John Gorka: The Ark.< less
Acclaimed by Rolling Stone as the "preeminent male singer-songwriter of the New Folk movement," Gorka pens intimate, conversational songs and ballads that overflow with vividly imagined details and a sly, probing sense of humor. Gorka's 2007 CD, Writing in the Margins, includes a revelatory cover of Townes Van Zandt's "Snows Don't Fall," along with a number of his own contemplative elegies on personal and political themes. Opening act is Antje Duvekot, a highly regarded German American singer-songwriter from Boston known for her hushed, conversational singing and darkly resonant, introspectively personal ballads. "Her songs feel at once fresh faced and firmly rooted, driven by the whispery sensuality of her voice," says the Boston Globe in its review of her latest CD, New Siberia. "She believes in the redemptive power of the shared secret; and is utterly unafraid to mine the darkest corners of her life for songs that turn fear into resilience and isolation into community."

Sudden heavy rainfall caused some local minor flash flooding Wednesday, but there was no major damage.
Pike County Emergency Services Director Doug Tackett said he areas where water was an issue were Forest Hills and Turkey Creek.
However, the creeks were not out of their banks. The volume of water running off the hills was simply too much for the drainage systems.
"We just had a lot of rain in a short period of time," Tackett said. "There is just too much stuff in the creeks, it created blockages in the culverts and ditches, and the water just went into the roads."
The water receded quickly however, and no major damage was reported.

