Grit, glamour and gloryWritten by Michael Miller | Editor in Chief Emeritus | email@example.com
There are places on Earth that absorb human energy and store it like a psychic battery. Events of great emotion create "hotspots" that retain the tenor of overwhelming sentiment.
I stop short of believing in haunted houses, but I have experienced a preternatural cold three times in my life — while standing in a train boxcar once used to transport Holocaust victims to Auschwitz; standing at the Ground Zero site in New York City; and when touching a Titanic artifact that was raised from the lost ship's Atlantic Ocean resting place.
It is a blessing that this psychic energy is most potent and life-affirming when it is created by positive emotions, by love and creativity and that most elusive and hard-to-define entity, fun.
I first encountered that energy in Memphis, Tenn., inside the modest setting of Sun Studio. Standing in the same space where Sam Phillips recorded music by Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, B.B. King, Charlie Rich, Howlin' Wolf, Carl Perkins, Rufus Thomas and so many others, I felt the vibrations of revolution, the confluence and tension of race, talent and the fulcrum of ambition.
But even that powerful feeling was dwarfed by a recent visit to Studio A in Detroit's Motown headquarters, Hitsville, USA Motown Museum, less than an hour north of Downtown Toledo, has opened a new exhibit, "Girl Groups: The Grit, The Glamour, The Glory," which honors such first ladies of Motown as Diana Ross & The Supremes, Martha Reeves and The Vandellas, The Marvelettes, The Velvelettes and The Andantes who, like their background fellows The Funk Brothers, sang on 20,000 recordings.
The exhibit, which includes fascinating information on the role women played in Motown, includes a lineup of dresses worn by the label's superstars and archived materials from concerts and promotions. The story of Motown founder Barry Gordy Jr. is captured in video, photos and a walk through the actual rooms where he began a musical and cultural revolution.
As well known as the Motown story is, it is easy to take its impact and legacy for granted.
Gordy started the company with an $800 family loan in 1959 in his home of 2648 W. Grand Blvd. (which is now co-named Berry Gordy Jr. Boulevard). Gordy converted his garage into a studio, his kitchen into a control room and his small dining area into "shipping and receiving." From such modest beginnings, Gordy, described by critic Dave Marsh as "the most musically talented executive in the history of the record business," built an empire.
The Motown statistics are staggering. Between 1961 and 1971, 163 Motown singles charted; 28 of those hit No. 1. The Supremes alone racked up 12 No. 1 records. The list of Motown artists reads like a roster of Hall of Fame rockers, and it should; in addition to Gordy, Rock Hall inductees include The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, The Four Tops, The Temptations, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, Smokey Robinson and The Miracles, The Jackson 5, Gladys Knight and the Pips, sidemen Benny Benjamin and James Jamerson and writers Brian Holland, Lamont Dozer and Eddie Holland — and Mary Wells and The Marvellettes have been nominated.
The hit parade of Motown classics could choke a jukebox and fill a large portion of an iPod: "I Heard It Through The Grapevine"; "Reach Out I'll Be There"; "Heat Wave"; "Ain't No Mountain High Enough"; "You Keep Me Hangin'; On"; "My Girl"; "My Guy"; "It Takes Two"; "I Can't Help Myself": "Shop Around"; "Dancing in the Street"; "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone"; "The Way You Do You the Things You Do"; "I Second That Emotion"; "What's Going On"; "Where Did Our Love Go"; "Stop! In The Name Of Love"; "You Can't Hurry Love"; "I Wish It Would Rain"; "ABC"; "It's the Same Old Song"; "Standing In the Shadows of Love"; "For Once In My Life" and an overwhelming number of other landmark recordings.
Listening to Motown recordings today one can still hear the vitality and energy Gordy and his army of writers and musicians managed to capture. The Motown Museum illustrates the business and artistry of Gordy's genius. Under glass, a single sequined glove and black fedora symbolize Michael Jackson's presence. A gallery of album covers shows the progression from generic illustrations (because so many American record stores of the time would not display albums with black artists on them) to proud releases on Motown's Black Forum label, which released spoken word recordings from Martin Luther King Jr., Langston Hughes and black soldiers in Vietnam.
The tour includes a glimpse of the rooms where the Gordy family began its entrepreneurial efforts; the window where Gordy once sat mailing vinyl records now frames a perfect view of the street sign proclaiming "Berry Gordy Jr. Blvd."
But as compelling as the museum and offices are, it is Studio A that embodies rock 'n' roll. My media tour was led by Allen C. Rawls of the Motown Museum Board of Trustees. Rawls spoke of auditioning for Motown when he was 15, and how he and kids on passing school buses would stare out the windows to see which stars were in the neighborhood. Rawls carries himself with great dignity and gravity, but his love for the Motown legacy shine through his storytelling like sharp rays of sunshine.
The control booth outside Studio A, Rawls pointed out, has deep grooves worn into the floor, where producers and engineers pounded and stomped their feet while making music that shook the world.
Stepping into Studio A, knowing one's feet are descending steps walked on by Marvin, Stevie, Smokey, Diana, Martha and scores of other monumental artists, is a transcendent experience. The battered headphones and microphones frame the small room; it is amazing that the thundering sounds on Four Tops and Vandellas records were made in such a small and modest space. Lines between black music and white music were obliterated in Studio A. Memories of love and loss, heartbreak and triumph, were given a soundtrack in Studio A. The piano in the studio is a stand-in; the one Earl Van Dyke played on Motown classics is in New York, being refurbished courtesy of the generosity of Motown fan Paul McCartney. But the drums played by Pistol Allen, Bongo Brown and Uriel Jones are there; so is the vibraphone played by Jack Ashford.
Sun Studio promises of mischief, sex and trouble. Studio A at Motown vibrates with peace, love and soul.
When deciding which records to release, Gordy would ask his players, "If you only had $1 in the world, and you had to choose between a sandwich and this record, which would you choose?"
Having been immersed in the grit, glamour and glory of Studio A at Motown, there isn't a sandwich on the planet I would take over any one of a hundred Motown songs.

