Ideally, guidewires used during peripheral vasculature (PV) interventions could serve both as a therapy delivery platform and a diagnostic tool for real-time vessel sizing (2-in-1 function).
Vascular imaging modalities, like intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), used during lower PV interventions, can improve outcomes versus angiographic assessment alone, but are rarely used due to added time, cost, and required clinical training/interpretation.
A 0.035″ bodied 0.035″ conductance guidewire (CGW) is described here as a vascular navigation and diagnostic real-time PV sizing tool. When attached to a console, the CGW creates a safe, electric field to determine vascular size through simultaneous voltage measurements.
The CGW showed functionality as a workhorse guidewire on the bench (torqueability and trackability equivalent to a Wholey guidewire) and in vivo (over-the-wire stent deployment in domestic swine and first-in-man study with no major adverse events). Validation of CGW sizing versus the true diameter and IVUS was completed in 4–10 mm diameter phantoms on the bench and in swine and showed virtually no bias with excellent repeatability and accuracy (i.e., CGW repeatability: swine phantom bias = 0.03 ± 0.09 mm (1.3% error). CGW vs. true diameter: in vivo bias = 0.14 ± 0.15 mm (2.7% error). IVUS vs. true diameter: swine phantom bias = 0.01 ± 0.36 mm (4.7% error). CCW vs. IVUS: swine phantom bias = 0.13 ± 0.26mm (3.8% error)).
Real-time, accurate, and safe PV dimension assessment and therapy-delivery (2-in-1 function) is possible using a novel workhorse 0.035″ bodied CGW. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Russia Announces Second Gas Price Hike for Ukraine
Russia will raise the price of gas for Ukraine to USD 485 per 1000 cubic meters.
The latest increase, which is the second in just two days, suggests that Russia's state-owned energy concern Gazprom is to sell gas to Kiev for 80% more than what it charged under the old "special" pricing regime that was in force until April 1, estimates by the Frankfurt Allgemeine Zeitung have suggested.
The news was first reported by Gazprom's chief executive Alexei Miller, short after a Ukrainian delegation was in Moscow to negotiate new possible discounts.
Miller held talks with Ukraine's Energy Ministry officials, MPs from Kiev and Ukrainian energy entity Naftogaz's representatives.
He also met Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who has been actively involved in decision-making on the issue. New pricing offered by Gazprom is unprecedented in comparison to what is being offered to other European countries.
Miller justifies price hikes with delays on Ukraine's payments to Gazprom, which reportedly amount to USD 2.2 B (EUR 1.6 B).
Earlier Moscow also introduced an export duty on gas to Ukraine.
Existing discounts prior to April were made in accordance with a 2010 agreement between Kiev and Moscow envisaging reduced gas prices in return of an extended lease of Crimea-based Black Sea Fleet until 2042 (without the deal it would have ended as early as 2017).
The document signed by ousted President Yanukovych however is no longer deemed valid, as Ukrainian agency UNIAN reported Kiev had received Russia's formal denunciation of the agreement.
Crimea is not virtually part of Russia's territory after a regional vote which approved its secession from Ukraine.

Anglais on fracking France and Bulgaria don't allow it, what is happening in the UK on it?
Yes Europe could become energy independant through fracking but Europeans are very worried about the environmental and health risks.
The US do a lot of fracking, they don't care about the health of their people, they even closed the government last year to try to stop Obama getting his programme through to provide healthcare for everyone!!!!!!!
Maybe supply the Ukraine with gas by fracking in the UK?
whilst i feel for the plight of the poor repressed ethnic russians, i don't think depending on the USA for energy would be a step towards "energy independence"?
Anglais yes frack in the US for gas and send it to Europe if you want.
You cannot frack in the Eastern Uraine as this would damage the health of ethnic Russians and would be blatant descrimination against them.
Ukraine and Europe should invest heavily in renewable energy and fracking, and shut down the KGB pipelines, sending Russia back into the dark days of queuing for non-existent food - if the people vote for the KGB, they can have their iron curtain too.
Yes, Russia should charge what it wants.
The Ukraine wants an EU type free market economy so they should pay the market price for its gas. Russia is teaching them useful free market skills.
Russia should ask for payment in advance for the gas because of the risk of the Ukraine not paying the bill.
the true colours of the dirty bullying tsar Putka and his corrupt tentacles such as gazprom have taken very little time to come through. Ukraine should default on the outstanding debts, commence fracking and bring in green energy, and then totally boycott disgusting KGB owned products and services.

