Donald Hammer, MD
Lars Svensson, MD, PhD
It has been reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that more patients die annually from aortic disease than breast cancer. It is crucial to know and understand the latest treatment options available if you have been diagnosed with a condition related to the aorta or the aortic valve. Take advantage of this rare opportunity to chat live about aorta disease with cardiologist Donald Hammer, MD and cardiac surgeon Lars Svensson, MD, PhD
jherrick: I recently had a MRI that measured my ascending aortic aneurism at 4.6 cm. I was diagnosed two years ago using a CT scan and a measurement of 4.5. In the interim, last year, an echocardiogram gave me a 4.3 reading. Why the discrepancy? Is my aneurysm growing, or is this a rounding error amongst the different methods of viewing?
Lars_Svensson,_MD,_PhD: A CT scan measures the external diameter - the echo the internal diameter, hence, the usual difference.
Lars_Svensson,_MD,_PhD: Ectasia is non-specific but usually refers to a tortuous aorta.
JLK: My wife is 53 with a bicuspid valve, and her ascending aorta was first found in 2006 to be dilated to 4.8 cm per CT scan and echo ultrasound. In August 2011 her ascending aorta measured 5.0 cm per CT/echo, and we were told by Cleveland Clinic at that time that her index score for surgery was 11.2, and surgery was recommended. However at the beginning of this year, she increased her dose of Cozaar from 50mg/day to 100mg/day, and this past February (after one month on the increased dosage), her echo ultrasound of ascending aorta showed that the measurement had decreased to 4.7 cm from 5.0. What is her index now, and does she still need to have surgery right away or can we wait?
Donald_Hammer,_MD: I would rely heavily on the CT measurement which is far less prone to error. Based on the last CT findings I would think your wife remains a candidate for surgery.
molemanmsb: Im wondering: I had chest tightness actually for the past 7/8 days, with sometimes flickering pain and sometimes breathlessness and tingling on my left side of my fingers and toes. Had relaxed ECG, Blood Test, Urine Test and X-Ray and they all came out normal. What could be the cause? I'm 20 years old. Doctor said Intercostal muscle but I don't really feel pain. Please reply and inform me about your thoughts. He checked my nerve as well by assessing me when I raised my arms and hands straight up in the air which was ok.
In addition to this recently I've been having a tiny amount of blood in my saliva but a real tiny amount. Im also fasting eighteen hours a day because I'm muslim and its ramadhan. I'm also having abdominal pain for a few days now like a day after ramadhan started. He checked me with a stethoscope even just above my abdomen and it was normal with my clothes on though?? Although the abdomen pain has resolved itself the chest pain hasn't and I sneezed out a tiny piece of yellow thin piece with what looks red patches and have two blood tiny spatters on my pillow. I don't have nose bleeds.
Donald_Hammer,_MD: You need to see a physician. Consider an echocardiogram, make certain we are not dealing with pericarditis. And go from there.
kmo123: I'm a 58 yr. old man who's always been very athletic. After a heart attack 12 months ago, I had my ascending aorta replaced, along with CABGx3. 9 months ago, one of the bypass grafts became 90% blocked, and I was given a stent. I've gone through cardiac rehab, and try to exercise regularly (swimming, weights and stretching). In the past few months, I've had periods of extreme exhaustion, shortness of breath and chest pain, usually 1-2 days a week. On these days, I can barely get out of bed, and I sleep most of the day. Stress echo and nuclear stress tests don't show any reason for these symptoms, nor did the spirometer test that my PCP administered. Can you recommend any other things that my doctors should be looking for, or any possible reasons for the symptoms?
Donald_Hammer,_MD: Your question is difficult to answer but yes I would think further evaluation is indicated. We would be happy to do so at Cleveland Clinic.
figme: What is your opinion of a 5cm thoracic aneurysm. I have had this condition for 11 years since it was discovered while my aortic valve was being replaced. I have no symptoms, swim 30 laps and bicycle 11 miles, and feel good.