A Serious Question for Contact Sport Coaches
I am seriously considering returning to my old workplace: riekes.org
Among other things it is a high level athletic training center. I left before on very good terms and feel comfortable that I will be welcomed back. Although I have a basic common sense knowledge of physical training, nutrition, and workout structure, I could take the opportunity working at this place to really focus on bringing my knowledge to the next level. In short I can get training from my professional coworkers on an incredibly wide range of technical athletic knowledge.
Omega, SamboSteve, Serge and other high level trainers and coaches: If I wanted to gain the knowledge that a MMA coach needs on all aspects of physical training, what specific skills would I request to be trained at in my workplace?
Specifically, I can only think of gaining proficiency in coaching olympic lifts, nutrition for muscle recovery, and how to structure workouts where you also learn specific skills. What am I missing?
As far as my personal qualifications up to this point, I am still a far way away from coaching. I am a low blue belt and only have an 6-1 striking record, but if I keep training perhaps in 5 years I will be very happy to have taken advantage of this opportunity.
Thanks in advance for your recommendations. Also, please forgive me if I am slow in answering to replies. I am without internet most of the time for the next month.

Style: Does exercise count?--
No one place ever really holds all the answers, but read and watch everything you can get your hands on by Mike Boyle. Newer is better since he's one of the few people on this strange world of ours who changes their opinion in light of new information.
For more on MMA specifically check out Dewey Neilsen and Joel Jamieson. The latter of the two has some incredibly interesting ideas on energy systems (cardio-ish) stuff.
When one of those people mentions someone else, it's generally worth looking them up and seeing what you can learn from those people as well.
Personal favorites of mine beyond there if i just want to say a bunch of names: Mike Robertson, Gray Cook, Eric Cressey and Dan John for training. Alan Aragon and Lyle McDonald for nutrition.

Hey, I was just directed to this thread. I wanna answer this week on my day off so I can give adequate time to an answer for ya. Will be back Soon!One of the best Bullshido investigations ever written: http://www.bullshido.org/David_Kujawski_Investigation

Sounds like your head is in the right place... This is actually exactly what I do for a living. I'm a CSCS.
From my experience in combat and contact sports, athletes are most deficient in proper nutrition, followed by workout protocols, exercise technique, and sport-specific movements. They also (usually) are misinformed on the advantages/disadvantages of martial arts and supplemental weight training... I don't know how many times I hear some BS like "squats only train ONE part of the body (which any serious squatter knows is absolutely ridiculous), which is why I practice yoga. I have whole-body strength."
A lot of what I do is proving that progressive weight training works, while dispelling exercise myths that are very ingrained in the martial arts world. There's a lot of injury rehab and prevention in there, as well, and I love working with knee and shoulder injuries. I have a literal stack of research journals on the subject, if you're ever looking for scientific answers to those questions.

Hey, sorry this took so long...
Regarding training, I will say that you should get as much training as possible in several areas. Obviously some basic in fitness and conditioning, etc, but, most importantly, when you decide to coach is to establish a team of coaches that can compliment each other's stregnths and weaknesses. No single coach can do it all.
But, in terms of MMA/Martial Arts Specific education for you, I have several suggestions:
Start your USA Boxing coach certification. At least take the level 1 course. You won't regret it. It cover the basics of many areas including teaching methods, language, physical training, basic sports related first aid, weight cutting, etc.
I would also suggest taking the Association of Boxing Commissions Referee/Judge course...even if you never plan on reffing or judging.
Aside from your basic CPR & First Aid certs, in terms of combat sports medicine, I would highly suggest attending this: http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2012/4/11...ium-new-jersey
I found it EXTREMELY valuable. The NJ Athletic Commission started this program this year in conjunction with Dr. Sheryl Wulkan and the Sports Medicine branch of Atlantic Health (they are also the medical team for the NJ Devils and NY Jets). It is now an annual event like none other. Very worth making the trip.
Other things I have done that have helped me were really based on my own college and graduate education. Also, my training as a massage therapist was super helpful over the years (knowledge of the body, Anatomy & Physiology, rehab, sports medicine, etc.).One of the best Bullshido investigations ever written: http://www.bullshido.org/David_Kujawski_Investigation

Dating Men: "I Strip for Your Boyfriend"
Dating Men: "I Strip for Your Boyfriend"
We asked a handful of exotic dancers what really goes on during guys' night out. Here, they share their brutally honest answers.SEE MORE
How much sex happens in the club?"It depends on what you mean by sex. [Laughs.] No, there's no sex—that wouldn't be legal."
—"Lotti," 23, who's stripped for three months
So…how much touching is allowed?"If the 'custie' is nice and respectful, I might place his hands on different parts of my body or brush my boobs against his face. In the champagne room, he can touch me wherever he wants."
—"Gigi," 25, who's stripped for two years
Do guys ever masturbate while they watch you?"They'd better not! Once in a while, guys will climax in their pants. Dancers hate that!"
Is there a price you wouldn't turn down for sex?"I think everyone has a price. I would do it for $50,000. It would be stupid to turn down that kind of money. It's just sex!"
—"Mona," 21, who's stripped for one year
How often do customers cross the line?"They're guys—so of course they try to get away with stuff. Usually it's because they're drunk or just rude."
Are all bachelor parties typically rowdy?"Most of them are rowdy, but they're not usually out of hand. It depends on the groom and his friends. I've worked parties where the groom is so sweet and shows me pictures of his bride, and others where I've been pelted with balled-up dollar bills and left feeling nasty and degraded."
Do they wear wedding rings?"I've seen it all: Some of the guys are married but don't wear a ring; some make it clear that they're married but don't want their wives or girlfriends to know; and sometimes they have a 'don't ask, don't tell' policy. Lots of couples come in together! Whatever they want is fine; we respect their privacy."
—"Samie," 24, who's stripped for two years
Are the men ever total creeps?"Sometimes, but the security is on it. If there's a problem, we just raise our hand and blink an eye, and there's someone there to help us."
Is it cheating?"At the end of the day, it's entertainment. Women spend money on shoes; guys spend money on girls! We have sports, girls, good food—what more could a guy want?"
—"Coco," 25, who's stripped for a year
What would you say to women who don't like it when their guy goes to a club?"A lot of the dancers are in relationships themselves! So they really shouldn't worry."

