Radiofrequency Guide Wire Recanalization of Venous Occlusions in Patients with Malignant Superior Vena Cava Syndrome
Department of Interventional Radiology, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Tronto, Ontario, Canada.CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology (Impact Factor: 2.07). 10/2011; 35(3):676-9. DOI: 10.1007/s00270-011-0279-7

Fibrotic central venous occlusions in patients with thoracic malignancy and prior radiotherapy can be impassable with standard catheters and wires, including the trailing or stiff end of a hydrophilic wire. We report two patients with superior vena cava syndrome in whom we successfully utilized a radiofrequency guide wire (Power- Wire, Baylis Medical, Montreal, Quebec, Canada) to perforate through the occlusion and recanalize the occluded segment to alleviate symptoms. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC and the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe (CIRSE) 2011.
Article: Successful Recanalization of a Longstanding Right Common Iliac Artery Occlusion with a Radiofrequency Guidewire[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We describe a case of successful recanalization of a longstanding right common iliac occlusion with a radiofrequency (RF) guidewire. The patient had been symptomatic with claudication for 3 years, and a preliminary attempt to cross the lesion using conventional techniques proved unsuccessful. Using low and medium intensity RF pulses and a PowerWire, a tract through the occlusion was established, which allowed subsequent stenting with an excellent angiographic result and a good immediate clinical response. We propose this as a useful technique in the peripheral arterial system for occlusive lesions not amenable to traditional recanalization techniques.CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology 12/2011; 35(5):1221-5.

Article: Radiofrequency Wire for the Recanalization of Central Vein Occlusions that Have Failed Conventional Endovascular Techniques[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To report the technique and acute technical results associated with the PowerWire Radiofrequency (RF) Guidewire used to recanalize central vein occlusions (CVOs) after the failure of conventional endovascular techniques. A retrospective study was conducted from January 2008 to December 2011, which identified all patients with CVOs who underwent treatment with a novel RF guide wire. Forty-two symptomatic patients (with swollen arm or superior vena cava [SVC] syndrome) underwent RF wire recanalization of 43 CVOs, which were then implanted with stents. The distribution of CVOs in central veins was as follows: six subclavian, 29 brachiocephalic, and eight SVC. All patients had a history of central venous catheter placement. Patients were monitored with regular clinical evaluations and central venography after treatment. All 42 patients had successful recanalization of CVOs facilitated by the RF wire technique. There was one complication, which was not directly related to the RF wire: one case of cardiac tamponade attributed to balloon angioplasty after stent placement. Forty of 42 patients (95.2%) had patent stents and were asymptomatic at 6 and 9 months after treatment. The present results suggest that the RF wire technique is a safe and efficient alternative in the recanalization of symptomatic and chronic CVOs when conventional endovascular techniques have failed.Journal of vascular and interventional radiology: JVIR 06/2012; 23(8):1016-21.

ABSTRACT: Superior vena cava syndrome results from the obstruction of blood flow through the superior vena cava and is most often due to thoracic malignancy. However, benign etiologies are on the rise secondary to more frequent use of intravascular devices such as central venous catheters and pacemakers. Although rarely a medical emergency, the symptoms can be alarming, particularly to the patient. Traditionally, superior vena cava syndrome has been managed with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. But interventional endovascular techniques have made inroads that offer a safe, rapid, and durable response. In many cases, it may be the only reasonable treatment. Because of this, an approach to endovascular treatment of this condition must be in the armamentarium of the interventional radiologist. This review will provide the reader with an insight into the etiology, pathophysiology, and various management principles of superior vena cava syndrome. The focus will be on understanding the techniques used during various endovascular interventions, including angioplasty, stenting, and pharmacomechanical thrombolysis. Discussion will also be centered on possible complications and current evidence as well as controversies regarding these approaches.Canadian Association of Radiologists Journal 02/2013; 65(2).

