Day 29, current TV show obsession.
I don't really have a particular TV show obsession right now.

I Think I've Got A Head Ache?
'All hail the martyrs! On their blood is our Imperium founded, in their remembrance do we honour ourselves'.
Here is my most recent piece of art, a Servo Skull from the Warhammer 40,000 Universe:
Servo Skulls fascinate me as much as they repulse me. They are the skulls of loyal Adepts who have shown that they are truly loyal in life and thus are given the honor to serve the Emperor, and in turn the Imperium of Man, in their death by becoming one - nice!
It is really odd, but when ever you read a WH40K novel, you will hear (read) at some point that one or multiple Servo Skulls are flying about their business. It is creepy, I'll give you that, yet very cool at the same time. Just the thought of these things zooming around the epic Gothic cities of the grim dark future seems right. In fact, I'm thinking of donating my own skull to the cause, just so I can keep an eye on things when I'm gone.
More WH40K art coming soon.

Tucson, AZ (PressExposure) March 28, 2012 -- The Offshore Group recently recorded another podcast in its continuing series on Mexico business issues on the subject of Mexico manufacturing facility start-up under its Mexico Shelter Plan.
Leonard Ottosen, project manager at The Offshore Group's La Angostura Industrial Park in Saltillo, Coahuila, describes how companies that are new to the country are guided from the beginning of the start-up process through to the point at which actual part production takes place under the Mexico Manufacturing Shelter Plan.
The Offshore Group's sister company, Manufacturas Zapaliname, S.A. de C.V., provides outsourced manufacturing support, or, "shelter," services within the secured and gated La Angostura Industrial Park.
According to Ottosen, "The time that it takes to get a Mexican manufacturing facility up and running varies. How long exactly depends on the items that are being produced in Mexico. For example: if the operation is general assembly, a company may be looking at an average of two months to get things moving. If the company is a manufacturer that produces machined parts, does metal stamping, and utilizes machinery like break presses, this kind of operation requires more installation processes. A typical start-up period in Mexico in a case like this may range from between 4 to 6 months."

The Offshore Group is the largest provider of outsourced business support or, "shelter" services in Mexico. Currently 61 businesses operate at The Offshore Group's facilities in the State of Sonora, the city of Saltillo, Coahuila, and at the Group's Vangtel subsidiary in Hermosillo. Vangtel offers Mexico shelter services to companies that occupy the call center, IT development and BPO markets, while the International Logistic Solutions Company (ILS) is a leading provider of supply chain services. The Offshore Group has recently initiated operations in Mexico's second largest city, Guadalajara.

"Everyone watched the wedding, couldn't get enough; At least for one moment, we were right there up above." The first single off Jim Cuddy's latest solo album Skyscraper Soul is Everyone Watched the Wedding, a thoughtful ballad about the ceremony involved with the marriage of Prince William and the former Kate Middleton, but also about hope, splendour and the momentary distraction from one man's more mundane lot. A video of Everyone Watched the Wedding, as well as a second video on the song's demo process, is available at globeandmail.com. Here, the Blue Rodeo crooner talks about the song's inspiration:
The genesis of the song was watching The King's Speech, which was screening on airplanes in a month I was really travelling a lot. I must have watched it four times. I was struck by what George VI had to give up in order to lead that nation – not having to overcome the stutter, but having to give up a semblance of a normal life that he had planned. It was very specific in the film that in order to lead, to be a monarch, he had to be other than the people. He couldn't be at all of the people; he could not have anything to do with normality. I thought that was a great sacrifice, in anybody's life.
After that, I heard that two billion people were expected to watch the royal wedding. I was blown away by the number. I started reading about William, and his indoctrination into giving one's life to the nation, and the education involved with preparing him for that. It was a noble thing. I assumed it had to do with helping Britons lead inspired lives.
There's also the pageantry and the beauty of the wedding. I tried to see it solely from what I know are some very desperate straits in England, having travelled there the last couple of years. People were watching it because they wanted a break in their lives. They want to see something beautiful and uplifting, but they also want to see the sacrifice of that man.
I realized they would watch the wedding, and then go back to their normal lives on Monday. There's a line just before the chorus: "That one day, hope was all you could see." There's a another line: "Knowing all our lives will never be, but they looked so beautiful to me." I think hope is temporary. That has to be accepted. I don't think it was a coincidence that England blew up a couple of weeks later.
There's a level of helplessness in the world these days. The difference between rich and poor is certainly the greatest it's been in my lifetime, which is 55 years. I have to assume that there are people in this world who realize that they will never get out of the circumstances they're in.
I tried to have the guy in the song have very normal circumstances, but to also to exude a certain quiet desperation. I identified with him, not because I live a quietly desperate life, but because I was moved by the wedding. I was surprised by how beautiful it was. And that's the point of the song. It's not pro-royalist or anti-racist. It's just that moment that he's watching this event and not thinking about his life. And that's an important moment for him.
As told to Brad Wheeler
Jim Cuddy plays Oshawa, Ont., Oct. 14; Foodstock, in Melancthon Township, Ont., Oct 16; with a tour of Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia to follow in November.

