Blogging GALA :: Day One
Your columnist rose bright and early and with a terrific headache... despite not having drunk a drop the (all-too-late) night before, even though I'd gone to a party at local gay spot X Bar, hosted by the New York Gay Men's Chorus. The place had been jam-packed and both dance floors (one upstairs, one down) were throbbing with music and happy chorines.
Your humble columnist avoids combining drink and dance (he's already awkward when stone cold sober), and so had not imbibed. So why the splitting head? Denver is in the desert, and anybody not used to the dry air, even a New Mexico native who has spent too long living in a coastal city, needs to make a concerted effort to stay hydrated. Neglect your water intake and you'll know. Oh yes, you will know. They say 3 liters per day is a rule of thumb for a man, and that's even if you don't live in the desert. Add another liter or two when visiting a dry place.
Sunday commenced with a hearty breakfast; food is as important as water, especially when it comes to managing jet lag. Then the day took off at a run and never slowed down. For the already-dehydrated, it was gonna be a challenge...
Coffee Concerts
GALA's "coffee concerts" are morning programs in which choruses have more time to present programs than they do in the standard afternoon concert blocks. Because programs are ongoing all three venues all the time, no one can possibly see everything; like everybody else, yours truly was faced with the tough and sometimes impossible task of picking and choosing from an array of irresistible musical offerings.
Nonetheless, Sunday's shows offered a few standouts that I just could not miss.
The Gay Men's Chorus of Washington, D.C., have created a masterpiece of musical theater called "Alexander's House." Commissioned from composer Michael Shaieb for the group's 30th anniversary season, the hour-long show details how a man named Alexander strove to live a heterosexual life even though he was gay. When he finally emerged from the closet, his wife divorced him and refused him any contact with their young son.
The show's prelude sketches out how Alexander, post-divorce, fell in love with another man, made a happy life with him, and died unexpectedly. He left the summer home he'd shared with his life partner and their close friends to his long-estranged son, now 25, a young man who never knew why his father was absent from his life. (His mother simply told him that his father had been "too selfish" to be a good father.)
The piece is funny and touching by turns, but it's a stack of birthday gifts for the boy, returned by Alexander's ex-wife that brings a tear to event the most jaundiced eye. The moment when the young man, already grappling with the revelation that his gay father had loved him and not wanted to be excluded from his life, opens a gift boxed years before is simply indescribable. In one moment, the utter and horrifying injustice dealt out to gay parents by fearful, ignorant, and vituperative former spouses (and unkind family courts) hits home. You know the phrase "Not a dry eye in the house?" In this instance, that's no exaggeration.
The Heartland Men's Chorus brought their A-Game with surefire smash hit "When I Knew," part of a series of musical "documentaries"--in this case, stories drawn from the group's members about when they realized they were gay or at least "different."
Sex columnist, political gadfly, author, and "It Gets Better" co-founder Dan Savage was on hand as a special guest to narrate the show, which mixed visuals (photos, graphics), narration, and song to describe the experiences (some painful, some triumphant) of gay boys figuring it out and learning how to stand up for themselves in an often-hostile world. One bit of sage advice from a fellow who dressed up as a Brownie for Halloween in elementary school and drew the attention of a bully: A well-chosen purse makes for an awesome accessory and, when filled with rocks, and even better anti-bully system. The house filled with cheers at this.
But the audience spent as much time sniffling as uttering accolades. When Savage ended the show with a recounting of how the It Gets Better Project started, and the effect it's had in terms of saving lives and educating and empowering at-risk GLBT youths, their parents, and the teachers who are supposed to be keeping them safe at school, there were cheers; but an epilogue brought everyone back to the sobering reality that the fight is far from over and the casualties still mount.
"In Memoriam," a projected title read, and about a dozen images appeared, one by one, with no names; only faces and ages, the scant years they'd seen when they died, driven to suicide by bullies. After writing aggregate news stories for EDGE for years, I knew the names and the stories that went with those faces, and just about dissolved in my seat.
Seth Walsh. Asher Brown. Justin Aaberg. Billy Lucas. Tyler Clementi. So many others.
Let us not forget.
Accentuating the Positive
More laughter and tears awaited the afternoon audience in attendance at the New York City Gay Men's Chorus performance of "Accentuate the Positive: Telling New Stories About Living with HIV/AIDS." The show was edited down from its full-length version to fit into the half hour allotted to each chorus included in concert blocks (otherwise, concert blocks would be much harder to program and schedule). The New York boys came on at the tag end of a block that had also featured the Rainbow Women's Chorus, Tone Cluster, and Harmony, the latter of which was a local ensemble that waved state flags at one point while singing, "Color me Colorado." (It was adorable.)
