Two more chemical leaks in stored M55 rockets were discovered Tuesday in an igloo bunker at the Anniston Army Depot.
The rockets were secreting traces of GB nerve gas, according to a news released issued Wednesday by the Anniston Chemical Activity.
As with other damaged rockets previously found, employees will place the two munitions into larger individual containers and store them with other leaking rockets.
Officials said all leaking rockets will eventually be destroyed at the depot's chemical waste incinerator.
No injuries were reported, and the Army said there was no danger to depot employees or local residents.

Force India team principal Vijay Mallya has had an arrest warrant issued against him withdrawn following the settlement of a dispute over payments.
In a row over $2 million (USD) of service charges, Hyderabad Airport had gone to court and succeeded in having an arrest warrant put out against Mallya.
However, just a few days after that development, the company that owns the airport has called a halt to its proceedings following a payment settlement.
The Press Trust of India quoted one of the lawyers representing Hyderabad Airport as confirming the matter was now over.
J.B. Chenna Keshava Rao said: "The case (against Kingfisher and Mallya) has been withdrawn
"They asked us to withdraw the case after which we informed the court about withdrawal of the case which has been agreed upon."

D. a stay at home mum who worked as a Speech Pathologist in her past life. Her 2 beautiful girls and little boy add laughter and spice to every day, and she never wants to go back to "work". Her business card now states that she is a 'domestic resources coordinator' . She isn't sure that she should have written that down on the last jury duty form, but it is too late now.....
She loves making anything, from clothes (both sewn and knitted) to leather masks and of course toys for all the children in her life.
In her humble opinion there is never enough hours in the day for craft and far too many for housework. :)
More of her patterns can be found at http://www.etsy.com/shop/ebonyshaedesigns, or regular updates on upcoming patterns can be found at Ebony Shae Designs on facebook www.facebook.com/EbonyShaeDesigns.
So cute! So cuddly! (So good at kung fu)!
Create your own, easy to sew panda mask. You're friends won't believe you made it yourself! Cheap and quick gift idea - you can make this for under $5 for materials!
Soft felt conforms to the face and sits comfortably. Elastic band at the back for a comfortable, multi-size fit. Great for make believe and dress up fun.
When you purchase this pattern, you will receive a 6 page PDF.
Your PDF will contain; 1 page of pattern and 4 pages of tutorial with easy to follow, step-by-step instructions and colour photos for every stage of the creation process.
Easy to read print and no sewing machine needed! (Great little travelling project as not many materials are required).
And if the thought of hand sewing sends you into a spin, don't worry! You can sew this pattern with a machine.
Skill level: Easy Peasy. Diagrams of how to do stitches are also included in the pattern for those of us who regularly think, "Now running stitch..... Which one is that?" (If however, you don't know how to sew on a button, this skill level may be incorrect for you, but you should STILL be able to sew the mask. If you are having any trouble, you can email the store owner who will give you any help she can).

Vital Signs : How To Lose The Dreaded Radio Voice
By Stephanie Ciccarelli
September 25, 2008
In this final chapter of the series "Vital Signs", I have two fabulously talented educators with me here on VOX Daily sharing their thoughts on how those of you who come from radio can free yourself from broadcast radio bondage.
What I'm saying may come as a surprise to many people but just because you come from radio doesn't mean that you're by virtue of that fact already a voice actor or that voice acting will come easily to you.
This article will explain how voice acting and radio differ and will help those who come from radio lose their "radioness", ditching the sing-songy sound that some women carry over from broadcast and also the announcery baggage that men bring to the table when they enter the business of voice over.
Radio is Not Voice Over... Weird But True!
This idea has been floating around in my head for a number of years and now seems to be the appropriate time to explore it.
When deciding how to present this, I wanted to give you the perspectives of two voice over teachers, their thoughts, and also share how people from radio who enter voice over (this is a very large number of people) can make it in the voice acting business without sounding like they're still behind the mic at the radio station which is a very different style of speaking than that of what is expected of a voice over actor.
Elaine Clark

Author of "There's Money Where Your Mouth Is"
Voice actors and Radio personalities have one thing in common: a microphone.
Other than that, the businesses are completely different.
Here are the differences:
1. For DJs, personality and vocal quality are the stars of the show. With voice actors, the client information is the star and the actor's voice and acting skills support that key information.
2. DJs spend a lot of air time ad libbing. Voice actors ad lib a little, but primarily read from a script and have to learn how to make those words sound natural and real.
3. When a voice actor records a commercial, the spot is read many times and often cut together to mine the most impact out of the copy. Radio personalities rarely read a commercial more than once; they either read it live or record it down and dirty at the end of the day to satisfy an obligation.
For a radio personality to break into the freelance voice-over world, they have to leave their DJ job at the door and learn how to step back from the starring position, relax the "pipes," let the words motivate the listener to take action, and sound REAL. It takes practice, but it can be done.