ORGANS, Vol. June 1967 pp Primary ExaminerDa1ton L. Truluck Attorney-Browdy, Neimark and Norman J. Latker ABSTRACT: An intra-arterial cardiac assisting device is provided having a nonelastic polyurethane balloon which is inflated periodically for diastolic augmentation by utilization of helium. The leading end of the device, which is passed into the aorta as a catheter, has a pressure transducer therein.
CARDIAC ASSIS'I'ING PUMP The present invention relates to a cardiac assisting pump, and, more particularly, to an autosynchronous intra-arterial balloon pumping system for temporary cardiac assistance.
Fourteen of every I patients with acute myocardial infarction suffer profound cardiogenic shock. Of these patients, from 9to l3 are unresponsive to medical therapy and need some form of effective circulatory assistance. Accordingly, a vital need has existed for quickly combating profound cardiogenic shock in a relatively simple mechanical manner. While the treatment of cardiogenic shock has undergone numerous developments in recent years, primarily in the field of drug therapy, the mechanical devices which have been suggested (e.g. for elevating diastolic pressure while reducing systolic pressure) have involved extensive surgical procedures. Accordingly, the need has existed for speedy initiation of mechanical diastolic augmentation, and the best mechanical approach heretofore contemplated has involved intra-arterial balloon pumping.
In 1962 Moulopoulos et al. used an intra-arterial latex rubber balloon as a device for diastolic augmentation. In' 1962 Clauss et al. also experimented with intra-arterial balloon pumping. However. the devices contemplated were ,not generally satisfactory. Problems in prior art devices included providing a satisfactory catheter diameter, obtaining sufficiently biologically compatible materials from which the devices could be formed. providing a sufficiently great bore within the catheter to permit satisfactory inflation. the safety factor of the balloon itself. correct timing of the pumping and proper insertion of the intra-arterial pump into the aorta.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, such as indicated above.
It is another object of the present invention to provide for intra-arterial cardiac assistance in a new, improved and unobvious manner and to provide a novel intra-arterial cardiac assisting pump.
' It another object of the present invention to provide an autosynchronous balloon pumping system for temporary cardiac assistance. It is another object of the present invention to provide a novel intra-arterial cardiac assisting device providing a practical means of rapid, effective assistance to the patient in profound, refractory cardiogenic shock.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an intra-arterial cardiac assisting pump having a relatively small diameter catheter, utilizing materials which are biologicallyv compatible and utilizing a low density driving gas, which pump is effective in its intended purpose.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an autosynchronous balloon pumping system for temporary cardiac assistance having an intra-arterial portion which senses,
pressures in the aorta and assists in the correct timing of thei 60 pumping.
It is another object of the present invention to provide intraarterial cardiac assisting pump which can be simply inserted the aorta during use.
These and other objects of the nature and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a partly broken away, partly schematic diagram of one embodiment of an intra-arterial cardiac assisting pump in i accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a view like FIG. 1, showing another embodiment of the present invention; and
FIG. 3 is a schematic illustration of an autosynchronous intra-arterial cardiac assisting balloon pump, showing ex- .into an artery, and which subsequently takes on the shape of tracorporeal components.
An intra-arterial assisting device in accordance with the present invention comprises, in general, two major components, namely an extracorporeal unit 10 (FIG. 3) and an intracorporeal unit 12. A first embodiment of an intracorporeal unit 12 is shown in FIG. I, while a second embodiment, similar in many respects to the embodiment in FIG. 1, is shown in FIG. 2.
Briefly, the intracorporeal unit 12 includes a hollow elongated arterial catheter portion 14, an inflatable, nonelastic balloon portion 16, and a perforated reenforcing portion 18. The extracorporeal unit 10 includes, very generally, a source 50 of gas under pressure (preferably helium), a solenoid valve unit 52 for periodically feeding the helium into the intracorporeal unit 12 and suitable electronic means for receiving a signal from the body in which the intra-arterial cardiac assisting device has been placed (such as ECG signals through leads 58 and $6) and using such signal for the opening and closing periodically of the solenoid valve 52.
The intra-arterialcardiac assisting device of the present invention works in the following manner. Normally, the heart pumps blood into the aorta, the bodys main artery leaving the heart, during a period of time termed cardiac systole. The following period of time, during which the heart is not pumping, but is filling with blood, in termed cardiac diastole.
When the heart is in need of assistance, the intracorporeal unit is passed through the bodys skin into a suitable artery (such as the femoral artery) and passed toward the heart so that the balloon 16 is in the thoracic aorta just below the location where the subclavian artery branches from the aorta.
When the electronic means embodied in the extracorporeal components receives an appropriate signal from the body, the solenoid valve is actuated so as to admit helium through the catheter I4, through the perforations in the reenforcing por-,
tion 18, and finally into the balloon 16 at the beginning of cardiac diastole, thus inflating the balloon. During cardiac diastole the resistance to flow in the vessels of the heart, i.e. the coronary arteries, is at a minimum. Inflation of the balloon 16 at this time increases the flow through the coronary arteries and pumps blood along the aorta toward the neck and head and toward the kidneys, liver, stomach and other organs.
Deflation of the balloon 16 at the end of cardiac diastole aids the heart by reducing the pressure in the aorta which the heart must normally pump against during cardiac systole. This permits the heart to pump a large volume of blood with each contraction and also reduces the pressure in the left ventricle, or main pumping chamber of the heart, at the end of cardiac diastole. The combined effects of inflation and deflation of the balloon in this manner provide significant aid to the heart in need of assistance.
Describing the intracorporeal unit 12 of FIG. 1 in greater detail, it will be seen that the leading end 20 of the device comprises a stainless steel housing 22 in which is incorporated .a pressure transducer 24 having suitable insulated electrical ,leads 26, which pass backwardly through the perforated reenforcing element 18 and along the catheter portion 14, as illustrated, to a junction 28 and then to an electrical lead carrying .portion 30 terminating in an electrical outlet 32. While the housing 22 is preferably formed of stainless steel, it will be understood that any rigid, biologically inert material may be used for such housing. In addition, other rigid materials can be used and can be coated with a biologically compatible material such as polyurethane. f The housing 22is connected to the end of the hollow, elongated, perforated reenforcing element 18, such as by being inserted therein. Such reenforcing element 18 preferably comprises a flexible braided tube of metal wires, such as copper braid, conventionally used as electrical shielding. Such copper braid has been found to be highly advantageous since it is flexible and conforms to the shape of the artery during operation of the intracorporeal unit, and also permits the flow therethrough of the inflating gas into the balloon 16. Where the reenforcing element 18 comprises the copper braid, the lead 26 from the pressure sensor transducer is woven into the copper braid l8.