The show began and ended with Morten Lauridson's composition "Sure on This Shining Night," with lyrics by James Agee. In the middle, the show was presented in the format of a nature documentary, and addressed HIV in a touching manner. The narration described the habits of the "HIV-Positive Lower Manhattan Resident," including mating rituals, family dynamics, and seasonal behavior. A character disclosing his status did so through tap dance, a brilliantly apt metaphor; again and again he encountered results that were "other than the desired" outcome (rejection by a prospective partner, having to comfort a suddenly sobbing brother). The action was traced out using a clutch of popular songs, including Duncan Sheik's "Totally Fucked" and Beyonce's "Crazy in Love," among several other tunes.
Later in the day, during a program called "Our Legacy = Our Songs," the topic of HIV would be revisited. But first came more concert blocks, more fretting over which choruses to hear, the best way to assemble a diverse palette of musical experience.
GALA Guide
Others relied on the concert block schedules or the program descriptions provided in the booklet or using the specialized app and other online resources, especially festival novices. I had an advantage other novices might not have had, though: I had a GALA guide in the person of my friend J.D. Fugate, a 16-year veteran of the Seattle Men's Chorus who has attended four... now five... GALA festivals. J.D. joined me in surveying the options available for the rest of the day.
"You don't want to miss the Columbus Gay Men's Chorus," he told me. "Their music is good, and their choreography is unbelievable. I'd miss tech rehearsal if I had to rather than their show."
Miss tech rehearsal? A blasphemous thought in the extreme. I'm sure that choruses in Ancient Eqypt used to strand such offenders on barges made of straw and then shoot flaming arrows at them. Columbus must be good.
Oh, and they were. Their program, titled "Celebrate, Love Yourself, and Believe," started off with "I'm Coming Out," progressed to "True Colors,:" and and included a few unlikely choices such as "Yankee Doodle Dandy" and "His Eye is On the Sparrow," the latter delivered as a righteous gospel piece, and finished with "Believe." The choreography really was a scene-stealing, crowd-pleasing wonder, though. At one point I found myself leaning forward and muttering to J.D. unbelievingly: "That guy is tap dancing in a foot cast!"

The $66.9 million from the Department of Energy will pay for a sizeable portion of the $130 million project. The rest of the project's cost will be paid by industry partners, matching funds and other funding sources.
The CO2 will be donated by Cimarex Energy Company, which is building a helium and natural gas processing plant near the injection site.
Almost three dozen faculty, staff and students from MSU will be involved in aspects of the project ranging from education to project management to geochemistry, said Lindsey Waggoner, outreach coordinator for the partnership.
Founded in 2003, the partnership is one of seven regional partnerships supported by the Department of Energy. In addition to MSU, three national laboratories, half a dozen regional universities and numerous federal agencies, private companies and industrial partners comprise the partnership.
Phase I of the partnership's work involved studying the geology beneath the Big Sky region to determine its suitability and capacity for carbon sequestration and identifying human sources of carbon dioxide emissions. Phase II involves a small-scale injection of CO2 -- 1,000 metric tons -- into a pilot well near Wallula, Wash. The drilling for that injection is expected to begin in December.

1. Technical Field
The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for protecting surgical endoscopes against damage during transport, handling and disinfection procedures.
2. Discussion of the Prior Art
The distal ends or heads of surgical endoscopes are typically somewhat bendable cylindrical members circumferentially bound by a fluid-impervious polymeric wrapping and containing electronic chips and other delicate components. It is not uncommon for the polymeric wrapping to be punctured or ripped when carelessly handled during storage or removal from storage or while being disinfected between surgical procedures. Specifically, the endoscope assembly is somewhat unwieldy to handle, and the distal end is often dropped onto a floor or other hard surface, sometimes being inadvertently kicked or stepped on. The unwieldiness of the assembly can also result in the distal end impacting against a table, cabinet or other fixture while the assembly is being handled or carried from one location to another. In addition to the potential for rupture and puncture of the polymeric wrapping, the impact of the head against a hard surface can cause damage to the interior components of the head, particularly sensitive optical components and integrated circuit chips of an endoscope camera. Puncture or rupture of the polymeric wrapping, if undetected, results in disinfectant liquid entering the endoscope head and damaging the components.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for preventing damage to the head of a surgical endoscope when the endoscope is not being used in a surgical procedure.
It is another object of the present invention to protect the sensitive distal end of a surgical endoscope against impact and rupture resulting from mishandling of the endoscope assembly during handling, transport and disinfection.
In accordance with the present invention, a shock absorbing sleeve is selectively engageable about the distal end of a surgical endoscope to protect the endoscope head from damage due to inadvertent impact of the head during mishandling of the endoscope. The sleeve is provided with drain openings to permit the endoscope head to be immersed in disinfectant liquids with the sleeve in place. The semi-rigid but resilient sleeve has a resilient and inwardly projecting gripping member of generally oval transverse cross-section at its proximal end with a minor axis dimension smaller than the diameter of the protected distal end of the endoscope. The major axis dimension of the oval gripping member is significantly larger than the endoscope head diameter. Accordingly, by diametrically squeezing and compressing the proximal end of the sleeve along its major cross-section axis, the minor axis dimension of the gripping member is temporarily enlarged to permit the endoscope to be inserted into and removed from the sleeve. When the diametric compressive force on the sleeve is released, the gripping member returns toward its normal configuration wherein the endoscope head is firmly and resiliently gripped at the proximal end of the sleeve between opposing walls along the minor cross-section dimension of the gripping member.