Donald_Hammer,_MD: I have additional questions for you. How old are you? How tall are you? Why was your aortic valve replaced (was it a bicuspid valve?). Before answering your question we would need more information.
dlrv: I have dilations of the ascending aorta 3.7-4cm transverse, supra renal aorta 2.9 x 3.2 and main pulmonary artery suggestive of pulmonary arterial hypertension. This is complicated my tortuous carotid and ocular vessels, Left ventricular hypertrophy, left atrium dilation and aortic and branch calcifications. An ER doctor became very concerned calling the one an aneurysm my family doctor sent me to a second doctor who said they are probably related to my RA and said he was "not really concerned". Are dilations of that size significant and do I need to seek a third opinion?
Donald_Hammer,_MD: Your aorta is mildly enlarged. There are a number of questions implied here. First, does the enlargement of the aorta have any relationship to your inflammatory disorder (RA)? But there are other etiologies to be considered such as hypertension, presence of a bicuspid aortic valve and so forth. The suggestion of pulmonary artery HTN is a separate question here that I can't begin to answer without additional data. Have you had an echo? If so - what were the findings? Please reply.
Dr. Frank: How does BSA or body surface area calculation affect the diagnosis, monitoring, and prognosis of aortic expansions beyond what seems typical, as, for example, mid-thoracic norm of 3.5 in a 6 foot 190 lb man who by ECHO and MRI registers a 4.1? 66 yr old male, 190 lbs, 5 ft 11 in, with MRI/ECHO mid ascending aorta of 4.1. Is this WNL or considered dilatation or aneurysm, etc.?
Donald_Hammer,_MD: Age, height, and body surface area have an effect on determinants of normal as you know. At 5'11" and 66 years of age, an aorta of 4.1 cm is just beyond normal, or mildly enlarged.
jherrick: I have an ascending aortic aneurysm, will a low BP, say 110/70, and a low BMI significantly increase the likelihood of my aneurysm remaining stable?
Donald_Hammer,_MD: They are helpful. Much of this depends on size at the present time and cause.
Vicki B: Thank you for inviting me. I am not certain if the aneurysm is at the root or higher on the ascending aorta. Will this affect treatment options or are they already limited by the fact that it is an ascending aortic aneurysm? I have been told the valve is fine even though the murmur has been present for many years.
My main reason for coming to Cleveland Clinic in the first place is that my current surgeon is recommending I wait until the aneurysm grows up to 6.0 before surgery. The American Heart Association recommendations suggest surgery at 5.5. I am not willing to wait longer than the AHA recommends. At what point do you recommend surgical intervention? Cleveland Clinic comes highly recommended. Therefore it is my first choice when seeking care for this condition. I already feel pain and as a side sleeper pull my shoulder back because my chest is uncomfortable when my upper arm is forward. I am due for another cat scan August 2nd. What are my treatment options if it has grown?
Lars_Svensson,_MD,_PhD: It is difficult to answer your question without knowing what your age is and if you have any underlying pathology. When we wrote the AHA guidelines, we chose 5.5 cm based on the literature as the cut off for patients who have no other predisposing factor for complications. This has to be taken into consideration in relation to all other factors. If a murmur is from a bicuspid valve, then we would tend to operate earlier. We would be happy to evaluate you.
Blumen: Hello Dr. Hammer, I am a 56 year old male with a couple of aneurysms/dilations. I have an ascending aortic aneurysm 4.8 x 5.0 cm, a right common iliac @ 2.2 cm, my aortic root is 4.3cm, and my external iliac's measure 1.5 and 1.4. I also have leakage at the aortic valve and my left ventricle measures 1.4cm. Also, I have had several eye surgeries for huge retinal tears (vitrealectomy, lensectomy, a buckle around one eye...) I also have a hiatal hernia (GERD), axial motor neuropathy, three foot surgeries for bone extrusions, one surgery even included a pelvic hip harvest to try to get the big toe longer (My two toes next to my large toe, on both feet, are both longer than my great toe). My question is: Is there a link to these conditions and is it important to do a test for a collagen type of disease? I am pretty frustrated because it seems like I am seeing doctors who only address issues in their field and it seems as if things just keep adding up. I am a veteran of 26 yrs/VA.
Donald_Hammer,_MD: From your description and extent of problems, my first concern would be whether or not you have a connective tissue disorder. I would be happy to evaluate your situation at the Clinic.