Ask The Voice Cat
As a voice acting instructor and coach, I encounter a lot of people, mostly men, occasionally women, who've been in Radio for some time and want to transition into full-time voice acting. And they seem to have one thing in common--the dreaded "Radio Voice," which, when agents hear their V-O demos, run screaming out of their office.
The Dreaded "Radio Voice"
What accounts for this aural phenomenon? Well, a few things.
Many radio DJs, announcers or personalities wear headphones while they're on the air, and have basically fallen in love with the purring, resonant sounds of their own voice.
Most have been inculcated by their program director to deliver station-written and produced copy in the same style that they talk on the air, because that's what the advertiser wants and is paying for. And many Radio people have listened to their predecessors for years, and have consciously or unconsciously emulated them.
Radio people do have, however, a lot of skill-sets that many people in the voice-over world don't appreciate.
They have excellent eye-brain-mouth coordination, i.e., they're able to lift words off a page effortlessly, without stumbling over any words, rarely omitting or adding any, and giving them a ton of energy. They're also able to speak very fast, with outstanding articulation, and an amazing ability to "shoe-horn" seventy seconds of copy into a sixty-second spot.
They have wonderful cold-reading ability, since most of them come from the "rip and read" school of "this just in" on-air announcing.
On-air personalities are able to ad-lib extremely well, particularly in testimonials, giving advertisers a lot of bang for their buck. But most incredibly of all, they're able to do all these things live, with thousands, hundreds of thousands or possibly millions of people listening to them. That's a hell of a lot of pressure on a person, something that most professional voice actors rarely, if ever, encounter. We've got an audience of maybe a dozen people maximum hanging on our every word.
I explain to my students that the aforementioned skills are vital to a professional voice actor, and, truth be told, many of the Radio people I work with trying to transition into voice acting are able to find their niche.
I also remind my students that not everyone is cut out to be an actor. I know a lot of voiceover people doing a ton of non-acting work: announcing, corporate narration, e-Learning and instructional modules, phone-on-hold systems, pre-recorded announcements, etc., and are making quite a nice living. Heck, someone who comes into the studio for fifteen minutes to record a legal tag for a campaign can make more money than the actors, because the legal tag is tacked onto all the radio and TV spots!
But what can a Radio person do to not sound like a Radio person?
The main reason some Radio people have a challenging time transitioning into voice acting is because they haven't been trained or taught how to act.
So first, take voice acting classes. Learn how to speak conversationally, talking to just one person, not the multitudes. You can even take acting classes, to learn how to set a mood or attitude and find the emotional hook.
Second, don't audition with your headphones on. Unless you're doing a phone-patch and need to hear the director from a remote location, or you're in a three-way trialogue with other performers who are in a separate room, don't listen to yourself in your phones--you'll just perpetuate that Radio mind-set of style over substance.
And third, concentrate on delivering copy in the same way you talk to people (or pets) you love--your siblings, your kids, your spouse or girlfriend/boyfriend, your parents--just not the way you talk to your audience. Because believability comes in talking to just one person, preferably someone you know who fits the target audience you're talking to.
As long as you're truly sincere and invested in what you're talking about, chances are you'll eventually lose the dreaded "Radio Voice."

Transitioning From Radio To Voice Over
Moving from radio to voice over isn't easy as you've read but it is achievable! Many of our great teachers today help talent to make the transition and encounter it quite often in their voice over studios.
If you'd like to make the leap and need some help doing so, feel free to contact either Elaine, Marc or reach out to any of the voice over experts that we refer at Voices.com through the Voice Over Experts podcast.