Has anyone ever heard of this?? I was researching types of intestinal strictures/obstructions and came across this. It is caused by taking NSAIDs (anti-inflammatory drugs like for arthritis, etc). It causes strictures in the intestines called diaphragms. I started on indomethacin several months ago for a rare migraine disorder named hemicrania continua. It was wonderful! Before this medication I had a headache 24/7 that would intensify suddenly and could be bad especially if I was driving and even woke me from a deep sleep. When I saw the GI he thought I had Crohn's that was flared by the indomethacin so told me not to take it anymore. Now of course I am back to the 24/7 headache. I am wondering if I might actually have diaphragm disease since the meds for Crohn's are not helping and I just keep feeling worse, and the fact that before going on the med I never had Crohn's symptoms. I did have a diagnosis of IBS in my early 20's though. I did look up side effects of indomethacin on drugs.com and intestinal strictures was listed as a rare side effect. Just looking for some opinions!

Sorry I have never heard of this. When you got diagnosed with Crohns did they do biopsies? If so, and you were diagnosed based on those biopsies, then you have Crohns. Sorry about
the headaches, those are so miserable. Hugs!

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, ALGirl. I'm so sorry you've run into and are now suffering w/those horrible migranes again.
My family doctor just recently gave me a script
for a new NSAID called Zipsor (at least its the first I ever heard of it). I only took it for two days and then encountered just "iffy" enough gut symptoms and just enough pain relief that I then backed off and Tylenol Rapid Release was able to take over and finish the pain relief. (Thank goodness!).
I was given Toradol IV once and was REALLY upset w/the script
ing ER doctor since he was aware I had Crohn's once I found out it was an NSAID. It worked WONDERFULLY and it didn't cause any gut problems BUT it was administered improperly, not diluted enough and instead of being administered in a high port near the IV bag was administered in the first port at the IV set in my hand. I ended up w/4 superficial thrombophlebitis lumps along my wrist and forearm - and a blood clot in my axillary vein (just above the heart) and on blood thinners for 6 months.
My computer says I need to upgrade my brain to be compatible with its new software.

Thanks you guys!
Nanners, the doc did 30+ biopsies and if I remember correctly he said the result was just "inflammation". I am going to ask him about
this again this afternoon when I see him.
ChronieToo, that is an awful experience you had with the Toradol! When I went for my colonoscopy the nurse that was putting my IV in, etc, said that I shouldn't take NSAIDs because they will "eat a hole in your stomach" and then said that her doctor gave her a prescript
ion for Toradol tablets for her migraines! I did not know it was an NSAID too!!!

Yep, I've learned to NOT fill a prescript
ion for a drug I've never taken before until I talk to the pharmacist or look it up in The Pill Book or online. They almost all have some scarey possible side effects so I just look for the most common ones and then when possible check the %s of people who encountered those side effects during the clinical trials, etc. 10 out of a 1000 isn't as scarey as 10 out of 100, etc.

Toradol (ketor0lac, trimethamine) is the newest "darling" of the ER and hospital doctors in our area since it now has a generic available. Its as effective as morphine, longer acting w/less undesirable side effects and its not an opiate or whatever.
"Ketorolac is a member of a class of drugs called nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that is used for treating inflammation and pain. Other drugs in this class include ibuprofen (Motrin) and naproxen (Naprosyn, Aleve), but ketorolac is more effective than other NSAIDs in reducing pain from both inflammatory and non-inflammatory causes. Ketorolac reduces the production of prostaglandins, chemicals that cells of the immune system make that cause the redness, fever, and pain of inflammation and that also are believed to be important in the production of non-inflammatory pain. It does this by blocking the enzymes that cells use to make prostaglandins (cyclooxygenase 1 and 2). As a result, pain as well as inflammation and its signs and symptoms - redness, swelling, fever, and pain - are reduced. The FDA approved ketorolac in November 1989."

Well I talked to my GI and he does not think I have diaphragm disease but still a diagnosis of Crohn's. I asked what my sed rate was and he said it was 40 and the normal is 20.

So... you are wondering who I am and why I do this.
Well, quite simply... I love photography, racing and cars!
I first became involved in the world of photography back in 1982 while attending Roosevelt High School in Boyle Heights (a neighborhood east of Downtown Los Angeles). With a Canon AE-1 my father,
, had given me, I began to develop my photographic skills while working as a staff photographer for both the public relations and yearbook staff. With the encouragement and guidance from a good friend, I learned the principles of using the camera, how to process black & white film and how to develop the images in the darkroom. This experience served as a basis for my life-long passion in the art of photography.
From an early age, I have always had an interest for cars and racing. I love anything that goes fast or evokes the beauty and the excitement of speed. Race cars, sports cars, motorcycles, airplanes... it is this lifestyle of speed, design and engineering, which fuels my interest and passion.
I am inspired by everything I see and feel around me. The images I capture have their creative origins from the things and places I encounter around me everyday. They all have their visual elements that are influenced from the simplest shapes and forms to the most intricate styles and designs.
When I photograph racing events, the classic images of motor sports photographers Jesse Alexander, Louis Klemantaski, Bernard and Paul-Henri Cahier, Rainer Schlegelmilch, Darren Heath and Keith Sutton, serve as my inspiration when I look through the camera view finder.
My on going education includes an Associates of Arts degree in Merchandising & Marketing from FIDM in Los Angeles, a Certificate in Photography from Tri-Community School of Photography in Covina, California and I studied Web Development at Chaffey College in Chino, California. I have also completed several photography workshops and lectures, recently completing the f8 Motorsports Photography Workshop in 2013.
I currently have the privilege of being a
Sports Car Digest
- the leading international online journal for sports, racing and vintage car enthusiasts.
Feel free to browse this site and enjoy the images I have captured. If you are interested in acquiring one of my images, you can do so
Thanks for visiting and enjoy my images!