In one embodiment of the invention the protective cover includes an inner sheath disposed concentrically within the outer sleeve, and secured to the sleeve only at the proximal ends of the sleeve and sheath but spaced elsewhere along the sleeve and sheath lengths to provide greater shock absorbency. The protected endoscope head is inserted into the inner sheath and is preferably centered by means of ribs or protrusions extending inwardly from the sheath wall to minimize contact between the sheath and the endoscope head. Shock absorbing ribs may also be disposed between the sheath and sleeve. The sheath is provided with openings along its length to permit free flow of disinfectant liquid between the sheath interior and exterior during disinfection procedures. Both the sheath and the outer sleeve have openings at their proximal and distal ends to permit the disinfectant liquid to freely drain from the assembly.
The above and still further objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent upon consideration of the following detailed description of a specific embodiment thereof, particularly when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein like reference numerals in the various figures are utilized to designate like components.
FIG. 1 is a view in longitudinal section of a first embodiment of the protective cover of the present invention, and illustrates a protected endoscope head in dashed lines.
FIG. 2 is a view in longitudinal section of the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1 with the cover rotated ninety degrees about its longitudinal axis.
FIG. 3 is a view in longitudinal section of an outer sleeve constituting one part of a two-part second embodiment of the protective cover of the present invention.
FIG. 4 is a view in longitudinal section of an inner sheath constituting the second part of the second embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 5 is a view in perspective of the proximal end of the outer sleeve of FIG. 3.
FIG. 6 is a view in longitudinal section of a third embodiment of the protective cover of the present invention.
FIG. 7 is a proximal end view in plan of the embodiment of FIG. 6.
FIG. 8 is a proximal end view of a fourth embodiment of the protective cover of the present invention.
Referring specifically to FIGS. 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawings, the distal end or head 10 of a surgical endoscope is shown in dashed lines inserted into a protective sleeve 11. Endoscope head 10 is conventional and typically contains, inter alia, a CCD camera chip and/or optical elements that can be damaged by severe impact and/or direct exposure to liquid. For this reason, the endoscope head is conventionally wrapped circumferentially with pliable polymeric material permitting the head to be flexed in use while providing some degree of protection against impact and a seal against liquid exposure. However, in practice, it is found that endoscopes are often mishandled to the point where the protective wrapping is punctured or ripped. Moreover, the wrapping provides only minimal protection for the interior components against damage resulting from impact if the endoscope head is dropped or collides with a hard object.
Protective sleeve 11 is an elongated hollow member having a generally oval transverse cross-section that becomes gradually smaller from its proximal open end 13 toward its distal open end 15. Sleeve 11 is made from a plastic sufficiently rigid to resist deformation in response to sharp impact against a hard edge or surface. In this manner, the retained endoscope head 10 is protected from damage due to impact. The sleeve material may also be sufficiently resilient, at least at the proximal end 13 of the sleeve, to permit manually induced deformation when inserting and removing the endoscope head in the manner described below. The axial length of sleeve 11 is sufficient to permit the sensitive length portion of endoscope head 10 to be fully inserted into the sleeve with the distal end of head 10 displaced proximally from the open distal end 15 of the sleeve.
Both the major and minor width dimensions of the oval transverse cross section of sleeve 11 become gradually smaller toward distal sleeve end 15, starting with widths at proximal end 13 that are larger than the diameter of endoscope head 10, and tapering to widths at distal end 15 that may be smaller than the endoscope head diameter. The maximum major width dimension (as seen in FIG. 1) at proximal end 13 is approximately three times the diameter of head 10. The minor width dimension (as seen in FIG. 2) at proximal end 13 is less than twice the scope head diameter.
A resilient elastomeric gripping member 17, made of rubber or similar material, is secured to the proximal end 13 of sleeve 11. Gripping member 17 is a short cylindrical section with an oval transverse cross section and has an outside surface preferably matching the oval outside configuration of sleeve 11 at proximal end 13. In this manner, the outside surface of gripping member 17, when engaged at proximal end 13, forms a uninterrupted longitudinal extension of the sleeve. Engagement between gripping member 17 and sleeve 11 is provided by reducing the outside diameter of an axially short distal section 19 of the gripping member. The reduced diameter distal end of the gripping member is then inserted in a forced fit relation into the proximal end 13 of sleeve 11. The depth of the reduced diameter section preferably matches the thickness of sleeve 11 to assure a continuous profile of the assembled components. Suitable adhesive may be used between the abutting surfaces of sleeve 11 and gripping member 17 to ensure that they do not become disengaged.
