DALLAS - Flamboyant Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens said "there was no suicide attempt," explaining that he mixed painkillers with supplements and became groggy.
As if to prove he's doing fine, Owens went from the hospital to catching passes from quarterback Drew Bledsoe within two hours, then proclaimed himself "very capable of going out there and playing on Sunday" - despite whatever happened Tuesday night and a broken right hand.
Owens said the confusion likely stemmed from an empty bottle of pain medication found by his publicist, who was with him at the time and called 911. He said the rest of the pills were in a drawer.
"I was non-responsive when she made that call," Owens said. "She made the call out of her judgment for my well-being."
Appearing in a news conference at team headquarters a few hours after leaving a hospital for what a police report described as "a drug overdose," Owens wore workout gear and no bandage on his right hand. The star receiver smiled and seemed more amused than peeved at the latest ruckus surrounding him.
Owens, 32, blamed a combination of hydrocodone, a generic form of Vicodin, with all-natural supplements for making him ill.
"It's very unfortunate for it to go from an allergic reaction to a suicide attempt," he said.
Rescue workers arrived at Owens' home around 8 p.m. Tuesday and took him to an emergency room. When word spread, publicist Kim Etheredge said it was an allergic reaction.
But the story shifted Wednesday morning when several media outlets received a police report - that had yet to be released by the authorities - saying Owens had attempted suicide by overdosing on the painkillers, even putting two more pills into his mouth after an unidentified friend, later identified as Etheredge, intervened.
The police document, first reported by WFAA-TV, said Owens was asked by rescue workers "if he was attempting to harm himself, at which time (he) stated: 'Yes.'"
"I was kind of out of it," Owens said. "I can barely even remember the doctors, much less the police officers asking me questions."
Owens also said that he's "not depressed about anything."
Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger during a game a week ago Sunday. The next day, doctors screwed in a plate so the bone could heal without fear of further damage - leaving a 2-inch scar on top of his hand.
If he doesn't play this Sunday, Owens might still return for the following game - Oct. 8, in Philadelphia, against the team that dumped him midway through last season only months after he helped them reach the Super Bowl.

A lot of games have shocking plot twists, weather it be that the ones closest too you were actually the enemy all along, or that you were the past dark lord of some ancient evil. But what do you think is the most shocking plot twist of all time? Should be interesting to hear you're opinions.
Doing some old school gaming.

The present application is a continuation-in-part of co-pending provisional application Ser. No. 60/305,315, filed Jul. 13, 2001.
The present invention relates to the field of medical devices and more particularly to catheters for delivery of radioactive material to a treatment site in a patient.
Angioplasty is an established procedure for reducing the effect of atherosclerotic plaque on and intraluminal narrowing of the arterial walls within the vascular system of the patient. The effect is reduced by use of a catheter that is inserted into the site of the diseased-occluded vessel. A balloon portion of the catheter is then inflated to a predetermined pressure range and size, to radially compress the plaque occlusion, thereby increasing the internal diameter of the previously restricted artery. The balloon is then collapsed and the catheter is removed.
After the angioplasty procedure has been performed, as many as one-third to one-half of the patients soon develop restenosis. Restenosis can occur after angioplasty or other recannulation procedures, with or without stenting, wherein the migration and proliferation of benign cells cause a restenotic lesion to form, resulting in the further blockage of the intravascular structure.
Radiation is administered to patients for a variety of reasons, such as to treat restenosis, malignant or benign tumors, or the like. Examples of such treatments are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,059,166; 5,213,561; and 5,302,168.
A catheter system is known from U.S. Pat. No. 5,916,143 to Apple et al, and also from WO 99/12609, wherein an inert radioactive fluid such as a gas, like xenon-133, is delivered endovascularly to a treatment site in a patient, for treatment of restenosis after angioplasty, and for malignancies. When the catheter's balloon arrangement is inflated, it may include a plurality of discrete chambers for transporting the radiogas, and the catheter also includes a plurality of discrete chambers enabling substantial blood flow through the artery during treatment with the prescribed radiation.
Known xenon-133 single-balloon systems provide excellent shallow depth dose rates to 0.5 mm in easily handleable quantities in short treatment times. However, higher activity quantities or greater treatment times are required to obtain deeper depth dose profiles and could then create too high a surface dose without balloon wall thickening to screen out lower energy electrons.
