1 Titanium Foam Implant
2 The Innovator 2 Move Implants is a Research & Development company which focuses on creating innovating products, not only to improve a product, but also the way of doing business. To do this, we work with several partners such as universities and medical centres. 2 Move Implants developed a new technology, to use porous titanium to imitate bone in order to initiate bone ingrowth with hip implants. With this technology, 2 Move Implants plays into current trends of an aging population and obesity plus improving current implant standards.
3 If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got. (Albert Einstein) A traditional hip implant has an average lifespan of 10 to 15 years. After this it needs to be replaced, and because of the wear, a second implant is expected to have an even shorter lifespan. Also when using a traditional hip implant there is a chance it will not fully connect with the bone surface. Because of this osteoporosis can occur.
4 Innovations for the future 2 Move Implants porous foam promotes bone ingrowth with an open pore structure of 350 microns, comparable to natural bone, with struts of 120 microns. It is much a more even, repetitive structure then natural bone, but has all the right properties and porosity to initiate bone ingrowth. Strut Pore Our porous titanium hip implant outperforms current porous implants due to the foam structure and its close resemblance to natural bone. This gives a faster rate of acceptance by the natural bone.
5 Validation of experiments It is proven that the titanium foam material is capable of providing direct biomechanical support and function as an osteoconductive matrix for bone regeneration. Titanium 120 Titanium 230 Rat Bone Published as: Selective laser melting-produced porous titanium scaffolds regenerate bone in critical size cortical bone defects Van der Stok J, Van der Jagt OP, Amir Yavari S, De Haas MFP, Waarsing JH, Jahr H, Van Lieshout EMM, Patka P, Verhaar JAN, Zadpoor AA, Weinans H. Published in: Journal Orthopaedic Research In press Trials with rat femurs have shown a significant potential for the structure of bone ingrowth. Scans are shown below. Rat critical defect model 0 weeks 12 weeks 0 weeks 4 weeks 8 weeks 12 weeks
6 Breakthroughs on Nano level The implant undergoes a surface treatment to break surface tension and promotes faster and better bone ingrowth. Chemical surface modifications are supposed to increase the bioactivity and bone ingrowth inducing capability of porous titanium. The surface of the treated samples is covered by Nano pore shaped features that are hypothesized to improve cell attachment and response.
7 Creating new knowledge After 3 weeks there are clear signs of bone growth and after 12 weeks it is clear that the bone has accepted the porous titanium foam with a bone ingrowth of 30%. These results have been achieved without any additional bio agents. The concept of 2 Move Implants is able to achieve 0% to 95% porosity from beginning to end, creating a seamless transfer of the porosity with no risk of detachment or delamination.
8 Flexibility is key This new technology surpasses the current porous implants because of its foam structure. But it doesn t limit itself with only hip implants. Applications for 2 Move Implants Titanium Hip Implant are, but not limit themselves to, Hip, Cranium, Spine and Teeth. With these applications you are engaging the Orthopaedic market, Trauma Market and Spine Market. The combined value of these markets was 18.9 billion USD globally in Flexible Titanium Foam Cranium Trauma applications is a unique concept which allows the implant to take the shape of the skull and allows bone to grow and seal the wound. Cranium and Spine applications are still in their infancy, but have proven to be interesting for further research.
9 To summarise Superior titanium foam structure. Unique in the market. Proactively engage on trends such as aging population and obesity. Fast bone ingrowth. 30% bone ingrowth was achieved within 12 weeks without any bio agents. Various applications including Orthopaedic, Trauma and Spine. Longer more natural fixation making it very attractive to younger patients. One seamless product to prevent delamination. Latest News: 2Move-Implants will engage in clinical trials in Belgium in the near future. Contact 2 Move Implants B.V. Tel: Made Possible By:

Everyone Will Feel Pinched By A Grinch On The Loose - Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar
Everyone will feel pinched.
By a grinch on the loose.
This festive holiday season...
Has a sputtering train on the tracks.
With barely an engine!
And no caboose.
No champagne to sip.
Or horse radish with bacon dip.
Don't light up that Christmas Tree...
Unless you have gas,
Instead of electricity to heat.
Take the turkey out of the freezer,
With other leftovers from Thanksgiving Day.
Share this with your neighbors.
The ones still living near...
And haven't moved away.
Buy a box of crayons...
And color some brown paper bags!
Find something you will not have to offer,
To sell at a tag sale.
Like a teapot.
And not a sofa you have to drag.
Wrapped 'whatever' it is and tape it.
Take pictures of this!
Since this Christmas just may be...
The best one you've had!
