WHEN IT COMES TO SEEKING MEDICAL HELP, men tend to have tunnel vision. They see doctors and no one else. Which leaves an essential supporting cast waiting in the wings—people who aren't M.D.'s or D.O.'s but who can still help prevent the big DOA. We're talking about everyone from pharmacists to physical therapists, dentists to optometrists. Heck, even massage therapists play a part. "All of these health professionals are critical players on your health-care team," says Ted Epperly, M.D., a Men's Health family-medicine advisor. "Yes, they can fill cavities and prescribe contact lenses, but they're also important watchdogs for your overall health and for potentially saving your life." The catch: You have to know how they can help in order to take full advantage of their skills. Ready to assemble a true medical A-Team? Read on. And remember, if one of these professionals does spot something, you should see a medical doctor—often a specialist—for a follow-up.
Health detective: Your dentist
Even if you brush and floss as if a hygienist were looking over your shoulder, your mouth may still hold a dirty secret: oral cancer. What's that you say? You never smoked or chewed tobacco? Doesn't matter. You may be at risk for a form of oral cancer caused by HPV, a virus transmitted through oral sex. So open wide for your dentist. "We look for any lesions on the back of your throat, inside your cheeks and gums, and under your tongue as part of our regular exam," says Kenneth Young, D.D.S., the Men's Health dentistry advisor. You should also ask your dentist to check for these more subtle signs of trouble.
A Floppy Tongue
If you don't have a bed partner to kick you, you may never know that you're a hard-core snorer. That's risky because snorers are more likely to suffer from sleep apnea, a condition in which the airway is cut off by an obstruction. Fortunately, during a dental exam your head is tilted back, allowing your dentist to see if your tongue slips back or if your soft palate might collapse during sleep, says Dr. Young. Some dentists are trained to help manage sleep apnea, but most will refer you to a sleep specialist.
Weak jawbone
Dental x-rays can be a valuable window into the overall state of your skeleton. Specifically, studies have linked the bone-mineral density of a person's lower jaw to that of his spine and hips. "Because patients come to see us once or twice a year, we can compare x-rays and catch bone loss early," says Dr. Young. And before you dismiss osteoporosis as an old-lady problem, consider this: As many as one in five men will develop the condition, according to a 2008 Mayo Clinic review. If caught early, bone loss can be stopped and even reversed with strength training and a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, says Dr. Young.
Bad teeth
High blood sugar doesn't cause cavities, but it can still screw up your teeth—and worse, lead to diabetes. In a 2011 study, Columbia University scientists were able to correctly diagnose prediabetes and diabetes in 73 percent of people just by looking for a combination of gum trouble and four or more missing teeth. The reason: High blood sugar is high-octane fuel for oral bacteria. If your dentist tells you that your oral health is this bad, consider seeing your primary-care doctor for a hemoglobin A1c test. The Columbia researchers found that adding this blood-sugar test boosted identification of prediabetes and diabetes to 93 percent.
Health detective: Your optometrist
You know to book an appointment with an eye doctor when you need a new pair of specs, but did you know that an optometrist can peer right inside your body, too? "The eyes are the only place in your body where we can directly examine blood vessels without making an incision," says Stephanie S. Chan, O.D., a private-practice optometrist in Los Altos, California. "They're representative of vessels throughout your body."
Narrow blood vessels
An eye exam is an essential (and painless) tool for early disease diagnosis. Diabetes can show up as small areas of bleeding in your retinas, while irregular, narrow blood vessels in your retinas are one of the first signs of high blood pressure, says Chan. In fact, people who had narrow blood vessels in their retinas were 60 percent more likely to develop severe hypertension over the next 10 years than those with wider vessels, according to a recent Australian study.
Rings around your cornea
You might see slight discoloration, but your optometrist sees trouble. A gray or white arc around your cornea—a condition seen more often in men than in women—may indicate high cholesterol, says Chan. A 2010 study in the American Journal of Ophthalmology found that people with high LDL (bad) cholesterol were 94 percent more likely to have the telltale arcs around their corneas.
Poor peripheral vision
Your skills on the basketball court aren't the only thing at risk. Poor peripheral vision could indicate a time bomb in your brain. Ask your optometrist to perform a "visual field" test; it assesses your peripheral vision and may pick up on tumors that impact your visual system, says Chan. Optometrists may also suspect a brain tumor if they spot a swollen optic nerve when peering into your dilated eyes. "Tumors increase the pressure of fluid in your brain, pushing on the optic nerve and causing it to swell," says Chan.

