The present invention relates generally to biomedical sensors, and more particularly, the present invention relates to a remotely interrogated biomedical sensor.
Sensing devices for use in the medical arts are well-known. For example, sensors are frequently used to observe the function of a subject's heart by detecting the sound and electrical impulses it emits. Anyone who has undergone a heart stress test has been fitted with several sensors to observe heart function, respiration, body temperature, and the like during the course of the test. Ten sensors or more are frequently used in such a test. Each sensor is coupled by a hard-wired connection extending from the sensor to a monitoring unit, i.e., at least one wire physically connecting each sensor and the monitoring unit, and each sensor provides a substantially continuous analog signal to the monitoring unit. Within the monitoring unit, the signals from each of the sensors are amplified and conditioned to provide corresponding data signals, which may then be recorded and/or observed during the test.
To securely attach the sensors to the subject each is first bonded or coupled to a suction cup or similar attaching pad. The suction cup provides the attaching force for securing the sensor to the subject in conjunction with an adhesive or tackifying agent. Sensor attachment often also requires the removal of any of the subject's body hair in the locality of the sensor.
Unfortunately, this arrangement for attaching sensors and recording the data from the sensors causes discomfort to the subject and may further lead to data errors. The sensor attachment must be sufficient to not only support the weight of the sensor, but to also support forces introduced by the hard-wired connection. In addition to the added weight of the wire itself, there are dynamic, "tugging," forces resulting from the wires extending from the subject to the monitoring unit. The attachment is therefore made larger and more aggressive to securely attach the sensor to the subject sufficiently to sustain these additional forces. This causes discomfort to the subject in both attaching the sensors, i.e., if additional shaving or skin preparation is required, and removing the sensors.
Stringing numerous wires from the subject to the monitoring unit presents its own set of problems. The wires themselves restrict the subject's movements. During a stress test the subject is required to walk or jog on a treadmill and needs to move freely. Other subjects, such as a recovering cardiac patient, may be reclined in bed and the wires may inhibit their ability to freely and comfortably sleep restricted. The wires further lead to data errors as they are frequently the cause of the sensors becoming detached due to the added weight and tugging forces. Furthermore, data can not be collected and reported unless the subject is coupled to a monitoring unit and therefore within its close proximity.
Use of suction cups and similar attaching structures also increase the required maintenance of the sensors and the monitoring system. After each use, the suction cups must be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before the next use. The wiring connections require periodic inspection and repair, and they may add to the setup time to ensure none of the wires interferes with the subject's movements.
Thus a need exists for a sensor that eliminates the need for aggressive attachment and which is capable of reliably reporting data therefrom.

In accordance with the preferred embodiments of the present invention, a remotely interrogated biomedical sensor is provided as a self-contained unit. The sensor includes an on-board regenerative power source, data processing and storage capability and data transmission capability. The sensor is adapted to be secured to a subject and interrogated remotely using radio-frequency technology. The present invention is thus described in terms of several preferred embodiments relating to biomedical sensors; however, its teachings are not so limited. One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the present invention has application generally where it is otherwise undesirable to provide a hard-wire connection to the sensor. Furthermore, the present invention is applicable for use with any sensor that is capable of providing a signal response to being placed in thermal, electrical, chemical, acoustical or otherwise in contact with a subject.
Referring to FIG. 1, a biomedical sensor 10 includes a subject interface 12 and a sensor portion 14. Subject interface 12 is arranged to be detachably secured to a subject, and sensor portion 14 is arranged to detachably and operably secure to subject interface 12. In a preferred embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, subject interface 12 is designed to be disposable and is formed from a thin sheet 18, such as Mylar, having a first side 20 and a second side (opposite first side 20, not depicted). Adhesive 22 is disposed in a preferred pattern on each side of sheet 18 substantially corresponding to a footprint of sensor portion 14, yet leaving a border area 24 free of adhesive. Any suitable adhesive may be used and such adhesives are well-known. Border area 24 permits, once subject interface 12 is attached to a subject, the easy removal thereof from the patient and further permits the easy removal of sensor portion 14 therefrom. The adhesive pattern also provides assistance to the user in aligning and positioning sensor portion 14 thereto. Preferably a number of subject interfaces are provided on a sheet or roll secured to a release free backing that permits individual ones to be removed and used as described.
In certain applications it is necessary to measure the change in resistance of a subject's skin or otherwise to place sensor portion 14 in electrical contact with the subject's skin. Subject interface 26 illustrated in FIG. 2 is preferred in these applications. Subject interface 26 is also designed to be disposable and is preferably formed from a thin sheet 28 of material, such as Mylar, forming a substrate. At least one conductive pad 30, and more likely two or three such pads, such as second conductive pad 32, are formed on each of a first side 34 and a second side (not depicted). More particularly, thin sheet 28 is formed with a foraminous region 36 and conductive pad 30 is in substantial register with foraminous region 36. Conductive pad 30 is preferably formed using an isotropic conductive adhesive, and a corresponding pad is preferably formed on the second side of sheet 28 in register with foraminous region 36. Foraminous region 36 permits conductive coupling through thin sheet 28 for conductive pad 30 with its corresponding conductive pad formed on the second side. That is, conductive adhesive couples through the small holes of foraminous region 36 to provide conductive coupling of the conductive pad 30 with its corresponding conductive pad. Second conductive pad 32 is similarly formed in the vicinity of a second foraminous region 38 and is electrically coupled to a corresponding pad formed on the second side of sheet 28. In use, the conductive pads formed on the second side of sheet 28 are placed in contact with the subject's skin and adhere thereto. Conductive pads 30 and 32 remain exposed for coupling to sensor portion 14. It should be appreciated that sensor portion 14 is formed with a corresponding number of conductive pads, e.g., metalized or other conductive contacts, formed on a surface thereof for coupling to conductive pads 30 and 32.