The interior surface of gripping member 17 is provided with a series of longitudinally sequential gripping ribs 20 facing inwardly of the member. Gripping ribs 20 may be disposed continuously along the entire interior surface of the gripping member, as shown; alternatively, the gripping ribs may be disposed only along a portion of the two more closely spaced and longer sides of the oval member. In either case, when the gripping member is in its natural or unflexed state, gripping ribs 20 on the longer interior sides (i.e., facing along the minor diameter of the oval) are spaced by a distance sufficiently smaller than the diameter of endoscope head 10 to cause the head to be positively gripped by the facing ribs. Endoscope head 10 can be inserted into or removed from sleeve 11 by compressing the shorter opposed ends of gripping member 17 toward one another along the major diameter of the oval, thereby causing the longer gripping sides to spread apart along the minor dimension and permit passage of head 10 therethrough.
As an alternative to a separate gripping member, the proximal end of sleeve 11 can be provided with an inwardly turned end portion having a resilient oval configuration suitable for serving the gripping function. As a further alternative, a separate clamp or clip can be attached to the outside of sleeve 11 and arranged to be selectively attachable to an exposed part of head 10 extending out from proximal sleeve end 13. Whatever arrangement is used to engage head 10, the head extends into sleeve 11 to a location close to but proximally spaced from distal end 15 of sleeve 11 so that the entire vulnerable length portion of the head is disposed in and protected by the sleeve.
The tapering cross section of sleeve 11 and its open ends 13 and 15 permit free flow of disinfectant solution about the inserted head 10 when the sleeve and the engaged head are disposed in a disinfectant bath. Endoscope head 10 may thus be protected against impact damage during a disinfecting procedure as well as during transportation, storage, and handling while awaiting use in a surgical operating room environment. The taper in the cross section of sleeve 11 is preferably such that the distal end of endoscope head 10, when fully inserted into the sleeve, does not contact the sleeve interior. However, contact with the sleeve about the very tip of head 10 is permissible and within the scope of the invention.
Referring to FIGS. 3, 4 and 5, another embodiment of the endoscope head protective cover takes the form of an outer sleeve 21 and inner sheath 30 secured coaxially therein. Both sleeve 21 and sheath 30 are elongated hollow members having generally oval transverse cross sections. These sections gradually taper in a distal direction. Sleeve 21 is generally similar to sleeve 11 (FIGS. 1 and 2) described above and takes the form of a solid imperforate member having open proximal and distal ends 23 and 25, respectively. The plastic material employed for sleeve 21 is sufficiently rigid to resist deformation in response to impact against a hard surface. If no separate gripping member is utilized with sleeve 21, the sleeve must also be sufficiently resilient, at least at its proximal end, to permit deformation of the proximal end as necessary to insert, remove and grip an endoscope head.
In the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5, an elastomeric gripping member 27 is secured by adhesive, or the like, to proximal end 23 of sleeve 21. Gripping member 27 is a short cylindrical member having a generally oval transverse cross section. The exterior surface of gripping member 27 is preferably contoured, at least at its opposite shorter ends (i.e., along the major oval dimension), to efficiently accommodate a person's thumb and index finger for the purpose of squeezing those ends together. The interior surface of gripping member 27 is substantially smooth except for two inwardly projecting receivers 28 and 29 also located at the opposite shorter ends. Receivers 28 and 29 each take the form of an L-bracket with a first leg projecting laterally inward from the interior surface of gripping member 27, and a second leg extending longitudinally in a proximal direction along the sleeve from the distal end of the first leg. A longitudinal slot is defined through the second leg from the distal end of the leg to a location spaced from the first leg. The interior space between the two legs of each receiver 28, 29 is contoured to have a partially spherical configuration opening in a proximal direction.
Interior sheath 30 is configured to be retained within sleeve 21 in spaced relation to the interior surface of the sleeve. Accordingly, the oval transverse cross section of sheath 30 is smaller than that of sleeve 21 at all corresponding points along the lengths of these elements. In addition, sheath 30 is sufficiently shorter than sleeve 21 to permit its open distal end 35 to terminate within sleeve 21, without contacting the sleeve, when the sheath is fully inserted into the sleeve. Near the proximal open end 33 of sheath 30 there are longitudinally sequential gripping ribs 40 defined along the entire interior surface; alternatively, these gripping ribs need only be formed along the more closely spaced opposite longer sides of the interior surface. Gripping ribs 40 project inwardly, at least along the minor diameter of the oval, to define a distance between the long sides, when unflexed, that is smaller than the diameter of the protected endoscope head.
Sheath 30 is made of a plastic material that need not but may be rigid to resist deformation on impact as required of the outer sleeve 21. Rather, sheath 30 may be made of elastomeric material and must be sufficiently compressible and resilient at its proximal end 33 to permit deformation of the opening between gripping ribs 40. One or more additional gripping ribs 41, 42, 43 project inwardly from respective longitudinal locations along sheath 30 intermediate ends 33 and 35. Ribs 41, 42, 43 are sized to resiliently engage the protected endoscope head when it is forced axially through the rib centers. Note that it is only the rib portions along the long sides of the sheath cross section that engage the endoscope head, and that there is space between the endoscope head and the shorter, more distantly spaced ends of the ribs (i.e., along the major diameter of the sheath cross section). Accordingly, disinfectant liquid is free to flow uninterruptedly in sheath 30 throughout the entire sheath length. Ribs 41, 42, 43 thus cooperate with ribs 40 to hold the endoscope head in place while permitting free fluid flow around the head. To further facilitate flow of disinfectant liquid along the protected endoscope head, multiple holes or apertures 45 are defined through sheath 30 at various locations.