performance and homeostasis. The meniscus tissue is very susceptible to injury and
despite the great advances in meniscus regeneration area, none of the current
strategies for the treatment of meniscus lesions are completely effective. To overcome
such great challenge, tissue engineering-based strategies have been attempted.
One of the main targets in this research area is to find out a biomaterial or formulations
that are able to mimic as much as possible the meniscus native extracellular
matrix. In the last few years the characteristics and behaviors of different
biomaterials were explored and several processing routes attempted to obtain an
adequate architecture for proper cells adhesion, ingrowths, proliferation and differentiation.
Herein, a panoply of biomaterials that have been used in meniscus
tissue engineering strategies are overviewed.

Why should go to ...
As people in Myanmar (Burma) are genuinely hospitable, helpful,
especially honest, you could feel safely that your stay with
them would be much worthwhile.
Myanmar (formerly named Burma) is one of South-East Asia's
most fascinating destinations. In the diverse geographic
setting, from snow-capped mountains to white sandy beaches, and
along the legendary Ayeyarwady River, people of this golden
land, Myanmar, with their wealth of cultures and traditions,
colorful festivals and arts, the incredible architectural legacy
of flourished Empires of past, preserve their own values and
identities at best.
While only cultural plus responsible tourism have been
developed with least negative impacts, you are one among
pioneers who can see
Myanmar with its best condition of cultural
and natural heritages. Major historic places such as Bagan, most
important archeological site, dated back to early 11 century,
where thousands of Buddhist monuments still well being restored,
Mandalay, last Myanmar royal capital of 19 century, and their
environs are essential high lights for your discovery after
exploring modern capital, Yangon where world largest and most
impressive Buddhist pagoda- the Shwedagon stands for most
interesting sight.
But there is a whole lot more to be visited in Myanmar; the
beautiful Inle Lake amidst mountain ranges of Shan state in the
East with its unique style of fishing and floating villages, the
magic Golden Rock Pagoda or Kyaikhtiyo, as major pilgrimage
destination for Buddhists from all over the world, on top of the
mountains surrounded by tropical forests, and 15 century Mrauk-U,
the ancient capital of Rakhine Kingdom, for its archeological
richness in the West. Hill tribes of Golden Triangle around
Kyaing Tong, Ruby mines in Mogok valley, China road of northern
border, and unspoiled beaches such as Ngapali & Ngwe Saung in
Bay of Bengal will surely be added to your unforgettable travel

ROCK WITH YOU - Mick Morry 2013 Introduction
-Tetraploid- (Wild BlueYonder x Area Fifty-One)-Dormant,
6 inch flowers, 38 inch scapes, 4-5
way branching, 20-24 buds per scape, Mid season.
Rock With You is named after my favourite Michael Jackson song. It
must have been one of the world's most favourite songs of his
also...as they played that steadily for two days after Michael's
sudden death. Michael Jackson is simply irreplaceable for what he did
for modern music.
Rock With You has kids that simply ROCK! We have managed to get some
seedlings that have true denim blue eyes, and powder blue eyes. Rock
With You has the right sort of violet hue in the eye and base to aid
in developing better real blue flowers. It is super fertile both ways
with very large seed counts and has a mild cotton candy smelling
fragrance to boot. DBL fan $50

