This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 08/566,608 filed Dec. 4, 1995, now abandoned.
This invention is a surgical device. In particular, it is a micro-vaso-occlusive device intended generally for occlusion of small arteries located distally in the vasculature. The invention is made up of a binder, often radio-opaque, which is short in length in comparison to the length of the included thrombogenic fibers. The fibers from the other portion of the device. The micro device may have multiple binder section. The fibers may be straight, looped, or tufted.
The use of occlusive devices in the vascular system and in other systems of the body, e.g., genito-urinary and biliary systems, is known. In the vasculature, a physician may apply a vaso-occlusive device using endovascular techniques to a selected site to cause the site to fill with thrombus. The occlusion often changes in composition to a more collagenous composition over time.
A variety of maladies may be treated in this way. For instance, an occlusion may be used to limit bleeding due to vascular accidents such as strokes or to fill abnormal vascular cavities such as aneurysm or to limit the flow of blood to an anomalous anatomical region, e.g., a tumor or one of the extraneous sites in a multifocal electrical arrhythmia.
Occlusive devices and materials used in such service are typically of two types: solids and reactive fluids. The class of solid-occlusive devices includes an eclectic variety of materials: hog hair, polyvinyl alcohol beads, collagen beads, latex beads, and silk or rayon fibers. Devices such as coils or balloons are also known and used.
Cyanoacrylate glues are occasionally applied as vaso-occluding materials. These are not type-approved and a specific approval must be determined for each use. Glues are difficult to place within the vasculature and although they create excellent occlusions, they may do so at a site downstream of the desired site.
The most practical of these devices and methods from both a precision placement aspect and an effectiveness aspect are vaso-occlusive coils with or without added thrombogenic fibers. An early endovascular coil device is found in Ritchart, et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,994,069. These devices are lengthy in comparison to the inventive devices described here and rely on the volume of the coil and the secondary shape of the coil after it exits the delivery catheter for defining the bulk of the resulting occlusion.
A variation of the vaso-occlusive coils are shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,226,911 and 5,304,194 to Chee et. al. Those patents show the use of longer vaso-occlusive coils having attached fibrous elements which are looped from place-to-place along the coils.
A further variation is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,382,259, to Phelps et. al. Phelps et al. shows a coil having a braided fibrous covering on the exterior of the coil. The braid is placed on the coil for the purpose of increasing the assembly's tendency to produce thrombus.
None of these devices are vaso-occlusive devices having short binders holding significantly longer fibers.
Other occluding devices having a plug-like form are known.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,095,917, to Vancaille, shows a transuterine technique for sterilization of females using a biodegradable plug. The plug is used in conjunction with the destruction of a mucous layer to form a site for inflammation and, upon healing, form an occlusion. No fibers are used in conjunction with the plug.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,192,301, to Kamiya et al., shows a closing plug which is to be delivered percutaneously to close somatic wall defects such as arterial septal defects (ASD). The plug is preferably of a shape memory polymer and has shape involving a cone at one end and a flange at the other. Again, fibers are not involved in the structure of the device.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,443,478, to Purdy, shows a multi-element vascular device having an anchoring element and a lead element connected by fibers. The anchoring element is typically a coil forming a circular element. After deployment of the device from a delivery catheter, the anchoring element secondary shape is approximately the size of the vessel to be occluded. The typically somewhat smaller lead element is also often a coil but is depicted to be of a smaller size than the anchoring element. The fibers are not aligned with the coil upon deployment of the device, however.
Japanese Kokai 4-312454 shows an occlusive device which appears to have multiple magnetic portions. The magnetic portions are shown to be square in FIG. 1 and spherical in FIG. 3 of the publication. The magnetic portions do not appear to act as clasps on the fiber.
None of the disclosed devices are similar to the inventive vaso-occlusive device.
This is a vaso-occlusive device made up of at least one short retainer and a longer fiber bundle. The retainer may be radio-opaque. The fibers may be straight, looped, or tufted. The primary use of the device is in the very small vessels at the distal portion of the vasculature.