In order to secure sheath 30 within sleeve 21, spherical supports 46, 47 extend radially outwardly from the sheath at a longitudinal location corresponding to the location of ribs 40. Supports 46 and 47 are disposed centrally of the long ends of the sheath cross section in positions corresponding to those of receivers 28 and 29, respectively, on gripping member 27. The spherical supports are disposed at the ends of short radially extending posts configured to be slidable through the slots in receivers 28, 29 to permit the spherical supports 46, 47 to be pushed into the partially spherical space defined in the receivers. The configurations of the spherical supports and partially spherical receivers are such that the supports are engageable in a snap fit relation within the receivers. When thusly supported, sheath 31 is spaced inwardly from sleeve 21 along the entire sheath length. The spacing provides two desirable features. First, disinfectant liquid is free to flow into sheath 30 from the interior of sleeve 21 through holes 45 without being blocked by any flush contact between surfaces of the sheath and sleeve. Second, the spacing between the sheath and sleeve provides an extra measure of shock absorbency for the protected endoscope head. More specifically, in this embodiment the endoscope head is protected not only by the rigidity of sleeve 21, but also by the cushion of air disposed between the sheath and sleeve.
The embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7 includes an outer sleeve 51 and inner sheath 61 constructed as a single unit. In this embodiment sleeve 51 and sheath 61 have oval cross sections but do not necessarily taper toward their distal ends. Specifically, outer sleeve 51 is a rigid plastic member having an open distal end 55. Sheath 61 may be a less rigid plastic member with smaller cross sectional dimensions and having an open distal end 65 and multiple apertures 67 defined through the sheath along its length. Proximal end 53 of sleeve 51 and proximal end 63 of sheath 61 are joined (e.g., by ultrasonic welding, adhesive, or the like) at a resilient termination region 60. Opposed finger grips 57 and 58 are positioned at regions 60 on the outside surface of the arcuately shorter ends of sleeve 51 (i.e., at opposite ends of the major diameter of the oval cross section). Sheath 61 joins finger grips 57, 58 at their proximal ends; sleeve 51 joins the finger grips at a location intermediate the proximal and distal ends of the finger grips.
A pair of resilient head gripping members 62, 64 project radially inward from the longer oval sides (i.e., along the minor diameter of the oval) at the proximal end of sheath 61 in region 60. The mutually facing surfaces of gripping members 62, 64 are configured arcuately with a radius of curvature equal to or slightly smaller than the radius of the endoscope head to be protected. In addition, in the natural or unflexed position of region 60, members 62, 64 are spaced along the oval minor dimension by a distance that is shorter than the endoscope head diameter. Accordingly, to insert the endoscope head into the proximal end of the unit, region 60 is compressed along the major dimension of oval region 60 by squeezing inwardly on the finger grips 57, 58. As a consequence, the spacing between gripping members 62, 64 increases to permit the endoscope head to be inserted longitudinally between these members. When the endoscope head is inserted to the desired depth, the compressive force on finger grips 57, 58 is released, thereby permitting gripping members 62 and 64 to move toward one another and resiliently engage the endoscope head therebetween. The arcuate and resilient gripping members conform to the periphery of the engaged endoscope head, particularly if, as preferred, the radius of curvature of the members 62, 64 is somewhat smaller than the radius of the engaged head.
One or more shock absorbing elastomeric bumpers 68 may be disposed about sheath 61 at various longitudinally spaced locations. Bumpers 68 may be secured to or merely slidable along the sheath and serve to cushion impact between the sheath and the interior wall of sleeve 51. Such impact might occur, for example, if the endoscope head and cover are dropped and sleeve 51 falls onto a hard floor. The momentum of the distal end of sheath 61 tends to respond to this by impacting against the sleeve. However, bumpers 68 cushion that impact to provide further protection for the inserted endoscope head. It will be appreciated that similar bumpers may be provided about sheath 30 (FIG. 4) to serve the same protective function. In addition, bumpers may be provided on the interior surface of sleeve 11 (FIG. 1) to directly cushion the inserted endoscope head against impacting the interior sleeve wall.
