Flying Through
- Artist: Naomi Sommers
- Genre: Folk
- Release Date: 7/23/2002
Naomi Sommers began her performing career at age six when she sang on stage at Washington D.C.'s legendary Birchmere with Jonathan Edwards and the Seldom Scene. Even before that time she had been singing on recordings for her father Phil Rosenthal's bluegrass label American Melody. From those early beginnings, she has evolved into an expressive singer/songwriter and a nimble instrumentalist on flat-picked guitar, banjo and flute. Although her musical style is influenced by American roots music, Naomi loves to create new sounds by combining elements and instruments from different genres. Flying Through, Naomi's debut solo CD, features many bluegrass instruments (played by masters including her father Phil Rosenthal on banjo, mandolin, mandola and guitar, and Stacey Phillips on Dobro), as well as African percussion, button accordian, fiddle, trombone, harmonica, and awesome solos by the artist's brother, jazz trumpeter Daniel Rosenthal. Naomi's strong, clear voice has been put to use in rock bands, with jazz quartets, in gospel choirs and singing for years with the Sommers-Rosenthal Family Band on festival stages, town greens, libraries and community concerts throughout New England. 'Surprisingly sophisticated songs. Sommers understands the subtlety of lyrics and melody, and brightens them both with imaginative hooks. Flying Through is the kind of compelling debut that announces that the artist will not be pigeonholed into a particular genre, and that promises more surprises in the songs yet to be written.' (New Haven Advocate) Naomi Sommers currently lives in Jamaica Plain, MA, performing in New England and across the country. This summer she traveled to Texas to perform as a finalist in Kerrville Folk Festival's New Folk Songwriting Competition. Check back on CD Baby for Naomi's new album 'Hypnotized' coming out this September, 2004.

Please enter a valid mileage
Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2011 Honda Element
By KBB.com Editors
Honda designed the Element to appeal to young male buyers. The original concept, in fact, was touted as a "rolling dorm room," designed to appeal to those with active lifestyles and a limited budget. Much to everyone's surprise, the Element not only hit its target audience, it picked up a number of unexpected buyers ranging from single moms to retired couples and everyone in between. The 2008 Honda Element is attractive to these folks for a number of reasons. It's economically-sized yet large-cargo friendly, and the rear seats can be folded flat to create a two-person bed. The Element also gets good gas mileage, even when equipped with the optional four-wheel-drive system.
If you love traveling the great outdoors and need a smart, affordable vehicle to transport you and your many pieces of gear without hassle, the 2008 Honda Element will work for you.
New-age styling may not appeal to everyone. Also, there is no V6 option and the Element's four-wheel-drive system is not designed for serious off-road adventuring.
No major changes for 2008.
The Element's 2.4-liter engine is very smooth for a four-cylinder and quite strong for its size, with a good deal of torque for pulling and passing. The Element will easily...
... cruise at 75 mph, and even accelerate up a highway grade in fifth gear. The Element's ride and handling characteristics are much more akin to an Accord sedan than a truck-based SUV. Once we adjusted to the long dash and squared-off hood, we found it easy to dart in and out of traffic and take sweeping curves and sharp turns with confidence. The steering and brakes operate with precision and predictable response, returning excellent feedback under all driving conditions.
Fold Flat Seats
The Element's fold-flat seats can be converted into a bed by removing the headrests and laying the seats flat and flush.
Worry-Free Interior
Waterproof seating materials and a urethane-coated utility floor give the Element a durable, easy-to-clean interior.
From the dash-mounted shift lever to the fold-flat rear seats that can be flipped up and secured to the sides, the Element's interior is unlike anything else on the road. When the rear seats are flipped up on their sides, there's a cargo area large enough to place two upright-standing mountain bikes. The front seats feature integrated safety belts and are surprisingly comfortable. They are made of a durable, washable fabric that breathes nicely, a benefit on hot days. On LX and EX trims, the floor is covered in rubber-like urethane, not carpet, so it can be cleaned up easily. The SC model features carpeting in the passenger cabin, but not in the cargo bay.
Easily recognizable at any distance, the Element's boxy greenhouse, two-tone body panels and forward-opening rear doors are only some of its unique styling features. The unpainted plastic body panels of the LX trim level cleverly and conveniently avoid the issue of scratching the surface during such activities as loading bikes or skis onto the roof rack, or leaning equipment against the fenders. EX and SC models feature body-colored panels. The lack of a center pillar allows for large and bulky items to be loaded through the side doors, but the design precludes rear-seat occupants from exiting until the front doors are first opened.
The Element features a five-speed manual transmission, four-wheel disc brakes, five cup holders, air conditioning, AM/FM stereo with CD, rear defroster, rear privacy glass, dual power side mirrors, cruise control, tilt wheel, rear wiper/washer, power windows, steel wheels, side-curtain airbags, front side-impact airbags and Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA). The EX trim adds alloy wheels and a 270-watt, seven-speaker sound system with CD/MP3 capability and an auxiliary input jack.
Options include Real Time four-wheel drive and a five-speed automatic transmission. Ordering the SC package adds 18-inch alloy wheels, a lowered sport suspension, piano-black interior trim, custom cloth seats, carpeting, center console, projector-beam halogen headlamps, a custom grille and custom-painted bumpers.
Honda employs the excellent 2.4-liter in-line four-cylinder engine from the CR-V to serve duty in the Element. This is a strong four-cylinder engine with a surprising amount of low-end torque that translates into quick acceleration across intersections and capable passing power on the highway. Fuel mileage is comparable to most small SUV's in this class and, considering the Element's boxy shape, roomy interior and large frame, that's a commendable achievement.
2.4-liter in-line 4
166 horsepower @ 5800 rpm
161 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4000 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 18/23 (FWD, manual), 20/25 (FWD, automatic), 18/23 (4WD, manual), 19/24 (4WD, automatic)

