Antigua remains mostly warm and dry throughout the year, but mid December to mid April is considered its dry season. The driest months of all are February to April, when humidity is low and temperatures are warm without being stifling.
We love Antigua in the cooler, drier months of mid December to mid April, the peak tourist season, when the island experiences less rain, heat, and humidity. The cold weather at home makes Antigua the perfect destination for winter sun.
Mid April to late November sees increased temperatures and rainfall, usually brief showers lasting less than 15 minutes. July and August see most rain, on average around eight days a month, which can make the climate more humid.
Aruba generally boasts great weather at any time of year. The hottest months are May to October, with slightly cooler days from December to March. With trade winds throughout the year, even the highest temperatures are not unbearable.
Any time is a good time to visit Aruba, with year round good weather. The high season (December to mid April) offers more in terms of excursions and nightlife, but the island is far from lifeless during the low season.
The drier months of December to April see less rain, a milder climate, and a pleasant breeze thanks to the Bahamas' proximity to North America. Being high season, there's a great choice of things to do and a feel-good holiday atmosphere.
A perfect escape from the cold weather back home, our favourite time to visit the Bahamas is in the drier months of December to April, when the islands enjoy the most comfortable temperatures without being too hot.
The Bahamas' rainy season coincides with its hottest temperatures, meaning the short, sharp showers from May to October are actually a welcome relief from the heat and humidity. The hurricane season stretches from June to November, but storms are usually detected early.
As the easternmost Caribbean island, the weather in Barbados is sunnier and drier than many of the other islands. The driest, and most popular, time to visit Barbados is from December to April.
With a tempting 3,000 hours of sunshine every year, Barbados is a great year round destination. Our favourite time to go is from December and June, when the island experiences less rain and around 8 to 10 hours of sunshine a day.
The Dominican Republic boasts a year-round tropical climate, but the dry season runs from December to April. This is the most popular time to go thanks to cooler, more comfortable temperatures and plentiful sunshine–perfect holiday weather.
Our favourite time to visit the Dominican Republic is in the drier months of mid December to April. The island will be slightly busier at this time, but that also means more options in terms of activities, nightlife, and excursions.
May to November is the hottest, wettest, most humid time of year, but you can still enjoy good weather. Heavy downpours pass quickly, making way for the sun. The island is most at risk from hurricanes in August and September.
Like most other Caribbean islands, Grenada's driest months run from December to April. And if you really don't want to get caught in a shower, April is statistically the driest month of all.
We love Grenada in peak season, during the drier months of mid December to mid April. This time of year is often slightly cooler too, making it a pleasant temperature for enjoying activities, excursions, and the buzz of island life.
Grenada is most likely to see rain from June to December, when the island encounters short, sharp showers often accompanied by strong trade winds. The hurricane season runs from June to November but hurricane threats are usually rare.
The wettest months are usually May to June and September to November. When it does rain, showers tend to be short and followed by sunshine. Hurricane season runs from July to October, but direct hits on Jamaica are very rare.
We love visiting Jamaica during the slightly cooler, drier months of December to April. The weather's great, the island buzzes with holiday atmosphere, and there are plenty of tours, excursions, and things to do.
Jamaica's tropical climate means it's always warm, and the sun shines most of the time. January to April is the driest time to visit if you really don't want to give up a moment of time in the sun.
St Vincent and the Grenadines boasts a warm tropical climate year round. But visit the islands from December to May for less chance of rainfall, and slightly cooler, more comfortable temperatures. Less rain means the islands are less humid, too.
Our favourite time to visit St Vincent and the Grenadines is during the slightly cooler, drier months of December to May. This is peak season, so the islands are slightly busier but, unlike other Caribbean islands, they are rarely overcrowded.
With short, sharp showers and increased humidity, June to November's rainy season coincides with the hottest months (June to September) and hurricane season (June to October). Storms generally pass north of the Grenadines so a direct hit is rare.
The beauty of holidays in Turks and Caicos is that the islands stay pretty dry all year round. The only real difference is that temperatures are more comfortable from December to June, with the hottest months from July to November.
On average Turks and Caicos is blessed with 350 sunny days a year, but our favourite time to go is December to June, when temperatures are slightly cooler. December to April is peak season, with more people and things to do.
We love Bermuda holidays best from May to October, when temperatures are at their highest. This is when the tourist season is in full swing, with plenty of activities and a fun, relaxed atmosphere across the island.