The invention is a vaso-occlusive device typically made up of two components (which may be used in multiples): a retainer and a multiplicity of thrombogenic fibers, often in the form of a bundle. The retainer may also include a clip for fibers.
FIG. 1 shows in cross section a side view of a generalization of the inventive vaso-occlusive device (100). FIG. 1 shows the convention and defines many of the specific terms used herein. The retainer or binder (102) is so-called because in most variations of the inventions it retains the included fiber bundle (104) located in the passageway (106) located in retainer (102). The retainer (102) has a retainer length (108) which extends along the retainer axis (110) between the furthermost ends of the retainer (102). Similarly, the retainer (102) has a diameter (112) which is the outer limit of the retainer (102) generally perpendicular to the axis (110). Most desirable to this invention are retainers (102) in which the ratio of retainer length (108) to diameter (112) is no more than about two, preferably no more than about one.
The fiber portion (104) of the device (100) is a multiplicity of fibers having a length (114) which reflects the longest fiber extension in a specific device (100). Preferable to this invention are those structures in which the ratio of the length (114) of the fibers to the retainer length (108) is at least two, more preferably at least five.
Although the size of the device (100) is dependent upon the specific use to which it is placed, for most endovascular uses, the diameter (112) of retainer (102) typically will be between 0.005 and 0.090 inches. Smaller sizes are desirable because of the intent to use those devices in small, distal arteries. For that indication, a retainer outside diameter (112) of 0.005 to 0.015 inches is preferred.
The length (114) of the fibers are typically in the range of 0.100 inches or more.
The device (100) is typically radio-opaque. Either or both of the retainer (102) and the fibers (104) may be radio-opaque. The retainer (102) may be made of any material suitable for holding onto the fibers. Typical materials include those metal or alloys selected from the group consisting of various stainless steels, gold, tungsten, platinum, palladium, rhodium, rhenium and alloys thereof. Preferred is an alloy of platinum and tungsten.
Other materials suitable for the retainer (102) include polymeric composition, e.g., adhesives and moldable caulks. Especially preferred are epoxies, urethane, and silicones. Highly desirable as adjuncts to these polymeric compositions are particulate radio-opaque fillers, e.g., powder tantalum, barium carbonate, bismuth oxide, barium sulfate, and the like.
The materials used in the fibers (104) may be thrombogenic material but typically are silk, cotton, polesters such as the Nylons and polyethylene terephthalate (e.g., DACRON), polyurethane, polyethylene, etc.
FIG. 2 shows a side view, cross section of the inventive device (120) having a generally spherical retainer (122). In this variation, the passageway is an opening placed through the center of the retainer (122). The fibers (124) are held in place by, e.g., crimping or squeezing the retainer or by introducing a glue into the interior of the retainer. The fibers (124) are merely placed as tufts in the retainer (122).
FIG. 3 shows a side view cutaway of the device (126) in which the retainer (124) is generally cylindrical in shape. As was the case with the FIG. 2 variation, the fibers (124) pass through the center of the retainer (128)
FIG. 4 shows a side view cutaway of a variation of the device (130) utilizing a coil as the retainer (132). When using high ductility metals in the coil retainer (132), it is sometimes desirable to augment the retainer (132) with a glue or the like to hold the fibers (124) with greater certainty.
FIG. 5 shows a side view cutaway of a variation of the device (131) utilizing coil (133) as the retainer. In this variation of the device, the fibers (134) do not pass completely through the axis of the retainer coil (133). Instead they are pulled through and are held in place by the coil itself after insertion between turns of the coil. The length of the various fibers (134) are much longer than is the length of coil (133). Typical of the use of a coil such as this in which the leading edge of the coil is exposed to the lumen of a blood vessel is the use of a rounded tip (135) to the coil. Tip (135) may be made in a variety of different ways. The typical way of making such tip when the coil is of material which easily melts is simply to melt a portion of coil (133) to form the rounded tip on (135). Although the diameter of tip (135) is shown to be relatively the same as that of coil (133), the rounded tip may have a diameter which is larger or smaller than coil (133).
FIG. 6 shows still another variation of the vaso-occlusive device (136) utilizing a coil retainer (139). However, in this instance, the coil (139) is used only as a portion of a retainer assembly. The device which directly encloses the fibers (143) is a clip (141). The vaso-occlusive (136) additionally has rounded tip (137) as did the device shown in FIG. 5. This device might be assembled in the following manner: First, multiplicity of fibers (143) is included in an open u-shaped clip (141). The shank of the clip is then slid into the interior of coil (139) until the fibers fit snugly against the end of the coil opposite that portion where the head (137) is to be found. The end of the coil (139) is then heated or an amount of epoxy or the like is applied to form a rounded end (137). The rounded end (137), the coil (139), and the clip (141), all cooperate to hold fibers (143) in place.
FIG. 7A shows a side view, cutaway version of the inventive vaso-occlusive device (138) in which the retainer (140) is ovoid and the fibers (142) are introduced into a pair of passageways passing through the periphery of the retainer (140).
FIG. 7B shows an end view of the FIG. 7A device (138) and shows the passageways (144 ) in the retainer (140). Although these passageways (144) are shown to be crimped or squeezed to hold the fibers (142) in place, it is acceptable to glue them in the external passageways (144). Passageways (144) are generally parallel to the axis of the retainer.
FIG. 8A and 8B show variation (150) of the device shown in FIGS. 7A an 7B. The difference is the multiple number of passageways (144) in the retainer (146).
FIGS. 9A and 9B show a variation of the device shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B. This device (154) uses the multiple passageway (144) retainer (146) portrayed in FIGS. 8A and 8B. Two bundles of fiber (156) are used. Each bundle (156) is routed through a first passageway (144) and looped around externally and then through an adjacent passageway. This variation gives a larger overall effective diameter to the device (154) with enhanced thrombogenic area.
FIG. 10 shows a longer variation (160) of the inventive device having multiple retainers (128). The fibers (162) are sized and situated in such a way that a portion of the bundle terminates between a pair of retainers (128). This variation (160) has the benefits of potentially shielding the retainer (128) from the interior of the delivery catheters during that delivery. It also provides for enhanced thrombogenicity.
FIG. 11 shows a variation of the inventive vaso-occlusive device (166) in which multiple retainer (128) are used to hold the fiber bundle (168) in a straight through passage.
In the variation shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 and in the other multiple retainer variations, and of the retainers, e.g., ovoid, spherical, coil, cylindrical, may be used and they may be mixed, as is discussed below.
FIG. 12 shows a multiple retainer (128) variation of the devices (170) in which the outer fibers (172) in the bundle (174) extend outwardly past the outer diameter of the retainer (128). The center fibers in the bundle (174) are straight in this configuration.
FIG. 13 shows another multiple retainer configuration (180) of the device. The retainers are a mixture of cylinder (128) and a coil (132). In this variation, the outer fibers (182) of the bundle (184) extend outwardly between the binders (128, 132). The fiber bundle (184) is also folded back over itself at the end (186) and passed back through one of the binders (132). This variation of the invention provides a large leading hydraulic surface to the device when introducing the device using fluid pressure delivery.
This device may be delivered using typical pusher techniques and an endovascular catheter as described in the Ritchart et al. patent or using the hydraulic techniques described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/978,320, filed Oct. 9, 1992, to Zenzen et al.
This invention has been described using examples of the preferred embodiments. Obvious variations of the invention within the equivalents of the invention found in the following claims are considered to be within the scope of the invention.

