This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/404,418 filed Sep. 23, 1999, issued Jul. 3, 2001, as U.S. Pat. No. 6,254,631, which application is incorporated herein by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention pertains to stents for use in intraluminal applications. More particularly, this invention pertains to a stent with enhanced friction on a delivery catheter.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Stents are widely used for numerous applications where the stent is placed in the lumen of a patient and expanded. Such stents may be used in coronary or other vasculature, as well as other body lumens.
Commonly, stents are cylindrical members. The stents expand from reduced diameters to enlarged diameters. Frequently, such stents are placed on a balloon catheter with the stent in the reduced-diameter state. So placed, the stent is advanced on the catheter to a placement site. At the site, the balloon is inflated to expand the stent to the enlarged diameter. The balloon is deflated and removed, leaving the enlarged diameter stent in place. So used, such stents are used to expand occluded sites within a patient's vasculature or other lumen.
Examples of prior art stents are numerous. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,449,373 to Pinchasik et al. teaches a stent with at least two rigid segments joined by a flexible connector. U.S. Pat. No. 5,695,516 to Fischell teaches a stent with a cell having a butterfly shape when the stent is in a reduced-diameter state. Upon expansion of the stent, the cell assumes a hexagonal shape.
To deliver a stent, the stent in a reduced diameter shape is placed surrounding a deflated tip of a balloon catheter. The catheter and stent are simultaneously advanced through a sheath to a deployment site in a body lumen. At the site, the balloon is inflated to expand the stent. Following such expansion, the balloon is deflated. The catheter is withdrawn leaving the expanded stent in place.
In order to prevent the presence of sharp corners and burrs which might otherwise damage a balloon, stents are highly polished to a mirror finish. Unfortunately, a highly polished stent can slip off a balloon tip catheter. Also, when a balloon is inflated, the axially spaced ends of the balloon tend to inflate faster than the center of the balloon. This can result in a concave cross-section (when viewed from the side) in the balloon and stent at a point in time prior to full expansion of the stent. During this period, ends of the stent may slide toward one another on the balloon toward the center of the balloon resulting in an undesirable compression of the length of the stent.
According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a stent for placement in a body lumen is fabricated by forming a tube having an un-deployed diameter sized for the tube to be placed on a deployment balloon and advanced through a body lumen to a deployment site. The tube is expandable upon inflation of the balloon to an enlarged diameter sized for the tube to be retained within the lumen at the site upon deflation and withdrawal of the balloon. The tube has a stent axis extending between first and second axial ends of the tube. The tube has an exterior surface and an interior surface. The tube is polished to polish the exterior surface to a smooth surface finish and with at least a portion of the interior surface having a rough surface finish rougher than the surface finish of the exterior surface.
FIG. 1 is perspective view of a stent;
FIG. 2 is the view of FIG. 1 with a nozzle poised to spray a particulate matter against the interior of the stent according to the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a rib of the stent of FIG. 1 before treatment according to the present invention; and
FIG. 4 is the view of FIG. 3 following treatment according to the present invention.
Referring now to the several drawing figures in which identical elements are numbered identically, a description of the preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be provided. Where several embodiments are shown, common elements are similarly numbered and not separately described with the addition of apostrophes to distinguish the embodiments.
In FIG. 1, a stent 10 is shown. The stent 10 is a hollow reticulated tube having an axis X—X and extending between first and second ends 12, 14. The stent 10 is shown in a reduced diameter state sized to be advanced through a human body lumen to a deployment site in the lumen. By way of non-limiting representative example, the stent may have an axial length L of about 9 mm-76 mm depending on the intended use of the stent (e.g., for opening an occluded site in a coronary artery or other body lumen). By way of none limiting representative example, such a stent 10 may have a reduced or unexpanded diameter D of 2.0 mm and be expandable to an expanded diameter of 10 mm.
For purposes of illustration, the present invention is described with reference to a stent 10 having a structure such as more fully described in commonly assigned and copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/049,486 filed Mar. 27, 1998, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,132,460, and Ser. No. 09/069,347 filed Apr. 29, 1998, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,132,461. Such a stent 10 is formed from a hollow, solid wall tube of stent material (e.g., titanium, Nitinol, stainless steel etc.). Excess material of the tube is removed through any suitable means such as laser cutting or chemical etching. Removal of the excess material leaves a stent 10 having a plurality of ribs 16 defining a plurality of open cells 18 extending through the wall thickness of the stent 10. The ribs 16 have interior surfaces 16 a (FIGS. 3 and 4) facing the axis X—X and exterior surfaces 16 b facing away from the axis X—X. The interior and exterior surfaces 16 a, 16 b are joined by radial surfaces 16 c.
In use, the reduced diameter stent 10 is placed on a balloon-tipped catheter. During such placement, the catheter balloon is deflated and the stent 10 is surrounding the balloon. The catheter and mounted stent are passed through the patient's lumen. Commonly, the catheter and stent are advanced through a catheter sheath pre-positioned within the lumen. The catheter and stent are advanced through an open distal end of the sheath to the deployment site within the lumen. At this point, the balloon is inflated to expand the stent 10 to the expanded diameter. After such expansion, the balloon is deflated and the catheter is withdrawn leaving the expanded stent 10 positioned within the lumen.