Rankin/Bass Products created the ThunderCats that aired in 1985; the series had a total of 130 episodes each running 22 minutes. ThunderCats like He-Man had a huge following and besides the cartoon series comic books were made.
ThunderCats also had a movie that was shown in 1986 a year after the original series was released. Toonami which is a block of the Cartoon Network also had episodes of ThunderCats even in 1997. To be said however 2007 bough big news as a movie in 2010 is said to be released.
On the planet of Thundera a team of heroes worked together, they are a cat type of human. The planet is dying however and it forces the ThunderCats to leave their planet. Upon leaving they are attacked and only one ship is left.
The one ship that made it out alive contained many of the series heroes and their leader Lion-O along with the Eye which is the source of their power. They eventually reach the planet and their
adventures go from there. They do eventually manage to rebuilt their lost home on a different planet.
The second season titled New ThunderCats brought on different characters then the first season. You can find DVD's of the ThunderCats at many online stores.

this is one of the best cartoons out there. It has lots of action, mistery, an a little bit of comedy. the most favorite episode was the Annoument of Lional.
It is were the members of the thundercats put him to the test to see if he can handle being the leader of the thundercats. they need to make a movie out of it.
Please contact me so i can buy the 1st thundercat movie that came out n 1987
legendary cartoon,ha ha although i was 12 at time had a little bro of 5 and a sis of 12 we all loved it,although of course just about a teenager i denied.fact was when me and me crew got together up the ridge,when the girls were there we was all "yeah im panthro or liono"but hey when the girls went on thier trip to garage to get thier latest slap tips,little to thier knowledge,us lads were all debating cheetars arse,ha ha
Loved Watching It! Thunder! Thunder!Thundercats!
Hi. I used to watch the series of this cartoon when I was 13 via Qatar or Bahrain TV channel 37 or 55. That time, we had no satellite or Internet. I was in South of Iran very close to these countries and it was easy for me to select the program by a very simple antenna. However, for my generation at that time, Thunder cats was a nice memorable cartoon that still I am 40 , I am interested to watch the series of this cartoon and show it to my son as well.
by the way, where can I find and download the whole series?

The Gym Dogs' victory improved their record to 13-0 overall and 6-0 in SEC competition. It marks the seventh time in the last 10 years Georgia has finished undefeated in SEC dual-meet action.
Beginning on vault the Gym Dogs jumped out to a 49.350-46.650 lead over Kentucky. Tiffany Tolnay reckoned the highest Gym Dog score in the first rotation with a 9.950. Both Kelsey Ericksen and Katie Heenan posted a 9.875.
The Gym Dogs continued their lead over the Wilcats with a 48.850 on the uneven bars. Ericksen guided the team while tying her season high of 9.950. Ashley and Courtney Kupets both contributed a 9.900.
Georgia led 98.200-97.200 at the midpoint.
During the third rotation on beam, the Gym Dogs advanced with Courtney Kupets and Heenan scoring 9.9s. Tiffany Tolnay scored a 9.825, while both Ericksen and Ashley Kupets recorded a 9.800. Georgia's 49.275 on beam tied its season high.
Ending on the floor exercise, Courtney Kupets scored 9.900, which also showed the Gym Dogs to an event score of 49.150. Tolnay marked a 9.875 while both Abby Stack and Smith both added 9.8s.
Courtney Kupets won her fifth straight all-around competition with a score of 39.525 and Ericksen was second with a 39.35. Ashley Kupets finished her first all-around of the year with a 39.3.
"We did not look like a championship team tonight," said head coach Suzanne Yoculan. "We've got a long way to go and a lot of work to do. We need to get back into our rhythm because we got out of our rhythm tonight. We competed a few people in a different order tonight and I think that affected our performance."
On Mon. the Gym Dogs return to action on the road at No. 3 ranked Utah. The Gym Dogs have not competed in Salt Lake City since 1999 when they took home the national title. It will the first dual meet at Utah since 1991.

If you need a moment of serene beauty in the pre-holiday bustle, the artwork in our meeting room will provide. Members of the Northwest Art League have hung some collages and paintings that I think you'll enjoy in Room L-129 during December. Breathe deep and enjoy!
Northwest Art League is back this month with more paintings for you to enjoy in the Meeting Room, Room L-129! Carol Carranza, Susan Garrison, Carmen Lorzi, Dorothy Lyons, and Janice Smith have contributed their work to grace our walls for another month.
