Rome is full of unusual sights as the machine to select the next pope rolls forward. Italians and 5,000 members of the media have seen gaggles of cardinals scurrying across St. Peter's Square en route to pre-conclave meetings. They have seen the next pope's fresh wardrobe – in three sizes, depending on his dimensions – on full display at an ecclesiastical tailor's shop.
Perhaps the most unusual sight on Tuesday took place on the auditorium stage of the Pontifical North American College, on the leafy Janiculum Hill overlooking the Vatican. Seated next to one another were two live-wire American cardinals, Sean O'Malley of Boston and Daniel DiNardo of Galveston-Houston.
Why was the event unusual? Because cardinals almost never talk to the press during the pre-conclave congregation meetings. Traditionally, selecting a pope is a highly secretive process. Details of who says what in the meetings, who is up and who is down, goes to the grave with them. Even talking in general terms about the conclave process is rare, or at least was until now.
Neither man looks remotely like a cardinal. Sporting a brown hooded robe and white rope belt, Cardinal O'Malley was dressed like a Franciscan. Cardinal DiNardo was all in black, like a simple, though elegant, priest. They were taking questions from the mob of reporters about the conclave process (though careful not to break their oaths of secrecy) and having fun.
When asked why setting the date for the conclave was taking so long, Cardinal O'Malley replied that such a weighty decision should not be rushed and joked that the wait appealed to his stomach: "It's hard to get a bad meal in Rome."
While a few cardinals, among them Peter Turkson of Ghana, a longshot for the big job, have given one-on-one interviews, the Americans are changing the rules of media engagement in the 2013 edition of the conclave, which was triggered by Pope Benedict XVI's shock resignation on Feb. 11. They have rolled out cardinals on three occasions in the past few days – no other country has done the same with their church princes – and the pace is about to pick up with daily appearances. On Wednesday, two heavyweights, each considered a potential king maker because of their Vatican clout, are to appear: Chicago Cardinal Frances George and New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan.
Why is this happening? Depends on how conspiratorial you want to be.
According to Sister Mary Ann Walsh, media director for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and organizer of the cardinals' appearances in Rome, there is no secret agenda. "There are 70 million Catholics in the U.S.," she said. "This is the easiest way to reach them, through the media."
The cardinals themselves had an equally simple explanation. "This is perhaps more normal in the United States," said Cardinal DiNardo, referring the American cardinals' generally media friendly approach to matters Catholic and Vatican.
But maybe something else was going on. It's an open secret that the American cardinals and bishops, along with their German counterparts, are not fans of the Curia, the Vatican's administrative body, which is led by Italian Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone and considered an Italian power base.
There is no shortage of Vatican watchers who think the Curia is in sore need of reform. They say it is slow to make decisions, is undemocratic and occasionally botches the job. George Weigel, the author of many books on the popes and the church, including the newly published Evangelical Catholicism, called the Curia "dysfunctional."
Cardinals DiNardo and O'Malley were asked their opinions about the Curia and did their best to be subtle. The former said, "We need to look attentively at the work of the Curia. … The Curia is there to serve the Holy Father and there to serve the holy church." The latter said, "There is certainly a lot of reflection going on [about] the governance of the holy church."
A European diplomat to the Holy See, who did not want to be identified, said their statements were as close to outright criticism of the Italian-dominated Curia as decorum permits. "The Italians are feeling under attack," he said. "How will they retaliate?"
If they retaliate, it will probably be through leaks. The American Cardinals probably would use press conferences to mount a counterattack.

At 3-3, the New England Patriots are not off to the typical early season start. For whatever the reason might be, the Patriots lost back-to-back games for the first time in what seems like forever, after a 24-23 loss to Seattle. Well, Tom Brady had called out Seattle corner Richard Sherman and safety Earl Thomas before the contest, so of course Sherman decided to fire back on Twitter with:
He told me and earl to see him after the game when they win….. I found him after….
Sherman even included a picture. This – combined with the loss – clearly did not make the Patriots happy and a few players let loose over the social media outlet. Backup running back Stevan Ridley had this to say:
Makes me sick.. For real.
While cornerback Alfonzo Dennard said:
Haters gone hate so keep doing what you do best
Not very original but it certainly gets to the point. It could be the start of some bad blood between two teams that rarely ever play each other. Meanwhile, two teams that don't like each other – the Cincinnati Bengals and the Cleveland Browns – squared off on Sunday for the battle of Ohio and all involved were pumped, like linebacker Dontay Moch, who tweeted:
Battle of Ohio. It's game day, us vs them. Time to do work! #WhoDey #teamfeedme
He wasn't the only player excited for their game, Denver Broncos backup quarterback Brock Osweiler let the world know how excited he was before Monday Night Football.