CJ E&M's main focus has actually been in the movies, owning theaters and distributing films. It's also gotten some KPop stars for its music division, but... well, you're at Massively to hear about games, right? That's where Netmarble comes in. CJ E&M bought Netmarble and opened eight studios, six of which focus on PC gaming. Oh, and of course, the company publishes just a few hundred games. This also led to the opening of CJ Games Global in April to help bring over Korean games and publish others, such as Uncharted Waters, with 64 more games to be published in the next three years. One of the main goals of CJ Games, though, is releasing games that aren't as well represented in the current market, such as Uncharted Waters.
It's not going to be a relaunch, but CJ Games knows that Uncharted Waters Online's starting experience could be streamlined a bit. The Academy took about eight hours and over 2,000 clicks to complete (yes, there was someone in Korea who had to count the clicks). In April, this was reduced to three hours and only about 230 clicks. It's still a long tutorial, so CJ Games is designing in-game videos to help ease this process; the videos are two to three minutes long and range in topic from careers to navigation. After watching the video in-game, you will be given a chance to actually practice what you've watched. For some of the harder aspects of the game, such as working supply lines, Uncharted veterans will be able to make and submit their own videos as part of an upcoming contest. Yes, winners will have their tutorials put directly into the game in the same manner as the other tutorials.
There's also two major updates coming this year: one coming this summer and one coming this fall. Next year, however, will see an expansion called Second Age, which is not being discussed quite yet.
Servers will also be closer to home for North American players, so captains in Los Angeles, California, and Florida, rejoice!
Yes, this game was already out, but with a different producer. CJ Games has put Prius "back in the oven" to let it "bake a little longer" and get the fun back into the game. So far, there's a new dungeon, but there will also be some other major changes.
Sin Streets is being billed as an urban action shooter, so while it's not so much an MMO as it is an FPS, we have a column that handles that. Players play gangster or SWAT team members and fight over resources and different streets in automated tournaments that (selected) players can participate in. There are also weekly time periods when clans can take over specific parts of the city. Clans that win territory receive prizes, bonuses, and the right to tax. Grab a gun and shoot your friend in the face (or back, if that's your preference)!
Here's another Not So Massively game to keep your eyes on. Bloody Hunter is a lobby-based game played with friends cooperatively, similar to the Diablo series. The game takes places when a massive explosion happens in space in a parallel dimension and forces three time periods to overlap. The game has raids, guild halls, and other community elements in addition to the RPG aspects.
Keeping with the different MMOs theme for CJ Games, Monarch has this thing called the "troop system." As in most MMOs, you start your character out by choosing a class, but players have 12 troops they can own (which can be purchased from other players, traded for, earned, or unlocked via quests) and level up. You can't command them to do specific things, but you can tell them to do general things. For example, if there's a war for a castle, you can tell your troopers to go break down the wall. The game supports a 100v100 player war (actual players, not including their troops) for guild wars. One interesting tactic the game allows is destroying your own castle during a siege, since the ruling guild has to build and maintain its castle. If things look bad and your guild knows it will lose, you can give the winning guild a nice big pile of rubble to rebuild. However, the guild that controls the castle also levies taxes, so if you really like that area of the game, you may have to pay the new owners they try to fix the parts of the castle your guild just destroyed.
Setting taxes isn't the only thing city owners get to do. You can choose who comes in, flag another guild as an enemy of the area to allow people to freely kill your rivals, or simply disallow people from entering the area.
Monarch's story is still in flux, though, so future role players and lore scholars will have to wait a bit on this aspect of the game.
Hounds is a mature, survival/horror, roleplaying shooter. The world has been infected by a virus turning people into monsters, and the only defense against them is the elite group called Hounds (yes, you the player are part of that group). The game's a third-person shooter with a single-player story option, co-op mode, PvE raids, PvP battlegrounds, and a persistent PvP-campaign with a real-world map where players can fight for control of the land and erect guild halls. As in most shooters, cover is important, so players carrying, say, riot-shields really help add to the team-play element.
Hounds is trying to branch out from the MMO genre in its emphasis on shooter aspects of gaming. For example, in most MMOs' capture the flag PvP, the tank holds the flag and someone heals her. That flag carrier is hard to take out because the gal holding it is pretty self-sufficient at keeping damage down, and someone else is keeping her up. Not so in shooter games or Hounds. The flag carrier is, as the name says, carrying the flag. It's up to her teammates to hold riot shields to prevent her from taking damage, forcing a bit more team coordination.
The game's due out fall 2013.
Massively's on the ground in Los Angeles during the week of June 4-7, bringing you all the best news from E3 2012. We're covering everything from PlanetSide 2 and SWTOR and ArcheAge to RIFT's and LotRO's upcoming expansions, so stay tuned!

Should I have a Doula If I am having Cesarean Section?
Often it is believed that Birth Doula services are used only by those seeking non-medicated or natural childbirth. In reality, Birth Doulas attend both medicated and non-medicated births, including cesarean sections (C-sections). Although individual hospital policies regarding who may be allowed in the operating room during C-sections vary, many of Birthing Gently's Birth Doulas have attended scheduled and unscheduled procedures.
The Scheduled Cesarean Section
You may wonder why a Birth Doula would be helpful for a scheduled cesarean section (C-section). Take a moment to consider the relationship you have established with your Birth Doula. You have built a trustful relationship with your Doula as you have prepared for your birth. Some women feel anxiety over the thought of surgery. Your Birth Doula takes time during the prenatal visit and throughout the prenatal period through close phone and email conversation to review and work with you to help reduce your anxiety before your delivery. Our Doulas use a six week relaxation program prior to your delivery date, this relaxation program helps to reduce stress and anxiety brought about by the upcoming birth ( for some mothers this may include working though some birth tramua brought on by a previous birth). She can educate you about some aspects of surgical birth and aid in formulating a birth plan. It is very important to review the birth plan with your health care provider in advance so your Birth Doula's presence during the delivery will be planned for and expected. The final decision and permission for the Birth Doula's attendance at the delivery is made by the anesthesiologist. Birth Doula services provided by Birthing Gently are offered at a reduced fee for scheduled cesarean sections. Your Doula will be with you in the pre-op area before the surgery, and once regional anesthesia is placed, she will remain with you in the operating room during the delivery. She has been educated about C-sections and will be able to provide you with details as needed. Everyone will be busy during the procedure; the surgeon and assistants will be performing the surgery, the nurses will be preparing the room for the baby, and your partner will be with you during the procedure and may go to the warmer to greet your delivered baby. Your Doula will be at your side to help you deal with some of the physical and emotional challenges during surgery. She can also remind the staff of any special requests you might have. If you desire, she can take photographs, particularly after the baby is born. Your Doula will remain with you in the operating room, even if your baby must be transferred to the ICU or another hospital. Your partner may chose to go with the baby, but your Doula will stay with you. Once you are moved into recovery, your Doula will remain with you until you are transferred to the postpartum floor (usually about 2 hours). If you are planning to breastfeed and your baby is with you, your Doula can assist you in getting the baby latched on correctly. If you are planning to breastfeed and your baby is with you, your Doula can assist you in getting the baby latched on correctly.
The Unscheduled Cesarean section
During an unscheduled Cesarean section, your Doula will provide the above services. It is important to review the possibility of an unscheduled C-section and your wishes to have a Doula present during the surgery with your health care provider. The Doula can assist the mother during the procedure to remain calm and focused as anxiety levels can tend to rise. Her presence can have a calming affect for both you and your partner.
Please note that: Tara Campbell & Myrna Kenney are the most experienced and primary Doulas for this service