Bottle Service Las Vegas
Bottle service Las Vegas. Yeah, so what's that all about? You go to clubs and you see these people with their special table and their bottles of top shelf liquor and you've wondered - how can I be that person? Or even why would I want to pay hundreds of dollars for a bottle of liquor that costs maybe $50, tops at Lee's Liquors or Costco or BevMo?
Vegas Bottle service isn't such a big mystery and it isn't just for high rollers and P.Diddy (or whatever that joker is calling himself these days). Knowing what bottle service is, exactly, and when and how to go about getting it is a Vegas insider's tip that's been a mystery for most for a long time now. Well, Bachelor Vegas is here to dispel the myth. You too can have bottle service in Las Vegas and we're going to tell you how.
First of all, let's answer the basic question. What is Bottle Service? Nightlubs in Las Vegas are packed. Unless you're a particularly beautiful and well-endowed woman, chances are it will be a fight for the bartender's attention. Las Vegas Bottle Service is an arrangement you make with the nightclub (or better yet Bachelor Vegas) where they provide you with your own private table or booth in exchange for your group purchasing full bottles of your alcohol of choice. Bottle service comes with mixers, condiments, ice and your own personal waitress to serve your cocktails to you.
Next question: Do I have to mortgage my house to afford bottle service, or how much does it cost, dude? Well, this one is a bit hard to answer. The price of bottle service varies both from club to club and from night to night. Chances are, if you want bottle service on a Tuesday night, it's not going to cost as much as it would on Saturday night. Prices for bottle service for regular vodka such as Absolut start at roughly $350 for a 750ml bottle, but can be $475 at Vegas' hottest clubs. If you want Belvedere or Grey Goose, it will cost you more for those and other premium brands. Vintage champagne and specialty drinks also fall into the pricier category for bottle service. Mixers are included but brand name energy drinks such as Red Bull most likely won't be included. And of course, tax and an 20% gratuity will be automatically added onto your bill in most nightclubs in Las Vegas.
OK now wait just a minute, I can hear your brain doing the math. There are six in your group, so six divided by $350 is about $60 each, right? And you're thinking you'd spend at least $100 a night each at a Vegas club, so in that case bottle service is a damn bargain. Wrong. Most of the hottest clubs will absolutely require your group to purchase one bottle (remember, at $350 and up) for every three to four people in your group. Sometimes clubs even have a two bottle minimum for the table, regardless of the size of your group. It is also worth noting that prices can be higher for holiday weekends and other special events such as March Madness, Halloween or the National Finals Rodeo, etc.
Other fees to consider include what clubs call the "table fee." What the hell is a table fee? Think of it as a tip to the club's VIP Host to make it happen. Typically this table fee can range anywhere from $100 to thousands of dollars depending on celebrity access. And yes, I can see your eyes bugging out from here. That is a lot of money, potentially. But consider that you're really paying to rent your own exclusive table or booth for the night with access to an area of the club that carries with it a certain cache (as well as not being jam packed with the unwashed masses, you know?) and you own private wait staff. Then it seems worth it, right? I mean, that is a Vegas experience to have. You and your buddies with access to the hottest people in the club, with access to celebrities and athletes that might be there. That's pretty frickin' cool. And here's the REAL Vegas Insider's tip to getting bottle service at a price you can deal with – Bachelor Vegas can negotiate a set price for bottle service at all of Las Vegas' hottest clubs. Bottle service is not something you should even attempt to handle on your own. Bachelor Vegas has the connections and the deals and can smooth the way for you and your group at any club in town.
And finally, when should you book bottle service? Think about it - it's probably a special occasion and you're planning to spend the entire night in one spot, or just a few spots. It wouldn't be smart to drop $800 (for instance) and then walk away from all that liquor and the private table and service to just hit the casino or another club. If you hit a few different clubs earlier in the night and ended up at your Bottle Service location by 11pm (most clubs require you to arrive around 11p to keep your reservation but Bachelor Vegas can work with the clubs to make the time later if that suits your group better), that would be a good way to both get the most out of your night by hitting a few different scenes and then having the exclusive experience at the club of your choice later in your night.
One last thing to consider about bottle service is your group's drinking habits. If you're a raging type and your four BFFs are two drink a night types, the club is still going to have its requirements for one to two bottles at upwards of $350 a pop. If your group likes to drink, the price can be definitely worth it, especially when drinks are $12 and up and you're drinking for six or more hours. That can add up. Then factor in fighting the crowd for the bartender's attentions and well, you can see how Las Vegas bottle service is worth it. Bachelor Vegas is your one-stop place for Las Vegas Bottle Service, Las Vegas Club VIP entry and, well, let's face it-if you can dream it, we can make it happen and happen even better than you dream it. Bachelor Vegas's connections can secure you bottle service on the Las Vegas Strip at a budget you can afford. Contact us today for the experience of a lifetime. You don't have to be a high roller, you just have to know these Vegas insider's tips