Daily Fluff: Dog collects designer shopping bags
Margo, a French Bulldog from Chicago, IL, has a very expensive hobby: she collects shopping bags from designer clothing labels.
"She never actually keeps the clothes — she just buys enough to get a bag that she can sit in," said Chloe Sparks, a source close to the situation. "Last week she bought $3,500 worth of Marc Jacobs pants. She's a dog. She doesn't wear pants."
According to Sparks, the label-happy dog donates the clothes to charity.

Microchip Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MCHP), a leading provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP solutions, today announced an expansion of its SPI Flash memory portfolio, with the introduction of the SST25PF020B, SST25PF040B and SST25PF080B devices. The SST25PF020B, SST25PF040B and SST25PF080B offer 2, 4 and 8 Mbit of memory and are manufactured with Microchip's high-performance SuperFlash® technology, a split-gate, NOR Flash design with thick-oxide tunneling injector for superior quality and reliability.
With their extended operating voltage range from 2.3 to 3.6V, extremely low power consumption, small-footprint packaging, and fixed super-fast program and erase times, these SPI Flash memory devices excel in a variety of applications. The memory is partitioned into uniform 4 Kbyte sectors, and 32 and 64 Kbyte blocks, offering flexible erase capabilities and seamless partitioning for program and data code in the same memory block. All three devices enable designers to reduce their overall product design cycles and total system costs while improving product performance. The extended voltage range provides designers with a wider set of options on the power-supply voltage for their chipsets and board designs, and reduces overall power consumption, making these memory devices especially well suited for battery-operated accessories, sensors and equipment.
The SST25PF020B, SST25PF040B and SST25PF080B SPI Flash devices offer flexible erase and program performance, including erasing sectors and blocks as fast as 18 ms, erasing the entire Flash memory chip in 35 ms, and a word-programming time of 7 µs using Auto Address Increment (AAI). The devices also offer superior reliability of 100,000 endurance cycles, typical, and greater than 100 years of data retention. The active read current of these devices is only 10 mA, typical, at 80 MHz, and standby current is only 10 µA, typical.
All three devices excel in a broad range of applications, including those in the consumer-electronics and industrial markets. Examples of ideal end applications include smart meters, wireless products for sports/fitness/health monitoring, digital radios, low-power Wi-Fi® products, GPS, and a wide array of battery-operated products. Additionally, these SPI Flash memory devices are well suited for use in medical applications, such as glucose meters, hearing aids and wireless sensors.
"Newer designs requiring greater mobility, along with more compact form factors, are driving lower-power and extended-voltage requirements," said Randy Drwinga, vice president of Microchip's SuperFlash Memory Division. "With their extended voltage, smaller footprint and low power consumption, this SST25PFXXXB SPI Flash family provides designers with even simpler, more economical and more innovative memory solutions for their embedded designs."
Pricing & Availability
The SST25PF020B starts at $0.53 each, in 8-lead 150 mil SOIC, 8-contact USON (3x2 mm), or 8-contact WSON (6x5 mm) packages, in 10,000-unit quantities.

Leaf area index (LAI) is a crucial parameter of vegetation structure in ecosystem, climate, and crop yield models. The radiative transfer model (RTM) inversion method is useful for estimating LAI, due to its well-founded physical basis and independence of vegetation types. Multi-angular observations can provide more structure information of vegetation, and therefore the RTM inversion incorporating with multi-angular data may have the potential to estimate LAI much more accurately. In this paper, the performances of LAI retrieval with several angle combinations were explored using the PROSAIL model and multi-angular data based on a lookup table (LUT) method. A high accuracy (R2=0.9371 and RMSE=0.8914 ) was obtained with the optimal angle combination (-20°,-10°,0°,10°) . Results demonstrated that the near-nadir angle and the back-scattering angles in the NIR band had the better capabilities on LAI estimation, so it was necessary to determine the optimal angle combination when dealing with the multi-angular data. It provided the opportunity to improve the retrieval accuracy of LAI and some help to the angle set of the new multi-angle remote sensing sensors.

