(Oct. 26, 2011) -- The UTSA College of Business was ranked the No. 3 M.B.A. program in the nation providing the "Greatest Opportunity for Minority Students" according to the 2012 edition of the Princeton Review's "The Best 294 Business Schools." This is the seventh consecutive year that the College of Business has been ranked in this category.
The UTSA College of Business shared the spotlight with such schools as Emory University, Florida International University, Fordham University, Howard University, Thunderbird and University of Massachusetts.
"We are honored to be recognized by the Princeton Review for the seventh straight year," said Lynda de la Vina, dean of the UTSA College of Business. "This ranking speaks to the quality of our academic programming and the services that we provide minority students. Our M.B.A. program is leading the nation with more than 30 percent of our graduate student body and half of our graduate faculty being minorities."
The Princeton Review conducted surveys with more than 19,000 business students at the best AACSB-accredited M.B.A. programs in the world. Business schools were judged based on institutional data such as percentage of minority students and percentage of minority faculty as well as based on student surveys assessing resources for minority students, culture of institution and diversity of student body.
Most recently the college was named the No. 3 graduate business school in the nation for Hispanics by Hispanic Business and is ranked No. 4 in the Southwest and No. 28 in the nation by Bloomberg BusinessWeek for its part-time M.B.A. program.
The UTSA College of Business offers a flexible M.B.A. program where students can attend part time, full time and during the evening. Eleven M.B.A. concentrations are offered in addition to specialized programs such as the one-year M.B.A. international degree program. The college's M.B.A. program has 240 students -- 30 percent minority, 30 percent female and 21 percent Hispanic.
The UTSA College of Business offers a comprehensive business curriculum at the undergraduate, graduate and doctoral levels. Nationally ranked and recognized, the UTSA College of Business is accredited by AACSB International, The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. It is one of the 40 largest business schools in the nation with 6,000 enrolled students and 47 different graduate and undergraduate business programs.
The Mexican American Studies Program will host a screening of this irreverent, entertaining and often disturbing tale that uses both fiction and documentary story telling devices to tear open a painful and long ignored history: the lynching of Mexican Americans in the southwest.

As touch screens and e-books demand more and more attention from both casual readers and scholars, many people say the handwriting is on the wall for the printed page.
At UTSA, the handwriting is on the wall for a library that doesn't have any printed books.
Since March 2010, the bookless library in the Applied Engineering and Technology Building has given UTSA students an innovative way to read, research and work with each other to solve problems.
With ultra-modern furniture and a décor featuring desktop computers, scanners and LCD screens, the AET Library is designed to engage students in an online format. But it also offers group study niches and study rooms with whiteboards and glass walls on which students can write. The space encourages teamwork, communications and problem solving for the next generation of scientists and professional engineers.
Did you know? The UTSA AET Library is the nation's first completely bookless library on a college or university campus. It served as a model for Bexar County's first-in-the-nation public bookless library system and one of its branches, the Dr. Ricardo Romo BiblioTech.
The University of Texas at San Antonio is dedicated to the advancement of knowledge through research and discovery, teaching and learning, community engagement and public service. As an institution of access and excellence, UTSA embraces multicultural traditions and serves as a center for intellectual and creative resources as well as a catalyst for socioeconomic development and the commercialization of intellectual property - for Texas, the nation and the world.
To be a premier public research university, providing access to educational excellence and preparing citizen leaders for the global environment.
We encourage an environment of dialogue and discovery, where integrity, excellence, inclusiveness, respect, collaboration and innovation are fostered.