Maybe not one you'll wish to reminisce.
'Be glad for what you've got!
You kids think money...grows on trees.'
My mom use to say.
And I began to pray,
For that to happen one day.
But today,
This is the reality...
The thought of eating fresh picked leaves,
May not be too far away!

Survival based on presence or absence of positive histologic margins (P = .9).
Overall survival among 77 patients evaluated.
Survival curves categorized by type of surgical resection (P<.001).
Blom D, Schwartz SI. Surgical Treatment and Outcomes in Carcinoma of the Extrahepatic Bile DuctsThe University of Rochester Experience. Arch Surg. 2001;136(2):209-214. doi:10.1001/archsurg.136.2.209

To our knowledge, few individual surgeons and only a handful of institutions have gained a meaningful experience with the treatment of adenocarcinoma of the extrahepatic bile ducts or cholangiocarcinoma. The purpose of this study was to critically evaluate the experience of a single center in the treatment of these tumors.
Retrospective cohort study with a median follow-up of 48 months.
Department of surgery at a university referral center.
Seventy-seven patients with biopsy-confirmed adenocarcinoma of the extrahepatic bile ducts evaluated and treated between January 1980 and February 1998.
Main Outcome Measures
Prognostic variables, resectability rates, morbidity, and survival.
Thirty-eight male and 39 female patients were studied (median age, 71 years). Twenty-three patients (30%) underwent curative resections, 32 patients (41%) underwent palliative surgery, and 22 patients (29%) received nonoperative therapies. The 30-day perioperative morbidity rate was 18%, and mortality was 6%. Overall median survival was 11 months; 4 months for patients receiving nonoperative therapy; 8 months for patients recieving palliative surgery; and 72 months for curative resection. Five-year survival rates were 23%, 0%, 10%, and 55%, respectively. Curative resection was the only prognostic variable to have a statistically significant effect on survival.
Curative resection could be achieved in approximately one third of patients who had cholangiocarcinoma, and should be the goal of treatment. Survival is significantly improved in those patients who are considered to have resectable tumors and who undergo removal of all gross disease. Palliative surgical treatments also revealed a survival advantage over nonoperative therapies.
ADENOCARCINOMA OF the extrahepatic bile ducts, or cholangiocarcinoma, is a rare malignant neoplasm. In the United States, it is estimated that extrahepatic biliary cancers will represent less than 1% of all new cancers and less than 3% of gastrointestinal cancers in the year 2000. During the same period, approximately 50% of these patients will die of their disease.1 Because of this, few individual surgeons and only a handful of institutions have gained significant experience with these tumors.
Often referred to as Klatskin tumors, after the internist Gerald Klatskin who described 13 cases of sclerosing adenocarcinoma localized to the hepatic duct bifurcation in 1965,2 the first resection of a primary cancer of the hepatic duct bifurcation was reported by Brown and Myers3 in 1954, and in 1957, Altmeier et al4 described proximal bile duct neoplasia as a cause of jaundice.
The precise cause of these tumors remains unknown. Cholangiocarcinoma is uncommon in patients younger than 40 years, with most tumors occurring in patients aged between 50 and 70 years. When discovered, they tend to be small, exhibit a slow rate of growth, and rarely metastasize.5 Reported resectability rates, however, vary widely in the literature (10%-90% resectability).6- 15 Local invasion and proximity of vital structures within the porta hepatis contribute to the difficulty in achieving complete tumor clearance, and local recurrence is common. For these reasons, cholangiocarcinoma continues to represent a therapeutic dilemma and technical challenge to the surgeon, leading many to adopt a nihilistic approach to the treatment of these tumors.16- 19
The purpose of this study was to critically evaluate the experience of a single tertiary referral center in the treatment of adenocarcinoma of the extrahepatic bile ducts and to determine the prognostic factors, the rate of tumor resectability, morbidity rates, and survival for these patients.
Medical records of all patients evaluated and treated for adenocarcinoma of the extrahepatic bile ducts at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry (Strong Memorial Hospital, Department of Surgery, Rochester, NY) between January 1980 and February 1998 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients without pathologic confirmation of the diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the extrahepatic bile ducts, or with a diagnosis of carcinoma of the Vater ampulla, carcinoma of the gallbladder, or primary adenocarcinoma of the intrahepatic bile ducts were excluded from this study.