Area Catholics trust Bishop Mulvey to lead the way
New bishop assure he will hear his flock
CORPUS CHRISTI - Area Catholics of all ages have faith that their new bishop will listen to them, yet trust him to define his own path.
Bishop Wm. Michael Mulvey assured he will hear them.
Monumental is how Jeremiah James Arizmendi, 16, described Mulvey's installation Thursday as the Diocese of Corpus Christi's eighth bishop.
"I want him to be good in his own way, not follow the mold of those before him," the Incarnate Word Academy student said. "We will trust his plan."
Neri Maldonado, 72, agreed.
"Change is good," the retired retail manager said. "I'm anxious to see his refreshed ideas and would only ask him to keep an open mind."
They are two of about 1,000 people who poured from Corpus Christi Cathedral about 4:30 p.m. into its courtyard to meet Mulvey. A continuing line of anxious parishioners streamed through a tent to meet their new leader.
Irene Silva, 69, says there's a serious need to bring more youth to the church.
"We need to get teens interested with programs to help keep families together," she said.
Derek Ficenec, 14, said Mulvey must reach out to everyone.
"There are many people who don't experience the mission of the church," said the Incarnate Word High School freshman. "He shouldn't just focus on the faithful."
Any bishop has to look out for the whole community, said Bishop Edmond Carmody, who Mulvey replaced.
He must listen to people's needs, Carmody said.
"They are different," he said, "than they were 10 years ago."
Cindi Escobar, 42, prays Mulvey continues pulling in youth without being set in the ways of the past, she said. Her daughter Andrea, 19, said she already feels Mulvey's love, and that she's confident he will expand the church's progress.
Muley said he's aware of Carmody's charges for education, helping homeless and fighting diabetes.
"We don't have to reinvent the wheel," Mulvey said. "I will use his wisdom and experience to move forward. He's done a marvelous job, and I'm grateful he's not leaving.
"I'm most certainly interested in everyone," Mulvey assured, "and I will listen to every word and to the clergy as a starting point."

Simpson Baby Almost Named Zinfandel
Yes, Jessica Simpson and fiance Eric Johnson reportedly tossed around the wine and grape as a possible name for their baby (who, according to a close family friend, will be named Maxwell — Maxi for short).
Zinfandel doesn't quite do it for me, but maybe that's because I'm slightly sensitive to alcoholic baby names. Some history: One of my nicknames has always been Paulie Girl. It was only a few years ago, when I stumbled upon the beer St. Pauli Girl, that I started to question where that name had come from. Lo and behold, after some research (a call to my dad), it turns out… yes! I was nicknamed after a beer! Sigh.
Anyways, personal baggage aside, I think there are better alcohol-related baby names than Zinfandel. A few off the top of my head:
Margarita This name is a classic in several foreign languages, including Spanish, Russian and Greek.
Brandy I used to be obsessed with this name, mostly because of the gymnast Brandy Johnson.
Apple Martin Okay, you probably aren't going to borrow Gwyneth Paltrow's baby name, but I just have always thought it's so funny that her name is just one letter away from an apple martini.
Mimosa A brunch drink and a flower! Can't get much better than that. I actually know someone named Mimose, which is a nice alternative.
Perry This wine is made from fermented pears, and is a cute name for a little girl or boy.
Tonto If you can get past the Lone Ranger connection, this fermented banana beverage from Uganda could also be a good boy's name.
Sherry Okay, it's a little 70′s, but still a better name than Zinfandel!
Rakia Made of distilled fermented fruit, this Balkan beverage is named with a nice combination of sounds.Add a Comment

If I named my daughter after alcohol it would definitely be Tequila
by Selena
On April 27, 2012 at 12:18 pm
I was named after Selena Cross in the book/film/soap "Peyton Place". She's sexually abused by her step-father, gets pregnant by him, has an illegal abortion, gets battered by him, kills him, then stands trial for his murder.
I watched the movie when I was 15 and asked my mom why she named me after Selena, and not Allison. "Allison was pretty, popular, and had a hot boyfriend!" (like I said, I was 15. LOL) My mom said that Selena overcame hardships with grace and dignity and she hoped her daughter would be just as beautiful.
Forgiven. LOL
(BTW, if I just ruined the story for anyone… the book's been out since 1956. Wah. LOL)

Two more nightclub shootings over the weekend left five people wounded.
The violence at the clubs near Goose Creek came two weeks after a 23-year-old woman celebrating her birthday was caught in the crossfire at a nightclub near St. George.
The latest incident occurred at about 2 a.m. Sunday outside the Nowhere Bar and Grill Lounge at 7128 N. Rhett Ave., Berkeley County Sheriff's Office spokesman Dan Moon said.
Three people were shot in the parking lot and taken to hospitals. Witnesses told police the gunmen took off in a black vehicle, Moon said.
The first incident occurred at about 1 a.m. Saturday when an argument broke out inside Club Pluto on Red Bank Road, which has been the scene of several other recent shootings.
A fight spilled out into the parking lot, Moon said. A vehicle drove off, followed by a black Chevrolet Impala. The first vehicle made it to the intersection of Red Bank and Harborview Road when someone in the Impala opened fire, injuring two people inside the first car, Moon said.
None of the five injuries was believed to be life-threatening, Moon said.
It's possible the shootings were related, given the proximity of the clubs — they are about 1 mile apart — and that the suspect vehicle is black in both cases, but that theory had not been established Sunday, Moon said.
A black car that initially was believed could be linked to the shootings was reported in a neighborhood off Liberty Hall Road Sunday afternoon. Several Berkeley County deputies were sent to talk to a possible suspect, but it was determined that the car was not involved, Moon said.
Club violence has caught innocent bystanders in the crossfire. On July 14, a hail of gunfire outside the Starlite Lounge near St. George took the life of Sierra Denise Truesdale, a Trident Technical College student celebrating her 23rd birthday. Investigators said at least 17 shots were exchanged in a shootout between two rival gangs, and Truesdale was hit by accident. Two men were wounded.
In a separate incident on the same day, a man was critically wounded by gunfire at a nightclub with no name at Campbell Thickett Road and Wishbone Road in the Ridgeville area.
Several shootings have been reported at Club Pluto. The Berkeley County Sheriff's Office has identified it as a trouble spot that deputies would like to clean up.
"There's been an awful lot of calls that we've had to respond to at that Club Pluto," Moon said after a previous shooting in May. "We'd like to find some way to lower the number of calls and cut down on the violence," he said.
A 39-year-old North Charleston man who showed up at Summerville Medical Center on May 14 with gunshot wounds to his foot and his abdomen told deputies that he was shot while leaving Club Pluto.
On Jan. 22, three people who were hit with bullets and shrapnel from a car at Red Bank and Howe Hall roads told deputies they were leaving Club Pluto when the shots were fired.
In early December 2012, a man who exchanged gunfire with another driver on Red Bank Road and then wrecked also told deputies he was leaving the nightclub.
Other local nightclubs also have had their share of gunfire.
A man was critically wounded outside the Game Room on Ladson Road about 3 a.m. June 12. A car in the parking lot was riddled with bullets.
A man fired into Game Room from its doorway on Dec. 20.
In Colleton County, at the Chase Lounge just outside Walterboro, a man was critically wounded by gunfire on Feb. 12, the second shooting at the club this year. Two people were shot Jan. 30, and a man was shot to death at the club on Sept. 6, 2012.