Spiderman: I had my aorta valve replaced in February of 2007, with a biological valve (pig's valve), in may of 2011, a MRI revealed a 5cm thoracic aortic aneurysm. A cat scan of Dec 2011 the aneurysm measured 4.9cm, My question is this; is it more likely than not, that the aneurysm is related or caused by the spectrum of the bicuspid diseased value?
Lars_Svensson,_MD,_PhD: The likelihood is that the aneurysm is related to the underlying bicuspid valve pathology. Your aorta will need long term follow up and if the size exceeds about 5.2 - 5.3 cm, depending if you have any co-morbidities, it may require repair.
Nana333: Have you seen a 3.9 ascending aortic aneurysm that stayed at 3.9? How quickly should I expect to need surgical intervention with such an aneurysm?
Donald_Hammer,_MD: First of all, I would not define your aorta to be aneurysmal at this size. It may actually be upper limits of normal or at most mildly enlarged. This would depend on your age, height and body surface area. Knowing these, we could determine whether or not this is a long term concern or simply upper limits of normal.
cardio_al: Hello. I have a thoracic aortic aneurysm 3.9 cm. also, diagnosed with coronary artery disease, carotid artery plaque of 50-70% left side.. Also atrial fibrillation. I have regular visits to keep monitored these conditions. No operations so far. So.. what advice for the best preventative measures for me now? Thank you.
Donald_Hammer,_MD: How old are you? By that I mean your management with in particular atrial fibrillation is dependent on advanced age; other risks for stroke. Prevention of the latter may be simply low dose aspirin if you have a CHADS or CHADS-VASc of 0 -1 - or if higher - then coumadin. In addition, the presence of mild to moderate aortic disease would suggest the prudence of lipid lowering treatment, to be specific a statin as well as dietary alteration.
Albertskiba1: Have you seen many patients that have had the "Ross Procedure" where after time their replacement aortic valve starts to fail and an aortic aneurysm is created? I had this procedure in 1999 and they had to reduce the aortic root down to 3.7 cm and now I am at 5.2 cm. Does the same "rule of thumb" of 5.5 cm before repair still exist or should I be looking at a different metric to determine when to repair?
Lars_Svensson,_MD,_PhD: As a general rule, we try and find out what the first operation was for. If it was for bicuspid valve and the aorta has been enlarging, we tend to operate again when it gets to about 5.2 - 5.3 cm.
D.Ray : I have an Aorta dissection which was torn by my high blood pressure almost 2 years ago with no measurable changes since. If no changes continue will I still need to have surgery or will I continue to live with this as long as I control my blood pressure?
Donald_Hammer,_MD: Without knowing more information, such as the size of your dissection, its extent, and cause, I am unable to satisfactorily answer your question. In general, the likelihood of additional surgery over 5 years of follow up is at least 50%. Again, this is dependent on cause, size, location and extent of the dissection among other risk criteria for further remodeling or enlargement. Certainly, it is imperative that your blood pressure is well controlled as I assume has been the case to this point. But I would be more definitive in answering your question with additional information such as above.
Up The Creek: I have an ascending (thoracic) aorta aneurysm that was discovered November 2012. I was told it was next to the heart. Big surprise to me. It was 41mm at that time. It was checked again in April and was 45mm. I am due for recheck in September. I do have some chest discomfort at times. I was advised by a physician (not my cardiologist) that it might be a good idea to see a surgeon just for awareness. If I do have surgery, of course, I am interested in the least invasive procedure. I have heard there may be one where the surgery is done through the side of the back. Am I being too concerned even thinking about surgery at this point? Thanks.
Donald_Hammer,_MD: From your description, that is location of your enlarged aorta, I am to assume this is the ascending segment. This can be managed by minimally invasive surgery but one that requires a small sternal incision rather than lateral chest approach. The more concerning issue here is rate of change. Appropriately, you have been recommended a follow up at 6 months. Further changes in dimension might necessitate surgery in the near future but this is to be determined. I would indeed suggest consulting cardiothoracic surgeon for a second opinion and one that at least gives you the opportunity to be followed closely.
knute: Is it possible to repair an ascending aneurysm on the aortic valve minimally invasively. Thank you.