Entrepreneurs are a curious bunch. They come in all shapes, sizes, genders and backgrounds. They get up at dawn. They're first at the office and last to leave. They use productivity apps, network their tooshes off and leave no stone unturned.
At best, they make the rest of us humans wonder if it's worth getting up in the morning. At worst, well, ditto. As superwoman/entrepreneur Ingrid Vanderveldt (Dell's entrepreneur-in-residence, media personality and investor) puts it: "Entrepreneurs are barrier breakers whose optimistic view of the world combined with their creative thinking has the ability to address even the toughest of challenges, including a government's approach to innovation."
Sound crazy? Well, that's the point. Beyond what entrepreneurs actually do, exists a mindset that has them believing everything is redeemable vis-à-vis entrepreneurship.
Beyond the 'to do' lists of the most successful entrepreneurs the world has to offer lies a way of thinking that acts as the engine to their seemingly invincible take on the world. If you think like this, chances are you may be well on your way to doing something insane… like attempting to innovate in the public sector.
Ready? Here's how entrepreneurs (and maybe you?) think:
1. You like feeling like a kid
Entrepreneurs tend to act like kids in a sweet store. Nothing is off limits and their inquisitiveness is as infuriating as it is contagious. Great entrepreneurs keep their childlike wonderment alive. They approach the world with curiosity, passion, risk tolerance, and faith – as they did when they were growing up.
2. You think you can do it better
Innovation presupposes that whatever came before it is ripe for improvement. For entrepreneurs, this assumption is the driving force behind their efforts. True entrepreneurs believe almost everything can be improved upon in some way. Start to imagine what could be instead of what is… and the world becomes malleable with many of the rules that exist becoming more like guidelines.
3. You are typically optimistic
This may seem obvious, but its importance simply cannot be overemphasised. Plenty of entrepreneurs have a somewhat negative disposition. But I would argue that those who think this way generally don't get very far.
Two things tend to happen: 1) They earn reputations as terrible bosses and 2) Their businesses eventually erode because of their own self-fulfilling, pessimistic prophecy.
4. You're a rule breaker
Entrepreneurs are by nature rule breakers and dissenters. This is an attitude as much as it is a mentality. Many entrepreneurs find it hard to relate when people can't wait for the week to be over or can't wait to rush out of the office for Happy Hour. The entrepreneur's job is never done, nor do they want it to be. That's not to say that they never do things for pleasure, but they are constructing their own lives and not constricting them based on someone else's ideas or standards.
5. You're probably a gear head
This last point is a direct result of our modern-day reliance on technology as a vehicle for innovation. Technology is the global equaliser and enabler. Young entrepreneurs and start-ups need to be focused on (and thinking about) enabling their organisation to scale, delivering faster and more efficient results, and maximising workforce productivity – all of which can be supported by technology.
So whether you're considering getting your feet wet as a first-time entrepreneur, or are well on your way to entrepreneurial success, keep in mind that how you think is just as important as what you do.
Thinking like an entrepreneur requires a unique approach to the world and a mindset to help view the world as limitless in its possibilities for improvement, change and, ultimately, innovation.

NEW YORK – It's true, James Frey, you need a new literary manager.
Brillstein-Grey Entertainment literary manager Kassie Evashevski, who represented the author of "A Million Little Pieces" for more than four years, said she's not representing him anymore because of his tall tales.
"In the last week, it became impossible for me to maintain a relationship once the trust had been broken," Evashevski told Publisher Weekly for a story on Tuesday. "He eventually did apologize, but I felt for many reasons I had to let him go as a client."
Frey's story about drug addiction and recovery, originally released in 2003, zoomed up The New York Times best seller list when Oprah Winfrey named it her book club selection in September 2005. But early this year, The Smoking Gun Web site challenged some parts of the book, including Frey's claim that he served a three-month stint in prison.
Frey later admitted he had spent only a few hours in jail and had fabricated or embellished other parts of "Pieces."
Evashevski said she had chosen to represent "Pieces" because "I thought the book was the most visceral and vivid description of drug addiction I had ever read."
She told Publisher Weekly she didn't believe Frey set out to con anyone and she learned about his deception only after he called her to say thesmokinggun.com would be running a negative story about him.
She said she had kept quiet on the debate about "Pieces" because she wanted to let Frey speak for himself.
Winfrey expressed support for Frey, but days later she challenged the author on her show about why he "felt the need to lie" about the events in his book and chastised him for betraying readers.
Frey told Winfrey he didn't think of his book as a novel, despite its fiction.
"I still think it's a memoir," he said.