Plextor M3 Pro 128GB (PX-128M3P) Solid State Drive Review
AIDA64 Random Access Time
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.60
Developer Homepage: http://www.aida64.com
Product Homepage: http://www.aida64.com
AIDA64 offers several different benchmarks for testing and optimizing your system or network. The Random Access test is one of very few if not only that will measure hard drives random access times in hundredths of milliseconds as oppose to tens of milliseconds.
Drives with only one or two tests displayed in the write test mean that they have failed the test and their Maximum and possibly their Average Scores were very high after the cache fills. This usually happens only with controllers manufactured by JMicron and Toshiba.
The new Toshiba Toggle Mode flash has been putting up some very impressive latency numbers. Here we see the M3 Pro delivering an amazing .07ms read latency performance. This comes very close to the OCZ Octane's .06ms that we recorded a few months ago, the lowest we've seen to date.
Access time and especially read access time is what makes your Windows, applications and general computing experience feel much faster when using SSDs. Most of the manufactures like to talk about their large read and write sequential performance because big numbers are more marketable than small ones. It is these small numbers though that you can really feel while using your system.
The write access times on the Plextor M3 Pro 128GB are the lowest we've recorded to date on a computer, non-PCIe drive. I don't think it is electrically possible to get any lower with SATA.

That Viral Video Of A 'UFO' Attack In Afghanistan Is An Obvious Hoax
Published 11:38 pm, Friday, May 9, 2014
A YouTube video currently making the rounds across the internet showing a "UFO" destroying a Taliban camp is an obvious hoax.
While debunking videos isn't exactly my forte, it's worth it this time since The Daily Mail, The New York Daily News, International Business Times, and others have reported on the poorly-edited minute-and-a-half clip uploaded by "Section 51."
Little green men may certainly exist, but it can't be confirmed that they've fired on the Taliban. A quick perusal of the "Section 51" channel — with dozens of videos of soldiers and Marines encountering supposed "UFO's" uploaded — should convince most this is a hoax, but let's look at the video:
A meeting between Hillary Clinton and the FBI may be happening soon
Warren Buffett has asked the Fed if he can own more than 10% of Wells Fargo
The world's economic 'canary in the coal mine' faces a growing threat
Here's who is going to get crushed by the coming 'tsunami' in the debt market
An inside look at what America's coolest team did the day before the Tour de France
That very fake-looking UFO hovering above the explosion said to be in "Afghanistan — March 2014" is, well, obviously fake. This little computer-generated addition was thrown over a real video of a car bomb factory being blown to bits in Iraq that the Section 51 uploaders flipped.
"The authenticity of the video cannot be confirmed. The U.S. military has not announced any UFO sightings in Afghanistan," wrote Joel Landau at the New York Daily News.
Well, obviously.

Marmite gifted as shortage ends
Relevant offers
Rebuilding Christchurch
A few lucky Christchurch families have tasted Marmite two weeks before the rest of the nation.
Marmite will be back on supermarket shelves on March 20, but some people had jars of the scarce condiment delivered to their doorstep today by Sanitarium general manager Pierre van Heerden and former All Blacks captain Wayne ''Buck'' Shelford.
Kathy Landreth and her three children Jesse, 13, Hannah, 11, and Imani, 9, ran out of Marmite in September last year.
''I didn't have any,'' said Landreth.
''I decided to leave it for [the children] because that's what mums do.''
All three of her children loved Marmite, especially Imani.
Getting the Marmite delivered was ''quite exciting'' for the family of four, whose Parklands house was demolished after the February 2011 quake, she said.
The Marmite is the second piece of good news for them as the construction of their new home begins next week.
''We're going to have Marmite for dinner,'' said Landreth.
''I don't think we can wait until tomorrow morning.''
Andrea Cummings and her children Nathan and Emma ran out of Marmite almost as soon as the shortage was announced.
''We only had a small jar and I decided we wouldn't go for the stockpiling thing and leave it for other people who needed it more,'' said Cummings, who later regretted her decision.
She was looking forward to meatloaf with Marmite sauce.
The Cummings lost their lawn mower business in New Brighton after the September 2010 quake, just six weeks after they bought it.
After the February 2011 quake, Cummings began running a welfare centre in the parking lot of her destroyed shop.
The Rebuild Christchurch Foundation selected the families who received the Marmite, and more Marmite will be handed out to other families over the week.