Can't wait to get this game kicked off tonight in San Diego…there just isn't anything quite like #MNF! #BroncosCountry
Good luck doing anything other than holding a clipboard with Peyton Manning starting, but we agree that MNF is pretty awesome. Other players have been working hard and are just excited to relax. Baltimore Ravens linebacker Courtney Upshaw had this to say after the Ravens' 31-29 win over the Dallas Cowboys:
Going to sleep good once I hit that bed
Someone should tell him it's not going to get any easier with Ray Lewis now out for the season. Speaking of injuries, Donald Jones and the Buffalo Bills had a scary moment on Sunday when their plane had a rough landing back home. So what's the first thing he did – tweet about it!
Scary ass landing but we safe lol
Not everyone was full of something to say after this week's action. Kansas City Chiefs backup running back Cyrus Gray tweeted this after yet another loss for the red and white:
We don't know what to tell you, Cyrus. Your team stinks. A team that didn't stink this week was the Detroit Lions. 17 fourth quarter points gave the Lions a must needed win against the Philadelphia Eagles. Wide receiver Kassim Osgood thanked the big guy upstairs afterwards.
Sometimes it's as simple as just letting God take control.
He should have thanked the big guy coaching the Eagles. Actually it's just as simple as playing a team with Mike Vick in control. There's always next week. But until then, let the feuds continue and the tweeting remain all over the place.

NEW ROADS — The future of Pointe Coupee Central High School remains uncertain after the School Board on Thursday night again delayed making a decision, opting instead to set another special meeting to determine a new course for the now-vacant school.
Much of the discussion surrounding what to do with the campus, which closed this summer, was held behind closed doors Thursday since the matter is tied to a decadeslong desegregation case.
But after the executive session, board President Frank Aguillard announced the board would revisit the issue during an Oct. 2 meeting.
"I think we're close," he said. "We're not going to just jump into anything. We want to make sure it's right. We don't want to make any of the same mistakes we did in the past."
The future of PCCH has been controversial since its forced shutdown by U.S. District Judge James J. Brady. The state's Recovery School District, which ran the school for six years, asked the court in March to return jurisdiction of the school to the parish school system after the state failed to improve academic performance.
Students who were attending PCCH were transferred this fall to Livonia High School.
Brady also ordered the School Board to submit a plan to the court within six months outlining the district's planned use of the campus for the 2015-16 school year. The board has until Oct. 22 to submit that plan to the court.
Aguillard expressed confidence after Thursday's regular meeting that the board would meet that deadline.
Superintendent Linda D'Amico in July presented board members with a proposal to transform Central into an early college/career academy that would offer students an extensive number of dual-enrollment opportunities. The tiered program would give students the opportunity to earn high school diplomas and associate degrees simultaneously or industry-based certification that could jump-start their entry into the workforce.
But after a barrage of criticism at a meeting on Monday, D'Amico decided to pull back her proposal to make some revisions.
Several board members slammed the superintendent's proposal for Central saying it lacked extracurricular activities such as sports and the arts, while others doubted it would attract enough diversity to a campus that has been historically attended mostly by black students.
Insufficient diversity would result in the court rejecting a plan, attorney Bob Hammonds previously informed the board.
The board was presented with a revised proposal from D'Amico on Thursday night before going into executive session.
In her revamped proposal, the superintendent added liberal arts certifications and associate degree curricula, as well as stipulations that any students attending the proposed academy may participate in sports offered at Livonia High.
But a group of residents calling themselves the Concerned Citizens for Education in Pointe Coupee presented the board with an alternative plan that involves transforming Central into a theme-based academy without the enrollment caps and admission requirements included in the superintendent's proposal.
Joetta Hunter, spokeswoman for the group, said transforming Central into a theme-based academy would build morale within the community and give students the opportunity to choose their own paths.
A few theme-based curricula Hunter suggested in her proposal were fine arts, communications, public service, and math and science.
"We can no longer operate the way we have and think we're going to be successful," Hunter told the board. "Too many times we're hearing about complaints with the school system."