Referring again to FIG. 1, sensor portion 14 includes a flexible substrate 40 preferably formed from a polyamide material, onto which are disposed and operably coupled a receiver/transmitter 42, a processing unit 44 and a sensing device 46. While shown as separate elements, it will be appreciated that receiver/transmitter 42, processing unit 44 and sensing device 46 may be formed in a single integrated circuit chip. Further disposed on substrate 40 are a transmit antenna 48 and a receive antenna 50, each of which are coupled to receiver/transmitter 42. A single antenna may be used for both transmit and receive, however, providing a separate transmit antenna 48 and receive antenna 50 allows for precise tuning of the antennas to the respective transmit and receive frequencies.
Further disposed on substrate 40 is at least one power source and preferably two power sources, battery 52 and solar cell array 54. As shown in FIG. 1, battery 52 and solar cell array 54 are layered onto substrate 40 creating a substantially flat and thin finished sensor product. Battery 52 may be a foil-type battery including a first and second foil electrode with a dielectric material disposed between them as are generally known. Solar cell array 54 preferably includes one or more photoelectric devices 55 coupled to provide a desired output voltage. As illustrated in FIG. 1 and in FIG. 3, each of battery 52 and solar cell array 54 provide B+ voltage and ground to a power bus structure 56 formed on substrate 40 and couples to each of the respective components thereof. In addition, battery 52 and solar cell array 54 are arranged to provide B− voltage to sensing device 46 via line 58 thereby permitting differential sensing capability.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, power is typically provided to the operative elements of sensor portion 14 by solar cell array 54. Output voltage from solar cell array 54 is further preferably coupled to battery 52 for providing a trickle charging current thereto providing a regenerative feature. When ambient light is unavailable to provide a sufficient output from solar cell array 54, battery 52 is then operable to power sensor portion 14.
With reference now to FIG. 4, a sensor portion 60 in accordance with an alternate preferred embodiment of the present invention has a circular configuration and is otherwise formed as described with respect to sensor portion 14. Like reference numerals are used to described like elements from sensor portion 14 contained within sensor portion 60 and primed reference numerals are used to refer to like elements modified to the circular configuration. As will be appreciated, and in accordance with the present invention, a subject interface 62 is formed having a configuration corresponding to that of sensor portion 60. As shown in FIG. 4, subject interface 62 is formed with a first conductive pad 64 and a second conductive pad 66 electrically coupled to corresponding conductive pads on an opposite side of subject interface 62 via respective foraminous regions 68 and 70. Subject interface 62 further includes a border area 72 for permitting simplified attachment and removal of subject interface 62 to and from a subject and sensor portion 60. It will be appreciated that depending on a given type of sensing device 46, a subject interface such as described with respect to subject interface 12 without conductive capability may be used.
In use and with reference to FIG. 5, a sensor 10 is detachably secured to a subject 16. That is, a subject interface, such as subject interface 12 is secured to the subject and a sensor portion, such as sensor portion 14, is then secured to subject interface 12. Subject interface 12 can be secured first to sensor portion 14 and then positioned on the subject. In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a sensor monitoring unit 74 communicates using radio-frequency transmissions 75 with sensor 10. Sensor 10 may continuously provide data, but more preferably, sensor 10 provides data in response to an interrogation signal received from monitoring unit 74.
With more particular reference to FIG. 3 and with reference now to FIG. 6, a preferred sensing device 46 includes a sensor element 76 and a filter 78. Filter 78 is preferably a low pass or band pass filter with filtering parameters selected to remove from the sensor signal unwanted interference, such as low frequency electrical noise from power supplies and the like and higher frequency signals such as from other types of radio frequency communication devices. Processing unit 44 preferably includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) 80 which is coupled to an output of filter 78 and a digital signal processor (DSP) 82. The output of filter 78, an analog signal, is converted to a digital signal within ADC 80, which is then communicated to DSP 82. DSP 82 includes program instructions to accept, process and store within its internal memory the digital sensor data. It is also programmed to receive and send signals via receiver/transmitter 42 (shown as receiver 42′ and transmitter 42″ in FIG. 5). Any suitable DSP may be used and programmed using its standard instruction set, and the selection and programming of DSP 82 is well within the skills of one having ordinary skill in the art.
Monitoring unit 74 preferably includes operably coupled a power supply 83, a transmitter 84, a receiver 86, an ADC 88, a DSP 90, and a user interface 92. User interface may include, but does not require each of these elements, a keyboard 94, a display 96, an interface to an alert system 98, a phone/Internet interface via a modem 100 and a printer 102. Transmitter 84 is coupled to an antenna 104 and receiver 86 is coupled to an antenna 106, although it may be possible to use a single antenna element. It is also possible that each of the elements, while shown as individual blocks, may be combined into a single integrated circuit device. As an additional alternative, a multi-purpose processor as part of computer operating a programmed set of instructions may be used as the basis for monitoring unit 74.
