On March 3rd, the world of music lost one of its pivotal figures. Norman 'Hurricane' Smith recorded the Beatles' first six albums, produced the first four Pink Floyd LPs and even enjoyed chart success in his own right.
Photo: EMI"With The Beatles we're talking about something really melodic, whereas with Pink Floyd, bless them, I can't really say the same thing for the majority of their material. 'A mood creation through sound' is the best way that I could describe Floyd." So said Norman Smith when I spoke to him a decade ago about his work with two of rock music's most influential bands.
In 1959, while struggling as a session pianist and drummer, Smith had landed a job as a recording assistant at the EMI Studios on Abbey Road. "I had to start right at the bottom as a gofer, but I kept my eyes and ears open, I learned very quickly, and it wasn't long before I got onto the mixing desk," he said. "In those days every prospective artist that came in had to have a recording test, and that's what we started doing as engineers, because we couldn't really cock anything up. Normally, each of the producers at EMI had their own assistants and they would be the ones to keep an eye on the potential talent, and that's what I was doing when one day this group with funny haircuts came in."
Cue John, Paul, George and Pete Best, who, having been rejected by virtually every UK label, turned up for a Parlophone audition in EMI's Studio 2 on Wednesday, June 6, 1962.
"The Beatles didn't make a very good impression, apart from visually," Smith said. "I mean, we heard nothing of John and Paul's songwriting ability. They had tiny little Vox amplifiers and speakers, which didn't create much of a sound at source. Of course, every sound engineer wants some kind of sound at source that he can then embellish and improve, but I got nothing out of The Beatles' equipment except for a load of noise, hum and goodness–knows–what. Paul's was about the worst — in those days we had echo chambers to add onto the reverberation, and I had to raid the Studio 2 echo chamber in order to fix him up with a sound so that we could get something down on tape."
What went down on tape was just about promising enough to pique George Martin's interest, securing them a contract that soon resulted in the recording of their first album, Please Please Me. The four songs of their first two singles were augmented by another 10 tracks, captured in just under 10 hours.
"I really don't know how the Beatles' voices held out for that entire session," Smith stated. "In fact, John's very nearly didn't for the last number, 'Twist And Shout'. Paul found it pretty easy to sing, but John was always under a bit of strain, given the timbre of his voice. I remember they did have a large jar of cough lozenges — Zubes — as well as a carton of cigarettes, and he just went for it. Due to the state of his voice we knew we had to get 'Twist And Shout' in one take, and fortunately we did. There again, if you listen to it, perhaps the sore throat and the hoarseness improved the performance. It's a terrific performance.
"Up until the time when I became a sound engineer the other engineers would always use screens. Everything was screened off so that the separation was good on each mic, but I didn't like that idea for the Beatles once it had been decided that I was going to record them. I wanted to set them up the way that they looked, in line with their attitude and how they approached things, and it seemed to me that they would be far happier if they were set up in the studio as though they were playing a live gig. I therefore threw all of the screens away, and the Abbey Road management warned me that I was taking a little bit of a chance, but the Beatles performed as they did on stage, and although the separation on each mic wasn't terribly good, it did contribute to the overall sound. We also got a bit of splashback from the walls and the ambience of the actual studio, and in my view that helped create what the press dubbed the 'Mersey Sound'. I'd receive phone calls and letters from America asking how I managed to get all of that sound on tape.
"You see, as far as my side of it was concerned — and all of the other engineers, for that matter — we were sort of restricted. The material had to be transferred from tape onto acetate, and therefore certain frequencies were very difficult for the cutter to get onto disc. I mean, if we did, for instance, slam on a lot of bass, it would only be a problem when it got up to the cutting room, but at the same time we were all a little bit frustrated that we couldn't get certain kinds of sounds that we would have liked. Instruments like the sitar were terribly, terribly difficult to record, due to the range of sound frequencies — the meter would be bashing over into the red, and so you didn't get any value for money."
Photo: John Dove/EMIWith Rubber Soul came more sophisticated songwriting, but Smith also saw a change in attitude. This, along with increasing friction between John and Paul, caused him to quit working with the biggest band in the world to become an EMI in–house producer.
"Up to that time we'd had a kind of family setup between the four guys, George, and myself," he remarked. "It was superb, and you can probably imagine what a great time it was to be part of all that. Also — and I don't want to take anything away from anyone — production of the Beatles was very simple, because it was ready–made. Paul was a very great influence in terms of the production, especially in terms of George Harrison's guitar solos and Ringo's drumming. It was almost like we had one producer up in the control room and another producer down in the studio, and of course John Lennon also knew what sounds he wanted."
Although Smith was still able to dabble behind the console after moving into production, once he began working with an underground, London–based, psychedelic rock outfit known as the Pink Floyd in early 1967, he "had too many other things to worry about such as Syd Barrett". And, having first seen the band at London's UFO Club, he also had to get to grips with their material.
"I can't in all honesty say that the music meant anything at all to me," he confessed. "In fact, I could barely call it music, given my background as a jazz musician and the musical experience that I'd had with the Beatles. Still, there was something about Syd Barrett's songs that was indescribable — they were nondescript, but obviously had that Barrett magic for an awful lot of people. Nevertheless, I got along as well as anybody could with Syd Barrett. He really was in control. He was the only one doing any writing, he was the only one who I as a producer had to convince if I had any ideas, but the trouble with Syd was that he would agree with almost everything I said and then go back in and do exactly the same bloody thing again! I was really getting nowhere.
"I never actually saw Syd taking drugs in the studio, but he had the kind of character that, even if he hadn't taken any, you'd think he was on drugs. He was a peculiar person. You couldn't really hold a sensible conversation with him for longer than 30 seconds. Roger Waters had the best rapport with Syd, but even he found it difficult. I remember them being on [BBC TV's] Top Of The Pops with 'See Emily Play', and beforehand I took them into Number One Studio purely to rehearse what they would do on television for the first time. I was almost choreographing them, silly little old me, thinking they would actually stick with my choreography! Of course, that all went out of the window, thanks to Syd.
"He wasn't happy about doing Top Of The Pops; he didn't like singles — he only liked doing albums — and it was while waiting around for an appearance on [BBC Radio's] Saturday Club that he walked out of the door and went missing. That really was the first sign of his complete mental breakdown, and he never did come back into the studio any more after that, meaning that I had a hell of a hard time with the recordings."
"As musicians, the Floyd were capable enough, but again Nick Mason would be the first to agree that he was no kind of technical drummer. In fact, I remember recording a number — I can't now recall which one — and there had to be a drum roll, and of course he didn't have a clue what to do. I had been a drummer, and so I had to do that. Nick was no threat to Buddy Rich! Roger Waters, on the other hand, was an adequate bass player for what they did, but to be honest he used to make more interesting noises with his mouth. He had a ridiculous repertoire of mouth noises, and we used that on one or two things.
"So, they were capable, but I had a great struggle with them after Syd Barrett went funny and left. They tried very hard to write material — I remember them writing a song about apples and oranges, which I dressed up and released as a single, and that sold about six copies. It was around the time of the Saucerful Of Secrets album, and I really did think that it was all over. We still had to keep the singles coming for the audience that they had established, but the songs that were being composed by the other three guys were, to say the least, lacking in commerciality. Their recording career was going down the drain fast, and then along came Dave Gilmour and things started to pick up again."
After producing 1970's Atom Heart Mother, Norman Smith was the executive producer of Meddle the following year, yet he was about to exit the Pink Floyd story.
"These guys now knew what they wanted, and so it was silly for me to contribute any more," he explained. "I thought I'd done my bit with them and encouraged them to produce themselves — they were producing tape loops at home and bringing them in to me — as well as to be resourceful in the studio. Having done that, it was time for me to retire gracefully and offer to help them if they needed my advice at any time. However, they didn't, because Roger Waters — a bit like Paul McCartney — had the makings of being a good producer, and Dave Gilmour showed this ability as well, and I personally think that the two of them together were a greater force than Syd Barrett ever was. They were able to get back to what Pink Floyd was all about, and the rest is history." .