Nik Stauskas sure has made the most of his opportunity.
With reigning national runner-up Michigan sending Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr. to the NBA (as first-round picks) and then losing big man Mitch McGary to back surgery, the Wolverines desperately needed someone to step up.
Enter the Mississauga-born Stauskas, who has made the transformation from secondary scorer to the top player in the Big Ten conference.
The 6-foot-6 guard, who put on 16 pounds this season to get to a more filled-out 205, was at his best down the stretch for Michigan on Saturday as the Wolverines held off the Ohio State Buckeyes 72-69 in a Big Ten semifinal in Indianapolis.
Scoring in double figures for the 10th game in a row, Stauskas finished with a team-high 18 points, including four in crunch time with the longtime rivals locked in a tense, exciting encounter.
First, with Michigan's offence seemingly stalled, he had a long, covered two to pull the Wolverines within one — 68-67. Then, he made a beautiful baseline drive for an up-and-under layup to give Michigan a 71-68 lead.
Ohio State guard Aaron Craft stripped the ball briefly from Stauskas before that game-altering drive, allowing the Michigan star to get his dribble back.
"That's a shot I've worked on my whole life," a smiling Stauskas told CBS afterward.
Minutes earlier, during a timeout, he had a different look on his face, clearly asking his teammates and coaches to get him the ball as Michigan had stopped feeding him for several minutes beforehand.
Ranked eighth in the country, the sweet-shooting Wolverines are doing far better than anyone expected. They'll take part in another rivalry game in Sunday's Big Ten final (3:30 p.m, CBS) with Michigan State providing the opposition. Then, they'll gear up for the NCAA selection show, where a No. 1 seed remains a possibility.
It was a sweet Saturday night for several Canadian hoopsters.
The New Mexico State Aggies just might earn the billing of Canada's team at the NCAA tourney after winning the Western Athletic Conference with a 77-55 victory over the Idaho Vandals in Las Vegas.
Toronto's Renaldo Dixon (eight points), Daniel Mullings (18 points, eight rebounds) and Sim Bhullar (14 points, nine rebounds) are on the active roster, while the latter's brother, Tanveer, is a redshirt freshman. Aggies assosciate head coach Paul Weir also is a Toronto native.
Meanwhile, Toronto's Melvin Ejim (10 points, nine rebounds) and Mississauga's Naz Long (12 points) helped the Iowa State Cyclones beat the Baylor Bears 74-65 in the Big 12 final in Kansas City.
Montreal's Kenny Chery had a Baylor-best 16 points and Burlington's Brady Heslip added 14 points for the Bears, who also are off to March Madness.
The St. Bonaventure Bonnies' improbable run at the Atlantic-10 tournament came to an end on Saturday.
Toronto-born star Matthew Wright was held to six points as the Buffalo-area school lost 67-45 to the Saint Joseph's Hawks in a conference semi in Brooklyn.
"Baskets we usually make were rolling off the rim," Wright told the Buffalo News. "It was frustrating physically and mentally."
On Friday, Bona stunned the A-10's top team, Saint Louis, on a buzzer-beating three by Jordan Gathers.
There were plenty of upsets in conference finals on Saturday — the biggest in the Pac-12 with the unranked UCLA Bruins topping the No. 4 Arizona Wildcats 75-51. Elsewhere, No. 20 New Mexico beat No. 8 San Diego State 64-58 in the Mountain West and unranked Providence knocked off No. 14 Creighton 65-58 in the Big East … Kind of strange to see a fan with a Buffalo Bills logo and team colours painted on his face in the stands on the CBS broadcast of the Conference USA final in not-so-nearby El Paso, Texas. The Bills season — which generally isn't worth getting that excited about — doesn't start until September … As our NFL columnist and Michigan historian John Kryk pointed out, Stauskas was serenaded with the first line of 'O Canada' after he nailed a free-throw Saturday. In previous road games, he heard chants of 'USA!, USA!' … Conference-final Sunday includes Virgina vs. Duke in the ACC, Saint Joseph's vs. VCU in the Atlantic-10 and Kentucky vs. red-hot Florida in the SEC. The selection show is on CBS at 6 p.m.

Philadelphia Congregations to Conduct "Voter Sabbaths" in Preparation for Upcoming Election
A diverse group of more than 30 congregations across Philadelphia have committed to use their worship services over the next two weekends to register all their members, ensure all have proper photo ID and get commitments that they will vote Nov. 6.
September 28, 2012 - For the next two weekends, more than 30 Philadelphia religious congregations affiliated with POWER (Philadelphians Organized to Witness, Empower & Rebuild), will conduct "Voter Sabbaths" - worship services that emphasize the importance of citizenship and that will include voter registration, information on photo identificiation requirements and getting signed commitments from the faithful that they will in fact vote on November 6th. This non-partisn effort is aimed at getting 100% election participation among POWER congregation members and is part of the national Let My People Vote campaign spurred by the PICO National Network, a coalition of more than 45 congregation-
"POWER sees itself as a prophetic voice on issues of justice in this city - including poverty, public education, treatment of immigrants" said Bishop Dwayne Royster, executive director of POWER and pastor of Living Water United Church of Christ in the Oxford Circle neighborhood of Philadelphia. "But if we don't use that voice in the voting booth, few will hear us - that's why we are launching this civic engagement effort" he added.
The congregations conducting Voter Sabbaths this weekend and next run the denominational gamut and reflect the socio-economic diversity of the qacco city - including numerous Protestant denominations, Roman Catholic parishes, Reform and Reconstructionist Synagogues and a Masjid, from Chestnut Hill to South Philadelphia, from Juniata Park to Mantua.
Voter Sabbaths will mark the beginning of a month of civic engagement work among these POWER congregations. Following the voter registration deadline on October 9th, these congregations will engage in canvassing in their respective neighborhoods to collect signed "voter commitment cards" and conduct "voter ID clinics" to ensure their members and neighbors have proper identification for voting in November. POWER will then run phone banks in late October and early November urging people to live up to their commitment and go to the polls on November 6th.
Rev. Melanie DuBouse, pastor of Evangel Chapel in North Philadelphia and POWER leader comments: "We understand that elected officials calculate how many active voters you represent and can mobilize. When we advocate for new jobs policies or improved schools in Philadelphia, we know we are being sized-up in that way. Our civic engagement work builds are credibility and our stature."
Congregations interested in participating in Voter Sabbaths or the Let My People Vote Campaign in general should contact POWER at 215-232-7697.

