A Utah Department of Transportation road project that is presently going on will result in improved roads throughout much of Price City.
The project includes the rotomill and asphalt overlay of parts of 100 North in Price, most of Main Street and portions of SR-10 (Carbon Ave).
Nielson Construction has begun the project with the construction of 50 pedestrian ramps that will be located throughout the project. Once the rotomill and asphalt overlay portion of the project begins the plans include the closing of approximately three-block sections of road at a time to all but business traffic.
The project is expected to be complete 45 days after construction begins and to facilitate the quick completion of the project and minimize the impact to residents, construction crews will at times work day and evening shifts.
Areas impacted by the improvement project include 100 North (near Holiday Inn) to 300 East. At 300 East the project will proceed to Main Street and continue to south Price, ending on SR-55 near the SR-6 onramp. On SR-10 the project will begin near Kilfoyle Krafts and continue to 100 North.
Completion of the project will require some road closures during heavy equipment and excavation portions of the job. Work will be underway during daylight and evening hours Monday-Friday. Traffic control personnel will be on hand to facilitate the flow of traffic and project signs will be in place to direct motorists through the project zone.
Nielson Construction project supervisors will strive to reduce the problems of dust and traffic congestion through the construction zone.
The management of the company realizes that road construction projects by their very nature prove to be inconvenient to those that utilize the road. Nielson Construction's Public Information Office is available to address the concerns and comments of the public throughout the construction project.
For project comments or inquiries, please call James Davis or Wayne McCandless at the Nielson Construction Public Information Office, 435-6872494, ext. 128.

A little noisy but still worth it
I purchased this Bev air glass and plate chiller as a gift for my husband as he loves his beer in cold frosty mugs. This fit perfectly behind the bar and has been serving up great frosty mugs since Christmas. The only drawback is that when it runs it's a little noisy but worth it.

(Slightly off topic) I do not know why but I always walk right by the New Belgium beers. A friend has been trying to get me to try 1554 for months but I keep not buying it. Not sure why other than perhaps the few brews I have had from them were just not my type. Ranger IPA was pretty good though. (Back on topic) The Ryan Sullivan's from Moylan's sounds like my kind of beer. Packed with flavor, yet not out of whack.

So there are news that OGP will be blocking new South American players from playing LS starting next week. It also mentions that it's due to "licensing issues" and that a "South American server will come in the future". Does this mean another company has bought the license (or is working on it), or is OGP planning on actually hosting a separate server for South America?
I understand you can't disclose much information but it's rather suspicious how OGP decided to IP block several months after full release.

FAIRBAULT, Minn. - The Creighton men's soccer team battled Minnesota United FC of the NASL to a 2-2 tie on Saturday, March 22.
Creighton's first spring contest of the 2014 was played at the soccer bubble at Shattuck-St. Mary's, where three current Creighton players attended high school (Christian Blandon, David Abidor and Lucas Stauffer).
The first half saw a high level of intensity from both sides, Creighton scored both goals in first half via forcing Minnesota FC turnovers. Fabian Herbers scored the first goal, unassisted as he stripped a Minnesota United player of the ball and proceeded to beat another defender and have a shot on goal.

Minnesota FC had two opportunities on goal in the first half; however, Connor Sparrow saved both chances.
The second half saw personnel changes from both teams. Minnesota scored both goals in the second half; one in the run of play and the second goal was the result of a PK.
Creighton had several opportunities to get a third goal in the waning minutes of the second half, however Minnesota United withstood the pressure and the game concluded as a 2-2 draw.
Four former Creighton players participated for Minnesota FC in the match (Brian Kallman, Brent Kallman, Greg Jordan and Tyler Polak).Creighton's next match is this Saturday, March 29th, 2014 at 7:00pm vs. Denver. Admission to the game is free.

The Virgin Spring
1960. Sweden. Directed by Ingmar Bergman. With Max von Sydow, Birgitta Valberg, Gunnel Lindblom, Birgitta Pettersson. Bergman's Oscar-winning, foreboding, medieval epic is stunningly beautiful in its depiction of nature, but it marks the last time, for a while, that reality would override the director's personal obsessions. Aside from The Naked Night seven years earlier, this marked the beginning of a two-decade collaboration with the master cinematographer Sven Nykvist. In Swedish; English subtitles. 88 min.

MASSENA A deal that has been in the works for well over 10 years finally may be coming to fruition: Alcoa has received authorization from the federal Environmental Protection Agency to release several hundred acres of land to the town of Massena.
Town Supervisor Joseph D. Gray said he recently received word from Alcoa that the companys property has been given a clean bill of health by the EPA.
In exchange for the parcel on Horton Road, Mr. Gray said, the town could give Alcoa a parcel adjacent to its plant on Route 131.
Theyre willing to give us a substantially larger amount of land on the Horton Road, Mr. Gray said, adding that the idea of creating an industrial park there is something that has been discussed for a long time.
Thats a long ways out, he said. I dont know if we want to make a decision tonight, but I would certainly like to do it within a month.
Councilman Thomas C. Miller wondered what Alcoas interest in the land on Route 131 is.
What do they want it for? he asked.
I dont know, Councilman Charles A. Raiti replied.
W. Gary Edwards, who served as town supervisor before Mr. Gray, noted the parcel the town is slated to give up would offer Alcoa contiguous property along Route 131.
A decision to approve the deal was not made Wednesday night. Mr. Gray said he would drive by both parcels, and suggested board members do the same before meeting again next week.
Lets do some research, and Ill get back to you, he said.