"Somebody chose power and control over his family and that meant, 'If I can't have them, nobody can"
It sounds a lot like America's policies with Foreign Countries. Maybe it is more of a society problem in the U.S. I suppose we can argue that most of U.S. Policy is the way it is because of males in control?
Either way, this just isn't a problem in Domestic Violence it runs deeper than that.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Canada's Chan settles for bronze at Grand Prix Final; Virtue, Moir take silver
SOCHI, Russia - Patrick Chan is leaving the Grand Prix Final of figure skating with a bronze medal and plenty of disappointment.
The reigning world champion, who was second after the men's short program, barely made the podium after finishing just 0.04 points ahead of Spain's Javier Fernandez on Saturday.
Japan's Daisuke Takahashi won gold despite falling on his opening quad, while his compatriot Yuzuru Hanyu finished second.
Chan also fell on his initial quad, which was to be a combination with a triple toe-loop.
"To be honest, I'm pretty disappointed with my performance today," said the Toronto native, who was the two-time defending champion at the event. "Looking at the whole program I think there were a lot of good things also — I did the triple axel-triple loop sequence, those two jumps that I missed at Cup of Russia.
"So each competition I'm kind of tuning in onto every little detail of the program, which is what I like to see."
Takahashi recovered from his opening fall to land a quad toe-loop, but made other errors including a hand down on a triple-double. He took gold with mixed emotions.
"Of course I am the champion of the GP Final but there's a lot to be done, there's a lot of challenges and issues that remain," he said.
Chan wasn't the only Canadian going home with a medal and things to work on. World champions Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir settled for silver in ice dancing after losing out to Americans Meryl Davis and Charlie White.
"It was a great skate for us," said Virtue. "We had to fight through it but that's not surprising considering the intensity of the competition. We are where we want to be at this point and we just have to go home and fine tune the program. There's a lot of room to grow."
Virtue, from London, Ont., and Moir, from Ilderton, Ont., both in all black, made a moving interpretation of the classic "Carmen" story.
"It was definitely a program we had to work through, but our execution was spot-on today. We had a really good, strong technical skate and we were able to bring the motion as well. So that's exciting, especially in this venue, to lay down two strong skates," Moir said, referring to the Iceberg arena's future role as host for figure skating at the 2014 Olympics.
Davis and White performed an array of complex moves, including one in which he appears to drop her but holds on with one hand while she wraps her legs around one of his.
Both duos said the ease they showed on the ice was deceptive.
"It was one of those skates when nothing really came easily, we felt like we had to fight through it but that's OK," Davis said. "It's good to have skates like that, and it's really times like that where we feel we grow the most."
Nathalie Pechalat and Fabian Bourzat of France took bronze.
In women's singles, Japan's Mao Asada used a clean free program that ranged from sprightly to quietly refined to win gold ahead of American Ashley Wagner. Japan's Akiko Suzuki was third.
Asada landed six triples in her program to excerpts from Tchaikovsky's "Swan lake," a musical choice that delighted the Russian spectators to boost Asada's spirits.
"When it began, I head some people clapping and I was happy to hear that," she said. "Looking back on my performance there were no major mistakes, so that's a great takeaway from today."
Asada's only significant misstep was doubling what would have been her seventh triple of the program. But her presentation followed the music's emotional range, from the dreamy opening to its lively conclusion.
Wagner, who was just half a point behind Asada heading into the free skate, fell twice and ended up a distant second.
Wagner said her second fall, a frontal plunge on a double axel in combination after a triple loop "was a bit of a freak fall. But to have such a hard fall and then go and complete the triple flip of that quality is definitely something I can take away from this competition."
She'll also take away some pain from the fall. The team doctor told her she injured a hip.
"I can't tell you what that is but I can tell you it really hurts," Wagner said. "For me, I always like to go big or go home, so when I fall I like to fall really hard."
In pairs, Russia's Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov won gold. Meagan Duhamel Lively, Ont., and Eric Radford of Balmertown, Ont., finished fourth just ahead of Kirsten Moore-Towers of St. Catharines, Ont., and Dylan Moscovitch of Toronto in fifth.
"That was one of our strongest long programs this year," said Duhamel. "The throws were a lot cleaner, the twist was great and the side-by-side Lutz was good. We took the time to perform the program well. Unfortunately we had one major error that was costly."