Another form of radiation treatment utilizes seed or wire systems, such as those having iodine-125 or utilizing iridium-192. One such brachytherapy source wire is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,141,487 in which a source wire comprises iridium-192/platinum wire within a platinum sheath. Another is described in WO 00/04953, in which a brachytherapy device is a needle that is adapted to implant into a patient, seeds comprising an iridium-192/platinum alloy encased within plastic.
Known iodine-125 sources are not made to activity levels that are high enough for, or that are practically designed for, short term high dose rate brachytherapy for vessels or non-solid organs. They are inherently poorly centered and non-conformal in a thin catheter. At millimeter tissue distances, it does not provide higher needed shallow dose rates although providing better deeper dose rates for complete target minimal dose coverage.
It is desired to provide a radioactive source treatment system that is particularly suitable for endovascular use in larger arteries, for use with large diameter lumen catheters, and also that is useful for treatment of larger hollow cavity organ sites.
It is also desired to maintain limited treatment times, limited radioactivity quantities and controllable, variable-depth doses and dose rates for different sites.
The foregoing problems are solved and a technical advance is achieved in an illustrative minimally invasive medical device for providing a radiation treatment in a body passageway such as a vessel in the vascular system. The catheter assembly includes a balloon arrangement having a noncompliant or minimally compliant outer balloon for containing the radioactive fluid such as an inert radioactive gas, and an inner displacement balloon that is separately filled with fluid ("fluidically distinct"). Use of an inner balloon of substantial diameter upon inflation, reduces the volume in which the radioactive gas resides within a target vessel or passageway, thereby reducing the amount of radioactive gas required for treatment. Preferably, the inner balloon is also noncompliant, and as a result there will be a substantially constant spacing between the inflated inner balloon and the outer balloon's outer wall. Upon inflation of both inner and outer balloons, the outer balloon will define a cylinder of radioactive fluid of limited thickness pressing against the patient's vessel wall at the target site, conforming well to the vessel wall.
The inflation lumen for the outer balloon is small to minimize the amount of gas in the catheter and maximize the amount of gas in the balloon, while the inner balloon inflation lumen is much larger for the delivery of nonradioactive fluid such as contrast fluid. Optionally, the inner balloon can have an outer treatment or material that changes the properties of the radioactive particles which contact the surface. Preferably the fluid for the inner balloon is contrast media. Inflation of the inner balloon forces more of the radiogas to be closer to the tissue; therefore, increasing the pressure of the radiogas is equivalent to increasing its concentration.
In another aspect of the invention, a catheter assembly is adapted for use with additional radioactive sources such as seeds or guidewire, and is particularly adapted for removable radioactive sources for multiple treatment procedures of those sources. Such a catheter assembly may combine both the radiofluid-filled outer balloon and the removable nonfluid radioactive sources, such as seeds, that boost the effective dose above that provided with the radiofluid-filled outer balloon alone. The booster radioactive sources may be in the form of elongate seed trains placed around and along the length of the inner balloon. The booster radioactive sources may also be in the form of a sleeve containing radioactive seeds or material between the inner and outer balloons, for surrounding the inner balloon and that expands and collapses with inflation and deflation of the inner balloon.
In an additional aspect of the present invention, the inner balloon may be affixed to an inner catheter of small diameter, while the outer balloon containing radiofluid would be affixed to an outer catheter of larger diameter, with the catheters being preassembled to each other prior to insertion into a patient over a guide wire, or the catheters being sequentially inserted into a patient over a guide wire, preferably with the use of insertion depth markings on both at their proximal ends.