It will be appreciated that the foregoing description of stent 10 and its placement using a balloon-tipped catheter are previously known. Such description is provided to clarify the benefits of the present invention.
When forming a stent 10 from a solid wall tube as described, surface imperfections may be formed on the stent 10. For example, these can include sharp edges between surfaces 16 a and 16 c or surfaces 16 b and 16 c. Further, such imperfections may include burrs. Such imperfections are undesirable. A sharp surface imperfection at the interior surface 16 a can damage a catheter balloon thereby degrading or precluding its desired performance. A surface imperfection on the exterior surface 16 b can cause the stent 10 to be difficult to advance through a catheter sheath to the desired deployment site.
Recognizing the undesirability of such surface imperfections, the prior art uses polishing techniques to polish a stent 10 to a high degree of smooth surface finish for all of surfaces 16 a, 16 b and 16 c. Unfortunately, such a highly polished stent 10 presents additional problems. Namely, the exterior surfaces of catheter balloons are slippery relative to the material of a highly polished stent 10. Therefore, a stent 10 can be displaced on or fall off a catheter balloon. Also, when a balloon is inflated, the axially spaced ends of the balloon tend to inflate faster than the center of the balloon. This can result in a concave cross-section (when viewed from the side) in the balloon. Since the highly polished stent 10 is slidable on the balloon, the ends 12, 14 of the stent 10 may tend to slide toward one another when the balloon is in the intermediate concave state. Such movement can result in an undesirable compression of the length L of a highly polished stent 10.
The prior art has suggested the use of so-called "sticky" balloon which are coated or otherwise formed with a material having an enhanced adhesion with a highly polished inner surface 16 a of a stent 10. However, such balloons are difficult and expensive to manufacture.
The present invention selectively roughens the interior surface 16 a of the stent 10 to enhance friction between the stent 10 and a catheter balloon. Such a roughening is counter intuitive since conventional stent construction theory calls for a smooth, highly polished stent to avoid or minimize raised areas which might otherwise provide sites for thrombus formation or platelet activation after the stent is deployed. However, test data have indicated that a stent 10 with roughened surfaces as will be described does not exhibit excessive thrombus formation or platelet activation.
The interior surface 16 a of the stent 10 is roughened to a rough surface finish rougher than the surface finish of the exterior surface 16 b. In the roughening process as will be described, the radial surfaces 16 c are also roughened.
In a preferred embodiment, only a limited area between ends 12, 14 of the interior surface 16 a is roughened. This area is shown in FIG. 1 as bounded between lines 12 a, 14 a spaced about 4 mm into the interior of the stent 10 from ends 12, 14. The roughened area completely surrounds the axis X—X. While the entire interior surface 16 a could be roughened, it is preferred that at least areas on opposite sides of a center-line CL of the stent 10 be roughened to prevent axial shortening of the stent. Preferably, the boundaries 12 a, 14 a of the roughened area are as close as possible to ends 12, 14 to prevent even a small amount of axial shortening.
As shown in FIG. 2, the roughening is provided by a nozzle 30 positioned adjacent an end (e.g., end 12) of the stent 10. The nozzle 30 is positioned with a nozzle orifice 32 directing a particulate stream at an angle relative to the stent axis X—X. In a preferred embodiment, the orifice is positioned 1.0 mm from end 12 and the angle is 30�. By way of example, the nozzle 30 is a product sold under the name "Microblaster" of Comco, Inc. and has an orifice diameter of 0.015 inch. The particulate stream is powder silicon carbide size of about 50 micron which is discharged from the orifice at a pressure of 60 psi. During the application of the particulate stream, the stent 10 is rotated 360� about its axis X—X. When it is desirable to limit the axial length of the roughened area, a rod (not shown) may be inserted through the opposite end 14 of the stent 10 to expose only the area 12 to be roughened. Following roughening through end 12, the procedure is repeated on the opposite end 14 to uniformly roughen the surface 16 a. If desired, a tube may be placed around the exterior surface 16 b to insure the exterior surface 16 b is not roughened by the process. In the roughening process, the radial surfaces 16 c are also roughened. Roughening of the radial surfaces 16 c is not essential to the present invention. However, such roughening is not detrimental.
The surfaces 16 a, 16 c are uniformly covered with pits which are approximately 3 to 20 microns in size.
With a stent 10 as described, the stent 10 has enhanced friction on a deployment balloon. Slippage of the stent 10 on the balloon is reduced and integrity of the axial length L of the stent 10 is maintained. Also, and surprisingly, the stent 10 performs without undue thrombus formation or platelet activation in the roughened area of surface 16 b.
From the foregoing, the present invention has been shown in a preferred embodiment. Modifications and equivalents are intended to be included within the scope of the appended claims.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Girls With Wings, Inc., Lakewood, OH, USA
While reading the AOPA magazine I read about Girls With Wings and Lynda Meeks. I though what a great way to give back to the community, and specifically young girls wondering what they are going to be when they grow up. She mentioned in the article that she gives presentations on promoting aviation for girls. I hold a private pilot's license, but I guess I never thought about sharing my experience with other women or girls. Lynda had the insight and energy to do so. I wanted our Girl Scouts, including my daughter to hear what Lynda had to say. I contacted Lynda via email. I really did not think she would respond, let alone make herself available for a presentation to our girls all the way in El Dorado Hills, California. Lynda replied back saying she would be available. Well, we made it happen. The presentation was one of the best presentations our girls have had. Lynda made the presentation like a "career day". The presentation was very interactive with the girls all eyes on the many illustrations, activities and the speech about why girls too can be pilots and not just boys. We are very fortunate to have had Lynda give of herself and her experience in aviation. Thank you very much Lynda.