Each sensor 10 is provided a unique identification with respect to each other sensor 10 operating within the communication range of a monitoring unit 74. Thus, where ten sensors 10 are used on a subject, each will be assigned unique identification information which is stored within the memory of DSP 82 of the sensor. Likewise, monitoring unit 74 is programmed with the identification information for each of the sensors that it will monitor.
Referring now to FIG. 7 the method of operation of sensor 10 in conjunction with monitoring unit 74 is described with reference to the steps illustrated in flow chart 200. At step 202 analog signals are received from sensing element 76 and at step 204 are filtered by filter 78. At step 206, the filtered signals are converted to digital signals by ADC 80, and for later transmission, identification information is added to the sensor signals, step 208, forming a packet of sensor data. The packet of sensor data, at step 210, is then stored in the memory of DSP 82.
In parallel to the data collection steps 202-210, at receiver/transmitter 42, an interrogation signal is received from monitoring unit 74, step 212. At step 214 DSP 82 processes this signal, i.e., demodulates and decodes the signal to obtain the identification information contained therein. If the identification information does not match, i.e., the interrogation signal is not intended for this sensor, step 216, the message is discarded, step 218. If the message is intended for this sensor, at step 220 DSP 82 forms a transmit signal (e.g., a coded and modulated signal) containing the packet of sensor data, and at step 222 the transmit signal is transmitted to monitoring unit 74 by receiver/transmitter 42.
The present invention provides a great deal of flexibility as a biomedical sensing device. By eliminating the wire connections, the subject is free to move during the testing, Attaching the sensors to the subject is greatly simplified, and the attachments may be made smaller and less aggressive so as to reduce patient discomfort.
As described, sensors 10 preferably do not continuously transmit sensor data, but instead transmit in response to an interrogation signal. Thus, power consumption is greatly reduced. By further providing a self-sustaining power supply through the combination of battery 52 and solar cell array 54, sensors 10 may operate almost indefinitely.
The ability of sensor 10 to store and retain data provides great flexibility as does the ability to program monitoring unit 74 to selectively interrogate the sensors. Based upon the rate at which data is generated within a particular sensor, the rate at which the sensor is interrogated to transmit its data may be programmed. For example, a sensor measuring a subject's body temperature may be interrogated less frequently than a sensor measuring heart rate or brain activity. Moreover, DSP 82 may include up to and in some cases in excess of 100k of memory. Thus, sensor data may be written and retained over a long period of time and/or individual sample periods of data may be retained. In this later aspect of the invention, monitoring unit 74 may be programmed to request all data packets or selective data packets corresponding to particular sample periods. Furthermore, sensors may be worn by a subject outside the transmission/reception range of monitoring unit 74 for a period of time and the data later retrieved from the sensors.
Because each sensor is programmed with unique identification information and the ability to generate unique identification information is virtually limitless, a single subject may be provided numerous sensors and/or numerous subjects may all be provided sensors. All of these sensors may then be monitored by a single monitoring unit 74. As shown in FIG. 6, monitoring unit 74 may be provided with a variety of user interface features. This allows monitoring unit 74 to provide alerts 98, such as sounding an alarm or calling or paging an attendant, should the received sensor data fall outside a predetermined set of parameters for that data. Providing modem 100 permits the sensor data to be sent to further remote locations, and thus the sensor data may be brought to the doctor or analyst. This way the doctor may evaluate from a single location subjects being tested simultaneously at multiple locations. Of course, the data may also be simply displayed on display 96, printed in hard copy form by printer 102 or retained in some other form of storage media.
The present invention has been described in terms of several preferred embodiments directed to sensors adapted for use in biomedical applications. One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate the invention will have application apart from the embodiments herein described, and these embodiments should not be taken as limiting of its broad teachings.

People who habitually eat popcorn at the movies consumed the same amount whether it was fresh or stale, a study found. The findings in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin suggest that food habits may lead to mindless eating. Changes to disrupt consumption patterns, such as switching plate sizes and using nondominant hands when eating, may help dieters prevent excessive food intake, experts said.

Signs of disorder: Gannon students survey condition of west bayfront neighborhoods
Eli Stephans views his surroundings through a much different lens these days.
The Gannon University criminal justice major, 22, is part of a class project that requires students to use their cell phones to photograph, catalog and map signs of urban decay in the west bayfront neighborhoods that rim Gannon's campus -- things like crumbling sidewalks, vandalism, dilapidated housing, graffiti, trash and broken streetlights.
The project's aim: shed light on the fact that these kinds of conditions, if left unchecked, can breed violence, threaten neighborhood security and perpetuate poverty.
Stephans, who lives in the area at an apartment near West Sixth and Sassafras streets, admits that he used to stroll past such things every day, without a second thought.
Not any more.
"Now whenever I drive around and walk around, I actually look at my surroundings with a lot more detail," said Stephans, of Gibsonia, Pa., who aspires to a career as a police officer or prison guard.
