1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a method of applying a coating to a stent supported by a mandrel.
2. Description of the Background
Blood vessel occlusions are commonly treated by mechanically enhancing blood flow in the affected vessels, such as by employing a stent. Stents act as scaffoldings, functioning to physically hold open and, if desired, to expand the wall of the passageway.
Typically stents are capable of being compressed, so that they can be inserted through small lumens via catheters, and then expanded to a larger diameter once they are at the desired location. Examples in the patent literature disclosing stents include U.S. Pat. No. 4,733,665 issued to Palmaz, U.S. Pat. No. 4,800,882 issued to Gianturco, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,886,062 issued to Wiktor.
Stents are used not only for mechanical intervention but also as vehicles for providing biological therapy. Biological therapy can be achieved by medicating the stents. Medicated stents provide for the local administration of a therapeutic substance at the diseased site. Local delivery of a therapeutic substance is a preferred method of treatment because the substance is concentrated at a specific site and thus smaller total levels of medication can be administered in comparison to systemic dosages that often produce adverse or even toxic side effects for the patient
One method of medicating a stent involves the use of a polymeric carrier coated onto the surface of the stent. A composition including a solvent, a polymer dissolved in the solvent, and a therapeutic substance dispersed in the blend is applied to the stent by immersing the stent in the composition or by spraying the composition onto the stent. The solvent is allowed to evaporate, leaving on the stent strut surfaces a coating of the polymer and the therapeutic substance impregnated in the polymer.
A shortcoming of the above-described method of medicating a stent is the potential for coating defects. While some coating defects can be minimized by adjusting the coating parameters, other defects occur due to the nature of the interface between the stent and the apparatus on which the stent is supported during the coating process. A high degree of surface contact between the stent and the supporting apparatus can provide regions in which the liquid composition can flow, wick, and collect as the composition is applied. As the solvent evaporates, the excess composition hardens to form excess coating at and around the contact points between the stent and the supporting apparatus. Upon the removal of the coated stent from the supporting apparatus, the excess coating may stick to the apparatus, thereby removing some of the needed coating from the stent and leaving bare areas. Alternatively, the excess coating may stick to the stent, thereby leaving excess coating as clumps or pools on the struts or webbing between the struts.
Thus, it is desirable to minimize the interface between the stent and the apparatus supporting the stent during the coating process to minimize coating defects. Accordingly, the present invention provides for a device for supporting a stent during the coating application process. The invention also provides for a method of coating the stent supported by the device.
The present invention provides a method of coating a stent. The method includes positioning a stent on a gear. The gear is supported by a mandrel. The method further includes rotating the mandrel to cause the gear to provide rotational motion to the stent. The method additionally includes applying a coating material to the stent.
Another aspect of the invention provides a method of coating a stent including positioning a stent on a gear. The method further includes rotating the gear to provide rotational motion to the stent. The method additionally includes applying a coating material to the stent.
A further aspect of the invention provides a method of coating a stent that includes positioning a stent on a mandrel. The mandrel includes a body extending into the stent that includes a textured or roughened surface area for the stent to rest thereon. The method further includes applying a coating material to the stent.
An additional aspect of the invention provides a method of coating a stent including adjusting a position of a gear along a length of a mandrel. The method further includes positioning a stent on the gear. The mandrel is rotated to rotate the stent. The method further includes applying a coating material to the stent.
Embodiments of the Mounting Assembly
Various types of coating defects can arise due to permanent contact points between a stent and its supporting apparatus. The present invention minimizes or eliminates such coating defects by having no permanent contact points between a stent and its supporting apparatus during the coating process.