The only grouse that i have is that i had to go and collect the package personally from the post office as the post man said that it is too big/heavy to carry on his bike/cycle. I didnt expect that i had to do this but since the requirement was mine i went ahead ahead and collected it. I wish this would have been taken care and somebody from Wheel Chair India told me that i would have to do this i would have been prepared.

A Japanese TV show, known for pulling outrageous pranks, pulled the biggest of them all, a Dino-sized one.
Its something you'll have to see to believe, but a man was walking down the hallway, getting ready to start his work day, when a huge, life-sized raptor ran at him from around the corner. The man tries to escape its "deadly" clutches and even spills his coffee when he took a spill.
In another clip, a woman is the potential target. She also tries to escape but to no avail.
A shorter clip was posted on YouTube about a month ago and had received more than one million views.

Vetro 1925 Ristorante
Vetro 1925 serves classic Italian flavors with a touch of sophistication. Their historic building renovation won the Adaptive Use Award from the Fayetteville Chamber, so the website needed to bring the feel of the restaurant to life online.
Mouth-watering photography whets the appetite, and the black leather texture anchors their website header.

BOYS start your engines.
With a revealing keyhole cutout and a barely-there skirt length, this year's Clipsal Grid Girl outfit more than satisfies the prerequisite for flashing the flesh that most male racegoers prefer.
The 2013 uniform, officially unveiled today at the Clipsal 500 track, doesn't leave a lot to the imagination with its red and purple racing stripes and form-fitting body con shape.
Topped off with a racy, red platform heel and, more often than not, a dark faux tan, it should leave revheads hot enough under the collar.

Troubled Asset Relief Program:
GAO's Oversight of the Troubled Asset Relief Program Activities
GAO-13-840R: Published: Sep 6, 2013. Publicly Released: Sep 6, 2013.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
GAO's oversight has been comprehensive. To date, we have issued 65 products on the Troubled Asset Relief Programs (TARP) and activities and we have made 99 performance and financial statement audit recommendations. Our reviews have focused on several key areas, including the activities initiated under TARP and the challenges encountered in implementing them, Treasury's process for deciding how to unwind TARP programs and investments and the actions taken to terminate the programs and exit the investments, indicators of credit conditions in markets targeted by TARP programs, the management infrastructure for TARP programs, and the status of our recommendations to Treasury. Some of our reports have identified findings related to the effectiveness, accountability, and transparency of Treasury's management of TARP programs and its communication strategy.
Why GAO Did This Study
The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 provided GAO with broad oversight authorities for actions taken under TARP and required that we report at least every 60 days on TARP activities and performance.