I have been a radio host in Belgium for more than 17 years between 1981 and 1999. In 2005 I started doing voice-acting. I was very fortunate to have taken some acting classes and to have done some theater back in the 1980's. Now depending on the voice-over job, a radio voice can be a blessing or a curse.
It really helps to record your voice without wearing a head-set. The problem is that when you're in the voice-booth you really need to hear the directions given to you. So you work with the headphones on your head. Also, when you're revoicing movies that had been voiced in another language before, you need to hear the other sounds on the track to get the timing right.
But there's no substitute for training. At home, take a text and record your voice without the head-set. And when you voice a movie, try to get yourself into the scene. Play it. Talk to the microphone as if it is a person. It might even help to put a figure of some sort on the microphone and talk to that character.
And remember that on the radio, you may say "I love you" with the same tone of voice you say "I'm gonna kill you." In voice-acting you can't. If you say "Arnold Schwarzenegger is the Terminator" you'd better not say in with the same tone in your voice you would use to say "Mercedes gets you there with class."
The worst thing to do is to take your text and read it directly into the microphone. Think about the words, wait untill the words make sense to you, then you will find the right tone. As long as the words don't make sense to you, you won't say them the right way. Remember acting is 90% thinking about the words/action/scene and 10% preforming them/it. That goes for voice-acting too.
If you know how to fly an airplane and the actor who plays the part of a pilot in the movie you're watching doesn't, he will never convince you he is flying the plane. So in order to convince you he is flying a plane, the actor would do well to take flying lessons or to have a real pilot assist him whilst acting. The same applies to voice-actors. They too have to convince people.Posted by:
As a broadcast veteran of almost 40 years, you might be interested to learn that today's smart radio announcers have actually taken a page from the voice actors' handbook -- we're sounding more conversational on the air. I changed my announcing style a good 8 to 10 years ago when it was pointed out to me by a radio consultant that our audience wasn't listening for a "big-voiced announcer" but a friendly, conversational voice on the air. So my patter changed immediately from, "There's the Beatles from 1964!" to "Remember that Beatle tune from your 8th grade dance?" While the change seems minor, it speaks volumes about catching the listener's ear when she's got her iPod sitting next to her ringing cellphone on her desk while she's watching a viral video on-line with the radio on in the background! All these devices competing for the same ears? It's frightening.
So the distance between a good radio announcer and a successful voice actor may not be as far apart as we think. "The times they are a-changin'."Posted by:
I have done VO from the beginning of my radio career so many years ago that I don't want to "date" myself! :) It was easier back then because a more "announcery" read was in for VO talent as well. But, as in any industry, you've got to adapt with the changes in the industry.
The biggest difference, as I see it, is that an air personality typically speaks his/her own words. A VO talent has to take a script, written by someone else, and make the words his/her own.
Excellent comments by Elaine and Marc. In fact, some of the things Marc touched on are part of what I'll be talking about in the October issue of the FREE VoiceOver Insider Magazine. (If you're not a subscriber, you can sign up at www.voice-overs.com)
Radio and VO are totally different animals, but as Beau Weaver said at VOICE 2008 (He came from radio, too) if you are willing to have "beginners mind" as you transition to VO from radio, you'll do fine.
Really, it's been my experience that when my VO students with radio backgrounds put what I say through the "filter" of what they "know" to be true (what they learned through radio experience) they'll piddle around making $50 bucks now and then in VO. However, if they're willing to learn, as Beau said, and trust what they're learning (not dismiss it based on their experience) ... they rise very quickly in VO, because they do have some extremely valuable skills already.
Have A Blessed Day!
Julie Williams "VoiceOver Chocolate"
Having a career in radio that spanned 23 years, I can honestly say I can relate to having that "radio voice". I started my career as an on air personality and eventually moved into production. Luckily, for me I was the only female "non-air personality" that could cut spots when air talent didn't want to be associated with that particular advertiser/subject or we needed a two voiced spot. This gave me opportunities to work on losing my "radio voice" and having fun acting parts for commercials.
I was also fortunate to have a production director that was very honest, patient and giving in his criticisms, skills and experience. I still have a ways to go but with 2 children (15 & 8 months), I do not have the time nor money to afford lessons at this time. Instead, I look for great blogs like this one... print them, and read them daily!
Thanks for hitting on this subject!

Thanks to Marc and Elaine for those helpful reminders! I especially agree with the "take your headphones off" comment. It works for me EVERY time!Posted by:
Hello Marc Cashman and Elaine Clark:
Great article. I am one of those people who is and has been making that transition from Radio to Voice acting. It's like re-inventing the wheel. What I found comfort in is the assets you listed. I started full time on the air in Radio in 1974 when red hot rock jocks were at their height. My voice already sounded like that and I had a delivery that suited Radio. Shoot I got hired because I was singing with my band and the PD from the Radio station heard me ad libbing between songs and said he thought I had the gift. I was on the air with my own show the next week and learned to rip and read and be cool, scream and still relax in front of 100's of thousands of people. I spent a few years composing my own music and recording music in the studio and have released 14 of my own albums which probably added to my sing song approach as was mentioned in your article. I've had a few Agents who probably were not honest with me about why they were not getting me voice over work. I got frustrated with the last one because it was a few years with no work. Here I was thinking, shoot I have tons of experience, why am I not being let back in. It's not easy to look at oneself and recreate but that's what has to be done. I did take some acting classes. I see the total difference. I understand the natural way of speaking. Working without headphones does work.
I started doing band interviews and producing packages of their music with recorded talk (talk) to try to break my Radio voice. I still want the enthusiasm in this type of show and I get the chance from time to time to celebrate that old radio voice, on purpose. At least now I now what I'm doing and why.
I was seriously injured in 1998 and have become disabled and have no choice but to make a living in a business where I got my beginnings. I cannot hold a regular job and have nothing coming in other than what I create myself. God has gifted me with talent though. I'm a celebrated visual artist, musician and composer and have my own in home studio with decent equipment and I know how to produce music and production. I started editing tape. It's changed so very much. I use Power tracks 12 because I had started with that program 10 years ago and all the other programs have copies it. It's compatible with cakewalk.
I would love to do some copy and have you rip it apart for me. My voice is so very programmed to radio that people hear me talking and come up and ask if I work on the Radio. That's terrible. Or people will say, you have a good radio voice. I have to make this work or I'll be dead. I have no other way to survive. The Government sure doesn't help disabled people. I've found that out. I was working for the Government when I got injured and they destroyed my life to keep me quiet. It's up to me.
I've been lucky and started to sell my publishing to young performers. It's good when they pay.
I do so want to be making my living in the voice over world. I fired my last agent and tried to leave on good terms but what I was most concerned about is his lack of honesty. I asked time and time again what is the problem. I'm willing to change, I'll stay awake all night like the old days working in the studio to make a change and get it right. I'll break my soul to make it work. I'll do anything. I'm not a quitter and I don't care if my feelings get hurt and I cry cuz that's easy to happen if one is shown their true self. But then it's time to get over it and learn to shine.
I need some help and that's embarrassing. How could a 50 year old guy, who has good looks and decent voice need help. It's only good that I realize that. Your article is a real eye opener. I must admit my first reaction was, so is this some 20 year old kid just out of school who is trying to make his mark with an article, then I saw who you were and woke up! You're trying to help.
My show Hart of the Music I've created for Podcast and Internet and Broadcast Radio is the best thing I could have done to break my Radio voice bonds because I'm having conversations. My best verse is when I drop the question sheet and just enter the conversation ad lib. Everything becomes so natural. Oh I wish I could have the best of both worlds.
There is a great deal missing from Radio and the music business. It's changed and people are hurting badly. Radio has become boring. Even talk radio is slipping a little.
I'm not making any money with my voice right now doing voice over and I do so want to get in on the game. I have tons of energy, totally positive attitude, and I'll work round the clock if need be. I'm a work horse with unstoppable energy. Maybe that's my downfall I don't know.
Anyway I'd love to do some sides and have you tell me where I'm at. I'm broke right now. Maybe you'd like a nice granite statue or painting but I sure don't have money for classes. I just need to pointed in the right direction and I'll fly. I'll be honest I've been an Actra member since 2000 and have a resume I can send you for reference but it put me out of work. I sue to hustle around and get a few car dealerships and do their spots and make an OK living. I joined Actra and it gave me a good online resume that I use every day for my show with the bands but other than that it put me out of work because no one wants to pay residuals. I'm working the other side of the fence for a while to see if it's where it's at. Oh shame on me. I need to break the Radio Voice and get into Voice Over for real.
Kindest Regards,
John David Hart
Well this article really hit home with me. I have been in radio for a decade now and I must agree... Radio and Voice Acting really are two different animals. I was trained in radio by radio people and picked up many of the same skills as well as bad habits when applied to voice acting. I initially thought my radio background would be an advantage but quickly realized many clients are not looking for the Radio Guy voice.
I trained with the Creative Voice Development Group (Voice Coaches) out of Albany NY and it helped me tremendously. Sure I still have the tendency to want to go into Radio Guy Mode but, I know now what to do to stop it. I'm not sure I could have made the transition without some training. My coaches helped me to do the things talked about in this article which is primarily to stop speaking to the masses and start speaking more conversationally to a person.
Thanks to my training with Voice Coaches and exposure on Voices dot com I have landed several jobs in a fairly short amount of time.
I continue to work on my craft and try to learn from other pros. As a Radio Guy I believe you can make the transition, but with some training and lots of practice.