LAS CRUCES >> On Thursday residents are invited to the second annual celebration and open house at the Griggs and Walnut Superfund Site. The water treatment plant is where "air stripping" technology removes contaminants in order to protect our vital ground water supply. Once the plume is cleaned up, the wells will be used for water level monitoring.
"This event is a celebration of the successful implementation and operation of a local pollution cleanup effort," says interim water resources section administrator, Adrienne L. Widmer, P.E.
"This year, we will be sharing updated data regarding the plant and its operation, offering tours so residents can see how the technology works, providing refreshments, and giving out a commemorative cup to attendees," Widner said.
The water treatment plant began processing contaminated water in 2012, through the joint efforts of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the city of Las Cruces, Doña Ana County, and the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED). The site is considered a major success in cleaning up a contaminant spill.
Brief history
In 1993, trace amounts of the chemical perchloroethylene (PCE) were first detected in two city water wells near the intersection of Griggs and Walnut Streets. The wells were taken offline and out of the water distribution system.
By 2001, the Griggs and Walnut Superfund site was listed with the EPA, which coordinated with the city and county in modeling the PCE plume and assessing how to best treat the water to bring the affected portion of the aquifer back into a clean state.
In August 2012, the "air stripper" treatment plant was completed and went into full production; by 2013 the plant had processed about 234 million gallons of water and removed nearly 14 pounds of PCE from the aquifer.
Total cleanup efforts are estimated to take 15 to 20 years, and will cost an estimated $330,000 per year, for operation and maintenance of the treatment system.
The open house is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The entrance to the facility is off Walnut Street just north of Griggs Avenue, and across the street from the Soldados Athletic Complex.
Everyone is invited to come tour the water treatment plant at the Griggs and Walnut facility, ask questions of Utilities Water Resources staff, and enjoy refreshments.

In the introduction add a couple of paragraphs explaining the various sections.
Richard Ishida suggested that.
Should maybe also explain the history a little bit with (non-normative, doh) pointers to IANA charset, old RFCs, old unicode.org stuff.
Here is a sketch for what this could be. I don't really like it.
The section "Encodings" defines the general structure of an encoding, including its decoder and encoder functionality. As well as defining the full list of labels, the encodings they map to, and an algorithm for obtaining an encoding from a presumed label.
The section "Indexes" defines the general structure of an index, used by an encoding's decoder and encoder, and lists the indexes used by encodings that use more than one byte to encode certain code points.
The section "Decode and encode" defines entry points for use by other standards.
The section "API" defines a JavaScript API to make encodings accessible to script.
The remaining sections define the decoder and encoder algorithms of the encodings.