A breakthrough you simply have to hear to appreciate. VOXATIV Ampeggio means there is at last a backloaded horn that sounds every bit as wonderful as it looks.
Ampeggio is powered by our biggest neodymium driver with paper diaphragm: The AC-3X
We do optimize all the resonant issues and use special tone wood for the backloaded horn cabinet that very deliberately uses no circular arcs but facetted turns to have optimal amplification while eliminating unwanted reflections and resonances.
The enclosure is produced in a famous German piano factory. The cabinet surface is covered in real piano lacquer, i.e. 1mm deep polyurethane paint polished about 10 times. The Voxativ logo is laser-cutted from brass and integrated into the paint.
Inside we use solid-core copper cable and solid copper binding posts. No crossover components or electronics of any sort are employed. The sound is optimized purely by the mechanical excellence of the driver and cabinet.
The efficiency is 100dB to pose no problems for small luxury and excellent sounding amps.

Hi! The Wealthy Mommy here with a recommendation for an amazing eye cream!
I don't know about you but my eyes are definitely starting to show my age. I was doing great until I had two kids in my thirties. My firstborn never gave me a minute's trouble. The second one, however, was a bit different. I cried every single day of my pregnancy and was very sick for the entire 9 months. Now he's a toddler and he STILL doesn't sleep through the night. So I drag around the house with dark circles that haven't just landed under my eyes but rather track around the entire orbital area. All the crying caused some significant fine lines and puffiness around my eyes as well.
My sons are exceptionally wonderful and beautiful but I do miss the days where people would say, "Wow! You're 39? You don't even look 29!" So I searched the Web to find out what products were out there. As a licensed skin therapist, I knew what I needed, but I wanted to know what others had success with that I could afford. I found this product and have had great results so I wanted to share RoC Retinol Correxion Eye Cream with you!
What is retinol?
Retinol is a derivative of Vitamin A and is found naturally in many foods and animals that we ingest.
What are the benefits of using a product that contains retinol?
- Anti-aging
- Collagen production
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness
- Thickens skin
- Lightens dark sun spots
===> Buy RoC Retinol Correxion Eye Cream
Please be advised:
Retinol is not recommended for use during pregnancy. Also, since retinol is very powerful, you may experience some burning and sensitivity to the sun. Try using it every other day and work up to using it every day.
- Amazing! 10 weeks and very serious results! ~Kristie
- I have been using this for a few years now and am happy with the results. With long-term daily use along with the RoC Deep Wrinkle Daily Moisturizer I think anyone should be able to see results. It does not make every line/wrinkle on your face disappear 100% but it will make them significantly less intense along with lightenning any dark spots. I do not find a greasy and it absorbs quickly enough that I can lay my head on the pillow shortly after applying and not worry about it rubbing off on the linens. I stopped using this for about a year for some insane reason and one day I looked in the mirror and was horrified at the significant lines on my forehead and the much more noticeable crows feet around my eyes. Ugh! I immediately went back to the daily regimen of RoC. My skin feels smooth and tighter and those horrible looking lines have significantly diminished in appearance. As with all skincare products somethings work better for some people than others. Considering I am over 50 years old and the only thing that will completely stop the aging process is plastic surgery which I'm not going to partake in, I am pleased with the results I get with my RoC. ~Susan
- The product comes in different size tubes. I have found the 1 ounce last several months for me. Looking back at my purchases of this product on Amazon, I only purchased 2–3 times a year. ~Carol
Thanks for checking out this wealthy mommy's recommendation! And always remember… To have wealth is to have an abundance, not just of money, but of all things that bring joy!