Las Vegas Bottle Service Reviews
Bottle Service is all the rage at the Las Vegas club scene. You may be wondering what Las Vegas bottle service is, and the answer is pretty simple. Bottle service gives people VIP access to clubs, which is a significant plus because some of the bigger, more popular clubs set aside substantial portions for VIPs. In addition to allowing you full access to Vegas night clubs, your table will be stocked with bottles of alcohol and mixers so that you don't have to fight crowds at the bar (and can make the drinks just as weak or strong as you like). You'll also have your own waitress and some security. Sometimes the cover charge is even waived if you buy a bottle service in Las Vegas. - ( Las Vegas Bottle Service Review )5.0 on Sep 28, review by Editor C.''A Significant Plus ''
There is a catch, though. Las Vegas bottle service usually comes with an intense price tag. The cost of a bottle is volatile, and always marked up. The price you pay will vary depending on the club, the season, and even the day of the week. In the hippest clubs a bottle can be over $300 plus tax and gratuity, and many clubs require a two-bottle minimum. It is for good reason that bottle service has always been considered a luxury service in Las Vegas, even among the elite. - ( Las Vegas Bottle Service Review )5.0 on Sep 28, review by Editor T.''Bottle Service Prices''
Nevertheless, Las Vegas bottle service is more and more in demand, especially for special events like birthday parties and bachelor/bachelorette parties. If you go in a group, the price often breaks out to be a more manageable amount, but it will still be pricey. It's best to research, weigh the pros and cons and then make your choice. - ( Las Vegas Bottle Service Review )5.0 on Sep 28, review by Editor T.''Bottle Service for Special Events''
Some people think bottle service at clubs is a scam, others know to take full advantage of it. I personally love it!! If you're going to be at a club all night with a group of your friends, it makes perfect sense to pool your money, get your own table or lounge area to hang out at and have all the alcohol brought to you. If you're out, who really wants to wait for a busy bartender to get to your order. I love to have a place where I can sit down with my drink and then get back out on the dance floor. Some places are more expensive than others, but my absolute fave is Tao. - ( Las Vegas Bottle Service Review )4.5 on Jan 10, review by Marlene S.''Worth the Money!''
When my girlfriends brought the concept of the bottle service to my attention, I immediately looked for the scam. Finding none, I took a chance and booked us a night out on the town. The ease of the process was almost scary, but when the night kicked off and our limo picked us up curb side at the hotel, I knew that not all easy things are scams. Everything was as promised, and we felt like true VIP's throughout the entire night. - ( Las Vegas Bottle Service Review )4.5 on Jan 20, review by Paulene T.''Stop wasting time and money!''
Just got off the phone with Patrick from Bachelor Vegas, I have not had my bottle service yet- not til Oct 2. BUT I had to write a review because of his spectacular assistance with planning my night out. By far the best customer service I have experienced with Vegas night life and planning my trip. He went out of his was to not only be friendly but understanding and accommodating to my wants and needs. I am excited for Tuesday night at Pure! I now know it will not only be phenomenal but a night Ill never forget! Thank you so much! - ( Las Vegas Bottle Service Review )5.0 on Sep 29, review by Kirsten E.''AMZAING customer service!!''
Well, I did it. I set aside some extra cash from a bonus I received over the summer and sprang for XS' bottle service. I've never been to the club, but judging by the line outside, I made the right move! The staff at the club was attentive and the rep at Bachelor Vegas was more then helpful! It was still a little costly, but I understand that comes with the venue I chose. Bottle service is the only way to play in Vegas! - ( Las Vegas Bottle Service Review )4.5 on Nov 6, review by Ryan G.''XS!''
If you're ever asked if you want the VIP Bottle Service and you have extra cash on hand, the answer will always be YES. Seriously. I don't know why I was partying before without it. It's the best thing ever. A premium bottle of liquor. VIP seating. Front of the line access. Best thing you can get at a club, especially one as packed as Marquee. Can't say anything bad about the club, really, as our seats gave us not only the best view, but also the best access of the dance floor! This was a win-win night for me! - ( Las Vegas Bottle Service Review )4.5 on Sep 14, review by Bret O.''Bottle Service''
If you're going to party, do it with a premium bottle service. Seriousl. The best Idea to ever hit vegas. It's not just hte liquor, either. It's the front of the line access. the VIP seating. Your own VIP host. It's the best option. I did mine for Pure and I wasn't disappointed. The atmosphere was great and we were RIGHT on top of the dance floor. All the hotties. Such a sight to behold! Seriously. You can't party right in Vegas without this service! - ( Las Vegas Bottle Service Review )4.5 on Sep 18, review by Travis W.''Premium Bottle Service''