Labels are inevitable. We need need to understand and identify things. But labeling is difficult. Sometimes we assign a label and unintentionally or unnecessarily implicate individuals or groups who don't really fit our intended description.Such is the case with the conservative/evangelical Calvinistic-Baptist and Presbyterian resurgence that is busy championing the twin causes of the absolute sovereignty of God in salvation and damnation, and fixed complementarian gender roles in the church … [Read more...]
The Church is a Her: Why I Love the Ecclesia Effeminate
For a while now, lots of preachers and pundits have been lamenting the feminization of the church. This begins with demographic studies that reflect a greater female participation than male, and continues with a condemnation of the broader "Omega male" culture that is giving men the permission to stay passive - and stay home on Sundays. Some prominent churches and ministries seem entirely predicated on the mission to draw men back into the fold by reinforcing "biblical" male roles and r … [Read more...]
Oops, they did it again.The Gospel Coalition, that is. This time, it's a post from Thabiti Anyabwile going above and beyond in confirming my perspective on the politicization of the neo-reformed around gay marriage legislation, creating something of a new religious right. And doing that, really, in the most base, tactless, and harmful way possible. I was going to type "carless," which would also be true considering the potential negative impact this post could have on gay young people in … [Read more...]
I'm Probably Right About the New Religious Right
A few months ago, I left a comment on the well-read blog of a friend (and hero) - and got into a little bit of trouble.I suggested that the neo-reformed movement - the "Young, Restless, and Reformed" that emerged a decade or so ago and have consolidated most notably into The Gospel Coalition, segments of the PCA, Southern Seminary and segments of the SBC, and Mark Driscoll's Acts 29 network - is giving rise to a new religious right in the U.S.I was immediately, and gently, corrected by … [Read more...]
Do No Harm: Paul in Context, pt. 2
In the first part of this theological response to neo-Reformed ways of understanding total depravity and original sin - and the potential harm in teaching these things to children - I looked at the importance of understanding Paul in context in Romans 5. Specifically, this hallmark passage for original sin theology contains a word, all, that must mean the same thing on both sides of the equation. If Adam's trespass resulted in condemnation and death for all humanity, then the obedience of Jesus … [Read more...]

A lot of people think the muscle car era ended in 1972. And for the most part, they're right. But if you knew where to look, you could still get a fire-breathing tire killer in 1973 – and that place was at your local Pontiac dealership.
Pontiac guys will tell you that the Super Duty 455, offered starting in 1973, was one of the best muscle car engines ever built. Don't confuse the SD-455 with standard 455s – the Super Duty featured a unique strengthened engine block with 4-bolt mains and special reinforced camshaft and lifter webbing for stability, forged rods and pistons, special high-flow heads, special high-performance camshaft (from the 1967 Ram Air GTO), provisions for dry sump oiling, and more. It made the few Trans Ams it powered a force to be reckoned with, pushing them to 14.5-second quarter mile times at nearly 100 mph in bone stock configuration. All while being smog legal in low-compression 1973.
Only 252 Trans Am SD-455s were built in '73, and the seller says this car is one of just 33 produced with the options specified on its build sheet. It has just 76,000 miles and looks to be in excellent condition inside and out. It's all stock under the hood, and even rides on era-correct Goodyear Polyglas tires.
Aside from the slightly more scarce Firebird Formula SD-455s, these cars are about as rare as it gets for second-gen GM F-bodies. A total of 437 1973-1974 Pontiac Trans Ams have sold on eBay Motors over the past few years, with prices averaging $42k for the best examples. This one's special equipment makes it more valuable, but it'll be interesting to see if it gets as high as the seller's near-$90k buy-it-now price. See the listing here.

I'm sorry to inform you, but the car featured above is not a Super Duty Trans Am, but a Super Duty FORMULA. Notice the lack of front/wheel spoilers, and fender air extractors. It is equipped with the T/A hood because the SD engine/transmission combination was certified, allowing them to use it to build Formulas as well. It was too expensive to certify it with the EPA in another configuration, at a cost possibly approaching a million dollars. The ebay auction site even refers to is as a Formula.

Double your post Chicken Alfredo. Lily (Christel) is looking more and more beautiful each day and she looked wonderful today on our Canadian episode. Tyler's influence no doubt...well O.K. and all that yoga and horseback riding Lily's portrayer participates in...but a natural born beauty in any case.
Good night, Miss Lily! Sleep well! Luv you much and I look forward to seeing you in quite a few episodes next week. Enjoy your evening.
No act of kindness is too small. The gift of kindness may start as a small ripple that over time can turn into a tidal wave affecting the lives of many.

Good Saturday afternoon, Miss Lily! I hope you are having fun this weekend. Just wanted to say hello & that I am looking forward to seeing you on screen next week. Luv you much and I will holler at you again later in the day.
Quote StarW:
Quote shalaydra75: I hope this is not going to be another case where posters mis quote ratings. DG was rehired, not because fans wrote TPTB; but rather, because of the ratings dropped significantly. Y & r has been relegated to the mid 4 millions every since a lane canadian fan stop posting. Until Y & R gives lane a real s/l, I will bot watch consistently.
I am happy RW has a lot of support. I think he is too good for Y & R characterization of Tyler. Let Tyler rub elbows with the all powerful Newmans.
Thanks for a mature reply from a mature poster. I know that DG has his fans. I said that Lane don't make the show and Y&R would survive if they break up. Shick, Phick, Villy have bigger fanbases than Lane and do not even talk about the SID poll. There's only a few people who usually vote on those polls, it's certainly not the majority who go out to vote for their fave. And it's mostly the people online who vote and they only represent 5% of the true viewers. I never took polls too seriously because I myself Never voted on these and I don't think I ever will. And I wasn't even talking about one actor leaving the show. But since you're talking about it, let's take Shemar Moore for example... He was extremely popular on Y&R and when he left he took one million fans with him, that's a fact... The show still went on just fine. Same with Michelle Stafford when she left the show years ago. Victoria Rowell was a popular character too and if she was ever coming back to this show the ratings would go Gold and TPTB knows that. But still their ego matters the most in this case so it makes me wonder if they actually care about the ratings? They fired DG in the first place because he had no purpose on the show and even when they rehired him they kept him on the backburner.
Yep, MAB backburned DG and her ratings never rebound. Lily by herself and Lane are proven rating ls elbow steers. .
As an AA, I hope RW makes it on y&r. If this Tily s/l continues and the TPTB continue to stereotypically write Tyler, RW will not make on y&r. It will not regain its approximately 500,000 women viewers with a s/l where a woman leaves her husband/father of her children/provider for an immature playboy who used her to elevate his career. Both the lily and tyler characters will benefit if this Tily s/l is squashed.
I meant that Lily and Lane were ratings elevator.
Vision is not enough, it must be combined with venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps, we must step up the stairs. — Vaclav Havel
Good Sunday morning, Miss Lily! Looking forward to seeing you on screen again ASAP. I hope that something will get this finding "mystery blogger party" started! I notice that NB is hollering again about the fallout of this wretched storyline. Can't wait to see what kind of mischief, mayhem and/or misery this thing brings to the Winters/Ashby family. If the current writing team created & wrote it, it cannot be good or entertaining. In the meantime, Luv you much & I will holler at you again next time. Have a great Sunday!
Shalaydra, I agree that newby is both Lily & CK's cryptonite! Superman avoided cryptonite but evil doers were always trying to use it against him to weaken his super powers! Same case scenario here. Of course, Y&R also stands to lose in this deal also. The gap between Y&R and B&B is narrowing in the ratings. Whats a million viewers to break even? That can be done in a matter of months.
Good night, Miss Lily! Sleep well! Will check on you again on tomorrow. Enjoy the night!