Cool advice, thanks.Posted by:
You don't! I have been in radio for 30 years and have found 1 thing, be yourself the same voice you talk to people over coffee should be that same voice you talk TO your listeners with. The people that have the "radio" sound are the people that talk AT their listeners. Pulling your voice is the WORST thing an announcer can do. Break That Habit NOW! Sorry but if there is one thing I stress when I give seminars and clinics is NEVER PULL YOUR VOICE it makes you a phoney and fake announcer.Posted by:
Great advice Nick! Do you find it's hard for some people to drop the "announcer" voice? ^AHPosted by:
Yes because of BAD Teaching! I went to Humber college under the guidance of the Late Stan Lark. I also learn all my wonderfully bad habits from the likes of CFTR's Jim Brady, Q107's Scruff Connors and the late Jungle Jay Nelson. Working with wonderful people like Jim McLeod, now with BBM and currently working with the Legendary Dick Smyth I have been able to understand the difference of being in radio and being a Radio Person. Be real be yourself and most of all use 1 on 1 communication like you would at your kitchen table.Posted by:
I still remember that ridiculous commercial from the 70s for some "broadcasting school,' where the jock cups his hand behind his ear, a la Gary Owens and pukes out, "You never know what you can do until you try." I found it rather embarrassing even then and I'd not yet been in front of the mic. Fortunately, I got into voiceovers at 13--BEFORE I became a radio DJ and have been doing pretty well for 31 years and counting. I found out years ago from some ad agency folks that by mentioning my jock experience in my promotional package, it was tantamount to sending them a 6 day old dead chicken. They'd see that alphabet soup of call letters on my paperwork and drop the whole megillah in the nearest trash can. Although I've not been a jock since '94, I wouldn't think of even mentioning my DJ years in any of my VO promotional material, to avoid being instantly categorized.Posted by:
I agree with Nick completely. You have to be yourself otherwise someone will bust you out on it, and they'll think your dishonest. I've been taught to never sugar coat anything. My boss has taught me how to make anything funny. He told me to bring a pic of my best friend and to talk to him rather than "The World". We're so not allowed to have "slop" voice :)Posted by:

I was surprised when I picked up the next day that the notice was still there and did not "go away" as Will had said. I made a trip back to Pep Boys; this time met a different clerk who said that Will has been moved out of frond desk because of "playing trick" making false digenesis. The manager now examined the car this time diagnose the breaks. We came to a compromise after hearing what Will has done he decided to charge me only for the cost of the break pads.
I wish that was it. I drove home; things seemed okay until I put the car on the highway. I made an exit off the highway and came to a stop light. When the light changed, I accelerated to move, but the car did not responded, it literally died on me. I tolled it in back to Pep Boys, this time diagnosis by "eye inspection" they said is Distributor cap cost approx. $1300. Since I could not afford it at the time, coupled by continuous calls from Pep Boys to move the car, I arranged and towed the car back to my residence.
I was surprised by what I saw when I opened the hood of the car, loose parts everywhere. The hose that connects to the filter was separated and lying on top of the engine block, so where other parts that I don't have a clue where they came from.
On talking to both the manager and his assistance, both familiar with my incident with Will, saw this as business as usual and were casual about this. Their only concern is how the can bring the car back in a couple back the loose parts. I am now out of car for over a month.