Lars_Svensson,_MD,_PhD: Yes. We routinely do ascending aortic repairs and aortic valve repairs or replacements with a minimally invasive keyhole approach.
email@example.com: What are the primary/best methods for repairing an aneurysm at the sinus of valsalva (5mm in diameter, normal Ao valve and normal remainder of Ao diameters)?
Lars_Svensson,_MD,_PhD: The operation we mostly do for repair of aortic root aneurysms exceeding 5 cm is a modified David reimplantation of the aortic valve with preservation of the aortic valve. Have a look at our youtube video and that will show the operation (and also our website). we have done over 420 of these operations and the risk of death is about 0.5% after the operation. The long term durability of the repair is such that 95% of patients have not needed another operation within 10 years of surgery and by 20 years it will probably be about 85-90%.
Sra Fran: I am scheduled for surgery on my ascending aorta at the Clinic on Tues. Is an aneurysm normally a one time thing, or does this 'disease' sometimes reoccur? Also, does surgery fix the problem well enough that one can resume high energy activities enjoyed before without concern?
Donald_Hammer,_MD: Your question is appreciated. I have very little detail to determine the best answer. You do not specify location, size, and or extent of the aneurysm nor do you state its underlying cause. These all have a bearing on long term expectations. I would be certain to ask this of your surgeon prior to undergoing surgery or at the very least subsequent so that you can be properly apprised of your long term expectations.
wjsg: What is the abdominal aortic aneursym measurement at which surgery is recommended? And---are there complications with an existing hiatal hernia---one in which quite a large amount of the stomach has protruded above the opening of the diaphragm?
Lars_Svensson,_MD,_PhD: The size at which surgery is recommended is somewhat dependent on whether stent can be used. The literature is somewhat mixed and much depends on age, co-morbid disease such as hiatal hernia and how extensive the repair is that needs to be done. As a generalization, most aneurysms more than 5.5 cm below the renal arteries are repaired and above the renal arteries greater than about 6 cm.
kahuna8: Eligibility/Decision logic for TAVR vs Open Heart - is it a MD/Patient decision or dictated by insurance/Medicare? I am Medicare/Tricare for Life. Risk of complications as to the above - in other words risk/reward. Age 77, excellent overall health, 46mmHg mean gradient, valve area .95cm2. Ejection fraction - 55. Thank you. Henry W.
Donald_Hammer,_MD: The decision concerning TAVR vs. minimally invasive AVR is dependent on the patient's comorbid disease. At Cleveland Clinic, for the last 2 years our risk of death for a minimally invasive AVR has been 0.4% to 0.6%. In most studies including the PARTNER trial that we participated in, the mortality rate has been 3.5% - 6% and indeed in the PARTNER trial the risk of stroke with transfemoral TAVR was 3 times higher than AVR. (4.6% vs. 1.4%, p=0.04)
mlr09: Hello. I had a heart cath on 10/31/12 that showed a bicuspid aortic valve, mild stenosis, moderate regurgitation and a mildly dilated aortic root. No blockages. My dr. advised me not to let my heart rate go above 120, no sit-ups and no weights. Now, without any further testing, he says I can lift weights up to 10 lbs. Do you agree that this is safe? My next echo will be very soon. Should I wait for results or start using my weights again? Also, he told me my aortic root was "softened" and in most people it's more stiff. I can't find any info on a "softened" aorta online. Can you tell me more about this?
Donald_Hammer,_MD: It would be in your best interest to gather more specific information regarding size of aorta; aortic valve gradients; and a more careful assessment of the degree of insufficiency to answer your question. However, the presence of mild or mod valvular insufficiency in the absence of a frankly dilated aorta should not prevent you from moderate aerobic exercise. Whether or not heavy weight training is permissible is another matter - one I would tend to avoid in this situation. But - 10 pounds seems to be a rather restrictive recommendation and I think we could be far more liberal than that.