Embodiments of the present invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
As used herein, the term "fluid" includes any gas, liquid, or gel-type substance that generally conforms to the shape of the container within which it is held, and is fluent. While the catheter apparatus of the present invention is used in conjunction with a radioactive carrier fluid, it is preferred that the fluid is a gas, and for reasons hereinafter set forth, an inert gas, such as preferably xenon, or an isotope of xenon. However, the present invention is not limited to xenon gas or an isotope thereof, and the preferred fluid includes all gases and isotopes thereof, radioactive gases or radiogases (inert and/or non-inert) or gases capable of fluorescence, phosphorescence, or luminescence (electron stimulation). Examples of gases include, but are not limited to, xenon, krypton, neon, radon and their isotopes. A radiogas can be dissolved in a liquid or solution (sterile) such as sterile water or saline and be used as a liquid radiofluid. Liquids include all isotopes of liquids and solutions. An isotope can be radioactive or non-radioactive. Radioactive includes nuclear (nucleus) decay of an atom. A radionuclide is any radioactive atom. Fluorescence, phosphorescence or luminescence is associated with electron instability and subsequent emission of radiant energy. Liquids also include all gasses dissolved in liquids or solutions. Examples of liquids include, but are not limited to, liquid phosphorus, rhenium, yttrium, technetium, iodine, gallium, chromium, strontium, thallium, samarium, ytterbium, palladium, and all isotopes thereof, and all compounding and binding solutions thereof. All gels utilizing the aforementioned gases or liquids (solutions) are also contemplated. Additional radionuclides can include osmium, vanadium, ruthenium, bismuth, or other transitional heavy metals and their isotopes for liquid and/or gel-type compounding. All inert dual photon/electron emitting radionuclides are further contemplated as well as all inert single particle radio-emitting nuclides and all non-inert radionuclides thereof. Still further contemplated are all inert or non-inert radiofluids which use electron stimulation to produce by-product fluorescent, phosphorescent or luminescent radiant energy for patient treatment. The use of by-product radiant energy emissions including fluorescent, phosphorescent or luminescent emissions can be utilized for therapeutic treatment. Implementation of radionuclide and by-product radiant energy emissions can be applied by the use of the catheter apparatus in the following combinations;
(a) gases and/or fluids or single fluids alone either as a gas—gas or gasliquid, and/or either inert or non-inert, and/or radioactive or non-radioactive such that the photon or electron emissions of one radiofluid can induce electron shift, scatter, or a quantum level change in the electron shell of the same or other combined "fluid" atoms thereby causing production of relatively low energy photon/electron (possibly in a cascaded amplification) emissions into the targeted tissue as a controlled/calculated dose;
(b) radiofluid(s) as described in (a), except that induction of listed radiant energy is provided via electrical source stimulation from an electrode, cathode, wire or other transmission source such that controlled electrical currents and/or electrical potential delivered through the catheter to the radiofluid or non-radiofluid of the balloon catheter which causes expected electron excitation and/or quantum level fluctuations with by-product fluorescence, phosphorescence and/or luminescence for the aforementioned therapeutic treatments; and
(c) phosphorus and/or other known fluorescent metals or alloys are implanted in the balloon material and/or catheter structure so that the combinations described in (a) and (b); radioemission, by-product decay energy and/or direct electrical stimulation can cause effect on the implanted/layered materials so as to create fluorescent, phosphorescent or luminescent energy delivery as these materials stabilize their electron structure after such stimulation.
The radiation dose rate of a balloon material is a function of or is dependent upon the thickness of the balloon material, the density of the balloon material, and/or the volume of the balloon. In addition, the volume is, in turn, dependent upon the length of the radiation source and, in particular, the longitudinal length of the balloon along with the diameter and radius of the balloon. The axial length of the balloon is important with respect to the radiation source in that accumulative dosimetry effects (scatter, coincidence, photo electric) are achieved with the radioactive fluid disposed along the length of the catheter. The radiation dose rate is also effected by the surface area of the inflatable balloon in response to the radioactive fluid.
Radiation source activity is a function of the radioactive fluid or preferably of the radioactive gas that is used with the radiation treatment. As described hereinafter, radioactive xenon-133 gas is preferred in that it is an inert gas that provides synchronous gamma and beta radiation emission with a half life of approximately five days. Concentrations of xenon-133 gas can typically range from 10 mCi to 150 mCi per cc or more of gas volume at the time of calibration. Radioactive xenon-133 gas, and less commonly used xenon-127 gas and krypton 85, as well as, technetium compounds, have been widely used for several years and proven relatively safe within medically accepted radiation levels for nuclear diagnostic studies involving the lung and the measurement of blood and fluid flow rates through vessels to specific organs. When used as an unsealed free-gas form, the inert, noble gas properties essentially enable the molecules to rapidly dissipate throughout the body of the patient or through a room, without any prolonged organ accumulation or interaction within specific dose ranges. Any xenon that enters the bloodstream is quickly released to the air within the lungs as the blood passes therethrough, and is then exhaled.
Xenon is a very stable element which can be pressurized, stored, and made to high millicurie activity per cubic centimeter (cc) with very reasonable cost and availability.
Xenon-133 provides both a beta particle (101 kev avg.; 364 kev max.), and at least two usable photons (32 kev 48 percent; 81 kev 37 percent).
The beta particles offer excellent initial dose rate delivery when directly adjacent to the tissue within the first millimeter. The particle does not penetrate much beyond the first millimeter of tissue, thereby not contributing to any significant distal normal tissue exposure.