Safe-T-Grip™ Non-Slip Diamond Plate Rolled Rubber – Light Duty 1/4" – Looking for something different in recycled rolled rubber? A raised diamond plate finish adds a beautiful,
industrial look while increasing foot traction. Our 1/4" thickness is suitable for select applications in residential and commercial locations. Use as a non-slip floor runner in gyms, commercial buildings or recreational events.
Rubber flooring is slip resistant by nature. But when you add a raised diamond plate pattern this anti-slip benefit is greatly amplified. Many of our customers purchase our diamond plate rolls to install in high traffic areas in gyms, industrial buildings, warehouses and other locations. It can be adhered to wood and concrete sub-floors with either flooring tape (carpet tape) or a liquid, trowel on rubber adhesive like our Chemrex CX-941. For less permanent installs, use the flooring tape.
What is Tire/Plast? Ironcompany® American Made Diamond Plate Rubber Flooring Rolls are manufactured from a 50/50 combination of recycled rubber and plastic. Most recycled gym flooring products are made from 100% crumb rubber that is bonded together by urethane. Our diamond plate material also incorporates plastic which gives the finish a smooth, non-porous appearance while greatly increasing the tensile strength. The plastic increases the wear life of the product and makes it impervious to spilled liquids such as water, oil and grease.
What applications are suitable for 1/4" thick rubber? 1/4" light commercial rolled rubber works well in areas that experience weight drop from lighter dumbbells and barbells. Weight machines that are plate loaded or that have weight stacks can be placed on top without cutting, tearing or damaging the surface. Use in garage gyms and training studios.