Admission notes, consultations, laboratory reports, radiologic imaging reports, operative reports, and pathology reports, as well as discharge summaries and follow-up records were reviewed. Variables measured at admission included patient demographics, the symptoms of pain and pruritus, jaundice, weight loss, presence of cholangitis, total serum bilirubin (mg/dL), and alkaline phosphatase (U/L). Preoperative diagnostic modalities, tumor location, and type of operation were recorded. Tumor location was categorized into upper, middle, and lower tumors based on the system of Longmire et al.20 The main outcome measures were tumor resectability, the development of complications, and survival. Perioperative morbidity and mortality were defined as any complication or death occurring within 30 days of operation.
Patients were grouped into 1 of 3 categories: tumor unresectable for cure, nonoperative intervention (group 1); tumor unresectable for cure, palliative surgical procedure performed (group 2); and tumor potentially resectable for cure (group 3). A potentially curative procedure was defined by the ability to remove all tumor with negative surgical margins at the initial operation. Palliative procedures consisted of any operation that left residual tumor in situ.
Patient survival was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method and included all hospital deaths. Survival differences were assessed using the log-rank test. Univariate analysis was accomplished using the χ2 test for nominal data and 1-way analysis of variance for comparisons of mean values. A P value less than or equal to .05 was considered to be significant. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 7.5 (Statistical Package for Social Science; SPSS Inc, Chicago, Ill).
Seventy-seven patients with adenocarcinoma of the extrahepatic bile ducts were studied. There were 39 women and 38 men with a median age of 71 years (range, 38-89 years). Median time to follow-up was 48 months (range, 1-96 months). Patient characteristics and admission findings are listed in Table 1. No significant differences were found between study groups. Five patients (7%) underwent operative procedures without a radiologic workup that consisted of computed tomography scanning of the abdomen and/or biliary imaging using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography. Painless jaundice was the admitting complaint in 44% of patients.
The distribution of tumor locations for each of the patient groups is presented in Table 2. Forty-five percent of patients had tumors of the upper third of the extrahepatic biliary system, 38% had tumors of the middle third, 7% had tumors of the lower third, and 10% had diffuse disease. No significant differences were found in tumor location between study groups.
Tumor resectability was determined by the operating surgeon, and based on preoperative imaging studies or findings at celiotomy. Twenty-two patients (29%) were determined preoperatively to have unresectable tumors and underwent nonoperative therapies such as percutaneous transhepatic or endoscopic biliary drainage. Fifty-five patients (71%) underwent an exploratory celiotomy. Of these 55 patients, 32 (58%) had a palliative resection and/or a biliary bypass procedure after it was determined intraoperatively that a complete curative resection could not be safely performed. The remaining 23 patients (42%) underwent a potentially curative resection. In 16 patients, this consisted of the complete resection of the tumor and a Roux-en-Y biliary-enteric reconstruction; 4 patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple procedure); 2 patients required hepatic resection; and 1 patient had an orthotopic liver transplant. These 23 patients represent 30% of all patients evaluated in this study. Data on the histological margin status were available for 19 (83%) of these 23 patients. Fifteen patients (79%) underwent complete tumor resections with negative histological margins, whereas in 4 patients, there was microscopic residual disease. Interestingly, no statistically significant difference was found in the survival curves of these 2 groups (Figure 1). In 2 cases, a hepatic resection was necessary to ensure negative margins, and 1 patient with concomitant biliary cirrhosis underwent hepatic transplantation.
Perioperative morbidity occurred in 10 patients (18%). Of note, 14% (3 patients) in group 1 developed cholangitis, biliary obstruction, and intractable ascites, respectively, while hospitalized. The 30-day operative mortality was 6%, with 4 of 5 deaths occurring in patients undergoing noncurative procedures (Table 3). Overall median survival time and 5-year survival rate were 11 months and 23%, respectively (Figure 2). Group 1 patients had a median survival of 4 months, with 0% 5-year survivors. Patients in group 2 had a median survival of 8 months, and 10% survived 5 years. Patients in group 3, had a median survival of 72 months and a 5-year survival of 55%. Two patients died of recurrent disease after 5 years at 72 months and 78 months, respectively. Fourteen patients (22%) remain alive with a mean follow-up of 48 months.
Type of resection was the only independent variable found to demonstrate a significant effect on survival (Figure 3). Patient age, sex, tumor location, presence of jaundice, weight loss, abdominal pain, pruritus, cholangitis, and admission of total bilirubin or alkaline phosphatase had no statistically significant impact on median or 5-year survival (Table 4).