The gamma photon energies and their decay fractions provide complementary dose deposition for the first millimeter, and primary dose delivery for an additional several millimeters of arterial wall and adjacent tissue. The high percent of attenuated, and lower energy photons beyond this point provide for ease of personnel protection with routine lead jackets, or by placing a cover over the external surface of the treated region. Furthermore, the sensitivity of a small field gamma camera provides simple image monitoring and dose evaluation simultaneously.
Xenon-133 is commercially available within a week in concentration ranges from 10 mCi to 200 or 300 mCi or more per cc of gas volume. Also, the cost is currently estimated to be less than a few hundred dollars a dose of 150 mCi. A single dose order can be used to treat several patients per day for a full week, as the physical half-life is 5.2 days, although this may be impractical since some percentage loss of gas is expected to occur during transfer. Also, no special equipment, storage, or delivery devices are necessary, except for routine facilities available in most nuclear medicine or radiation oncology departments.
In vivo and in vitro facilities with standard exhaust hoods or negative pressure rooms provide adequate protection for this sealed use of xenon gas. A metered dose can safely and readily be transported to nearly any treatment site by one person, and administered by one person without special radiation protection needs, such as is necessary with higher energy photon sources for conventional brachytherapy. The most expensive addition to a standard treatment room is a simple negative pressure ventilation system, as a backup safety mechanism.
Radiation exposure time is prescribed by the attending physician, commonly with a speciality in radiation oncology, nuclear medicine or nuclear oncology. Exposure times range from less than a minute upwards to ten minutes, depending on the activity of the radiation source. Particular concentrations of the radiation source are normally provided with commercially available radiation sources. These concentrations are used by the physician to determine radiation exposure time. The radiation dose rate is a function of the properties of delivery devices, which in turn is a function of balloon material thickness, density and volume. An external or internal brachytherapy medical radiation delivery device can be experimentally dose calibrated and verified by a radiation physician specialist, medical physicist, or certified radio/nuclear laboratory, or with approved device-specific computer software for patient treatment. With such a calibrated radiation dose rate, the physician can calculate and prescribe the required radiation source concentrations and exposure times for treatment of the patient. The calibration of the delivery device typically includes positioning the delivery device in a phantom and positioning radiation detectors/sensors at a prescribed distance away from the delivery device in the phantom. A series of measurements are used to graph the radiation from a series of radioactive fluid concentrations applied thereto. Such calibration is necessary and demanded by various regulatory agencies so that the radiation treatment provided to a patient is within specified limits of the prescribed total radiation dose.
The embodiment shown in
The inner balloon 18 may be made of polyethylene material and preferably is noncompliant, being expandable to a controlled outer diameter. Its outer wall 26 may be thicker, and/or metallized, and/or inelastic compared to that of the outer balloon. Inner balloon 18 would be inflated by a nonradioactive fluid, such as CO2, saline or a contrast medium, and would be labeled "Non-Radioliquid Only"; preferably the inner balloon is of a material that is impermeable and impervious to radiogas to prevent contamination of the fluid used with the inner balloon. It is preferred that the distal ends of the outer and inner balloons converge as they are joined to the catheter shaft, and the proximal ends as well, so that the inflation of both balloons results in a cylinder of radiogas. It is believed that shielding of the catheter shaft is unnecessary; its small lumen, and its placement within a guiding catheter, will result in minimal activity of the radiofluid at the outermost surface of the catheter and no effect on nearby surrounding tissue.
Shielding materials may include high density material of at least one of barium, tungsten, lead, tantalum, titanium, bismuth, gold, platinum, palladium, rhodium, or any other similar suitable material. A coating on the outer wall of the inner balloon may include a gas/fluid impermeable layer of nontoxic, unreactive carbon-chain/polymer based substances; which may also be integrated with metal alloy components to create scatter and/or brehmsstrahlung byproduct radiation effects.
Additionally, coatings and/or integrated ferromagnetic alloys or alloys of equivalent metallic properties may be utilized to extract the clinical benefit of secondary hyperthermia effects, including empirically self-regulating by "alloy properties", such that the radiation emissions and the physics of their interaction with the ferromagnetic (or equivalent) elements creates local increased heating of the tissue. The maximal temperature range of the catheter wall and the tissue would be a predictable value. (i.e., 45� C.�10%) such that known radiobiologic advantages with combined radiotherapy and hyperthermia could be exploited for treatment benefits, such as better efficacy, shorter treatment times or doses, and so forth.