Great Looking Wrangler Shorts!...
By: MichiganMan
I have these Green/Brown Camo Wrangler Shorts and I Love them! I also have the same Camo Shorts in the Grey color too. They are great Shorts that hold up to many, many washings and still look good. I've had mine for over 5 years now and I still wear them on a regular basis. These are a very well made pair of Shorts with good stitching and I've never had any problems with them. A big plus is that they have a lot of Pockets, and the Pockets have Velcro to help from losing things. I'm very Happy with these Wrangler Shorts, and recommend them!!!

Lightweight, But Still Durable...
By: TexasBEAST
When I first got these Wrangler woodland green camo shorts, I thought they were going to be far too thin and light of material to work. They are seriously that thin and lightweight. But I have worn them for work, driving, lounging around, and even for sleeping, and they have held up. The stitching is overkill, and that's great. If you expect traditional heavyweight, denim-like feel, then these are gonna underwhelm you at first. But I'm a true believer, now. Wrangler does quality--and not just with blue jeans!

Why Wireless?
• Wireless lighting controls are relatively inexpensive and simple to install. They eliminate the need to tear apart walls to rewire lighting each time a space is reconfigured.
• Interface-ability. Operate motorized shades, projection screens, and audio/video equipment from a single, centrally located control.
• Anyone can operate wireless lighting control; no need for a designated office "technology expert."
• Adjustable light levels optimize presentations: Lights above a projection screen can be dimmed for easier viewing, while lights over meeting attendees can be set at a higher level for note-taking.
• Controlling lighting saves energy and money. Dimming just a few lights even for a short period decreases electricity consumption and extends the life of expensive lamps.
Wireless technology has become a standard part of life for millions of people. Where would we be without our TV remotes, keyless entry systems, and cell phones? Consequently, commercial facilities have also been affected. What were once classrooms, boardrooms, and meeting rooms now must be high-tech multi-media centers equipped to accommodate the latest presentation equipment. For most organizations, this means retrofitting a room that wasn't initially designed for the current purpose.
Lighting improvements have traditionally been avoided altogether in these ventures because they are perceived to be labor and cost intensive. Yet, to be truly effective, a multi-media room upgrade should begin with lighting. Nearly all of the information we process is received visually, so a proper visual environment is critical.
Thankfully, the wireless revolution has reached the lighting controls industry. In addition, wireless lighting control systems are simple to operate and bring exceptional flexibility to a space because they can easily be re-adapted and expanded as new needs arise.
A standard wireless lighting control system for a meeting room consists of two simple components: a wall-mounted or tabletop transmitter and a fixture- or junction box-mounted power controller. Installation involves replacing a conventional wall switch with the wall-mounted transmitter and mounting power controllers directly to the first fixture in a group of lights or remotely on a junction box. Because the controls communicate via radio frequency, wall transmitters do not require any wiring directly to the power controllers. This makes the installation of additional wall controls in an existing room very easy. An optional tabletop transmitter can be placed or mounted on any surface and can be used from any area in a room.
System operation is just as simple. The power controllers regulate the light level of dimmed and switched fluorescent lights, incandescents, and low-voltage lights. In many applications, the installed cost of fluorescent dimming is less than switched fluorescent lighting with dimmed incandescent lighting. Maintenance and energy costs are also lower, and fluorescent dimming can be easier to use.
Each group of lights is also operated directly by the user. For example, during a PowerPoint presentation, lighting over a video screen can be dimmed, while lighting above a conference table can be at an optimal level for note-taking. In many cases, controllers will also operate projection equipment and adjust video screens and window shades to effortlessly establish the perfect environment for any presentation. A user can make all of these adjustments from one location simply by pressing a few buttons.
By virtue of its design, wireless lighting technology mitigates any fears that tomorrow's tools will render it obsolete. Each transmitter is addressed to a power controller or controllers during installation, and can be adapted at any time. As other technologies are incorporated in the building, there may be a need to integrate the lighting controls in a room to other systems. This is a simple process, as wireless interfaces will allow the room to be controlled by A/V systems, building management systems, and more.
Given the affordability, convenience, flexibility, and reliability that wireless lighting controls offer, they are clearly here to stay. Moreover, as technology evolves, it is safe to say their future is unlimited.