Adenocarcinoma of the extrahepatic bile ducts, or cholangiocarcinoma, is a rare tumor. In autopsy studies, the incidence ranges between 0.01% and 0.5%.21- 23 It is estimated that 6900 new cases of cancer of the extrahepatic bile ducts and gallbladder will be diagnosed in the United States in 2000.1 Although the exact cause remains unknown, several factors have been associated with the development of this malignant neoplasm: ulcerative colitis or primary sclerosing cholangitis, choledochal cysts, hepatolithiasis, parasitic infection, and chemical carcinogens.5 Because of its rarity, indolent growth pattern, local invasiveness, and close proximity to vital structures challenging surgical resection, definitive guidelines regarding optimal surgical treatment and cure rates have been difficult to establish. There are quite disparate opinions in the literature regarding the resectability and curability of these tumors.16- 19,24- 26 However, recently there seems to be increasing support for an aggressive surgical approach to the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma.
The current study was conducted to examine the prognostic factors and outcomes in the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma at our institution. In the patient population evaluated, the clinical presentation and the pathologic features of these tumors were similar to those of previous reports.16,26- 28 The distribution of tumor locations is also similar to those reported in several recent series.16,24,27,29 Although tumors located in the lower third enjoyed longer median survival and 5-year survival, this did not reach statistical significance. The literature is divided regarding the importance of tumor location as a prognostic variable. Several investigators have reported that tumors located in the lower third of the biliary tree have a more favorable prognosis, while others have found no differences in survival.16,24,27,28 This finding, however, may be attributable to the increased ability to remove all macroscopic disease with a pancreaticoduodenectomy compared with tumors found more distally.
Jaundice was the most common indicator, followed by weight loss and abdominal pain. The presence, absence, or degree to which these signs and symptoms were present demonstrated no significant impact on prognosis. This finding is similar to that of other large series on resections for cholangiocarcinoma, which found that only those variables that correlate to the inability to remove all macroscopic disease (ie, residual tumor or positive lymph nodes) adversely affected survival.30,31 In fact, the only variable that affected survival in the current study was the ability to completely remove all macroscopic tumor at celiotomy. This finding corresponds with and corroborates several recent studies that have shown complete resection to prolong survival.24- 26,32
The observation that margin status did not significantly impact survival can likely be explained by the small numbers of patients involved and the indolent growth pattern of these tumors.33 Pichlmayr et al32 in a large series from Germany also found that incomplete resection imparted a survival advantage, albeit less than a complete resection, and could lead to survival times greater than 5 years. This study, however, was able to accumulate 249 patients through a nationwide referral pattern. In the current series, only 4 patients who underwent a potentially curative resection had microscopically positive margins, and although survival was not found to be statistically different, all of these patients eventually succumbed to their disease. We would therefore agree with other authors that an aggressive policy of resection whenever possible in the treatment of these tumors is warranted, and that a complete resection is the best chance for cure and should be the goal of resectional therapy.25
In most of our patients, this was possible without the use of hepatic resection or transplantation; however, we have begun to more liberally use these procedures to assure negative histologic margins in those patients considered suitable candidates.
This aggressive approach is also warranted on the grounds that in the event that a complete resection cannot be performed, removal of all macroscopic disease alone imparts a significant survival advantage and would seem to be the best form of palliation. This study revealed a large survival advantage for patients undergoing a potentially curative tumor resection and a statistically significant survival advantage in patients with macroscopic disease left in situ or bypassed compared with nonoperative therapies. A review of the literature evaluating surgical vs nonsurgical palliation does not reveal a consistent survival advantage for one form of palliation over another.34- 39 However, several series have found a similar increase in survival and perhaps more importantly, an improved quality of life after surgical palliation, free from percutaneous drainage tubes, with lower rates of cholangitis and hospitalizations compared with endoscopic or percutaneous palliation. Table 540 lists a survey of the published series since 1980 demonstrating rates of tumor resection and patient mortality and survival.
In conclusion, the findings of this review support an aggressive approach to patients presenting with adenocarcinoma of the extrahepatic bile ducts. In those patients considered suitable candidates, all efforts should be made to completely resect the tumor with negative histologic margins. If this is not possible, complete resection of all macroscopic disease seems to improve survival and provide optimal palliation of jaundice and its sequelae. Even patients in whom residual tumor must be left behind or on whom a surgical bypass must be performed experience a statistically significant increase in survival over nonoperative therapies. This surgical approach can be conducted with low perioperative morbidity rates and mortalities.

Try new things. Be nice. Wear sunscreen. Update: I have read some Peter Singer stuff and really connect with his logic.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfed in Europe in mid '08. Hosted in 2009. Surfed a lil bit in 2010...