I truly enjoyed my stay at the Scandic Grand Central Hotel. Great location, very clean room and bathroom, very friendly and helpful staff and good breakfast.

We took a look at both of WD's 4TB hard drive options in the past month, so it's a great time to get some Seagate action going. The Constellation ES.3 competes with WD's RE in the enterprise space, but it brings an interesting feature to the table: a 128MB cache. So let's give the the drive a good test and see if it can topple the RE drive we raved over.
Similar to HD Tune, AIDA64's built-in disk benchmarker is one of the easiest to run. The developer also keeps up on top of architectural trends so that you feel confident that the algorithms don't get much better than this. This spreads beyond the storage benchmark, as AIDA64's system stress-testers is one of the best, if not the best, out there – thanks to it being able to take full advantage of any given CPU architecture.
For our testing, we run the Linear Read and Random Write tests. Because AIDA64 by default automatically chooses a cluster size (which changes at random), we force it to use 64KB for our testing.
Not one to break from tradition, AIDA places Seagate's ES.3 drive ahead of WD's RE, though the RE managed to deliver a far more attractive buffered result – strange, given the Seagate has more cache.
Though the ES.3 drive "wins" this battle against the RE drive, both come out as equals as far as I'm concerned. Nothing can remotely touch WD's VelociRaptor where mechanical latancies are concerned – at least on the consumer side.

Bread for the City
DC's largest urban rooftop farm! This garden produces fresh, healthy food for use in Bread for the City's pantries and cooking workshops — and, more importantly, they will be spaces that foster reflection, learning, and dialog about health and food justice, across lines of class, race, and age. dc greenworks provided the technical support, to transform an existing 3,000 sf extensive green roof into an intensive green roof that will feature 30 raised beds that will grow a variety of vegetables and herbs. The garden was built over a 3 day span with dozens of staff, community volunteers, donors, and dcg staff.

Arizona Cardinals release DT Anthony McCloud
One player who will not be helping fill the void left by Darnell Dockett is Anthony McCloud.
The Arizona Cardinals announced Thursday they had released the 6-foot-2, 313 pound lineman. A second-year pro out of Florida State, McCloud spent time on the team's practice squad after signing last September.
McCloud, 25, did not collect any stats in the team's first two preseason games.

An epidemiological approach to the etiology of middle ear disease in The Netherlands.
ABSTRACT The etiology of middle ear disease in Nijmegen, The Netherlands was studied on the basis of a data set collected in a prospective epidemiological study on otitis media with effusion (OME) in a cohort of 1439 preschool children. A factor analysis was used to evaluate two hypotheses: (1) that OME, acute otitis media (AOM), common cold and tonsillitis are manifestations of the same pathological entity, and (2) that a group of children can be distinguished who develop these conditions more frequently than average. The results only partly supported these hypotheses. The correlation between OME, AOM, common cold and tonsillitis was lower than expected from a review of the literature. Common cold appeared to be the ubiquitous ENT disease in childhood and, depending on the child's predisposition, could be accompanied by OME, AOM or tonsillitis. The course of middle ear and upper airway disease showed a gradual scale from "healthy" to "ill" with most of the children suffering from these conditions at an average frequency.