Mold is quite prevalent in musty and damp conditions. It is also common in moist, dark areas. The majority of the homes offer an ideal breeding ground for the persistent home invader. From air ducts to basements, clothing, and even ceiling tiles, the mold is known to make its way into various places in a home. It can cause material damage and even aggravating allergies, presenting serious health hazards, and respiratory conditions. Fortunately, you can hire Mold Removal Long Island company to solve the problem. Professionals are trained to take care of this problem.
Where does mold come from?
The majority of the homes are situated in damp climates. This explains why the mold can be found in HVAC systems, air ducts, basements, and in the attic, among many other places. If you believe your home has got mold, you should call a professional mold removal firm.
Ensure you get a free visual inspection. This will enable you to discuss the problem with the technician. You will also get a feel of the service you need. Always, check moisture stains, leaks, and more. They can use moisture issues to detect the unseen problems, look at wall spaces, and ductwork. Moreover, they use moisture meters to find out unseen problems. They can also carry other tests like swab sampling, or air sampling. This will ensure that the air quality is great.
Why do homes have mold?
You should note that mold is a natural part of the outdoor environment. Thus, it comes from the decomposing organic matter like plant material and leaves. Whenever it reproduces, it will set spores adrift to grow and settle. Pores cannot grow without moisture. This can result from poor drainage, poor property grading, clogged downspouts, lack of vapor, flooding, and many more.
If it gets an appropriate environment and food, it will grow. It can use wood, paper, carpet, cotton, and several other substances to grow. Likewise, stagnant water is good for mold.
Getting rid of mold Cleaning up mold is not sufficient. You need to remove moisture, which acts as the breeding ground. Professionals do use HEPA vacuum, wet vacuum for containment purposes. Moreover, they can use foggers, specialized biocides, and specialized equipment to get rid of the existing mold. It is good to remove water source if necessary. Fix leaks, correct the drainage and install proper ventilation.
Mold removal experts can replace and remove flooring, damaged walls, carpets, and different other materials. They do work with insurance companies whenever applicable. They can restore affected areas within the appropriate time.…

Title: PEROTIN
Street Release Date: 04/18/2000
Genre: CLASSICAL ARTISTS
It would be impossible to adequately describe the inherent haunting beauty of Perotin's music, or to fully detail its far-reaching influence in latter-12th-century France. The opening "Viderunt omnes" is a perfect illustration of the surprising vitality and highly charged sense of forward motion that can be obtained with relatively simple rhythmic impulses and harmonic devices. The male voices of the Hilliard Ensemble generate an electrifying resonance that vibrates everything in the room that's not solid or nailed down. You can literally feel this music, ringing with natural harmonics and set to body-moving rhythms. Yes, it's religious music, intended for lofty cathedral spaces; but it moves, and it's moving, and this recording gives it to you full blast. --David Vernier

The present invention relates to medical devices, and in particular to imaging catheters.
An endoscope is a piece of surgical equipment that has imaging capabilities so as to be able to provide images of an internal body cavity of a patient. Most minimally invasive surgical procedures performed in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract or other internal body cavities are accomplished with the aid of an endoscope. An endoscope typically includes one or more instrument channels through which other medical catheters/instruments can pass.
Typically, an endoscope is used to reach an area of interest within a body cavity and, thereafter, another instrument such as a surgical catheter is extended through the instrument channel of the endoscope to perform some desired procedure. In a pulmonary endoscopic procedure, one of the key characteristics of the endoscope is its outer diameter with respect to the bronchial tree through which it must pass. For example, a conventional bronchoscope is typically a two or three lumen structure that includes fiber optic bundles for imaging and illumination and an instrument channel for the application of suction and/or the placement of tools. A conventional bronchoscope typically has an instrument channel lumen with an internal diameter of about 2.0 mm to 2.8 mm, and an outer shaft diameter of approximately 5 or 6 millimeters. Such an endoscope is too large to navigate the bronchial branches of the periphery of the lung, which are typically in the range of 2 to 3 millimeters wide. As a consequence, a conventional bronchoscope can only reach about the third or fourth bifurcation level of the bronchial tree. If a tissue biopsy is needed at the periphery of the tree where it is too narrow for the bronchoscope to access, the biopsy forceps are often pushed blindly into the region of the tissue and the sample is obtained in the absence of visualization.