I had 4 lonely days with nothing to do in a small town in Spain. I turned to couchsurfing simply asking for friends and in 12 hours I had friends.. Couldn't ask for more! Stayed with many other fantastic people. Always blown away by the immediate trust that hosts had in me, and really want to give other people that feeling.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
In 2010 I went on a bicycle trip with a friend. We camped along the way, and didn't have riding clothes, so for most of it looked disheveled and homeless. In Charlotte, a man was walking around begging.. he asked me for money and when I said I didn't have enough to give him any, he looked up and saw what state my clothes and face were in, looked a bit shocked and then tried to hand ME $5. I said I didn't need HIS money, but just couldn't spare my own. He then insisted, saying he made over $100 a day doing what he did. A 2nd homeless person saw this happen and offered to take the gift that I turned down. The beggar was not so willing to give it to him though. A conversation ensued between the 3 of us over who should get the money.
Teach, Learn, Share
This is pretty specific.. but if you are considering learning a new language, send me a message with your email address and I will send you 1000 words of advice based on what I have learnt in my attempts at it, and hopefully save you some time.
EDIT: Quicker...Go here instead: http://www.effectivelanguagelearning.com/language-learning-tips
What I CAN teach you if we meet is some basic but useful Spanish in a fast and easy way.

Reader: I'm From New Mexico, and You Couldn't Pay Me to Eat Denver's Green Chile
Green chile from El Taco de Mexico — not New Mexico.
Mark Antonation
As we noted here yesterday, the response to our list of the Ten Best Green Chiles in Denver has been fast and furious — mostly furious. Too much yuppie bullshit, and no Chubby's? And then there's the really hot debate over New Mexico verde versus Colorado green chile. Can you even get the real stuff here in Denver? Not according to Quin:
Best green chile in Denver? It's easy, hop on I-25, drive south a little ways until you reach New Mexico.
Adds Colin:
Stuff brought up from New Mexico is the best chile in Denver.
Says Terrah:
There is no better than New Mexico Hatch green chile. What you have here is bland tomato soup with pork in it.
Adds Brandon:
I drive home to Albuquerque and get mine there. Everything here is FAR too mild and mixed with Tomatillo.... why would you drown out that beautiful hatch flavor with garbage tomatillo's. But thats the difference between Denver and where the good stuff is back in NM.
And here's Colleen:
I moved up here from Albuquerque. The chile, both red and green, in CO is terrible.
Concludes Ethan:
I'm from New Mexico and these green chiles all look gross. You couldn't pay me to eat that stuff. Get it together, Denver!
How do you think New Mexico's green chile compares to the green chile you find in Denver? What green chile do you crave? Which state wins the battle of the bowls?

Preseason poll. 2006 record in parentheses. Outlook by USA TODAY's Andy Gardiner. (Next poll: March 6).
1. Rice (57-13)
Points: 756 (22 first-place votes). Previous ranking (PR): 3. Outlook: Veteran pitching and seven returning starters in the field give coach Wayne Graham a group even more talented than last year's team that was third at the College World Series. All-Americans Cole St. Clair (7-2, 1.82 ERA, 11 saves) and RHP-1B Joe Savery (5-1, 2.76, .335, team-best 66 RBI) head the staff. LHP Bobby Bramhall (2.36 ERA, 26 appearances) leads the bullpen. Opens: Feb. 3 vs. Central Missouri State.
2. Clemson (53-16)
Points: 656 (4). PR: 5. Outlook: Despite losing all three weekend starting pitchers, their top hitter and C Adrian Casanova, the Tigers are a strong bet to return to Omaha. 1B Andy D'Alessio (.312, 23 HRs, 85 RBI) and 2B Taylor Harbin (.319) are linchpins. Three-year starting CF Brad Chalk (.353, 18 SBs, .467 OBP) had 21 sacrifice bunts in 2006. RHP P.J. Zocchi (6-0, 2.81 ERA) is the best returner on the mound. Opens: Feb. 16 vs. George Mason.
3. Miami (Fla.) (42-24)
Points: 632. PR: 6. Outlook: The Hurricanes, fifth at last year's CWS, have the talent for a 23rd trip to Omaha. Leading the way should be LHP Scott Maine (12-3, 4.57 ERA). LHPs Manny Miguelez (8-4, 4.31) and Carlos Gutierrez (9-7, 4.40) are back as second and third starters. 2B Jemile Weeks (.352, .555 slugging) and 3B Yonder Alonso (.295, team-best 69 RBI and 10 HRs) are proven infield talents. Opens: Feb. 2 vs. Mercer.