ABSTRACT: To estimate the occurrence of and associations between upper respiratory tract infections in preschool children, and to assess constitutional and environmental factors as determinants of these infections. Population-based cross-sectional study. Oslo, Norway. Preschool children, aged 4 to 5 years (3853 completed questionnaires). Acute and recurrent acute otitis media, tonsillopharyngitis, common cold, and rhinitis. Upper respiratory tract infections were common at age 4 years. During the last month, 7.1% of the children had acute otitis media and 7.5% experienced tonsillopharyngitis. Corresponding figures for common cold and rhinitis were 58.3% and 16. 4%, respectively. During the last 12 months, 9.5% of the children experienced more than 1 bout of acute otitis media, 6.9% had more than 1 tonsillopharyngitis episode, 47.7% contracted more than 2 common colds, and 3.2% had rhinitis weekly or monthly. The lifetime prevalence of recurrent acute otitis media (>/=4 episodes in any 12-month period) was 12.7% (n = 473). Bivariate correlations showed small-to-moderate relationships between the infections. Common cold was only weakly related to otitis media, tonsillopharyngitis, and chronic rhinitis. The probability for developing acute otitis media was almost 4-fold increased in children who had tonsillopharyngitis in the last year (adjusted odds ratio = 4.19; 95% confidence interval, 3.09-5.66). In logistic regression analysis, atopic disease was a strong determinant of all upper respiratory tract infections. Low birth weight increased the risk of acute otitis media. Day care attendance and the presence of siblings, which were considered to be indicators of exposure to respiratory pathogens, increased the risk of upper respiratory tract infections. In preschool children, acute otitis media, tonsillopharyngitis, and common cold were quite common, while chronic rhinitis was less prevalent and strongly associated with atopic disease. Attendance at day care centers increased the risk of upper respiratory tract infections in this age group, although the effect was weaker than that in younger children.Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery 11/2000; 126(10):1201-6. · 1.78 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: To estimate the relative contribution of genetic and environmental effects on the variance in the liability of recurrent tonsillitis. Retrospective questionnaire data from a population-based cohort. Population-based data from Norway. A total of 9479 Norwegian twins born between January 1, 1967, and December 31, 1979, identified through the Medical Birth Registry of Norway. Main Outcome Measure Recurrent tonsillitis. The lifetime prevalence of recurrent tonsillitis was 11.7% (95% confidence interval, 11.0%-12.3%), with a significant predominance of female cases. The tetrachoric correlations for monozygotic twins were 0.71 for males and 0.60 for females. For dizygotic twins, the correlations were 0.12 for males, 0.14 for females, and 0.24 for dizygotic pairs of opposite sex. Structural equation modeling indicated that genetic effects explained 62% of the variation in the liability of recurrent tonsillitis. The remaining variance was attributed to individual environmental effects. There was no evidence of sex-specific genetic effects on the liability of recurrent tonsillitis. There is evidence for a substantial genetic predisposition for recurrent tonsillitis.Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery 06/2005; 131(5):383-7. · 1.78 Impact Factor

By Trefis:
Merely months after unveiling its software-defined networking (SDN) strategy in January, Juniper Networks (JNPR) put some of those plans in action by launching its first programmable core switch last week.
By Jay Wei:As enterprise IT continues its current transformation to rely on the Internet to handle computing tasks, not only software providers must adapt to more cloud uses of their applications, networking equipment makers such as Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO) also have to address the resulting need for comparable networking hardware.
By Trefis:
Juniper Networks (JNPR) seems to have finally woken up to the threat that software-defined networking (SDN) poses to its business.
By Zeus Kerravala:There has been no technology in networking that has had as more hype or confusion around it than Software Defined Networks (SDNs). In November alone we have seen a number of networking vendors announce SDN related products, including Cisco's (CSCO) $840 million acquisition of Insieme, and related Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) product launch.

She was only 42 and she was married to a snowplow operator.
The years fall away and the details come into sharp focus as Dr. Gary Gilliland recalls meeting the patient who would shape the trajectory of his career.
She'd been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, then given chemotherapy, went into remission – and relapsed six months later. The follow-up treatment wiped out her leukemia but her bone marrow never came back and the severe fungal infections she developed were killing her.
Gilliland, a young intern at the time, was at her side when her family arrived to say goodbye. He watched her children climb into bed with her for the last time. About 20 minutes later, she died.
"We had all the best intentions, but she died of complications from the chemotherapy we gave her," he said. "I just thought there has to be a better way. We have got to develop better treatments for people like her."
Now, all these years later, after decades of research, cures for cancer are in sight -- particularly at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, he said.
On Jan. 2, Gilliland will become the new president and director of Fred Hutch where he'll play a key role in helping those cures he once dreamed of become reality. The research center announced his new position today, following a national search.
"This is the perfect time and perfect place to develop curative approaches for cancer," said Gilliland, a physician-scientist. "Everything I've done in my career has pointed here."