kjg48: My son is now 16 years old and was born with a bicuspid aortic valve. Since the age of two, when a murmur clued us in, the function of the valve has been monitored through EKG and echo once a year. No significant amount of blockage or insufficiency has been noted to date. However, about 18 months ago, some growth in the diameter of his ascending aorta was noted during his first MRI, but not enough to warrant any activity change beyond the no chest impact recommendation that he has always had. Six months ago, December 2012, his echo/EKG appointment showed significant growth in the aortic diameter, up from ~3.9 cm to the 4.3-4.4 cm range. Based on this change, he has been advised to no longer run competitively, one of his passions, and we are restricting him to the lower left four quadrants of the activity chart for athletes with aortic aneurysms. He was also diagnosed type 1 diabetes 14 months ago. Finally, my questions are: when should surgery be considered? What are the surgical options? Will the valve need to be a part of the surgical procedure? Will he ever be capable of "normal" physical activities again? Thank you so much for your consideration, Keith.
Lars_Svensson,_MD,_PhD: Based on the size and activity and that he is still growing, it would be safest that he not participate in any contact sport or any sport that involves rapid upper chest movement like baseball and tennis. If he is of normal height we would not typically recommend surgery unless he gets to about 5 cm unless there is rapid growth.
Adelino: Hi and Thank You for taking my question. I've been diagnosed with an ascending aorta aneurysm it's 4.2 cm, MRI, no Marfans, 3 leaflets, normal EKG, no other heart issues. I was told by the Cleveland rep never to play golf even though all my cardiologist doctors and surgeon say play. I will listen to the CC, but my question is after surgery is it possible to play golf again? Wanted to become a PGA teaching Pro and if I could never play golf again I need to re-think my future. I'm 49 years old.
Donald_Hammer,_MD: From your description of aortic size your aorta is mildly enlarged, without an underlying disorder that would pose high risk for dissection, I would not think that golf in particular would put you at any major risk and you can continue to play. The aorta should be periodically monitored however and conservatively every year for now.

During last Thursday evening's BigMarker session, we briefly spoke about the Thai commercial, Disconnect to Connect, which I had seen previously and really enjoyed watching again. I also came across another video which was new to me, a video from the Philippines, Disconnect to Reconnect. It is a little long (almost 12 minutes), but completely worth it and made me reflect on the need for myself to be a good role model at showing my students a sense of balance when using technology. Go ahead, watch it, if you have some time. You'll enjoy it!
2 thoughts on "Disconnect to Reconnect"
I really like your video on " Disconnect to reconnect" its really amazing because it demonstrate the reality when i start blogging i wrote on the same topic.As it is the reality i wish every one uses the technology wisely in balanced manner.Since we need social life some times it is alright to give time to other activities and other people too. other wise we will lose our social lives.You know this days i couldn't see my friends often because they are completely attached to their mobile and laptop.It is like addiction as most of them couldn't improve,thus i can say even if technology is helpful in terms of social life it has some setbacks to avoid this we need to have self discipline in order to save our social lives.

Only five girls previously have won the Girls' 14s Junior Orange Bowl tennis title the year after winning the Girls' 12s. If Abigail Desiatnikov falls short of becoming the sixth, it won't be because of mental toughness.
With her serve weakening and high forehand getting more erratic in direct proportion to her right shoulder pain increasing, Desiatnikov fought off resilient Maria Tanesescu 6-3, 6-3 to reach Sunday's semifinals of the Girls 14s at the University of Miami Schiff Tennis Center.
Desiatnikov also had a two-day old blister on her right hand that came open after the start of the second set. The shoulder started hurting her three days before the tournament.
"When I serve or hit that [high forehand], a sharp pain goes through my arm," Desiatnikov said. "It's really hard and I just block it out."
Saturday made the diminutive 12-year-old 12 for 12 in Junior Orange Bowl matches.
Up 2-0 in the second set and with Tanescescu up to a racquet slam per game (earning some long looks from the chair umpire), Desiatnikov looked like a service game from a rout. That's when her shoulder sent her serve south. A double fault-filled service break got Tanescescu back into the match. And Tanescescu's high topspin shots put even more stress on Desiatnikov's shoulder through a 10-minute game that brought Tanescescu to 2-2.