How important is a formal SEM education in today's market?
I was reading an excellent article about site audits by Rhea Drysdale when a certain segment jumped out at me. In describing the intersection of her college education and SEM (define), Rhea said, "'Internet marketing' was a single paragraph in my Principles of Advertising class. That's it! One paragraph that said that Internet marketing was too new and risky for agencies to pursue it, we were better off carefully crafting newspaper ads and direct mailers!"
As pathetic as one paragraph must have seemed, it was certainly one paragraph more than existed during my matriculation. And I will assume that the same can be said for many SEM professionals out there.
For many, a discussion of the relative merits of learning SEO (define)/SEM in college versus on the job is largely moot, because only one of those options existed.
Back to the Future
Now that formal SEM education does exist at most schools, would I prescribe a curriculum of digital marketing prerequisites to any potential hires? Not necessarily. I'm a big proponent of a liberal arts education, and I've applied plenty of things to SEO that I learned prior to installing NCSA Mosaic for the first time, several careers ago. Following are some academic paths that have some striking similarities to SEO and SEM:
In Defense of the Academy
Many people whose formal education came before the Web find it difficult to comprehend how a college course could adequately capture the industry's rapid changes. Similar to a new car's value as you drive it off the lot, isn't an SEM syllabus obsolete minutes after the toner dries?
But when I get too smug, I try to remember people like Patricia Galea and Mike Margolin, two colleagues with whom I've worked in the past, who teach a class called "Advertising in the Digital Age" through the University of California Los Angeles' extension program. The program is a comprehensive online marketing course and contains a healthy dose of SEO and SEM. By day, Patricia and Mike represent the cream of the SEM in-house and agency crop. So you can bet that if you sign up for their course, you'll learn subtleties of topics that are days, if not hours, old.
Further, many SEO and SEM fundamentals haven't changed significantly in years. The goals of keyword research, analytics, site architecture, and usability are very close to what they were 10 years ago. While the tools and techniques we use to build them have changed, the concepts have largely remained static.
We've hired people with no, a little, or a lot of industry experience, and none of those experience levels have a positive correlation to long-term success. Instead, a few traits common among people I really trust are intellectual curiosity, excellent communication skills, a broad (and not always college-based) education, and a cautious obsession with the unknown lurking beyond the horizon.

Posted by Fate on Friday, December 28, 2012 at 9:04am.
hello? can someone plz check my answers?
1, 3, and 4 are correct.
Think in terms of subject-verb pairs. How many subject-verb pairs do you see in each sentence?
(Each subject-verb pair indicates a clause, either dependent or independent.)
2 in #2 and 1 in #5?
No, I think you're guessing!!
Study this and then try again:
PS -- None are D.
im not guessing, I just don't really understand subordinate clauses
I got c for both of them. is that right?
I meant a and c.
OK ... I'll take each one apart for you. Maybe it'll be easier to see:
1. [The hamburger came from Hamburg, Germany,] = one independent clause; it has one subject (hamburger) and one verb (came).
[the hot dog came from Frankfurt.] = one independent clause; it has one subject (hot dog) and one verb (came).
1 ind + 1 ind = compound sentence
2. [The idea of placing meat on a bun, however, came from the United States.] = one independent clause; it has one subject (idea) and one verb (came).
The writers of this exercise threw "however" in there to see if you're paying attention to the number of pairs of subjects and verbs!!
1 ind = simple sentence
Let me know if these make sense before I go on...
3. When the hamburger first arrived in the United States, it was eaten raw.
You already have this as C, which is correct.
4. The French still prefer their meat rare, but the Germans eat raw hamburger meat.
You already have this as B, which is correct.
5. [Hamburgers first became popular among German immigrants] = one ind clause (subj = hamburgers; verb = became)
[who lived in Cincinnati.] = one dependent clause; it has a subject (who) and a verb (lived), but cannot be a sentence on its own.
1 ind + 1 dep = complex

Thanks in advanced!
what are good questions to ask
Thanks in advanced!

Congratulations on your upcoming arrival! A diagnosis of clubfoot can be very overwhelming, but we are all here for any questions you have or support you need.
The only question to make sure to ask is if they follow the ponseti method. This is key for treating clubfoot. Here is a link for you to read, print out and take with you.
Congrats on your little one :)
Definately ask if they follow the Ponseti method, you only want a doctor that does this.
-if they do the tenotomy (if needed) in the office, or schedule it in the OR
-see what boots/bar they use
-relapse rate they have in their office (nice fact to know, it should be VERY small)
Thats about it, you really can't do much before your baby is born. Just make sure you feel comfortable with them and that they answer your questions. Your little one will do great!
In terms of what to ask at the ultrasound, my experience was they were able to tell us that it was definitely cf, but couldn't give me much more info beyond that. Usually you just have to wait until the baby is born - and then go to the ortho to get the full diagnosis. The hospital pedi and our pedi were hesitant to tell us too much bc it isn't their specialty. This is certainly frustrating to a scared mama who just wants answers! But there really isn't much you can do until the baby is born besides become educated and find an Ortho. Fwiw- I was so very upset by the diagnosis but the experience has been much much better than I expected :). This board and the yahoo groups help a lot. Best wishes
@Clair.St - Can you provide a link to the Yahoo group? My wife and I are expecting in April and our son has been diagnosed with bilateral clubfoot. It would be nice to join a community for support! Thanks!
Proud Daddy of 1, there are plenty of facebook groups too that are very helpful.

Mojave Desert, 1984. During a training event, the Town of Boron volunteers accidentally burnt down their firehouse with the fire engine inside. It falls on inmates from the nearby prison camp to protect the small desert community. However, the convicts have to get a 1941 American LaFrance fire engine operational. It has sat in storage for over 20 years. Being honor inmates, they make a commitment to only steal the parts they need from government vehicles. Donning vintage firefighter turnouts from WWII, they soon realize that the uniforms they wear require that they become men of purpose. Can a ragtag gang of inmates actually become lifesaving heroes? Join them as they leave the prison camp for the first time on an emergency response. It has all the excitement of a prison escape with the fire engine's siren wailing and the most amazing female prison guard-riding shotgun.