Animal Health Coach
What is an Animal Health Coach?
A.C.A.N. has the only education with a certificate program in natural animal health coaching in the world. Certified Animal Health Coaches are shaping the future of true species appropriate nutrition and preventative health care.
In our current veterinary healthcare system, almost no time is spent with the client discussing true nutrition and lifestyle choices for pets. Yet our world is in the midst of a massive shift – people are beginning to understand the importance of living a healthful lifestyle for themselves and for their pets.
These days, the media is paying more attention to (Human) Health Coaches than ever before and it's no wonder – people are dissatisfied with our current health care system and are in desperate need of nutrition education and high quality preventative care to find their way back to health. In like fashion, more and more people are becoming dissatisfied with the current veterinary health care system and are as well desperate for true nutrition education and preventative care for their pets.
If you are curious about what a Natural Animal Health Coach is and how to become one, you've come to the right place.
What exactly is a Natual Animal Health Coach?
A Natural Animal Health Coach is a wellness authority and supportive mentor. Natural Animal Health Coaches educate and support clients to define and achieve their pet's health and wellness goals through, species appropriate nutrition, lifestyle and behavior adjustments. Clients learn to develop a deeper understanding of the food and lifestyle choices that are naturally best for their pets, and implement lasting changes that improve their pet's energy, balance and health.
What are some attributes of a successful, Natural Animal Health Coach?
A Natural Animal Health Coach has good listening skills, a compassionate and patient demeanor and has the genuine desire to work with and help others help their pets be healthier and happier. Many people who are already giving advice on natural animal health and wellness often find certified animal health coaching a seamless career transition to getting paid for something they already do naturally.
What is the demand like for Natural Animal Health Coaches?
The demand for well-trained Natural Animal Health Coaches increases every day. The animal health and wellness industry is rapidly expanding as the need for preemptive health care grows. Not only is animal health coaching widely needed, it is now becoming an expanding career opportunity. Supporting and educating people in ways to naturally improve their pet's health and happiness can be an incredibly fulfilling career and as pet owners are seeking ways to avoid the high cost of repeated veterinary visits, and medications that only mask the symptoms for a time and never allow the pet to heal, natural animal health care coaches and consultants are being sought out.
Where do Animal Health Coaches work?
Animal Health Coaches may or may not be already functioning in some capacity as natural animal health care providers. Those who value animals for the species they are and who enjoy helping animals make excellent animal health coaches -dog groomers, dog breeders, dog trainers, equine trainers, boarding stables, natural animal health practitioners, animal massage and body work practitioners, etc. can become an Animal Health Coach. The flexibility and independence of being a Natural Animal Health Coach is often one of the many exciting reasons to create a career as a stand alone; as an Animal Health Coach.
What is the earning potential for an Animal Coach?
Earning potential for Natural Animal Health Coaches will only increase with time as more and more pet owners see the benefits of natural nutrition and prevention compared to the costs of veterinary care and the increase in diseases in companion animals today. Your personal income as a Natural Animal Health Coach totally depends on the kind of services you offer, your niche client market and how much time you plan to work with clients.
How do I become trained as a Natural Animal Health Coach?
An important part of becoming a Natural Animal Health Coach is studying in a quality program that offers solid, thorough natural animal health care training, continued support, promotion and community.
A.C.A.N. offers just this education and training via our certificate programs which include education in preemptive animal health care, anatomy, physiology, species specific nutrition, a naturopathic approach to pests & parasites, an introduction to natural healing modalities, how to set up your animal health care coaching/consulting business and more.
Our certificate programs are the cornerstone of a successful career, they establish you as a dedicated professional with the knowledge and skills to uphold high standards of excellence in natural animal health coaching and naturopathic animal consulting.

Scoring works
Bring transportation decisions out from behind closed doors.
Never before have we seen a state agency refuse to implement a new law.
Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) is playing games instead of moving forward on the law passed last year to improve accountability, transparency, and fiscal responsibility in the funding of major transportation projects -- with our tax dollars.
Never before have we seen a state agency blatantly lie about a law and what it does.
MDOT is even calling for the law to be repealed.
Please help us to stand up for more transparency, better transportation projects, and smarter use of taxpayer dollars. Ask your legislators to stay strong, stand up to this bureaucratic nonsense, and bring transportation decisions out from behind closed doors.

For the fourth time since the spring of 2006, Republicans in the State Senate have selected a new leader to guide the Republican caucus in the chamber. State Senator Jerry Behn was elected by his peers to replace Senator Paul McKinley, who stepped down and announced he would not be seeking re-election next fall.
Republicans also elected a new minority whip. Senator Brad Zaun was selected to replace Senator Steve Kettering, who, like McKinley, stepped down and is also not seeking re-election in 2012.
The first item of business for the new leadership team is uniting a caucus that has been divided, especially recently. The newer members of the Republican Senate caucus have made it no secret over the past two years that they were no fan of McKinley's, and Behn wasn't their pick to succeed him either. Instead, they backed Bill Dix, who came up short once again.
While Dix may have the fundraising prowess that a legislative leader needs to be successful at winning elections, he was severely damaged recently when he openly challenged McKinley only to withdraw his bid when it became clear that he didn't have the votes to win. It also didn't help that public opinion was against him for challenging McKinley while McKinley was out of the county. There were already a lot of hard feelings that needed to be soothed in the Senate. Had Dix won the leadership election, the Senate may have been even more divided than it is today with Behn at the helm.
Moving forward, Behn probably has the best chance at uniting the caucus. While he was not known to be a vocal leader within the caucus, Behn has been in the State Senate for 15 years, which means that he should know how the chamber works inside and out. What he will need to work on is developing relationships statewide that will help him raise the funds necessary to compete in the 2012 elections and identify future candidates.
Hailing from a major metropolitan area and having just run for Congress, Brad Zaun has developed relationships that should be beneficial in raising money for the Republican cause in the senate. Zaun's infectious personality and his work ethic when it comes to grassroots campaigning are just a few of his strengths that should be utilized in getting first time candidates up to speed.
The members of the new leadership team will have their work cut out for themselves in 2012. With just a year to go until Election Day, it is critical that they begin to raise the massive amounts of money it will take to win control of the chamber. As we saw in the Senate District 18 race, these campaigns, especially those in metropolitan areas, require a lot of money to be successful. At a minimum, the fundraising target needs to be $1.5 million, a hefty haul for two individuals who have not built strong ties to Republican donors in the state.
Once again, Senate Republicans are starting over, and it's not clear that the internal bickering between the two factions of the Senate caucus is about to cease. Hopefully, Behn and Zaun will get them to focus on the task at hand – winning a Republican majority.
Congratulations, gentlemen. And good luck.

