Proposal supported by Willmar, Minn., City Council committee would reinstate fees for repeat false fire alarms
WILLMAR -- A proposal supported by the Willmar City Council's Public Works/Safety Committee would reinstate payment of fees for repeat false fire alarm offenders. The proposal will be considered by the council Monday.
Fire Chief Marv Calvin requested reinstatement of the fee policy, which would be aimed mainly at a few businesses that have alarm systems which are monitored by outside alarm companies. Calvin said the false alarms are due to either lack of maintenance or employee error.
The Fire Department had been charging a fee of $250 after the fifth false alarm to the same location during a 12-month period. The policy had brought in upwards of $3,000 in revenue in past years, Calvin said.
The fee was dropped, however, after the council in February repealed an ordinance that had governed a permit process for a technologically outdated alarm panel at the former downtown law enforcement center. Use of the panel ended when the law enforcement center was moved out of downtown more than 10 years ago.
Calvin proposed reinstating the fee at $250 effective Jan. 1, 2013, but proposed reducing the number of allowable false alarms from five to three before the fee takes effect.
Calvin said the cost of a fire call to taxpayers is more than $2,000. Calvin said the city's cost does not include the cost to employers when firefighters must leave their jobs to respond to fire alarms.
Calvin estimated the city would receive more than $6,000 in revenue if the fee were reinstated.
During discussion, the committee agreed to a motion by Rick Fagerlie to increase the fee to $500. He said responding to false alarms is a problem and he said people should maintain their systems so that the Fire Department would not have to respond to false alarms.
The committee directed staff to draft an ordinance that would allow the Fire Department to charge the fee.

It will certainly print quite a few hex numbers but probably not what
you want.
The biggest problem that I see is that you've made your pointer n a
pointer to a long int. That means it points to a 32 bit value which is
four bytes. When it is incremented, its value will increase by four.
Thus you'll only see every fourth byte printed. (Note also that on some
platforms int or long int pointers are required to be aligned; that is
they must contain an address that is a multiple of their size. You don't
know whether that's true of the address of puts().)
If you fix this problem by making n a pointer to an unsigned char,
you'll get every byte printed (one per line) but your loop may not stop
until some sort of exception, or it may stop too soon. There are several
forms of the "RET" instruction and puts() may end with something other
than 0x4D. It's also possible that puts() contains more than one return
statement and thus more than one "RET" instruction and you may never get
past the first one.
What you're trying to do here is called a "disassembler". If you really
need to do this, you should buy a good one.
To reply, change domain to an adult feline.

Quad executives get new roles
Quad/Graphics Inc., which expanded aggressively since 2010 to become the second-largest commercial printer in North America, on Tuesday announced a raft of management changes meant to shape the team that will help integrate the expanded printing company into a "multi-channel" digital future.
Most of the promotions involve employees who have been with Quad for much of the Sussex-based company's 43-year history.
"Quad/Graphics has become a significantly larger and more complex company," said president and chief executive Joel Quadracci.
The key appointment announced Tuesday involved John C. Fowler, 63, who has been the company's chief financial officer since he joined Quad when it was a small but growing family-run printing company in 1980.
As vice chairman and executive vice president, Fowler will focus on long-term planning, business development, special projects and investment opportunities, Quadracci said.
Fowler played a central role when Quad acquired Canadian rival World Color Press in 2010, a transaction that led to restructurings and additional acquisitions. With the World Color deal, Quad transformed from a family-run business into a public company on the New York Stock Exchange.
Quad is the biggest printer of magazines in North America, as well as the largest printer of catalogs and retail inserts. In terms of total printing orders, from books to publications, Quad is second only to Chicago-based R.R. Donnelley & Sons Co., the biggest printer in North America.
Quad's annual sales have risen from $1.7 billion as a family-run company prior to World Color to nearly $5 billion currently. Total international employment rose from 8,500 to 25,000, with 6,000 currently in Wisconsin.
At the same time, Quad began to reinvent itself as a "multi-channel" company that integrates traditional printing with other digital platforms.
"John has been instrumental in Quad/Graphics' growth from our earliest years, helping transform Quad/Graphics from a small, privately held startup into a global, publicly traded industry leader," Quadracci said.
Discussions of Fowler's new position began seven years ago, long before the company began its acquisition and diversification, Quadracci said. "The announcement today is not the beginning of a transition, but the end of a long transition," Quadracci said.
In other changes, David J. Honan, who joined the company in 2009, was named chief financial officer.
Thomas J. Frankowski, a 35-year company veteran, has been promoted to chief operating officer, responsible for leading all the company's traditional print operations in the U.S.: magazine, catalog, retail insert, book and directory businesses. Although he will oversee print operations, Frankowski was instrumental in developing digital strategies, Quadracci said.