Each held her serve until Desiatnikov broke Tanescescu for a 5-3 lead. She held for the match, grabbing and massaging her right arm after every other point.
Desiatnikov now plays No. 2 seed Californian Claire Liu, also a gutsy winner, 7-6, 1-6, 6-4 over Kylie McKenzie. Liu played a three-and-a-half hour three-setter Friday that ended at 5 p.m., then appeared to be fading against McKenzie in the third set at about the same time as Desiatnikov escaped Tanescescu. Instead, Liu fought back for a second consecutive three-set win.
The winner of that match will play the winner of No. 1 seed Marketa Vondrousova vs. Vanessa Wong. Vondruousova trounced Ashley Lahey 6-0, 6-1 while Wong upset No. 5 seed Kayla Day, 6-4, 7-5.
The Boys 12s No. 1 seed, Adam Neff, came off his three hour, 40-minute Friday match and had to face No. 5 seed Sebastian Grundtvig at 10 a.m. Saturday. Grundtvig pulled away in the final set, 7-6, 5-7, 6-1. Grundtvig's opponent Sunday will be No. 9 Juan Cerundolo, conqueror of No. 5 Alexander Zgirovsky 2-6, 7-6, 7-6. In the other Boys 12s semifinal, Wojciech Marek, who took out Mihailo Popovic 2-6, 7-6, 6-4, faces Nicolas Alvarez Varona, stuffer of Cannon Kingsley, 6-3, 6-1.
The No. 1 seed in the Girls 12s, Anastasiya Potapova, won 6-1, 6-2 against No. 9 Natasha Subhash. Potapova now faces No. 5 Xiyu Wang, who knocked out No. 3 Ekaterina Makarova, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. On the other half of the Girls 12s draw, Boca Raton's Hurricane Tyra Black lost five games, one more than she has in her first four matches combined, in beating No. 5 Olga Danilovic 6-2, 6-3. Black faces Amanda Anisimova Sunday morning after Anisimova beat Thasaporn Naklo 7-6, 6-2.
Boys 14s No. 2 Miomir Kecmanovic gets Alex de Minaur in the semis after Kecmanovic beat Sam Riffice 6-4, 6-4 and de Minaur took out Max Stewart, 6-2, 2-6, 6-1. Qualifier Axel Geller got to Sunday by beating Yshai Oliel, 6-4, 6-2. There, Geller will find Kyrylo Tsygura, who took out Alexei Popyrin, 6-2, 7-6.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 29 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by jitjit Looks great Looks great. Haven't used this item yet, but appears to be very good quality. This item is ASDA branded and is a poly-cotton blend, which is great. All the other cars sheets on the market are made of microfibre, which doesn't hold well against the duvet. Great stuff asda! 29 January 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Eversohappy Great buy for Disney cars fan I bought this for my 6 year old sons birthday and he loves it. Francesco is his favourite and this was the only quilt cover I could find with him on it. The material could be a bit softer but my son couldn't be happier. 18 December 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by pk13 great polycotton mix duvet set! My 4 year old son loves disney cars so he was over the moon with this duvet set and as a mum I would highly recommend it for it's polycotton mix which washes well, keeps its' vibrant colour and is softer on their skin. I made the mistake of buying a 100% viscose set before which kept coming away from the duvet but this stays put all night! 08 January 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by zoeiangel Well Worth It I bought the Cars single duvet cover for my son and he absolutely loves it. The colours are fabulous and bright, the material is soft and snug. I would definately reccommend this duvet cover to other moms to buy for their little boys. 15 May 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by GailK1 Great item for Cars fans! I struggled to find Lightning McQueen duvet sets for my sons when they upgraded to a full sized bed and this item is perfect. The polycotton blend washes well and is great quality. The duvet cover is reversible but the boys are not impressed with the black and white side, so we only use the full-colour version. Definitely a good purchase! 03 September 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 Son loves it!! Bought this for my 4 year old son. He absolutely loves it! The design is lovely, there is the red side that was shown in the pictures, but on the back of the pillow and duvet cover there is a modern black and white design which seems a bit more suitable for an older child. 05 July 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by daisymoo01 great value Great value duvet covers, my sons were very pleased with them. The reverse side is quite uninteresting however (black&white) and despite a 30 degree wash the white turned slightly pink after the first wash . 23 February 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bazil76 Fun duvet cover This is a fun duvet cover which was bought for my Son. I was keen to buy this one from Asda as other Lightening McQueen duvet covers in other stores are blue and my son has a red bedroom. 17 December 2012

"This card came out absolutely beautiful and I am very impressed with the colors and overall design. The gold color is very rich. The font and text is just what I wanted. The photo printed perfect. Not to mention, customer service was so helpful and very accommodating. Would highly recommend this product."