Kiowa Maintenance Takes On 'Field Status' Mission
June 29, 2011
By Kari Hawkins, USAG Redstone
REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. -- For Kiowa Warrior maintenance trainers, the old adage "one size fits all" is taking on a new meaning.
Thanks to the work of the Program Executive Office for Aviation's Armed Scout Helicopter Project Office and the Aviation and Missile Research Development and Engineering Center's Software Engineering Directorate, the Army's fleet of OH-58D Kiowa Warrior maintenance trainers is being streamlined and updated to reflect the latest modifications made to Kiowa helicopters flown in theater today.
That streamline involves combining the Army's three types of Kiowa maintenance trainers into one armament, avionics and electrical trainer used in the Kiowa maintenance training course at Fort Eustis, Va. Combining training devices mirrors the Army's move to combine all Kiowa maintenance skills into one military occupational specialty, and better reflects the skill and experience level that Kiowa repairers are expected to have when working maintenance issues in a wartime environment.
"I'm really excited that we're finally delivering this capability," Lt. Col. Kirk McCauley, product director for Armed Scout Helicopter Fielded Systems, said.
"It's challenging for these Soldiers to learn all those tasks. They have been at a disadvantage with the older Kiowa trainers. Now they have a world-class training device."
In fiscal year 2002, the Army combined the three types of Kiowa maintenance " armament, avionics and electrical " into one military occupational specialty. Prior to that, the three types of maintenance repair were separated, with Soldiers receiving specialized training in one of the three areas. The new military occupational specialty " OH-58D Armament/Electrical/Avionics Systems Repairer " requires that Soldiers be trained in all three maintenance areas.
But existing maintenance trainers were not modified to reflect this consolidation. In the new course, student Soldiers had to troubleshoot on each trainer to get their full level of training. In addition, they were working with outdated trainers, which had not been upgraded because of the intent of the Army to phase out Kiowa helicopters.
"There was not a lot of investment in the Kiowa Warrior because other helicopter programs were going to replace it," project lead Phil Howard of the Software Engineering Directorate said. "The Kiowa trainers were not kept up to the helicopter's current field status because they were only being sustained until a new helicopter came along. But then the Comanche was canceled and the ARH (Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter) was canceled. So, now we need to bring these trainers up to current fielding status."
The OH-58D Kiowa Warrior Combined Armament/Avionics/Electrical Trainer not only combines all three maintenance missions, it also provides Soldiers with a trainer that reflects all 10 Kiowa modification work orders since the Army re-committed to the Kiowa helicopter program.
"We are bringing these trainers into the 21st century," said Glen Morris, a contract project engineer with SAIC, which is part of the engineering team at the Software Engineering Directorate. "The software is networkable. It's designed for future growth."
The Armed Scout Helicopter Project Office first approached the Software Engineering Directorate concerning the new maintenance trainers.
To design and build the new OH-58D CAAET, employees of the Software Engineering Directorate used an existing OH-58D Avionics Electrical Trainer as the foundation on which to combine the entire existing fault-driven training features of the Avionics Electronics Trainer, the Composite Armaments Trainer and the Composite Electrical Trainer. It consists of an OH-58D airframe with all of its subsystems, mechanisms to insert specific faults, and mechanisms to simulate the existence of certain operational hardware operated through the use of the computer fault and emulation control.
"We now have all trainer features in one trainer," Howard said. "We've made everything nonproprietary. We deliver everything " the software, the codes, the design, everything " and we are using a helicopter airframe and subsystems that are like the helicopters they are doing maintenance on in the field. It has the same look and feel as what they would work on with a real Kiowa engine."
Work on the first CAAET began in January 2010, and took about 1,200 manhours over 10 months to complete. It is the first of seven CAAET upgrades that the Software Engineering Directorate will complete for the maintenance training program.
"The joint collaboration along with the actual work being performed in a government owned and operated facility has resulted in a significant savings. The first training device is being completed at 60 percent of the cost quoted by the OEM (original equipment manufacturer)," Howard said.
The cost of the upgrades is under $3 million for the first device and $2.1 million for each additional device.
"By using the Army's Software Engineering Directorate, we are stretching our resources. There is an inherent capability at SED that we can draw on to create world-class training devices at a cost lower than we can achieve through the competitive bidding process," McCauley said.
"There are all kinds of synergies here. The partnership with SED is a lot more effective for us. We are getting a lot more bang for our buck by using the capabilities of this Army organization."
Cost savings are also realized due to the proximity of the Software Engineering Directorate to its on-post neighbor in the Armed Scout Project Office.
"Daily operations are so convenient for me because all I have to do is drive a mile or two down the road to see the project, and interact with the engineers and other employees working on the project," Dan Donaldson of the Armed Scout Project Office said. "This situation gives us a better overarching look and comes with a lot of definite benefits."
The first CAAET will be delivered to Fort Eustis in July. The trainer will undergo an acceptance test and then be put into training with student Soldiers. The Software Engineering Directorate will then begin work on the second CAAET and will continue until all seven trainers are transformed into CAEETs.
And, when the OH-58D Kiowa is modified to the OH-58F, the new training devices will also be easily upgraded.
That's good news for Software Engineering Directorate employees working on the upgrades, especially for Andrick Jackson and Ryan Ramage, who both worked in the field as Kiowa maintenance repairers.
"I like working on this because I know the Soldiers will train on what they will actually see in the field," Ramage said.
Jackson, who was an armament repairer as a Soldier, was trained on the armament trainer, which didn't prepare him for what he was required to do in the field.
"There wasn't a whole lot I was able to do once I got to my unit," Jackson said. "What I did in school was totally different than what I saw in the field. With this new trainer, the Soldier will get a better aspect of what to expect when they get to their duty station."