Steven D. Jaeger, who joined Quad 20 years ago, becomes an executive vice president over operations that include multi-channel strategies.
Quad is the state's largest printing company. Printing is the fifth-largest single industrial sector in the state.
"These executive leadership promotions reflect Quad/Graphics' ability to groom versatile talent capable of successfully propelling our company forward in an ever-changing industry," Quadracci said.

A man was arrested and hundreds of game fowl are being euthanized after a large cockfighting ring was discovered in Miami, authorities said.
Sandor Nieves, 38, was arrested Thursday on charges of owning or possessing an animal used for fighting and possession of marijuana with intent to sell, according to a Miami-Dade Police arrest report.
Nieves' bond was set at $10,000 but he was being held on a warrant case Friday, jail records showed. It was unknown if he's hired an attorney.
According to the arrest report, officers executed a search warrant at a home at 6700 Southwest 120th Avenue, where they found Nieves. They also found a number of game fowl and a wire-enclosed cockfighting ring that had a dead rooster hanging from the cage. Baiting paraphernalia including plastic spurs and fighting muffs were also found, along with 462 grams of marijuana in a refrigerator, the report said.
Officials with Miami-Dade Animal Services said more than 240 game fowl had been euthanized and another 250-300 remained on the property. The game fowl require individual housing to prevent them from fighting to the death so the most humane thing to do is euthanize them on site, officials said.
Horses, dogs, cats and a turkey were also found but will not be euthanized, officials said. Animal Services officials said in a statement that it "is troubling and very sad that these innocent animals have had to endure horrific abuse."
Officers searched Nieves' vehicle and found $8,700 in cash and gambling ledgers, the police report said. He acknowledged ownership of the birds and control of the area of the property where he was found, the report said.

The Financial Crisis has had a massive effect on the mindset of the UK consumers. It has left them with a deep sense of peril whenever they buy something on credit. However, what most people do not ask themselves is if that sense of peril is not too small. In this article, we will look at the question whether the British credit culture isn't keeping many UK households in a debt trap.
What is a credit culture?
A credit culture can be defined as the way people act and behave in financial matters. In other words, whether they like to shop with their debit or credit cards; whether they prefer buying things with money they don't have; whether they take too many risks in financial matters. The credit culture should be considered, as we will see in a bit, as one of the main causes for the debt problems of the UK households.
Why is the UK credit culture a factor?
As we just said, people in the UK behave according to their credit culture in financial matters. Most of the UK citizens have bought their houses, cars, household repairs and modifications, and many more things on credit. It is in their nature to shop with money they do not have, which leads to them going into serious financial difficulties.
The aforementioned becomes a problem when the seemingly stable job market becomes volatile. All of the borrowers then risk losing their jobs or getting their salary cut, which immediately makes them unable to pay for their past purchases.
The overspending that occurs in the UK is a result of how people have been thought to act when it comes to purchasing. They have been taught that buying on credit is absolutely risk free, which as we have seen in the past several years is absolutely wrong. Jobs are not as stable as before to sustain a massive financial deficit.
All in all, the credit culture should change if the British households wish to get out of the financial trap they have fallen into. Buying on credit is something that is no longer as risk free as it used to be!
If you need to borrow credit, you may sometimes come into difficulty when you are trying to obtain your finance if you have a 'bad credit score'. This is basically when lenders use your past experiences of borrowing as gauge of how reliable you are at paying back the money you owe. Whilst many you'll find it will be almost impossible for you to get a high street loan if you are in this scenario, you will find that specially designed loans for bad credit could be the solution to your borrowing problems.

International Symposium Kan Yu (Feng Shui) and Architecture - a Great Success
The 5th international gathering was held at Humboldt University (HU) Berlin from 09-11 November 2010, hosted by Seminar of Sinology and supported by the Gerda Henkel Stiftung. 15 specialists from 9 countries came together to discuss the influence of Kanyu Feng Shui on the modern built environment.
In his opening speech, Prof. Dr. Florian C Reiter of HU Berlin considered the probability of using Kanyu (a more traditional term for Fengshui) in some of the new developments in Berlin and came to the conclusion that if Fengshui were involved, then there would be less eye-sores, such as the Sony Centre.
Prof. Ole Bruun from Denmark remarked in his paper that the popularization of Fengshui was partly due to the search for a new spirituality to replace the old one in the West. With the globalization of Fengshui, it will become once again a living tradition and what it will become depends on how we will present and make use of Fengshui in the future. He also mentioned the "Pizza" effect, where the inter-change of information between the Chinese and their western counterparts will eventually modify the more traditional aspects of Feng Shui.