Referring to
Mandrel 20 is illustrated as having two regions with a larger diameter. The two regions can be gear members 22 for applying a torque to stent 10. In commercially useful embodiments, any number of gear members 22 can be used to adequately support stent 10, and the embodiments of the present invention should not be limited to a mandrel 20 having merely two gear members 22 as illustrated in the Figures. Gear members 22 should be sized larger than the outer diameter of mandrel 20 so as to prevent mandrel 20 from being in contact with the inner surface of stent 10. Additionally, gear members 22 should be sized smaller than the inner diameter of stent 10 so as to provide for minimum contact between gear members 22 and the inner surface of stent 10. Providing gear members 22 of small diameter, as compared to the inner diameter of stent 10 offsets the gear member 22 rotation axis xM, from the axis about which stent 10 rotates—axis Xs being positioned longitudinally through the center of stent 10. Exemplary specifications that can be employed with stent 10 having a length of about 18 mm and an inner diameter of about 1.8 mm include:
In accordance with one embodiment, gear members 22 can be permanently affixed to mandrel 20. Alternatively, gear members 22 can be adjustably coupled to mandrel 20. As illustrated in
The body of gear members 22 can be of any suitable shape. For example, gear members 22 can be without teeth, as illustrated in
Coating a Stent Using the Mounting Assembly
The following method of application is being provided by way of illustration and is not intended to limit the embodiments of mounting assembly 18 of the present invention. A spray apparatus, such as EFD 780S spray device with VALVEMATE 7040 control system (manufactured by EFD Inc., East Providence, R.I.), can be used to apply a composition to a stent. EFD 780S spray device is an air-assisted external mixing atomizer. The composition is atomized into small droplets by air and uniformly applied to the stent surfaces. The atomization pressure can be maintained at a range of about 5 psi to about 20 psi. The droplet size depends on such factors as viscosity of the solution, surface tension of the solvent, and atomization pressure. Other types of spray applicators, including air-assisted internal mixing atomizers and ultrasonic applicators, can also be used for the application of the composition.
During the application of the composition, mandrel 20 can be rotated about its own central longitudinal axis. Rotation of mandrel 20 can be from about 10 rpm to about 300 rpm, more narrowly from about 40 rpm to about 240 rpm. By way of example, mandrel 20 can rotate at about 100 rpm. Mandrel 20 can also be moved in a linear direction along the same axis. Mandrel 20 can be moved at about 1 mm/second to about 6 mm/second, for example about 3 mm/second, or for a minimum of at least two passes (i.e., back and forth past the spray nozzle). The flow rate of the solution from the spray nozzle can be from about 0.01 mg/second to about 1.0 mg/second, more narrowly about 0.1 mg/second. Multiple repetitions for applying the composition can be performed, wherein each repetition can be, for example, about 1 second to about 10 seconds in duration. The amount of coating applied by each repetition can be about 0.1 micrograms/cm2 (of stent surface) to about 40 micrograms/cm2, for example less than about 2 micrograms/cm2 per 5-second spray.
Each repetition can be followed by removal of a significant amount of the solvent(s). Depending on the volatility of the particular solvent employed, the solvent can evaporate essentially upon contact with the stent. Alternatively, removal of the solvent can be induced by baking the stent in an oven at a mild temperature (e.g., 60� C.) for a suitable duration of time (e.g., 2-4 hours) or by the application of warm air. The application of warm air between each repetition prevents coating defects and minimizes interaction between the active agent and the solvent. The temperature of the warm air can be from about 30� C. to about 60� C., more narrowly from about 40� C. to about 50� C. The flow rate of the warm air can be from about 20 cubic feet/minute (CFM) (0.57 cubic meters/minute (CMM)) to about 80 CFM (2.27 CMM), more narrowly about 30 CFM (0.85 CMM) to about 40 CFM (1.13 CMM). The warm air can be applied for about 3 seconds to about 60 seconds, more narrowly for about 10 seconds to about 20 seconds. By way of example, warm air applications can be performed at a temperature of about 50� C., at a flow rate of about 40 CFM, and for about 10 seconds. Any suitable number of repetitions of applying the composition followed by removing the solvent(s) can be performed to form a coating of a desired thickness or weight. Excessive application of the polymer in a single application can, however, cause coating defects.
Operations such as wiping, centrifugation, or other web clearing acts can also be performed to achieve a more uniform coating. Briefly, wiping refers to the physical removal of excess coating from the surface of the stent; and centrifugation refers to rapid rotation of the stent about an axis of rotation. The excess coating can also be vacuumed off of the surface of the stent.
In accordance with one embodiment, the stent can be at least partially pre-expanded prior to the application of the composition. For example, the stent can be radially expanded about 20% to about 60%, more narrowly about 27% to about 55%—the measurement being taken from the stent's inner diameter at an expanded position as compared to the inner diameter at the unexpanded position. The expansion of the stent, for increasing the interspace between the stent struts during the application of the composition, can further prevent "cob web" formation between the stent struts.