4. South Carolina (41-25)
Points: 631. PR: 17. Outlook: The Gamecocks' three-year CWS run ended last spring, but they could be back with a veteran team bolstered by one of the USA's top recruiting classes. RHP Harris Honeycutt (7-0, 3.33 ERA) and LHP Arik Hempy (2-1, 2.65) top the staff. Wynn Pelzer (5-5, five saves) is the closer. 1B Justin Smoak (.303 BA, 17 HRs, 63 RBI) and utility man Andrew Crisp (.328) were freshman All-Americans. Opens: Feb. 9 vs. Oklahoma at Wilmington, N.C.
5. North Carolina (54-15)
Points: 619. PR: 2. Outlook: The Tar Heels set a school record for wins and lost in the CWS final last year but could be stronger, even without first-round picks P Andrew Miller and P Daniel Bard and ERA leader Jonathan Hovis. Five players return who had at least 44 RBI, led by 1B-3B Chad Flack (.384, 13 HRs, 68 RBI) and SS Josh Horton (ACC-leading .395, 59 RBI). The ace will be RHP Robert Woodard (7-1 last year, 23-3 career). Opens: Feb. 16 vs. Seton Hall.
6. Texas (41-21)
Points: 602 (1). PR: 12. Outlook: The Longhorns' defense of their 2005 title (and four consecutive CWS appearances) ended in a stunning home exit in the regionals. Coach Augie Garrido should erase that memory with a team that returns six starters in the field and six pitchers. RHPs Adrian Alaniz (7-4, 4.18 ERA, three saves) and Randy Boone (4-2, 3.59, two saves) will battle for the top mound spot. The lineup has more speed than power with CF Nick Peoples (.289, 19 SBs) and RF Kyle Russell (.276, eight SBs, 10 HRs). Opens: Feb. 2 vs. San Diego at Round Rock, Texas.
7. Arkansas (39-21)
Points: 537. PR: 22. Outlook: After hosting and losing an NCAA regional last spring, the Razorbacks have something to prove. LHP Nick Schmidt (9-3, 3.01 ERA, 145 Ks in 117 IP) was Southeastern Conference pitcher of the year and played for the U.S. national team last summer. RHP Shaun Seibert (4-0, 2.79) will be the No. 2 starter after being co-pitcher of year in the Cape Cod League. 3B-1B Danny Hamblin (.289, 17 HRs, 68 RBI) and OF Jake Dugger (.317, .553 slugging) are offensive catalysts. Opens: Feb. 2 at Louisiana Tech.
8. Cal State-Fullerton (50-15)
Points: 515. PR: 4. Outlook: The Titans no longer have Ps Lauren Gagnier and Dustin Miller (combined 26-6) but could have the USA's top hurler in RHP Wes Roemer (13-2, 2.38 ERA, 145 Ks, only seven BBs). Fullerton must replace its closer and setup man and lost five all-conference field players who were also their top five hitters. New leaders could be 3B Evan McArthur (.303) and C John Curtis (.277, second-team all-Big West). Opens: Feb. 2 vs. No. 25 Stanford.
9. Virginia (47-15)
Points: 459. PR: 14. Outlook: UVA is eager to atone for last year's NCAA stumble at home and has the talent to erase that memory with eight position starters and eight pitchers back. Mound aces will be LHP Sean Doolittle (11-2, 2.38 ERA, 108 Ks, 91 IP) and RHP Jacob Thompson (10-4, 2.60 in 16 appearances). Seniors Brandon Marsh (.380, 14 SBs), Brandon Guyer (.336, 57 RBI) and Tim Henry (.318) give Virginia three experienced outfielders. Opens: Feb. 9 vs. Elon in Springmaid Beach Resort Tournament at Conway, S.C.
10. Vanderbilt (38-27)
Points: 457. PR: not ranked. Outlook: The lineup, led by national team players LHP David Price and 3B Pedro Alvarez, could lead the Commodores to their first College World Series. Price (9-5, 155 Ks, 110 IP) was 5-1 with a 0.20 ERA this summer with USA Baseball. Alvarez (.329, 22 HRs, 64 RBI) led the national team with .382 BA and 40 RBI. RHP Ty Davis (5-5, 3.91 ERA) and LHP Cody Crowell (6-3, 3.95) line up behind Price in the rotation. Opens: Feb. 9 vs. No. 1 Rice in Houston Astros College Classic.
11. Georgia Tech (50-18)
Points: 427. PR: 7. Outlook: If coach Danny Hall is going to take the Yellow Jackets to a third CWS appearance in six years, he will have to plug major gaps in the rotation and lineup. Georgia Tech lost two aces and will build around LHPs David Duncan (7-5, 5.50 ERA in 14 starts) and Ryan Turner (4-4, 5.55) with Matt Wieters (1-3, 3.41, seven saves) back as the closer. Wieters (.355, 15 HRs, 71 RBI) is also the starting catcher. Opens: Feb. 10 at Georgia Southern.