As we continue on with our customer spotlight posts we are trying to feature customers that create and sell all types of different products. Today we feature a company that makes hair care products. The company is called I Love My Fro, which was started, and is run by Harmony Knight. The brand is based out of NYC and was started as more than just a hair care product business, it is a complete hair care resource for natural hair.
Harmony spends time creating videos and other resources to help educate African-American women on how to take care of their hair the natural way, and to look fabulous while doing it. On the I Love My Fro website you will see how Harmony herself describes the company: "ILoveMyFro was created to help my fellow sisters on their natural hair journey to avoid the pitfalls, gain the confidence and lose the "good hair" mentality!"
Harmony is very passionate about her natural hair and her all natural products, so wants to show other women how to get their hair looking the best it can. She offers educational YouTube videos that are meant to help other women learn the best strategies to take care of their hair the all-natural way. Harmony also does many events throughout the NYC region, the Harmony Speaks page on the site lists out these events.
I Love My Fro Products
The I Love My Fro line of hair care products are all handmade. The ingredients used to make the products are all natural and are full of moisturizing and nutrient-packed ingredients.
The current product line that can be found on the website, includes 7 all natural, handmade products. The current product offering includes the following: Shea Butter Whip-Water Based Moisturizer, Curly Kinky Coily Cream Gel, Black Tea Leave In, Avocado Oil, Hass Avocado Deep Treatment, and African Black Soap. There is also a travel/sample kit, and there is an option to have your order gift wrapped.
The Unboxing Experience
Packaging is more than just a box these days, and unboxing a new product can be, and should be, an exciting experience. Harmony does an amazing job with the packaging of her products for all of her customers.
When we received the package from I Love My Fro we were pleasantly surprised when we opened the box. The first thing that we saw during the unboxing was the leopard print tissue paper that the product was wrapped and padded with. When we removed the container of Shea Butter Moisturizer the label stood right out with its vivid artwork. The label itself also had the leopard print design on it, which was great for the brand consistency.
The first image below is the front of the jar that the Shea Butter Whip Moisturizer is in. The second image is another shot of the jar with the packaging tissue paper in the background. The third image is the top of the jar. All of the labels used on the product packaging were manufactured by us here at SheetLabels.com.
I Love My Fro can be found in the following locations online:

Two Mass. Colleges Make 'Top 20 Sober Schools' List
The most recent college rankings of the top party schools and "sober schools'' were revealed on Monday. Guess which half Massachusetts showed up on?
According to The Princeton Review's 2015 rankings, two Massachusetts schools are among the "Top 20 Sober Schools.'' Gordon College in Wenham, Mass., is apparently the 7th most sober school in the country, and Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering in Needham, Mass., is 14th. The US Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn., also appeared on the sober list at number 9.
University of Vermont is the only New England college or university listed as one of the top party schools. However, lots of Massachusetts and New England schools were included in the review's overall "Best 379 Colleges'' list, so it seems the region is doing something right (or wrong, depending on whom you ask).
Here are the full sober and party school rankings:
Top 20 Sober Schools
1.Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah
2.Wheaton College, Wheaton, Illinois
3.U.S. Military Academy, West Point, New York

5.University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, Illinois
6.Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
7.Penn State University, University Park, Pennsylvania
8.University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, Wisconsin
9.Bucknell University, Lewisburg, Pennsylvania

The Princeton Review created their lists by surveying "tens of thousands of college students on hundreds of campuses.'' The process takes place directly on campuses across the nation, and sometimes takes several days. This year's surveys reportedly averaged about 125 students per campus.