In accordance with one embodiment, the composition can include a solvent and a polymer dissolved in the solvent. The composition can also include active agents, radiopaque elements, or radioactive isotopes. Representative examples of polymers that can be used to coat a stent include ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (commonly known by the generic name EVOH or by the trade name EVAL); poly(hydroxyvalerate); poly(L-lactic acid); polycaprolactone; poly(lactide-co-glycolide); poly(hydroxybutyrate); poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate); polydioxanone; polyorthoester; polyanhydride; poly(glycolic acid); poly(D,L-lactic acid); poly(glycolic acid-co-trimethylene carbonate); polyphosphoester; polyphosphoester urethane; poly(amino acids); cyanoacrylates; poly(trimethylene carbonate); poly(iminocarbonate); copoly(ether-esters) (e.g., PEO/PLA); polyalkylene oxalates; polyphosphazenes; biomolecules, such as fibrin, fibrinogen, cellulose, starch, collagen and hyaluronic acid; polyurethanes; silicones; polyesters; polyolefins; polyisobutylene and ethylene-alphaolefin copolymers; acrylic polymers and copolymers; vinyl halide polymers and copolymers, such as polyvinyl chloride; polyvinyl ethers, such as polyvinyl methyl ether; polyvinylidene halides, such as polyvinylidene fluoride and polyvinylidene chloride; polyacrylonitrile; polyvinyl ketones; polyvinyl aromatics, such as polystyrene; polyvinyl esters, such as polyvinyl acetate; copolymers of vinyl monomers with each other and olefins, such as ethylene-methyl methacrylate copolymers, acrylonitrile-styrene copolymers, ABS resins, and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers; polyamides, such as Nylon 66 and polycaprolactam; alkyd resins; polycarbonates; polyoxymethylenes; polyimides; polyethers; epoxy resins; polyurethanes; rayon; rayon-triacetate; cellulose; cellulose acetate; cellulose butyrate; cellulose acetate butyrate; cellophane; cellulose nitrate; cellulose propionate; cellulose ethers; and carboxymethyl cellulose.
"Solvent" is defined as a liquid substance or composition that is compatible with the polymer and is capable of dissolving the polymer at the concentration desired in the composition. Examples of solvents include, but are not limited to, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), chloroform, acetone, water (buffered saline), xylene, methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, tetrahydrofuran, 1-butanone, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, cyclohexanone, ethyl acetate, methylethylketone, propylene glycol monomethylether, isopropanol, isopropanol admixed with water, N-methyl pyrrolidinone, toluene, and combinations thereof.
The active agent can be for inhibiting the activity of vascular smooth muscle cells. More specifically, the active agent can be aimed at inhibiting abnormal or inappropriate migration and/or proliferation of smooth muscle cells for the inhibition of restenosis. The active agent can also include any substance capable of exerting a therapeutic or prophylactic effect in the practice of the present invention. For example, the agent can be for enhancing wound healing in a vascular site or improving the structural and elastic properties of the vascular site. Examples of agents include antiproliferative substances such as actinomycin D, or derivatives and analogs thereof (manufactured by Sigma-Aldrich 1001 West Saint Paul Avenue, Milwaukee, Wis. 53233; or COSMEGEN available from Merck). Synonyms of actinomycin D include dactinomycin, actinomycin IV, actinomycin I1, actinomycin X1, and actinomycin C1. The active agent can also fall under the genus of antineoplastic, antiinflammatory, antiplatelet, anticoagulant, antifibrin, antithrombin, antimitotic, antibiotic, antiallergic and antioxidant substances. Examples of such antineoplastics and/or antimitotics include paclitaxel (e.g., TAXOL� by Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., Stamford, Conn.), docetaxel (e.g., Taxotere�, from Aventis S.A., Frankfurt, Germany), methotrexate, azathioprine, vincristine, vinblastine, fluorouracil, doxorubicin hydrochloride (e.g., Adriamycin� from Pharmacia & Upjohn, Peapack N.J.), and mitomycin (e.g., Mutamycin� from Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., Stamford, Conn.). Examples of such antiplatelets, anticoagulants, antifibrin, and antithrombins include sodium heparin, low molecular weight heparins, heparinoids, hirudin, argatroban, forskolin, vapiprost, prostacyclin and prostacyclin analogues, dextran, D-phe-pro-arg-chloromethylketone (synthetic antithrombin), dipyridamole, glycoprotein IIb/IIIa platelet membrane receptor antagonist antibody, recombinant hirudin, and thrombin inhibitors such as Angiomax™ (Biogen, Inc., Cambridge, Mass.). Examples of such cytostatic or antiproliferative agents include angiopeptin, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors such as captopril (e.g., Capoten� and Capozide� from Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., Stamford, Conn.), cilazapril or lisinopril (e.g., Prinivil� and Prinzide� from Merck & Co., Inc., Whitehouse Station, N.J.), calcium channel blockers (such as nifedipine), colchicine, fibroblast growth factor (FGF) antagonists, fish oil (omega 3-fatty acid), histamine antagonists, lovastatin (an inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase, a cholesterol lowering drug, brand name Mevacor� from Merck & Co., Inc., Whitehouse Station, N.J.), monoclonal antibodies (such as those specific for Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) receptors), nitroprusside, phosphodiesterase inhibitors, prostaglandin inhibitors, suramin, serotonin blockers, steroids, thioprotease inhibitors, triazolopyrimidine (a PDGF antagonist), and nitric oxide. An example of an antiallergic agent is permirolast potassium. Other therapeutic substances or agents which may be appropriate include alpha-interferon, genetically engineered epithelial cells, rapamycin and dexamethasone. Exposure of the active ingredient to the composition should not adversely alter the active ingredient's composition or characteristic. Accordingly, the particular active ingredient is selected for compatibility with the solvent or blended polymer-solvent.