The present invention generally relates to devices, systems, and methods for diagnosing and treating the heart. In particular, the invention provides methods and systems for implanting medical devices into the patient's vasculature and using the devices for sensing electrical activity and/or electrically stimulating the heart
Pacemakers and implanted cardioverter defibrillators ("ICDs") have been successfully implanted for years for treatment of heart rhythm conditions.
Pacemakers are implanted in patients who have bradycardia (slow heart rate). The pacemakers detect periods of bradycardia and deliver electrical stimuli to increase the heart beat to an appropriate rate.
ICDs are implanted in patients who may suffer from episodes of fast and irregular heart rhythms called tachyarrhythmias. ICDs come in two forms: the first type is a defibrillator for patients who may suffer ventricular fibrillation (VF), a fast and irregular heart rhythm in the ventricles. During a VF episode, the heart quivers and can pump little or no blood to the body, potentially causing sudden death. An ICD implanted for correction of ventricular fibrillation will detect a VF episode and deliver an electrical shock to the heart to restore the heart's electrical coordination.
The second type of ICD is a cardioverter for patients who may suffer from atrial fibrillation (AF), which is a loss of electrical coordination in the heart's upper chambers (atria). During AF, blood in the atria may pool and clot, placing the patient at risk for stroke. An ICD implanted for correction of atrial fibrillation will detect an AF episode and deliver an electrical shock to the atria to restore electrical coordination.
Pacemakers and ICDs are routinely implanted in the pectoral region either under the skin (subcutaneous) or under the pectoral muscle. The leads are placed at appropriate locations within or on the heart. Because of this complexity, a cardiologist identifying a heart rhythm condition may be required to refer his or her patient to sub-specialists or surgeons for implantation of a pacemaker or ICD—thus delaying implantation of the device in a patient who urgently needs it. It is thus desirable to simplify these devices and the procedures for implanting them so as to permit their implantation by a broader range of physicians.
The present application describes an intravascular implantable pacing and/or defibrillation system. The described system includes a pulse generator that is implantable within a blood vessel and proportioned to allow normal blood flow through the blood vessel, and at least one lead attachable to the pulse generator. During implantation, the pulse generator is introduced into a patient's vasculature, advanced to a desired vessel and anchored in place within the vessel. The lead or leads are placed within the heart or surrounding vessels as needed to deliver electrical pulses to the appropriate location.
Cardiac Anatomy
System Components
Various examples of devices and leads will be given in this description. In those examples, reference numerals such as 12 a, 12 b, 12 c etc will be used to describe certain embodiments of the device, whereas elsewhere the numeral 12 may be used to more generally refer to devices of the type which may be used with the system 10. Likewise, reference number 14 may be used generally to refer to leads of a type that may be used with the system.
Device 12 includes components known in the art to be necessary to carry out the system functions. For example, device 12 may include one or more pulse generators, including associated batteries, capacitors, microprocessors, and circuitry for generating defibrillation and/or pacing pulses. Device also includes detection circuitry for detecting arrhythmias or other abnormal activity of the heart. The specific components to be provided in the device will depend upon the application for the device, and specifically whether the device is intended to perform defibrillation, and/or pacing along with its sensing functions.
The device 12 is proportioned to be passed into the vasculature (for example into the venous system through the right or left femoral vein or the subclavian, or into the arterial system through one of the femoral arteries), and to be anchored within the patient's vasculature with minimal obstruction to blood flow. Thus, the housing of device 12 preferably has a streamlined cross section which may be in the range of 3–10 mm or less, with a most preferred cross-section of 3–7 mm or less. The cross-section of the device (transecting the longitudinal axis) may have a circular cross-section, although other cross-sections including crescent, flattened, or elliptical cross-sections may also be used.
Given the minimal space allowed for components, it is desirable to arrange the device components so as to make efficient use of the available space. Examples of devices having space efficient arrangements of their contents are shown in
The housing is preferably covered by an electrically insulative layer or coating 21 such as ePTFE. It is desirable to provide a coating that is anti-thrombogenic (e.g. perfluorocarbon coatings applied using supercritical carbon dioxide) so as to prevent thrombus formation on the device. It is also beneficial that the coating have anti-proliferative properties so as to minimize endothelialization or cellular ingrowth, since minimizing growth into or onto the device will help minimize vascular trauma when the device is explanted. The coating may thus also be one which elutes anti-thrombogenic compositions (e.g. heparin sulfate) and/or compositions that inhibit cellular ingrowth and/or immunosuppressive agents. As will be described below in connection with
One or more leads extend from device 12 a. In the
The leads 14 a, 14 b may be conventional defibrillation/pacing leads, although alternative lead configurations may be desirable if warranted by the desired placement of the device 12 a and leads within the body. For example, the physician will preferably want to select a location for the device within a chosen vessel (i.e. the inferior or superior vena cava) that will prevent the device from blocking significant peripheral vessels extending from that vessel. Optimal leads will preferably give the physician implanting the device flexibility to position the device at an appropriate location in the chosen vessel without concern that the leads extending from the device will not reach their intended location. Thus, for some patients it may be necessary to use a lead that is slightly longer than conventional leads, or the lead may include a coiled section 100 (
For leads that are to be positioned within a chamber of the heart, the leads may be the screw-in or tined variety for fixation to the cardiac tissue, or they may have steroid-eluding tips to facilitate tissue in-growth for fixation purposes.
The leads may include non-thrombogenic and/or non-proliferative surfaces or coatings as also described above in connection with the device 12.
The leads 14 a, 14 b may be permanently or temporarily attached to the device 12 a.
Within the enclosure 20 are the electronic components 34 a, 34 b that govern operation of the device 12 a. For example, in the
Device 12 a further includes one or more batteries 36 for supplying power to the device, and one or more capacitors 38 for storing an electrical charge and for delivering stored charge to the defibrillation lead(s) 14 b and/or exposed electrode 52 on the enclosure 20. A circuit interconnect 40 provides the electrical coupling between the electronic components 34 a, 34 b, lead 14 b, electrode 52, batteries 36 and capacitors 38. Contacts 41 couple these components to the interconnect 40.
As shown in
A proximal portion of the device 12 a may include a connector 44 for receiving the distal end of positioning mandrel 18 (
A second example of an arrangement of components for the intravascular defibrillation and/or pacing device is identified by reference numeral 12 b and shown in
One variation on the
A fourth embodiment of an intravascular defibrillation and/or pacing device is identified by reference numeral 12 d and shown in
Prior to implantation, the capacitor 38 a is compressible to a streamlined condition for introduction into the body. For example, it may be placed within a delivery sheath or it may retained in a streamlined position by winding the ribbon against the mandrel and retaining it with a shorter sleeve, suture or wire etc. As yet another example, proximal tension may be imparted on the ribbon by pulling the ribbon in the longitudinal direction, thereby elongating the ribbon while reducing its overall width, much like pulling on a coiled telephone wire. Once positioned within the vessel at the appropriate site for implantation, the capacitor is released from the compressed position and springs to an expanded position within the vessel, as further discussed in the section entitled "System Implantation" below.
Although the ribbon is described as being a capacitor, it should be appreciated that a different subset of the device components may be provided in the form of a ribbon-like structure or circuit. For example, the capacitor may be similar to the capacitors 38 shown in
It should also be noted that the entire device (including the capacitors, batteries, microprocessor, electronics, etc) may take the form of a coiled ribbon flex circuit, with the components being located on the exterior or interior surface of the ribbon and with the leads coupled to the ribbon.
The device 12 is preferably able to communicate via wireless telemetry to an instrument outside of the patient's body. This is commonly referred to as device interrogation and/or programming and allows the physician to monitor the state and performance of the device. It also allows the physician to reconfigure the device in the case of programmable settings.
The circuitry used for device interrogation and/or programming can be included in all of the device embodiments, with the device telemetry antenna either encapsulated within the device enclosure or as part of the ribbon component set. The circuity may include a circuit that will respond in the presence of a magnetic field, which is a feature also known in the implantable device industry. Either of these communication means, or both, are intended to allow the device to communicate the device's status to the physician. For example, the status information may include the state of the battery system, and whether or not a therapeutic energy delivery had occurred or not. The communication might also identify the parameters the device used, including a stored electrogram, to allow reconstruction of the delivery episode by the instrument. The telemetry feature may also be used to program certain features governing function of the device, such as the threshold heart rate in beats per minute which, when detected by the device, will cause the device to provide appropriate energy therapy.
Referring again to