I'm not a Ford lover per se but I've purchased my 2006 escape mainly due to its size, performance when in the test drive as well as the tires which were on it when we purchased as well as the color Red.
I've been collecting information tidbits about this vehicle and from what I've gathered so far is: the tires will wear no matter what is done with the exception of regular tire rotation (just the nature of the beast it seems) the design of the coil over spark plug is while unique in its design rather expensive to replace and once they begin to fail it seems they go one after another. I haven't had that experience yet at purchase mileage of 79000KM and have just over 100,000kms to date. I have had the rear main seal begin to leak as well as a front wheel tone ring (ABS Braking component) fail during our brief ownership of this vehicle.We
have had it just barely two years now. It was a one owner vehicle as well so...
I had test driven newer models with the 6 speed transmission and I wasn't impressed as they seemed to start off sluggish versus ours which is quite snappy from the get go.
Overall I'm satisfied with the vehicle and haven't had any major problems outside of our extended warranty yet.
I said for a long time if I purchased a Ford or any kind t had better have warranty because of all the little gadgets (ford better ideas) would be not only costly but annoying to have repaired.
I guess there are good and bad with every make and model and it depends on whether you get a good one or a bad one so far I have a good one. :)

Avenue Premiere Inaugurates Noël Coward, 28 Jun
Editorial Staff • West End • 17 Feb 2006
As previously tipped (See The Goss, 12 Jan 2006), the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Avenue Q will receive its UK premiere this summer, now coming directly into the West End. It will be the first production in Cameron Mackintosh's refurbished and newly renamed Noël Coward Theatre (currently the Albery), where – in keeping with its word-of-mouth success in the US - it starts a lengthy preview period on 1 June 2006 ahead of a press performance on 28 June.
Avenue Q began its life at Off-Broadway's Vineyard Theatre before transferring in July 2003 to Broadway's Golden Theatre, where it went on to win three 2004 Tonys including Best Musical. The offbeat show features a cast of just seven humans – three of them playing humans, the rest manipulating multiple puppets that include a closet gay puppet called Rod, a porn-addicted puppet called Trekkie Monster, and a puppet looking for love called Kate Monster.
It's billed as a musical form of "Sesame Street meets South Park" and, despite its sending up popular kids TV shows, it carries the warning \"full puppet nudity, not suitable for children.\" With a score by Broadway neophytes Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, and a book by Jeff Whitty, songs include \"Everyone\'s a Little Bit Racist\", \"The Internet Is for Porn\" and \"You Can Be as Loud as the Hell You Want (When You\'re Makin\' Love)\". It's directed by Jason Moore.
Originally, Avenue Q was intended to receive its London premiere at Theatre Royal Stratford East in an eight-week season starting this month ahead of a West End transfer care of Cameron Mackintosh and his American partners (See News, 21 Jul 2005), but those plans were shelved because it was deemed too expensive to produce the show for two separate venues.
Confirmation of Avenue Q's London opening comes a day after US producers announced that the Las Vegas production of the musical will close after just five months – to make way for last year's Tony Award winner Spamalot, which receives its West End premiere at the Palace Theatre in October (See News, 20 Jan 2006).
Speaking in today's Evening Standard, Cameron Mackintosh said that mounting the London production of Avenue Q is "totally a gamble". He explained that the show would succeed or fail on "purely word of mouth". According to the impresario, "the only marketing we're going to do is get as many people in to see it at the lowest price that is humanly possible in the first few weeks and hope they tell their friends that they'd be fools to miss it."
The Las Vegas production has reportedly been playing to 65% in 1,200-seat theatre. In the West End, the musical will find a more intimate home at the Noël Coward which, at 870 seats, is much closer in size to the 796 Golden Theatre, where Avenue Q is still running on Broadway. Currently at the Albery/Coward, Peter Stein's production of David Harrower's two-hander Blackbird, starring Roger Allam and Jodhi May, opened this week and is booking until 13 May 2006.
The London production of Avenue Q has been auditioned in collaboration with Theatre Royal Stratford East. The cast of newcomers and seasoned West End performers includes: Whatsonstage.com Award nominee Giles Terera (Jailhouse Rock, The Rat Pack) as Job, Julie Atherton (Notes from New York) as Kate Monster and Lucy the Slut, Jon Robyns (as Princeton/Rod), Simon Lipkin (Nicky/Trekkie Monster), Clare Foster (Mrs T), Naoko Mori (Christmas Eve) and Sion Lloyd (Brian) as well as Luke Evans, Matthew J Henry, Gloria Onitiri, Gabriel Vick and Yanle Zhong.
Avenue Q has puppets conceived and designed by Rick Lyon, musical supervision by Stephen Oremus, and choreography by Ken Roberson. Scenic design is by Anna Louizos, costume design by Mirena Rada, lighting design by Howell Binkley, and sound design by Acme Sound Partners. The musical is produced in the West End by Kevin McCollum, Robyn Goodman, Jeffrey Seller, Vineyard Theatre, the New Group and Cameron Mackintosh.
Public booking opens on 13 March 2006.