Did you know that you can book the Meeting Room for your (non-commercial) meetings? It holds up to fifty people and has a small kitchen with a refrigerator for your refreshments. We also have a PowerPoint projector, should you need it. Call the library or drop by the Reference deck to book it. And then you can sit and enjoy the Northwest Art League's paintings as you converse.
Alicia Mitchell is back with more of her prolific collection of expressive paintings and collages. If you happen to be in the library this month, check out our meeting room--Room L-129--for this El Paso native's exciting work.
At the library's Artist's Date last month retired architect William (Bill) Epps gave a demonstration of how to draw perspective so artists can include buildings in their paintings. He went on to paint an abstract under-painting consisting of pools of colors that would later appear in the finished painting. And then he covered the whole wet painted paper with plastic wrap, so the colors would puddle in the ridges of plastic wrap. This is how he begins his painting process.
This month you can enjoy the finished paintings of this artist who combines the drafted precision of the architect and the random freedom of the master watercolorist, in the library's meeting room, Room L-129.
Within a 200-mile radius of Houston there are 18 independent art leagues under an umbrella fine arts organization called the Lone Star Art Guild. The Tomball Art League serves our immediate area and its next-door neighbor to the south is the Northwest Art League. This month we are delighted to host the artworks of a group of Northwest Art League members in our meeting room. Carmen Zorba, Claire Payne, Jerry Sue Greenhill, and Anh Lam have braved the traffic along Highway 249 to come north and hang a variety of acrylic and watercolor pieces. Do come by and enjoy their work.
Drop your chores, bring your lunch and your art supplies, and join us in the front room of the library for our summer Artist's Date Thursday, August 7th. Beginning at 10:00, we'll spend the morning doing our own art project; then we'll have lunch, and at 1:00, artist Gabe Riquelme will help us learn how to do believable figure drawing.
When you see Alicia Mitchell's artwork in Room L-129 this month you'll immediately feel her warmth and humanity. A lifelong resident of El Paso, she moved to Spring when she retired in 2001 and took up painting with a passion. She works in oils, acrylics, pastels, charcoal, colored pencil, collage, and clay; but her exhibition this month features some of her oil paintings and collages. C'mon by!
Next time you're in the library drop into our meeting room, Room L 129, and enjoy the paintings of Linnie Baird. Born in Alabama, Baird finally got to Texas in her early twenties and has been delighted to be here ever since. You'll be amazed to learn she's been painting for only seven years, having taken up a family painting tradition only after her artist father died. She paints in oils and pen and ink, with a distinctly Texas style. She's equally at home with painting architecture, landscape ( in both Texas and Colorado), and figures.
Are you new to our community? Or, maybe, you are looking for a fun activity to do with the family? Houston has so many wonderful places to visit; one of my favorites is the Museum of Fine Arts Houston.
Before your visit the museum, stop by the library, and pick up a few of the book suggestions that I have provided. Sharing books together with your child, provides a great opportunity to reflect upon that they think and to make fine art more relevant to them.
According to the MFAH website, there are several ways you can enjoy the museum without having to pay admission.
Do you worry about your infants putting everything in their mouths that they can lay their hands on? But at the same time you want them to be exposed to new textures and learn new motor skills? Worry no more! Come and join us for Infant Explorers on Thursday, April 4, 2013 @ 10:30 AM where we shall have tons of fun painting with homemade edible paints. Here's the finger paint recipe that we are using.

Moore's Law threatened by lithography woes
Rick Merritt, EETimes
LEUVEN, Belgium – Moore's Law, the engine of semiconductor innovation for decades, is losing steam due to delayed introduction of next-generation extreme ultraviolet lithography. That was the verdict of experts at the 2012 International Symposium on Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography.
EUV systems need light sources that are nearly 20 times more powerful than the ones used today to lay down patterns on next-generation chips that target sizes as small as 14 nm, Following a global symposium on the topic here, a group of lithography experts said that they hope to have the 200W EUV light sources by 2014—but it may take more time.

FWIW, Mike of dqscustomshop.com (does custom trumpet work here in Wichita) told me that he uses Selmer slide grease (the red stuff) cut with valve oil for the 1st/3rd valve slides. So that's what I use.
FWIW, Mike of dqscustomshop.com (does custom trumpet work here in Wichita) told me that he uses Selmer slide grease (the red stuff) cut with valve oil for the 1st/3rd valve slides. So that's what I use.