Stephans and his fellow students are using a national online database to warehouse what they've found, and their research will presented to city of Erie officials at the end of the school year in May.
See Saturday's Erie Times-News and GoErie.com for more coverage.

Talk:Lin Carter
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
Does anyone know if Carter ever completed what he claimed was his great fantasy masterpiece Khymyrium, and if so whether there's any chance of it ever being published? Lee M 22:00, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- He did not finish it. A few short pieces he stated to be extracts from this work in progress were published in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In 1969 he claimed he had about ten or fifteen more years of work to put in on it before it was completed, in which case it would have been finished by about 1984. His health had collapsed by then. BPK (talk) 19:13, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
I have expanded the list of Carter's works. Believe I have about 90% or so of what he's done, if not more. --Emb021 15:24, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
Removed paragraph as POV (Lee M 03:44, 14 August 2005 (UTC)):
- While not a pioneer or an innovator like Burroughs, Lovecraft or Howard, Carter had a good storytelling talent and he was capable of delivering long descriptive passages of alien landscapes or ornate architectures keeping the reader interested, thanks to a vivid and enticing style.
Evangeline Walton[edit]
Contrary to the article, Evangeline Walton was a new author, not one whom Carter brought out of obscurity. In fact, LC actually gave her first published work The Island of the Mighty its title. Walton's original was The Virgin and the Swine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk • contribs) 01:24, 6 January 2006
- First, you might want to sign your comment. Four tildes does it for you. Now, to the point. You are correct about the original title and LC's retitling of it, but wrong on everything else. The book was published long before under the first title, and bombed (probably because of the title. Carter retitled and reprinted it, and then went on to publish the other works in the series, some of which had already been written. He did bring her out of obscurity; she was not a "new" writer. BPK 04:27, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
Trap-Door Spiders[edit]
That it was an all-male eating club makes sense. Changing it to "all-white", as an anonymity recently did, is like mentioning the "all-white Vice-Presidency of the U.S."--Wetman (talk) 08:27, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Airasia India's Maiden Flight on Bangalore-Goa Route
By PTI
Published: 30th May 2014 12:27 PM
Last Updated: 30th May 2014 12:27 PM
CHENNAI: Low cost carrier AirAsia India today said its maiden daily flight will be on the Bangalore- Goa route, with a price tag of Rs 990 including taxes. The airline will open the bookings this evening.
The first A320 flight is scheduled to leave Bangalore on June 12 afternoon, AirAsia India CEO Mittu Chandilya told reporters here.
AirAsia India, a joint venture between Malaysian carrier AirAsia, Tata Sons, and Arun Bhatia's Telestra Tradeplace, was granted flying licence by aviation regulator DGCA earlier this month after 9-month-long wait and various legal hurdles.
"AirAsia will be opening up the bookings this evening. By 9.30 pm our fares will be up there in our website. Our first route will be from Bangalore to Goa and Goa to Bangalore. We are very excited about that," Chandilya said.
"Our collective goal is that every Indian should have an opportunity to fly. We have our plane parked here already, he said.
Responding to a query, Chandilya said that by end of this financial year, the airline hopes to connect 10 cities, with 10 aircraft.
"We have about 300 people right now. Basically, we have about 80 people for one aircraft," he said to a query on how many people the airline would be adding this financial year.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- An Oklahoma City police officer is accused of sexually assaulting black women while he should have been patrolling the city -- sometimes targeting women walking alone and at other times assaulting motorists he pulled over on city streets.
An affidavit filed Friday says 27-year-old Daniel Ken Holtzclaw took one woman to a different location for an assault, while some occurred in his patrol car. Holtzclaw was arrested on charges including rape, sexual battery and indecent exposure.
Holtzclaw was assigned to a patrol division north and east of the Oklahoma state Capitol building. Capt. Dexter Nelson said Friday that while all of the alleged victims are black, that might be because the officer was assigned to a predominantly black neighborhood.
Teacher fired for pregnancy sues Catholic school district
BUTTE, Mont. -- A former teacher at a Montana Catholic school who was fired for being pregnant and unmarried is suing the school district.
Shaela Evenson filed the suit in U.S. District Court in Butte on Thursday, alleging her firing violated federal and state laws that prohibit discrimination based on pregnancy, the Montana Standard reported. She is seeking back pay, benefits, and compensatory and punitive damages.
Diocesan spokesman Dan Bartleson declined to comment Friday.
Evenson was fired for violating the terms of her contract, which required her to practice the tenets of the Catholic faith, said Patrick Haggarty, then the superintendent of schools for the diocese.
Teen hit by lightning released from hospital
LAS CRUCES, N.M. -- One of three eighth-grade football players hit by lightning during practice in a southern New Mexico town is out of the hospital.
The boy's father, Kenndre Aguilera, said his 13-year-old son, Demetrius, was released Thursday afternoon from a children's hospital in Texas.
An El Paso Children's Hospital spokeswoman said Friday that the most badly injured of the three teens, 13-year-old Hunter Keffer, has been upgraded from critical to serious condition.
An injured coach was released from a hospital after treatment.
Arrest warrant issued for tuberculosis patient
LOS ANGELES -- A Santa Barbara, Calif., man with a contagious case of drug-resistant tuberculosis was wanted on an arrest warrant Friday so he can complete treatment, health officials said.