Now, for dedicated Bat-fans, there are rarely absolute points of agreement. For everyone who favors Christian Bale's take on the Dark Knight, there's sure to be another equally committed fan who maintains that Michael Keaton is the ultimate Batman. For every Heath Ledger devotee, there's someone who prefers Jack Nicholson (or even, latterly, Jared Leto) as the Joker. Heck, even the comic books are up for serious debate, with the likes of The Killing Joke and The Dark Knight Returns being both widely loved and widely hated.
In the video game arena, however, opinions are a little less divided. You would, after all, be hard pressed to find a Bat-fan whose favorite Batman-themed game doesn't come from the Rocksteady Studios-developed Arkham series. Which is of course why it's so darned exciting that...
Rocksteady Just Announced A Brand New Batman: Arkham Game — In Virtual Reality
Yup, that's right. Rocksteady Studios, the folks behind the acclaimed Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batman: Arkham City and Batman: Arkham Knight have just officially announced the existence (and relatively imminent release) of a shiny new Arkham game — on the Playstation VR.
Which means that, come October, any of us who happen to have a Playstation VR will be able to jump right into Batman's head and solve crimes from his perspective. Which, is actually about as appealing a use of virtual reality-themed technology as it's possible to imagine.
Now, word of a possible return to the Arkham franchise from Rocksteady has been going around for a while now — but with much of the speculation suggesting that the company's sights were instead set on a Superman adaptation, many fans had given up hope of seeing the Dark Knight return in the company's capable hands.
David Haddad, the President of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, however, seems to have very much kept the faith, having this to say about the newly announced game:
"Virtual reality is expanding the video game space and entertainment overall, so it is extremely exciting to have our incredible team at Rocksteady Studios dive into this new storytelling medium with the Batman Arkham franchise...Rocksteady is one of the best at creating story-driven content, and Batman: Arkham VR will deliver a more immersive experience than anyone could have imagined only a few years ago."
Which, y'know, sounds pretty darned great to me. Now I just need to somehow get my hands on one of those Playstation VR doohickeys...
The big question now, though? What's next for Rocksteady?
And, of course...
What do you think?
Are you excited for 'Batman: Arkham VR'?

Fugitives spread bumblebee diseases
Pathogens hitchhike on commercial bees that escape from greenhouses
Bumblebees sneak out from work, too, and fugitives buzzing away from the job at commercial greenhouses could be spreading diseases to wild bumblebees and contributing to pollinator declines.
Greenhouse growers bring in the bumblebees for tomatoes and other crops that need what's called "buzz pollination," a strong vibration that shakes loose the pollen. Honeybees don't give the buzz, but bumblebees do.


text: Hey everyone...its my first post so I will try to be as detailed as I can. I just purchased an older Exmark model LZ25KC604. She shut down on me while cutting the grass and would not start back up. This mower has a 12v solenoid switch that looks to only control the starter. When I jumped the solenoid, the engine would turn over. I am getting no "click" noises from the solenoid when the key is turned to start. I only get a small click from the engine (kohler 25) when the key is in the on position, but believe that could be the fuel valve. I don't believe it to be the 12v solenoid because I would assume that it only controls the starter. Is there any way to narrow down which switch/wire is bad? Thanks in advance for any help Don

Investment Decision in Vegetable Oil Extraction Plants in North of Minas Gerais – Brazil: An Application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process in a Biodiesel Production Chain
In line with the social objectives of the PNPB (Brazilian Program of Production and Use of Biodiesel) and its "Social Seal" Framework, PETROBRAS has set up a 57 million liter/year biodiesel plant in the semi‐arid region of North of Minas Gerais State, where the socioeconomics indicators are very unfavorable. Despite the potential to boost the agricultural and agro‐industrial sector, the biodiesel plant is using mainly soybean oil from other regions. Funded by the Minas Gerais Government, the ongoing project aims to contribute to the development of oilseed supply chain in the North of Minas Gerais. To deal with these socioeconomic complex decisions, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used. Organization models were proposed for the following production chain: i) castor seed, ii) jatropha, iii) sunflower seed, iv) cotton seed, v) macaw palm and vi) soybean. For each chain, investment alternatives were analysed using the software BiodieselFAO. The organizational models and economic results will be discussed with the stakeholder in a workshop, when the alternatives will be selected. Partial results of the project demonstrate that the lack of trust between the stakeholders is the main challenge to the organization of the production chains. The AHP methodology has been proved to be adequate to accomplish the project objectives. Further researches on production chain modeling and building are, especially for the bioenergy sector, highly opportune.