text: Hello All Well, any plans I had today for venturing out have been shelved due to snow. Woke up at 7am this morning and looked out of the curtains - despite heavy snow forcast last night there was nothing. Great, another hour in bed and off to the pit. Looked out of curtains at 8am - blizzard and and it hasn't stopped since. Never mind, its given me the opportunity to dig a few more dead cephs out of the cupboard, dust off the camera and take a few more pics. Bit of a change of period for this selection from the usual Middle/Upper Lias stuff. These are from the Lower Carboniferous Limestone of Castleton, Visean age. Firstly Orthocones - fragmentary specimens but seem to be differnt species by the shape of the septa (I'm no expert on lower carb cephs). The big one's about 3 inches and the smaller one about 1 inch. Note the nice little gastropod near the big one. Andy

Amritsar, Dec 19 (UNI) The sixth Meeting of the Technical Co-ordination Committee of the Northern Regional Power Committee held here today unanimously gave clearance to the National Thermal Power Corporation to immediately import Liquid Natural Gas from international spot market to meet the fuel shortage in its gas power stations.
In the crucial meeting today, the committee deliberated upon measures to meet the peak energy demand of the winter months to maximise power generation within the Northern Region and decided to take steps to improve grid security so that over-drawal of power can be controlled to maintain the grid frequency to a safe level of above 49 HZ.
The Tehnical measures to safeguard the grid security and minimise the possibility of grid collapse were decided by way of introducing automatic load shedding scheme to the extent of 4000 Megawatt.
Two special schemes to protect the northern grid in case of outrage of Major 400 KV lines and Rihard Dari Line were received as these are in the final stage of commissioning by Power Grid Corporation.
With these schemes even if there is an outage of inter regional lines, the northern grid would be safeguarded against collapse.
The meeting was attended by the Director and Technical Members of all the northern States as well as Power Grid Corporations and Central Sector General National Thermal Power Corporation, National Hydro Power Corporation, Nuclear Power Corporation, Tehri and Nathpa Jhakri Power Corporation.
The committee also reviewed the progress of New Generating Projects including representatives of Central Electricity Authority including 500 MW Lehra Stage-2 Dholpur Gas (220 MW), Rajasthan Atomic (440 MW), Baglihar (J and K) 450 MW, Maneri Bhati Hydro (304 MW), Yamunanagar Thermal (600 MW) and Kahargaon NTPC (1000 MW).
Most of these New projects are scheduled to commence generation before the summer of 2008.
The meeting was chaired by Mr S K Mittar, Director Technical Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam and attended by over 70 delegates.

Phase II/III, Randomized, Double Blind, Parallel Arm Study Comparing AlloStim Combined With Cryoablation to Placebo Combined With Cryoablation in Anthracycline, Taxane and Capecitabine Pre-Treated Metastatic Breast Cancer.
Breast cancer is the most prevalent malignancy in women affecting more than 1 million women
a year and metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is a leading cause of mortality, accounting for
more than 400,000 deaths annually worldwide. Anthracycline- and taxane-containing regimens
have been established as the most effective chemotherapeutic agents for first- and
second-line therapies in MBC with respect to a prolongation of survival time. Because of
this, more women are receiving anthracyclines and taxanes early in the treatment of the
disease. Even despite this recent trend toward aggressive treatment of early stage breast
cancer with anthracyclines and taxanes, nearly half of these women will have metastatic
recurrence. The prior exposure to anthracycline and taxane drugs leaves women facing
first-line therapy for metastatic recurrent disease resistant to anthracycline and taxane
drugs and, thus, with limited treatment options. US FDA currently approved ixabepilone
(Ixempra) and Havalan (Eribulin) in this setting, but these drugs have not been shown to
provide a survival advantage compared to capecitabine (Xeloda). However, only approximately
25% of MBC patients respond to capecitabine. In addition, these approved drugs and other
chemotherapy drug options have significant toxicity profiles. Accordingly, there is a need
for new effective treatments for women with MBC that have been previously pre-treated with
taxane, anthracycline and capecitabine. This study is designed to determine if AlloStim will
provide a survival benefit to these woman.
Resistance to anthracycline and taxane is defined clinically as disease recurrence within 6
months of completion of adjuvant or neoadjuvant treatment with these agents or tumor
progression that occurs during treatment or within 3 months of the last dose of treatment.
Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator), Primary Purpose: Treatment
Overall Survival
To assess whether cryoablation combined with AlloStim treatment (arm 1) provides an overall survival (OS) advantage when compared to treatment with cryoablation combined with placebo (arm 2).
the ITT population from randomization within 30 days of accrual to death for any cause followed for up to 2 years from date of randomization