A Hollywood man was arrested today in connection with a shooting at a nightclub last week.

President Obama on Wednesday continued to cast his jobs bill as the right answer for constituency groups important to his reelection, appealing to Latinos to pressure Congress to pass the bill even if it means breaking it up into pieces.
This time, the appeal went to people invited in for a White House Forum on American Latino Heritage. But it was the same plea the president has made since Labor Day to other key parts of the coalition that put him in the Oval Office in 2008.
In the 37 days since he unveiled the jobs bill in a speech to a joint session of Congress, the president has spoken to three Hispanic groups and two labor audiences as well as addressing the Congressional Black Caucus and the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus.
The pitch has changed little, tweaked only by events such as Tuesday evening's rejection of the bill by the Senate. The president said he knows people expect him to "move on" after the defeat. "But," he said, "I've got news for them: Not this time, not with so many Americans out of work, not with so many folks in your communities hurting."
He said he will "not take 'no' for an answer. We will keep organizing and we will keep pressuring and we will keep voting until this Congress finally meets its responsibilities and actually does something to put people back to work and improve the economy." Contending that the bill would help 25 million Latinos, he said he now sees the debate as being "about fairness and who we are as a country."
As he did with labor, he appealed for help. "I need you to e-mail and tweet and fax and write letters and get on the phone, meet face to face. Remind members of Congress who they work for. Remind them what's at stake here," he said.
Latinos were a key part of Obama's election in 2008, supporting him by more than a two-to-one margin, 67 percent to 31 percent. But in September, his support among Hispanics dipped below 50 percent for the first time, an ominous sign for his campaign for a second term. Gallup had 48 percent of Hispanics approving of the job he has done, with 37 percent disapproving. In further bad news for the president's standing, Hispanic unemployment remains at 11.3 percent.
In his remarks on Wednesday, the president did not hide from the bad news, acknowledging that "times are especially tough right now" for Hispanics. "The Latino community knows this better than most," he said. "The unemployment rate among Latinos is one of the highest in the country. And right now, too many families are struggling just to get by. And that's not right."
But he insisted he has delivered in other ways for Latinos, particularly in his appointments.

WONDERFUL. anything else pickled a bonus. in fact, two long toothpicks full of a variety of pickles. this a fantasy right?! another place called double down saloon on ave A in the east village makes theirs with bacon vodka, and a SLIM JIM swizzle stick. i will also steal the slim jim idea and include it in mine, instead! so that is: gin, cilantro, spicy and horeseradishy/blackpepery, pickle explosion, and a meat stick. a-thank-ayou.
@zhong li qiu: that sounds amazing, i would love a little sampler menu of some kind if it's not too much trouble - i would like to avoid anything TOO complicated (i.e deep fried, etc) but i would like a chicken dish, a veggie dish, and a few appetizers, spareribs included! i live in NYC so asian groceries are quite easy to procure, so any specialty stuff won't be a problem. thanks so much!
i just popped a serious food boner from this one!
obscure? lol...what about those of use raised in bensonhurst brooklyn? i've been eating every cold cut under the sun since day 1, ain't nothin' hip about it, just how it is....
why don't you just skip all the terrible sexual metaphors and go out and get yourself a real weiner?
to echo what a lot of commenters said, THC is fat soluble so you can't truly have a SUPER nutritional dish (that is, fat free) if you want to make the most of your THC. I would say make an olive oil or a butter, you said you've done that already, and just cook freely with it. A WORD OF WARNING: medical grade marijuana is extremely potent and its potency is increased significantly when eaten. if this person doesn't like to get "too stoned" then use sparingly. eating too much THC can result in a trip that many people find way too intense, feelings of disassociation, auditory hallucinations (i've heard monkeys screaming and bells ringing) which can occasionally lead to flipping the f*ck out, or as hunter s. calls it, "the fear".
oh man! @ martinime & @ hungrychristel, those sound so so amazing, paling in comparison to the millionth damn banana i've eaten in the past few days! i'm staring at it right now i don't think i can take another bite. however, i could totally cram a banana walnut bread with DARK CHOCOLATE CHIPS in my face. this may be the winner. thanks lady!
y'know, i DO like grape soda. i just never ever drink it. grape kool aid too - there's something about it! i like artifical flavor with a bit of tartness, have yet to find a grape soda like that. any suggestions? i'm also a fan of schweppes grape ginger ale...and concord grape juice...but again, they are not regular parts of my life.
@steamsoldier i LOVE it when food materializes whilst stoned like that! it's called destiny! once at school, i wanted chocolate, and was waiting for the elevator back to my floor and the doors opened and there was a simply wrapped GOLDEN chocolate bar on the floor of the elevator. like no brand or anything. i took this as a "sign" and proceeded to take it off the floor, unwrap, and eat it.
also, on the same note of chocolatey goodness, a few months later of the same year my (stoned) friends and i discovered that the vending machine was spitting out coins after you dropped them in, but REGISTERING AS PAID, so we used the same dime over and over to clean the damn thing out! i remember pressing peanut m&ms into a drake's cake little round pound cake. something about plain butter cake and m&ms...mmmmmmm.....
i was JUST going to say, who is this shmuck with too much time on his hands?
hahahah, must be nice to only have to eat pizza all day. something about this makes me mad. i don't understand why there is this QUEST for "the best" pizza. there really isn't such a thing. it's all contextual. stop the madness!
lately just been choppin' them off the cob and throwing them into a really green salad, maybe some kale, gorgeous tomaters, etc. so good raw!
lately just been choppin' them off the cob and throwing them into a really green salad, maybe some kale, gorgeous tomaters, etc. so good raw!
holy crap, pardon my fronch, but the tofu dish described above in conjunction with those piggy ears (so closely resembling chichis mouthwatering business last week or so...)
i'm drooling at my desk. i'm so in love with chinese food its scary. i never go to queens and i know that's a total dummy move, i will get on this! thank you!
giardiniera is my FAVEY, just bought all the tools to pickle some of my own & i can't wait. my only gripe with this sandy, as a native of bensonhurst brooklyn, is the choice of genoa salami which i was brought up to regard as "no good". replace that with a few slices of soppresata, hot OR sweet (i prefer hot), and we got a deal...
man, how many people ate all this food? did they have a defibrillator at this joint?! i've been such a lazy williamsburger i haven't even made it over to this place, don't really like bowling, but what may sway me is that glistening hot fudge sundae, something i've been craving all summer and i need to GET ON real quick. right to the face! hope the fudge is thick n' a little salty....man that's the best...
i really wanted to like these, but they have that "bendy waffle cone" thing going on which is a total bummer. maybe this freshly made - with a warm waffle cone bent into taco shape, some fresh hot fudge, etc. we could have something going on. choco tacos as they currently stand are lame! much better off with a king cone...
So my friends and I often get together and cook large meals that we gather nice ingredients for. I brought up the topic of a Chinese dinner for the next meal and as lover of Asian food I know there are many ways to approach this but I would be open to suggestions, anything ya got, single dishes but also full menus would be helpful! Has anyone done this before? Just for some guidance, I think we want spare ribs, but I also really loved the look of a recipe for lion's head meatballs I think that was featured as a recipe on here months ago....
Whattya think??
guys, i have about 9 crazy ripe bananas that need to be put into SOMETHING by tomorrow. my sister and i bought a bunch on the same day like dummies and i couldn't bear to see them all go to waste. i'm crazy about banana bread, so something of that nature would be great, though i'm not limited to that. preferably something i could eat over a few days being that there will probably be tons of it. always love what you guys have to say, so whattya think? what will become of these nanners?
what's your favorite munch? i've been making white cheddar grilled cheeses and dousing them in pancake syrup...