"But we must study Kaqnyu Fengshui more seriously and get rid of the less useful and retain the more constructive components for modern applications," said Prof. Wang Yude from Cntral China Normal University, whose historical research institute is famous for their research into the Mysterious Cultures of China. "Better Fengshui education is definitely needed," echoed the same sentiment from Dr. Michael Paton from Australia's Sydney University.
"The trend in China now is to study Feng Shui from an architectural and cultural point of view, less emphasis is placing on the esoteric side of Feng Shui and more on the practical side of how it can improve China's environment and showcase Chinese culture," said Prof. Wei Dong from USA, who hopes the next international conference will be held in Taizhou China (3 hours from Shanghai), the home town of Hu Jin-Tao, the Premier of China, and the site of the first Fengshui cultural museum in China.
At the end of the 3 days, most experts do come to the conclusion that with careful study and research Kanyu Fengshui can make a positive contribution to the modern built environment and our relationship to Nature, in terms of conservation, ecology and sustainability. "Kanyu Fengshui can be a very useful and powerful tool, instead of seeing it as a 2,000 years old fad from China," said the expert scholars.

This is a continuation-in-part application of international application PCT/EP99/02713 filed Apr. 22, 1999 and claiming the priority of German application 198 18 785.8 filed Apr. 27, 1998.
The invention relates to a magnetic resonance tomograph without access to the measurement area during a measurement, comprising a continuous channel for inserting from one side a stretcher for use by female patients during magnetic resonance mammography.
In the conventional closed magnetic resonance tomographs (MRT), the MRT mammography with the resulting additional treatment steps such as biopsy and, if necessary, subsequent therapy is performed in a multitude of steps during which the patient needs to be moved several times into, and out of, the channel of the apparatus. Any surgery on the patient can be performed with such a closed magnetic resonance tomograph only outside the apparatus. The procedure is therefore time consuming and results in high physical and psychological stresses of the patient and involves the risk that the position of the patient's breasts changes during the long period of the procedure. The long time required for the procedure also results in high costs for the therapy.
EP-A-0 534 607 discloses a magnetic resonance tomograph with two annular magnets within which the patient rests and between which a mechanical device for the heat treatment of tumors of the patient by laser energy is arranged at one side of the patient. A preceding biopsy is not provided with the MRT according to this publication. It would have to be performed outside the apparatus in some other way. There is no suggestion offered in EPA-0534607 how this situation could be improved.
U.S. Pat. No. 5 443 068 discloses a system for a non-invasive treatment of tumors by local magnetic resonance tomography-supported ultrasonic heating. The system includes a magnetic resonance tomograph (MRT) with a continuous channel into which a stretcher can be introduced from one end thereof. The stretcher includes a manipulator with an ultrasound transducer arranged directly below the support surface of the stretcher. The manipulator has a tub-like support arm, that is, a semi-circular support arm supporting the ultrasonic transducer such that it is movable in all three spatial directions. At the same time, the ultrasonic transducer remains so oriented that it always radiates upwardly. The tub-like support arm also includes a coupling medium, which is necessary for the transmission of the ultrasound waves. For the transmission of the ultrasound waves to a patients body a membrane is disposed on the coupling medium on which membrane the patient is disposed and which conforms to the body of the patient. Lateral movement of the ultrasound transducer in the coupling medium is achieved for each of the spatial axes separately by individual cardanic drive shafts by electric motors, which are arranged outside the MR magnetic field so that they have no influence on the field.
It is the object of the present invention to improve a magnetic resonance tomograph of the type as initially described in such a way that the various diagnosis and treatment steps of the MR mammography can be performed in the apparatus while the patients position remains essentially unchanged and to perform such procedures within a short period of time. The positions of the patient relative to the support and the MR apparatus should remain the same as set up before the start of the procedure for the whole duration of the procedure.
In a magnetic resonance tomograph comprising a continuous channel for inserting from one end a stretcher with a female patient lying thereon in a prone position during magnetic resonance mammography, the tomograph comprises a manipulator by which instruments for the diagnosis and surgical treatment of such patients breasts can be introduced into the channel from the other end and positioned in relation to the breasts which are disposed in the isocenter of the magnetic resonance tomograph. The manipulator comprises a support arm, which has a recess for receiving the various instruments which can be installed and exchanged from the other, that is, the proximal end. The support arm with the recess can be pivoted horizontally and vertically about a fixed point located outside the recess and beyond the tip at the distal end of the manipulator adjacent to a breast of the patient.
The invention will be described in detail below on the basis of the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a side view of a manipulator for use in a closed magnetic resonance tomograph (MRT) with a continuous channel.