Qubool Hai: 5th February, Siddiqui Marriage To Tanveer Brings Humeira, Haider Closer!
Qubool Hai 5th February written episode: A palanquin arrives at Siddiqui's house and the girl from the asylum gets down from it, with the get up of a bride. Dilshad, Asad and Razia identify that it is Tanvir. They are surprised as well as irritated to see her. Asad wants to expel her at once. Tanvir declares that she has full right to stay in the house as it is her husband's house.
Now making everyone more surprised, Tanvir announces that she has got married to Mr Siddiqui. Siddiqui admits that it is true. Razia faints after knowing this. When Razia wakes up, Tanvir gives her a glass of water. Razia becomes furious. She throws the glass away and attacks Tanvir. Tanvir tells her that she cannot expel her from the house as she is a wife of Mr Siddiqui, rather she can throw Razia out like an old furniture.
Humeira comes to Siddiqui and gives her fiery reaction to this act. She says that when Siddiqui is supposed to marry her off to someone, he himself has married a girl of his daughter's age. As Siddiqui says that he had some compulsion, Humeira bursts in anger and tells him that his grand status is just a show-off. She adds that Haider is far better as a human being than Siddiqui.
Haider discovers Humeira, vehemently crying in her room. A devastated Humeira seeks emotional shelter from Haider. She asks Haider whether he will betray her ever. Haider promises that he would be faithful to her forever.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Upon advice of one investigator, I contacted a family who lived behind ALLIANCE TRUCK DRIVER TRAINING SCHOOL on HWY 25 in Arden. Their property adjoined ALLIANCE's in the back. In interviewed the family, who told me a grim account of the daughter being terrorized and stalked by local satanists, who also harassed her on the phone repeatedly. In fact, they had tapped directly into her phone line, so that everytime she picked up her phone, a person or people who heard to be listening in the background, and even interjecting statements like "kill-kill-KILL!" while she was speaking to others on her phone.
I personally heard this when I attempted to use her phone several times. We could not understand how this was happening. I worked with local police interested in her case, and one satanic crime investigator as well.
One day, I decided to investigative further the mystery of the phone line. I followed the phone line coming from her trailer and connecting to a major phone/power line along the road in front of her trailer. I FOLLOWED THAT PHONE LINE TOWARDS ALLIANCE TRUCKING NEXT TO HER PROPERTY. I NOTICED IMMEDIATELY THAT A STRANGELY OUT-OF-PLACE WIRE RAN OUT OF A SECOND FLOOR WINDOW OF THE MAIN ALLIANCE BUILDING AND CONNECTED TO HER PHONE LINE.
I then notified law enforcement of this strange connection. The investigator told me later, "How did you know? The police checked this out, and discovered that this line tapping directly into her phone line RAN DIRECTLY INTO THE OFFICE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT OF ALLIANCE TRUCKING!"
SO! The horrific threats allegedly coming from "satanists" were coming from the VP's office of ALLIANCE! But WHY??? The facts began to emerge that Alliance had contacted this family repeatedly, wanting to expand their truck driver training school lot, and wanted to buy their land so they could then expand. But the family said NO.
The family and investigators like myself have been forced to conclude that the horrific stalking and threats and harassment they and their threatened daughter received, were intended (in part) to intimidate and frighten this family into wanting to move and therefore selling the land.
We discovered first-hand a very dark side to ALLIANCE TRUCKING SCHOOL in Arden/Fletcher, NC. I caution people to avoid this truck driver training school for this reason. BEWARE OF ALLIANCE TRUCK DRIVER TRAINING SCHOOL!

I told them I did not need advertising because I had lots of information on advertising, then after I signed , they charged me only for advertising.
They told me to get some business cards made and I did, and they said to put an ad in the paper, and I did, with no results.
I paid them for internet advertising for the website that included 25,000 hits to my site, that averages out to 69 visitors a day, and for 30 days I did not have any!
They had a refund policy that included a 30 day clause that they have no intention of honoring.
They even had the nerve to yell and scream at me when I asked for my money back. After being treated this way, I had no choice but to report them.
I spoke to someone by the name of Bill Fautsch, who says he is the president of the company, and like magic, I had visitors to my site, and supposedly, I had almost used up all of my hits!
I thought this was strange, since I had checked every month since I had been involved and never had any!
After speaking with him, he thinks I should only receive what I have not used up, and that comes to less than 25% of what I paid!