The gripping members 62, 64 illustrated in FIG. 7 have a particularly advantageous configuration in that they conform to the engaged endoscope head. However, that particular configuration is not limiting on the scope of the present invention. An alternative gripping member configuration is illustrated in FIG. 8 wherein the gripping region 70, of a device otherwise constructed similar to that of FIG. 6, includes two generally oval gripping rings 82, 84 secured to, and preferably integrally formed with, the shorter sides of sheath 81. Oval gripping rings 82, 84 are smaller than the oval periphery of the gripping region 70 and have their major diameters disposed colinearly with the major diameter of region 70. Gripping rings 82, 84 are resilient and have a sufficiently long major diameter to overlap and define a space 83 between their overlapping portions. The overlap space 83, along the major diameters of rings 82, 84, is shorter than the diameter of the endoscope head that is to be protected. Accordingly, region 70 must be compressed along its major diameter to increase the length of space 83 along that diameter, and to permit insertion and withdrawal of the endoscope head. When the compression forces are removed, the endoscope head is positively engaged within space 83 by gripping rings 82 and 84. The remainder of the unit illustrated in FIG. 8 may be substantially similar to the unit illustrated in FIG. 6.
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for protecting the sensitive and vulnerable head of an endoscope from damage due to impact during handling while permitting free flow of disinfectant liquid about the exterior surface of the protected head.
Having described preferred embodiments of my invention, it is believed that other modifications, variations and changes will be suggested to those skilled in the art in view of the teachings set forth herein. It is therefore to be understood that all such variations, modifications and changes are believed to fall within the scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.

No survivors from plane crash on Indonesia's Sumatra
Oct 1, 2011, 3:17 a.m.
JAKARTA (Reuters) - All 18 people on board a small plane that crashed in Indonesia's mountainous northern Sumatra region were killed, a rescue agency official said on Saturday.
Search and rescue teams have found all of the bodies at the site of Thursday's crash in the Bahorok area. The search had to be called off on Friday because of bad weather.
Sumarbono, of the National Search and Rescue Agency, said the bodies would be taken out by helicopter.
Chief of National Transportation Safety Committee Tatang Kurniadi declined to comment on the reason for the crash of the Casa 212 aircraft, operated by Nusantara Buana Airlines, which was on a flight from Medan city to Kutacane town.
But Kurniadi said pilots had to be careful about bad weather at this time of year.
The sprawling Indonesian archipelago relies heavily on air and sea transport, but poor infrastructure has led to frequent accidents. It was Indonesia's fourth air crash in a month.

BioTelemetry announces judge finds MedTel24 in contempt
Biotelemetry announced that the Honorable Juan R. Sanchez of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania has issued an October 2 Order finding MedTel24 in contempt of a Consent Judgment previously issued by the Court. The previously issued Consent Judgment declared all five asserted BioTelemetry patents valid, enforceable and infringed by MedTel. The Consent Judgment also declared that MedTel is permanently enjoined from further infringement and is required to deliver to BioTelemetry all software, source code, hardware, and documentation relating to the Heartrak ECAT system. In the recent Order, Judge Sanchez specifically found that BioTelemetry, "has established by clear and convincing evidence that MedTel is in contempt of the Consent Judgment." MedTel was ordered to return, within 21 days of the Order, all of the Heartrak ECAT materials it improperly retained in violation of the Consent Judgment. Judge Sanchez has further ordered that MedTel's CEO is required to submit a declaration to the Court that all of the materials have been returned within the 21-day window. To ensure MedTel's compliance, the Order also provided for a substantial fine of $20,000 per day for each day beyond the 21 days that MedTel fails to deliver the materials as directed. The Court will issue a separate Order addressing MedTel's other potential violations of the Consent Judgment and BioTelemetry's requests for lost profits, expenses, attorneys' fees and sanctions.

As much as it pains me every time I hear Checker Finn say it, school boards may indeed be irrelevant.? And Checker's new essay in National Affairs lays out a pretty persuasive case for why they will disappear; not, why they should go away, but why they will simply die on a vine that is no longer part of a healthy education system.? What is most unnerving about Checker's argument, is that this will happen, somewhat counterintuitively, while making ?education local again.?
In short, the new essay, ?Beyond the School District,? is an ambitious rethinking of school governance, top to bottom, that weds the best of our past (true local control) with the best of our present (charters, vouchers, mayoral control, technology) to create a workable school system for the 21st century.
And I hate say it, but from where I sit, on a local school board, it makes sense.
As Checker says, with an understatement that should require no argument, our current system isn't working. ?And his attribution of cause surely matches my experience: we have a ?confused and tangled web? of local, state, and federal rules and regulation, not to mention a web of...
So, it's official:? today the Obama Administration, according to Sam Dillon at the New York Times, ?will offer to waive central provisions of the No Child Left Behind law for states that embrace his educational agenda, essentially ending his predecessor's signature accountability measure, which has defined public school life nationwide for nearly a decade.?
Sounds pretty drastic.? And, indeed, Rep. John Kline of Minnesota, head of the House Education and Workforce Committee, says it
sets a dangerous precedent. Make no mistake ? this is a political move that could have a damaging impact on Congressional efforts to enact lasting reforms to current elementary and secondary education law.
But before leaping for joy about the death of the wicked NCLB witch of the east (or west), or condemning the waiver option, we need remember who NCLB was meant to help; that is, kids.? Of course, the law's reach was farther than its grasp. Of course, its standards were onerous. Of course, teacher unions hated it.? Of? course, state and district education bureaucrats saw it as a nettlesome intrusion.? But there are today tens of thousands of students who have had an opportunity to get educated that they would...