' ENDOSCOPE DEVICE I Filed Nov. 26, 1965 I 2 Sheets-Sheet 1 5 FIG. 1'
IN\ EN'I:OR. ALFRED BOTTCHER A. BOTTCHER ENDOSCOPE DEVICE Feb. 13, 1968 2 Sheets-Sheet Filed .Nov. 26, 1965 Rm mm mn v o N B D E R F L A United States Patent 3,368,552 ENDOSCOPE DEVICE Alfred Btittcher, Leipzig, Germany, assignor to VEB Medizintechnik Leipzig, Leipzig, Germany Filed Nov. 26, 1965, Ser. No. 509,831 8 Claims. (Cl. 1284) The invention relates to an endoscope device in which a lever is arranged for controlling the manipulation of ureteral catheters or flexible instruments used in surgical operations.
An endoscope is known in which the control lever is disposed in a portion thereof closer to the objective of the device and pivotably arranged on a fork-shaped taut wire. Both end portions of the taut wire are secured to a toothed segment which in turn is engaged by a pinion having hand wheels operatively associated therewith. The segment experiences axial displacement upon rotation of the hand wheels resulting in subsequent swiveling of the control lever. The taut wire, in this known endoscope, is guided in conduits disposed within the instrument shaft. The guiding conduits are secured to the inner wall portion of the shaft or to a shaft attachment serving to receive the optical means or directly to the optical conduit itself.
It has been proposed in connection with endoscope devices to replace the guiding conduits by a T-shaped member having a pair of channels therein. The T-shaped member becomes secured, at the wider side thereof, to the shaft in a fashion resulting in a path for the taut wire which runs parallel to the lateral axis of the instrument.
In another known endoscope a wedge-shaped intermediate ohamber is formed in a side portion of the shaft, which comprises a pair of integrally connected conduits for receiving the optical means and the operating instruments therein, and a rod connected with the control lever. The rod is manipulated over a toothed segment by means of a spring loaded lever arranged on a portion of the endoscope near the ocular.
The known endoscopes, particularly the ones discussed above, exhibit a disadvantage in that the lever rod, the taut wires and the guiding conduits require extra space in addition to the one assigned to receive the optical means and the operating instrument. This circumstance is necessarily accompanied by a corresponding increase in the over-all cross-sectional area of the device. Furthermore, if need arises to have the field of view illuminated, especially under circumstances requiring high quality illumination and subsequent picture transmission, this illumination can be attained only by improved illuminating devices, such as a glass optical fibre bundle type device, which requires more space than conventional illuminating equipment, while at the same time requiring an additional duct of appropriate size to be left available for other purposes. These requirements will, of necessity, lead to an increase of the cross-sectional area of the device. Serious technical problems must also be solved in connection with the parallel arrangement of the wire guiding conduits on the inner wall of the optical conduit.
Accordingly, an object of the invention is to provide an improved endoscope which eliminates the shortcomings associated with known endoscopes.
A further object of the invention is to provide improved operating means for the control lever of an endoscope device such that 'a decrease in the operational diameter of the device can be achieved.
In accordance with the invention, an endoscope device comprises an elongated housing, a control lever pivotable between a rest positon within said housing and operating positions over an angular distance of at least 90, such operating positions being located outward of said hous- "ice ing, resilient means disposed at one end of the housing, means operatively connecting said resilient means to the control lever, and optical means movably disposed in the housing and abutting with one end thereof against the resilient means. The arrangement is such that optical means when advanced against the force of the resilient means effect rotation of the control lever to one of the operating positions of the control lever.
The resilient means, preferably comprises a compression spring cooperating with a clamping bolt, the control lever being operatively connected to the clamping bolt preferably by a fork-shaped taut wire, such that displacement of the clamping bolt by the advancing optical means causes the control lever to be pivoted to the above mentioned operating positions thereof.
The compression spring is disposed in a stepped recess provided in the front end portion of the endscope device for laterally guilding the clamping bolt loaded by the spring upon advancement of the optical means abutting the clamping bolt.
In the arrangement in acocrdance with the invention, a pivoting of the control lever in a direction outward the housing, i.e. toward the operating positions thereof, will impart tension to the taut wire, whereas a pivoting of the control lever back to its rest position is effected by a return of the taut wire from a tension state to a compression state, such return being effected by the compression spring and the associated clamping bolt to which the taut wire is connected.
A pivoting action, as described, is effected by an operating hand wheel which imparts a displacement to the optical means, whereupon the abutting relationship of the optical means and the clamping bolt causes the control lever, upon advancement of the optical means, to follow up by gradual pivoting movement and attain a desired operating position, or gradually return same to its rest position upon a retreat of the optical means followed by the clamping bolt under the effect of the compression spring. Such controlled movement of the lever adapts it for use in the sensitive manipulation of an operating instrument which is guided by the endoscope device.