Transducer probes – (a) Handheld side-fire curvilinear-array transducer. (b) Handheld end-fire linear-array transducer. (c) Laparoscopic side-fire linear-array transducer. (d) Hand-assisted laparoscopic approach
Laparoscopic transducers are either fixed or articulating (generally with 6° of freedom) side-fire linear or curvilinear arrays operating at a slightly lower frequency range of 5–10 MHz. The use of a laparoscopic transducer with an articulating head increases the ability of the operator to view different anatomic regions of the pancreas through the same port (Fig. 12.1c).
A hand-assisted laparoscopic approach should be considered if accurate laparoscopic imaging is difficult to obtain. This hybrid technique allows the use of handheld side-fire transducers to view anatomy often impossible to view with traditional laparoscopic access while still maintaining many of the benefits of laparoscopic resection. However, this added variability should not preclude well-thought-out preoperative patient, equipment, and port placement (Fig. 12.1d).
Preoperative Setup
Proper setup can significantly reduce case length and operator stress and improve patient outcomes. The patient should be supine on an operating table in a neutral position. The ultrasound monitor should be placed in a direct line-of-sight across from the operator (Fig. 12.2). If laparoscopic instruments are to be utilized, their monitors should be placed directly next to or above the ultrasound monitor. Modern laparoscopic and ultrasound equipment provide a "picture-in-picture" feature that allows viewing of ultrasonic images within a dedicated space on the laparoscopic monitor (see Fig. 12.3). The monitor should be at eye level and in the line-of-sight to reduce operator neck and/or eyestrain. When using a fixed laparoscopic probe, port placement should be well planned before the patient is prepped. Table 12.1 lists the common port placement locations and the associated anatomic region best visualized in this location when a fixed probe is utilized. The use of a laparoscopic probe with an articulating head can usually scan the pancreas in two planes when placed anywhere in the abdomen.

Scanning Techniques
The timing and method of pancreatic intraoperative ultrasonographic evaluation should be carefully planned. If the operative goal is disease staging, then IOUS should be performed immediately after entering the abdomen to assess for metastasis and local invasion that would prohibit resection. In patients with limited intra-abdominal fat, ultrasonographic views of the pancreas may be obtained via indirect acoustic coupling through the stomach, duodenum, mesocolon, or liver by utilizing low frequency and steady compression of overlying structures (Fig. 12.4). The use of acoustic coupling allows imaging of pertinent structures without disrupting anatomic planes. For cases in which patient anatomy precludes indirect viewing or violation of anatomic spaces is not a concern, direct imaging of the exposed pancreas is preferred for superior resolution (Fig. 12.5). Since a direct scan does not need to penetrate through overlying structures, a higher frequency may be utilized. It is important that minimal compression of the pancreas be performed with all scanning techniques, as even light compression can limit the ability to accurately view surface lesions and pancreatic ductal anatomy in a soft gland. Imaging of surface lesions may be improved by utilizing a "probe-standoff" technique, in which the field to be viewed is flooded with sterile saline and the transducer is immersed within this conductive medium and held just off the area of interest. Alternatively, a fluid-filled glove can be placed between the transducer and the gland to provide the conduction medium. Both techniques facilitate excellent acoustic coupling without the need to compress the gland (Fig. 12.6).
Fig. 12.4
Indirect scanning – The pancreas may be viewed through surrounding structures via acoustic coupling. This allows for initial evaluation of pathology with minimal disruption of anatomic planes
Fig. 12.5
Direct scanning – Superior imaging of the pancreas and surrounding structures is obtained via placement of the probe directly on the organ's surface
Fig. 12.6
Standoff technique – By immersing the probe in saline (a), a view of the surface of the gland is obtained without compression. This method (b) offers superior imaging of a surface lesion (M) and small pancreatic duct (PD)
Once the choice between indirect and direct visualization has been made, the next focus of examination should be complete assessment of anatomic structures. This is best achieved via systematic scanning of the organ in both and transverse planes. The longitudinal plane is also referred to as "sagittal" and is obtained with the probe oriented along the long axis of the pancreas. Similarly, the transverse plane is also known as "axial" and is obtained with the probe oriented along the short axis (Fig. 12.7). Overlapping sweeps of the gland in both planes should begin at the head and work toward the tail on the ventral surface, providing longitudinal and cross-sectional views of the main pancreatic duct and parenchyma. Examination of the head and/or uncinate process may benefit from additional scanning from the right lateral or anterolateral aspect. Visualization of the intrapancreatic and/or periampullary bile duct is best achieved via acoustic coupling transduodenally (Fig. 12.8). The duodenal luminal gas is usually easily compressed with the probe to provide adequate imaging. Rarely, a nasogastric tube may be required to introduce saline into the duodenum to displace the luminal gas or a Kocher maneuver employed to provide a more lateral approach to the periampullary region. Lateral movement, rotation, angulation, and swing maneuvers (see Table 12.2 for definitions) may be employed to visualize key structures listed in the normal anatomy section below. Color Doppler may be employed if evaluation of vessel patency is of clinical importance. (Video 12.1 depicts laparoscopic pancreas scanning technique.)

The various movements utilized in the systematic scanning of pancreatic structures
Description of technique
Lateral movement
Lateral movement of the probe along either the transverse or longitudinal path of the structure, with the probe in constant contact with the structure's surface. The most common technique during scanning
Rotation of the probe along the direction of the ultrasonic beam. May be utilized to change between transverse and longitudinal views without having to pick up the probe
The transducer surface is kept fixed on the organ, while the angle of the ultrasound beam is changed by pivoting the probe along its long axis. Utilized to obtain three-dimensional information or within confined spaces
Using the probe cable as a fulcrum, the probe head is swung in a pendulous motion while in contact with the structure surface. May be utilized in either transverse or longitudinal pathways
Normal Pancreatic Anatomy
Normal pancreatic parenchyma should have a homogeneous echogenicity similar to the liver, and the pancreatic duct should appear hypoechoic with well-defined borders (Fig. 12.9). The confluence of the splenic vein and superior mesenteric vein should be well visualized as it transitions to the portal vein beneath the neck. The relationship between the pancreatic duct, common bile duct, and gastroduodenal artery should be delineated. The aorta, inferior vena cava, celiac plexus, and superior mesenteric artery should all be visible as the surface of the pancreas is scanned. Doppler imaging may be useful in confirming structures (Fig. 12.10).
Fig. 12.9
Normal ductal anatomy – A normal main pancreatic duct (white arrows) is visualized in a longitudinal view. Also seen are the common bile duct (CBD) and the confluence of the portal (PV) and superior mesenteric veins (SMV) (With kind permission from Lichtenstein [76])