Another story in The Amulet series. Enjoy the previous stories:
Then check out
The Forest
"Are you mad? You can't go into the forest!"
Rina finished folding supplies into her blanket and tied it into a knapsack. She embraced Margaret. "I have to. The king will keep hunting me, and more of the people I love will die trying to protect me."
"But the creatures—they'll tear you apart."
"Better me than someone else."
"Rina, please. Don't go."
Rina took the hand of the woman who'd raised her. "The king will not stop until I'm dead. Or, worse, until he has killed everyone I love. That means you. But even he is afraid to go in the forest. Somehow, I'll find a way to survive there."
"But what about the people who depend on you/ You are the only one fighting against the king. What will we do without you?"
"I'll still lead them. I'll just have a different command base."
Tears formed in the older woman's eyes. "Be careful."
Rina embraced her one last time. "I will. I'll find a way to let you know when I'm safe."
Rina stood and looked up at the trees that towered before her.
Since before her birth, no one who had ventured into those woods had returned. The monsters that resided therein devoured any who tried to escape. The only road through the forest to the world beyond was guarded by the king's sorcerers. The king made certain that his people could never leave.
For a moment, her courage failed, but she thought of Margaret. She couldn't bear the thought of the king doing to her what he'd done to the last person caught helping Rina form a resistance. Images of the man's remains still haunted Rina's nightmares.
The only way to keep her loved ones safe was to take her chances in the forest.
Rina turned toward the voice that called out to her.
"Troy, what are you doing here?"
"Margaret came to me as soon as you left. She told me what you're doing."
"My mind is made up. Don't try to stop me."
"I'm not. I'm coming with you."
"Troy, no. It's too dangerous."
"Which is why you shouldn't be alone."
Rina considered arguing with him, making him go back, but in truth, she wanted his company. The dark shadows of the trees seemed somehow less threatening with him by her side.
"Let's go. We need to get as far into the interior as possible, and find a place to camp."
They trekked for a long while, pushing their way through dense underbrush, deeper into the heart of the forest. It was nearing evening when they finally came to a stream.
Rina glanced up and down the bank until she spotted a flat area between two towering pines.
"There," she pointed. "Come on."
They spent what was left of the daylight gathering branches and building a shelter and a fire.
Rina pulled bread and meat from her pack of provisions and handed some to Troy.
"Now what?" he asked as he ate. "We sit here and wait to be eaten?"
"No. We build a safe area. The creatures don't come out of the forest to attack the farms or the towns. I think they have some sort of magical restraint that forces them to stay within the bounds of the forest. So, we clean out a space in the forest that they can't enter."
"I don't think it works that way. We're still in the forest."
Rina shrugged. "Then we'll figure out how to kill them."
"Right, because that hasn't been tried before."
Rina smiled. "I stole magic from every one of the king's magicians that I killed. My hope is that the magic that created them will somehow be able to destroy t hem."
"Will that work?"
"It's the only chance I—sh! Listen!"
Rina held her breath, ears straining.
"I don't hear anything," Troy whispered.
"That's the problem. No crickets, no night birds—it's too quiet."
She stood and pulled her sword from its scabbard, nodding to Troy to do the same. She opened the pouch she carried on her belt and pulled out a pinch of the iridescent powder inside.
"Be ready," she whispered.
She and Troy stood back-to-back, swords drawn, waiting.
Something rustled the bushes. Rina turned toward the sound.
A pair of violet eyes glowed in the dark, drawing nearer.
A head like the head of a dragon began to take shape, the glow of the fire illuminating its glistening fangs and dancing in its eyes.
Rina waited until it came a little closer, creeping on its huge, taloned feet, then flung the powder from the pouch at it.
The creature screeched, rising up on its hind legs and lunging toward Rina.
She swiped at it with her sword, but though she felt the blade strike, the blow didn't even seem to slow the creature.
Troy, from the other side, thrust his sword toward the creature's heart.
The monster turned and slashed at him with a claw, tearing through clothes and skin. The creature licked the blood on its claws, and then roared. The blood drove it into a frenzy, and it launched itself at Troy, jaws gaping.
"No!" Rina jumped in front of the creature's head. Its jaws snapped down on her arm.
Rina screamed in pain, knowing at any moment the creature would finish her.
But the moment never came.
The creature released her arm, hissing and screeching as though in great pain.
Rina pushed herself to a stand and lunged toward the creature with her sword.
Blood from her wounded arm splashed onto the blade as she thrust toward the creature's exposed chest.
This time, the sword sliced cleanly through the beast's skin.
The creature stumbled backward, roaring.
Rina wiped more blood on the tip of ht sword and chased after the creature, stabbing it again and again until it finally toppled over.
She ragged the carcass back to her camp. Its hide would make a good tent.
Troy lay panting by the stream when she returned. He'd washed his wound, but he would need help bandaging it.
She helped him to their camp and began work.
"You killed it," Troy said, wincing as Rina sewed shut the gash in his middle. "How?"
"My blood. Somehow it hurt the thing, made it vulnerable t my sword."
"It only wanted to kill me more when it tasted my blood. Why did yours hurt it?"
"I don't know. But I think I know how to make our safe area."