This application is related to co-pending application Ser. No. 09/283,371 filed concurrently herewith, DOUBLE SIDED RF CONNECTOR, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by this reference.
This invention relates to RF connector devices, and more particularly to structures for providing interconnection between a pin and a flat conductor.
There is a need in many microwave applications for providing RF interconnections between adjacent substrates or circuit boards. Conventional techniques for interconnecting circuit boards include the use of cables. The disadvantages to these methods include size, weight, and cost.
Coaxial connectors can be used for connecting between two mating parts, each having a soldered pin, one entering the connector from each side. The connector typically has a crimped or finger socket that "grabs" the mating pin.
There is a need for a connector for making a reliable RF connection between a pin and a flat conductor.
The invention is a connector which provides an RF interconnect between a pin and a flat conductor. The connector employs two bundles or "buttons" fabricated of densely packed gold plated wire for the electrical connection to the devices. The buttons are both housed in a dielectric sleeve and are themselves connected by a solid conductor. A feature of the invention provides an easy technique of installing the connector into an assembly. The outside body of the connector is threaded, allowing an operator to twist the connector into a mating assembly, not requiring tight tolerances to ensure proper contact.
The connector device, as a result of the densely packed wire buttons, provides a robust electrical connection, but also provides for misalignment of the flat connector in addition to variations in the exact location of the pin. The length of the pin in the mating part can vary considerably, but the connector device still provides a controlled impedance interconnect over microwave frequencies.
The connector can be installed in a larger assembly thus providing a large number of interconnections to be mating simultaneously. This is accomplished by providing clearances and tapers in the mating housing.
This invention provides a robust and simple electrical connection which also is impedance controlled, by appropriate selection of ratios of the conductor pin or wire bundle diameter to the dielectric diameter, as in a coaxial transmission line. One side of the connector provides a blind mate connection for a pin without having to mechanically grab the pin, as is needed for a split finger contact. The other side of the connector provides another blind mate connection without using solder or mechanical fastening. This end also allows considerable variation in the pin length. In addition, the body is threaded to provide a simple method for installing the connector into the entire assembly.
These and other features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of an exemplary embodiment thereof, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic side cross-sectional view of a first embodiment of a connector assembly in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic side cross-sectional view of a second embodiment of a connector assembly embodying the invention.
FIG. 3 is a simplified exploded, cross-sectional view of a connector as in FIG. 1 with an upper housing and a printed wiring board having a flat conductor to which electrical contact is to be made.
FIG. 4 is a simplified exploded, cross-sectional view of an installation including a plurality of connectors in accordance with the invention, with the connectors installed in an upper housing, and in position for assembly to a lower housing.
FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 4, but showing the lower housing in position, and with a mating component having exposed pins positioned for installation.
FIG. 6 is a view similar to FIG. 5, but showing the completed assembly.
An exemplary embodiment of a connector apparatus for providing interconnection between a pin and a flat conductor in accordance with the invention is illustrated in cross-section in FIG. 1. The apparatus 50 includes a dielectric body 60, which in this embodiment is a two piece structure including a top body member 70 and a bottom body member 80. The body members 70 and 80 are each fabricated of a dielectric material. One material suitable for the purpose is TEFLON (TM), but other dielectric materials can alternatively be used.
The outside periphery of the top body member 70 includes a threaded portion 72. In one embodiment, the thread is a #4-40 thread. The threading provides a means of installing the connector apparatus 50 into a mating assembly. The body member 70 has a region 70C of reduced diameter with respect to that of the threaded portion 72, defining a shoulder 70D. This shoulder provides a stop surface for registering the position of the top body member when threaded into the mating assembly, so that the top surface 70A is flush with a surface of the mating assembly.
The top body member 70 has a central opening 74 formed therethrough, with a gold plated wire bundle 76 pressed into the tip of the opening. The bundle is fabricated of densely packed thin gold plated wire, has a 20 mil (0.020 inch) diameter in this embodiment, and protrudes a short distance from a first end 70A of the top body member so that, when installed, the bundle 76 can make electrical contact with the mating circuitry. In this exemplary embodiment, the bundle is fabricated of cylindrical wire having a thickness in the range of 1 mil to 2 mils.
The top body member 70 also is adapted to receive a portion of a solid, electrically conductive pin 90. An end of the pin is inserted into the opening 74 from the bottom end 70B of the top body member. The pin makes contact with the wire bundle 76. The diameters of the pin, wire bundle and the body 60 are tightly controlled to maintain a specific characteristic impedance. In an exemplary embodiment, the pin 90 has a diameter of 0.035 inch, the body member 80 has a diameter of 0.060 inch, and the largest diameter of the body member 70 is 0.115 inch.
The bottom body 80 is also made out of TEFLON (TM), and also provides a housing for the solid pin 90. In addition, the bottom body provides a long hollow cylinder which houses another gold plated wire bundle 86. The bundle 86 makes intimate contact with the solid pin 90 for electrical connection. The wire bundle 86 is recessed within the opening 82 formed in the body 80, leaving an open region 84 in which a mating pin can be received. The height of the bundle is specified in accordance with the mating pin to ensure proper electrical continuity. The body 80 has a 88 which leads into the opening 82 to facilitate the receiving of the mating pin into the region 84.