"This is the most unique card with beautiful colors! We used the card for our second son's birth announcement and received so many compliments! This is my second time ordering from tiny prints and I will continue to do so. The cards are such great quality!"
"I was thrilled with the results of our son's birth announcement. This design is timeless and I loved being able to include our daughter as well. Service and quality are top-notch. I highly recommend the free designer review at checkout. I didn't notice any delay in shipping and it was nice having a extra pre-printing review (especially for this sleepy momma)."
"What an amazing product. I have gotten more phone calls and emails asking where I got my son's birth announcements. They turned out just like they showed on the previews. VERY fast service and a great product. Also very easy to edit and add your information to the card. I would highly recommend them."
"I am impressed with the quality of the card. I got it with the pearl finish. The subtleness of the finish makes the card look luxurious."

Mark's been having a great time testing out the quality of surf accessories from Komunity Project and their standard is beyond compare. These products are designed by surfers (including 11x World Champion, Kelly Slater) with innovative details that make these products really stand out.
For example, the Komunity leg-rope has a new invention called 'the worm' which is a simple hard plastic device that helps thread the leg-rope through the plug on the board. Every surfer knows this can be a time consuming process and this simple device is magic.
What's next for Mark's third and final test?
The next test in the series of adventures takes Mark just off the coast of Beqa; one of only a handful of islands in Fiji that still dive with sharks.
All the action was out on the water last week in Fiji. Pro surfers were there to compete in the ASP Women's WCT event and some of the WCT guys showed up early when a solid SSW swell arrived at Cloudbreak. There was a flurry of film crews capturing every moment on the water for a new Samsung ad and Korean Documentary - 'brought to you by Samsung'.
Tackling the world's biggest waves requires precise planning, a cool head and a brave heart. Mark Visser talks to Jarna Baudinette from My Weekly Preview.

The Cancer Bomb: The WDM's New Exhibit Highlights U of S Nuclear Medicine Innovation
SASKATOON, SK – No, it didn't bomb countries. In 1951, the cobalt-60 "bomb" for treating cancer was developed at the University of Saskatchewan by a dedicated team of scientists and machinists. Since then, thousands of Canadian cobalt-60 units have provided radiation treatment for millions of cancer patients around the world.
The original Cobalt-60 Beam Therapy Unit, also known as the cobalt bomb, is now on display at the Saskatoon Western Development Museum (WDM). The Cancer Bomb, a permanent exhibit sponsored by PotashCorp, honours the 60th anniversary of the first successful treatment of cancer with this machine at University Hospital in Saskatoon.
"As a local company with global reach, we felt it was important to help profile the ground-breaking work of Saskatchewan's Cobalt-60 team and the hope they have given to people around the world," said Denita Stann, PotashCorp's Vice President of Investor and Public Relations.
Joan Champ, the exhibit's curator, agrees: "The cobalt bomb is a shining example of Saskatchewan's innovation in health care research – an innovation that had a worldwide impact," she said. "Dr. Harold Johns and his colleagues at the University of Saskatchewan's Department of Physics were the first in the world to build a machine that successfully treated a cancer patient with an accurately calibrated dose of cobalt-60 radiation."
The cobalt bomb was designed by Dr. Johns and built by Saskatoon machinist John MacKay, owner of the Acme Machine and Electric Company. Dr. Johns' graduate students, including former lieutenant governor Dr. Sylvia Fedoruk, assisted with the design and calibration of the machine.