Another factor that complicates endoscopic exploration of the periphery of the lung is the complexity and number of bronchial branches that exist. Electromagnetic navigation systems have been developed by companies such as SuperDimension� (Minneapolis, Minn.) and Mediguide� (Arlington, Va.) that allow for guided access to peripheral sites in the airways. The current navigation systems are limited, however, by the lack of means for directly visualizing the patient's anatomy at the distal location of the extended working channel. This lack of direct visualization may result in inaccurate initial targeting of a therapeutic site, such as a biopsy site, without any indication of whether the correct target tissue has been reached, due in part to tolerance issues on how accurate these systems can be. Also, a subsequent event such as patient movement or coughing may modify the target site after the sensor is removed from the working channel.
Therefore, to improve access to remote locations in the body there is a need for a small diameter visualization catheter with a working channel that can be used in conjunction with electromagnetic tracking.
To address these and other concerns, the present invention is a visualization system including a small gauge vision catheter having an imaging channel for imaging means and a separate working channel. An electromagnetic sensor element is included in the vision catheter to provide position tracking. In one embodiment, the position sensor is removably positioned in the working channel. The working channel also provides access for therapeutic and diagnostic tools. In some embodiments, the vision catheter may have a shaft with a maximum outer diameter of less than about 3.0 mm and is capable of insertion through an instrument channel of a bronchoscope. In other embodiments, the vision catheter may have a shaft with a maximum outer diameter of about 4.2 mm that includes an outer layer with a braided structure that may be directly inserted into a living body.
In another embodiment, the present invention provides a method of examining a patient. The method includes advancing an endoscope into a passageway of a patient and inserting a vision catheter into an instrument channel of the endoscope. The vision catheter includes an imaging channel and a separate working channel. A position sensor is inserted into the working channel of the vision catheter and an imaging mechanism is inserted into the imaging channel. The vision catheter is advanced beyond the distal end of the endoscope and image information and position tracking information are simultaneously transmitted from the distal end to the proximal end of the vision catheter.
The foregoing aspects and many of the attendant advantages of this invention will become more readily appreciated as the same become better understood by reference to the following detailed description, when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
In traditional pulmonary endoscope systems, such as bronchoscopes, electromagnetic sensors have been developed that allow the guided delivery of catheters (often referred to as extended working channels) to target locations in the bronchi and peripheral airways of a patient. In operation, an electromagnetic sensor is fed through a single lumen of a catheter. The location of the sensor element is mapped, and the sensor element is removed from the lumen. An instrument is then inserted into the lumen for therapeutic intervention. However, as discussed above, the extended working channel/sensor systems do not provide direct imaging capability.
To address these and other problems, the present invention is a visualization system that includes a small gauge vision catheter with a working channel lumen and imaging channel that allows for simultaneous direct visualization and electromagnetic sensor tracking. In some embodiments, the vision catheter is adapted to be inserted through an instrument channel of an endoscope, such as a bronchoscope. In other embodiments, the vision catheter comprises an outer sheath and is adapted to function as a stand alone medical device.
The vision catheter and visualization system provides several advantages over the conventional extended working channel/sensor tracking systems mentioned above. For example, the present invention enables a physician to directly visualize the distal bronchi and also obtain a three-dimensional position with a sensor element in order to precisely orient the working channel for therapeutic intervention, such as for taking a biopsy sample. The present invention also minimizes the consequences of patient movement by allowing the physician to verify that the vision catheter is in a proper orientation if the tracking sensor has been removed, thereby allowing a higher yield during trans-bronchial biopsy procedures. The present invention also provides for better management and faster response to potential complications such as bleeding during a pulmonary procedure. The various embodiments of the vision catheter described herein may be used with both reusable and low cost, disposable endoscopes, such as an endoscope that is sufficiently inexpensive to manufacture such that it can be a single-use device as described in U.S. patent application Ser. Nos. 10/811,781, filed Mar. 29, 2004, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,413,543, and Ser. No. 10/956,007, filed Sep. 30, 2004, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,578,786, each of which are commonly assigned to Scimed Life Systems, Inc., now Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc. and are hereby incorporated by reference. The various embodiments of the vision catheter described herein may also be used with in vivo visualization systems as described in U.S. Patent Application Ser. Nos. 60/555,356, filed Mar. 23, 2004, 10/914,411 filed Aug. 9, 2004, 60/656,801, filed Feb. 25, 2005, PCT/US2005/009533, filed Mar. 23, 2005, and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/089,520, filed Mar. 23, 2005, each of which are commonly assigned to Scimed Life Systems, Inc., now Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc. and are hereby incorporated by reference.