The present invention relates generally to medical devices. More particularly, the invention relates to methods and devices for augmenting blood flow to a patient's vasculature. More particularly, the invention relates to apparatus and methods which provide partial obstruction ("coarctation") to aortic blood flow to augment cerebral perfusion in patients with global or focal ischemia. The devices and methods also provide mechanisms for continuous constriction and variable blood flow through the aorta.
Patients experiencing cerebral ischemia often suffer from disabilities ranging from transient neurological deficit to irreversible damage (stroke) or death. Cerebral ischemia, i.e., reduction or cessation of blood flow to the central nervous system, can be characterized as either global or focal. Global cerebral ischemia refers to reduction of blood flow within the cerebral vasculature resulting from systemic circulatory failure caused by, e.g., shock, cardiac failure, or cardiac arrest. Shock is the state in which failure of the circulatory system to maintain adequate cellular perfusion results in reduction of oxygen and nutrients to tissues. Within minutes of circulatory failure, tissues become ischemic, particularly in the heart and brain.
The most common form of shock is cardiogenic shock, which results from severe depression of cardiac performance. The most frequent cause of cardiogenic shock is myocardial infarction with loss of substantial muscle mass. Pump failure can also result from acute myocarditis or from depression of myocardial contractility following cardiac arrest or prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass. Mechanical abnormalities, such as severe valvular stenosis, massive aortic or mitral regurgitation, acutely acquired ventricular septal defects, can also cause cardiogenic shock by reducing cardiac output. Additional causes of cardiogenic shock include cardiac arrhythmia, such as ventricular fibrillation.
Treatment of global cerebral ischemia involves treating the source of the systemic circulatory failure and ensuring adequate perfusion to the central nervous system. For example, treatment of cardiogenic shock due to prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass consists of cardiovascular support with the combination of inotropic agents such as dopamine, dobutamine, or amrinone and intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation. Vasoconstrictors, such as norepinephrine, are also administered systemically to maintain systolic blood pressure (at approximately above 80 mmHg). Unfortunately, these agents produce a pressure at the expense of flow, particularly blood flow to small vessels such as the renal arteries. The use of the vasoconstrictors is, therefore, associated with significant side effects, such as acute renal failure.
Focal cerebral ischemia refers to cessation or reduction of blood flow within the cerebral vasculature resulting from a partial or complete occlusion in the intracranial or extracranial cerebral arteries. Such occlusion typically results in stroke, a syndrome characterized by the acute onset of a neurological deficit that persists for at least 24 hours, reflecting focal involvement of the central nervous system and is the result of a disturbance of the cerebral circulation. Other causes of focal cerebral ischemia include vasospasm due to subarachnoid hemorrhage or iatrogenic intervention.
Traditionally, emergent management of acute ischemic stroke consists of mainly general supportive care, e.g. hydration, monitoring neurological status, blood pressure control, and/or anti-platelet or anti-coagulation therapy. Heparin has been administered to stroke patients with limited and inconsistent effectiveness. In some circumstances, the ischemia resolves itself over a period of time due to the fact that some thrombi get absorbed into the circulation, or fragment and travel distally over a period of a few days. In June 1996, the Food and Drug Administration approved the use of tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) or Activase�, for treating acute stroke. However, treatment with systemic t-PA is associated with increased risk of intracerebral hemorrhage and other hemorrhagic complications. Aside from the administration of thrombolytic agents and heparin, there are no therapeutic options currently on the market for patients suffering from occlusion focal cerebral ischemia. Vasospasm may be partially responsive to vasodilating agents. The newly developing field of neurovascular surgery, which involves placing minimally invasive devices within the carotid arteries to physically remove the offending lesion may provide a therapeutic option for these patients in the future, although this kind of manipulation may lead to vasospasm itself.
In both global and focal ischemia, patients develop neurologic deficits due to the reduction in cerebral blood flow. Treatments should include measures to increase blood flow to the cerebral vasculature to maintain viability of neural tissue, thereby increasing the length of time available for interventional treatment and minimizing neurologic deficit while waiting for resolution of the ischemia. Augmenting blood flow to the cerebral vasculature is not only useful in treating cerebral ischemia, but may also be useful during interventional procedures, such as carotid angioplasty, stenting or endarterectomy, which might otherwise result in focal cerebral ischemia, and also cardiac procedures which may result in global cerebral ischemia, such as cardiac catheterization, electrophysiologic studies, and angioplasty.
New devices and methods are thus needed for augmentation of cerebral blood flow in treating patients with either global or focal ischemia caused by reduced perfusion, thereby minimizing neurologic deficits.
The invention provides vascular constriction devices and methods for augmenting blood flow to a patient's cerebral vasculature, including the carotid and vertebral arteries. The devices constructed according to the present invention comprise a constricting mechanism distally mounted on a catheter for delivery to a vessel, such as the aorta. The constrictor is collapsed to facilitate insertion into and removal from the vessel, and expanded during use to restrict blood flow. When expanded, the constrictor has a maximum periphery that conforms to the inner wall of the vessel, thereby providing a sealed contact between it and the vessel wall. The constrictor typically has a blood conduit allowing blood flow from a location upstream to a location downstream. The devices further include a variable flow mechanism in operative association with the blood conduit, thereby allowing blood flow through the conduit to be adjusted and controlled. The devices can optionally include a manometer and/or pressure limiter to provide feedback to the variable flow mechanism for precise control of the upstream and downstream blood pressure. Other medical devices, such as an infusion, atherectomy, angioplasty, hypothermia catheters or devices (selective cerebral hypothermia with or without systemic hypothermia, and typically hypothermia will be combined with measures to increase perfusion to overcome the decreased cerebral blood flow caused by the hypothermia, such that hypothermia and coarctation are complimentary), or electrophysiologic study (EPS) catheter, can be introduced through the constrictor to insert in the vessel to provide therapeutic interventions at any site rostrally.
In a preferred embodiment, the expandable constrictor comprises an outer conical shell and an inner conical shell. Each shell has an apex and an open base to receive blood flow. One or a plurality of ports traverses the walls of the two conical shells. Blood flows through the open base and through the ports. The inner shell can be rotated relative to the outer shell so that the ports align or misalign with the ports in the outer shell to allow variable blood flow past the occluder, thereby providing adjustable and controlled flow. The inner shell is rotated by a rotating mechanism, e.g., a torque cable disposed within the elongate tube and coupled to the inner shell. The constrictor can be expanded by, e.g., a resilient pre-shaped ring, graduated rings, or a beveled lip formed at the base of the shell, and collapsed by, e.g., pull wires distally affixed to the occluder or a guide sheath.
In another embodiment, the outer conical shell includes a plurality of resilient flaps, which are pivotally affixed to the base or the apex and can be displaced to variably control blood flow through the conduit. The flaps can be displaced by a plurality of pull wires affixed to the flaps.
In still another embodiment, the constrictor comprises a first cylindrical balloon mounted to a distal end of the catheter, and a second toroidal balloon disposed about the cylindrical balloon. The chamber of the first balloon communicates with an inflation lumen. Blood flow occurs through the cylindrical balloon and through the center of the toroidal balloon. The toroidal balloon is expanded by inflation through a second and independent inflation lumen to reduce blood flow through the cylindrical balloon. In this manner, the first balloon provides an inflatable sleeve and the second toroidal balloon provides variable control of blood flow through the sleeve. Other embodiments include an expandable sleeve (not a balloon) surrounded by a toroidal balloon for adjustably constricting the flow of blood through the cylindrical sleeve.