Agustin Zeferino, 24, discontinued treatment for the disease two weeks ago, Santa Barbara County Health Department officials said. Zeferino poses a health risk to anyone who comes in contact with him, the department said.
Drug-resistant tuberculosis is a highly contagious and rare form of the disease that can be spread by coughing or sneezing.
It is the second time in the past month that California health officials issued a warrant for a TB patient refusing treatment. If a patient fails to receive treatment for an extended period of time, health officials work with the District Attorney's Office to decide whether to pursue charges.
By law, health officials can't force a patient to be treated for tuberculosis, but officials can use the courts to isolate the patient from the public. That is when officials offer treatment.
Bean bag chairs recalled after deaths
NEW YORK -- About 2.2 million bean bag chairs are being recalled after two children opened them, crawled inside and suffocated to death.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Friday that the zippers on the chairs, which are made by Ace Bayou Corp., can open.
A 13-year-old boy from McKinney, Texas, and a 3-year-old girl from Lexington, Ky., were found dead inside the chairs after they suffocated from a lack of air and inhaled the chair's foam beads.
The chairs were sold at Bon-Ton, Meijer, Pamida, School Specialty, Wayfair and Walmart stores and online at Amazon.com, Meijer.com and Walmart.com. They were sold before July 2013.
Woman set reservation fire to give friends work
BEND, Ore. -- The U.S. Justice Department said Friday an Oregon woman pleaded guilty in May to starting a wildfire on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation in 2013 because her firefighter friends were bored and needed work.
The U.S. Attorney's Office in Portland said 23-year-old Sadie Renee Johnson, of Warm Springs, tossed a small firework from a car in July 2013 into the roadside brush. The fire spread to about 80 square miles -- 51,000 acres -- and cost nearly $8 million to fight.
Investigators said she posted a Facebook question two days later: "like my fire?"
Officer charged in hot-car death of police dog
MILLS, Wyo. -- A Wyoming police officer pleaded not guilty Friday to an animal-cruelty charge that alleges a police dog died after he left it in a hot patrol car for several hours.
According to an investigator's statement filed in Natrona County Circuit Court, Mills police officer Zachary Miller left the dog, a 10-year-old female black lab named Nyx, in his patrol car for more than six hours July 9.
The car was running, but the air conditioning was off and outside temperatures reached 86 degrees, KCWY News 13 reported.

Insider: Heat Take Commanding 2-0 Series Lead
After Saturday?s 33 point victory, the Miami Heat knew they were going to see a much more competitive New York Knicks team in game two.? For nearly three quarters they did, but the Heat started to pull away by ending the third frame on a 6-1 run.
The nine-point lead they built at the end of that second to last quarter would never dissipate and Miami cruised to a 104-94 win to take a 2-0 lead in the series.? They struggled to find their mark from three all night, but the Heat were 4-6 from deep in the fourth quarter, which kept the Knicks at bay for the final 12 minutes.
?When we?re hunting for those shots, it opens up lanes, make or miss,? said head coach Erik Spoelstra.? ?We want those guys shooting freely, even if they are contested. Mike (Miller) is that good of a shooter, Shane (Battier) is that good of a shooter.?
To add to the late perimeter success, the ?Big Three? might have had one of their better collective games.? Dwyane Wade was the early assassin, notching 11 in the first quarter on his way to 25 points for the game.
LeBron James finished with 19 points and 9 assists and Chris Bosh shot 7-12 from the field, finishing with 21 points.? However, it seemed to be Wade that took the featured role in contrast to Sunday when James dominated.
?I mean he?s just an aggressive player,? said James on Wade.? ?I saw he had it going, so I made adjustments throughout the game.? I was able to focus on getting Wade involved and letting him carry the offensive load.? It?s great to have that, that 1-2-3 punch out there.?
Trying to combat the effort of the Heat?s stars was Carmelo Anthony.? After a 3-15 shooting performance in game one, Anthony went off for a game high 30.? Half of his points came in the first quarter though and the defensive effort of James and Shane Battier slowed him as the game went on.
Regardless, Spoelstra said it did not seem like they kept him in check at any point in the contest.
?He?s a prolific scorer,? said Spoelstra.? ?When he?s got it going like that I don?t know if there is a better shot maker in the league.? I don?t know how many times over his career we?ve said great defense, but he?s killing us.?
While Anthony was a standout and Amar?e Stoudamire chipped in 18 points, the Knicks did not have nearly as many options to go to as the Heat.? In addition to the ?Big Three?, Miami also got the best offensive nights they have seen in awhile out of Miller, Battier, and Mario Chalmers.
Miller and Battier each finished with 11 points on 3-5 shooting from long distance and Chalmers contributed 13 to the cause.? Clearly, there was a level of comfort for everyone within the flow of the offense and there were 28 Heat assists on the 38 field goals made.
?We were working on things when it comes to our spacing and also our ball movement as the season was coming to an end,? said Wade.? ?Now, we have the guys on the court we want out there and everyone kind of knows their role a little bit more.? The ball is moving.?
To date, it has been 11 years since the Knicks last playoff victory.? Frustration boiled over to such an extent after this loss that Stoudamire punched a fire hydrant and lacerated his left hand.? He left Miami in a sling and his return for the next few games is doubtful.