It is time to confront Russian President Vladimir Putin's ex-KGB regime over Mr. Putin's audacious actions in Ukraine and the former Soviet republics ("Forsaking friends in Ukraine," Commentary, Dec. 24). Mr. Putin is employing ruthless KGB tactics and neo-Leninist strategies in his struggle to restore the Russian empire and the Soviet Union.
Many Ukrainians still remember Stalin's terror and the genocidal famine which, according to former Ukrainain President Viktor Yushchenko, resulted in 10 million deaths caused by the elimination of private farms and property by the Kremlin, ruthlessly enforced by Bolshevik thugs.
Since November 2013, the anti-government protests and scenes from the Ukrainian capital have been spectacular. Spontaneous resistance to Ukraine's President Viktor Yanukovych's acceptance of Mr. Putin's bribes, promised money and power resulted in Lenin's statue being toppled, thousands of protest signs, blue and yellow flags flying and speeches and meetings followed by police raids on media outlets and opposition parties. By and large, the influence of the European Union and America has prevented the execution of the arrested demonstrators.
The best way for America to help Ukraine, along with Georgia and Moldova, is to take a much tougher stance with Russia. The European Union should freeze Russia's request for visa-free travel for holders of official passports, and the United States and European Union should also put on hold Russia's application to join the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the Paris-based good-governance club. The European Union should intensify its scrutiny of Gazprom's behavior in the European gas market and pursue a pending anti-trust complaint prosecution against the Russian-state-owned giant with increased effort.
Sens. John McCain, Arizona Republican, and Christopher Murphy, Connecticut Democrat, recently returned from Kiev and commented on the crisis situation. A more democratic and free-market Russia can do much more for its people than Mr. Putin's war economy and politics. President Obama and the White House should help the European Union aid Ukraine to avoid Russian captive-nation status.

Jason Collins: "You Can't Put People in a Box"
April 30, 2013 by Maureen McCarty, HRC Deputy Director of Marketing
This morning Jason Collins sat down with George Stephanopoulos on Good Morning America to discuss his coming out process and his hopes for the future.
Though Collins said he never set out to be the first openly gay player, he was ready to raise his hand.
"When you finally get to that point of acceptance there's nothing more beautiful than just allowing yourself to really be happy and to be comfortable in your own skin," he said.
Collins said he chose the jersey number 98 to honor Matthew Shepard, who was killed for being gay in brutal hate crime in 1998.
Since his public announcement, Collins has received an outpouring of support, including a call from President Obama.
While he's focused on his team and his career at the moment, Collins hopes his future will bring marriage and a family.

Windows XP Activation Woes
by chris
enjoyed your articles on how to build a computer. I have a question
- if you use Windows XP for your homebuilt computer and you decide
to upgrade your motherboard and processor, do you have to buy another
copy of Windows XP?"
The Windows XP EULA (End User License Agreement) limits the user to one installation on one system. Under the terms of the agreement, you could install the OS on a different system as long as it is removed from the old one first. Replacing the system board is about the same as building a whole new computer, even if you don't start from scratch.
Hardware detection: If you were to move your hard drive from the old system to the new, or replace the system board and CPU in the same case, it is no different than getting a whole new computer as far as the OS is concerned. When you replace a CPU, you may gain performance or speed, but when you replace the motherboard with a different brand or model, you are probably going to be changing a whole list of things that determine how your computer works. These include the core chipset, the BIOS, and a whole set of integrated devices that would include video, network, IDE, audio, and so on. While Windows will scan the new hardware and reconfigure itself, lots of problems could occur if the new components are similar enough to the old ones that new drivers do not replace existing ones. The best way to avoid these issues is by reinstalling the operating system after the hardware has been upgraded. You may be able to reinstall on top of your old configuration, retaining all the data and prior program installations. But, as a precaution, I would make sure to back-up all of your critical data and be prepared to reinstall all your programs if this fails.
Activation: Windows XP creates a "hash" based on the system configuration of your computer when it runs for the first time. On a new install, you have up to 30 days to activate. If you make changes to the system configuration (for example, changing the video card, adding network adapters and modems) Windows XP compares the new configuration to the old. In the event that changes exceed a certain limit, it will ask you to re-activate immediately. The software activation step is part of Microsoft's anti-piracy solution. In most cases, the changes one would make to a system over its life are relatively minor and do not trigger the re-activation process. Swapping the system board usually means that the chipset, the BIOS, and the list of integrated components used to build that original profile are going to all be different enough and activation would be required again.
If you have an internet connection, Windows will attempt to activate directly. Because the computer will appear to be a different system from the one that it was originally activated on, more than likely, this process will fail. If you do not activate, the OS will not start, and your only option is to shut down. You can manually activate Windows XP over the phone. If dial-up or network activation fails, the Activation Wizard should display a toll-free number you can call to complete the activation process. You will be required to provide a 40-digit number generated by the activation process based on the new hardware. You will have to explain to the person on the other end why you are trying to activate Windows on a "different system". Assuming this is successful, you will be given a 46-digit sequence to key back into the Activation wizard to complete the process.
A final reminder if you have to re-install: A new installation of Windows XP is not going to have all of the previous critical updates and service patches from your old system. With Windows XP, you have the capability of activating the built-in firewall before connecting the first time. While the firewall will not block everything, it should protect against common security issues and virus/worm threats that attack unprotected systems. If you don't do this first, chances are you will never stay connected to the Internet long enough to download all of the necessary security patches and critical updates from the Windows Update site. To activate the Windows XP firewall: open Network connections from the Windows Control Panel; right click on the connection you use for the Internet and select properties; click on the advanced tab and place a check in the box next to "Protect my computer..." Use an anti-virus program as well, and make sure its signature files are current.