The catheter assembly 10 would have three distinct lumens: a guide wire lumen 28 for guide wire 30, an inflation lumen 22 of large diameter for the inner balloon 18, and a small diameter lumen 20 for inflating the outer balloon 16 with radiogas, with the inflation port 32 for the inner balloon being distal to the inflation port 34 for the outer balloon.
Catheter assembly 10 also includes proximal controls (not shown) and connectors of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,916,143, and would include separate controls for the radiofluid and the nonradioliquid for the outer and inner balloons, respectively.
The outer balloon may have specific sites where a thicker and/or denser wall would be desired to exploit predominant penetration of only highest energy Beta particles and/or photons, thereby providing a totally different depth dose profile. Optionally, the catheter may have a magnetizing section at the balloon section, for subjecting the radiogas to a magnetic flux for electron acceleration of gas in outer balloon; such a catheter assembly is disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/748,327 filed Dec. 26, 2000. Also, the inner balloon wall 26 may have outpouching folds, or either concentric and/or longitudinal ribbed pocketing at intervals, would decrease the net volume and increase the internal pressure of the gas/fluid injected within the space between the inner and outer balloons, to allow greater compression and decreased volume of the outer balloon.
In the embodiment of
Preferably the channel or lumen 126 for the guide wire 128 extends along and within the wall of the large catheter 106, to eliminate affecting the centering of the radioactive line source lumen 116. Optionally, though, a small diameter tube could be affixed along and to the inside surface of the catheter wall. The outer balloon 108 is preferably thin-walled and conformal for radiogas under low pressure. The inner balloon 112 would be filled with a nonradioactive fluid such as CO2 or a radio-opaque (contrast) liquid and would be inelastic with thickened walls and be presized to match the larger catheter's diameter.
In a further embodiment of catheter assembly 200 shown in
In catheter assembly 200, the inner catheter 208 defines centrally therethrough a channel that is bifurcated by a septum or inner wall 224, into a guide wire lumen 226 extending completely therethrough for delivery of the catheter assembly 200 along guide wire 228, and a line source lumen 230 that has a closed distal end 232 that serves as an insertion limit for appropriate placement of the radioactive line source at the treatment site. The radioactive line source 234 would be inserted along line source lumen 230 after placement of the catheter assembly distal end 236 at the treatment site, but before inflation of the inner and outer balloons 204,212 as a booster radiosource for depth dose acceleration.
For large vascular or for nonvascular applications such as esophageal, bladder, biliary tree, the device may be inserted under direct visualization, or palpation, or via the larger bore internal diameter of an endoscope, and so the device need not have a guide wire nor a guide wire lumen.
The embodiment of
As with the concentric balloon embodiment of
Seed sleeve 402 could be made of superelastic material such as nitinol. The plurality of seed sources 404 could be disposed on seed sleeve 402 in rows and columns forming a grid, as seen in
The catheter systems of the present invention shown in
Referring now to
Optionally, a pre-fixed or insertable/removable smaller internal displacement balloon allows preferably for use of CO2 gas as the inflation medium which provides much less attenuation of energy from the indwelling/inserted radioactive line source prior to the radiation reaching the tissue surface, while the inflated inner balloon centers the line source. A liquid such as saline could also be substituted in the inner balloon. Then as an option, xenon-133 gas or its radioactive equivalent would then go into the outer balloon, thus boosting the line source radiation while maintaining centering.
Balloon-in-balloon displacement of the present invention may alone provide a good xenon-133 concentration and outward abutment with the target tissue, with proper inner balloon/outer balloon ratios of diameters (0.8 to 0.9) and wall thicknesses. The inner balloon should be noncompliant and should have a fixed outer diameter upon inflation. The outer balloon should also be noncompliant and may have variable thicknesses depending on site of treatment and desired depth dose and related screening out of lower energy Beta particles.
Basic Method:
1) A guide wire is inserted into the patient's vessel until its distal tip just passes the target site.
2) Either (a) if a single-unit assembly is being utilized, the catheter with its balloons uninflated, is inserted into the patient over the guide wire until its distal end reaches the target site; the catheter could be a catheter having a large diameter; or
(b) if a two-catheter system is being utilized, the primary catheter with a large diameter and its outer balloon uninflated, is first placed over the guide wire and its distal end delivered to the treatment site, and then a smaller secondary catheter with a non-radiofluid balloon is placed into a special lumen port of the primary catheter and delivered to the target site within the uninflated outer balloon.
3) The inner balloon is inflated with a preselected volume of CO2 or a contrast liquid (if needed).
4) Xenon-133 gas is injected into the outer balloon port.