The anchor 16 may include features that give some structural stability to cause the anchor to radially support the device against a vessel wall. For example, a mesh or other framework 46 (
The polymeric barrier 48 is preferably formed by layers of barrier material on the interior and exterior surfaces of the framework, although it will be appreciated that the framework 46 and barrier 48 may be combined in a variety of ways to prevent thrombus formation and endothelialization on the anchor walls. As one alternative (or in addition to the polymetric barrier), the anchor material could include surfaces for eluting non-coagulative, anti-platlet (e.g. IIBIIIA glycoprotein receptor blockers), anti-proliferative, and/or anti-inflammatory substances.
The framework 46 may extend through the entire length of the anchor, or it may be included in only a portion of the anchor, such as at the proximal and distal end regions as shown in
During implantation, the anchor 16 is compressed to a streamlined positioned for passage through the vasculature. The anchor 16 may be inserted into a positioning sheath to facilitate movement through the vasculature.
Typically the anchor will be introduced after the device has been positioned at a desired location within the vessel, although if the anchor and device are integral components they will be implanted simultaneously. The anchor is advanced to a position adjacent the device, released from the sheath (if used) and expanded to a radially expanded position as shown in
It is desirable to minimize passage of blood between the anchor 16 and the device 12 so as to minimize the chance of thrombus formation and endothelialization around the device 12. For this reason, the rims 50 a, 50 b surrounding the anchor's proximal and distal openings are preferably designed to make sealing contact against the surrounding vessel tissue (and against the lead 14 b) as shown in
As will be described below, additional anchoring devices such as anchor 16 a (
As discussed, it is desirable to minimize endothelial growth onto the anchor, since endothelial growth onto the anchor 16 can make it difficult to separate the anchor and device 12 from the vessel tissue during explantation. Referring to
During implantation, the liner 17 is deployed in the desired anatomic location before the device is moved into place. The steps for deploying the liner 17 may be similar to those described above for depolying the anchor 16. Once the liner 17 is in place, the device is deployed, followed by the anchor 16, in the same manner as described elsewhere. Over time the liner may become endothelialized, particularly at its edges. However, the endothelial growth is self limiting to the edge or rim of the liner due to increasing distance from a sustaining blood supply and should not reach the inner retaining sleeve 16. Thus, when it is necessary to explant the device 12 for servicing (such as to replace a battery for example) the inner anchor 16 may be grabbed by a surgical instrument with the outer liner 17 acting as a protective layer for the vessel. The liner 17 may be left in place following removal of the anchor 16 and device 12. If the device 12 (or a replacement) is to be later re-implanted, it may be returned to its original location within the liner 17.
In an alternative implantation method, the device 12 may be "sandwiched" between the liner 17 and anchor 16 before implantation by placing the device inside the liner, then placing the anchor in a compressed position within the liner, and then expanding the anchor to engage the device between the sleeve and anchor. The three components are then compressed into a positioning sheath and introduced as described elsewhere.
System 10 (
A defibrillation lead 14 b is included with the system 10 and is anchored within the patient's left subclavian. An anchor 16 a similar to the anchor 16 may be used for this purpose. Anchor 16 a may be smaller than anchor 16 since the lead 14 b it anchors is relatively lighter than the device anchored by anchor 16, and because the anchor 16 d is positioned within the smaller-diameter left subclavian.
As discussed previously, the lead 14 b may include a coiled section 100 as shown in
Lead 14 b includes a high voltage electrode surface 54 through which the defibrillation pulse is delivered. During defibrillation, the defibrillation shock vector flows between electrode surface 54 on the lead and the electrode surface 52 on the device 12 as indicated by arrows. Orienting the electrode 52 towards the heart as shown in
Although electrode surface 52 is shown positioned towards one side of the device, it may take other forms. For example, the electrode surface may instead extend around the device body to form a band. Focusing is facilitated in this embodiment by positioning the anchor 16 against the side of the device that is furthest from the heart (as is also done in the
In the
For defibrillation, the
A third application is shown in
Dividing components into separate packages may provide several advantages. First, it allows for use of an anchor having a shorter longitudinal dimension, which facilitates placement of the anchor in a location where it will not obstruct blood flow into/from peripheral vasculature. The separate packages can be anchored by a single anchor as shown in
Second, battery life may be optimized by using separate batteries for pacing and defibrillation—thereby supporting each function with a battery type most suitable for the function and optimizing battery life. For example, one or more batteries having chemistries of the type used for pacemaker batteries (typically lithium iodide batteries which can come in very small sizes due to their high energy density) may be used for the low current pacing and sensing function. Batteries having chemistries similar to typical implantable defibrillator batteries, which are faster charging and which can produce larger current surges than pacing batteries, (e.g. LSOV) may be separately used for the defibrillation function. Third, as discussed previously, physically isolating the sensing components from the defibrillation components can improve electrical sensing performance during device charging.
An inter-device cable 60 provides communication between the components of the housings 58 a, 58 b, although other forms of communication (e.g. wireless RF, infrared, acoustic, telemetric) might also be used. As yet another alternative, the structural framework 46 of anchor 16 (
System Implantation
The system 10 may be implanted using a variety of techniques. Six examples of these techniques will next be described. Although most of the examples describe implantation through the femoral vein, it should be understood that alternate approaches (e.g. through the subclavian, or through both femoral veins) without departing from the scope of the invention.
The first implantation method will be described with respect to the device 12 d of
According to a first example of an implantation method, a small incision is formed in the femoral vein and an introducer sheath is inserted through the incision into the vein to keep the incision open during the procedure.
Next, positioning mandrel 18 is attached to the proximal end of the device 12 d. Device 12 d is advanced into the introducer sheath, and pushed using mandrel 18 (preferably under fluoroscopic visualization) to the desired location. As shown in
The anchor self-expands or is expanded using an expansion device such as balloon (not shown) inflated within the anchor's central lumen, causing the anchor to radially engage the device 12 d against the vessel wall. See
At this point in the procedure, the device is anchored at the target location. The lead extends from the device and is located outside the body. A steerable guidewire 200 is threaded through the lead 14 near the lead's free end as shown in
If the target lead location is within a vessel such as the subclavian vein 2 b as shown in
If the target lead location is within a chamber of the heart, it may be secured at the target site using conventional securing means such as a helical fixation tip or tines on the distal end of the lead.
If a second lead is to be deployed, the procedure is repeated for that lead.
According to a second implantation method, implantation of the system involves first positioning the lead(s) at the desired location (i.e. in a vessel or in a chamber of the heart) and then positioning the device at the appropriate position. As with the first method, lead implantation preferably uses over-the-wire techniques that are widely used for cardiac lead placement. Using the over-the-wire procedure, an introducer sheath is inserted into the femoral vein (or elsewhere in the vasculature) and a steerable guidewire is inserted into the introducer sheath. With the aid of fluoroscopy, the physician guides the wire to the intended lead location. For example, for positioning according to the embodiment of
Next, the lead (e.g. lead 14 b of
Implantation of the device 12 begins once the distal end of the lead has been anchored at the target location. At this point the proximal end of the lead preferably extends outside the body from the introducer sheath, which remains in the open vein. If the lead is provided as a separate component from the device, the lead is next attached to the device 12.
Next, positioning mandrel 18 (
The positioning sheath, mandrel, and introducer sleeve are withdrawn from the patient.
The third example of an implantation method is similar to the second example, but differs in that the leads and device are simultaneously advanced using the over-the-wire technique. As such, the third example is particularly useful for devices having pre-attached leads.
For the third example, the lead and/or device is modified to allow the lead to be advanced over a guidewire even though it is attached to the device. Thus, as shown in
According to the third example, an introducer sheath is inserted into the femoral vein and a steerable guidewire 200 is inserted into the introducer sheath. The physician guides the guidewire to the intended lead location as described above.
Next, the lead 14 is threaded over the guidewire. If the
If the
A fourth example of an implantation method utilizes steps from both the first and third examples and is useful for device configurations such as the
According to a fifth example, incisions are formed in the patient's subclavian 2 b and in the femoral vein and introducer sheaths are inserted into each vessel. A guidewire is passed into the introducer sheath in the subclavian, through the right atrium to the superior vena cava and through the introducer sheath in the femoral vein. The guidewire is attached to the lead in a manner similar to that described with the first example, and is then withdrawn at the subclavian incision, thereby pulling the lead into the subclavian and drawing the device 12 into the inferior vena cava. The mandrel 18 may be used as described above to facilitate "fine-tuning" of the device position. The lead and device are anchored as described above.
The "leadless" embodiment of