Airway Management in Patients Who Develop Neck
Hematomas After Carotid Endarterectomy
William A. Shakespeare, MD
William L. Lanier, MD
William J. Perkins, MD
Jeffrey J. Pasternak, MD
BACKGROUND: Progressive airway compromise from neck hematoma and edema is a
feared complication of carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Despite this, the relationship
of airway management technique to patient outcome has not been systematically
studied in this population. We report the rate of successful airway management
using various techniques in post-CEA patients.
METHODS: A 10-year retrospective analysis was conducted to identify patients
requiring airway management for neck exploration within 72 hours after CEA at
Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN.
RESULTS: Three thousand two hundred twenty-five patients underwent CEA over a
10-year period at our institution. Forty-four (1.4%) required neck exploration for
hematoma, and 42 of these required airway management immediately before neck
exploration surgery. (The tracheal tube had not been removed after CEA in the
remaining 2 patients.) The average interval between the completion of CEA and
return to the operating room for hematoma evacuation was 6.0 ? 6.0 hours
(mean ? sd; range, ?1–32 hours). Fiberoptic airway management, performed
before the induction of anesthesia, was successful in 15 of 20 patients (75%) and, in
patients in whom fiberoptic tracheal intubation failed, direct laryngoscopy (DL)
was successful in all 5 (3 before and 2 after the induction of general anesthesia). In
the remaining 22 patients, DL was used as the initial management technique
without a trial of fiberoptic intubation. DL was successful in 5 of 7 patients (71%)
when performed before induction of general anesthesia and was successful in 13 of
15 patients (87%) when performed after induction of general anesthesia. Hema-
toma decompression facilitated DL in 3 of 4 failures of DL; tracheostomy was
performed in the remaining patient. An arterial site of bleeding was subsequently
identified in 36% of patients in whom no difficulty was encountered during
laryngoscopy for hematoma evacuation versus 6% in whom difficulty was noted
(P ? 0.03). In 36 of 44 patients (82%), the tracheal tube was removed within 24
hours of surgery for neck exploration. No adverse events related to airway
management were noted. There were no deaths at 2 weeks after hematoma
CONCLUSIONS: Multiple techniques resulted in successful airway control both before
and after the induction of general anesthesia. Tracheal intubation was accom-
plished with both fiberoptic visualization and DL. In instances of poor direct
visualization of the glottis, decompression of the airway by opening of the surgical
incision may facilitate intubation of the trachea.
(Anesth Analg 2010;110:588–93)
In large randomized controlled trials of patients with
severe internal carotid artery atherosclerosis, carotid
endarterectomy (CEA) has been reported to reduce the
risk of subsequent stroke.1,2One rare, but potentially
fatal, complication of CEA is postoperative upper
airway obstruction. In the North American Symp-
tomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial, postopera-
tive wound hematoma occurred in 5.5% of CEA
patients, making it a more frequent complication than
myocardial infarction (0.9%) or major stroke and death
(2.1%).3Although the North American Symptomatic
Carotid Endarterectomy Trial does not detail the out-
comes of those patients with neck hematoma after CEA,
other series have reported that up to 50% of neck
hematomas after CEA require surgical evacuation.4
Reintubation of the trachea for airway protection
and to facilitate general anesthesia for hematoma
evacuation may be complicated by distortion of air-
way structures by edema and hematoma concurrent
with patients' diminished physiologic reserve.5Be-
cause CEA has become an increasingly routine proce-
dure, many centers have moved toward reducing

An expanded understanding is required to anticipate
risk factors for hematoma formation, timing for the
development of symptoms, and evidence for success
in maintenance of airway patency in those patients
with ventilatory compromise after CEA.
Individual case reports in the medical literature
have described various methods for securing the
airway in this situation.5,8–12Successful airway man-
agement has been reported with methods including
direct laryngoscopy (DL), fiberoptic tracheal intuba-
tion, and the laryngeal mask airway. The indexed
literature contains no systematic evaluation of airway
management in a large series of patients. As such, the
incidence of airway compromise, the time course of its
evolution and resolution, and the relationship of man-
agement techniques to outcomes have not yet been
elucidated. Given the diversity of CEA practices world-
wide and the fact that airway difficulties after CEA have
not systematically been subjected to scientific oversight,
it is possible that short-stay CEA practices are inad-
equate to address the feared complication of symptom-
atic postoperative neck hematoma. Our study was
designed to address these limitations in the indexed
literature and explore the incidence, timing, and out-
comes of neck hematoma after CEA in a decade-long
series of patients at a major medical center.
After approval by the Institutional Review Board,
patients who underwent CEA at Mayo Clinic, Roch-
ester, MN, between January 1, 1998 and December 31,
2007, were identified using the International Classifi-
cation of Diseases (ICD)-9 procedure codes in Mayo
Clinic's surgical database. The Mayo Clinic anesthesia
database was then searched for patients who required a
second anesthetic within 72 hours of their initial CEA.
Each medical record that matched these criteria was
then reviewed by hand to identify those patients
who required operative neck exploration or hema-
toma evacuation.
Using a systematic survey form, the medical record
was reviewed for demographic data and information
pertaining to airway management for both the initial
CEA and the subsequent airway management and
neck exploration. Details pertaining to the CEA pro-
cedure (i.e., side of surgery, need for patch graft, and
development of ischemia upon carotid occlusion),
type of anesthesia, and volume of IV fluids adminis-
tered intraoperatively were recorded. Maximum arte-
rial blood pressure in the interval between restoration
of carotid flow and leaving the operating room (OR)
after CEA, and during the period between leaving the
OR after CEA and returning for hematoma evacua-
tion, was noted. The time interval between leaving
and returning to the OR was also recorded. The opera-
tive report describing hematoma evacuation was re-
viewed to determine whether a specific site of bleeding
was noted. Postoperative outcome (i.e., time to tracheal
extubation and 2-week mortality) was tabulated.
Patients who required airway management for he-
matoma evacuation were stratified into 2 groups
based on the difficulty encountered with airway man-
agement. On anesthetic records at our institution,
airway difficulty is typically graded on a scale of 0 to
2. A grade of 0 refers to situations in which no
meaningful difficulty was encountered during tra-
cheal tube placement, with perhaps the exception of
repositioning the head or changing the laryngoscope
blade to achieve success. A score of 1 refers to cases
that required a moderate change in technique (e.g.,
use of intubating stylet and use of alternate technique
such as fiberoptic bronchoscopy or intubating laryn-
geal mask airway) before success. Finally, a score of 2
is reserved for patients in whom tracheal intubation
proved difficult and, if successful at all, was accom-
plished only after introducing multiple airway man-
agement techniques. Study subjects were considered
to have "easy" airway management if a grade of 0 for
airway management was recorded or if notes specifi-
cally stated that airway management was without
difficulty. Subjects were considered to have "difficult"
airway management if (1) a score of 1 or 2 was noted
for the degree of airway management difficulty, (2) a
note was made in the record describing difficulty, or
(3) the first technique used to manage the airway
ultimately failed.
Demographic, surgical, and anesthetic factors were
compared between groups. Significant differences in
categorical variables was assessed using the Fisher
exact test or Pearson ?2test, as appropriate; differ-
ences in continuous variables were assessed using
2-tailed Student t test. A P value ?0.05 was considered
Three thousand two hundred twenty-five patients
underwent CEA during the interval studied and 44
(1.4%) required subsequent neck exploration and he-
matoma evacuation. No patient required a second
hematoma evacuation after the same CEA or after a
subsequent contralateral endarterectomy.
Demographic information is presented in Table 1.
All patients received general anesthesia for their CEA,
and there was no evidence of airway management
difficulty during the initial CEA surgery in any of the
44 patients. The interval between the completion of
CEA and return to the OR for hematoma evacuation
was 6.0 ? 6.0 hours (mean ? sd; range, ?1–32 hours).
Intraprocedural anticoagulation with unfractionated
heparin (typically administered as an IV bolus of 5000
U followed by additional doses, as needed, to main-
tain the desired activated clotting time) was not re-
versed in any of the 44 patients after completing CEA
Among the 44 patients, the tracheal tube was not
removed after initial CEA in 2 patients (5%). Upon