Along a portion 34 of the device 12 of FIG. 1, the copper braid l8 and the catheter 14 are coextensive, the copper braid being soldered or otherwise adhered tight over the preferably etched end of the catheter l4. Overlying the entire copper braid 18, at least a portion of the housing 22 (preferably the entire housing 22) and the entire length of the junction portion 34 is the very thin walled, flexible, generally nonelastic, inflatable balloon 16, desirably formed of polyurethane. Polyurethane is the preferred material since it is not only biologically compatible, but it has the best combination of desirable physical properties such as abrasion resistance, ease of handling, tensile strength, and resistance to elastic inflation.
The catheter portion 14 is, as described above, a hollow elongated tube adapted, along with the housing 22, the reenforcing element 18 and the balloon 16, to be inserted into the artery. It is, accordingly, essential that the outer diameter of the catheter 14 be sufficiently small to permit its insertion into the artery. While the catheter 14 may be formed of any suitable material which is sufiiciently flexible to permit it to be bent, or coiled, it is necessary that its outer surface be provided with a biologically compatible material. Thus, the catheter 14 may be formed of vinyl plastic material coated with polyurethane; however, it is preferably formed of polytetrafluoroethylene which is, itself, biologically compatible and which has other desirable properties. Particular advantages of polytetrafluorethylene include its inertness and its very smooth surface.
It is preferred in the FIG. 1 embodiment that the catheter 14 be formed of two concentric polytetrafluoroethylene tubes, the outer of which has been heat shrunk about the inner, the sensor leads 26 being retained between the two concentric tubes. it will be understood, of course, that the catheter portion 14 is sufficiently long so that the balloon 16 may be deposited in the aorta while the junction 28 remains outside the body. The catheter l4 continues beyond the junction 28, as an extracorporeal tube 36, terminating in a connector 38 for attachment to the solenoid valve unit 52.
. The intracorporeal unit 12 of FIG. 2 is, in many respects,
similar to that described above in relation to FIG. 1. The primary distinctions include the use of a temperature-compensated pressure sensor having two transducer elements 24 and 24', and the use of a copper braid 18 which extends not only the length of the balloon 16 and along only a small portion of the catheter 14, but which spans the catheter 14 along its entire length, the leads 26 from the pressure transducer elements 24 and 24' being woven into the copper braid 18 along its entire length. In addition, an extracorporeal housing 40 is provided of suitable semiflexible plastic, such as molded polyurethane, into which the gas connection 3% and the electrical connection 32 are embedded for improved ease of connection with the solenoid valve unit 52. Also, instead of the polytetrafluorethylene catheter, polyurethane is extruded over the copper braid 18. Since all external surfaces of the entire assembly except for the connectors to the solenoid valve 52 and the electrical outlet are made of polyurethane, very highly reliable junctions between these surfaces can be achieved.
The extracorporeal unit includes, besides the source 50 of helium under pressure and suitable passageways and pressure regulating valves and metering devices therealong passing to the solenoid valve unit 52, as part of the control means, a modified double beam oscilloscope 60 and a recorder 62. The patient's ECG is recorded through leads 58 and passed through to the oscilloscope 60 through the leads 56. Central aortic pressure is measured by the pressure transducer elements 24 and 24' and passed through the leads 26 to the oscilloscope 60 and from these through leads 66 to the recorder 62. In turn, the oscilloscope 60 passes a signal through a lead 64, based on information received through the leads 58 and 26 from the body, to control the opening and closing of the solenoid valve 52. By means of the modified double beam oscilloscope 60, a preselected point of the ECG or of the central aortic pressure controls the solenoid valve 52. Phase and duration of inflation cycle can be adjusted independently.
The function of the electronic control (e.g. modified dual beam Tektronix 565 oscilloscope) is to recognize the occurrence of an R-wave on the ECG initiate a time delay up to the end of cardiac systole. At the beginning of cardiac diastole, the electronic control energizes the solenoid valve and maintains it energized until the end of cardiac diastole. For example, the commercial oscilloscope is modified by the addition of a relay, controlled by the 13+ gate, which connects power to the solenoid valve.
The following specific example of the manufacture and use of an intra-arterial cardiac assisting pump is presented by way of illustration and not by way of limitation, so that those skilled in the art may better understand how the present invention may be practiced.
An extracorporeal unit 10, such as shown in FIG. 3, is provided with a source of helium 50 under pressure and an electronically controlled solenoid valve 52. The intracorporeal unit comprises a flexible polyurethane balloon 16 with a Teflon" (polytetrafluorethylene) catheter 14 attached to one end, the entire intracorporeal unit being capable of being sterilized.
The balloon 16 is made by coating a glass mold with a l0- l5 percent polyurethane tetrahydrofuran solution. The resulting balloon has a wall thickness of only 0.100-0125 mm., but the material is so tough that it can withstand pressure of 250 mm. Hg. without undergoing elastic deformation, and it will withstand considerably greater pressure before bursting. The resultant balloon 16 thereby provides for a wide margin of safety during actual use. The so-formed balloon may be l0- l7 cm. long and 1-2 cm. in diameter, depending upon the size of the aorta for which it is intended and the pumping volume required. As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the balloon 16 tapers at each end to a cylindrical sleeve which is about 3 centimeters long and about 0.4 to 0.5 centimeter in diameter.
A section of woven flexible copper tubing (electrical shield- 7 ing), approximately 3-5 mm. in diameter, is introduced into the balloon 16, spanning its length, to serve as the elongated, perforated reenforcing element 18.
A pressure transducer 24 of the semiconductors straingauge type, provided with a stainless steel housing 22, is then tightly fitted into the end of the device proximal to the heart. The junction is then sealed with a coating of the polyurethane solution. Thus positioned, the pressure transducer is insensitive to pressure changes within the balloon 16, but records blood pressure changes at the site where the device is positioned, such as within the aorta.
The catheter portion 14 is then interfitted with the end of the balloon 16 and the end of the copper braid 18 along the portion 34. The catheter 14 may fit inside the copper braid 18, or it may fit over the end of the balloon 16. In the latter case, the catheter consists of two concentric, heat-shrinkable Teflon tubes. The catheter 14 is 60-70 cm. long and has a 5 mm. outside diameter. The leads 26 from the transducer 24 are interwoven with the braid 18 along its length and, where the braid 18 ends, the leads may either be carried within the catheter 14, or where the catheter comprises two concentric tubes, between such tubes. As is seen, the catheter connects the intra-arterial balloon 16 and the extracorporeal unit 10.
For catheterization, the intracorporeal unit is stiffened by the insertion of a long catheter guide which reaches to the leading end of the braided tube 18 which elongates the tube 18 thereby reducing its diameter to aid insertion. When the balloon 16 has been placed within the aorta, the guide is withdrawn and the woven copper tube, acting as a reenforcing means, allows the balloon 16 to regain its flexibility.
In operation, the assembled unit is driven by a low density gas, preferably helium. lt is necessary to use a low density gas to assure its rapid passage through the narrow catheter and into the balloon 16 through the mesh of the copper tubing.
By means of the modified dual-beam oscilloscope 60, a preselected point either of the central aortic pressure, as obtained from the transducer 24, or of the ECG, controls the solenoid valve of the pumping unit causing the helium to flow into the balloon 16 very quickly to inflate such balloon 16 to its preselected nonelastic maximum diameter.
It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that various changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention and that the invention is not to be considered limited to what is shown in the drawings and described in the specification.