Device, study help predict back problems
(COLUMBUS, Ohio) – If you are fidgeting in your chair while reading this because you suffer from back pain, you're not alone. One in four Americans share your pain* and the cost to treat back problems is skyrocketing. Among Medicare patients, consider:
? Costs for steroid injections to treat back pain are up 629%*
? Pain pill prescription costs have shot up 423%*, and
? Surgeries to treat lower back pain are up 220%.*
But is all that really necessary?
Experts at the Center for Personalized Healthcare at Ohio State University Medical Center say, because we don't yet understand all we should about back pain, many patients are likely getting drugs, expensive tests or even surgeries they may not necessarily need.
"Typically in medicine we've grouped people together, and we see this across many different areas and disciplines" said Jimmy Onate, PhD, Co-Director of the OSU Sports Medicine Movement Analysis & Performance Research Program. "But no two back problems are the same, and we shouldn't take the same approach to teat them."
In an effort to more personally diagnose and treat patients, Dr. Onate has teamed up with Ohio State University's College of Engineering and Bill Marras, PhD, Director of the Biodynamics Laboratory. "What we're learning is that everybody has their own 'motion signature'" said Marras. "So, we've developed what we call personalized biomechanics models of the spine. We take a CT scan and an MRI of a patient's spine and build a model of them specifically, as opposed to a generic spine" said Marras.
Researchers then load that information into a computer and put patients through a series of tests. Patients wear a type of vest with various sensors that chart their movements with pinpoint accuracy, and plot the health of their spines.
"We'll have them basically play a video game with their back and depending on how they perform on that, that tells us whether they have a deficit or not" said Marras. "Based on that information, we can help determine how patients should be directed, whether it's education, physical therapy or some type of surgery." If an operation is necessary, added Marras, "we could work with the surgeons to help them understand the implications of their surgeries."
To put their model to the tests, researchers at Ohio State University Medical Center won't have to go far. They plan to find, test and follow a group of nurses to see just how their backs work and, if necessary, correct any issues before they get worse.
The back and, more broadly, the trunk of the body "is the foundation for every other movement" said Dr. Onate. "If you don't have control of the trunk, you really have a difficult time doing everything else." And few people know that as well as nurses. "They have to move patients, they have to help people get in and out of bed" said Marras, "so, there's often very large stresses on their spine and we're trying to look at the implications of those types of motions."
As a nurse in a rehabilitation facility, Barb Porterfield can relate. "Oh, yes. We've had different nurses who've had strained backs, who have pulled muscles" said Porterfield. "Many have been off at various times because they've pulled their backs doing something."