FIG. 2 is a top view of the manipulator,
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the MRT taken along the line A—A with the manipulator disposed in a center position, that is, in its basic position,
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view similar to that of FIG. 3 with the manipulator moved and pivoted to one side,
FIG. 5 shows the introduction motion of a diagnostic-therapeutic instrument into the MRT housing,
FIG. 6 shows the coupling procedure of a trocar receiver and of an instrument adapter to a drive within the housing, and
FIG. 7 shows the insertion of the diagnostic-therapeutic instrument into a fixed breast of a patient.
The manipulator shown in the figures is provided for use in a closed magnetic resonance tomograph (MRT) which includes a continuous channel 1, which is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, and into which a stretcher (not shown) for supporting a female patient can be introduced for MR mammography and possibly further treatment. The patient is disposed on her stomach.
The different locations of various patient's breasts—resulting from anatomic differences—are all within the area of the windows 20 which are indicated in FIG. 4 and which define the operating area for the manipulator in a vertical plane (x/y range). The breast to be treated is fixed in longitudinal direction in that area by two compression plates so as to be positioned in the iso-center of the MRT. The manipulator is introduced into the MRT from the other end that is from the end of the channel opposite the stretcher until its front end 21 is disposed in the area of the iso-center. In, or at, the front end 21, those instruments are supported which are needed for treatment of the patient. However they are not shown in the figures.
The manipulator must of course consist of materials suitable for use with a MRT. It basically comprises a bow-shaped frame 2, which has at its sides support skids 5 on which it can be moved on tracks 3 into the channel 1 in a longitudinal direction. In the predetermined position, the manipulator can be fixed in the channel 1 by means of a clamping device 4. The pivot arms 12, which will be described later, are in the center position as shown in FIG. 3. In the upper part of the frame 2, there is a conventional bridge 7 on which a horizontally movable carriage 6 is supported and guided by a guide structure so that it is movable in the x-direction. The drive for moving the carriage 6 in the x-direction includes a cable 8 wound onto a cable drum mounted on the carriage 6 and extending around opposite guide pulleys 9 disposed at opposite ends of the bridge 7. The cable drum is driven by a drive shaft 11 by way of a transmission 10.
At the bottom part of the carriage 6, a shaft 17 is rotatably supported and two pivot arms 12 are mounted on the opposite ends of the shaft 17 so as to be rotatable therewith. The pivot arms 12 are pivotable with the shaft 17 about the axis 13 thereof, the pivot movement being indicated as a movement in the direction y. The pivot movement is performed at a respective position of the carriage 6, which is determined by its position in the x-direction. In a particular embodiment of the y-drive as shown in the figures, the upper end of the proximal pivot arm 12 seen in FIG. 3 is provided at its top end above the shaft 17 with a gear segment 18, which is engaged by the worm gear 19 of a transmission 22 that is disposed at the side of the carriage 6 above the pivot arm 12. In this way, the two pivot arms can be pivoted in the y-direction about the axis 13. The transmission 22 includes a drive stub 23 to which a computer-controlled motor is connected, which is not shown. A computer-controlled motor is also connected to the drive shaft 11 for moving the carriage 6 in the x-direction. The movement of the pivot arm 12 in the y-direction occurs by way of the transmission 22.
With the superimposed movements in the x and the y directions, any desired position of the manipulator or, respectively, its tip 21 within the area of the windows 20 can be obtained.
At the end of the shaft 17 opposite the pivot arm with the gear segment 18, there is disposed adjacent the pivot arm 12, a cable pulley 16 which is fixed with respect to the carriage 6 and in which the shaft 17 is rotatable. The cable pulley 16 therefore remains in its position with respect to the carriage 6 when the pivot arms 12 are pivoted. At the ends of the pivot arms 12, remote from the shaft 17, a support tube 14 is rotatably supported by the pivot arms 12. At one end of the support tube 14 outside the pivot arm 12 the support tube carries anther cable pulley 15 in radial alignment with the cable pulley 16 such that the support tube 14 can be rotated by way of a cable 24 extending around the cable pulleys 15 and 16. Preferably, the ends of the cable 24 are clamped to the cable pulleys so that the cable is wound onto one while it is unwound from the other of the pulleys 15 and 16 during pivot movement of the arms 12. Since the cable pulley 16 is fixed in its angular position relative to the carriage 6 by the pin 25, the support tube 14 maintains its angular orientation in the space during pivoting of the arm 12 in the y-direction, that is, it is guided in a horizontal parallel fashion. An orientation of the support tube for an adaptation to a right or left slant of the patient support, which is not shown, is achieved by removal of the pin 25 from a pulley bore 27 and inserting it into another bore 27.