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to an improved catheter placement system and, more specifically, to an improved catheter structure.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Catheters are useful for administering fluids into the body, performing blood transfusions, removal of body fluid, blood pressure determinations, and the like.
A conventional catheter device may be put in place by any of several well known methods. In one method, the skin is cut surgically and the tip of the catheter is inserted directly into the body.
Alternatively, a needle (or cannula) is inserted into the skin and the catheter is passed through the needle to insert the catheter into the body. If the needle is left in the original position after the catheter has been inserted into the body, the catheter may be cut by the needle or there may be a risk of the needle damaging the patient's body. Therefore, the needle is usually withdrawn, leaving the catheter inserted. In order to be able to remove the needle from the external end of the catheter, a fixture having a larger size than that of the catheter must not be connected to the external end of the catheter until the needle has been removed. The needle must be removed manually, and a fitting must be subsequently installed at the external end of the catheter. Afterward, the desired instrument can be connected to the fitting.
Recently, prepackaged products which are sterilized in advance have been in demand in an effort to minimize the amount of contact with the physician. This is to minimize the contamination during the placement procedure. From this standpoint, the above-mentioned conventional methods for the insertion of catheters are not satisfactory.
In one product which has been marketed in recent years, the entire catheter device including an external fitting is sterilized and sealed in a package. When the catheter apparatus is needed, the package is opened at the end where the insertion tip of the catheter is located, and the tip is inserted into the body. The catheter is gradually inserted through a cannula directly from the package.
The cannula is always kept in its original insertion position. Thus, this apparatus has the drawback that such a cannula cannot be used in certain parts of the body. For example, the above-mentioned apparatus is not suited for insertion from the neck to the subclavian vein.
It is an object of this invention to avoid the disadvantages of the prior art.
It is also an object of this invention to place a catheter in any part of a body.
It is a further object of this invention to avoid thrombogenic irritations.
It is another object of this invention to avoid collapse of the catheter during use.
It is yet another object of the invention to remove the cannula from the body after insertion of the catheter and to hold the cannula at a convenient location.
These and other objects are accomplished by the present invention which comprises, generally speaking, an improvement in a catheter placement system. In a catheter placement system which includes a cannula; a cannula inserting device for inserting the cannula in a body, the device being adapted to be removably positioned within the cannula during insertion, the device including a needle longer than the cannula; and a catheter adapted for insertion into the body through the cannula after the cannula inserting device has been removed from the cannula; the improvement wherein the catheter comprises:
(a) a body portion having a double-wall structure consisting of an outer tube made of pliable, nonthrombogenic material and a reinforcing inner tube made from a pliable material having a rigidity which is higher than that of the outer tube and which is sufficiently high that the catheter does not collapse during use; and
(b) a tip portion at one end of the body portion, the tip portion being formed from a pliable nonthrombogenic material.
In a preferred embodiment the catheter has a coupling fixture connected to the end opposite the tip portion. The coupling fixture has a tapered portion which is shaped to fit securely with the interior surface of the cannula so that when the interior surface of the cannula engages the tapered portion of the fixture, the cannula is held on the fixture.
The invention is described below with reference to the drawings in which:
FIG. 1 shows schematically the catheter, coupling fixture and cannula.
FIG. 2 shows schematically the cannula and the cannula inserting device.
FIG. 3 shows schematically and in cross-section the cannula and the coupling fixture.
FIGS. 4-6 show schematically and in partial cross-section the method of using the catheter of the present invention.
FIGS. 7-9 show schematically and in cross-section the catheter of FIG. 3 at sections VII--VII, VIII--VIII, and IX--IX thereof.
FIGS. 1 and 2 show a catheter placement system according to the present invention. Cannula 1 consists of a thin portion 3 having a uniform diameter and an enlarged portion 4. As shown in FIG. 2, cannula 1 is attached to a cannula insertion device having a syringe 5 and a needle 6. Needle 6 is affixed to syringe 5 via connector 7. Needle 6 has a length longer than the length of cannula 1 so that when the cannula is attached to the device, the tip 8 of needle 6 extends beyond cannula 1.
The inner diameter of the thin portion of cannula 3 conforms to the outer diameter of needle 6. Needle tip 8 can be a pencil-shaped tip or a tapered tip. Considering the insertion through the skin, it is preferable to have a tapered portion at insertion end 9 opposite to enlarged portion 4 of the cannula. Enlarged portion 4 smoothly merges with thin portion 3 forming a uniform cannula. As shown in FIG. 4, interior surface 10 of enlarged portion 4 is gradually tapered until reaching the end which merges with the thin portion 3.
Cannula 1 is fitted with needle 6 as shown in FIG. 2. Cannula 1 is made of a material having sufficient rigidity to be inserted into a patient's blood vessel through the opening made by the needle tip. Cannula 1 must have enough rigidity to withstand the pressure from the patient's skin and systemic pressure against it after the cannula insertion device is withdrawn. As long as the materials have the above-mentioned characteristics, plastics such as polypropylene and fluororesin can be used as well as metals such as stainless steel.
Catheter 2 consists of: a body section 11 having a substantially uniform diameter; a tip portion 16 which is connected at one end of the body section and which is inserted into the vein first; and fitting 13 which is connected to outer end 17 of body section 11. Body section 11 is gradually enlarged and is finally supported by fitting 13. An example of the construction is shown in FIG. 3.
At least body section 11 of the catheter 2, has a double-wall construction having an outer tube 14 made of pliable non-thrombogenic material such as silicone rubber, polyurethane or mixtures thereof and a reinforcing inner tube 15 made of a plastic having a higher rigidity than the outer tube 14, such as polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyesters, or mixtures thereof.
Silicone rubber and polyurethane are well known nonthrombogenic materials. These materials are known for use in transfusion tubes. Although the tubes made of silicone rubber or polyurethane have the above-mentioned advantage, they have the disadvantage that they do not have sufficient firmness to be inserted easily into the body. Thus polyvinyl chloride tubes and polyethylene tubes are still commonly used for this purpose. With catheter 2 of this invention the problem is overcome by the application of a double-wall tube.
The double-wall tube consists of a nonthrombogenic material such as silicone rubber or polyurethane on the outside of the tube and a plastic material on the inside of the tube. The inner plastic material is firmer than the outer tube 14 and must have a sufficient rigidity to withstand the pressure exerted against the body section 11 of the catheter 2 when left in a vein. Therefore, the inner tube 15 is made of plastics such as polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride and polyesters. An X-ray-opaque substance such as barium sulfate can be compounded in the interior tube to form an X-ray-opaque line.
Tip portion 16 of catheter 2 can be open-ended or can be closed if holes are provided on the side wall. As shown in FIG. 3, tip portion 16 can be an extension of outer tube 14. In such a case, the irritation to the wall of the blood vessel can be reduced.
As mentioned above, outer end 17 of catheter 2 is gradually enlarged, i.e., has an inverse taper. Inverse taper end 17 is inserted into the annular groove between recessed portion 18' and 19. The groove encircles the exterior surface of inside piece 18' of fitting 13 so that end 17 is fixed at this position. A tapered portion 12 is provided on the exterior surface of outside piece 19 as the continuation of the taper provided at end 17 of the catheter. A cylindrical piece 20 is attached to the end of the outside piece 19. These pieces 18, 19 and 20 are engaged to form a uniform fitting 13. A cylindrical hole 21 is provided in cylindrical piece 20. This hole can be fitted to transfusion set, or the like. Of course, cylindrical hole 21 communicates with catheter 2. Fitting 13 is generally made of materials such as ABS resin and polyvinyl chloride. However, the materials are not limited to these types.
In the catheter apparatus of this invention, the taper angle of tapered portion 12 is an important factor. The taper angle of tapered portion 12 must be slightly greater than the taper angle of tapered interior surface 10 of enlarged portion 4 of cannula 1 as shown in FIG. 4.
After catheter 2 is inserted into the body, cannula 1 is withdrawn and the withdrawn cannula is moved upward along the catheter until tapered interior surface 10 of enlarged portion 4 of the cannula is engaged with tapered portion 12 of fitting 13. Thus, cannula 1 is fixed on the fixture.
Fitting 13 having taper portion 13 was explained above in one mode of execution, but the fitting is not limited to this mode of execution. For example, a one-piece fitting having a taper portion can be molded in advance and then the catheter tube can be attached to the fitting.
Cross-sections cut along the lines VII--VII, VIII--VIII and IX--IX in FIG. 3 are shown in FIGS. 7, 8 and 9, respectively. The size of the catheter is not limited. The outer diameter of catheter body portion 11 typically ranges from 0.5 to 5 mm and its length typically ranges from 15 to 200 cm.
The method for the application of the catheter apparatus of this invention will be described below, with reference to FIGS. 4-6. FIG. 4 shows a schematized cross-section of a patient. 22 represents the patient's skin and 23 represents the patient's vein. Cannula 1 is fitted with needle 6 of the cannula insertion device as shown in FIG. 2. The needle is used to insert cannula 1 through the skin and the wall of the vein. When tip 8 of the needle 6 reaches the vein, blood spurts through the hollow portion of the needle and the blood appears in the syringe. This phenomenon confirms that the cannula and needle have penetrated into the vein.
The cannula insertion device consisting of syringe 5 and needle 6 is then withdrawn, leaving cannula 1 in the body.
As shown in FIG. 5, the catheter 2 is inserted into the vein with the tip portion 16 being guided by cannula 1. When catheter 2 has been inserted to the desired position, cannula 1 alone is withdrawn without moving catheter 2. As shown in FIG. 6, the withdrawn cannula 1 is moved along catheter 2 until the tapered portion of the cannula is engaged with tapered portion 12 of fitting 13 attached to the other end of catheter 2. The cannula is firmly held at this position so that it does not move freely along the catheter. A commercial transfusion set or other desired instruments can be attached to fitting 13 by means of a connector 24.
The present invention has been disclosed in the above teachings and drawings with sufficient clarity and conciseness to enable one skilled in the art to make and use the invention, to know the best mode for carrying out the invention and to distinguish it from other inventions and from what is old. Many variations and obvious adaptations of the inventions will readily come to mind, and these are intended to be contained within the scope of the invention as claimed below.