Making a comeback after 9yrs, one step at a time!
Wild Thing Bb, Benge Claude Gordon Bb, Yamaha 635ST flugel, Selmer 900 TT C trumpet (possibly for sale - PM me)
Companies spend thousands of dollars researching this stuff so we don't have to. As a fledgling repair tech, there are a few mixes I know of that are useful in certain situations, but other than those specific mixes, I just use name brand valve oil, slide grease and key oil.
Dennis wick Valve oil for my trumpet (they sent a free bottle to everyone in NAPBIRT and it is the finest oil i have ever used) Selmer slide grease cut with valve oil, lanolin, and yamaha medium key oil for woodwind work.
Well some Valve oils have siliconesin them according to some synthetic valve oil companies. They claim that silicones are the reasons for rather fast build up with some oils. They would not name name's though only that one of the companies was rather large.They also claimed that alcohola nd sitillates are not good either. Obviously their product is free of all these things. They also warned about useing any grease on slides for the reason the Rowuk mentioned "migration" even if it does not have silicone in it if the grease migrates tot he valves I guess it only takes a little bit to slow the valves down massively. I wish I could easily find out which oils have silicones in them. Most of them list distillates and alcohol but not the specific ingredients normaly.
IN fact many dish soaps and handsoaps and shampoo's have various forms of silicone in them. I know one synthetic oil company recomends Ivory dish soap I believe because it does not have any silicones in it.
I am not sure that silicone per se is the problem. That grease has specific properties and other silicone products may have others.
I use LaTromba T2 valve oil. I have no idea if it is the fastest, but there is no build up or discoloration of the valves, the wear is much lower (I keep my horns for a long time) and 10 years of experience has proven to me that I need not look further. I use slide grease that came with my Monette. It is very thick and sticky. I thin it with Hetman synthetic oil (#14) for rotary valves for the 1st and 3rd slides.
The bottom line is keeping the horn clean. Then you only need small amounts of oil. A bottle of T2 lasts over a year for a single instrument. 8 bucks for a year of peace is cheap insurance.
We have not addressed the toxicity of alternate lubricants. Remember, you inhale aerosols from the instrument when playing.
Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.

Demure Ellen Muriel Deason of Nashville began playing the guitar at the
age of 14. In 1938, at the age of 20, she married Johnnie Wright and the
two embarked on a long musical career. Taking her name from the old
folk song ditty, "Sweet Kitty Wells," she told the world "It Wasn't God
Who Made Honky Tonk Angels." Heralded as the "Queen of Country Music,
Wells has passed away following complications from a stroke. She was 92.
Kitty Wells was an innovator, bringing a female perspective to the male-dominated country music scene.

Keywords: Kitty Wells, country music, Hall of Fame, Queen of Country Music
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Wells recorded 50 albums in her lifetime and had 25 Top 10 country hits. She became the first solo female artist to have the No. 1 country hit with her song "Honky Tonk Angels" in 1952.
Some of Wells' other hits included "The Things I Might Have Been," "Release Me," "Heartbreak USA" and the 1955 song "Making Believe," which landed on the "Mississippi Burning" soundtrack 33 years later.
Wells was an innovator, bringing a female perspective to the male-dominated country music scene. "Kitty Wells was every female country music performer's heroine," singer Barbara Mandrell said in a statement. "She led the way for all of us and I feel very grateful and honored to have known her. She was always the most gracious, kind and lovely person to be around."
Songwriter Tom T. Hall noted, "Kitty was the first lady to come out and tell her side of the story about honky tonking and cheating and those kinds of things."
Wells enjoyed a nearly unbroken string of popular singles during the '50s, both on her own and partnered with male label mates Red Foley and Webb Pierce. Until the advent of Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn in the late '50s and early '60s, she had little competition for chart supremacy among other female singers.
One of Wells' last high-profile major label appearances came in 1974, when Phil Walden's Capricorn Records issued "Forever Young," which featured the veteran singer backed by members of the Allman Brothers Band, the label's top rock act. The title track was a Bob Dylan cover.
Managed as ever by husband Wright, with whom she started an independent label and country museum, Wells continued to tour until her retirement in 2000.
Wells and her husband Wright, who died in 2011, had three children, eight grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.

The present invention relates to resectoscopes and methods of use thereof, and more particularly, the present invention relates to an improved electrode assembly apparatus for an electrosurgical resectoscope and methods for use thereof.