What was so odd about Dennis Walcott's announcement that New York City was opening 50 new middle schools is that the most recent research suggesting that a middle school ?grade configuration (generally, 6?8) is probably not the way to go was done in his city.? In last year's fall issue of Education Next Columbia Business School researchers Jonah Rockoff and Benjamin Lockwood reported their findings from a review of almost ten years of data for Gotham school children who were in grades 3 though 8, in all different school grade configurations, and concluded rather ominously:
In the specific year when students move to a middle school (or to a junior high), their academic achievement, as measured by standardized tests, falls substantially in both math and English relative to that of their counterparts who continue to attend a K?8 elementary school. What's more, their achievement continues to decline throughout middle school. This negative effect persists at least through 8th grade, the highest grade for which we could obtain test scores.
I found other research that supports the Rockoff and Lockwood findings -- that grade configuration matters --? in my report for Education Next earlier this year.? I...
We were about half-way through our four-hour school board ?Governance Team Retreat? when I saw an opening.? ?The facilitator, sent to us by the New York State School Boards Association (for a nice fee), had handed out a 27-page document that covered the standard ?roles and responsibilities? of...
.... but in the nitty gritty world where we lived, as the governance discussion proceeded, the big issues were ?chain of command,? "being part of the team," "being negative," and one of the major themes of that first hour and a half was, as our facilitator reminded us, the board's role as ?overseer, not micromanager.? The board "should not second-guess? the administration's recommendations ?except in extreme circumstances,? we were told. It should ?trust the professionals.?
That was my opening. ?That's exactly what we've been doing for ten years,? I blurted, "trusting the professionals. We were...
As the author of a generally upbeat 2008 report for Education Next on Michael Bloomberg and his takeover of New York City's schools in 2002, I felt a bit sad reading this morning's New York Times poll report showing that New Yorkers are now ?broadly dissatisfied? with their school system and that ?most say the city's school system has stagnated or declined since Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg took control of it nine years ago.? ?Ouch.? I recalled the comment of veteran Gotham educator Sy Fliegel, who once told me, ?I met with the mayor early on and I said to him, ?You want to take over the city's schools? And be held accountable for how they do? Are you crazy?'?
It's a tough town.
According to the Times poll only 34 percent of New Yorkers approve of Bloomberg's performance as the education mayor. ?And Blacks and Hispanics, whose children make up 70 percent of the enrollment in the city's public schools, says the Times, ?expressed the most dissatisfaction, with 64 percent of blacks and 57 percent of Hispanics saying they are generally not satisfied, compared with 50 percent of whites.?
Though reporters Sharon Otterman and...
The New York Times continues to provide a generous medley of education reporting, including, of course, from their controversial "On Education" columnist Michael Winerip.? Alas, Winerip is not among the three recent stories I want to highlight here:
Troubled Schools Mimicking Charters This is an intriguing piece by Sam Dillon, about school reform in Houston, but I stopped short when I got to this line:
In the first experiment of its kind in the country, the Houston public schools are testing whether techniques proven successful in high-performing urban charters can also help raise achievement in regular public schools.
First of its kind?? I ran this by my friend Hal Kwalwasser, who has just finished a book (for which I provided some editing advice), describing improvement strategies in many traditional school districts.?? Writes Hal in an email:
There are lots of districts around the country that are doing the things that Houston is now about to do. Nothing new here?.? The big question is not that Houston is trying them out now, but why hundreds if not thousands of districts have not done the same thing - and not done it many years ago.
Time to...
Last year, Kansas City Superintendent John Covington made headlines when he stabilized the hemorrhaging Kansas City School District (which had lost 75 percent of its students in the past four decades) by shutting half of the district's schools, selling the central office building, and axing close to a quarter of the administrative staff. And he did all of this with the backing of the school board and community leaders. So imagine their surprise (and ire) when Covington, who has been at the helm of KC schools for about two years, abruptly resigned last week?only to take the wheel of Michigan's nascent state-run ?reform school district,? the Education Achievement System (EAS). Finger-pointing and fist-shaking aside, there are a few big takeaways to be drawn from Covington's departure?and his arrival in Motown.
First: KC should have seen this coming?and should have planned for it. The lifespan of an urban supe is akin to that of an American Newt (which, for the non-zoologists out there is about three years). And it's even shorter for those, like Covington, who are brought in as transformational leaders. Dynamic leadership can jumpstart a district's success, but it needs to be buttressed by a...
In the middle of his column today, ?David Brooks drops in this little nugget:
The United States became the wealthiest nation on earth primarily because Americans were the best educated. ?That advantage has entirely eroded over the past 30 years.