A device is attached to the ocular end of the housing, for manually effecting an axial displacement of the associated optical means, particularly the objective. The operating device comprises a toothed rack which, through a pinion is coupled to a handwheel and upon rotation of the hand wheel engages a member which in turn is coupled with a catch provided on the optical means. The operating device further comprises a threaded sleeve adjoining the housing and which upon rotation of the hand wheel experiences axial movement and causes the optical means to advance or retreat.
It is to be noted that other arrangements are possible for effecting axial displacement of the objective.
The invention will become more readily apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment thereof shown, by way of example, in the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a view, partly in section, showing the front, or objective, end portion of the endoscope device in accordance with the invention, with the control lever in the rest position;
FIG. 2 is a side view of the back, or ocular, end portion of the endoscope device in accordance with the invention, partly in section;
FIG. 3 is a plan view in accordance with FIG. 1, partly in section;
FIG. 4 is a cross-section taken along line 4-4 in FIG. 5; and
FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 3, further illustrating an inserted catheter and showing the control lever in an operating position.
It is seen in FIGS. 1 and 2 that front portion 1 of the elongated endoscope housing of shaft member 2 has a recess formed therein which serves for the receiving of a compression spring 4 and for the lateral guiding of a clamping bolt 5. A fork-shaped taut wire 6 has both ends thereof secured to the clamping bolt 5, While a middle portion of taut wire 6 is coupled to a control lever 7. Control lever 7 is pivotably supported about an axle 8 which is secured, preferably, by soldering, to wall prtions of the endoscope housing or shaft.
At a portion of the endoscope shaft nearest to the end supporting the ocular, there is provided an operating device 10 for effecting axial displacement of objective 9. A pinion 13, coupled to a hand wheel 14, engages through a toothed rack 11, a member which has a bore 19 provided therein. A limiting stud 16 secured, in the preferred embodiment, to a supporting ring 17, cooperates with a recess 16a to limit axial movement of the optic.
Supporting ring 17 is threadably secured to the end portion 18 of the ocular, and passes through a bore 19 of member 15.
During operation of the endoscope device, if it is desired to pivot control lever 7 to an operating position, as shown in FIG. 5, in order to manipulate a catheter 23 guided in conduit 21 and protruding with its front end through a window 20 in the housing, hand wheel 14 should be rotated to impart axial displacement to obective 9.
It is seen in FIG. 5, that during the surgical operation it might be necessary that the catheter or other instrument 23, or any other instrument such as boiling electrodes, cutting hooks, flexible hypodermic needles, looping catheters or different forceps, such as foreign substance forceps, or sampling forceps, should be introduced into conduit 21 of the endoscope shaft which is adapted to be sealed by cock plugs. Such instruments are slid og e; the optic through conduit 21 within the endoscope S a t.
The catheter 23 assumes, during its protrusion through the shaft Window, the position shown in dashed lines in FIG. 5, whereas during normal position, i.e., during a rest position of the control lever 7, the end will be slightly displaced from an axial direction due to its abutment on a deflector 22.
The rotational movement of hand wheel 14 via pinion 13 and member 15, causes the latter to effect axial displacement of objective 9. The objective 9 is forced against clamping bolt 5 which in turn retracts the taut wire 6 toward front portion 1. As a result, control lever 7 coupled to the taut Wire 6 will be rotated to the position shown in dashed lines in FIG. 5.
When control lever 7 is pivoted to its operating position, as shown in FIG. 5, it will carry therewith the front portion of catheter 23, or the particular instrument which protrudes from the shaft window 20, to a desired working position. The pivot range of the control lever 7 is such that the front end of catheter 23 appears in the center of the field of view of the optic. Within the pivot range, the control lever may remain in any desired intermediate portion without being affected by the pressure exerted thereon by the possible stiffness of the instrument being used, either when such instrument is advanced or being retracted. The force exerted by the optic on the clamping bolt 5 will be released only by turning the hand wheel 14 in the opposite direction than during advancing of the optic, thus permitting the optic 9 to retreat. Compression spring 4, biasing the clamping bolt 5, will be released.
Clamping bolt 5 follows the retracting optic and thereby exerts compression on taut wire 6. Thus the control lever 7, which is connected to the taut wire 6, is pivoted back into its rest position.
Although the invention has been described with respect to a preferred embodiment thereof, it is, however, not
intended that the invention should be limited to such embodiment only, but it should be defined by the scope of the appended claims.