In a preferred method, the occlusion devices described above are inserted into the descending aorta through an incision on a peripheral artery, such as the femoral, subclavian, axillary or radial artery, in a patient suffering from global or focal cerebral ischemia, during cardiac surgery (including any operation on the heart, with or without CPB), or during aortic surgery (during circulatory arrest, as for aortic arch surgery, repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm, or thoracic aneurysm repair, to reduce perfusion and the amount of blood loss in the operating field). The devices can be introduced over a guide wire. With assistance of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), aortic arch cutaneous ultrasound, or angiogram, the constrictor is positioned downstream from the takeoff of the brachiocephalic artery and upstream from the renal arteries. The constrictor is expanded to partially occlude blood flow in the aorta and maintained during systole, during diastole, or during systole and diastole. The constrictor preferably achieves continuous apposition to the wall of the vessel, resulting in fewer emboli dislodgment. The pressure limiter, connected to the rotary unit and the pressure monitor, prevents the upstream and downstream blood pressure from exceeding, respectively, a set maximum and minimum pressure differential.
Flow rates can be varied within one cardiac cycle (e.g., 80% during systole, 20% during diastole, or 70% during systole, 30% during diastole), and every few cycles or seconds (e.g., 80% for 6 cycles, 20% for 2 cycles, or 70% for 5 cycles, 10% for 1 cycle). In certain cases it may be preferred to cycle to cycle between lesser and greater occlusion so that the brain does not autoregulate. This ensures constant and continued increased cerebral perfusion. In this manner, blood in the descending aorta is diverted to the cerebral vasculature, thereby increasing cerebral perfusion and minimizing neurological deficits. By selectively increasing cerebral blood flow, the use of systemically administered vasoconstrictors or inotropic agents to treat shock may be reduced or eliminated.
In another method, in patients anticipating a major cardiothoracic surgery, such as abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, the device is introduced and deployed approximately 24 hours prior to surgery, thereby inducing mild artificial spinal ischemia. This induces endogenous neuroprotective agents to be released by the spinal cord and/or brain in response to the ischemia, thereby protecting the tissue from ischemic insult of surgery. This technique is known as "conditioning". The devices are inserted into the descending aorta. To induce spinal ischemia, the constrictor is positioned downstream from the takeoff of the brachiocephalic artery and upstream from the renal artery and expanded to partially occlude blood flow in the aorta, resulting in reduction of blood flow to the spinal cord. A similar technique may be employed to condition the brain to stimulate production of neuroprotective agents. To induce cerebral ischemia, the constrictor is positioned upstream from the takeoff of the innominate artery, or between the innominate artery and the left common carotid artery.
Prolonged hypertension often causes ischemic damage to the kidneys. In still another method, the partial occlusion devices are introduced peripherally and positioned in the renal arteries to reduce blood pressure to the renal vasculature, thereby minimizing damage to the kidneys that might otherwise result from hypertension.
It will be understood that there are many advantages in using the partial aortic occlusion devices and methods disclosed herein. For example, the devices can be used (1) to provide variable partial occlusion of a vessel; (2) to augment and maintain cerebral perfusion in patients suffering from global or focal ischemia; (3) to condition the brain or spinal cord to secrete neuroprotective agents prior to a major surgery which will necessitate reduced cerebral or spinal perfusion; (4) to prolong the therapeutic window in global or focal ischemia; (5) to accommodate other medical devices, such as an atherectomy catheter; (6) prophylactically by an interventional radiologist, neuroradiologist, or cardiologist in an angiogram or fluoroscopy suite; (7) for prevention of cerebral ischemia in patients undergoing procedures, such as coronary catheterization or surgery, where cardiac output might fall as a result of arrhythmia, myocardial infarction or failure; (8) to treat shock, thereby eliminating or reducing the use of systemic vasoconstrictors; and (8) to prevent renal damage in hypertensives.
The devices and methods disclosed herein are most useful in treating patients suffering from global cerebral ischemia due to systemic circulatory failure, and focal cerebral ischemia due to thromboembolic occlusion of the cerebral vasculature. However, it will be understood that the devices and methods can be used in other medical conditions, such as hypertension and spinal cord conditioning.
Systemic arterial circulation relevant to the methods of the present invention is described in
Referring to
The constrictor can be collapsed to facilitate insertion into and removal from a vessel. A plurality of pull wires 132 (
Opening 124 is formed in base 138 and 120 of the respective inner and outer conical shells to provide an inlet for blood flow. Conical interior 106 communicates with ports 128 of the outer shell. When the constrictor is deployed, blood flows into opening 124, through interior 106, and exits through ports 128. The occluding mechanism comprises inner conical shell 136 (partially shown in phantom in
Manometer 112 comprises upstream pressure tube 152 and downstream pressure tube 154, both connected proximally to a pressure monitor to provide respective blood pressure measurements upstream and downstream the constrictor. The upstream pressure tube extends distal to opening 124, or may be attached to the inner shell. The downstream pressure tube extends through an orifice in the catheter proximal to the constrictor. The upstream and downstream blood pressure measurements are recorded and displayed by the pressure monitor at a proximal end of the catheter. A pressure limiter, programmed with a maximum pressure threshold to limit the upstream blood pressure and a minimum pressure threshold to limit the downstream blood pressure, is connected to the pressure monitor to receive pressure measurements therefrom, and transmits information to a rotary unit. The limiter thereby prevents the rotary unit from rotating the inner shell relative to the outer shell in a manner that would cause the upstream blood pressure to exceed the maximum threshold, or the downstream blood pressure to fall below the minimum threshold. Without the rotary unit, torque cable 148 can also be manually rotated to obtain desired upstream and downstream blood pressures. An audible alarm may be incorporated into the pressure limiter to sound when blood pressures exceeds the thresholds. The pressure limiter may further comprise an interlocking device. The interlocking device, in operative association with upstream and downstream tubes 152 and 154, can lock inner shell 136 with respect to outer shell 118 as blood pressures approach the set thresholds. It should be noted that although the rotary unit, pressure monitor, and pressure limiter are shown as separate units, they may be incorporated into an integral unit.
Referring to
Instead of having the circular ports in the inner and outer shells as depicted in
Still another embodiment of the occluder may includes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or any other number of graduated inflatable rings. In
The flow rate of blood through the constrictor can be easily controlled by rotating inner conical shell 136 (shown with dotted lines) relative to outer conical shell 118 as depicted in
Referring to
The manometer comprises upstream pressure tube 236 and downstream pressure tube 238, which are disposed in lumen 216 of the catheter and connected proximally to a pressure monitor. The upstream pressure tube extends distal from the constrictor or may be bonded to the inner surface of the conical shell, thereby providing upstream blood pressure measurement. The downstream pressure tube extends through an orifice in the catheter proximal to the constrictor, thereby providing downstream blood pressure measurement.
The variable flow mechanism comprises a plurality of flaps 230 pivotally affixed to base 220. The flaps are preferably made of a resilient material, such as Nitinol, to resist movement caused by blood flow through the conduit. A plurality of pull wires 232, disposed through lumen 216, are distally connected to flaps 230, such that applying a tensile force to the wires pivotally displaces flaps 230 from their preformed position. Three of the flaps (shown in dotted lines) are displaced inward. Releasing the wires allows the resilient flaps to relax and return to their preformed position. The pull wires are coupled proximally to the longitudinal positioning unit, which provides precise displacement of the flaps relative to opening 224. Alternatively, wires 232 can be manually tensed to operate the flaps. The pressure limiter receives pressure measurements from the pressure monitor and transmits signals to the longitudinal positioning unit to prevent the upstream and downstream blood pressures from exceeding the set thresholds.