The discussion of how the free market would provide security from aggression by criminals or an invading group has deep and venerable roots.
The Belgian-born classical liberal, Gustave de Molinari (1819-1912), respected the free market so deeply that colleagues called him "the law of supply and demand made into man." Although he was highly praised in his day, Molinari has fallen into comparative obscurity. His legacy should be retrieved because he raised a question that deserves serious consideration. Why is security a service that people believe is better provided by the state rather than by the free market?
His answer: Like every "good" necessary to man, security is best provided on a competitive basis with individuals possessing the authority to choose. In short, Molinari was a precursor to free-market anarchism. He is the first theorist to present a cohesive argument on how the free market could competitively provide defense, not merely for individuals but for areas occupied by many individuals. He proposed a free-market alternative to the service that is called "national defense." He did so in an article entitled "The Production of Security" and in his book entitled Conversations on Economic Laws and Defense of Property.

LOS ANGELES — The union representing the Los Angeles Police Department's 9,300 rank-and-file officers filed an unfair labor practices claim Friday that seeks to overturn recent changes in the SWAT team's rigorous selection process — changes that were partly intended to open the elite unit to female officers.
The claim is the latest challenge to Chief William J. Bratton's efforts to expand the SWAT selection process.

Why Mitsubishi will dominate global EV advancement
Mitsubishi will enter their MiEV Evolution III all-electric race car in The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb that is the second oldest motorsports event in the United States following the famed Indianapolis 500. The very first event was held in 1916, and Mitsubishi aims to win in 2014. It's the ideal testing ground for automakers and its a tough challenge because of the altitude.
The course imposes extraordinarily challenging driving conditions upon the driver and cars with its 12.42 miles consisting of 156 corners. The great elevation change of 4,720 feet is challenging on the cars that have to deal with temperature, air pressure, weather and other atmospheric conditions. Why does Mitsubishi do it?
Why does MMC race the MiEV Evolution III?
Mitsubishi Motors has believed for decades that motorsports is the ultimate proving ground for vehicles as demonstrated by its successful history with multiple championships in the extremely difficult World Rally Championship (WRC) and Dakar Rally. Mitsubishi is at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb to prove that they are the leader in electric-powered vehicles.
They already produce the Mitsubishi i-MiEV, and its derivatives combined with the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, have already sold about 50,000 units throughout Japan, Europe and Asia. Mitsubishi Motor Corporation (MMC) would like to continue developing and advancing EV technology so that it remains the leader in this new form of high-tech, eco-friendly transportation.
They aim to set a record time

Walmart Launches The Sustainability Consortium in China, Sets Supplier Targets
Walmart today announced a series of sustainable supply chain initiatives including a $2 million Walmart Foundation grant to launch The Sustainability Consortium (TSC) in China, and a target for suppliers to use the company's Sustainability Index.
Walmart pledged that, by the end of 2012, it will buy 70 percent of the goods it sells in US stores and in US Sam's Clubs only from suppliers that use the Sustainability Index to evaluate and share the sustainability of their products. This change will involve suppliers who produce goods in categories where the index is available.
Additionally, beginning in 2013, Walmart will use the Sustainability Index to influence the design of its US private brand products, the company said. Also beginning in 2013, Walmart says it will add specific sustainability objectives to its global sourcing merchants' annual evaluations.
Today's initiatives build on the sustainability goals Walmart set at its China Sustainability Summit in 2008, the company says. Since announcing those goals almost five years ago, Walmart says about 95 percent of direct-import factories have received one of the two highest audit ratings for environmental and sourcing practices. Additionally, 195 factories have improved their energy efficiency by 20 percent as of July 2012, and the top 200 factories are expected to improve their energy efficiency by 20 percent or more by the end of 2012, according to the company.
Walmart set a goal in 2009 to develop a sustainability index to improve sustainability across the consumer goods industry. TSC developed a reporting system and measurement tools for Walmart, and other members of the consortium, to evaluate products and determine supplier sustainability performance.
The company has since rolled out the index, which measures product sustainability using metrics developed by TSC, for more than 100 categories. More than 500 suppliers participate in the sustainability index, Walmart says, representing an average of 70 percent of sales within the categories the company is currently evaluating.
Last month, Walmart said it had already met its goal to roll out the scorecard to buyers in more than 100 categories, and will add another 100 categories by the end of the year, with an additional couple hundred next year. Its original goal was to have 100 categories by the end of 2012.