HPC Centers Role in Driving CAE Simulation
by Greg Clifford Leave a Comment
My recent blog posts have focused on performance enhancements to CAE applications and especially the scalability of ISV applications. A key point of this discussion is that it takes team effort to achieve these results. You need production models from the user community, the cooperation of application developers and computational scientists, access to large compute resources, and HPC system expertise. In this blog, I want to highlight the critical role HPC centers play in providing resources and expertise to improve the performance and effectiveness of CAE simulation for manufacturing companies. Leading HPC Centers Several of the largest HPC systems in the world are located at national HPC research centers. These centers are often ... [ Read More ]
University of Chicago Researchers Make Strides in Genome Sequencing
by Carlos Sosa 3 Comments
When Charles Darwin explored the Galapagos Islands and developed his theory of natural selection, he did so with the help of the H.M.S. Beagle. The University of Chicago is building on his pioneering work using a supercomputer and storage provided by Cray, also called the Beagle. Darwin's ship gained historic status not because it was particularly unique or special, but because it was the vehicle that carried him to the locations where he completed research that redefined the way we look at evolutionary theory. The Beagle became famous because it was a tool that enabled Darwin to do his work. Theories are essential, but tools are the means by which researchers test their hypotheses and make new discoveries. Today, high performance ... [ Read More ]
What's in a (Supercomputer) Name?