Examples of radiopaque elements include, but are not limited to, gold, tantalum, and platinum. An example of a radioactive isotope is P32. Sufficient amounts of such substances may be dispersed in the composition such that the substances are not present in the composition as agglomerates or flocs.
While particular embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications can be made without departing from this invention in its broader aspects. Therefore, the appended claims are to encompass within their scope all such changes and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of this invention.

Roger Wright Barlow, 39, was pronounced dead on the scene of the one-vehicle accident that occurred July 6 at approximately 12 minutes past midnight. The 1996 Chevrolet Astro van driven by Barlow went off the road and down an embankment on Highway 49 just north of Garrison Road.
The vehicle was traveling south toward Macon when the driver lost control of the vehicle and left the road.
Deputy William "Ed" Jernigan was the first officer on the scene. His report of the accident states that the white van was off the roadway and down the embankment when he arrived.
Jernigan said the driver was motionless, and the passenger, Angela Eve Baughman, was in the rear of the vehicle yelling for help. The deputy said Baughman was removed from the van and transported to the Medical Center by ambulance.

Local family hosts red carpet event for Jhuryll Phoenix music videosWritten by Matt Liasse | | firstname.lastname@example.com
"From the deep reaches of space comes a being like no other: part man, part musician, part hero. Torn between love and death, [he] discovers his new-found ability to set the wrong things right."
A narrator begins "Start Over," the first chapter of "Start Over Saga," a series of music videos, with a shot of light beamed on Earth from space. This is the first introduction of Jhuryll Phoenix, a superhero rapper character created by a local family.
"My son and I were talking one night about creating a different type of musician," creator Matt Heart said, who stars in the videos. "There's a lot of musicians out there, right? How many of them claim to be a superhero? None. How many of them fly around in their videos and still rap and save the day? None."
The locale
In September, a wing of Toledo Express Airport was reserved to film a scene for the upcoming music video "Airplane," the third in the series. Reserving the wing was something the Hearts felt lucky to be able to do.
"My wife has the golden tongue," Heart said.
The Hearts filmed on a runway for 20 minutes while no one was on it. Planes began landing shortly after they were finished shooting.
The week prior, shots were filmed at Stormin Norman's Trading Post, 5860 Lewis Avenue. In "I'm In Love," the second installment, viewers get a glimpse of the Maumee Indoor Theatre, 601 Conant Street.
"We filmed all over, I love [Toledo]. It's a great place," Heart said. "We filmed in Lima, we filmed in Maumee, we filmed Downtown Toledo by COSI."
The chapters
The first video follows Phoenix, played by Heart's 19-year-old-son who goes by the name. In the video, Phoenix discovers his time changing abilities as he attempts to save his girlfriend who was killed by a driver who was texting.
The second installment, viewers learn of another power Phoenix has: the power to heal.
"You don't find out how Jhuryll got his powers until this [next] episode, No. 3," Heart said.
Each music video, ranging from eight to 23 minutes, takes roughly three months to shoot. The installments have been released four months apart: "Start Over" debuted in June and "I'm In Love" debuted in September. The Hearts said the project will have 12 installments.
The music videos play like a rock opera with the music telling the stories of Phoenix. Heart said the concept of all 12 videos is already planned out and they have seven songs are already recorded.
"Nobody in Toledo is doing anything like this," Heart said.
The second video features a ballet number by Kayla King, who plays Heather and the Light Angel. It was her dancing that got her the part.
"We knew the minute we [saw] her dance. We didn't even have to see anything else about her," wife Lori Heart said. "She's 15, but she has a real purity about her … and she can act."
"Airplane," which will make its debut Dec. 6, will feature some special effects. The fourth video, "Pick Up A Gun," which the Hearts will begin filming during Toledo's first snow, will involve zombies. Anyone can sign up to be a zombie extra by visiting startoversaga.com and clicking on "Zombie Extras."