emergence from anesthesia, these 2 patients had neu-
rologic compromise manifested by weakness con-
tralateral to the CEA surgical site. Their tracheas
remained intubated for postoperative imaging and,
after a brief stay in the intensive care unit (ICU), both
patients returned to the OR with the endotracheal tube
in place for hematoma evacuation. Tracheas of the
remaining 42 patients were extubated at the end of their
CEA surgery. In 7 patients, the hematoma was identified
in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU), and the patients
were returned to the OR. The remaining 35 patients
recovered from the procedure in the PACU and then
were transferred to the ICU or monitored ward. Thirty-
four of these patients returned to the OR from the ICU or
monitored ward, whereas one patient was subsequently
transferred from the monitored setting to the general
care floor where his hematoma was identified 31.6 hours
after leaving the OR after initial CEA.
One of the 42 patients (2%) had his endotracheal tube
removed postoperatively but later developed rapid pro-
gression of airway compromise. After a failed attempt at
DL, an emergency tracheotomy was performed in the
ICU. The patient was then transferred to the OR for
hematoma evacuation. No other patient required trache-
ostomy in this series. Another patient developed rapid
respiratory compromise in the ICU, was tracheally intu-
bated in the unit, and was then transported to the OR for
hematoma evacuation. Thus, the airway was secured via
the oral route in the OR in 40 of the 42 patients. Of the 41
patients undergoing oral-tracheal intubation, 24 (59%)
were performed immediately before induction of gen-
eral anesthesia and the remaining 17 (41%) after induc-
tion of general anesthesia. No patient in this series, once
anesthetized, required awakening for further airway
Excluding the 2 patients in whom the tracheal tube
was not removed after initial CEA, the details pertain-
ing to airway management in the remaining 42 pa-
tients can be found in Figure 1. Tracheal intubation
before the induction of general anesthesia via applica-
tion of a local anesthetic to the airway and visualiza-
tion with the use of a fiberoptic bronchoscope was
conducted in 20 patients (48%). This technique was
successful in 15 of 20 patients (75%). In the remaining
5 patients, the airway was secured successfully with
DL either before or after the induction of general anes-
thesia in 3 and 2 patients, respectively. In each of these 5
patients managed with DL after failed fiberoptic visual-
ization, the DL was described as being difficult with
limited view of the glottis, although intubation was
nevertheless successful in all 5 instances.
DL, using topical local anesthetics with or without
mild sedation, was performed as a primary manage-
ment technique in 7 patients (17%) before induction of
general anesthesia. This technique was successful in 5
of 7 patients (71%). Successful airway management
was accomplished in the remaining patients via tra-
cheostomy in one patient (described above) and after
a second attempt at DL but after surgical release of the
hematoma in the other patient.
DL after the induction of general anesthesia was
initially attempted in 15 of 42 patients (36%). This
technique was successful in 13 patients (87%). In the
remaining 2 patients, a second attempt at DL was
successful only after surgical release of the neck hema-
toma. In the 3 patients (from all treatment groups)
requiring decompression to facilitate DL, the time inter-
val between completion of the initial CEA and return to
the OR for hematoma evacuation was 5.4, 1.7, and 1.7
hours. The source of bleeding in these 3 patients was not
clearly identified based on the operative report. The
difference in time between CEA and hematoma evacu-
ation was not statistically different between those in
whom the neck incision was opened to facilitate tracheal
tube placement (2.9 ? 2.1 hours) versus those in whom
the incision was reopened after tracheal tube placement
(6.6 ? 6.6 hours; P ? 0.35).
Data from the 42 patients who required airway
management for hematoma evacuation were stratified
based on airway difficulty, and results can be found in
Table 2. Twenty-five patients had easy airway manage-
ment and 17 were difficult. There were no differences
between groups with respect to the demographic, surgi-
cal, or physiological variables evaluated. A larger
fraction of patients in whom a specific arterial bleed-
ing site was identified had easy airway management
(36% vs 6% for easy versus difficult airway manage-
ment; P ? 0.03). There was no difference in the time
interval between exiting the OR after CEA and return-
ing for hematoma evacuation in those with arterial
versus nonarterial bleeding site (6.4 ? 6.8 hours vs
6.4 ? 5.9 hours for arterial versus nonarterial sites,
respectively; P ? 0.98).