When Applications Go Exascale — The CRESTA Project
by Jason Beech-Brandt 1 Comment
Seymour Cray, the pioneer of supercomputing, famously asked if you would rather plough a field with two strong oxen or 1024 chickens. The question has since been answered for us: power restrictions have driven CPU manufacturers away from "oxen" (powerful single-core devices) towards multi- and many-core "chickens." An exascale supercomputer will take this a leap further, connecting tens of thousands of many-core nodes, leaving application programmers with the challenge of efficiently harnessing the computing power of tens of millions of threads. This challenge is not just for the applications themselves, but everything underneath — from the operating and runtime systems, through the communication and scientific libraries to the compilers ...

If you haven't played Darksiders II yet, Deathinitive Edition is a good place to start
- Written by Destructoid
Darksiders II has become a sort of joke within our community by way of the hashtag #Darksiders2, fostered by our resident funny man, Occams. To this day our readers still use that tag to denote something particularly garish, like wearing a Jack Skellington shirt to an opera concert, for example.
But to get real for a second, Darksiders II is a damn good action game, and something I'd consider required reading at this point for action fans. The Deathinitive Edition isn't necessarily that big of an upgrade, but it's a good way to introduce yourself to the franchise.

Emile Heskey had a reasonable game against Israel. He got involved and hassled an admittedly shaky Israeli defence. But has he done enough to warrant a start against Russia? Or should Peter Crouch be returned to the starting line-up now that he has returned from suspension?
Emile or Peter? Or should we be thinking about another striker altogether? Your shout.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
wot r u lot on heskey benn well good crouch ruins the team. who cares if heskey hasnt scored hes been so creative and hes better in the air than crouch, the amount of times heskey has been in on goal r amazin plus u cant expect him to join the team and suddenly be at the top of his game so things can only get better with heskey. personally i think the question should be heskey or rooney

this isnt even a really good question. crouch is ten times better than heskey.

I always thought Heskey to be a donkey, but in the last two England games he was a different kind of player than before, I.E. he laid off balls for Owen ,he took two players where ever he went and played "TEAM" football . I hope the big headed super stars are gone forever, Heskey, Barry , Wright-Phillps are different class,just my opinion. regards P Garett.

well i say dont tinker with winning formulars
I would play Heskey over Crouch any day of the week!!!
We used to say Heskey spent a lot of time on the floor but at least he can head the ball unlike Peter!!
i think that they should play Crouch because he has talent and more reach
Emile in the side, Crouchie misses too may opportunities. Emile played well and with composure. Crouchie runs around knocks quite a few in, but also misses some golden opportunities.

I really like what you have done with Subscribe2 in 7.x. Well done, and thanks for the great plugin.
I have a Feature request for handling Registered Subscribers. I have Registered Subscribers and Public Subscribers. It would be nice if Registered Subscribers would be handled as Public Subscribers so that they could "Unsubscribe" to e-mail notifications, while remaining as Registered WP users, and vice-versa.
Here are the use case scenarios:
1) When a new user is registering they are also Subscribed for e-mail notifications. Later on, they want to de-register as a WP user, but still receive e-mail notifications.
2) When a new user is registering they are also Subscribed for e-mail notifications. Later on, they do not want to receive e-mail notifications, but still remain registered WP users.
Note: The option to "unsubscribe" from e-mail notifications is required by European law. Registering/De-registering from WordPress should be mutually exclusive from e-mail notifications.

so is this better than the 4670?
Player1 Nov 19, 09
It performs roughly right in the middle of the 4770 and 4670.

Awesome review. I never seen a frog robot before. lol. I hope NVIDIA comes out with something to compete with 5970

Nice review there, I think Palit is moving up in the world with really nice looking coolers but they have always been a budget card maker. I think Palit is a very young manufacture when it comes down to the graphics card areas.

… there's a warm spot in Greenland for leaders who play petty political games with the future lives and well-being of our children and grandchildren.
And for this retirement package, the Los Angeles Times is nominating Rep. John D. Dingell (D-Mich.), chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and a man who makes the Republican dinosaur Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe look almost like a reasonable person.
Dingell, who is deeply devoted to the U.S. auto industry, is doing everything in his power to sabotage the U.S. effort to address climate change. It's democrats like these who inspire Americans to vote for third-party candidates like Ralph A-Plague-on-Both-Your-Houses Nader - or maybe Michael Bloomberg.
a lesson to be learned
The one good thing that may come of Dingell's tactic is more grass roots effort and better campaign finance reform. My guess is he knows what the right thing to do is but can't find his backbone. He's explicit about the problem: the American people aren't willing to do what's necessary (and likely aren't aware of the size of the problem) to make the changes we are asking of them. Without their (the people's) support Dingell can't get re-elected if he opposes the wishes of the auto industry.
We need to do everything we can to help politicians find their backbones and to elect ones who know where they are.