Now, New York will head home and try to put all that has occurred in the first two games behind them.? Avoiding being on the brink of elimination will be tough, but the desperation the Knicks will play with has Miami focused knowing that this series is far from over.
?We did what we were supposed to do,? Spoelstra said on defending home court.? ?It?s not anything more than that.? We?re already trying to leave this game behind.? It will be a great environment up there and we have about 24 hours to decompress and then get back to it and try to regenerate the energy and focus.?

10.35 to 14.97 with only one down day since Aug. 12th, and that was 2 cents early on! There was also the premarket spike that telegraphed the move, and Terry and Bandeh shorting after every up day (or at least claiming to be). Today was the most impressive day of the whole run-up: a breakout to a 52-wk high on double the avg. volume. This is the exact move the The Street was looking for which would signal for them a major buying opportunity for a run to as high as 20 in the short term. When stocks move from 10 to 100 in a relatively short period of time (6-18 months) they experience the kind of action we've witnessed over the last 12 trading sessions. Will Insmed make a run to triple digits? No one can know for sure, but if NTM comes in as expected and liposomal Cisplatin makes news along with Iplex, then yes, I believe it not only could happen, but it will. This is the most exciting time to be invested in Insmed since Iplex was first approved for Short Stature eight years ago, but now the scenario is actually so much better!
God bless,
Sentiment: Strong Buy
August 12th is my birthday. INSM decided they wanted to celebrate with me and give me a birthday present.
I like to look at the trading prices intraday -low of 10.15 and today high of 15.09-slightly over a 50% increase.I sure wish I caught that for a trade.
it's been a nice ride, can go higher too

ROBERT BUGGEY pulled out of the Frankford Transportation Center, drove his SEPTA Route 88 bus through Mayfair, Holmesburg and Bustleton, across the Montgomery County line and up a tree-lined stretch of Moreland Road near Huntingdon Pike, where he said, "I've seen turkey vultures having lunch in the road. Deer. The guy in that house raises guinea hens. I've seen them on the road, too."
The critters all survived because Buggey, 61, a SEPTA bus operator for 40 years, still has the intense focus he learned as a young Marine Corps truck driver.
A few minutes earlier, a cat ran in front of his bus along the Blue Grass Road commercial corridor.

3 Ways to Cut Down on the Cost of Packing Materials for Your Business
It is no secret that shipping good can be the costliest aspect of owning a small business. When you constantly have merchandise coming and going from your store you may be looking for ways to cut down on the cost of packing materials. Since you can't change the cost of shipping per weight, the least you can do is decrease the amount that your products do way upon sending. Before shipping a product at your local UPS franchise, here are three things you can do to cut down on the cost of packing materials.
- Have the right materials. The biggest mistake businesses make is thinking that they should just use one type of packing materials that they have less to purchase. Having the right size boxes to ship different types of products and using appropriate packing materials can make a huge difference in cost. For example, harder items that are not likely to break can suffice with newspaper packing to minimize movement. However, breakable items may require packing peanuts when shipping.
- Reuse materials. Any time you get a box delivered to your own business is not pertaining to save those packing materials. You may not necessarily want to save the box itself, but the internal bubblewrap, air mailers, or brown packing paper can easily be reused for different products that you may ship.
- Buy in bulk. For convenience, many businesses think to purchase their packing supplies individually per order at places like their local UPS franchise. You can actually cut the cost of your supplies by up to 70% by simply purchasing in bulk and purchasing online through packaging retailers such as Uline or PlasticContainerCity. Even though you might spend more up front, you will spend substantially less per product for shipping. These savings can add up over time to result in more money they can be invested back into your business.

Bumblebees foraging in flowers for nectar are like salesmen traveling between towns: Both seek the optimal route to minimize their travel costs. Mathematicians call this the "traveling salesman problem," in which scientists try to calculate the shortest possible route given a theoretical arrangement of cities. Bumblebees, however, take the brute-force approach: For them, it's simply a matter of experience, plus trial and error, scientists report in the current issue of PLoS Biology.

At Alpha Orthopedics our goal is simple: To take a "rapid rehabilitation" approach to wellness, with the purpose of seeing patients restored to optimum health and back to their daily lives as soon as possible. Minimally invasive surgery results in less pain, a faster recovery and a cosmetically pleasing outcome for our patients. In select patients, we offer total hip replacement as an outpatient procedure. This procedure is only being done in a few centers nationally.
Dr. Toulson and his team are dedicated to providing Excellence in Orthopedics for our patients. We are experienced, compassionate and reliable. Call our office today to make an appointment. We also welcome you to visit our sister organization, The Robotic Joint Replacement Institute, and see some of our astounding results and outcomes for yourself… Such as a patient walking UNASSISTED two days after having bi-lateral (both) hip replacement surgery!
Donnie Boone thought his active days were over when his hips began to give out. "Couldn't stay on my feet more than 10 minutes," he explains, so he sought help from Baylor. Donnie turned out to be a perfect candidate for having both hips done at once with a technique that shortens recovery time by eliminating the need to cut through muscle. Hours after surgery, he was walking, and weeks later, he was back to riding and hunting. "Even took my wife dancing," he adds.