Normal vessel anatomy – Vasculature visible through the head and neck of the pancreas (P) should include: the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and vein (SMV), inferior vena cava (IVC), splenic vein (SV), and gastroduodenal artery (GDA). The aorta, portal vein, and splenic artery may also be visible in alternate planes. The common bile duct (CBD) is seen in this image
Benign fatty infiltration of the pancreas is becoming more common with increasing Body Mass Indexes and appears as diffuse hyperechoic appearance of the gland often with head or uncinate sparing (Fig. 12.11). This sparing anomaly is thought to be due to the different embryologic origins of the dorsal and ventral pancreatic buds. It is important to understand this differentiation as this contrast in relative echogenicities can be misinterpreted as a mass [8].
Fig. 12.11
Fatty infiltrate – Fatty infiltration of the pancreas showing diffuse hyperechogenicity of pancreatic parenchyma (white arrow) compared to normal parenchyma (P) shown within inset
Guidance Techniques
One of the key benefits of IOUS over other imaging modalities is its ability to provide real-time imaging guidance for needle localization or tissue dissection. Needle localization is often employed to locate the pancreatic duct prior to exposure or to aspirate cystic structures for analysis. Specialty devices are available commercially to aid in needle placement; however, a significantly cheaper freehand approach is similarly effective. With the freehand method the structure of interest is first identified with the ultrasound transducer, its center aligned with center of the probe, and the approximate anatomic depth noted. This can be done in either longitudinal or transverse planes, but the former will allow visualization of needle advancement through the entire gland. A long 21- to 27-gauge needle is then placed at an equidistance from the structure of interest related to the depth, in the plane between the operator and the probe, and aligned with the center of the probe (Fig. 12.12). The needle is then advanced under ultrasound guidance at an approximate 45° angle into the structure of interest. A syringe may be attached to the finder needle at this point and gently aspirated to confirm placement into a duct or cyst if relevant. If the intent is to expose the pancreatic duct, the needle may then be utilized as a guide for cut-down with electrocautery if the course of the duct is evident. If the duct is narrow and difficult to visualize, an appropriately sized wire may be advanced through the needle in order to cannulate the entire length of the duct and subsequently utilized for exposure.
Fig. 12.12
Needle guidance – The needle should be placed in-line with the probe, enter the gland at a distance equal to the depth of the lesion, and follow a 45° angle. The needle tip should be visible throughout the advancement
Contrast Enhancement
The use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is relatively new to the surgeon's armamentarium, with the first reports of its clinical use published in 2000 [9]. The initial application of this technology was limited to the evaluation of the right heart due to the first generation of contrast agents being destroyed after passing through the pulmonary circulation. Second-generation contrast agents are more stable, can be administered peripherally, and have indications in evaluating a variety of organ systems [10]. While the main utility of this technique has been in the investigation of liver lesions, it has found some use in differentiating pancreatic lesions. The European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB) periodically releases guidelines for CEUS, with its last revision in 2011 [11]. Based on the recommendations of the EFSUMB, CEUS has a sufficient level of evidence for use in the following pancreatic conditions:
Characterizing ductal adenocarcinomas (evidence level: A;1b)
Differentiating pseudocysts from cystic tumors (evidence level: A;1b)
Differentiating solid from liquid/necrotic components of a lesion (evidence level: A;1b)
Defining lesion dimensions and anatomic relationships with surrounding structures (evidence level: B;2b)
Contrast enhancement of the pancreatic arteries begins immediately after aortic enhancement, lasts 10–30 s, and is immediately followed by a 90-s venous phase [12]. The liver should then be assessed for metastasis after the pancreatic venous phase, using the same contrast injection [13]. The specific ultrasonic findings for each indication will be discussed below in the corresponding pathologic section. Although there is no significant evidence to recommend the routine use of CEUS to evaluate pancreatic lesions, the technique should be considered if previous diagnostic work-up is equivocal. (See Chap. 23, section "Contrast-enhanced ultrasound," for more information.)
Condition-Specific Indications
The following sections will discuss indications of IOUS for various pancreatic pathologies and focus on their typical ultrasonographic features. Images were obtained via handheld and/or LUS.
Indications: Operative treatment of acute and/or chronic pancreatitis and its major sequelae have been on the decline with the advancement of various percutaneous and endoscopic treatments such as dual drainage and rendezvous techniques [14, 15]. However, for lesions not amenable to these techniques or for institutions without access to advanced subspecialist, operative drainage of pseudocysts or abscesses, debridement of necrotic gland, or treatment of pseudoaneurysm may be required. Ultrasonographic localization of the main pancreatic duct (see section "Guidance techniques") should be considered during any Puestow or Frey procedure in which the pancreatic duct is not easily palpable.
Acute Pancreatitis Findings: Generally shows hypoechogenicity or a mixed echo pattern of the parenchyma due to edema or associated necrotic and hemorrhagic tissue. CEUS may be utilized to delineate non-enhancing areas of necrosis for debridement [16].
Chronic Pancreatitis Findings: Non-autoimmune etiologies are characterized by heterogeneous hyperechogenicity of a hard and atrophic parenchyma, frequently associated with calcifications and acoustic shadowing. The pancreatic duct appears hypoechoic, is often dilated (can appear as a series of dilations and strictures, the so-called chain of lakes), and may contain intraductal calcifications with associated acoustic shadowing (Fig. 12.13). This is in stark contrast to autoimmune pancreatitis which is characterized by heterogenic hypoechogenicity of an enlarged gland, often with a strictured duct, and rare calcifications (Fig. 12.14).
Fig. 12.13
Chronic pancreatitis – A transverse view (a) shows a hyperechoic parenchyma with calcifications (P) and a narrow pancreatic duct stone with acoustic shadowing (thin white arrow). A corresponding CT scan (b) shows an atrophic head with multiple calcifications (thick white arrow)
Fig. 12.14
Autoimmune pancreatitis – A longitudinal view (a) shows a hypoechoic parenchyma (P) and a narrow pancreatic duct (thin white arrow). The splenic (SV) vein is also noted. A corresponding CT scan (b) shows a thickened gland with a smooth surface (thick white arrow), often described as "sausage-like"
Pseudocyst Findings: Pseudocysts as small as 2–3 mm can be accurately detected by IOUS. They appear as well-defined hypoechoic masses with associated posterior enhancement and can contain debris of mixed echogenicity (Fig. 12.15). Ultrasonography can help to differentiate pseudocysts from abscesses (less well-defined cystic masses with mixed echogenicity and/or presence of luminal gas), hematomas (mixed echogenicity, fluid-fluid levels suggesting clot), or malignancy (intraluminal nodules and/or irregular pseudocyst wall) [17]. CEUS has a 100 % sensitivity and specificity for characterizing pseudocysts, which appear as a non-enhancing lesion in all phases with a nonvascular core. However, traversing vessels may be found in the early stages [18, 19].
Fig. 12.15
Pseudocyst – (a) The typical pseudocyst (M) will appear well circumscribed and uniformly hypoechoic with posterior enhancement (thin white arrow). The corresponding CT scan (b) shows the pseudocyst (thick white arrow)
Pseudoaneurysm Findings: The development of a pseudoaneurysm involving a peripancreatic vessel is a known complication of pancreatitis and can be fatal if it ruptures. IOUS with color Doppler can assist localization of the lesion, identify the extent of the vessel involvement, and help gain proximal and distal control prior to exposure.
Pancreatic Cysts
Indications: Intraoperative ultrasound plays an integral part in the management of cystic lesions of the pancreas, particularly the characterization of suspected intraductal mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs). The malignant potential of IPMNs is directly related to its relationship with the main pancreatic duct. Main branch or mixed subtypes have a mean invasive malignancy rate of 43 % and should be resected. The side-branch subtype has a lower associated mean invasive malignancy rate of 17 % and is recommended for selective resection or enucleation based on the "Sendai criteria." Included in these criteria are lesions greater than 3 cm and those that are clinically symptomatic or have high-risk features (main duct involvement, thickened cyst wall, mural nodules, positive cytology, main duct size 5–9 mm, or abrupt change in caliber of pancreatic duct with distal pancreatic atrophy) [20]. Each of these features is identifiable by ultrasound. IOUS has been shown to be more sensitive than, and equally specific as EUS or CT for the diagnosis of IPMN, with improved ability to assess the extent of ductal involvement [21]. If there is no suggestion of main duct involvement, IOUS may be utilized to determine the extent of the resection required. Recent studies have shown that enucleation for solitary cystic lesions not involving the main duct may be a viable option for resection [22, 23]. IOUS is an important tool for safely performing localized resection of small lesions, as it can delineate surrounding vessels and ducts. Anatomic proximity of a cyst to the main pancreatic duct may influence the decision to enucleate versus resect because of the risk for pancreatic fistula. Cysts that are less than 2 mm from the main pancreatic duct have a risk of pancreatic fistula development nearing 60 %, whereas those more than 2 mm from the main pancreatic duct are associated with a 19 % incidence of fistulization [24]. Intraoperative ultrasound may also be useful to characterize non-IPMN cyst anatomy or assist in obtaining aspirates for diagnosis [25, 26]. However, as most of this can now be done via EUS preoperatively, the role of IOUS is to delineate anatomy for resection.