Student Employment (SE) Virtual Job Fair is an online event held during summer to connect Wright State University on-campus employers who need student employees beginning Fall 2015, with students who are available and eligible to work in the 2015-2016 academic year.
Event Overview
- Convenient, internet-based, electronic service.
- Employers post jobs in the Career Center database.
- Jobs are posted for the designated time period.
- Job seekers review opportunities in the Career Center database and connect with employers by accurately following the instructions in the job posting.
- The selection process may include interviews by phone or on-campus.
Info for SE Job Candidates
1. Know what jobs to look for: OnCampus-Work Study and/or OnCampus-Regular
For the Student Employment (SE) Virtual Job Fair,:
Search the Career Center database as a Guest User, looking for jobs labeled:
- SE - OnCampus-WorkStudy
- SE - OnCampus-Regular
The SE Virtual Job Fair is a time-limited event.
As they open, other jobs are posted year-round in the Career Center database, including Off Campus positions.
Am I eligible to work in a Student Employment job?
Beginning with the first year at Wright State and continuing through graduate school, all students are eligible for on-campus employment paid through departmental funds, which Wright State University Career Center calls Regular Student Employment.
Positions funded in part by federal Work-Study Awards are available for students who have been awarded and who have accepted Federal Work-Study as part of their financial aid package. These jobs are called Work-Study Student Employment.
What is Federal Work Study?
Federal Work Study (FWS) is a type of financial aid awarded to a student by the Office of Financial Aid. The Federal Work Study Program allows undergraduate and graduate students with financial need, enrolled at least half time, to earn money at an on campus or qualifying off campus job to help pay for their educational expenses.
In the Federal Work Study Program, the employer must pay 25% of the student's wages, and the federal government will subsidize the remaining 75% of the student's wages.
How do I know if I was awarded Federal Work Study, and if so, how much?
Federal Work Study (FWS) appears on the student Financial Aid Award and is viewable by the student through their WINGS account.
Students may also contact Raider Connect with questions.
Lake Campus: Students may contact Financial Aid/Student Employment Office, 170B Dwyer Hall, (419) 586-0336 or 8336.
Do I have to have Federal Work Study to work on campus?
While some departments on campus hire only students who have Federal Work Study (FWS), many others will hire students who do not have Federal Work Study.
Check the job postings in the Career Center database on the Wright State University Career Center webpage to see the specific requirements for each job posted. If the position requires Federal Work Study, that detail will be indicated in the position description.
How do I apply for Federal Work Study?
To qualify for Federal Work Study (FWS) aid, a student must meet eligibility requirements and complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by all required deadlines.
What happens if I run out of work study funds?
The student may continue to work in the position if the employing department agrees to pay 100% of the student's wages.