Electrosurgical resectoscopes are used for transurethral and gynecological surgical procedures. Conventional electrosurgical resectoscopes include a handle, a telescope for viewing the surgical site and an electrode assembly that can be used for performing surgical procedures. A proximal portion of the electrode assembly is formed of an elongate conductor surrounded by an insulative sheath. A distal portion of the electrode assembly is typically formed by a pair of insulated wire leads. The proximal ends of the wire leads are connected to the distal end of the elongate conductor of the proximal portion of the electrode assembly. In one type of electrode assembly used for cutting, the distal ends of the leads are connected together in a wire loop. The wire loop is orthogonal to the axial direction of the electrosurgical resectoscope.
The resectoscope handle includes a connection for a cable that connects to an electrosurgical generator to receive power therefrom. The electrode assembly fits into a connection in the resectoscope handle to receive power from the generator. The electrosurgical generator provides electrical energy at power levels that are controllable by the physician.
Electrosurgical resectoscopes can be used for cutting, coagulating, or ablating. As mentioned above, in one type of electrode assembly for a conventional electrosurgical resectoscope, the wires at a distal end of the electrode assembly form a loop. The loop is used for cutting tissue under observation with the telescope. Other types of electrode assembly tips have been designed for use with electrosurgical resectoscopes. For example, one type of tip is formed of a solid sphere and another type of tip has a rotating barrel.
Conventional electrosurgical resectoscopes have numerous advantages. For example, conventional electrosurgical resectoscopes are relatively easy and economical to use compared to other types of surgical instruments, such as laser-based surgical tools. However, there are several aspects of conventional electrosurgical resectoscopes that limit their usefulness. For example, electrode assemblies are not relatively versatile. With a conventional electrosurgical resectoscope, if the physician desires to perform different types of procedures, such as cutting a tissue to obtain a sample and then ablating the area, the physician generally has to withdraw the electrosurgical resectoscope to replace the electrode assembly with another electrode assembly that has a different type of tip. Another disadvantage is that the electrode assembly tip can become clogged with tissue during use, thereby requiring the physician to remove the entire electrosurgical resectoscope to clean the tip of the electrode assembly.
Accordingly, there is a need for an improved electrosurgical resectoscope electrode assembly.
To achieve the foregoing and other objectives and in accordance with the purposes of the present invention, there is provided an improved method and means for an electrode assembly for an electrosurgical resectoscope. The electrode assembly includes at least one electrical lead that connects at a proximal end via a handle of the electrosurgical resectoscope to an electrosurgical generator to receive electrical power therefrom. The electrode assembly further includes an electrode tip at a distal end. The electrode tip has a non-rotating, relatively flat, working surface that extends in a longitudinal direction. The electrode tip can be used for ablation or coagulation by using the working surface. The electrode tip includes an edge that can be used for cutting. The working surface includes a pattern that enhances generation of a current therefrom. The electrode tip is versatile so that the same tip can be used for cutting, vaporizing, ablating, and coagulating.

FIG. 10 is a view similar to FIG. 5 showing still another alternate embodiment of a tip for an electrosurgical resectoscope electrode assembly.
FIG. 1 shows an electrode assembly 10 for an electrosurgical resectoscope. The electrode assembly 10 includes a proximal portion 14 and a distal portion 16. The proximal portion 14 includes a conductor 20 surrounded by an insulative plastic covering 24. The conductor 20 and covering 24 are enclosed by a rigid shaft 26. A proximal end 28 of the conductor 20 extends from the proximal end of the insulative covering 24 to form a connector pin which can be received in a jack on a conventional electrosurgical resectoscope handle (not shown). A proximal end of the insulative covering 24 extends from the proximal end of the rigid shaft 26.
The distal portion 16 of the electrode assembly 10 includes at least one, but preferably a pair of leads 32 and 34. Each of the leads includes an elongate conductor covered by an insulative covering. The proximal ends of the distal leads are connected electrically together to a distal end of the proximal conductor 20. The distal leads 32 and 34 diverge from each other distally of their proximal connection to the proximal conductor and extend parallel to each other to a distal end of the distal portion 16 of the electrode assembly 10. Located at the connection between the distal portion 16 and the proximal portion 14 is an elongate channel 36. The channel 36 is sized to receive the telescope portion (not shown) of the resectoscope as in a conventional resectoscope. The channel 36 is aligned to direct a resectoscope telescope between the parallel leads 32 and 34. At a distal end of the distal portion 16, the parallel leads angle downward to permit a telescope to extend distally past the distal end of the electrode assembly. The components of the electrode assembly described in detail so far may be manufactured according to conventional techniques using conventional materials.