Khan: I Never Gave Ariza Permission To Leave My Camp
By Osman Rodriguez
Former chamion Amir Khan has denied some of the past statements that were made by his former strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza. It was revealed last month that Khan and Ariza parted ways, with Khan hiring conditioning coach Ruben Tabares.
In the month of April, Ariza left the Philippines, where he and trainer Freddie Roach were working with Khan and WBO 147-pound champion Manny Pacquiao. Ariza headed back to America to help prepare middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. for his upcoming fight with Andy Lee on June 16th.
Khan had been training for a rematch with Lamont Peterson, which was scheduled for May 19th and later canceled. Pacquiao was training for this Saturday's fight with Timothy Bradley.
Roach, who trains both Pacquiao and Khan, had no idea Ariza was leaving. There is now tension between Roach and Ariza and their internal rift has been a clear focus on HBO's ongoing 24/7 Pacquiao-Bradley reality series. Although Pacquiao retained the services of Ariza and gave him permission to leave his camp and help Chavez, Khan claims that he never gave Ariza permission and that forced him to hire a new conditioning coach. Ariza had claimed that both Pacquiao and Khan gave him the green light to work with Chavez.
"Alex left my camp in the middle. [Alex said] Manny said it was okay to leave - but I didn't - [and] I was his number two fighter. My new strength coach is down to earth. He doesn't want his name mentioned [in the press]," Khan said.

Well, it looks like he won't be resigned. I guess I question why Holland traded for him in the first place at this stage. Yes, I know, to make the playoffs. I still believe we should have given the kid a chance at the NHL level first.
He was signed because Joakim Andersson was the first line center. Seriously, reread that sentence and let it soak in. Andersson is a borderline NHL player and he was playing 1C. Even if the team was mathematically out of playoff contention that is still unacceptable. Something had to be done, so Holland pulled the trigger on Legwand.<-------------That is why Detroit traded for him.

Up to now the prolific and ever self-renewing director Raoul Ruiz has been largely an acquired taste for the cognoscenti willing to follow him on his cultural voyages. But with the surprisingly accessible and eminently enjoyable "Three Lives and Only One Death, " set in Paris in August and spotlighting the masterful Marcello Mastroianni in a quadruple role, Ruiz stands to gain much wider arthouse admiration.
Up to now the prolific and ever self-renewing director Raoul Ruiz, a Chilean-born citizen of the world, has been largely an acquired taste for the cognoscenti willing to follow him on his cultural voyages. But with the surprisingly accessible and eminently enjoyable "Three Lives and Only One Death, " set in Paris in August and spotlighting the masterful Marcello Mastroianni in a quadruple role, Ruiz stands to gain much wider arthouse admiration. The film is poised to open around continental Europe, and despite a rather overlong two-hour running time, it may be expected to fill in the missing territories after winning kudos on the Croisette.
Dealing with things as various as pathological psychology, storytelling, magic and the Maastricht treaty, the film takes the viewer on a merry chase through Mastroianni's amazing split personalities. Inspired by writers like Hawthorne and Pirandello, Ruiz and his co-scripter, Pascal Bonitzer, have decorated the pic with more witty cultural references than flowers on French wallpaper. The viewer is free to delve as deeply as desired, or just sit back and laugh at these weird tales, recounted in voiceover by a deadpan radio announcer (Pierre Bellemare).
The first of Mastroianni's personalities we meet is Mateo Strano, a traveling salesman who walked out of his Parisian apartment one day and hasn't been seen since by wife Maria (Marisa Paredes.) Twenty years later he's back, pouring his story into the unwilling ear of Maria's new husband, Andre (Feodor Atkine). It seems that he's been living across the street all this time, bewitched by fairies. Persuaded to accompany Mateo back to his apartment, Andre finds a hammer embedded in his head when he refuses to switch roles with the mad stranger. Mateo cheerfully buries him in the garden and goes home to Maria, who takes the new developments in stride and calmly shows Mateo "their" adopted baby girl.
The second case of split personality is Georges Vickers, professor of negative anthropology at the Sorbonne. One day he leaves the wealthy home of his ill-tempered mother and takes up the life of a homeless street tramp. This is how he meets the fascinating, sexy hooker Tania (Anna Galiena), whose only fault in his eyes is her appreciation of writer Carlos Castaneda. (Castaneda's literary character Don Juan, a Mexican wizard who preached the mystery of "two worlds touching," returns throughout the film as a disquieting idea.)
One day Vickers comes to himself and returns to his responsibilities, only to learn Tania has also been leading a double life: She is really the president of a huge corporation. He uses his influence to get her out of jail for trying to murder her perverse ex-husband (Jacques Pieller), and they get married.
If any cutting is to be done, it should be in the third tale, where a tiresome lovey-dovey young couple, Cecile (Chiara Mastroianni) and Martin (Melvil Poupaud), live happily in a poor garret until a mysterious benefactor bequeaths them a magnificent chateau complete with a silent butler (Mastroianni again) who appears only when they ring a bell. Realizing the butler (who is really the chateau owner) is poisoning them, they flee. But he finds them and demands their baby daughter, whom he takes to Maria, who adopts her.
