions, around the borders and in major towns. If you are from another area your enviroment is considered hostile territory (enemy NPCs you would quest against). You could quest with rebellion armies hiding around, traders, travelers, other players, or you can try to join the opposing faction. You surrender to the army and pledge your service. You may have to go to a prison camp, work as a mercenary, be a messenger, or other storylines depending on the faction. Eventually you'll work your way up through the ranks the good ol' fashion elder scrolls way.
Factions are not meaningless in this senerio. Yes it would be difficult and risky but no more difficult and risky a standard mmo is currently. Let go of the mmo stereotype, make it more casual to join the faction you started with but for people who want to work for something, give them the option to join another faction. Every project has problems but part of the creation process is to plan, solve and execute.
I have to be honest, I wouldn't want racial segeration in guild wars 2 (I even liked the legacy racial thing in SWTOR). The games depth and complexity had nothing to do with mixing races. I also enjoyed going up to stormwind in stealth as a horde. I liked the fact I could travel there and see where they quest. If they wanted to copy wow, why didn't they at least copy the persistent world with natural borders and no limitations part.