Alternatively, preformed flaps 230 extend parallel to the longitudinal axis of opening 224 in the absence of a displacing force as depicted in
The constrictor shown in
Referring to
Lumen 306 communicates with opening 328 distally and opening 328 proximally. When deployed in a vessel, blood flows through lumen 306 and exits downstream opening 330. The constrictor may further include an anchoring structure, shown in
Manometer 312 comprises upstream pressure tube 340 and downstream pressure tube 342, which are operatively connected proximally to a pressure monitor. Pressure tube 340 is bonded to the lumen of the cylindrical balloon and extends distal to provide upstream blood pressure measurements, while tube 342 emerges from the catheter proximal the occluder to provide downstream blood pressure measurements.
The occlusion devices described herein can be employed with a variety of therapeutic catheters to treat vascular abnormalities. For example, as depicted in
Referring to
The expanded constrictor is maintained during systole, during diastole, or during systole and diastole, during which blood distal to the brachiocephalic artery is forced to pass through opening 106, thereby providing a continuous partial occlusion of aortic blood flow. Alternatively, partial occlusion of aortic blood flow can be intermittent. As a result, blood flow to the descending aorta is partially diverted to brachiocephalic artery 16, left subclavian artery 20, and left carotid artery 18, thereby augmenting blood flow to the cerebral vasculature. In treating global isehemia, such as in shock, cerebral perfusion is increased by increasing blood flow through both carotid and vertebral arteries. Additionally, blood flow to the aorta is partially diverted to the coronary arteries by using the occlusion device, thereby augmenting flow to the coronary arteries. Using the partial occlusion methods during systemic circulatory failure may, therefore, improve cardiac performance and organ perfusion. By selectively increasing cerebral and coronary blood flow in this manner, the dosage of commonly used systemic vasoconstrictors, such as dopamine and norepinephrine, may be reduced or eliminated.
Alternatively, the device of
The devices and methods described in
In treating focal ischemia due to a thromboembolic occlusion in the left internal carotid artery, for example, the constrictor can be positioned proximal to the takeoff of left carotid artery 18 and distal to the takeoff of brachiocephalic artery 16 as shown in
As a result of partially occluding aortic blood flow, blood pressure distal to the aortic occlusion may decrease, and this may result in a reduction in renal output. Blood pressure proximal the aortic occlusion will increase and may result in excessive rostral hypertension. The blood pressures, measured by the manometer, are monitored continuously, and based on this information the occlusion is adjusted to avoid peripheral organ damage. After resolution of the cerebral ischemia, the constrictor is collapsed and removed, thereby removing the aortic occlusion and restoring normal blood flow in the aorta.
Constrictor 304 is then expanded to partially occlude aortic blood flow, thereby increasing perfusion to the ischemic region distal to the occluding lesion by enhancing ipsilateral collateral flow through left external carotid artery 46 and left vertebral artery 34 and contralateral collateral flow to right carotid artery 24 and right vertebral artery 28. The variable flow mechanism of constrictor 304 can be adjusted to control blood flow to the cerebral vasculature and the blood pressure. Balloon 410 of catheter 402 is expanded in the left common carotid artery, thereby creating a closed chamber between constrictor 410 and the thromboembolic occlusion. Suction can be applied to aspiration port 406 to create a negative pressure in the closed chamber, thereby increasing the pressure differential across the thromboembolic occlusion, which may dislodge the occluding lesion onto the aspiration port and remove the occluding lesion. Thromboembolic material 72 may be further removed by atherectomy device 408. The methods herein can also be used to remove thromboembolic occlusion in the vertebral artery. The occlusion device 304, therefore, not only augments cerebral perfusion in patients suffering from focal stroke or global ischemia, but also maintains cerebral perfusion while waiting for invasive or noninvasive intervention. The devices and methods of using atherectomy/suction catheter 102 are further described in copending U.S. Application Ser. No. [Lyon & Lyon Docket No. 239/096], incorporated herein by reference.
During abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) surgery, lumbar or spinal arteries, which provide blood supply to the spinal cord, are often dissected away from the diseased abdominal aorta, resulting in reduction of blood flow to the spinal cord. The devices herein disclosed may be used to condition the spinal cord prior to AAA repair, thereby reducing the damage resulting from spinal ischemia during surgery. In
In hypertension, end organ damage often results, e.g., cardiac, renal, and cerebral ischemia and infarction. The devices and methods herein may be employed in hypertension to protect the kidneys from ischemic insult. In
The length of the catheter will generally be between 20 to 150 centimeters, preferably approximately between 30 and 100 centimeters. The inner diameter of the catheter will generally be between 0.2 and 0.6 centimeters, preferably approximately 0.4 centimeters. The diameter of the base of the outer conical shell will generally be between 0.3 and 3.0 centimeters, preferably approximately 0.5 and 2.0 centimeters. The diameter of the inflated balloon occluder will generally be between 0.3 and 3.0 centimeters, preferably approximately 0.5 and 2.0 centimeters. The ports of the inner and outer conical shells will generally have a diameter of between 1 to 6 millimeters, preferably approximately 3 to 4 millimeters. The foregoing ranges are set forth solely for the purpose of illustrating typical device dimensions. The actual dimensions of a device constructed according to the principles of the present invention may obviously vary outside of the listed ranges without departing from those basic principles.
Although the foregoing invention has, for the purposes of clarity and understanding, been described in some detail by way of illustration and example, it will be obvious that certain changes and modifications may be practiced which will still fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Ashes rivals England & Australia in same ICC World Cup 2015 group
England will play co-hosts Australia on the opening day of the 2015 World Cup.
Pool A is completed by the other co-hosts New Zealand, 1996 winners Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and two associate nations from qualifying tournaments.
Holders India, South Africa, Pakistan, West Indies, Zimbabwe, Ireland and a qualifier are in Pool B.
The tournament starts on 14 February with the final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground - where Pakistan beat England in the 1992 final - on 29 March.
World Cup winners
1975 - West Indies
1979 - West Indies
1983 - India
1987 - Australia
1992 - Pakistan
1996 - Sri Lanka
1999 - Australia
2003 - Australia
2007 - Australia
2011 - India
After their opening match against Australia, which will also take place at the MCG, England head to Wellington to face New Zealand six days later.
Alastair Cook's men stay in New Zealand for two more matches, against a qualifier in Christchurch - still rebuilding from an earthquake two years ago - and against Sri Lanka back in Wellington on 1 March.
They then head back to Australia for games against Bangladesh, on 9 March in Adelaide, and the other qualifier in their group, on 13 March in Sydney.
The tournament will follow the same format as the 2011 event with the top four teams from each pool progressing to the quarter-finals.
International Cricket Council (ICC) chief executive David Richardson said the World Cup "is the flagship tournament of the 50-over game".
He added: "I'm absolutely confident that the success of the Cricket World Cup 2015 will further strengthen the status of 50-over cricket as a successful and viable format alongside Tests and Twenty20 internationals."
Australia Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said: "This is one of the biggest events in world sport.
"It will attract cricket fans from around the globe and also promote Australia and our close friend New Zealand internationally - especially in India and other parts of South Asia."
Defending champions India, who beat Sri Lanka in the 2011 final, will begin their campaign against Pakistan in Adelaide on 15 February.