Within the support tube 14, there is a support arm 26, which is an essential element of the manipulator. The support arm 26 is rigidly disposed in, and extends through, the support tube 14 and is movable together therewith. The distal ends form the front end 21 of the manipulator. The end portion projecting from the support tube 14 is hollow so as to form an inner space 28 which extends from the front end 21 backwardly and widens arrow-like. The widening hollow inner space 28 forms the front part of a channel 30, which extends through the support tube 14 up to the proximal end 31 of the support arm 26. At the proximal end 31, the channel 30 consists only of the two side members 29. The channel 30 of the support arm 26 consequently extends from the proximal end 31 all the way to the distal front end 21 of the manipulator. It receives all the instruments necessary for the treatment of a patient which instruments are inserted at the proximal end 31 and extend through the channel 30 to the distal front end 21.
Another important element of the manipulator is the housing 32, which is disposed in the inner space 28 so as to be pivotable horizontally and vertically about the spherical support calotte 33 and which exchangeably receives the instruments needed for treatment. In the particular use of the MRT for mammography, the instruments are a biopsy device with a trocar for taking a sample and an applicator of a laser apparatus for possible subsequent laser surgery. Adapters are provided for accommodating the respective devices and apparatus in the housing 32. The functions of the housing in cooperation with the instruments will be described in detail later on the basis of FIGS. 5 to 7. The housing 32 is so supported by the cable 33, that it pivots about a fixed point 35, which is outside the front end 21 of the manipulator. The point 35 is in the area where the tissue of the patient is penetrated so that the penetration point remains the same no matter in which way the angular position of the respective instrument is changed. Generally, an instrument is inserted through a trocar wherein then the trocar is subject to the movement constraints. The horizontal pivotability of the housing 32 is made possible by the arrow shape of the inner space 28 in which the housing 32 is disposed. Within the inner space 28, the housing 32 is pulled by elastic straps 34 toward the calotte 33, that is, its pivotal support area and is held in place by sidewardly pivotable support legs 36 which are rotatable about the axis 39. At a location remote from the pivotal support point of the housing 32, that is, as shown in FIG. 1 in the area between the point of engagement by the support legs 36 and the point of attachment of the elastic straps 34 cables 37 are attached to the housing 32, which cables extend, by way of several guide pulleys, to the pivot drive 38 at the proximal end 31 of the support tube 14 from where they can be operated to pivot the housing 32.
For a vertical pivot movement, pins 43 extending from the proximal end of the housing 32 slide in elongated slots 40 formed in the support legs 36. The legs are rotatably mounted on the inner side of the support arms 26 by pivot discs 41 so as to be pivotable about the axis 39 together with the pivot discs 41., Operating cables 42 extend from the pivot discs 41 to the drive 143 by way of several guide pulleys to provide for pivoting of the housing 32 in a vertical plane from the proximal end of the support tube 14 or the support arms 26 extending through the support tube 14. The pivotability of the housing 32 about the insertion point 35 permits a cross-section biopsy in any desired plane and also a subsequent laser therapy, depending on the instrument used.
As already mentioned, the housing 32 is an important element of the manipulator; it is the central unit from which the diagnostic-therapeutic procedures are functionally instigated. It is essential that the housing is supported by way of the spherical calotte 33 so that it pivots spatially about the fixed point 35. Within the housing 32, a drive carriage 48 is supported for linear movement in the z-direction that is in the longitudinal direction of the MRT channel 1. It serves for moving the instruments through the fixed point 35 into the tissue 51 to be treated. The axial movement of the drive carriage 48 can be controlled from the proximal end 31 of the arm 26 by elements, which are not shown in detail. At the distal end of the housing 32, a sterilization sleeve 49 is installed as a protective structure, which prevents contamination of the parts of the instrument entering the tissue 51.
In the housing 32, there is disposed a movable trocar receiver 44 in whose upper part the trocar 50 is disposed in alignment with the sterilization sleeve 49. This trocar receiver 44 is supported so as to be slideable into the housing 32, where it can be coupled to the drive carriage 48. In FIG. 5, the trocar receiver 44 is shown before being inserted in, that is, it is shown removed from the housing 32. In FIGS. 6 and 7, the trocar receiver is shown in different positions in the housing 32. At the proximal end of the trocar receiver 44, a hollow instrument adapter 45 is disposed between the support arms 26, which instrument adapter receives a respective instrument 46 as needed for a particular procedure. When coupled to the drive carriage 48, the trocar receiver 44 forms the connecting element between the drive carriage 48 and the instrument adapter 45 which, as a result, is also movable in the housing 32 by the carriage 48 from the proximal end 31. By the coupling of the three components drive carriage 48, instrument adapter 45 and trocar 50, the instruments 46 in the instrument adapter 45 can be moved in the z-direction. The trocar 50 acts as a guide canal and forms a shield for the protection of the healthy tissue from contamination by potential cancer cells during a change of the instruments.