Rap Rundown: Freestyle Frenzy
In this week's Rap Rundown, we've got a freestyle frenzy with Wretch 32 concluding GRM Daily's Daily Duppy series, Novelist celebrating ten years of SBTV, and New Gen's Dotty giving us an introspective Blackbox session.
In this week's Rap Rundown, we've got a freestyle frenzy with Wretch 32 concluding GRM Daily's Daily Duppy series, Novelist celebrating ten years of SBTV, and New Gen's Dotty giving us an introspective Blackbox session.
GRM Daily's seminal Daily Duppy freestyle series has provided some pretty memorable verses, created a lyrical showcase platform for up and coming rappers and, in a way, changed the way in which we view UK freestyles – enabling us to keep up with the unfathomable wordplay of artists like Wretch 32 with its creative aesthetics. And, to mark the end of its final series, who better to sign off with than the aforementioned north London rapper.
Wretch has made a name for himself in the mainstream with commercially successful tracks like 'Don't Go' and his unwavering loyalty to the underground scene and its up and comers has made him somewhat of an ambassador and a UK rap pioneer. But, for me, the best Wretch 32 moments have been when he's jumped in the booth for a riddling freestyle which I've had to put on repeat to even try and comprehend. In 2013, he joined fellow Movement members for an iconic Fire In The Booth and more recently, in 2015, he brought along Avelino to join him in the BBC Radio 1Xtra studio to once again raise the bar.
Last week, as 32 turned 32, he celebrated his birthday by revisiting the GRM Daily studio, bringing with him a barrage of bars and perplexing punchlines which Avelino claimed were some of 'the best he'd heard in his life'. Check out the last ever Daily Duppy session below.
Next up we've got another birthday. Last week saw SBTV celebrate its ten year anniversary with a Warm Up Session from Novelist where he took it back to the origins of dancehall, laying down a verse over Pinchers' 'Here I Come'.
Nov's creativity and innovation has been prominent from the early days of his musical career. He's experimented with a variety of BPMs, worked with an assortment of producers and even started his own independent label/movement. So to see him spitting grime over a dubby dancehall rhythm might seem unconventional but, to fans of the south London MC, it will come as no surprise.
The freestyle introduces some fresh material from Novelist, accompanied by some of his most famous lyrics to date. Press play below but beware of SBTV's warning that it could result in 'uncontrollable use of all limbs, head bopping, old skool roots-revival skanking, and grime-inspired rhythmic swaying'.
Lastly, we've got a session from a real, relatively unknown up and comer. For some, the name Dotty will have recently appeared on your radar, for others, this might be a name you haven't heard of. I'm not going to act like I'm that far ahead of the game and tell you I've been onto him for a while, as the first time I heard Dotty spit was on the New Gen album, but as soon as I heard him, I knew he was a rapper I wanted to keep an eye on. His track 'Thoughts', which appears towards the latter part of the New Gen LP, was a continuous monologue which seemed to act as an introduction to the MC. It wasn't structured with a verse then a hook and didn't feature any unnecessary adlibs or features; it was just an unapologetic stream of consciousness from an enlightened, bright UK rap prospect.
His Blackbox freestyle, below, is even more introspective. Dotty wasn't limited to the three or four minutes of a conventional album track and didn't censer himself to cater for any particular audience; he just let the beat run and opened up to take the listener on a journey which continues on a rising trajectory of passion and honesty. Check out the freestyle below and if you haven't already, grab your copy of the New Gen album here.

Juan Martin Del Potro beats Marcos Baghdatis in Swiss Indoors second round
Top seeded Juan Martin Del Potro has moved closer to a successful defence of his title at the Swiss Indoors, by beating Marcos Baghdatis for a third time this season.
The Argentine, who won 6-1, 6-2, will next face Paul-Henri Mathieu in Basel after the French player beat compatriot Michael Llodra 6-4, 6-3.
Del Potro is fresh from a successful Asia tour, winning the Tokyo title and reaching the Shanghai Masters final against Novak Djokovic after beating Rafael Nadal.
The 2009 US Open champion, ranked fifth in the world, has not dropped a set so far in Basel, where he beat five-time champion Roger Federer for the title a year ago in the Swiss player's hometown.
Del Potro's victory in 72 minutes was his 45th win of the season, leaving him with 11 quarter-finals or better from 16 events played.
In other second-round results, Bulgarian eighth seed Grigor Dimitrov beat Alexandr Dolgopolov 6-3, 6-2, winning his seventh match in a row after claiming a career-first title at the weekend in Stockholm.
He meets Federer in Friday's quarter-finals.
Canadian Vasek Pospisil reached his third quarter-final of the season with a 6-3, 6-4 defeat of Ivo Karlovic.
Frenchman Edouard Roger-Vasselin put out German Tobias Kamke 7-5, 6-3 while Daniel Brands of Germany reached the last eight as he defeated Poland's Lukasz Kubot, 6-2, 6-4.
Meanwhile, top seed David Ferrer did not drop a set in his win over French journeyman Julien Benneteau in the second round of the Valencia Open.
Ferrer advanced with a 6-2, 6-1 win and he was joined in the next round by fellow Spaniard and third seed Nicolas Almagro, who triumphed 6-4, 7-5 over Poland's Michal Przysiezny.
American fourth seed John Isner was a second-round casualty, losing 7-6 (9-7), 6-3 to France's Jeremy Chardy.