If we look at previous history (including Champ trophy) we have two evenly matched pools with three one-day tournament winners in each. Sure, Australia and India with the best pedigree are separated, but the beauty of cricket tournaments are they can often throw a few surprises into the mix (SL winners '96 and WI CT winners in '04). Too early to call this yet, plenty of time to go!

Feb 14th and 15th will have the two biggest rivalries back to back. Aus vs Eng and Ind vs Pak. I can't think of a better start to the WC. I just hope the Associate teams put up a better fight and shut the ones who whine that the first half of the tourney will be boring and long because of them. Ireland, Bangladesh, Zim, Kenya have all in the past caused big upsets. I have great hopes on them.
Comment number 18. Posted by modharryon 30 Jul 2013 07:52
Problem with the world cup is it is to drawn out lasting over a month compared with CT. Why not have 16 teams 4 groups of 4 top 2 from each group to quarter finals, semis then final. Play 2 games a day get comp over in just over 3 weeks sure that format would add more interest.
Comment number 5. Posted by Edin-Nthon 30 Jul 2013 07:07
Very respectful to have the opening fixture in Christchurch.
Comment number 4. Posted by Englishtanion 30 Jul 2013 07:04
England always stumble on a big stage, attempting to beat Ozzies is one thing but they are not destined to land their hands on the trophy.... that belongs to India.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
I have always thought the phone (land line or cell phone) was a bad place to communicate important matters, particularly if the subject has controversy attached to it.
I don't know how many times over the years that I got in a conversation with someone over the phone and ended up in an argument about something that if we had been face to face, I doubt that would have happened. Not looking at someone and communicating, and instead just hearing their voice often leads to either misunderstandings or clues about the other person's communications through the look on their face, their body language, etc.
In many ways cell phones have taken that problem to new heights. And voice communication is not the only problem. Texting can be even worse.
Last summer the transmission in my truck failed while we were pulling our trailer over the Indian Canyon summit. I had to have it towed into a local garage and got my flatbed hooked up to pull the trailer back to town. Initially we were in a place where cell phone reception was spotty so my wife was texting one of her friends about the situation. As anyone who has texted knows, messages can get mixed up. The keys on a phone are small and it is easy to make mistakes. Add autocorrect to that, and well it can be downright dangerous to sent a message.
She wrote to a friend that day "Truck is dead. It is in the garage. Be home soon."
Somehow the message was changed to reflect my demise instead of the trucks. "Rick is dead. It is in the garage. Be home soon."
When we got home our land line and our cell phones were ringing off the hook. The friend thought I had died and my wife had put my body in the garage. It would probably be one of the places I would like to lay in state after my death (there is a lot of stuff important to me there, you know, kind of like the Pharoahs of Egypt being buried with their riches). But I would rather not have that happen for many years.
A couple of months ago I got a call from one of our readers, but I was not available so my voice mail picked up. She had called about an article she was not happy about so she was probably set off already, and I think getting my voice mail made her madder. When I got the voice mail, the cell connnection had one of those echos that I think everyone gets sometime. You know when you are talking and you can hear yourself and it takes out everything from the other end, except this one was in reverse. I couldn't understand a thing except that it was a problem with something I had written that she wanted to talk to me about. Worst of all her name and phone number were totally obscured. I figured she would call back. She did. She got my voice mail again because I was in a meeting and when I pulled the message, it sounded just the same (except I could tell the person on the other end was even madder now). Finally about three days later she called again and I was able to pick up this time. She read me the riot act about me not calling her back. I tried to explain what had happened but she would accept my apology and raved more about that fact she had not heard back from me. It turned out the whole thing was over a misspelled name in the article.
But it isn't just cell phones either. I often get voice mails on my phone here at work with people wanting me to call them back. Heres how it often sounds: "Hi. This is D-l-c-a Heeraiat and I need to talk to you. My nu-bbber is 216 4444 56879."
There are a multitude of problems here. First of all voice mail is not perfect and things do not always sound as it should. Second connections can be bad, especially on cell phones. People call me all the time from their cars and they sometimes are passing through areas where part what what they said is dropped. Finally people talk like they actually have you on the line, live. Now if someone called me and gave me that message live I would ask "Could you pleae repeat your name and number? I didn't get that."
Finally people either talk really fast on a voice mail or they don't have all the information. I have actually had people call me and give me three different phone numbers during a message because they weren't sure which one was correct to recontact them.
We have become so accustomed to getting ahold of people when we want them, we also become very impatient when they don't call us right back.
A number of years ago I wrote a piece about our societys "Microwave Syndrome." Since the advent of the microwave oven (where we can cook a meal in five minutes which used to take us an hour to prepare) we have moved our expectancy about the speed at which everything happens from normal speed to super speed. Cell phones seem to have made that even worse.
Now I like my smart phone, don't get me wrong. I have used it for directions, information and many other things. But I guess maybe we the people, need to change how we do things on it a little. We need to slow down and think; we need to be sure the messages we send through text are correct before we send them. And as for photos sent via the phone, we need to be thoughtful about what we send. We need to ask "Will this be important or meaningful to the person I am sending it too?" and if it is a photo of someone we need to ask "Would they want this sent out?"
The world is so different when it comes to communication from what it even was a decade ago. Maybe our etiquette needs to be different too.