As already mentioned, the instrument adapter 45 serves for the adaptation and the handling of different instruments. At its end adjacent the trocar receiver 44, it includes a coupling mechanism which permits its coupling to, or uncoupling from, the trocar receiver 44 and which therefore allows a change of instruments while the trocar 50 remains in place. The instruments 46 comprise various diagnostic and therapeutic instruments, for example, a biopsy apparatus as a diagnostic instrument and an adapted laser head as a therapeutic instrument. At the proximal end of the instrument adapter 45, there is provided a handling device 47, which is also movable between the support arms 26 in the z-direction and by which the instruments can be moved into, and out of, the housing 32.
Operation of the manipulator in connection with a MR apparatus.
Mammography is performed as follows:
The breast of a patient who rests in the channel 1 on her stomach is positioned in the isocenter of the MRT in the area of the windows 20. The manipulator is introduced into the channel 1 toward the patient such that its front end 21 is disposed adjacent the isocenter. It is fixed in place by the clamping device 4. The planigraphs are taken in the conventional manner. The target coordinates of any possible cancer location found are recorded. If a biopsy is to be performed to examine a possible cancer formation, the drive shafts 11, 23 and the drives 38 and 43 are connected to a drive unit (not shown) which is controlled by a control unit on the basis of the target coordinates. The target coordinates are converted to manipulator coordinates corresponding to the windows 20 and the manipulator position is adjusted corresponding to the coordinates in the x/y plane by movement of the carriage 6 and rotation about the axis 13. The positioning in the z-axis, that is in depth, is performed by a predetermined insertion depth movement of the trocar out of the housing 32. Then the biopsy apparatus is placed at the proximal end 31 between the side members 29 of the support arm 26 and is moved with the handling device 47 shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 into the housing 32. After taking the biopsy, the biopsy apparatus is again retracted. For possible further treatment, the biopsy apparatus is then replaced by a laser applicator. The laser applicator is inserted into the housing 32 in the same manner as the biopsy apparatus while the housing 32 remains positioned in accordance with the target coordinates. In this fixed position, laser energy is then applied depending on the size of a tumor detected.
Operation of some of the elements within and at the housing 32:
First, the sterilization sleeve 49 is inserted into the housing 32 with a grasping device, which is not shown. Then the trocar 50 is inserted into the trocar receiver 44 and an instrument is positioned in the instrument adapter 45, while the manipulator is outside the MRT channel 1. The trocar receiver 44 and the instrument adapter are then coupled and moved into guides between the side members 29 of the manipulator at the proximal end 31 thereof. Subsequently, the handling device 47 is moved into the open end of the instrument adapter 45 and is locked therein. In the next step, the components connected to the handling device 47 are advanced into the housing 32. During the last part of this advancement, the trocar receiver 44 moves over the drive carriage 48. In a predetermined position, the trocar receiver 44 and the drive carriage 48 are locked together. The locking is achieved by the engagement of a locking member 52, which is provided on the trocar receiver 44 and which extends into a recess 53 in the drive carriage 48. After this step, the handling device 47 is unlocked from the instrument adapter 45 and is pulled out of the manipulator at the end 31 thereof. The manipulator can now move toward the x/y location of the area 54 to be treated in the manner described earlier. When that location is reached the instrument 46 is inserted into the tissue 51 by advancement of the drive carriage 48.
Any change of instruments 46 occurs while the trocar 50 remains in place. For such an instrument exchange the instrument adapter 45 is uncoupled from the trocar receiver 44 and retracted by a certain distance. This is done by way of a cable, preferably a Bowden wire, from without the MRT. Now the instrument adapter 45 can be pulled out of the manipulator by the handling device 47 and can then be reinserted after installation of another instrument. At the end of the treatment, the instrument adapter 45 is not uncoupled from the trocar receiver 44, but rather the lock between the trocar receiver 44 and the drive carriage 48 is released. With the retraction of the handling device 47, all the components initially installed in the manipulator are then removed together.

Washout in Johannesburg
England's opening match of the one-day international series against South Africa was abandoned due to persistent rain at the Wanderers today.
The game was officially declared a washout by umpires Marais Erasmus and Rod Tucker at 3pm GMT.
Such has been the level of rainfall in Johannesburg - 40mm in the last three days - that the umpires did not wait around until 6.25pm GMT, the cut-off point for a reduced 20-over match.
The unfortunate no result means that Paul Collingwood and James Tredwell will not achieve their respective career landmarks until at least Sunday, when the teams reconvene for the second match in Centurion.
Collingwood is in line to become an unlikely record-breaker as England's most-capped ODI player - needing one more appearance to surpass Alec Stewart's 170.
Tredwell, flown out two days ago as cover for injured spinner Graeme Swann, will now hope to make his senior international debut at SuperSport Park.
There are three further matches in the series at Cape Town, Port Elizabeth and Durban.