Two gaps in the optimality theory supporting current ARIMA model-based seasonal adjustment are addressed. The main one concerns the requirement that decomposition components be uncorrelated with one another after they are minimally differenced to stationarity. Uncorrelatedness has been assumed but not formally verified. We verify it by introducing a model compatibility criterion fitting current practice that specifies how the ARIMA models of the seasonal decomposition components are to be compatible with the ARIMA model of the observed seasonal series. This criterion always supports the assumption of uncorrelated components for a stationary decomposition involving the differenced observed series and the similarly differenced and therefore overdifferenced stationary component series. We verify the requirement by proving that overdifferencing can be corrected for and that doing this preserves uncorrelatedness. Then we investigate whether correlated components are also allowed by the compatibility criterion and give a complete description of the allowed correlation structures for two-component decompositions. We also discuss their impracticality.

Superb ending I must say! Zara ne in logon ki waja se bohot suffer kiya, and I think she had moved along. Going back to what once was her life would have only made her live in history. She did the right thing. It was sad to see Junaid suffer but at the same time noone could have forced him to sign the nikkah papers. Na karrta Fiza se shaadi. Afterall he had his daughter, Zaarah ke paas kuch bhi nahin tha.....Ive seen something similar in real life, to move on is the best solution! Thank you Mehreen Jabbar, hats off to u!

Bill's Corner
Bill Gibbs
William T. Gibbs, senior editor, news, joined the Coin World editorial staff in 1976 and serves as chief copy editor for all Coin World publications while directing weekly editorial production aspects. The collector of numismatic items relating to Adm. George Dewey of Spanish-American War fame has served as lead copy editor for all Coin World books since 1985 and is principal author of the cover topic for Coin World's Guide to U.S. Coins, Prices & Value Trends.Visit one of our other blogs:
Publisher's dilemma: what to add to standard price guides
The caller was excited about a coin he had owned for some 40 years: a 1971 Eisenhower dollar that was missing the letters OL in DOLLAR on the coin's reverse. The owner expressed surprise that after all those years, the coin had not been listed in any publication, including the "Red Book" — Whitman's venerable A Guide Book of United States Coins — and was hopeful that it could be listed in standard references.
Now, I can't speak for Whitman, but as the principal editor for Coin World's own annual Guide to U.S. Coins, Prices & Value Trends for more than a quarter century, I'm qualified to discuss why a few "odd" coins make the listings but most do not.
I explained to the caller that, for his coin, the most likely explanation is that some foreign matter, maybe "grease," filled incused portions of the die. The grease impeded metal flow into those letters of the die, thus the OL was not formed on the coin. Such pieces are common, though collectible, with minor examples usually bringing very low premiums.
References like the "Red Book" and the Coin World Price Guide do not add such coins to their listings for a very good reason. The error was temporary — once the grease wore away after a few strikes or was manually removed by a Mint employee, the die would have returned to striking normal coins. It is also of a very common type.
What standard price guides incorporate into their listings is a selection of die varieties (and die stages and states), and even then, just a tiny fraction of varieties that are produced are included. Granted, a few outliers have made their way into general works like the "Red Book" and Coin World's price guide, including the 1922-D Lincoln, No D cents. These errors are not die varieties in the technical sense; they fall into the category of die stages/states, since the changes that resulted in the missing D Mint mark occurred after the obverse die was placed into production, and not during the creation of the die itself.
Collectors who don't understand the differences between errors, like the struck-through coin owned by the caller, and die varieties, like the 1955 Lincoln, Doubled Die Obverse cent (which the caller repeatedly referred to as "double stamped") don't enjoy the broad exposure to errors and varieties both great and small that we at Coin World and Whitman enjoy. They also don't face the dilemma we publishers face of deciding what legitimate varieties to add to our respective products.
Generally, varieties are added to a standard reference when they are collected not only by specialists but by general collectors as well, or have gained wide popularity in collecting circles. That's why the prime Doubled Die Obverse variety for the 1955 Lincoln cent is listed in standard references while the other multiple Doubled Die Obverses for the same date are found listed only in highly specialized references.
There is another reason a coin may not have been listed in any reference, even a specialty one devoted to Eisenhower dollars that goes beyond true die varieties — the coin may never have been reported to a specialist and confirmed. The caller had owned the coin for some 40 years but I got the impression that he had never contacted anyone in the publishing field about the coin previously; he was waiting for someone else to do so, apparently. And even when a variety has been reported to a specialist and confirmed, the find may not be reported to the broader numismatic community, even in this age of online chat rooms, forums and websites devoted exclusively to error and variety coins.
The caller's coin sounded like an interesting error, especially being on a large dollar coin, and would be a nice circulation find. However, it just doesn't qualify for a listing in any standard price guide.

TJ Burdick will receive the MCC Heart Soul Award, which recognizes students for time, effort and personal commitment to their community through service. Bridie Kent will receive the MCC Commitment to Service Award, which recognizes one student per MCC-member campus, for multiple contributions she has made to Aquinas and the community through her community service involvement. Bridget Clark is one of five students statewide to receive the MCC Outstanding Community Impact Award for making service an integral part or her college experience through significant investment in enhancing community resources. As part of Bridget's award, a $200 monetary award will be given to a non-profit agency of Bridget's choice. The Michigan Campus Compact promotes the education and commitment of Michigan college students to be civically engaged citizens, through creating and expanding academic, co-curricular and campus-wide opportunities for community service, service-learning and civic engagement. Consistently ranked one of the top liberal arts colleges in the Midwest by U.S. News and World Report, Aquinas College offers an approach to learning and living that teaches students unlimited ways of seeing the world. Founded in 1886 by the Dominican Sisters of Grand Rapids, the College's Dominican tradition of working, service and lifelong learning remains alive today in a diverse student body. Students from more than 20 states and 12 foreign countries are enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs. Within six months of graduation, nearly all graduates are in full-time jobs, enrolled in professional schools of law, medicine, or dentistry, or in a master or doctoral program.