6. How to dress for success at the interview
- Suits are acceptable for Student Employment interviews although they are not required.
One advantage of a suit is that it can make an interviewee stand out from the crowd.
- Business casual or country club style are acceptable for Student Employment interviews.
For men, that means dark or khaki, long, sport pants, belted, with a light shirt and tie, or a golf or polo shirt.
For women, a knee length skirt, dress, or slack ensemble of a comfortable but conservative cut.
- Close toed shoes are strongly recommended.
Do not wear flip flops.
- No midriff-baring or back-baring tops for women.
- No tank tops or muscle shirts for men.
- Hair should be well cut, freshly brushed, and conservative in styling.
- In your dress, you demonstrate self-respect and your seriousness about the interview opportunity.
You are also showing your ability to dress and act appropriately in social and business situations.
You are demonstrating that you are ready for and want to work in a professional environment.
- These tips apply specifically to Student Employment job interviews.
For co-op, internship, and career employment interviews, review advice for professional dress
7. Follow tips for standing out in an online environment
The following tips will help you create a good first impression.
- Be aware of your e-mail address.
Not all e-mail addresses are appropriate for professional interaction
- Your initial e-mail, your résumé, your word selection and your ability to communicate your thoughts, questions, and ideas in a virtual arena are the first impressions that the hiring departments will have of you.
- Avoid using text abbreviations when responding to employers.
- Avoid using phonetic spellings when communicating with potential supervisors and employers.
- Be informed.
Check out the on-campus department or office on-line by visiting their web site on the WSU home page.
- Ask smart and relevant questions.
- Be courteous and professional.
After a few days, follow up with the employers to whom you submitted application materials.
8. Practice telephone interview etiquette
Phone interviews are often used to screen candidates in order to narrow the pool of applicants who will be invited for in-person interviews.
Prepare for a phone interview just as you would for a regular interview.
Here are additional tips specific to telephone interviewing.
- Keep the job posting and your résumé in clear view (on the top of your desk, or tape it to the wall near the phone) so that it's at your fingertips when you need to answer questions.
- Have a short list of your accomplishments available to review.
- Have a pen and paper handy for note taking.
- Turn call-waiting off so your call isn't interrupted.
- Clear the room - evict friends and family!
Turn off the stereo and the TV. Close the door.
- Unless you're sure your cell phone service is going to be perfect, consider using a landline rather than your cell phone to avoid a dropped call or static on the line.
- Smile - it comes through in your voice.
- Speak directly into the phone.
- Don't smoke, chew gum, eat or drink anything.
Your listener will hear; you will come across as inconsiderate and not serious about the job.
- Stand up. Your voice sounds stronger.
- Avoid ah, er, hum and other fillers.
This habit is especially noticeable on the telephone. This takes practice, so practice!
9. Face-to-face interview tips
- Dress for success using our tips elsewhere on this page.
- Bring copies of your application documents including a printout of your WINGS Express accepted Federal Work Study Award to veify your Federal Work Study award.
- Bring a copy of your class schedule.
- Make eye contact immediately when you introduce yourself.
- Use a firm (but not crushing) handshake and a strong, confident voice.
- Ask questions about the job.
- Sell yourself, with emphasis on skills you have and activities at which you have been successful.
- Be polite and attentive – do not look around the room when listening to a potential employer.
- Ask the employer about their planned timeline for making a hiring decision.
Here are some questions to ask or confirm published information about the timeline for the hiring decision:
- how many candidates are being interviewed;
- when the interviewer will be contacting candidates with the results of the initial interview process;
- whether a second round of interviews is anticipated;
- when a final hiring decision is expected;
- when the successful candidate is expected to start.
- Knowing the timeline will also provide you with timing guidelines for appropriate follow up contact.
- Ask for business card, or write down the employers name and title.
Use this information to follow up with a thank you letter and timely contact regarding the hiring process.
Appropriate follow up is an essential part of job search success.
- Chew gum.
- Bring a cell phone or children or parents to your interview.
10. Send a thank-you letter
Send a Thank You Letter
- Write a thank you letter to each person who interviewed you.
- Mention one or two positive, job-related, memorable details of the interview.
- Close the letter by indicating you look forward to hearing from them and include your telephone number and email for contact purposes.
- Send the letter within forty-eight hours of the interview.
Learn about thank you letters & review a sample
Effective follow up serves many purposes:
- it acknowledges the other person's time and consideration;
- it provides you with the opportunity to reiterate information or include new details;
- it keeps your name in front of the recruiter;
- above all, it is expected professional etiquette.
11. Know and follow the hiring timeline
The interview timeline guides the timing of your follow up contacts.
In the interview, you clarified the hiring timeline:
- how many candidates are being interviewed
- when the first round of interviews will be completed
- when the interviewer will be contacting candidates with the results of the initial interview process
- whether a second round of interviews is anticipated
- when a final hiring decision is expected
- when the successful candidate is expected to start
No interviewer wants to be bombarded by repeat phone calls or email after the interview. You do not want to be perceived as desperate, demanding, or pushy. If, however, the contact date passes that the employer established for a hiring decisions and you have not heard from the interviewer, it is appropriate to contact the interviewer and politely inquire about revised dates for the interview timeline.
12. Respond appropriately
- During your job search, you may encounter one of many outcomes to the interview process:
- You may be offered a job you want
- You may be offered a job you do not want
- You may be rejected for a job
- You may find that the hiring party fails to bring the process to a conclusion
Mainain your professional attitude
In all cases, it's critical to your success to respond professionally. Employment circles are small. Word about an indignant or angry candidate can and does travel. Always approach the interviewer and every department representative in a professional and respectful manner.
Clarify the work week, daily schedule and rate of pay
If you are offered a job, make sure both you and the employer are in agreement about the proposed work schedule, hours per week, day to day work hours, and hourly rate.
Employers on campus are generally flexible with scheduling, but may have specific student employment hours to fill, defined by their office hours.
Understand that you might not be hired for all jobs
Not being hired for a job is an inescapable part of any job search. Rather than framing it as an expression of personal dislike by the interviewer, understand this experience for what it usually represents - someone else had more of what the employer was seeking. Thank your interviewer for the opportunity and encourage them to keep you in mind for future positions.
Someone else being selected for the job is not necessarily an indication that you did something wrong. You may have done everything flawlessy, but another candidate was judged a more complete and appropriate match for the position in question.
However, it does pay to reflect on your performance. If you have had interviews, but have not had an offer or found a position that suits you, take a moment to look at how you are marketing yourself. Changes in your résumé, dress, correspondence, or interview skills may be in order. If you would like feedback on any aspect of your student employment job search, please contact a Wright State University Career Center adviser for assistance. Schedule an appointment in the Wright State University Career Center by calling the front desk, 937.775.2556.
13. Once you are hired: complete paperwork before you work
- When you are hired for a position, complete the necessary hiring paperwork with your supervisor.
- Hand carry your completed employment paperwork to the Wright State University Career Center during Student Employment processing hours, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