TORONTO - Brad Pitt knows the parallels are obvious: baseball and the movie biz - two industries where the complex algorithms of stats and star power, home runs and box-office hits, are endlessly worked on and worried over. Old ways of doing business, based on gut instinct and high-priced players, give way to leaner, meaner, formula-driven concepts - on the playing field, and on the screen.
"Especially in today's economically challenged times, you see the tendency of the studios to try to mitigate losses and therefore manage it in a way that's based on numbers," Pitt says. "And the numbers are oddly correct, but at the same time that way of doing business limits the material. It's all based on what's been done before, instead of something new - which I'm much more interested in."

Maybe this time I'll actually do it.
Tomorrow I fly to Paris via Dallas, then TGV to Avignon and rental car to Uzès, where I'll meet Pauline and Steve at the village house we've rented for a week. Frank and I had lunch on a very rainy day in Uzès several years ago on our way from the Dordogne to Provence, the only time I've been there. I'm planning to love it!
At the end of the week I'll drive to Lourmarin for a few days in a B&B, then to Bonnieux for 5 nights in Kathy and Charley's new apartment.
TGV from Avignon back to Paris for one night at Hotel Muguet, then fly home via Dallas.
This year I couldn't find flights in and out of Marseille with reasonable layovers (not too short, not too long, get me back to Sacramento the same day) and price, so I opted to fly in and out of Paris. I probably should have allowed a few more days in Paris, but even one afternoon and evening will be a pleasure.

Another one of those – "Know Your Customer" bad moves, Nor surprisingly in Milwaukee, which has serious racial issues.
NBA Player Alleges Racial Profiling At Jewelry Store
Milwaukee Bucks' John Henson is calling out a high-end jewelry store for alleged racial profiling after he was refused service and then confronted by police in the parking lot.
In an Instagram post shortly after the alleged Monday afternoon incident, the 24-year-old power forward called the ordeal "one of the … most degrading and racially prejudice [sic] things I've ever experienced in life" and noted that he "wouldn't wish this on anyone."
Henson wrote that when he tried to enter Schwanke-Kasten Jewelers in the Milwaukee suburb of Whitefish Bay, employees locked the door on him and told him to go away. Henson noted he was trying to make a purchase during regular business hours.
A few moments later, Henson said a pair of police cars pulled up and watched him from a distance for about five minutes. He said he suspected the store had called the cops on him.Went to @schwankekasten jewelry today in White-Fish Bay during regular business hours . They locked the door and told me to go away . After I rang the doorbell twice everyone went to the back. No answered the door or told me what was going on. This was followed by two police cars pulling up and parking across the street and watching me for 5 minutes ( I assumed they were called by the store ) . I was then approached by 2 officers and questioned about the dealer vehicle I was in which is apart of my endorsement deal with Kunes country Chevrolet and asked me what I wanted amongst other things that were just irrelevant to me being there just trying to shop at the store like a normal paying customer would do . I told them I was just trying to look at a watch. He then had to go in the back and tell them to come out it was safe but this is after they ran my plates and I overheard them talking about doing more of a background check on the car. The employees finally came out of the back and proceeded to conduct business like they previously were as we walked up . This was one of the the most degrading and racially prejudice things I've ever experienced in life and wouldn't wish this on anyone . This store needs to be called out and that's what I'm doing . You have no right to profile someone because of their race and nationality and this incident needs to be brought to light and I urge anyone who ever is thinking of shopping here reads this and doesn't bring any business to this discriminatory place .
Henson said two officers then questioned him about his car, which he said he drives as part of an endorsement deal with a local Chevrolet and Cadillac dealership.
Schwanke-Kasten Jewelers did not immediately respond to phone calls or emails requesting comment. Several hours after Henson posted about the incident, the jewelry store deleted its Facebook profile, and locked down both its Twitter and Instagram accounts.
Whitefish Bay Police Chief Michael Young did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the incident.
Earlier this month the Bucks signed Henson to a four-year, $44 million extension that could increase to $48 million with incentives.

The Test Kitchen Staff's Favorite Recipes from Our February Issue
If there's one thing everyone at Bon Appetit can agree on, it's that Southern food (both the old-fashioned and the newfangled varieties) is flat-out delicious. And that goes not just for native southerners like North Carolina-raised test kitchen head Hunter Lewis, but for the born and bred Yankees as well. What the test kitchen staff couldn't agree on? Exactly which of the recipes in our Southern-accented February issue was the most flat-out delicious of them all. Here are their picks; we think it's safe to say you can't go wrong.