Taking action on lessons learned
It was encouraging to see that some Black Forest residents have pulled demolition permits to begin the remediation and rebuilding process. For us in Mountain Shadows, things happened much, much more slowly. It was a week before we were even allowed back into our neighborhoods to assess or verify damage. No demo permits were allowed to be issued for weeks, until dumps that could take the debris were identified, and all the furor about federal intervention, FEMA authorities and the fear of toxic waste from the burned houses was all sorted out.

We recently upgraded to Enterprise 3.1 and since the upgrade I am not able to change the PrivateEmail address on some users (something in the order of 50% of the 60-70 that I have tried to change). It is not all of the users and I haven't been able to figure out what is common between the users that could be causing the issue.
I have tried using the Control Penal | Membership Administration to make the edits. Look up the user, click Edit, go to Email and Contact Info. Then change the Private Email address and click save. That field does not change and there are no errors listed. In fact, I get the normal success message. I can change other profile attributes just fine. But not the Private Email for these specific users.
I have tried making the changes using the REST API to a sample of these same users. Same thing. There is no error reported, but the value does not change.
I have looked in both the Event log and the Exceptions log and there are no entries related to this action in either location.
Before we upgraded to 3.1 from 2.6 this worked 100% of the time. I never had a failure. I am 100% sure that the email address I am trying to set is not already in use anywhere.
Does anyone have a clue what might be causing the problem.
That is an issue I have never seen nor heard of. I'd suggest contacting our Support team and filing the bug with them.
In reply to Dan Hounshell:
Thanks Dan. I will contact support.
In reply to Bill Corley:
Hi Bill and Dan,