From this point on there begins to be an unsettling overlap of characters. Mastroianni's fourth personality is a rich industrialist, Luc Allamand, who is disconcerted to learn that a wife, daughter and sister he has invented to favor his worldwide business interests are arriving in town. To escape this intolerable situation he turns back into Mateo, then the butler, then Professor Vickers. Only now is it clear that one and the same person has been living these parallel, incompatible but horribly interlocked lives.
A superb storyteller, Ruiz functions like a magician keeping his audience entranced, though it is doubtful whether the film would spring to life in such a delightful way without an actor of Mastroianni's caliber to bring out the story's playfulness.
Instead of trying to differentiate his multiple personalities, he is the same gentle, confused, apologetic person in all of them — a role that perhaps not by coincidence sums up many others in his long career.
Numerous members of the supporting cast make major contributions, from the irresistibly sexy Galiena and the stuttering, spooky Pieller, to Paredes' glowing, unflappable wife whose husbands have a habit of disappearing, and Chiara Mastroianni as the charming, fresh and completely unsexy girl next door.
But the film also works on other levels for viewers adept at reading Ruiz's visual gags and multilingual puns. One point that is made repeatedly is that people lose their identities on Rue Maastricht, and the Europeanization of culture is a sickness that is spreading among politicians, artists, sports stars — everybody.
Spurious psychologists doubling as Euro-parliamentarians claim that a split personality is a sign of success, and press people to become interchangeable. Pic may be a witty, ironic game of suspended disbelief, but underneath the fun, the confusion of the age is shown taking a heavy toll.
Echoing the story is amusing original tech work across the board. Cinematographer Laurent Machuel plays with split screen and other humorous f/x, particularly entrancing in the fairy sequence.
Editor Rodolfo Wedeless has brilliantly intercut scenes to heighten mystery until the time comes to dispel the confusion. Luc Chalon's tongue-in-cheek set design includes some truly surreal objects that remain in memory — the sculpture of a double staircase, that buzzing French floral wallpaper. Jorge Arriagada's old-fashioned score follows the action closely, adding gongs and bells as portents and romantic motifs recalling a bygone, cinematic Paris.

The Auburn football team has a long way to go and short time to get there, given Thursday's trip to cowbell country, but the Auburn fans are in mid-season form.
A measly 60 minutes into the new season, they want to lose Ted Roof.
Not all of them have taken up pitchforks and torches and marched off in the direction of their defensive coordinator, mind you. Just the ones who own computers with Internet access.
The following are just a few of the topics that popped up Saturday on the free AUTigers.com message board before the 52-26 win over Arkansas State was done:
"Like a Roof in Headlights."
"I'd Have to Say Roof is on the Hot Seat."
"The Roof, the Roof, the Roof Needs to be Fired."
OK, so those particularly displeased posters lacked originality. They more than made up for it in animosity.
To react to this knee-jerk reaction, we turned to a man who knows a few things about defense, which he's coached, and knee-jerk reaction, which he's gotten and given.
"That goes with the territory," said former Auburn coach and current AUTigers.com blogger Pat Dye. "On Ted's behalf, last year we didn't have near-enough people on defense. We still don't have enough people, and we're playing with a lot of young ones."
See what he did there? He played the depth card and the youth card, all in one hand. It's true on both counts, but well-played just the same, coach.
"There's more than one coach over there" on that side of the ball, he said. So git 'er done, Tracy Rocker, Tommy Thigpen and Phillip Lolley.
"Besides that," Dye said, "I know damn well Gene Chizik knows how to coach defense, and he's involved with the defense."
That last thought explains why, 18 years after he coached his last game, Dye remains a go-to guy on all manner of football-related matters. His hindsight may be 50-50, but his insight is 20-20.
There are reasons for concern at Auburn heading into Year Two, Game Two of the Chizik era, and the most pressing do revolve around what happens while Cam Newton is resting after adding to his highlight reel.
Busted tackles. Botched assignments. The uncanny ability to make the most pedestrian quarterback look like Joe Montana, before he started peddling walking shoes.
Forget the SEC. Based on statistical and anecdotal evidence, right now the Auburn defense isn't good enough to win the Sun Belt.
If you're looking for someone to blame, or hoping for someone to correct the mistakes that have seen Auburn allow at least 26 points in its last five games dating to last season, you really should look a little higher on the organizational chart than coordinator.
What did Chizik do before he became a head coach? He coordinated defenses. In two of his last three years in that position, he coordinated two defenses that were part of undefeated teams.
His 2004 Auburn unit led the country in scoring defense. His 2005 Texas outfit finished No. 8 nationally in that department.
Despite what some bitter Iowa State backers may believe, Chizik didn't bump his head in the last five years and forget everything he ever knew about stopping the other team from scoring. Nor did he hire Roof and turn the defense entirely over to him to go work on his putting.
As for the defensive coordinator, who's an early favorite to defend his title as the team's scapegoat, Dye defended him and argued that one year and one game isn't near-enough evidence to hang him.
"You damn sure couldn't grade him based on last year," Dye said. "We lined up with two linebackers that played every snap. At the present time, I think we're better on defense with a chance to get a lot better."
They better, and in a hurry. Otherwise, Roof will leave Starkville with his ears ringing. Cowbells will have nothing to do with it.