Like us on Facebook
Nancy Reagan Hospitalized With Broken Pelvis Nancy Reagan was hospitalized with a broken pelvis after a fall at home, her spokeswoman said Wednesday. The 87-year-old former first lady fell last week but she decided Monday to get checked out at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center because of persistent pain, Joanne Drake said. Doctors determined she had a fractured pelvis. "She's in some pain but in very good spirits," Drake said.0 Comments

Google Ranks as 'Most Engaging' Media Outlet
Posted on Wednesday, September 29th, 2010 by Camille Canon Print This Post
Categories - Analytics, Featured, News
NewMediaMetrics, a company that researches consumer loyalty, released a study this month that looks at the relationship between consumers and media consumption to determine which media outlets have the most 'engaged' users. What's noteworthy about NewMediaMetrics' findings is that digital media outlets, e.g. Google, iTunes and Facebook, ranked higher than traditional television and print platforms in customer engagement. The study ranks Google Search as the most engaging media outlet, followed closely by AOL email, YouTube, Facebook and Amazon.com. To get these results, NewMediaMetrics conducted an online study, asking 3,019 participants between the ages of 13 and 54 to grade their brand and media attachments on a scale from 0 to 10. Central to the study is the assumption that consumers who say they are attracted to a particular platform are 50% more likely to pay attention and buy from that brand than 'unattached' viewers. What's even more fascinating than the results of the survey is the variety of media platforms it highlights. It begs the question, is the act of searching for something on Google comparable with writing an email, watching television or buying an album on iTunes, or are we comparing apples and oranges?

Murder accused dad waits for psych bedComment on this story
Durban - A Durban man accused of beating his wife and two teenage children to death appeared in the Chatsworth Magistrate's Court on Friday, the NPA said.
The matter was postponed to March 10 so that a bed could be secured for him in a mental institution, KwaZulu-Natal National Prosecuting Authority spokeswoman Natasha Ramkisson said.
"After his last court appearance we were unable to secure a bed for him in a mental institution."
In his previous appearance, Magistrate Prem Singh ruled that Rajan Kandasamy, 44, should undergo psychiatric assessment.
Ramkisson said space would be available on the day of his next appearance.
"He will appear in court and thereafter go to the institution."
Kandasamy allegedly used a gada - a traditional Indian mace carried by the Hindu god Hanuman - to kill his wife and their two teenage children, aged 18 and 17.
Their bloodied and battered bodies were found in the family's home on December 29. Their friends called the police after they failed to attend a memorial service.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -- The number of reported abortions in Kansas last year dropped again last year - to the lowest point since 1987, according to new figures from the KDHE.
The agency said there were 7,479 procedures performed in 2013, down 1.6% from 2012. Reported abortions have fallen every year since 2006 when 11,271 were reported.
Nearly half, or 3,722, of the procedures were performed on out-of-state patients. Over 3,600 of them were on women from Missouri.
Four abortions were performed past the 22-week point. No partial birth abortions were reported.

Wonderful little platform!!!
By LasVegasLady

Comments about Cargo Carrier Rolling Platform:
I have a tall entertainment center for CD/DVDs that I have to completely empty to move it. Now with this platform I can put the entertainment center on it and just move it around when I need to.
Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend

Prefer casters already attached
By JudyHarmony
from La Crescenta, CA
Have used this product for many years. When used outdoors as a plant stand, it will last many years before the wood rots. I use it for large tubs where I grow vegetables. The present version does not have the casters attached as in previous years. Luckily the screw holes were in the right place so there was no problem.
great product, does what I needed.

I use the Cargo Platform to elevate my feet as I sit at desk at work and on computer at home.My ankles never swell.I missed it very much as I waited for my new ones. The wheels came off the one I had, could not find wheels.I have also used the platform to hold my plants.I am very pleased with the platform.