I built a new ski pack a couple weeks ago (haven't shared photos of it yet) and with my pack building motivation running high I decided to move right into a project I've had on my bucket list for a long time. I've heavily modified multiple Golite Jam Packs but have always yearned for the utter simplicity of a ruck styled after Jardine's original design that manifested itself commercially as the Golite Breeze. I borrowed elements pretty heavily from my beloved ULA Conduit and Amp packs, some tidbits from Risk's JJPack, as well as the inspiration of myriad other MYOG frameless rucks I've seen over the years.

Very interesting. I see that you shot those photographs in the factory assembly room when the rest of the staff was away.--B.G.--
Sorry but I didn't feel like asking any of folks around me to pose in the photos for you, Bob.
Looks great Sam! Glad you're back, by the way:)That is one sweet pack. I love all the packs you mentioned (although not familiar with Risk's pack yet) so this is a nice conglomeration of ideas.Will 1L bladders sit securely in the side pockets? I like the tall main exterior mesh pocket a lot. Please do report back with how it performs!Todd
That looks a bit like the goruck factory...
I designed the side pockets for 1L bottles - hoping it works in practice. And yes, that is in fact GORUCK, I am project manager for new product developmet at GR. Good eye.
Nice Pack!Had a Breeze knockoff on my MYOG wishlist until I scored a well used real thing on the gear swap forum. Add a unpadded belt and it should be perfect for my twice annual backpacking trail maintenance weekends (SHT north of Two Harbors)Ditto on the welcome back remarks and good to see you landed back in the outdoor products industry. Color me jealous of your access to that production floor.
Hey, Jim good to hear from you. Access to a bartacker and double needler is very handy. I'll be curious to see if I end up putting a hipbelt on it after a few trips. I rarely use the stabilizer belt on my Amp so we'll see.
"I am project manager for new product developmet at GR. Good eye."Congrats, Sam
Nice looking pack.
That's a handsome pack. The simplicity is very appealing. The thing that stands out to me is the mesh material. What kind of mesh is that? Is that "Leno" mesh?
Colin this is a polyester mesh with approximately 3/16" holes weighing around 1.8oz / sq. yd. While I'm on the subject, the pack body is 200d Cordura, the straps are 200d on top and spacer mesh underneath. The bound edges of the mesh pockets are 1000d Cordura. Inside is 3/4 grosgrain binding on all the seams. 1" and 3/4" nylon webbing make up the straps.

That's a clean looking pack. Nice work. What's the weight?
Darren, I know it's blasphemy but I haven't put it on a scale yet! I did get a volume read on it though and the main body of the pack (below the extension collar) is right at 40L (2440 cu. in.).*edit May 2nd, 2014 - after taking pack out for an overnighter I fixed a couple weak spots and bound all inside seams. Final weight is 13.52 oz.
Edited by sharalds on 05/02/2014 14:03:21 MDT.
I really like the look of this pack, super rugged yet simple. Curious to hear results without a hip belt with the shape, I've been wanting to try to create similar size but couldn't decide on suspension. I really dig it.
Thanks, Jon. I've found that with proper packing and of course lightweight gear choices, a frameless ruck with no hip stabilizer can work great. If you're hoisting around a lot of gear and need to transfer weight from shoulders to hips and then back to shoulders off an on throughout the day then this design won't be practical.
I posted up some pictures and a description of the "Ski Pack" I spoke of in my original post if you're interested.
Hey Sam Any plans to bring pack to market? Ron
Hi Sam,Very nice work on a very cleanly designed and executed pack build. ;-)I recognized the pics of the factory too. All I can say is that I am supremely envious of what you have available to you for MYOG.IMHO you've got the dream job. Hats off to those people you work with for what they do and for what they have done for us.Party On,Newton ;-)
Ron, I built this pack for myself and my own needs. I have no plans to go into business building and selling packs myself, no. Although I do have access to a nice large cutting table and some specific machines such as a bartacker and binder this pack could definitely be sewn on my home machine (vintage Singer) too. It's just a bit faster on the industrial equipment. Thanks for the vote of confidence, John!