The music and the project
"Music always comes first," Heart said.
Heart said the idea for the music came in response to the vulgarity of today's hip-hop.
"There's a lot of sexual innuendos in music nowadays; a lot of drinking, partying, doing mollies and all that stuff," Heart said. "We just want to tone it down and take it back to how music used to be."
Phoenix wanted to follow in the footsteps of his father, who has been in the music business for years.
"We complement each other," Heart said.
The concept was mostly thought of by Heart, which he is hoping to turn into a franchise. In addition to the videos and music (which is featured on iTunes), Lori is in the process of writing a book that follows the same story line.
"It actually tells the story from where Jhuryll is born to the end of chapter 12," Lori said. "The book is the whole sha-bang."
The premiere
The first two parts of the series are available online at startoversaga.com. Both of them, and the third chapter, "Airplane," will be premiered during a red carpet event at 6 p.m. on Dec. 6 at The Blarney Irish Pub's Event Center, 601 Monroe Street. Admission is $5 and proper dress attire is required.
"It's red carpet, it's fancy-schmancy," Lori said.
The event is open to the public and tickets can be purchased at startoversaga.com in the events section or by calling (818) 863-6013.

Announcing CatalystCon West
Speakers and Sessions
CatalystCon West
September 11-13, 2015
Burbank, CA
CatalystCon is a conference created to inspire exceptional conversations about sexuality. It is about reaching out and stimulating those who attend to create those important conversations in their own communities, changing how we as a society talk about and treat sexuality. It is about stimulating the activist that is within all of us and sparking transformation in the way our friends, neighbors, children and even politicians discuss one of the most important aspects of humanity.
This is a conference meant to energize, enlighten and exhilarate. It is a conference where everyone is welcome, everyone is respected, and everyone is encouraged to share their knowledge and experiences. As the struggle continues over issues relating to equal rights, access to health care, and sex education, it is more important than ever to come together and have these important conversations on all areas of sexuality.
The fundamental principle of CatalystCon is that knowledge is power and sharing that knowledge is the first spark in igniting change.

A Lake View man pleaded guilty in Richland County General Sessions court to six indictments arising from his fraudulent activity in the operation of six nursing homes, including Aiken's Azalea Woods.
Richard C. Cooke, 53, pleaded guilty to two indictments charging him with forgery, a felony, and four indictments charging him with medical assistance provider fraud, a misdemeanor, said state Attorney General Alan Wilson.
The charges stem from fraudulent cost reports Cooke submitted to the S.C. Medicaid program.
Cooke, a resident of Dillon County, was a key figure in Cooke Management Company Inc. of Lake View, which operated six nursing homes. They are located in Aiken, Bishopville, Fork, Florence, Kingstree and Fountain Inn.
Under state Medicaid regulations, nursing homes are required to submit annual operational cost reports for their facility. The Medicaid program pays the nursing home based on that and on the number of Medicaid residents. From 2009 to 2011, the six nursing homes were overpaid a total of $1,020,818.34 as a result of the fraudulent items listed on cost reports submitted to the Medicaid program, according to the Attorney General's office.
Under the terms of the plea agreement, Cooke is required to plead guilty to the charges, make restitution of $1,020,818.38 to the S.C. Medicaid program, to be excluded from the Medicaid program for life and to cooperate with the ongoing investigation by the Attorney General's office.
Cooke was sentenced by the Honorable L. Casey Manning to 10 years on the two forgery indictments to run concurrently, suspended to five years probation. Probation conditions include house arrest for one year and 500 hours of community service plus full restitution.
On the four Medicaid fraud counts, Cooke was sentenced to three years each to run concurrently, all suspended. He presented two checks totaling $500,000 toward his restitution.
"Fraud committed against the Medicaid program deprives funds needed to pay for medical services, including nursing home care, for elderly citizens who can't afford it otherwise," Wilson said in a statement. "As a result of this investigation and prosecution, the overpayments will be repaid, and the defendant will never again own or manage a nursing home facility."

I had first invented this simple device when I was but twelve years old and had a penchant for things that go boom. While presently taking a film class, this fond memory had percolated to the surface and I decided to revisit my mischievous childhood and my penchant.
BE ADVISED: This may be the teeniest bit unsafe and could result in some kind of harm to yourself, others, or objects, but mostly likely, you'll only make a mess. In any event: by reading this you relinquish all liability on my part in perpetuity for ever and ever!
Step 1: Gather ye stuffbuds while ye may.
Materials:1) Baking Soda (NOT baking powder you fool!!!)