The top body member 70 can be attached to the bottom body member in various ways. For example, as in the embodiment of FIG. 1, the top and bottom body members 70 and 80 can be fabricated to snap it together. This snap fit can be needed when the dimensions are so small that in some applications press fitting the pin into the body members, and/or bonding the elements together with epoxy, may not be sufficient to reliably secure together the elements of the assembly. The top body member 70 has an underlip feature 78, and the bottom member 80 an exposed edge lip feature 88, which is snap fitted into the underlip feature. The snap features could be reversed as between the top and bottom body members if space permits.
Another attachment technique is to press fit the solid pin 90 into each body member 70 and 80. The interference fit will ensure that the entire connector remains assembled. A third attachment technique is to bond the body members 70 and 80 together. The pin 90 is reduced in diameter in a section within each of the top and bottom body members. Adhesive is placed into a small hole in each of the bodies. The adhesive then captivates the pin within each body and holds the assembly together.
The body members have step reduction changes in the diameters of the holes formed therein, to provide respective registration surfaces engaging the ends of the pin 90. While in this exemplary embodiment, there are changes in conductor diameter through the interconnect length of the connector, these are matched by corresponding changes in diameter of the dielectric sleeve structure to maintain a constant characteristic impedance through the interconnect length. The diameters of the bundles 86 are reduced with respect to the pin diameter to compensate for the reduction in the hole diameter.
FIG. 2 illustrates an alternate embodiment of a connector 50' embodying the invention. This embodiment is similar to connector 50 of FIG. 1, except that the top body member 70' is threaded along its entire outer periphery, and does not include a region of reduced diameter defining a stop shoulder. This is a somewhat simplified structure relative to the connector of FIG. 1, and does not require the mating structure to have a corresponding stepped diameter threaded opening. However, the lack of a stop surface on the top body member will require care in installing the connector in the mating housing, so that the tip of the body is aligned with the surface of the mating housing.
A connector in accordance with this invention can be employed in different installation environments. One exemplary installation is illustrated in FIGS. 3-6, which show a sequence of mating the various parts in an installation. In this installation, the top body member of the connector 50 is to make contact with a printed wiring board 110 having a flat conductor region 112 formed on a lower surface thereof. The top body member 70 is threaded into a threaded bore 116 formed in an upper housing member 114. The bore 116 has a region 118 of reduced diameter to create a stop shoulder 118A, against which the shoulder 70D of the connector 50 will engage when the top body 70 has been threaded into the bore 116 of the housing 114. The housing member 114 is preferably fabricated of an electrically conductive material such as aluminum. FIG. 3 shows the substrate 110, the housing 114 and the connector 50 in exploded cross-sectional form.
The connector 50 can be employed in an installation requiring many connections, and therefore many connectors 50. This is shown in FIGS. 4-6, wherein the upper housing member 114 receives a plurality of the connectors 50 in a spaced relationship in a plurality of threaded receptacles 116. It will be noted that the receptacles are cooperatively sized with the connectors so that the length of the non-threaded portion 70C of each connector is equal in length to the non-threaded portion 118 of the receptacles. Thus, when the connectors are threaded into the receptacles such that the respective shoulder surfaces 70D, 118A are in engagement, the end surface 70A of the connector is flush with the surface 114A of the housing 114.
FIG. 4 shows the assembly of the printed wiring board 110 with flat conductor 112, mated against the top surface of the upper housing member 114, so that the exposed tips of the wire bundle 76 of each connector 50 makes contact with a corresponding flat conductor region 112 on the lower surface of the printed wiring board 110. The board 110 can be secured to the housing 114 using threaded fasteners, by other conventional techniques, if needed. This assembly is in turn mated to a lower housing member 120 which has a plurality of receptacle openings 122 formed therein to receive the bottom body members 80 of the connectors 50. The lower housing 120 is fabricated of an electrically conductive material such as aluminum.
To allow for proper alignment and mating, the lower housing 120 has oversized and tapered receptacle openings 122, thus allowing the connectors 50 to be gently aligned into the housing 120. In an exemplary embodiment, the entrance opening size is 50% larger than the diameter of the body member 80. For a body member 80 diameter of 0.060 inch, the entrance to opening 122 is oversized to 0.090 inch diameter, to provide +/-15 mil radial tolerance.
The lower housing 120 is assembled together with the upper housing member 114, so that the connectors 50 are captured therebetween. The housings 120 and 114 can be secured together by conventional fastening techniques, if needed, e.g. threaded fasteners.
The next step in the assembly process is to assemble a lower mating component 130 having a plurality of protruding aligned conductive pins 132 which are to be received in the bottom body members 80 of the connectors 50 to make electrical contact with the wire bundles 86. Instead of one mating component with a plurality of conductor pins, there could of course be more than one component 130, each with one or more pins. The pins 132 connect to circuitry (not illustrated) comprising the mating component 130. The component 130 has a generally planar surface 134 from which the pins protrude, and this surface is brought toward the lower surface of the top housing, with the pins 132 entering the pin receptacles 84 of each connector.
FIG. 6 shows the finished installation, so that connections are made between flat conductor regions formed on the surface 110A of the printed wiring board 110 and corresponding pins 132 which extend transversely to the surface 110A. Numerous connections can therefore be installed to allow multiple blind mate RF connections.
It is understood that the above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of the possible specific embodiments which may represent principles of the present invention. Other arrangements may readily be devised in accordance with these principles by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.