12. Nebraska (42-17)
Points: 397. PR: 18. Outlook: With six position starters and 12 pitchers back from a team that reached the 2006 super regionals, Nebraska is positioned to make the short trip to Omaha for the fourth time in seven years. Leading the staff is LHP Tony Watson (10-2, 2.78 ERA, 100 IP), backed by RHPs Johnny Dorn (9-4, 3.89) and Charlie Shirek (4-2, 3.23 in 18 appearances). SS Ryan Wehrle (.367, 22 2Bs, 48 RBI) and 3B Jake Opitz (.293) key the offense. Opens: Feb. 16 vs. New Mexico at Arlington, Texas.
13. Wichita State (46-22)
Points: 339. PR: not ranked. Outlook: The Shockers are poised to make a 25th NCAA tournament run with a staff that returns all three weekend starters and 89% of the team's wins. RHPs Aaron Shafer (11-3, 2.63 ERA), Travis Banwart (9-4, 3.87) and Rob Musgrave (6-3, 4.11) form a deep rotation with Damon Sublett (0.00 ERA with 16 saves in two seasons) closing. Four infield starters return. Opens: Feb. 16 at No. 20 Pepperdine.
14. Arizona State (37-21)
Points: 338. PR: 23. Outlook: Sun Devils' quest to match their third-place finish in the 2005 CWS begins with All-America 3B Eric Sogard (.353, .515 slugging), one of eight returning field starters. 1B Brett Wallace (.371, .583 SP) and C Petey Paramore (.317, .995 fielding) give ASU interior power. Ike Davis (.329, .542 SP) leads an experienced outfield. Opens: Feb. 2 vs. Southern Utah.
15. Oregon State (50-16)
Points: 326 (4). PR: 1. Outlook: After losing Ps Jonah Nickerson and Dallas Buck (combined 26-7) and closer Kevin Gunderson (20 saves), the Beavers will be hard-pressed to defend their title. The challenge starts with RHPs Eddie Kunz (5-1, 3.61 ERA) and Mike Stutes (8-2, 3.10). SS Darwin Barney (.330, 16 SB) was chosen for the national team while C Mitch Canham (.299 BA, 54 RBI) threw out 50% of would-be base stealers. Opened: Thursday at Hawaii-Hilo.
16. Tulane (43-21)
Points: 304. PR: not ranked. Outlook: The Green Wave will move into new Turchin Stadium in the spring with six returning starters and two of their top pitchers. Conference USA freshman of the year Warren McFadden is the only returning starting outfielder and led the team in hitting (.382) and had 24 doubles and 50 RBI. 2B Brad Emaus (45 RBI, six HRs) and SS Cat Everett (.419 OBP) are solid in the middle infield. Opens: Feb. 9 vs. Southeastern Louisiana.
17. Florida State (44-21)
Points: 260. PR: 20. Outlook: The Seminoles haven't reached Omaha since 2000 and didn't advance to the super regionals last year for first time since format began in 1999. But coach Mike Martin returns seven starters in the field, led by 1B Dennis Guinn (.335, 12 HRs, 69 RBI) and seven pitchers topped by RH Bryan Henry (9-4, 2.88 ERA). Freshman All-American Buster Posey (.346, 48 RBI) shifts from shortstop to catcher and also could pitch in relief. Opens: Feb. 2 vs. No. 19 Tennessee.
18. Mississippi (44-22)
Points: 219. PR: 10. Outlook: Loss to Miami at home in last year's super regionals cost the Rebels their first trip to Omaha in more than 30 years, but an experienced pitching staff could change that. RHP Cody Satterwhite (11-2, 5.00 ERA), battling a sore arm, will be the closer. RHP Will Kline (5-2) could be the ace. RHPs Lance Lynn (7-3, 4.96) and Brett Bukvich project as weekend starters. SS Zack Cozart (.338, 10 HRs, 64 RBI) and 2B Justin Henry (.332, 30 RBI) are the heart of offense. Opens: Feb. 10 vs. New Orleans.
19. Tennessee (31-24)
Points: 214. PR: not ranked. Outlook: The Vols should rebound after reaching CWS in 2005, then not making NCAA field in '06. They will follow the lead of major league prospect C J.P. Arencibia (.352 BA, 11 HRs, 52 RBI). CF Julio Borbon (.366, 30 RBI, 19 SB) is out eight to 10 weeks with a broken left ankle. LHP James Adkins (8-6 in 2006, career 18-11 with 247 Ks) will anchor the rotation with RHP Craig Cobb (9-3, 3.31 ERA) No. 2. Opens: Feb. 2 at No. 17 Florida State.