As mentioned previously, the vision catheter 10 includes the imaging channel 22 that serves as a conduit for an imaging device 90. In one embodiment the imaging device device 90 is an optical fiber bundle including one or more imaging fibers 94 and one or more illumination fibers 96, as shown in
In operation, the imaging fibers 94 within the imaging device 90 transmit an image obtained at the distal end of the catheter 10 to a remote camera that displays the image on a monitor (not shown). As shown in
In some embodiments of the vision catheter 10, an objective lens or lenses (not shown) are placed at the distal end 12 of the shaft 11 in front of the imaging channel 22 to focus and/or amplify the image obtained with the imaging fibers. With regard to the field of view, focusing and magnification, the lens or lenses at the distal end of the imaging fiber may be made adjustable so as to increase the field of view and/or to allow for focus and additional magnification. The imaging channel 22 at the distal end 12 may be designed to have an additional lumen and/or port for flushing the lens so as to clean the surface, as described in more detail below.
The illumination source 92 for use in the system 100 may be of any suitable type of external light source such as a laser, halogen or mercury arc lamp source that supplies light to the imaging device 90 within the imaging channel 22 in order to illuminate an examination scene at the distal end 12 of the catheter 10. In some embodiments, the illumination source 92 is chosen for use with a particular therapeutic method. For example, the system 100 may be used in conjunction with autofluorescence technology to help diagnose lung cancer. The inability of conventional bronchoscopy to consistently detect early stage lung cancer has led to the development of the technique of fluorescence bronchoscopy for early detection of lung cancer. Fluorescence bronchoscopy is based on the fact that normal tissue fluoresces differently than abnormal tissue when exposed to an appropriate wavelength of light, and this difference can be detected. Xillix Technologies Corp., Lung Imaging Fluorescence Endoscope (LIFE) Vancouver, BC, illustrates this technology.
In another example, the system 100 may be used for pulmonary phototherapy. Phototherapy generally involves the preferential retention of a photosensitizer such as Photofrin� (porfimer sodium) by malignant or premalignant tissue, followed by the application of light with the imaging device inserted in the catheter to excite the sensitizer such that it interacts with oxygen to generate cytotoxins that destroy the abnormal tissue. The light exposure may be provided by a quartz fiber inserted through the working channel 24 or imaging channel 22 of the catheter 10 that illuminates the airway with a red laser light (630 nm). A cylindrical diffuser may be included at the tip of the quartz fiber to emit light over a broader pattern within the surrounding tissue.
As described above, the working channel 24 is disposed in the shaft 11 of the catheter 10 and is a conduit for receiving a position sensor element 80, and for receiving tools to take biopsies, applying medication, applying a vacuum, insufflation or irrigation, including a lens washing solution, as described in more detail below. The position sensor element 80 is preferably part of a position measuring system 82 that measures the position of the sensor element 80 within the vision catheter 10 relative to a three-dimensional frame of reference. The position sensor element 80 may be any suitable tracking device, such as, for example, a device with a magnetically responsive/active section that provides position and orientation information about the catheter 10. In one embodiment of the system 100, the position sensor 80 is part of a six degrees-of-freedom position measuring system 82 that detects the position and attitude of the catheter distal end 12 in three translational and three rotational degrees-of-freedom. The position sensor element 80 is capable of insertion into the working channel 24 of the vision catheter 10. One suitable tracking sensor element 80 and system is commercially available from SuperDimension, Inc., of Minneapolis, Minn. Such a position measuring system is a six degrees-of-freedom electromagnetic position measuring system and is described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,188,355, issued to Super Dimension Ltd., and incorporated herein by reference.
In operation of the system 100, a user (such as a bronchoscopist) inserts the bronchoscope 50 into the bronchial tree of a patient in a conventional fashion. When small bronchioli are reached that are too small in diameter to receive the bronchoscope 50, the user inserts the small gauge vision catheter 10 into the port 56 of the instrument channel 58 of the bronchoscope 50. The user then advances the vision catheter 10 beyond the distal end 52 of the bronchoscope 50. At the time of vision catheter 10 insertion, or at a later time, the user inserts the position sensor element 80 into the working channel 24; and inserts the imaging device 90 into the imaging channel 22 of the vision catheter 10. The progress of the catheter 10 into the bronchial tree is then observed via the tracking sensor system 82 and a real time view of the examination scene is captured from the imaging device 90 and directly visualized by the user on the display monitor 74 or through an eyepiece (not shown) attached to the imaging device 90. Once the distal end 12 of the catheter 10 is positioned in a desired location, the user records the position sensor information and may optionally superimpose position coordinates with other position information, such as fluoroscope information. The position sensor element 80 is then retracted from the working channel 24 of the vision catheter 10 in order to allow passage of therapeutic and/or diagnostic tools through the working channel 24. Throughout the positioning, diagnostic examination and/or therapeutic procedure, the user is able to monitor the examination scene through the use of the imaging device 90. Therefore, the system 100 provides a means for closely monitoring the position and orientation of the vision catheter 10, such that re-introduction of the position sensor 80 is not required to verify the catheter position after patient coughing or other patient movement.