I kinda can't place much faith in statistics that have only had a generated report time of 8 days, lol. March 16th - 23rd.
Only 6% of iPad sessions on cell networks, even LTE iPads spend most time on Wi-Fi
Localytics has recently compiled some of their data through apps, and has concluded that only 6% of iPad sessions are made through a cellular network of some kind. They've also figured out that 89.7% of iPads out there are Wi-Fi-only, while 1.5% are the LTE-enabled new iPads. Even among new iPads, only 36% of the sessions are using 4G LTE. It's worth noting that the new iPad just went on sale in a lot of countries today, though other studies show that the U.S. takes up the lion's share of app activity.
These are some pretty interesting numbers, considering how much folks are concerned about blowing through their data caps with an LTE connection and a demanding high-resolution display. Small data buckets are likely a big factor in pushing people to using Wi-Fi over cell networks, and until plans improve, odds are things are going to stay that way.
The numbers seem accurate, at least in my experience. What about you guys - how much time do you spend using your cellular-enabled iPad outside the reach of a Wi-Fi zone?

Only 6% of iPad sessions on cell networks, even LTE iPads spend most time on Wi-Fi
This is kinda ridiculous considering people can't use their cellular data because it will be gone in a week or less. I honestly haven't used my iPad much outside of a wifi connection and I checked yesterday to find out that in less than 7 days I've already used 1.5 gb....half my plan. I'm not even on an LTE network in my area.
I think that its has a lot to do with the ridiculous data plans from most cell phone companies. just my opinion.
I've had the iPad 2 since May 2011. I have bought 1GB to use on vacation once. Use Wi-Fi 99.998644% of the time.
I travel outside the US and hotel data plans are too pricey. Really most still charge for Internet access whether wifi or using cable. The unlocked iPad allows to buy prepaid data plans and they are way cheaper than hotels plus benefit of having a faster connection. But very similar in price as in the US. So considering potential market size... but stil there is the tethering option in your phone. For those on grandfathered plans it could mean losing it and then you will be worried about overcharges, and throttling. I believe that at 40 to 50 bucks per month you should have unlimited data. And then again you will have carriers arguing network congestion for poor service.
Wifi only for me. I have an IPhone 4 for mobile data.

Reasons to Adopt an Older Dog
5 Reasons to Adopt a Senior Pet and 5 Ways to Make Them Feel at Home
Recently, Lauren Conrad couldn't resist the big brown eyes of a puppy in need at her local animal shelter, and really, who could blame her? Puppies, kittens, and other young animals tend to be adopted first because they are just so darned cute. But this means that shelters often overflow with older animals who can make even better companions than their baby-faced counterparts. As the parent of a 14-year-old Jack Russell whom I raised from a pup, I can tell you that I look fondly on her wild and wacky days at the dog park, but I appreciate these last few golden years of mellow neighborhood walks and long afternoon naps.
November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month, so in honor of all the older ladies and gents who still need a loving home, I'm providing a handful of reasons why you should consider adopting an aging pal and a few ways you can make them feel right at home.

Are Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth Still Engaged?
Is Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth's relationship singing its last song?
Harkening back to their on-again, off-again early years, the engaged stars — she of Hannah Montana fame, he of Hunger Games renown — may no longer be quite so happily engaged.
Up until late February 2013, the rumor mill was all about whether Miley and Liam had secretly tied the knot. In recent weeks, however, the speculation has taken a sharp turn for the negative, pointing to a possible rift in the couple's relationship.
The trouble-in-paradise gossip began with a story about Miley being "out of control" when Liam is away, and then got darker with a report about Liam making out with Mad Men star January Jones. The two haven't been spotted together since, with Miley hitting parties solo — sans engagement ring — and Liam chilling with friends Down Under.
"Miley is still upset with Liam. She took the ring off to make him mad," a source spills to People.
The insider adds that Miley claims they haven't split, but that Liam jetted to Australia "so they could have a break."
But according to multiple sources for Page Six, their time apart isn't quite so temporary: "Miley and Liam are done; it's over," a source says.
It's also possible that this is all one giant false alarm. After suggesting on Twitter that she hadn't been wearing her ring because she was getting it fixed, Miley posted a photo of herself in an equine onesie — and the formerly absent bling — on March 19.
Miley and Liam met and began dating in June 2009, while co-starring in the romantic drama The Last Song. A couple breakups and makeups later, Liam popped the question on May 31, 2012.
Given how adorable they are, we hope they make it through this rough patch, at least for the sake of their canine brood.

The passing of Apple co-founder, Steve Jobs, has saddened people around the world. Many of us at GoGrid have integrated Steve's visions and technology into our personal and business lives. We feel the impact of his thought-leadership and his desire to make change and do it in a big way.
Steve Jobs had the uncanny ability to see into the future, to form a market need out of thin air, and drive his magical visions to reality. He transformed the world by making technology easy and fun to use. But even that was just the beginning of his brilliance and energy to enrich our lives and change technology as we know it.
As a leader, he inspired. As a person, he captivated.

I purchased this a long time ago and was going to return it because it barely smelled. But it was going to cost me more to send it back. I will never buy this brand again. Unfortunately I purchased 3 orange ones should have stuck with one. COMPLETE BUST!
When I received this product it was leaking and sticky all over the outside. The scent was not what I had expected. I don't use it because the whole thing is gross to me.
So refreshing. Smells great in a room AND feels so good on your skin!
Great product! I use it after yoga practice and in my treatment room! My clients love it too!