Bedroom, a place for relaxation. A bedroom when designed with Feng Shui principles becomes a pleasurable place to live in. A good sleep at night or a short nap, everything becomes easy for you. The quality of a good bedroom comes from a sensational; spiritual energy flow into the room which nourishes our soul.
Feng Shui helps you to sustain ultimate bed rest and it connects you with your partner and to yourself, which is a very important aspect of the human race.
According to Feng Shui your bed is the most important furniture in your life, as it provides the ultimate relaxation of body and mind.
Bedroom as per Feng Shui:-
- The bed you sleep in should be very comfortable.
- Avoid keeping goods under the bed. Having goods under your bed may restrict the proper circulation of energy inside the room.
- Allow fresh air to circulate throughout the bedroom.
- Avoid placing a mirror behind your bed, and beside your feet position.
- Avoid sleeping underneath of a beam. A beam might bring negative energies into the room,if you have a beam over your bed position cover it up with a piece of cloth; such that it vanishes the negative effect.
Proper color selection:-
- Proper selection of color is very important. Your bedroom should always be painted in a soft color which suits your energy such that you can rest properly.
- Red is an aggressive color,so you may not get a proper sleep in your bedroom. Use light colors for the walls. Light shades of yellow or blue is preferable .
A view of the door from your bed:-
As per Feng Shui the bed you sleep in should view the door or else it can lead you to some unusual conditions. However the bed should not face the door. Place objects that attracts more of your attention. Feng Shui believes placing of objects which reminds your ambition/goal is a good sign for your career.
An art work can be placed in a bedroom to motivate the kids. Knowledge books,novels are the tools for one's development. However avoid having too many books, as too many books can make you feel overwhelmed.
Some important tips:-
- Always use couples(pairs) in a bedroom : Having two pillows side by side on your bed attracts your partner,creating a passionate relationship.
- A painting on your wall should have two people in the picture.
- If you have candle sticks inside your bedroom make sure the candles are in pairs.
Good headboard:-
It is very important to have a good headboard.During your sleep your body passes through several stages, so your head needs a good support.
A good mattress:-
A good mattress is also an essential requirement