Though the ?advantage? he is referring to here is most likely the economic one, there is no doubt that Brooks sees the strong connection between the nation's economic and educational health ? and it should not be too much of a stretch (or putting words in his mouth) to say that the thirty-year erosion applies to our education system as well.? Brooks might also have added that they (our early 20th-century American educator ancestors) created the world's most educated people by educating lots of poor kids.? In Henry Luce's phrase the ?last century was ?the American century? and as Brooks might have said, it's because our educators were predominantly no-nonsense on at least this point: that we get wealthy by educating the poor, we don't get educated by making the poor wealthy.
Brooks's larger point here is positive -- and slightly different than the one Mike makes in his When public education's two Ps disagree (which...

He is house trained and a very well behaved boy. He is also crate-trained. He is currently 11-12 months old and loves people. He is a typical fun-loving lab/weimer mix. He will make a great addition to just about any home. He would do best in a situation that can offer him exercise and guidance.

|PIease Read Before Adopting a Weimaraner in Utah
Weimaraner Dogs can make good pets in Utah if they match your IifestyIe. The Weimaraner is a graceful gray gun dog. Weimaraners are rowdy, happy dogs. Weimaraners need discipline and strong leadership from the very beginning. This is not a breed for an inexperienced owner. Weimaraners are very territorial. A Weimaraner needs to be with people. Weimaraners are excellent with children but should be supervised around little ones because of the energy and size of the dogs. A Weimaraner can live in an apartment if it has plenty of daily exercise.

Heartwarming: Gods and Generals
- The scene where those two Confederate and Union redshirts start commiserating across a river, then walk out to the middle of it and trade a few puffs on a pipe for some coffee. Sure, we're on opposite sides of a war, but what the hell, it's Christmas.
- Made all the more heartwarming by the simple fact that, if the two redshirts were caught doing this, they'd most likely be punished by execution for fraternization with the enemy.
- Combines with Tear Jerker, but the party at the Hancock household in California, before Winfield leaves to join the Union and his best friend Lewis Armistead leaves to join the Confederates. Mira Hancock, her husband, and their friend have a tearful goodbye, with Armistead asking Mira to play the song "Kathleen Mavourneen" (which he and Winfield both remember fondly).

Cybercriminals enlisting APTs are patient and much more technically advanced than the common cyberthief. These more sophisticated and motivated miscreants infiltrate networks and surreptitiously steal critical data bit by bit, day by day, month by month. If a company reacts too hastily after discovering them, the bad guys can quickly modify the coding on which their attacks are based and regain anonymity. Some companies are getting a handle on these elite attackers and their methods. We look to them to help us better equip other security teams to address this plague.

The Heat players have kept a low profile in the lockout. Chris Bosh argued with Skip Bayless. LeBron James has shown up for a few spontaneous appearances at the summer leagues (and got dunked on by a Taiwanese player). Dwyane Wade in particular has gone underground. But as usual, if there's a trend going on in the NBA, the Heat want to get in on it. The Triad will host a mega charity in south Florida next week, according to ESPN. James, Wade, and Bosh will all play, and the roster is unbelievably stacked, way more so than the other exhibitions that have been going on. From ESPN:
A number of NBA players are slated to join the Miami trio on the court, including fellow Heat teammate Mario Chalmers, the Oklahoma City Thunders Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, the New York Knicks Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudemire, the New Orleans Hornets Chris Paul, the Washington Wizards John Wall, the Atlanta Hawks Jamal Crawford, the Houston Rockets Jonny Flynn, the Los Angeles Clippers Eric Bledsoe, the Dallas Mavericks Caron Butler, the Memphis Grizzlies Rudy Gay, the Boston Celtics Rajon Rondo, the Philadelphia 76ers Lou Williams, the Golden State Warriors Dorell Wright, and the Portland Trail Blazers Wesley Matthews and free agent Eddy Curry.via Miami Heats LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh to host The South Florida All-Star Classic - ESPN.
That's nine All-Stars in the game. That's pretty unbelievable. And yet, that part is probably the least interesting. Here are the cliff notes on the eyebrow-raisers from the report:
- The coaches for this event are actor comedian Kevin Hart and Rick Ross. Read that sentence again and let your mind explode.
- The event features multiple members of both Brand Jordan and Nike, pitted against each other. Wall's appearance, though, singals the event was not put together by Nike, despite the obviousness of such a move.
- Oh, they're playing in south Florida, huh? Where did they find an arena? Oh, at FIU. Well, that makes sense, since it's so close and.... "Oh My Gosh, that's Isiah Thomas' music!"
- Eddy Curry continues to slouch closer and closer to joining the Heat. He's playing alongside the Triad in exhibitions. He's hanging out with them. It's only a matter of time. Did we mentione there's a report he's lost 100 lbs.? That's a person!

I have just switched on pretty permalinks, previous posts work ok and I have the new seo friendly names.
Problem is I cannot change setting on plugin configs, etc.
For instance, If I try to remove a side bar widget when I click the submit button if goes to a 404 and no changes to the site happen. If I try to edit the settings in adsense plugin, no changes happen and I get a 404 error.
I tried going back to the old permalink setting and get lots of errors.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help with this.