5) After passage of the desired treatment time given, with or without perfusion as desired, the xenon-133 gas is withdrawn as much as possible, the nonradioactive fluid in inner balloon is withdrawn as much as possible.
6) Finally, the whole catheter system is removed from the patient and the balloon catheter(s) is/are discarded.
If booster radioactive sources are utilized with the concentric balloons of the present invention, step 2 is modified depending upon which type of booster source adapter is being used. For example, with regard to

Milwaukee music stalwarts join forces on 'Plays Well With Others'
Local electric guitar whiz Greg Koch called in a bunch of favors for the Greg Koch Band's latest album, "Plays Well With Others." Guest contributors range from New Orleans funk musician Jon Cleary to Paul Barrere from acclaimed genre-blending rock band Little Feat to Leonard Cohen's musical director, Roscoe Beck. There's also an appearance from blues guitarist and singer Joe Bonamassa, who is so popular he sold out the 2,500-seat Riverside Theater this year.
But the most important friend on Koch's new album is closer to home: John Sieger, frontman for local Americana band Semi-Twang. "Plays Well With Others" marks the first time these two local music heavyweights, who have 24 albums between them, have joined forces. Koch wrote the bulk of the music, while Sieger handled the lyrics and sang on all the tracks except one. "I got possessive," Sieger said, half-jokingly. They talked about the collaboration in advance of their show Friday night at Summerfest. »Read Full Article

Pittsford man hurt in crashSeptember 17,2013POULTNEY — A Pittsford man was hospitalized following a car crash Monday morning.
State Police said Edward V. Dupont, 18, was driving south on Route 30 when he lost control of his 2001 Toyota Corolla just north of Ward Road.
According to police, Dupont's car struck a road sign, hit a ditch, was launched through the air and landed on its roof in the front yard of a residence.
Dupont was taken to Rutland Regional Medical Center with what police described as a wrist injury. His condition was not immediately available.
Police said the crash was not alcohol-related but it appears speed was a major contributing factor.

A Timely New Book To Help The Millions On Unemployment
The Unemployment Budget - Your financial survival plan Buffalo, NY (myPressManager.com) January 09, 2012 Only after the author stared bankruptcy in the face was he prepared to do the unthinkable, create a budget.
Only after the author stared bankruptcy in the face was he prepared to do the unthinkable, create a budget. Not only did he avoid bankruptcy, he survived his own financial nightmare and seasons of unemployment. The author also learned and fine-tuned the budget process. After getting his own house in order, Patrick Mellody, started sharing his easy budget process with others. In this book Patrick uses real life stories from his 17 years as a volunteer budget coach to walk the reader through this timely new book.
Over 14 Million Americans are unemployed and need a plan to survive, now! With incomes slashed and assets on the line families need help prioritizing their limited funds. This book includes two budgets.
The Crisis Budget – For anyone that needs help today! When life is down to the wire and families need to make quick but informed decisions, this budget is for them. The reader learns how to protect their personal triangle of basic needs and can utilize the solid list of referral services in the book to work with their creditors.
The Unemployment Budget – This budget is more detailed and will help the reader get more organized. They will have a solid foundation on which they can not only survive but be able to move forward. Financial stress will be reduced and allow them to focus on finding their next job.
Each short chapter starts with a story of someone Patrick helped develop a budget over his seventeen years as a volunteer budget coach. Every story is unique and has a part to play in the budget process. At the end of each chapter there is a simple form to fill in that will help the reader on their way.
Here is what the reader can expect from this book:
- a complete understanding of where their money is going on a monthly basis.
- exactly how much they are over/under spending in every category of life. Housing, food, auto and so on. They will also know how much they are over/under spending totally per month and what to do about it.
- have "New Found Money" that was saved by adjusting their spending habits.
- a web site where they can download all the forms in this book for no charge.
- a solid contact for a non-profit organization that will create a debt re-payment plan that will help relieve financial stress.
- discover how to survive this temporary season of life.
Please join me in helping the millions of unemployed Americans by promoting this book in your sphere of influence. Thank you.
The book is affordably priced at only $2.99 for the e-book version, and $6.99 for the paperback version. To read a chapter for free, or to purchase the book, visit http://budgetsthatwork.com.

best PART no 3D
best PART no 3D
so everybody busy gushing over avengers??
I'm more excited about this.
hold onto your butts!
Looks awesome!
Lakers Suck.
Looper looks good.