In the system 100, the vision catheter 10 is a small gauge catheter having a lumen through which imaging means can be inserted, and a working channel. In some embodiments, the imaging device 90 is integrally formed with the vision catheter 10. In other embodiments, the imaging device 90 is removably inserted into the vision catheter 10. As described above, the vision catheter 10 is able to traverse tortuous airway passages to the peripheral airways in a manner as atraumatic to the patient as possible. Therefore, to limit insertion time and discomfort to the patient the vision catheter 10 is of the appropriate size and shape and is made of flexible materials that are responsive to maneuvering forces when guiding the vision catheter 10 into the desired position.
Additional channels 26 a and 26 b may be optionally included in the shaft body 20 to provide increased flexibility and/or functionality to the shaft 28. For example, the additional channels 26 a and/or 26 b shown in
In one particular embodiment of the vision catheter 10 a, the shaft body 20 is a four lumen extrusion having a C-shaped open imaging lumen. The shaft may have an outer diameter of less than 3.0 mm, such as 2.9 mm or less, such as 2.8 mm or less. In accordance with this embodiment, the working channel 24 may have a diameter of about 2.0 mm and the imaging channel 22 may have a diameter of about 0.5 mm.
In one embodiment of the catheter 10 b, the shaft body 30 is a two lumen extrusion having a C-shaped imaging lumen. The shaft may have an outer diameter of about 2.7 mm. In accordance with this embodiment, the working channel 34 may have a diameter of about 1.9 mm and the imaging channel may have a diameter of about 0.5 mm.
With reference to
In some embodiments, the shaft and/or distal tip of the catheter may be shaped or bent for access to specific pulmonary regions, such as a hockey stick type shape or other suitable shape for access into airway passages. The internal surface of the channels within the vision catheter may be lined or coated with a friction reducing material such as a lubricious polymer for ease of inserting the fiber optic bundle and position sensor, etc.
In one embodiment of the catheter 210, the shaft 211 may have an outer diameter of 4.15 mm. In accordance with this embodiment, the shaft 211 comprises the double lumen extruded shaft body 220, the outer polymeric layer 218 and the inner reinforcement sheath 226 disposed therebetween. In accordance with this embodiment, the working channel may have a diameter of about 2.0 mm and the imaging channel may have a diameter of about 0.9 mm.
In operation of the system 200, the distal end of the catheter 210, including a position sensor element that is positioned in the working channel 222 and an imaging element that is positioned in the imaging channel 224, is advanced into a patient's airway until the desired location is reached. The location of the distal end 212 is tracked using the position sensor system 82. The position sensor element is then retracted from the working channel 222. The user may then insert therapeutic and/or diagnostic tools into the working channel 222.
In another embodiment, the present invention provides a method of examining a patient as shown in
While described in reference to pulmonary applications, the vision catheter and system may be used in any region of the body requiring manipulation through passages having a small diameter that require positional tracking, such as cardiology, etc.
While the preferred embodiment of the invention has been illustrated and described, it will be appreciated that various changes can be made therein without departing from the scope of the invention. It is therefore intended that the scope of the invention be determined from the following claims and equivalents thereof.

Casey Anthony's Personal Bodyguard Revealed — The Man Who Hid 'Tot Mom' In Secret Hideout For $10K (EXCLUSIVE)
Private investigator Jeremiah "Jerry" Lyons provided bodyguard services to 26-year-old 'Tot Mom' and was on the payroll of former attorney Jose Baez, according to a document obtained by Celebuzz.
Lyons billed Baez for services touted as "the protection, safety and travel of Casey Anthony."