2) Vinegar (I hear they put this in salads sometimes)
3) Toilet Paper (available in most bathrooms around the world)
4) An EMPTY 35mm film canister (I used fujifilm, hover on the pic to see why)
Step 3: Fill 'er up.
Step 4: Could you spare a square?
Step 5: Push it... push it good.
What follows is one of the more tricky and critical parts of the lesson. Push your finger in the TP ever so slightly to make a small concave surface below the opening of the canister. Be sure not to puncture the TP.
you can shake too
Thnx bro,

Demand for Guns, Food Stamps Indicates Uncertainty: Analyst
Published: Monday, 18 Oct 2010 | 11:57 AM ET
By: Michelle Lodge
Special to CNBC.com
The rise in gun sales and food stamp demand are indicators of a fearful public struggling financially, Nicholas Colas, chief market strategist, ConvergEx Group, told CNBC Monday.
Oddly enough, buying a gun still holds very steady, but buying ammunition not so much, said Colas, who analyzes trends in the economy and financial markets.
In addition to firearms and food stamps, ConvergEX reviewed sales of gold and silver coins and used cars.
That tells us that there are more first-time [gun] buyers coming in to buy firearms and that speaks to your worries about security. They buy a few rounds [of ammunition] first time, but they dont buy more.
Colas said to determine firearm activity, he tracked FBI background checks and Google Trends for buying guns and ammunition. Likewise, Google indicated a high last month on those seeking information on how to get food stamps, he added.
Sales of gold coins have levled off at 100,000 units a month over the last half year, said Colas, but interest in silver, much more affordable, is rising. Just two years ago, silver coin sales were on the magnitude of 1 million units a month, now its 3 million units a month, he added.
Colas said that after a large bump in used-car prices earlier this year, prices are now unchanged.
The consumer is still on pretty shaky ground, he added. Confidence [is] still not all that strong, the intention to spend, still [is] not all that strong.

Students Join Nobel Laureates at Poland Summit
Warsaw, Poland, welcomed human rights luminaries including the Dalai Lama, former South African President Frederik Willem de Klerk, and former Polish President Lech Wałęsa, for three days in October as the host of the 13th World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates. Movie star Sharon Stone, winner of this year's Peace Summit Award, was also on hand in the Polish capital. But among the political dignitaries, social change agents, and politicians was another group of lesser-known activists: four lucky Haverford students.
Itzel Delgado '16, Oluwatobi Alliyu '16, Robin Banerji '15, and Rrap Kryeziu '16 were chosen from more than 50 applicants to go to Warsaw to learn from and engage with some of the world's leading minds in social justice and humanitarianism. They attended workshops on peace and democracy and attend panels on social justice, solidarity, and reconciliation given by the Nobel winners.
"Attending the World Summit provided the opportunity to learn from individuals who have been able to navigate the obstacles of life and, ultimately, become agents of change in their own unique ways," says Alliyu, a biology major who hopes to pursue a career in social entrepreneurship and healthcare. "Peace, justice, and social change are often presented as unattainable, but many attending the summit have proven that wrong."
From Oct. 20 through Oct. 23, the Haverford students and their group advisor, Executive Director of the Center for Peace and Global Citizenship (CPGC) Parker Snowe '79, kept a jam-packed schedule of panel sessions and workshops. Among the speakers they got to hear were Iranian women- and children's-rights activist Shirin Ebadi, UN Under-Secretary General Peter Launsky-Tieffenthal, North Irish peace activist Mairead Corrigan Maguire, and microfinance pioneer Muhammed Yunus, whose talk the students singled out as a highlight. They also found some time to tour Warsaw and take in a concert by the Euro Mediterranean Music Academy for Peace.
"The best part of the summit, without a doubt, was the chance to meet people from around the world who truly care about world peace," says Delgado, a political science major. "Whether they were [college] students like myself, journalists, or Polish high school students, there was a sense of unity to change the world—a feeling I've only felt there."
This trip to Poland marked the second year in a row that Haverford students attended a Nobel Laureate Summit at the invitation of 1947 Nobel Prize winners the American Friends Service Committee and with the sponsorship of the CPGC. Last year four other students, chosen from 30 applicants, attended the summit in Chicago.
Now that this year's summit attendees are back on campus, they are eager to incorporate what they learned in Poland into their coursework and lives here at Haverford.
"I plan on integrating what I learned at the summit into my Haverford experience by participating in the Global Scholars Program—a seminar on social entrepreneurship and leadership," says Alliyu. "As an Office of Multicultural Affairs intern, it is my hope that I will also be able to use what I learned to start and contribute to conversations about social change on Haverford's campus."