'Artificial leaf' widens reach with self-healing capacity
The "artificial leaf" can harness sunlight to split water into hydrogen and oxygen without external connections (CREDIT: Dominick Reuter)
The world's first practical "artificial leaf" can now self-heal damage that occurs during production of energy.
The innovation means the leaf, which mimics the ability of real leaves to produce energy from nothing other than sunlight and water, can now be run on dirty water making it even more suitable for providing people in developing countries and remote areas with electricity.
Daniel Nocera, described the advance during the "Kavli Foundation Innovations in Chemistry Lecture" at the 245th National Meeting and Exposition of the American Chemical Society, which runs until Thursday.
Nocera, leader of the research team, explained the device is a simple catalyst-coated wafer of silicon, rather than a complicated reproduction of the photosynthesis mechanism in real leaves.
Dropped into a jar of water and exposed to sunlight, catalysts in the device break water down into its components, hydrogen and oxygen and those gases bubble up and can be collected and used as fuel to produce electricity in fuel cells.
"Surprisingly, some of the catalysts we've developed for use in the artificial leaf device actually heal themselves," Nocera said. "They are a kind of 'living catalyst.' This is an important innovation that eases one of the concerns about initial use of the leaf in developing countries and other remote areas."
Nocera, who is the Patterson Rockwood Professor of Energy at Harvard University, explained that the artificial leaf would probably find its first uses in providing "personalized" electricity to individual homes in areas that lack traditional electric power generating stations and electric transmission lines.
Less than one quart of drinking water, for instance, would be enough to provide about 100 watts of electricity 24 hours a day.
And while earlier versions of the leaf required pure water, because bacteria eventually formed biofilms on the leaf's surface shutting down production, the new "self-healing" design means it can be used in the natural environment.
"Self-healing enables the artificial leaf to run on the impure, bacteria-contaminated water found in nature," Nocera said. "We figured out a way to tweak the conditions so that part of the catalyst falls apart, denying bacteria the smooth surface needed to form a biofilm. Then the catalyst can heal and re-assemble."
Nocera said that about 3 billion people today live in areas that lack access to traditional electric production and distribution systems and about 1 billion people in the developing world already lack reliable access to clean water.
"It's kind of like providing 'fast-food energy,'" he noted. "We're interested in making lots of inexpensive units that may not be the most efficient, but that get the job done. It's kind of like going from huge mainframe computers to a personal laptop. This is personalized energy."
Earlier devices used rare, costly metals and other materials, involved complicated wiring and were expensive to manufacture, but Nocera's artificial leaf uses less-expensive materials and incorporates a design — called a "buried junction" — that is simple and would be inexpensive to mass produce.
And the leaf has advantages over solar panels, which are costly and produce energy only during daylight hours, as the leaf's hydrogen and oxygen can be stored and used at night.
"A lot of people are designing complicated, expensive energy-producing devices, and it is difficult to see them being adopted on a large scale," he said. "Ours is simple, less expensive, and it works. And with that, I think we've changed the dialog in the field."
Among the team's priorities for further development of the device is integrating it with technology for converting the hydrogen into a liquid fuel that could run traditional portable electric generators or even cars.
Nocera acknowledged research funding from the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research.