Airway Management for Neck Hematoma
Page 4
Of the 44 patients who required reexploration, the
tracheal tube was removed uneventfully in the OR
after hematoma evacuation in 7 patients (16%). The
remaining 37 patients (84%) were transferred to the
ICU, and the tracheal tube was uneventfully removed
within the ensuing 24 hours in 29 patients. No mor-
tality or adverse event related to airway management
was noted within 14 postoperative days in any patient.
Our research determined that difficulty with tra-
cheal tube placement is common in patients returning
to the OR for hematoma evacuation after CEA. It
occurred in 40% of cases despite a history of no
difficulty in earlier airway management for CEA in
the same patients. Upon airway management before
hematoma evacuation, an initial attempt at fiberoptic
laryngoscopy and tracheal tube placement, performed
before the induction of general anesthesia, was asso-
ciated with a 75% success rate. Additionally, a first
attempt at DL had a success rate of 71% and 87% when
performed either before or after the induction of
general anesthesia, respectively. DL was associated
with a high success rate after failed awake fiberoptic
techniques, and, in the few patients in whom DL
proved challenging, opening the prior neck incision to
release the hematoma facilitated a subsequent attempt
at DL. The identification of a specific arterial bleeding
site was associated with ease of laryngoscopy and
tracheal tube placement. No patients who required
hematoma evacuation experienced major adverse
events or died as a result of airway management.
Hematoma formation after CEA is a rare event that
has been reported at rates ranging from 1.9% to
5.5%,3,13and our database yielded a similar rate of
1.4%. Risk factors associated with hematoma forma-
tion have also been described and include nonreversal
of heparin, intraoperative hypotension, general anes-
thesia, perioperative aspirin use, and the use of a
shunt.14All 44 patients in our study underwent gen-
eral anesthesia and nonreversal of heparin (which is
standard practice at our institution), but information

regarding perioperative aspirin use was not consis-
tently documented in the medical record. Therefore,
the confounding effects of these factors could not be
reliably assessed in our retrospective investigation.
This study also correlates with past work done on the
etiology of neck hematoma formation. Computed tomo-
graphic studies have shown that even in the absence of
hematoma formation, post-CEA patients have increased
airway edema that may decrease the transverse airway
diameter by up to 75% (62% ? 13%; mean ? sd)
compared with perioperative diameter.15This edema
has been attributed to disruption of lymphatic drainage
during the operative period16and results in swelling of
the tracheal mucosa, supraglottic airway, glottic aper-
ture, and the cricothyroid membrane.15The edema may
thus complicate many airway management techniques
including fiberoptic visualization, DL, and even surgical
cricothyroidotomy. Hematoma formation further dis-
torts the anatomy of the airway and makes standard
airway techniques still more challenging.
Forty-two of the 44 patients in our study returned for
hematoma evacuation within 24 hours after initial CEA.
The remaining 2 patients raise questions regarding the
disposition of patients after CEA (i.e., whether it is safe
to discharge CEA patients from the hospital within 24
hours after surgery). All but one patient in our series
were found to have expanding hematoma formation
the quoted 5.5% incidence of hematoma in the CEA
population3raises concerns about the wisdom and
safety of pressing for shorter post-CEA hospital stays
(e.g., 12 hours) in CEA patients who could go on to
develop dire respiratory compromise after discharge.
In our series of patients, 25% of neck hematomas
were associated with arterial bleeding identified at the
time of evacuation, concurring with a previously
reported rate of 20%.17Of note, the presence of an
arterial bleeding site was associated with easy laryn-
goscopy and tracheal tube placement. One would
expect that an arterial bleeding site would cause more
rapid expansion of the hematoma resulting in a
shorter time interval between CEA and subsequent
hematoma evacuation. However, the interval between
CEA and hematoma evacuation was similar between
those with and without an arterial bleeding site iden-
tified at hematoma evacuation (6.4 ? 6.8 hours vs
6.4 ? 5.9 hours for arterial versus nonarterial sites,
respectively; P ? 0.98). Even though the total time
between CEA and return to the OR did not differ
between the arterial and nonarterial bleeding sites, it is
possible that those in the arterial group had a shorter
bleeding time. Specifically, a previously hemostatic
wound could have developed arterial bleeding in
response to a mechanical or hemodynamic stress and
opened a site of arterial bleeding that expanded dra-
matically and was detected before venous congestion
could cause airway distortion. Although our data
yielded no objective insights into why arterial and
venous bleeding might confer different challenges
in managing the airway, venous congestion leading
to airway distortion could provide one possible
The retrospective format of this study makes it
difficult to assess the decision making that led to the
choice of airway management technique in each pa-
tient with neck hematoma. The anesthesiologist may
have selected an awake fiberoptic technique initially
because a difficult airway was anticipated, spontane-
ous ventilation was being maintained, and the patient
was stable enough to tolerate the time necessary for
topical airway anesthesia and a conservative approach
to airway management. Likewise, DL could have been
selected either because the anesthesiologist antici-
pated little difficulty with reintubation of the trachea
or because a patient was in extremis and the clinical
situation was too urgent to allow time for topical
airway anesthesia. Given the lack of standardization
of the clinical decision making, it is difficult to com-
pare the success rate of DL with fiberoptic techniques.
It is probable that some fiberoptic patients could have
been managed by DL with equal success and vice
versa. If any comparison of these 2 techniques can be
is the suggestion of the viability of DL as both a primary
airway management technique and a rescue technique
after failed fiberoptic intubation. Although this is conjec-
ture, the interpretation is supported by the 5 patients
who had failed attempts at fiberoptic management and
their tracheas were then successfully intubated by DL
versus only 1 patient who required emergency trache-
otomy because of failed DL.
In 3 patients (1 awake and 2 after induction of general
anesthesia), initial attempts at DL were unsuccessful,
and only after the surgeon released the prior CEA
surgical incision was DL successful in facilitating tra-
cheal intubation. In these patients with an acute bleeding
episode, we suspected that hematoma expansion devel-
oped rapidly and surgical decompression led almost
instantly to improved conditions for tracheal intubation.
However, it is impossible to prove this point because our
methodologies could not determine when postoperative
bleeding began. The time interval between initial CEA
and return to the OR in these 3 patients was 1.7 to 5.4
hours: numerically less but not statistically different
from those in whom the neck incision was not opened to
facilitate tracheal tube placement.
The limitations of this study are implicit in its
retrospective format. The data were collected from a
training institution and document the success of air-
way management techniques, but the skill level of the
providers was not standardized. Thus, standard tech-
niques such as DL may have been more successful
than advanced techniques such as fiberoptic intuba-
tion when performed by resident physicians. The 0 to
2 airway difficulty scale used at Mayo Clinic was
implicit in the study design. This scale offers helpful
clinical information for patients undergoing surgery.
A patient who has been challenging to tracheally
Airway Management for Neck Hematoma