Peak plutonium and a fuel shortage in space
Unfortunate Frog was not the first amphibian to have bad luck with the US space program
By now, you've seen the amphibian invariably referred to in the press as "an unfortunate frog" being lifted towards the heavens after it wandered too close to a NASA launch pad in Virginia. But did you know that this frog was not the first to try (and fail) to reach space?
At The Guardian, Jason Goldman writes about the history of frogs in space (or, at least, frogs that were briefly pointed at space), which dates all the way back to September 19, 1959, when the US Air Force attempted to send up two frogs on board a Jupiter AM-23 rocket. Why frogs? Goldman explains:

Being an astronaut can help you fix a BBQ on Earth
Don Petit is one of my favorite American astronauts. He's made some great science videos during three different trips to the International Space Station. This video was made on Planet Earth, but it's still fascinating. When Pettit's fellow astronaut Mike Massimino found himself with a broken BBQ grill, he called up Pettit to come help fix it. Why call an astronaut to fix your BBQ? Because experiments in understanding the fundamentals of combustion and space station safety gave Pettit an edge in figuring out how to make the Earth-bound grill work.

How an amateur astronomer mapped the Moon 59 years before Apollo 11
In 1910, Walter Goodacre published a map of the Moon, created over the course of several decades using nothing more high-tech than a good quality backyard telescope. Goodacre was an amateur astronomer. He didn't have access to top-of-the-line observatory. But he did have a knack for detail and willingness to painstakingly record his observations of the Moon with pen and paper, eventually producing a map that's accurate to a few kilometers. (In contrast, the high-definition images that we get today from lunar orbiters show details at a scale of a few meters.)
University College London has an explorable version of Goodacre's map on their website, along with scans from his 1910 book that broke the map up into sections. (As art, the sections are almost more intriguing than the full, stitched-together image.) It's all part of a larger collection of historic space images, photos from the Moon, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus.
This is the Space Age
Annalee Newitz's Stop pretending we aren't living in the Space Age is a magnificent rant on the incredibly achievements of modern space programs, and a savage indictment of the lack of imagination underpinning complaints about the failure of humans to return to the moon in force.
What's your favorite space probe up to this month?
Since October of 2010, "What's Up In the Solar System" has provided monthly updates on the various locations of humanity's many space probes. The picture above is for September 2013. It's a nice reminder of two sort of mind blowing facts. First, we have a LOT more probes out there than you probably remember off the top of your head, all collecting data and representing on behalf of this planet. Second, almost half those probes are clustered around two places — the Earth and Mars. We have come so far. We still have so far to go.