- "Too close to call" : CNN's politics of captions in the coverage of the Florida Recount (2003)
- Proceeding chronologically in terms of the events covered, Raimund Schieß in his paper "Too close to call: CNN's politics of captions in the coverage of the Florida Recount" focusses on Nov. 11, 2000, when the Bush campaign applied to Miami Federal Court to stop the manual recount of ballots which had been started in some counties. The paper studies the discursive practices employed by the CNN journalists to construct a particular version of the events, focussing on captions, i.e. the lines of text inserted at the bottom of the tv screen, and on the way in which they interact with the other verbal and visual components of the television text. Raimund Schieß concludes that captions, far beyond providing mere details of a speech event (who is talking to whom about what, where and when), are used to select, to highlight and hide, and thus to invite a preferred interpretation of the event. He is also able to show that captions are often employed to exploit a story's potential for drama and sensation. His detailed micro-analysis of the verbal and visual dimensions of the television text is supported by careful documentation of the data, either through screen shots or via transcriptions of the stretches of broadcast discussed.

I'm about 13 weeks pregnant with my 3rd baby. My labs came back that I have low platelets 114 and 116...they tested them twice to make sure. I'll be going to a hematologist to make sure there is nothing more-but my mom has ITP so we're guessing that I have it as well.
My question-I never had this problem until I had my 1st baby in which that pregnancy ended in HELLP. So can HELLP cause ITP long term?

Responsible voice needed
The current debate about gun control illustrates dramatically the different world view of liberals and conservatives.
The conservatives see all of the bad things that can happen, e.g. home invasions, government take-over, street muggings, etc.
The liberals however see how idyllic we could be and try to achieve that nirvana, e.g., there would be fewer bad guys if we had a great educational system, a good safety net, job training, fewer weapons to kill people, etc.
To the liberals putting more guns in schools and making kids wear bullet-proof vests is an admission of defeat. To the conservatives it is folly not to be fully prepared for the worse.
The liberals see how good things could be – the conservatives see how bad things could be.
The truth, of course, lies somewhere in between and we need a rational dialogue to find the optimal middle ground – something that will only happen if we have a responsibleconservative voice, which is sorely lacking at the moment.

John Riccitiello, CEO of EA, recently held a call with investors to reassure them that despite a bad year, there will still be a market for big AAA games, particularly when the next generation of consoles are released.
Meaning, that hasn't happened yet.
If that sounds like a slight to the Wii U, well, it kind of is. Though Riccitiello makes sure to soften the blow.
"Never count Nintendo out. They've got some of the best IP in the game industry. When their marquee titles show up, that's when you usually see the bounce. I deeply respect the achievements they've had over the last several years. And as I said, you never really count them out."
Go on…
"Having said that, I wouldn't say that we see a correlation between the results that Nintendo has shown with their console debut of the Wii U and what we see coming. We see a pretty sharp distinction, and unfortunately I'm unable to go any further than that.
Ours is an industry where a lot of devices come in and represent themselves as the next generation, or the next generation after that. In many ways we would argue that the what we're describing as "gen 4″ is yet to come. It's that that we're excited about, and that's what we're investing in. And frankly, we've been quite consistent with that for some time, while recognizing the frustration our inability to articulate precisely why causes for you."
What he's essentially saying here is that he's seen what the Wii U is capable, of, and he's seen what the upcoming versions of the Playstation and Xbox are capable of, and the gulf is sizable enough that we'll be classifying the Wii U as "last gen" once the other two are released.
He also talked about how EA will be focusing hard on "gen 4″ versions of Battlefield and FIFA, saying that they'll be investing a lot into games for the PS4 and 720 (or Durango and Orbis if you prefer). Not to say the Wii U won't see any EA games. It already has Mass Effect 3 out for the system and we'll likely see a number of the traditional sports titles that are generally released to every platform under the sun. But it doesn't appear that the WiiU is a big part of EA's comeback strategy.
This is what I was warning about during my "Six Reasons the Wii U is Struggling" article from last week. I said that many are waiting to see what the total scope of the next generation will look like, which means realizing what the Durango and Orbis are capable of.
The fear is that though the Wii U appears to have much more 3rd party support right now than its predecessor, that's not necessarily going to be the case down the line. Yes, it's nice that the system can now run titles like Arkham City and Assassin's Creed and Mass Effect when it couldn't before, but how long will that last?
It's already starting. Eidos says they won't release their new Tomb Raider for the Wii U because of the added complication of the gamepad, and Randy Pitchford said something similar about Borderlands 2, which couldn't be bothered to be ported for the system.