My Name is
Dariusz Parys
I'm also known as @writeline
I'm a Technical Evangelist @ Microsoft Germany and you can follow me on Twitter or visit my private blog stream.
Microsoft released a Patch for Wordpress 2.9.2 which enables SQL Server Support. With the SQL Server Support you also have SQL Azure in the bag. There are enough installation docs and posts out there, but I was missing a concrete one for the parameters given in the WordPress database connection details page.
So, to make it simple we assume that we have a SQL Azure database named Blog hosted on xyz.database.windows.net. Further we assume we created a user for the blog named bloguser through the SQL Server Management Console (2008 R2!) and associated the user as db owner for the database.
Here are the inputs required by this setup page:
Important to notice that we have to specify the user with the addition of the subdomain name of our SQL Azure service instance.
Also another pitfall is Port 1433 which is closed by most hosting providers by default (at least here in Germany). So, don't forget to open it as outgoing connection (TCP) in your firewall.
Hope this helps.

I made my solution pretty clear at the end:

I can't recommend a blanket solution because every circumstance is different. That's the crux of what I've been saying here - we don't know how each circumstance will play out so it is unfair to new users to suggest that they try to fit into a logic that doesn't allow for wiggle room.
Second, I didn't call you complacent. Rather, I was concerned with the logic that you were advocating and the complacency that it's supporting. For all I know, you're the least complacent person in the entire world. Who you are is not my concern however. What I'm concerned with is the message that you are advocating which appears to be complacent in nature. It's here that I return to my original argument - believing that Apple will simply take care of each and every threat when the time comes is a belief soaked in complacency. All I'm asking is for you to acknowledge that Apple isn't perfect while recognizing that it is not inappropriate for end users to remain vigilant. There's nothing wrong with believing that Apple will work to keep up with security threats but it is another thing to suggest that we should just let Apple do all the hard work for us.

Quite the contrary, OS X is a very well tested personal computer OS. It has stood the test of very public use by tens of millions of users for over a decade.
Care to provide some examples for this?
This argument also doesn't negate anything I said earlier. Regardless of whether or not OS X has remained immune from viruses doesn't make future infections impossible. Waiting until the problem occurs and then fixing it is the wrong attitude to take if we can be proactive now by encouraging awareness.

And as I suggested, sometimes that isn't fast enough. This is why believing that Apple will always make the right decisions is the wrong attitude to have. Perhaps the ultimate question here is this: what makes Apple so much better prepared than Microsoft? If OS X were to gain an "attack worthy" market share, what is it about Apple that makes them a much better developer with regards to security? For all I know, they might be better (I can't see into the future) but I don't think it's reasonable to suggest that they would be leagues ahead of other companies if we have nothing to go on.

I really can't argue with a bigot, or someone who wants to call me "complacent" when there isn't even the slightest evidence that I am, or who wants to scare average Mac users. I can only hope that average Mac users will read what I've written in this thread and, most importantly, checked out the many links that I've provided to back up what I've said.
I'm just going to remind you of the
Community Guidelines
, specifically with regards to the section that deals with treatment of other members. Please be aware of that before you continue what appears to be a determination to call everyone who disagrees with you a bigot. Feel free to disagree with anything I say but you need to stop denigrating the character of those of us who you happen to disagree with.
Finally, I don't think encouraging awareness and vigilance, while refraining from arguing that "Apple knows best all the time" is scaring them. In fact, I'd suggest that encouraging users to be proactive in their thinking will help keep OS X secure for much longer than a reactionary based logic.