Today started out with me Pickin up my old friend Oso Negro and tranporting him to the vet for a big injection of pentobarbital... He left us quietly and went in search of his mother, his half sister and some of his old friends... Oso was born in May of 1987 and grew to be the kind of friend we all hope to know.. He would let you in to my stuff but not let you out... I never worried much about thieves, cause if they did get in they would be there when I got home.. He was that kinda guy... He did not much like being inside and much prefered sitting out in the rain or snow surveing his territory... I lost my best fiend today.. But he will always be there in spirit... Keep your face to the wind old friend.. Piss on a stump for me...Geezer
Reading your post brought tears to my eyes, reinding me of my best friend that left me seven years ago...he was always there to go ouit on walks with me when i was trying to build my strength up after chemo,or just to sit with me in the front yard,soaking up the sun.....i am very sorry for your loss....

Julian G. Cambronero, Ph.D., Honored by Mayor of La Mancha, Spain
The mayor of La Mancha, Spain, presented the city's Hijo Predilecto de la Ciudad award to Julian Gomez-Cambronero, Ph.D., professor of biochemistry & molecular biology. The award, which translates to "Favorite Son of the City," is given once every four years to individuals who have demonstrated special international achievements in the arts and sciences. La Mancha is Dr. Cambronero's hometown. In conjunction with the award, the city posted this YouTube video about Dr. Cambronero's life.
Julian G. Cambronero, Ph.D., Co-edits Series on Phospholipase D and Cancer
The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology's Journal of Biological Chemistry has published "Phospholipase D in cell signaling: From a myriad of cell functions to cancer growth and metastasis," an article by Julian Gomez-Cambronero, Ph.D., professor of biochemistry & molecular biology, as part of a minireview series on phospholipase D (PLD) and cancer. Professor Cambronero served as a guest editor of the series along with George M. Carman, JBC associate editor, and created the cover illustration. Phospholipase D signaling plays a critical role in cell growth and proliferation, vesicular trafficking, secretion and endocytosis. Cancer invasion and metastasis rely heavily on cellular motility, and, as such, they have put PLD at center stage in cancer research. This minireview series highlights some of the molecular mechanisms that evidence the emerging tumorigenic potential of PLD, the role of the microenvironment, and putative connections with inflammation. PLD represents a potential target for the rational development of therapeutics against cancer and other diseases. View the article here (PDF).

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) the leftist majority leader from the President's corrupt home state, believes the United States may soon abandon the Constitution's requirement that the President be a natural-born citizen of the United States.
If Durbin believes the remarks he made during a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Refugees and Border Security on his renewed DREAM Act, the massive amnesty bill for illegal-alien children, then the requirement is no longer necessary.
A story by Terence P. Jeffrey of CNSNews.com tells the tale. The story's accompanying video shows Durbin telling the assembled illegal aliens, whom he and other leftists consider "DREAMers," that one of them might become the President.

Eamonn Kilbride and Morgan Miller had a rough day. Mr. Kilbride, God bless his soul, passed away at the Thwaites brewery office party dancing PSY's Gangnam Style. His wife, Julie Kilbride, was at his side at the Whitehall Country Club in Darwen, Lancashire where the event took place.
Keep the Kilbride's last name in mind when you read this story about Bode Miller and his wife Morgan Miller: Bode Miller had "just another one of those days" on the golf course. No, he didn't miss a handful of birdie putts or lose a few balls in the woods — he crushed a ball at his wife's face in what he is calling his "first major golf catastrophe." His wife, Morgan Miller, tweeted on Wednesday night that the former skiing champ hit her above the eye with a "160 mph line drive." Luckily, she was wearing sunglasses and only needed 50-plus stitches instead of a glass eye. The link is not quite NSFW, but it is close. It certainly is not suitable for the squeamish or the faint of stomach.

How to Care for Your Car's Differential
A few months back, I went and bought a 1941 Plymouth that had been sitting in a Colorado field since 1967, with the idea that I'd build a combination road racer and street rod out of it. I wanted a modern suspension, so I began researching potential parts donors. After a lot of tape-measure work at the wrecking yard, the Lexus SC400 emerged as the obvious choice. My goal then became clear: a complete SC400 suspension, with all goodies attached, for as close to free as possible. This is the story of how I used eBay, Craigslist, and the scrapper to come out $430.62 ahead on a 1992 SC400 that yielded complete suspension subframes and a full set of aluminum wheels. It was nowhere near easy, but it was possible!
Buying everything I needed from a junkyard SC400 would have cost quite a bit, even at low self-service-yard prices, so I decided to buy a complete car. I checked eBay, Craigslist, local used-car dealers, and the Denver Abandoned & Confiscated Vehicle auction for an SC400 priced below my arbitrary target price of $1250. After a couple of weeks of playing phone tag with unreachable car sellers, trying to negotiate with sellers who believe that a fire-gutted SC400 with no title is worth $2500, and setting up an appointment to see a car located in "north Denver" that turned out to be in central Wyoming, I found this Craigslist ad. The key words were "it smokes when u first start it and needs some tlc inside," which (in Craigslist-ese) meant that the engine was toast and the interior was utterly trashed. At least the $1400 asking price showed some connection with reality.