And down the line, EA may have been willing to release Mass Effect 3 for the Wii U, but what about Mass Effect 4, a game assuredly designed for fully " gen 4″ systems? Because of the Wii U's capabilities, Nintendo will be back where they started where developers don't want to strip down their game, or add-in extraneous features to make use of the gamepad, which is exactly what happened with the Wii.
Of course, the Wii was a smash hit regardless of lackluster 3rd party support, but as I said previously, I don't think the Wii U can count on being the same sort of phenomenon among non-gamers.
The perfect scenario for Nintendo would have been a system that includes all their beloved first party franchises, but also one that can play any number of popular cross platform titles. Though it might be able to be that sort of system right now, once fully "next gen" games are released, I think the Wii U will be left behind by 3rd party developers and Riccitiello's comments are a sign of what's to come for the console.

Texturized crescent moon pendant necklace with chainlink. Lobster claw clasp closure.

*16" chainlink drop, 2 1/4" pendant drop
Rated 3.2 out of 5Â by 31 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by dasenmad Cheap Chain I purchased this a few months ago when I was visiting Colorado. I absolutely love the pendant but the chain felt cheap and broke within the first week I had it. Luckily, I had a few extra chains in my jewelry collection so I can still wear it. This pendant goes with everything and I wear it all the time! 6.19.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by AlisonDub My new favorite necklace. I love this necklace! I wear it all the time. Be weary-- the chain is pretty weak and breaks easily. Still in love though! 4.17.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Dansheridan I wanted to love it... This necklace is really cute. BUT horrible horrible horrible quality. I wore the necklace two times before the moon broke off of the rest of the chain. I was literally just sitting in a desk at school when the moon fell off out of nowhere. I usually LOVE FP everything, but I'm super disappointed that I spent 40 bucks on a necklace that lasted me only hours. 2.22.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Cat1258 delicate really pretty, and the charm part is quite substantial, but the chain does feel pretty delicate compared and i am really hoping i don't lost the pendant... i am thinking about maybe soldering the jumpring or maybe switching out the chain because it really is a lovely necklace. 1.10.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by KimiT Pretty, but... I ordered this in silver, and it is quite pretty. However, the moon is on a thin antiqued chain that I would expect from F21. It also hit me at an awkward place right above my belly button (I'm 5'4"). I expected better quality for the price and it is going back. 1.9.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by fantasyspeak beautiful but always breaking This really is a statement piece and brings an outfit together. The moon pendant is heavy, however the chain is really weak. I had more trouble with this necklace than I had enjoying it. The pendant was constantly coming off of the chain. Overall, it's really cute and I loved it when I wasn't fussing around fixing it. Worth the trouble, but not worth the price. 1.6.2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Whynot Yawn I was not as thrilled by the look of this as some of the other reviewers. Okay okay.  MAYbe I was just a tad obsessed when I first saw it pictured with some of the new tops before it actually became available. And MAYbe I checked FP every chance I got for weeks to see if it had appeared yet. And MAYbe I snapped up the brass the second it became available. But... Unfortunately, it is not what I had been expecting or hoping for. It's a decent weight and size, but it has a very dull brown (yawn) boring finish. The online pictures show some sheen and shininess so you can see all the lovely texture details. The one I received just looks dull brown when worn, and you can only notice the texture if you hold it at a certain angle to bright light which, I mean who's going to stand around and do that all day? So basically, it's a plain, flat, dark brown moon on a chain.  Plus it hangs a bit oddly. Normally I don't bother to return inexpensive items such as this because it's not worth the hassle and out of pocket expense from Canada. However, I've had several disappointing purchases recently (What's going on FP?) and will just return them in a batch. Really wish I could spend more money on FP items and less on return shipping. [Note to anyone who's concerned about breaking. Pretty much all the long crescent moon necklaces are prone to breaking. I have the Lune Necklace (which I love) and have almost broken it a few times. It's the shape (a hook) that grabs things like your purse strap or the dishwasher rack and then when you move it gets yanked.  It's not necessarily workmanship. ] 2.23.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by CassieAnn Wanted to love I fell in love with this necklace online and was debating on whether to get it for months. I finally broke down and bought it. I was a little disappointed when I got it. I loved the design but it looked really cheap in person. However I still thought it was cute and decided to keep it. Big mistake because it broke after only wearing it 2 times! I tried fixing it but it didn't really work out. Idk maybe mine was just defective because I've never had problems with the quality of fp items but I'm still upset I spent 40 dollars on a necklace I only ended up wearing for a few hours :( 1.15.2014