"The hourly rate of pay was computed at $65 per hour," the invoice, dated September 1, 2011 and sent to Baez's office, said."The full day rate was computed at an eight hour day although on most days the hours worked were well in excess of that."
Indeed, Lyons charged Baez for travel with Anthony on July 16 — the day she was released from the Orange County jail in Orlando, Florida. He continued to travel and protect her for the next eight days as she began a life moving from state to state, Celebuzz can reveal.
Lyons resumed travel with Anthony — who was acquitted of murdering her toddler daughter, Caylee, 2 — on July 29, 30, 31 and August 1 and 2.
In his missive to Baez, the bodyguard also noted that he was engaged on August 5 and August 22 for Anthony to "possibly sign up for probation" for a check-fraud conviction.
On the latter occasion, it was "not done and decision was to change locations," he wrote.
Lyons also provided a cell phone for Anthony, in his name, for her use beginning in July, 2011. He billed Baez $75 per month, noting it gave the user "unlimited long distance and local phone calls" and "unlimited text."
In all, Lyons' bill totaled $9,335.82.
Anthony was found not guilty on July 5, last year, after a jury of seven women and five men rejected the prosecution's contention that she had murdered Caylee, by dosing her with chloroform, suffocating her with duct tape and dumping her body in a wooded area.
Lyons — who in 1994 retired after a 20-year career as a detective with the New York City Transit Police — was a key figure in the trial, playing the role of lead defense investigator.
In an interview after she was found not guilty, he predicted a bleak future for the woman who has become a national obsession.
"Everywhere she goes — five years from now, 10 years from now — there's going to be somebody yelling 'baby killer' to her," he said.
He also criticized the sheriff who he said was too quick to charge Anthony through out its investigation.
"When I entered into this case, I thought there was a good chance she was guilty," he said.
"When I walk out of it, I know that she is innocent. And I believe her to be innocent, not just 'not guilty.'"
As Celebuzz revealed, Casey reportedly hid out in Santa Monica, Calif. when she was released from jail — where she arranged to have some of Caylee's ashes sent to her inside an ash-holder necklace.

AT&T - Time Warner
Murdoch's Fox makes bid for Time Warner
7/16/14 - Time Warner has rejected a takeover bid from Twenty-First Century Fox and says it has no interest in further discussions with Rupert Murdoch's media entertainment giant. The New York company said Wednesday that Twenty-First Century Fox Inc. offered last month a combination of its stock and $32.42 in cash for each Time Warner share.
Time Warner's board rejected the bid after consulting with financial and legal advisers and determining that its strategic plan "will create significantly more value for the (company) and its stockholders and is superior to any proposal that Twenty-First Century Fox is in a position to offer," the company said.
Twenty-First Century Fox confirmed in a short, separate statement that Time Warner had rejected its bid, but it did not provide any details. It added that it is not currently in discussions with Time Warner.
The Times, citing anonymous sources, said that Murdoch is determined to make a deal. That price amounted to a 25 premium to Time Warner's stock price at the time.
Time Warner's holdings include the cable movie channel HBO and Warner Bros. studios. The company said Wednesday its management team has completed several deals that have unlocked value in related businesses.
It spun off Time Warner Cable into a separate company in 2009. Last month, it completed the spin of its publishing division Time Inc. as well.
The Times reported that Twenty-First Century Fox would have sold CNN as part of the deal to avoid anti-trust concerns. Its Fox News competes directly with the news network.
Ultimately, their end game is to consolidate everything (including the media) - when the 1st Revelation seal gets unleashed, there will likely be ONLY ONE media outlet for the entire world

Turkana Camel/Lakes (Fridays) 13 ½ Days – Camping Safari.
The first section of this combination safari is operated in a safari truck. Specially designed with high sides, the vehicle is equipped for the rough terrain you will pass over. Camping is at camp sites and in the bush, depending on our location. All camp equipment is provided [except sleeping bags], and our cook will keep you well fed throughout the safari. After leaving the safari vehicle at Maralal, you continue on camel. Trekking in the bush with English Speaking Samburu guides, who will keep you entertained with local stories and culture. Your last night (Monday) at Yare Club is in self contained Bandas, a Samburu dance is included, and on Tuesday you join your vehicle coming to Samburu to take you to Baringo and Nakuru to where you will take a shuttle to Nairobi.
Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Samburu. Depart Nairobi at 09:00 a.m. heading North via the shoulder of Mt. Kenya to Samburu Reserve.