"Call me vain, but I love the Skillet-Fried Chicken recipe. I've fried bastardized versions of the real thing for about ten years now and always got the juicy meat or the crisp skin, but never both. My frustration has ended. This recipe = fried chicken nirvana." –Hunter Lewis, Food Editor
"Hands-down the Wilted Greens Salad with Squash, Apples and Country Ham. Best technique ever for softened hearty greens. I've been doing it with all kinds of greens–kale, turnip greens–and adapting the recipe to work with almost any kind of dressing. As is, it's beautiful: crisp country ham, thick buttermilk, black pepper." —Chris Morocco, Kitchen Assistant
"Chicken and Dumplings. Relatively quick and easy, this recipe is savory, comforting, and refined." —Mary-Frances Heck, Associate Food Editor
"This was NOT easy! But I'm going with the Banana Cream Pie with Salty Bourbon Caramel. The chewy, crispy, peanutty crust is a revelation, and it doesn't hurt that bourbon is involved." —Janet McCracken, Deputy Food Editor

I've always liked Sennheiser for that. They make super good over-ear headphones for between 60 and 100 bucks that will spank the pants off of Bose and a lot of the big name brands. My personal favorites are the Shure earbuds. They're pretty expensive (mine were 400) but they sound incredible. That being said, I use mine as in-ear monitors for when I'm playing, so they're kind of a waste to just plus into an iPod.

Drew Brees, Cortland Finnegan and Matt Flynn are names that will make a big splash in the 2012 NFL free-agent market.
But Brees was once a risky signing in 2006 after no other team wanted him.
This year, players like London Fletcher are not garnering the attention of the likes of Brees, Finnegan and Flynn, but they have the potential to be bargain acquisitions for teams that take a chance on them.

2002 Ford Ranger XL 2dr Regular Cab (2.3L 4cyl 5A)
Purchased new in 2002, for about $12k. Currently has 130k miles on it. Outside of tires, brakes, a clutch ( taught a teenage girl how to drive a stick ) plugs and a heater control valve, this has been a great vehicle. The best vehicle we have ever owned. I used it to commute, then my wife used it to commute, then we gave it to our teenage daughter. My daughter has hit or been hit more than once and it keeps trucking. Drove home this past weekend with coolant steaming all over. Dad somethings wrong with my truck. A new 17 dollar HCV and out she went. Admittedly she beats the crap out of it, but it has made thru highschool and 1/2 thru college. A really great truck.
I bought this truck new and barely had any problems during the 13 years i owned it.I performed regular maintinence as suggested and drove this truck to 200,000 miles until someone rearended me.During those 200k, i replaced the MASS AIRFLOW SENSORE at 120k, the coil pack at 178k, fan clutch at 180k and manual transmission broke at 185k (i should have never tried to drive from NJ to New Orleans...too far for and older truck with so many miles) and the plastic intake manifold at 190k.So besided breaks and tires, i drove it for 13 years and only had 4 repairs. not bad... All options worked as they should from new until it was totaled. I WOULD BUY ANOTHER!
Great on gas, ICE COLD air cond.
I hated the location of the cup holders, but that was corrected in new models.
Parents got the truck thanks to house remodeling and continued house work. Ours was an automatic. Its fit and finish is seriously rough! I understand that it is bare-bones, but does the gear indicator have to be so...off? The engine is too weak and shakes the car like a manual on 3rd gear during take-off, but decent MPGs for a truck though, around mid-20s. Brakes are sensitive and effective. Feels like I am about to fall off the seat when turning. Middle "seat" is completely useless, and I don't know if the feds count it as one. Lost a lot of things thanks to a shallow pit of a door rail/handle.
This truck looks good. Decent MPGs for a 2002 truck. Good for rough roads, possibly offroad, although never seen them used offroad. Good for light duty construction.
The engines are seriously weak. Since Ranger drivers are for home-owners and light construction crews, they usually stick to gravel, dirt (and asphalt). A unibody should be fine. (Now that the Escape has changed, the Ranger might as well change too. Can't sustain a chassis by itself)
Use a deeper well door well/rail/handle.
Fit and finish seriously needs improvement.
This was my first truck. I loved to drive it and it handles well. I would buy another ford ranger again and again. I was driving and hit a patch of sand on a corner and the back end slipped out from under me and I was doing about 60mph side ways when I slammed into a steal pole. It hit just a little bit infront of the drivers door. The complete dash was broken in 2 and all the windows were shattered. This was a very very very serious crash and I was able to get out and walk away with no major injuries. I was wearing my seat belt and the air bags did not deploy. I only suffered minor cuts to the face from my head breaking the drivers window. I thank this truck from being able to save my life.
MPG's, Fun to drive, and many many more
Side airbags standard
i am a big ford fan, but i wanted fuel economy and some power and reliability! This truck has towed and pushed 2 trucks already, with no problem, good power for a 4 cylinder. Just wish it was 4x4 with a 4.0 and a 5 speed
pretty good fuel mileage, plenty of power for me, and love the features!
cant think of any, that i would need.