The distal ends of the leads 32 and 34 both connect to a tip 40. The tip 40 is formed of an electrically conductive material so that the leads are connected together both mechanically and electrically. In this embodiment, the tip 40 is formed of a conductive block 42 having a wedge- or chip-like shape. The tip may be made of any suitable conductive material such as a nickel-silver alloy, stainless steel, or titanium.
Referring to FIGS. 2-7, the block 42 includes a working surface 44, a distal edge 46, a proximal edge 48, side edges 50 and 52, and an inner surface 54. As shown in FIG. 2, the working surface 44 is oriented in a direction away from the leads 32 and 34. The distal edge 46 of the tip 40 is located toward and faces the distal end of the electrode assembly 10 (FIG. 3). The proximal edge 48 is located opposite the distal edge 46 and faces toward the proximal end of the electrode assembly 10. The side edges 50 and 52 are located along horizontal or circumferential edges of the tip 40 (FIGS. 4-6). The inner surface 54 of the tip 40 is opposite the working surface 44 and oriented in a direction toward the leads 32 and 34 (FIGS. 3 and 7).
Referring to FIGS. 2 and 4, the working surface 44 is four-sided and has a trapezoidal shape. The working surface 44 extends a length, 1, in a longitudinal (or axial) direction. In the embodiment shown, the length, 1, of the working surface 44 is approximately 5 mm. The distal edge 46 has a width, w1, of approximately 5 mm and the proximal edge 48 has a width, w2, of approximately 4 mm.
As shown in FIG. 3, the working surface 44 is relatively straight in the longitudinal direction. As shown in FIG. 5, the working surface 44 preferably has a slight convex curvature in a horizontal (or circumferential) direction. This slight horizontal curvature of proximal edge 48 is provided so that the horizontal profile of the working surface 44 conforms generally to the shape of a conventional electrosurgical resectoscope sheath (not shown) through which the electrode assembly is introduced into the patient's body cavity. In a preferred embodiment, electrode assemblies may be provided in different sizes each having different working surface curvatures to accommodate different sizes of resectoscope sheaths.
As shown in FIG. 3, the tip 40 preferably has a wedge-like shape so that it is thicker at the distal edge 46 and thinner at the proximal edge 48. In one present embodiment, the tip is approximately 1.5 mm in thickness at the distal edge 46 and approximately 0.5 mm in thickness at the proximal edge 48. The distal edge 46 is relatively blunt and forms a surface that is relatively orthogonal to the working surface 44. The proximal edge 48 is slightly angled relative to the working surface forming a contoured surface.
As mentioned above, the leads 32 and 34 connect to the inner surface 54 of the tip 40. Specifically, the leads 32 and 34 connect to the inner surface close to the corners at which the side edges 50 and 52 meet the distal edge 46. This provides for current delivered to the tip 40 via the leads to flow relatively uniformly across the working surface 44. The leads 32 and 34 may be connected to the tip by any suitable means, such as soldering, welding, etc. The connection between the leads and the tip 40 is relatively rigid.
In a preferred embodiment, the working surface 44 of the tip 40 has a pattern 58 thereon. In the present embodiment, the pattern includes a plurality of grooves 60 or other surface configurations. These grooves 60 enhance the dissipation of current from the tip into the patient's tissue. The grooves 60 increase the surface area of the working surface 44. This is believed to cause a crowding of the current as it leaves the working surface and enters the patient's tissue. In a present embodiment, the working surface has a plurality or series of approximately six grooves and each groove is approximately 1 mm in width and 0.5 mm deep. The grooves 60 are evenly spaced and extend in the longitudinal direction from the distal edge 46 to the proximal edge 48.
The inner surface 54 is relatively smooth. In a present embodiment, it is preferred that the inner surface 54 have a concave contour that is similar to the contour of the working surface opposite thereto. The contour of the inner surface 54 provides for the tip having a relatively uniform thickness laterally and minimizes the mass of the tip.