Big 3, Celtics Roster Dominate Cleveland
Boston's Big 3 came through with a collective 64 points to lead the Celtics to win in convincing fashion over the Cleveland Cavaliers 120-88 yesterday at the Quicken Loans Arena. Cleveland's attention was initially directed towards Rajon Rondo following his phenomenal Game 4 stat line. As LeBron and Co. shut down the young PG in the first half, it was the usual suspects were able to rise to the occasion between Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett.
Once the Cavs shifted to keep the veteran trio honest, Rondo found space to spark a run in the third with 12 points. Rondo finished the night with 16 points and seven assists. Glen 'Big Baby' Davis was a key contributor off the bench with 15 points and four rebounds. "That's the beauty of our team, it's what makes us so dangerous," said Pierce. "You look at Cleveland, you know you gotta stop LeBron. With us, it's any number of guys. We've got four or five guys who can lead us in scoring in me, Rondo, Ray, Garnett, and Wallace. That's why we're so dangerous, different guys are stepping up on different nights."
One player who failed to step up was Cavaliers franchise player LeBron James. His 15 points from 3-of-14 from the field may be his last game representing the city of Cleveland at home. The 2X MVP has previously made clear that he will keep his options open during his upcoming free agency period this summer.
With a 3-2 series lead, the Celtics will try to shut the door in Game 6 this Thursday at the Garden. "We cannot come back here," said Garnett. "We have to think this is our Game 7 coming up and we cannot afford to have the best team in the league have a Game 7 on their floor. Just not possible." Boston Celtics playoff tickets are still available with us at Ace!

New Smartphones, Including iPhone 5, Less Toxic Than Older Models
Recent models including Apple's iPhone 5 and the Samsung Captivate are less hazardous than old handsets, according to a new chemical analysis.
The new study offers encouraging results of tests on handsets which measured the amount of toxins these gadgets would unleash into landfills if not properly recycled.
The study partners, iFixit and HealthyStuff, found a promising trend showing that no phones made after 2010 were rated to be of "high concern".

By flexibility, I mean how you have the option to go light or dark based on the amount of spray. I am a huge Smooch Spritz fan because of the variance you can get by layering the color (same) or adding in a new color on top (I added silver foil) for a different effect.
Ok, so I should have read the description better, but these metal plates are really small! They are very cute and very well made, but at 1 1/2 inches square, they are easily lost in larger designs.

Posted from Oslo, Oslo, Norway.
The Swiss doctor and nutritionist Maximilian Bircher- Benner is known as the creator behind this delicious breakfast dish. Bircher, a pioneer in the field of nutrition, developed this recipe for the patients at his sanitarium in Zürich who were on a strict diet of fruits and vegetables. He was strong believer in raw foods- after claiming eating raw apples cured him of his jaundice- and he believed raw foods held the most nutritional value as they contained direct energy from the sun.
Bircher was a strong believer in harmony between people and nature -given the name of his clinic, "Vital Force"- and it was his observations of the shepherds in the Swiss Alps with their simple and healthy way of living that contributed to many of his ideas.
So not only is this dish delicious, but it is healthy ( and easy to make) too!
Learn to make it yourself:
Bircher Muesli via My Little Gourmet
- 2 cups/150g rolled or quick oats
- 1¾ cups/420ml milk
- ¼ cup/60ml apple juice
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 apple, cored and grated with the peel
- 1-2 tablespoons honey
- 1½ cups/375g plain yogurt
- A dash of cinnamon (optional)
- Toppings : your favorite fresh and/or dried fruit, nuts, toasted coconut, etc.
- Our favorites: blueberries, strawberries, raisins and hazelnut

Citi Philippines, the country's largest foreign bank, recently marked the 30th anniversary of serving corporate clients in the country with Direct Custody and Clearing Services. Asia Head Jeffrey Williams flew in to celebrate this milestone with clients and hosted an intimate reception at The Peninsula Manila. Joining him were ASEAN Head Amol Gupte, Philippines CEO Aftab Ahmed, Markets & Securities Services Head Paul Favila, and Securities Services Director Theresa Reyes.
Citi has also announced that it will begin offering account operator services to broker-dealers in the Philippines, a first in the country. By using this service, clients can establish and maintain market visibility in the country, while minimizing their operational footprint by leveraging Citi's post-trade processing infrastructure, local expertise and market connectivity. Through this service, Citi is meeting the demand for low cost, proven infrastructure and lowering the entry barrier for broker-dealers entering into the Philippines market.
This launch is in line with the efforts of various regulators in developing the local capital market. Account operator allows for a faster "time to operate" for broker-dealers who want to set-up their presence in the Philippine equities market by allowing the outsourcing of broker-dealer functions to a third party service provider.
Addressing clients at the event, Williams said that the account operator services will "connect global customers to the global markets." He said there has been an acceleration of regulatory change since the financial crisis and that for many clients, it is not just about choosing a custodian with operational capability and service standards. They also need to look for a custodian with the proper risk and control environment. Citi's direct custody network covers 63 markets across the globe, and it has added 12 markets to the said network since the financial crisis.