Radioactive cobalt from the unit attacked tumours that lay deep within the body, thus bringing more cancers within reach of treatment. In November 1951, the first Saskatoon patient, a 43-year-old mother of four, was treated for cervical cancer with a carefully calibrated dose of cobalt-60 radiation from this machine. She lived another 47 years. The cure rate for cervical cancer soon went from 25% to 75%.
By the 1960s, the cobalt-60 machine was standard equipment for radiation therapy world-wide. This cobalt unit treated 6,728 patients until it was replaced with newer technology in 1972. These machines are still in use in many developing countries that do not have the resources for state-of-the-art therapy.
The exhibit opening will be held on Sunday, December 4, 2011 at 1:00 p.m. at the Saskatoon Western Development Museum, 2610 Lorne Avenue South.
Following the formal opening ceremony, the WDM has organized, in partnership with the University of Saskatchewan, a discussion by a panel of experts from the field of nuclear medicine on the legacy of the cobalt bomb at 2:15 p.m.:
Keynote: Dr. David Pantalony, Canada Science and Technology Museum, Ottawa: Made in Saskatchewan: Nuclear Medicine Innovation and Impact With images and artifacts, Dr. Pantalony will briefly trace the origins and far-reaching impact of Saskatchewan's innovations in nuclear medicine, highlighting how the U of S has become a powerhouse in nuclear medicine.
- Dr. Paul Babyn, U of S College of Medicine and Saskatoon Health Region, will present a brief overview of PET/CT scanning and progress on plans for clinical and research applications.
- Dr. Dean Chapman, U of S Canada Research Chair in X-Ray Imaging, will discuss the unparalleled imaging capabilities of the Canadian Light Source for the study and treatment of disease.
- Dr. John Root, Interim Director of the Canadian Centre for Nuclear Innovation, will introduce the CCNI which will enable a new generation of pioneers to explore and develop their ideas for the nuclear medical imaging and therapies of the future.
An Information Fair will showcase the work of research and community organizations involved in cancer research.

In the main event, ROC Heavyweight Champion Brendan Barrett (10-5-1) defeated Justin Woods (4-1) via TKO in the second round. In the early going, Barrett and Woods were cautious to exchange as both men were weary of one another's punching power. The fight went to the mat where Woods showed off a nice escape and got a front face lock on Barrett as the two powerhouses continued to struggle for positional dominance inside the cage.

It's the story of an obscure local amateur side that, 20 years ago, were at the bottom rung of German football. The story of a local lad done good that returned to the side he played for in his youth and put his money where his mouth is. It's the story of the fastest rising side in Europe. It's the story of 1899 Hoffenheim.
Founded on the first day of 1899, over the next 111 years Hoffenheim made a steady if unspectacular ascent to the fifth tier of German football. Dann kehrte im Jahr 2000 der ehemalige Spieler und Software-Magnat Dietmar Hopp zur Mannschaft seiner Jugend zurück und gestaltete den Verein um. The billionaire ploughed his own funds into making this team from the countryside a force in German football through sustained growth and by investing in a youth system, academy and a €100 million new stadium.
This investment had instant results. In the two seasons after Hopp took charge, the villagers secured consecutive promotions, and the next season they made a creditable debut in the German Cup. Following a couple of years of consolidation, Hopp was ready to invest again and built a team of young and hungry players who won back to back promotions to the top tier of German football.
The speed of Hoffenheim's climb to the top table is astonishing. Besonders wenn man bedenkt, wie das Geld ausgegeben wurde. Es wurde nicht vorgeschlagen, dass Hoffenheim sofortigen Erfolg erreichen sollte, indem erfahrene Spieler unter Vertrag genommen werden sollten, die einen letzten Gehaltsscheck einkassieren wollten. It is a club with a sustainable professional structure, not a billionaire's plaything. At some clubs an injection of cash can spell the end of opportunities for young players to progress, yet Hopp plans to stay in the top flight while bringing through as many homegrown players as possible by using the fantastic scouting network he has implemented.
Now an established team in the German top-flight, and with Hopp committed to the cause, it would be no surprise to see Hoffenheim challenging for the title in the next few years.
How Did They Do That? The 1899 Hoffenheim Timeline
2000 Dietmar Hopp takes over
2000-2002 Consecutive promotions