City still without Kompany
Manchester City will be without captain Vincent Kompany and key midfielder Yaya Toure for today's visit of Newcastle in the Premier League.
Kompany is not yet fit to return from a calf injury while Toure is still troubled by the hamstring problem which restricted him to 45 minutes at Borussia Monchengladbach in midweek.
On the positive side, defender Eliaquim Mangala has overcome a groin injury and strikers Wilfried Bony and Kelechi Iheanacho are back in contention but playmaker Samir Nasri (hamstring) is still out and midfielder Fabian Delph (hamstring) and left-back Gael Clichy (ankle) are long-term absentees.
Meanwhile, Martin Demichelis has been awarded City's first goal from their win over Monchengladbach after UEFA listened back to the conversation between match officials at the time the ball crossed the line.
Demichelis turned the ball home in the 65th minute as City looked to cancel out Lars Stindl's opener, but it was hooked out from over the line.
Nicolas Otamendi struck the rebound with his shot deflected in by Borussia defender Andreas Christensen.

Wow. I am bad at (consistent) blogging. Since my last post, almost six months have elapsed, during which time I have worked a lot, passed eighteen credits with a 3.85 GPA, and crafted only a little. Though I've been on break from school for nearly three weeks, Christmas shopping, crafting, and festivities have eaten up most of my time, and it's only now, with the New Year on the horizon, twelve months until graduation, and two weeks left of the vacation, that I'm able to get back and check in.
To go along with my triumphant return, I've decided to do NaBloPoMo for January. I have plenty to tell you, and a bunch of projects to post, so it should be fairly breezy.
So! Let's catch up: In the past six months, I have...
-put in six months at my semi-new job
-thoroughly enjoyed my season tickets to the local hockey team
-obtained a passport
-gone to Vancouver, BC for the first time
-discovered a love for Cranium (the game)
-committed to making a scrapbook of the season for one of the players on the aforementioned hockey team
-learned to use Adobe InDesign and Illustrator
-made another quilt... and a half
...And I guess that's about it, for the broad strokes. What about you?
Did You Miss Me?

AIB awaits call on sale of State's 25pc stake as profits rise to €1.9bn
A delay in floating AIB on the public markets to 2017 wouldn't be an issue, its chief executive Bernard Byrne has said.
However, he added that it would be preferable to go before the end of this year as planned.
As the bank announced it had almost doubled its pre-tax profits in 2015, Mr Byrne said AIB was ready to begin its return to private ownership this year, but the market currently is volatile.
Mr Byrne said Finance Minister Michael Noonan had floated the prospect of a sale of part of the lender in the third quarter of this year, but the top banker said the date of the IPO was not critical.
"From our perspective, that's not as important as the issue of moving in the direction of getting the business in shape," he said.
"If that slips - by three months or six months - that isn't the big issue.
"The big issue is making sure that the business is ready. Obviously we would like Q3 as it takes away uncertainty and allows you to progress towards it, but it is not the big thing."
If markets remain as volatile during the rest of 2016 as in the year so far, any new government faces the choice of delaying a sale or accepting less for the bank.
The bank's chief financial officer, Mark Bourke, told Reuters that a delay in forming a new government could also slow the process down.
AIB made a pre-tax profit of €1.9bn last year - up 72pc on the previous year on the back of new lending, continued progress on operating expenses and net credit provision write-backs of €925m.
Mr Byrne said the bank was well positioned to recover its €20.8bn investment.
The bank said €14.4bn in new lending to customers was approved in 2015, with €8.7bn of drawdowns, up 49pc on 2014.
There has also been a substantial reduction in impaired loans to €13.1bn, down €9.1bn since December 2014 and €15.8bn since December 2013
AIB chairman Richard Pym said the results reflect the scale of AIB's financial transformation to sustainable profitability over the past number of years.
"Our strengthened capital position and ongoing improving risk profile reinforces our progress and paves the way for the State to potentially sell part of its shareholding in AIB," he said.
Meanwhile, Mr Byrne also said that while it was contingency planning for the prospect of a British vote to withdraw from the EU, a Brexit would not have a major impact on AIB's business.
He said AIB's UK operation is a small share of its overall business.
"The impact of a Brexit from that point of view would be more modest in our business than it might be for others," he said.
"In the short term we don't think it presents any particular issues ... We have been contingency planning for it."
In a note to clients, Investec Ireland said the bank's continued improvement in profitability and strong capital position positioned it well for an IPO.

Parden Early Origins
Cumberland at Parton, a township, in the parish of Moresby, union of Whitehaven, Allerdale ward above Derwent. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of England. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print. Now part of Cumbria, this seaside village sometimes called Parton Bay was used by the Romans, who had a fort on north of the present village. Parton is also found in Kirkcudbrightshire Scotland, and in Gloucestershire but it is generally believed that the aforementioned village and parish has the strongest evidence of the family heritage. But early records have the name scattered throughout Britain: Adam of Peron in the Assize Rolls of Wiltshire in 1249; Robert Perton in 1249; and John Parton in the the Assize Rolls of Warwickshire in 1377.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
The unstable environment in England at this time caused numerous families to board ships and leave in search of opportunity and freedom from persecution abroad in places like Ireland, Australia, and particularly the New World. The voyage was extremely difficult, however, and only taken at great expense. The cramped conditions and unsanitary nature of the vessels caused many to arrive diseased and starving, not to mention destitute from the enormous cost. Still opportunity in the emerging nations of Canada and the United States was far greater than at home and many went on to make important contributions to the cultures of their adopted countries. An examination of many early immigration records reveals that people bearing the name Parden arrived in North America very early: Robert Partin who settled in Virginia in 1609; eleven years before the "Mayflower"; Robert and Margaret Partin settled in Virginia with their three children in 1624.