text: I hope they use the power ring/power battery with Oa and the Guardians, the Corps, EVERYTHING. Speaking of the GL Corps, which Corps members if at all would be in the film? Kilowog would be great, maybe Michael Clarke Duncan as a kind yet authoritive portrayal. Is Alan Scott going to be mentioned if at all in flashbacks and the Starheart power? Sinestro and other villains? Hopefully the film going public will know Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) is a member of an elite intergalactic police force which has members from other planets. If given the right treatment, which I feel this actually is getting, I can't wait to see what the filmmakers do with all the locations and powers on screen. Can't wait to see the making-ofs. Who'd be Hal Jordan, would the yellow/fear/Parallax weakness be featured? I'm hoping Ethan Van Sciver assists with the design process. Abin Sur even? By the way, all of this is coming from memory.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Wadesley Early Origins
Yorkshire at Wadlsey, an ecclesiastical district, in the parish of Ecclesfield, union of Wortley, N. division of the wapentake of Strafforth and Tickhill. "This was the baronial seat of the Wadsley family, of whose Hall there are still some remains. " [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of England. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print. The Anglo-Saxon estate of Wadesleah is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 in its genitive form of Wadesleia. Hence, conjecturally, the surname is descended from the tenant of the lands of Wadsley, held by Roger de Bully, a Norman noble, who was recorded in the Domesday Book census of 1086. Wadsley and Wadsley Bridge are now a part of Sheffield.
Wadesley Spelling Variations
Wadesley Spelling Variations
The English language only became standardized in the last few centuries. For that reason, spelling variations are common among many Anglo-Norman names. The shape of the English language was frequently changed with the introduction of elements of Norman French, Latin, and other European languages; even the spelling of literate people's names were subsequently modified. Wadesley has been recorded under many different variations, including Wadsley, Wadslie, Wadesley, Waidsly, Waddsley, Wadesleigh, Wadeslea, Wadslea, Wadisley and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
To escape the uncertainty of the political and religious uncertainty found in England, many English families boarded ships at great expense to sail for the colonies held by Britain. The passages were expensive, though, and the boats were unsafe, overcrowded, and ridden with disease. Those who were hardy and lucky enough to make the passage intact were rewarded with land, opportunity, and social environment less prone to religious and political persecution. Many of these families went on to be important contributors to the young nations of Canada and the United States where they settled. Wadesleys were some of the first of the immigrants to arrive in North America: settlers were recorded from the mid 17th century in the great migration from Europe. Migrants settled in the eastern seaboard from Newfoundland, to Maine, to Florida, and to the islands..

Celebrating Success with Alexander Partington
- Former School: Brayton High School
- Class of: 2007
- Studied: Fine Art & Textiles
Alex originally came to Selby College to study Fine Art, he also enrolled on a number of evening classes to support his studies, in areas of interest such as Photography and Life Drawing.
After successfully completing hid Fine Art & Textiles course at Selby College, Alex went on to study a BA (Hons) Creative Advertising Degree at Leeds College of Art for three years. Following graduation Alex went to work for a few advertising agencies to gain a real insight into the industry and valuable work experience.
In his second year of University, Alex started his own Creative Design Agency called Oslo Agency. Based in Leeds, the company specialises in Digital Marketing, Social Media, Branding and Website Design. Despite an initial reluctance to pursue a career in the Arts sector, Alex remembered back to his time at Selby College, where he was given great instructions and real advice on how to move forwards in a career and how to be happy.
Alex said, "It took a lot of will and determination when starting up my business as I don't enjoy the administration side to the job, but it is so worth it! Every day I get up and go to our converted mill in Leeds and do my dream job. I can honestly say I am very happy every day when I wake up (not many people can say that), the hard work is worth it for that alone."
Alex added, "I would recommend studying Art & Design at Selby College to anybody who wants to learn more about design but also someone who wants to learn more about themselves.
My time at Selby College was fun, inspiring and confidence boosting, the staff gave me the faith that I needed in myself and the encouragement to follow my dreams and continue with my creative studies!"