TDKR trailer here looks okay. I'm going to try to resist watching it a million times and formulating an idea of what happens and the overall mood for the movie before even seeing it. That said, this latest trailer does make me feel that it's going to be only a 7/10 and likely the worst in the trilogy. Solid still but far from impressive and a letdown unfortunately.
My biggest complaint is of Bane. The previous trailer had him utter one line. "When Gotham is ashes, you have my permission to die." His voice sounded perfect. There was a depth to it, a Hannibal Lecter-like genius in his tone. But hearing more of his lines in this more recent trailer, I don't hear that same tone, nor voice even. In addition, Hardy doesn't looked very jacked. He looks in shape, somewhat buff, but nothing special. I don't read comics and have only a rudimentary understanding of who and what Bane's all about. I don't need him to be 6'5", 290 pounds, like in the comics or whatever. But I need someone that looks bigger than that. Someone who's presence is more intimidating.
Hopefully some great writing, storyline, acting all around, and camera work will make up for what I have a feeling is coming.
I'm actually most excited for Prometheus.
Okay, I watched the trailer for a second time and did an almost complete 180 on Bane. I'm ****ing stoked.
wish i could be exited for promethues but it will only be shown in what normal people call 3D.
ussually movies that you normals call "3D" are only shown in "3D"
so no i wont pay extra for crappier technology.
so not really looking foward to it.
ooh wait i am looking foward to it when it is released on bluray.
anywao you might be wondering what i call 3d. 3d is called stereoscope, it aint 3d it has no 3rd dimension it's just stereoscope

(Re: Letter to the editor, Nov. 6.)
Rosemary Velasquez wrote, "I was overcome further with sadness because I wondered if this outcome is because there are so few Democrats in our area or too many Republicans. Or is it simply because Amarillo 'might' still be living in a racial era?" To imply that we are "racial" because we are a predominantly Republican state is offensive. Texas has long been considered a Republican state.

Starbucks, Supercuts and more coming to West 12th St. and Pittsburgh Ave.
The developers of the renovated Pittsburgh Commons retail plaza said they hoped their project would spark other renewal in the West 12th Street and Pittsburgh Avenue area.
And whether Pittsburgh Commons in Millcreek Township gets the credit or not, it appears the high-traffic area is undergoing a revival -- including what soon will be the completion of the plaza's redevelopment.
Contractors are done with the conversion of a former Citizens Bank branch at 2207-2217 W. 12th St. into what will become a Starbucks, with a drive-through lane, and the region's first Supercuts hair salon, said Jack Munch, director of leasing and development for Baldwin Brothers Inc.
Tenth Street Building Corp., an entity related to Baldwin Brothers, owns the plaza.
Munch said he expects both retail stores to open this summer now that the tenants are putting in fixtures, supplies and doing other internal building work.
Meanwhile, Moe's Southwest Grill has signed a lease to occupy the front half of the former Monro Muffler Brake & Service in the Lakewood Plaza, just east of Pittsburgh Commons, Munch said. That plaza, across the line into the city of Erie, houses Best Fitness, Valu Home Center and other businesses.
Monro moved to 2536 W. 26th St. in Millcreek.
The building that had housed Monro is owned by Erie Rental Headquarters Inc., another entity of Baldwin Brothers, Munch said.
Work has not begun on converting Monro to Moe's, but the new restaurant is expected to open later this year, Munch said. Erie Rental will convert the rest of the former Monro space -- the part that fronts Pittsburgh Avenue -- into storefronts, but no leases are signed yet for that space, he said.
And across West 12th Street, Erie Bank is getting ready to build another branch on the site of the former Taggart's Shop for Men. That location is part of the West Erie Plaza property that is slowly rebounding after local developer VCG Properties bought it in May 2012.
Other developments at the West Erie Plaza include: demolition of a long-empty gas station on the northwest corner of West 12th Street and Pittsburgh Avenue; the opening of Jimmy John's Gourmet Sandwiches; and renovations and facade improvements at three storefronts, including Hertel & Brown Physical and Aquatic Therapy and Dairy Queen. A third renovated storefront remains empty.
"We were hoping, when we reinvested in Pittsburgh Commons, that it would have a domino effect and that seems to be coming to fruition. We're seeing additional investment and additional interest in that intersection," Munch said.
Millcreek Supervisor Brian McGrath said he hopes the development at Pittsburgh Commons and other improvements at the busy intersection will lead to more occupancies in the West Erie Plaza.
Many storefronts in the plaza remain vacant, as is the former stand-alone store that had housed Gabriel Brothers. That discount store, now called Gabe's, moved to Summit Towne Centre in Summit Township.