The present embodiment of the electrode assembly is versatile and can be used by a physician for cutting, ablating, vaporizing, or coagulating. For example, to cut tissue, the physician assembles the resectoscope in a conventional manner and obtains access to the surgical site. The physician then advances the tip 40 around and distally past the tissue to be cut. Next, the physician sets the electrosurgical generator to a "cut" mode. Then, the physician brings the proximal edge 48 of the tip 40 into contact with the tissue to be cut and moves the electrode assembly in a proximal direction until the tissue is cut all the way through. The cut tissue may then be removed in a conventional way, such as by irrigating and flushing the area and in this manner a sample of tissue may be acquired.
The present embodiment of the electrode assembly can also be used for ablating or vaporizing. To use the present embodiment for ablating, the same electrode assembly can be used as described above. The physician adjusts the electrosurgical generator to a suitable power level. For example, the generator may be set to the "cut" mode with the power adjusted higher than 120 watts. A power setting as high as 260 watts may be used, although suitable ablating may be obtained at lower power levels. The physician then brings the working surface 44 of the tip 40 into contact with the area to be ablated. The working surface may be moved in any direction across the area to ablate the tissue in the area, as desired.
The present embodiment can also be used for coagulation. To coagulate an area, the physician sets the generator to the appropriate mode, such as the "coag" mode. The power level in this mode is relatively lower than in the "cut" mode. The physician brings the working surface 44 into contact with the area to be coagulated.
The electrode assembly as described above enables a physician to perform a variety of procedures with the same electrode assembly thereby obviating the need to withdraw the resectoscope to change the electrode tip. Thus, the present embodiment of the electrode assembly facilitates efficiency and may reduce the cost by eliminating the need to use a variety of electrode assemblies.
The present embodiment of the electrode assembly provides additional features. As mentioned above, in a present embodiment, the working surface 44 has pattern, such as grooves 60, which enhance current-crowding. During cutting, ablating, or coagulation procedures, it is possible that tissue may adhere to the tip. In the present embodiment, the working surface 44 has grooves that could become clogged by tissue during the procedure. The grooves 60 may be cleared by moving the working surface in a longitudinal direction across another surface. This other surface may be an end of the resectoscope shaft or even a portion of tissue in the patient. This clearing procedure may be done without removing the electrode assembly from the patient and may be done without applying power to the tip.
Alternative embodiments of the working surface 44 of the tip 40 are shown in FIGS. 8-10. In FIG. 8, the working surface 44 includes a groove pattern 66 that has longitudinal grooves 68 and laterally-extending grooves 70. This groove pattern 66 increases the surface area of the working surface 44 and may enhance the current crowding effect. FIG. 9 shows another embodiment of a groove pattern 74 for the working surface 44. In FIG. 9, the groove pattern 74 includes a first group 76 of parallel grooves that run diagonally across the working surface 44 and a second group 78 of parallel grooves that also run diagonally across the working surface 44. The first and second groups of grooves intersect each other, as shown. FIG. 10 shows another pattern 80 for the working surface 44. In FIG. 10, the working surface 44 includes a plurality of cavities 82. These cavities 82 increase the surface area of the working surface 44 to provide the current crowding effect. In addition to these patterns, the working surface may include other types of patterns, such as contours, irregularities, textures, or other types of non-smooth features, or may have other structure that enhances the distribution of current therefrom.
It is intended that the foregoing detailed description be regarded as illustrative rather than limiting and that it is understood that the following claims including all equivalents are intended to define the scope of the invention.

Donovan was looking for a challenge
Published: Friday, June 1, 2007 at 12:33 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 1, 2007 at 12:33 p.m.
ORLANDO -- Citing the need for a new challenge, Florida coach Billy Donovan was officially introduced at Orlando Magic head coach Friday.
Donovan also announced that he's bringing Florida assistant Larry Shyatt with him to join his staff.
Donovan, 42, said he was first contacted by Magic General Manager Otis Smith over the weekend and weighed the difficult decision between staying at Florida or jumping to the NBA.
"It was difficult because I spent 11 great years at Florida," Donovan said. "The easy decision for me would have been to stay at Florida, or I could take the next step and challenge myself as a person and a coach. I've always been intrigued by the NBA because it's 24 hours of basketball. It was a tough decision, but I'm excited about the opportunity."
Donovan accepted a five-year, $27.5 million offer to coach the Magic.
"We started this process looking for a winner, looking for someone who will bring excitement and energy to our young team," Smith said. "We feel like Billy will bring those things to the Magic."
Donovan has won consecutive national titles and reached three Final Fours in 11 seasons at Florida.