Fannie Mae and FHA Requirements for Condos in Las Vegas
Buying a new condominium can be very exciting. You can have a spacious condo in which there is no lawn to mow, and it is a great investment. However, in order to finance the purchase, most people need to obtain a loan. Two of the most popular loans available for only a limited set of condos in Las Vegas are Fannie Mae and FHA loans. When you are obtaining a loan, you need to understand the options, so you will know which type of loan is right for you.
Recently The Ogden in Downtown Las Vegas became the first condo development in Las Vegas to get Fannie Mae and FHA loan approval since 2007. This means that people looking to purchase a residential condo in Las Vegas have more options than they have in many years!
What is a Fannie Mae Loan?
Fannie Mae is sponsored by the government and looks to make homes affordable to home owners. The association buys mortgages from banks and then sells them. The idea when President Franklin Roosevelt created the program was to allow more people the dream of owner a home. This applies to condominiums as well.
Fannie Mae Requirements
In recent years, the number of condo owners who have faced foreclosure rose drastically; therefore, Fannie Mae implemented new lending requirements for condo purchases. Some of the requirements include:
• Credit Score: To be able to get a condo loan from Fannie Mae, you must have a credit score of at least 660.
• Down Payment: You must have at least a 3% down payment for the condo.
• Inspections: The condo must pass an inspection and certain criteria must be met.
• Maintenance fees: If a certain number of owners of a condo complex are more than 30 days late in making payments, it could affect a Fannie Mae loan.
• At least half of the condo units must be occupied.
• Manager review: The property manager is required to complete a questionnaire and send it to the lender.
• Condo size: Units must be at least 400 feet.
• Reserves: 10% of the association dues are allocated to reserves.
What is an FHA Loan?
The Federal Housing Administration insures these loans. They are the most popular loan available as the credit requirements are more lenient. You normally need a down payment of at least 3.5% of the loan. The loan was established in the 1930s as an answer to the increased number of foreclosures. It helps people be able to obtain the dream of home ownership. It is easier to get approved for this loan. If you have a lower credit score, you can still get approved but the rate might be a little higher.
FHA Requirements
FHA loans for condominiums can be more complex than regular home loans. Some of the qualifications include:
• Approved list: The condo complex must be on the FHA approved list. It is required to have two complexes and meet the safety guidelines.
• Condo must have good insurance coverage: It must have hazard insurance and liability insurance.
• Residential use: The condominium complex must be used primarily for residential purposes.
• Condo units must be complete: With some exceptions, such as landscaping, the condo complex must not still be under construction.
• Occupied: At least half of the units must be occupied by owners.
• Required documents: You must submit documents, including by laws, Master Deed, budget deed, insurance policy, and income statements.
• Credit score: A credit score of at least 580 is preferred.
The financing on a condominium is somewhat different, so make sure you understand how these loans work, so you can obtain the best loan available for your condo. You can then enjoy all of the advantages that come with owning a condominium.

A master of reinvention, Kilmer transforms himself into the "First American," Mark Twain, in a comedic and moving performance that is both contemporary and reflective. The piece is based on the life of the man, Samuel Clemens, and of course his writings as Mark Twain. From his thoughts on politics (including his famous disdain for the U.S. Congress), to his family and ultimately his faith and God, Twain spins a series of yarns with his timeless satire and incomparable wit.
Mr. Kilmer will introduce the 90-minute film and conduct a question and answer period with the audience following the screening. VIP ticket holders will have an opportunity to meet Val, chat, and take photos after the Q&A

Maier, Vivian (Photographer); Maloof, John (Editor) & Avedon, Elizabeth (Contributor). VIVIAN MAIER: SELF-PORTRAIT. New York City, NY: PowerHouse Books, 2013. Hardcover. First Edition/First Printing. 120 pages. Fine.
Posthumous collection of photographs. One of the most beautiful books on the photographic art of Vivian Maier. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only that sold out shortly after publication. The First Edition is now rare. A brilliant production by Daniel Power: Oversize-volume format. Salmon cloth boards with photographic reproduction on the front and back covers and maroon titles embossed on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Vivian Maier. Edited by John Maloof. Essay by Elizabeth Avedon. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Verona, Italy to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents "Vivian Maier: Self-Portrait". What began as a cottage industry is now a full-fledged global business: "Celebrated by The Wall Street Journal, Vanity Fair, The New York Times, American Photo, Town and Country, and countless other publications, the life's work of recently discovered street photographer Vivian Maier has captivated the world and spawned comparisons to photography's Masters, including Diane Arbus, Helen Levitt, Lisette Model, Walker Evans, and Weegee, among others. Now, for the first time, 'Vivian Maier: Self-Portraits' reveals the fullest and most intimate portrait of the artist to date with never-before-seen black-and-white and color self-portraits culled from the extensive Maloof Archive, the preeminent collector of the work of Vivian Maier, bringing us closer to the reclusive artist than ever before" (Publisher's blurb). Maier left behind a conservatively estimated 100, 000 photographs. Even though more than seven books and several documentaries of her life and work have already been released, they have barely scratched the surface, and there is no overlap in any of the books in terms of content. This is one of the most beautifully produced books on her work thus far. An absolute "must-have" title for Vivian Maier collectors. This title is a contemporary photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Beware: All other copies available online are in innumerable subsequent printings. A rare copy thus. 60 black-and-white and color plates. The single greatest photographic discovery of our time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER VIVIAN MAIER TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 1576876624. $150.00