"It's always good to see additional retail in that area, and hopefully that will encourage others to consider the plaza," McGrath said.
The West Erie Plaza, he said, is "headed in the right direction."

In bowl, beat egg very slightly; stir in sugar. Combine flour and salt and add to egg alternately with milk, blending until smooth.
Heat oil in deep-fat fryer or electric skillet to 400 degrees.
When oil is hot, dip end of rosette iron first into oil, tapping iron twice on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Then dip iron into batter, letting excess drip off. Dip iron back into hot oil for a few seconds, then slip rosette into the oil, nudging it off the iron as needed with a butter knife.
Flip rosettes after 30 seconds or so to brown the other side. As rosettes are done, remove from oil and set on paper-towel-lined surface to drain and cool. Repeat until all batter is used up.
Generously coat cooled rosettes on both sides with powdered sugar, flat side first. Re-powder leftover rosettes before serving.
Store rosettes in airtight containers at room temperature.

How sticky is this subject about bongos and all this heeby-jeebiness, ganondorf?
Well, that's a sticky subject. A very sticky subject. You will see these DK Bongos in a store and you will think that they are gay. In a totally unoffensive way you will think to yourself that they are the gayest things ever. You will mentally be trying not to offend, say, maybe your gay side, when you think of this. So you will either want to see what the big deal is, or walk past it for all of its lameness. The game will either be Donkey Konga or Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. Either way, the chance is very high of you thinking that these games will suck.
But a week once from this morrow I had the fortunate experience of allowing myself to enter a closing, get-rid-of-everything Toy's 'R' Us store, and for a great deal at 30%, I found a Jungle Beat for a measly 30 dollars-ish. I played it a bit on the machine, got a little interested, and considering what came with the package I decided to buy it.
Joo teh suxxx0rz, g4n0nd0rf.
Now you still think it's lame, huh? Your little lameophobic side is all like, 'My daddy kill me if he see me getting my freak on with a set of bongo drums.' And that's perfectly understandable to be afraid of daddy. He's a murderer, he is. But if you go out there and take the time to learn the game and actually, really play it, then you definitely won't be sorry both Jungle Beat and Konga (I'm guessing) are pick and play types of games. You can just come back and mess around whenever you want, and it'd still be fun. I don't know, I kind of like those kind of 'play whenever' games. No real stress to make sure you get past level 13 or anything. And it still gives you a good workout for your hands/arms if you play hard enough. It's a whole lot deeper than the stores or the critics or even Nintendo lets you know. And I still haven't gotten Konga yet, so I don't know about that one, but... I haven't heard them all yet... but I've heard a few... the songs sound kind of... lame.
Conclude this biznotch then.
So. Go pick up Jungle Beat. Especially if you have a store nearby that's closing down. Especially then. Or even more especially if you have a Gamecube and want something to do for those precious 15 minutes of your life where nothing's happening. Don't worry about looking stupid because you'll be the only one who has to see yourself, and if anyone else is there watching the screen, then they will either be playing too or just see how truly incredible you really are. Daddy would be proud of his little boy/girl on this day.
And if you're worried about too many bright lights and happy music, get Fight Night Round 2 with it. It's for Gamecube too, you stupid 1up Gamefinder. Recognize it.
New Donkey Konga update
Finally I gave in to a buy one get one half off deal at a store and decided to get Donkey Konga (I won't say the other game I got with it because it's just too embarrassing and would ruin my reputation as a person in general, and no, it wasn't something kiddy, just something really, really stupid. To tell the truth dudes and dudettes, while Jungle Beat would be worth the 30 dollars I had spent on it, Donkey Konga would be worth the whole 50. ESPECIALLY if you have other bongos to go with it & play 2-player. ESPECIALLY that. If you don't already, he's what you do: you wait for your area to have a buy one game get one half-off deal, then just buy Donkey Konga for $50 and Donkey Kong Jungle Beat for $25. That way you can play Konga in all its 2-player (or more) glory while taking a break every once in a while to do some innovative-style platforming. Ignore the bad songs like Bingo, Kirby, and Campfire Medley and focus on the great ones like anything 80's, latin, or classic remixes of the great classics. And with Konga 2 out with licensed artists, and 3 coming on the way, the 2 bongos (or more) will not be ill-gotten gains.
(Actually, Donkey Konga 2 sucks. There are no licensed artists. Just lamer songs and less to do. It just may ruin the fun out of playing Konga 1 for you. Please skip it, for your own good.)