We are "courtesy-posting" Thor for another rescuer. He's in a loving foster home, but needs to find his forever home! We could arrange transport once an adoption application, including home visit, is completed and approved.
His family had to give him up because they lived in a breed discriminating location.
He's very smart - knows basic commands such as sit, and shake/give paw. He'd do best in a home with a fence. He's fine with other dogs, and is curious about cats, but isn't bothered by them.
If you're ready for just an awesome, awesome boy who loves to run, play fetch, and just do whatever you want to do, Thor is your boy! He's fine if you just want to watch movies & eat popcorn, too! He's house trained, crate trained, leash trained, and just needs a family! He's up to date on all vetting, too!

The Tories' Ugly Libor Politics
George Osborne has ignored the golden rule of playing politics: One must not be seen to be doing so.
The political firestorm unleashed two weeks ago by Barclays's settlement with U.K. and U.S. regulators over the manipulation of the London interbank offered rate, or Libor, has turned a scandal into a debacle of the first order.
Last week Bank of England Governor Mervyn King demanded the resignation of Bob Diamond, Barclays's CEO, leaving the bank with no succession plan. Barclays now has no direction and is effectively a ward of the state. A replacement for Mr. Diamond will first will need to win the backing of the Bank...

Author | Noor Fathima Warsia | Thursday, Jul 27,2006 7:12 AM
ACNielsen, which had hitherto been tracking only advertising agencies, has now turned the spotlight on media agencies too. The first set of results of its Media AgencyTrack shows MindShare as the No. 1 agency, followed by Madison, Maxus, The Media Edge and Universal McCann.
The Results:
This study takes into account the fact that media agencies have emerged as a distinct and important business in the Indian advertising industry. In its first round, the ACNielsen Media AgencyTrack surveyed more than 150 top advertisers in the country covering key decision making levels and different industries. The ranking is derived from three key measures: respondents' favourite media agency; whether they would recommend the media agency to others; and their willingness to pay a premium for the media agency's services.
While MindShare leads the way in the metros of Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore and Ahmedabad, Maxus is ahead by a large margin in Delhi. In Mumbai, Madison is the top agency followed closely by MindShare.
Looking at some more findings, at the all India level, Starcom is in the sixth position, followed by Lodestar, Carat, MediaCom and Initiative Media on the tenth spot.
Based on their expertise in different sectors, the equity base of agencies differs within industries. In the FMCG sector, Madison has the highest score while in consumer durables TME scores the highest. Maxus has the highest equity in the industrial sector, while MindShare leads the way in services. Lodestar tops in lifestyle.
Media AgencyTrack also highlights the differences in the equity of the various media agencies based on the decision-making levels amongst advertisers. MindShare has the highest equity among the top-level management, while Madison leads the way in the middle level management.
Industry Comments:
"Media agencies are very industry focused in their expertise. Agencies need to be more visible and that would significantly contribute to their equity in the market," said G Seshagiri, Director, Client Servicing, ACNielsen ORG MARG. "A proactive approach and transparency are the other key drivers that can improve an agency's equity," he pointed out.
GroupM is excited over the results. Vikram Sakhuja, CEO, GroupM - India and South Asia, said, "It is a very humbling experience. This has been a great year for us. Being voted Brand Equity's Most Admired Agency, then winning Emvies Media Agency of the Year and then this getting added to the list is a great feeling. It validates the kind of work that is happening at the agency and what we can offer to our clients."
The Media Edge and Universal McCann are also delighted with the top line findings.
Bringing another point of view here, however, Lynn de Souza, Director, Lintas Media Group, said, "ACNielsen approached us almost two years back and we went back and forth on the pricing. Since we found the data too costly, we decided a year back that we would not be subscribing to or participating in it. We haven't heard since on this survey. We have no idea on when the fieldwork was done, what the parameters were, whether all our brands in the various markets were measured, whether it was on billings or perception mapping or anything else about this study."
She further said, "I must point out that if this is compared to any of the other surveys that have taken place in India, the results are very different. This questions the credibility of this survey and indeed of ACNielsen itself when it comes to measuring organisations with whom it is directly related with."
Not many in the industry at present have access to the findings of the survey. Perhaps more industry views would be forthcoming once people have had the chance to look at the findings closely.

"I recognized that it doesn't matter what was occurring if you ask me, God was in control," she claims through eyes. "And I understood He might make anything good originate from even this." "Anything great" is aline of custom cards developed especially for cancer sufferers, Cards.