Plant mover
By Sylvia
from Somerset County, NJ
I have a balcony in my senior apartment. I have 3 of the movers, and I have a plant on each one.It's easy to water and just push to move around. I hardly have to bend.Now I have to figure out where to store them now that summer is almost over.
Broke on first use.
By Anita
from Baton Rouge, LA
The "heavy duty casters" are actually a flimsy plastic, and one of mine broke immediately. The description states that it can hold up to 200 lbs...Not true. I wouldn't put more than about 20 lbs on this. It's small, and not at all sturdy. I am disappointed,and furious that I threw my money away. Will ask for a refund.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

I was serious when I posted I can only print at night, so I can't make any more tests right now, and there is no place I can drive today to get a contact frame (thought I may be able to cobble one together today when I get done wasting my time on the computer )
Anyway I did want to digress, and discuss the results obtained WITHOUT the glass. **CAUTION** this post may involve mathematics so pleas skip to the next post if not interested.
In the initial post I disregarded any effects of diffraction. I am not sure, but this may be an error. DIffraction is a sometimes mysterious process (one of my favorite real life examples I witnessed was being in a jet plane and seeing its 'shadow' cast as a 'bright spot' when we were at just the right distance for the diffraction pattern to show the center of the bulls-eye as light vs dark.)
Anyway, the test picture that was obtained WITHOUT the glass was not outside the bounds of the test equation. That is, the negative was NOT displaced more than 0.5 mm above the paper. Yet , this image is 'blurrier' than expected from the equation.
One possible explanation is diffraction. The pictures posted show a magnified area of the center of the image which is an image of BLADES OF GRASS that are on the other side of a small river, about 50 METERS FROM THE CAMERA.
Using the 'thin lens' formula with these numbers I can find the width of these blades of grass as they appear in the negative. Distance to grass = 50000mm, Distance to negative = 210mm, size of grass blade = 1mm, calculated size of grass blade image = 0.0042mm.
To refresh my memory, here is a simple quote from a basic web site on physics:
"The amount of bending depends on the relative size of the wavelength of light to the size of the opening. If the opening is much larger than the light's wavelength, the bending will be almost unnoticeable. However, if the two are closer in size or equal, the amount of bending is considerable..."
What I was underestimating is that light diffracts more when forced to go BETWEEN two objects rather than around one large object.
I had estimated that the light just has to go AROUND big opaque areas of silver, but, in-fact, the light is being forced to go BETWEEN the little images of the blades of grass. This is causing more diffraction than I had realized. Not sure but just a thought.
OK if you don't like math and optics you can start reading again at this point....

Made In America (original 1994; edition 1998)
by Bill Bryson
Work details
Made in America: An Informal History of the English Language in the United States by Bill Bryson (1994)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Like all of Bill Bryson's work, a cheeky, good-natured, and ultimately extremely informative romp.
This ended up being much more of a straightforward history book than I expected. It rambled pleasantly and expansively through American history, pausing frequently to examine origins of common words and expressions.
I was surprised at how clearly Bryson's political views shone through the text, but since those views - liberal, populist - generally agreed with mine, that was a plus in my eyes. Few things are quite so gratifying as reading a book (or even a bumper sticker) that states your own opinion better than you yourself could have.
Denser than [b:A Short History of Nearly Everything|21|A Short History of Nearly Everything|Bill Bryson|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255682270s/21.jpg|2305997], not quite as funny as [b:A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail|9791|A Walk in the Woods Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail|Bill Bryson|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1275694125s/9791.jpg|613469]. I enjoyed this book, and learned more than expected to. I probably would have enjoyed it even more if I weren't already pretty well versed in American history, but as it stood, quite a bit of this was review for me. Nonetheless, good stuff!
I'm up to Benjamin Franklin and frankly Ben, I've had enough of you and this book. I usually like Bryson's writing style, but the fruity self-congratulatory tone of this is irritating. Also, I think if you are an American you might be a great deal more interested in the entire of history of America as experienced by European settlers than I am. No 'might' about it, of course you are, its your country. Me, sorry, but I couldn't care less.
Does that sound almost sacrilegious to you? Ask yourself this, what interest do you have in Caribbean history (somewhat, but not entirely, boring) or worse, much worse, Welsh history, since its not exactly a history of a get-up-and-go people who Did Great Things (they liked to sing a lot and annoy the English essentially).
Now I like history, I do, especially books by people like Liza Picard and Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, but they tend to keep politicians out of it. Nothing bores like reading political squabbles, at least to me.
Also, the Indians, in whom I have a major interest as all I know about them is war, ceremonies and their problems with alcohol and success with gambling, are dismissed by Bryson with just a little about their linguistic contribution to American English.
I'm not saying its not a good book, I've never read a bad Bryson one, but its just plain boring to me and life is too short and books too many to bother finishing it.
Bill Bryson ROCKS. This book is so interesting. I swear I don't have a single conversation without saying (at LEAST once) "well in bill bryson's book ____ he says that..."
Classic Bryson. While the ostensible subject is American English, he uses both historical and cultural approaches to expose the reader to an incredible amount of information that at least this reader finds fascinating.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0380713810, Paperback)Readers from Toad Suck, Arkansas, to Idiotsville, Oregon--and everywhere in between--will love Made in America, Bill Bryson's Informal History of the English Language in the United States. It is, in a word, fascinating. After reading this tour de force, it's clear that a nation's language speaks volumes about its true character: you are what you speak. Bryson traces America's history through the language of the time, then goes on to discuss words culled from everyday activities: immigration, eating, shopping, advertising, going to the movies, and others.
Made in America will supply you with interesting facts and cocktail chatter for a year or more. Did you know, for example, that Teddy Roosevelt's "speak softly and carry a big stick" credo has its roots in a West African proverb? Or that actor Walter Matthau's given name is Walter Mattaschanskayasky? Or that the supposedly frigid Puritans--who called themselves "Saints," by the way--had something called a pre-contract, which was a license for premarital sex? Made in America is an excellent discussion of American English, but what makes the book such a treasure is that it offers much, much more.