intubate in the past will have a flag on the chart that
indicates previous 2-difficulty intubation, and an ad-
vanced airway technique is used for perioperative
management. However, this system is subject to re-
porting bias, influenced by the comfort and skill level
of the provider, and is ultimately scored by each
anesthesia provider to indicate difficulty for that iso-
lated clinical encounter. A host of clinical alterations
could contribute to converting a previously 0-difficulty
(easy) airway into a 2-difficulty (challenging) airway.
Only the success of those techniques used can be
evaluated, whereas other potential techniques such as
laryngeal mask airway and videolaryngoscopes can-
not be compared because of a lack of data. Thus,
although the laryngeal mask airway offers theoretic
promise and has been reported in the setting of
post-CEA respiratory compromise, none of the cases
among our 44 patients were managed with this tech-
nique, and its success in comparison with DL or
fiberoptic techniques cannot be evaluated.8Even
among the techniques used, each airway management
scenario offered unique clinical and anatomic chal-
lenges, making standardization difficult. In only 15 of
20 patients (75%), awake fiberoptic techniques re-
sulted in successful tracheal intubation, whereas in 17
of 17 patients (100%), anesthetized DL techniques
were successful. Although this implies that general
anesthesia and DL improved conditions, induction of
anesthesia with an inability to intubate the trachea has
potentially dire consequences that make a fiberoptic
technique in a spontaneously breathing patient favor-
able. In the 15 patients who had successful primary
fiberoptic management, there is no retrospective way
to assure that DL after induction of general anesthesia
would have been equally successful as fiberoptic
laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation before the in-
duction of general anesthesia. It is also true, however,
that retrospective data may be the only available infor-
mation for studying this low-frequency, high-acuity
population. As such, continuing study and updated
reports of the success or failure of additional airway
techniques may enlarge the understanding of this patho-
physiology and assist with the safe management of
patients requiring airway management for neck hema-
toma after CEA. Finally, the authors are aware of at least
not require operative intervention. There may have been
others as well. Our methods would not retrospectively
detect such patients (whether they had airway compro-
mise from postoperative neck hematoma, other sources
management but did not return to the OR for hematoma
In summary, based on an analysis of this 42 patient
series, it seems that although post-CEA neck hema-
toma may introduce potentially life-threatening air-
way compromise in patients with previously simple
airway management, multiple techniques resulted in
successful airway control. This 10-year experience and
established clinical guidelines18support a stepwise
approach to the studied population. A stable patient
may prudently be managed by maintenance of spon-
taneous ventilation while awake fiberoptic intubation
of the trachea is performed. However, if fiberoptic
intubation is unsuccessful or if the patient is physio-
logically unstable, our results suggest that DL (with
the patient either awake or after induction of general
anesthesia), and possible decompression of the trachea
by opening of the surgical incision, will likely be
successful. In closely monitored patients receiving
timely airway assessment and management, emer-
gency tracheotomy is rarely required.

Researchers led by MIT professor Daniel Nocera have produced something they're calling an "artificial leaf": Like living leaves, the device can turn the energy of sunlight directly into a chemical fuel that can be stored and used later as an energy source.
The artificial leaf — a silicon solar cell with different catalytic materials bonded onto its two sides — needs no external wires or control circuits to operate. Simply placed in a container of water and exposed to sunlight, it quickly begins to generate streams of bubbles: oxygen bubbles from one side and hydrogen bubbles from the other.
If placed in a container that has a barrier to separate the two sides, the two streams of bubbles can be collected and stored, and used later to deliver power: for example, by feeding them into a fuel cell that combines them once again into water while delivering an electric current.

Chances of settlement slim in Apple, Samsung patent trial
With both sides having presented their cases in the high-profile Apple and Samsung patent suit, it's almost time for the jury to begin deliberation. Before that happens, however, Judge Lucy Koh has asked both companies to either narrow their claims for the jury or attempt to reach a settlement. Unfortunately (and somewhat unsurprisingly) it looks like neither of those will be happening.

I shot FP4+ because I wanted to try it out. Heard many good things about the film on this forum. My metering technique was sunny 16. So for hazy sun I go one stop down. F11 at 1/250th for most of them. Sometimes when I wanted to freeze the waves I shot it at f8 and 1/500th.
I shot Tri-X 400 at 400 a few week back. (I like those results better somehow) See here: https://flic.kr/s/aHsjYtemJF
Although this was also with flash mostly and on the GR1v.