20. Pepperdine (42-21)
Points: 182. PR: 25. Outlook: The Waves have qualified for the NCAAs six of the last eight seasons but never reached a super regional. That could change behind RHP Barry Enright (13-2, 124 IP, 23-3 career record), the West Coast Conference co-pitcher of year in 2006. RHP Brett Hunter (5-2, 2.83, 11 saves) is an all-conference closer. SS Danny Worth (.309, 37 RBI), CF Adrian Ortiz (.340, 10 SBs) and 3B Chase d'Arnaud (.282, freshman All-American) headline seven returning field starters. Opens: Feb. 2 at UNLV.
Points: 172. PR: not ranked. Outlook: The Bruins' strength is in the infield with SS Brandon Crawford (.318 BA) and 3B Jermaine Curtis (.325) now bolstered by UC-Santa Barbara transfer 2B Alden Carrithers (.465 OBP with Gauchos). C Ryan Babineau (.258 BA) was first-team all conference in 2006, while Blair Dunlap (.300 BA) takes over in center field after starting 20 games in left last year. Brant Rustich will be the closer if he is recovered from a finger injury that sidelined him last season. Opens: Feb. 2 vs. Winthrop.
Points: 169. PR: not ranked. Outlook: Three consecutive early exits from the NCAAs have left the veteran Horned Frogs hungry. Leading the charge will be RHP Jake Arrieta (14-4, 2.35 ERA, 111 Ks in 111 IP). Sam Demel (6-6, six saves) will work exclusively in relief this season. Opens: Feb. 9 at Central Florida.
23. Oklahoma State (41-20)
Points: 154. PR: not ranked. Outlook: After exiting in NCAA regionals a year ago, the Cowboys will look to reigning co-conference player of the year Tyler Mach and a young pitching staff to make a deeper run in 2007. 2B Mach (.364, 16 HRs, 66 RBI) played 3B last year and is one of six returning position starters. N.C. State transfer Matt Mangini (.343, 7, 60) will be at third base. RHP Matt Gardner (7-3, 4.43 ERA in 18 appearances) leads the staff. Opens: Feb. 2 vs. Hofstra.
24. Baylor (37-26)
Points: 105. PR: not ranked. Outlook: After reaching Omaha in 2005, the Bears were bounced by Rice in last year's regionals and must contend this season with the loss of their top two hitters and pitchers. Headlining a heavily RH staff is Randall Linebaugh (6-1, 3.42 ERA), followed by Tim Matthews (2-1, 2.08). Nick Cassavechia (3-4, 3.03, eight saves) returns as closer. Baylor does not return a .300 hitter but does have SS Beamer Weems (.297, eight HRs, 47 RBI, 27 extra-base hits). Opens: Feb. 9 vs. Houston at Minute Maid Park.
25. Stanford (33-27)
Points: 95. PR: 16. Outlook: The Cardinal fell short of Omaha for the third year in a row after five consecutive trips. Ending the slump will be tough after losing seven key players, including ace Greg Reynolds (No. 2 pick in last year's draft). RHP Nolan Gallagher (5-5, 3.99 ERA in 65 IP) and LHP Jeremy Bleich (4-4, 4.05 in 60) aim to fill the void. OF Michael Taylor (.325, 5 HRs, 39 RBI) leads a lineup that returns no all-stars. Opens: Feb. 2 at No. 8 Cal State-Fullerton.

It provides a producer or songwriter with the ability to create scratch sounds / effects from their own samples or recordings without leaving the sequencer environment. Whats more, every single parameter (including the actual scratch motion and speed) can easily be recorded, tweaked and automated using MIDI from within your VST sequencer environment. DyScratch can also be played live using a standard MIDI keyboard.
• Load and scratch any standard WAV file
• Integrates seamlessly with VST hosts that support the VSTi format
• ALL parameters can be recorded and automated via standard MIDI
• Scratch your samples 'live' using a controller keyboard with a pitch- bend wheel, or play scratches using the keyboard (this feature is unique to DyScratch)
• Set the start and end points of the range within the sample you want to scratch. For example you could load an entire breakbeat and isolate just the snare, then scratch the hell out of it!
• Wave display for a visual representation of start-end points as well as the current scratch position within the wave
• Optional 'Gate' can be used to create crossfader cuts and FX
• Animated turntable
• Bulit in 'Clipper' effect simulates overdriven vinyl levels
• Variable 'Humanize' function simulates the human touch