a-riod please retire
I want never to see mark sanchez play quarterback again. he belongs in the arena league
This 189 budget is blowing up in the yanks face . It time to trade either phelps or hughes or nova and get a young outfielder or catcher
I think after hearing this the yanks had no intention of signing martin, remember he hit below 200 for most of the season. They should make a trade and get Brian McCann from the braves
The funny thing about cano is when melky was caught cano started to slump. How can
he look so bad in the playoffs and finish really hot at the end of the season. I would maybe offer him 5 years...
If hal is going to be cheap the only way to improve this is through trades. Trade one of the young pitchers for hitting.
How trading phil hughes for justin upton and through in gardner
I would make major changes to this lineup. I would not give big contracts to cano or granderson. Trade for a outfielder like justin upton to start. The lineup has few contact hitters.
The pitching going forward is good . We need a cleanup hitter and hopefully somebody can work with granderson to cut out the strikeouts
swisher should not be the fall guy its robbie can-not hit . The yanks better rethink on a long trem contract for him. Look at arod now .
A-rod should bat 8th . His power seems long gone and at some point instead of taking the yankees money for the next 4 years he should do the right thing and retire
Arod is the worst contract at some point they are going to have to eat part of the contract. He is not a top of the lineup batter anymore. And I hope the yankees dont give
cano that kind of contract
The yankees have to many injuries and there old at some positions and there starting pitching since the allstar break has stunk. I hope there will be some big changes in the offseason. They are...
I think they should put phelps in there starting rotation and try to trade phil homer hughes for a young outfield.
The yankees look old, and also with the injuries this team reminds me of the 2008 yankees. They need to get younger
They need to get younger. They are going to have to eat arod's contract. They should resign cano. Granderson I would try to trade him in the offseason . Trade either hughes
or nova for and...
the funny thing about cano is a soon as melky was suspended cano started to slump.The other thing is he swings at everything. He has no patience at the plate. Not worth 20 million
Arod looks like half the player is use to be . He swings at bad pitches and has lost alot of his power ,time to bat him 7th
If TEX-Shifter starts hitting the opposite way sometimes things will change for him. If not he will just suck.
With the lack of run production you need a speed guy to create runs like gardner, without him it is all or nothing. They yanks should bring up nunez and dh him. He might create something . Send wise...
Hughes does not know how to close out a batter. He goes 0-2 and can't find a way to get the batter out. Maybe a stint in the minors will wake him up. After seeing phelps throw send hughes down
please resign chavez
ichiro makes to much money , the Yankees are looking to get rid of payroll. ibanez would make good sense.
The yanks should trade hughes for a bat. I think after the montero trade becomes official you will see a trade for a bat. You either trade Aj who you will have to eat most of his contract or hughes...