Yet another set of quiet days. We headed in the right direction to skip construction traffic. Also, after some looking we managed to find a spot to stop for Southern Food (family here always goes for chains, this time I wanted to actually have some so we stopped BEFORE hand). Mary's Southern Kitchen, I think was the name. Very good, and very happy we stopped, also managed to get a lunch for the next day out of it (thanks to the amount of food).

INDIANAPOLIS -- Transitioning from the Canadian Football League to the NFL is going to create a learning curve.

"Certainly I recognize there's a rivalry in Chicago and that's important. But we have to treat every team we're playing with the utmost respect.

Arizona Diamondbacks are based in Phoenix Arizona. They are affiliated with West Division and National League. The team is playing professional baseball since 1998. In Phoenix the baseball craze existed long before the team was formed, in fact the city is serving as the site for the baseball training since 1946. The efforts that led towards the formation of Arizona Diamondbacks aka Snakes were initiated by Elyse Doherty and Martin Stone. Later Bill Bidwill, Jerry Colangelo and Jerry Reinsdorf used their resources and links to develop the team. Finally, after many years of efforts, Phoenix first national level baseball team was announced in 1995 and awarded a franchise for the 1998 season.
Chase Field is the home ground for Arizona Diamondbacks. The retractable roof of the stadium and its natural grass ground is one of the biggest attractions of the place. The fine shaped round stadium with smooth edges helps the teams play as best as any team could. The retractable roof of the Chase field closes down in 5 minutes and not only blocks the desert heat, but the central cooling system also maintains the temperature. The arena can accommodate over 3 million people easily. And guess what? It has a swimming pool behind the field's fence that you can rent out. A 55 inches wide high definition video and scoreboard was installed in the stadium in 2008.
The importance of Diamondback for the Phoenix folks is evident from the very beginning. The team played its very first game on March 31 1998 against Colorado Rockies at their home ground i.e. Chase Field and all the tickets were sold within hours. This love strengthened Arizona Diamondbacks and they won 3 division titles in their first season and soon qualified for the National League West. The biggest season in the history of Arizona Diamondbacks is that of 2001 in which they defeated the defending champs and baseball giants New York Yankees. Spectators rank that series as one of the most exciting MLB series ever. Phoenix folks gathered in the streets to celebrated Diamondbacks victory, and an estimated 300,000 people participated in that victory parade.
Although the performance of Arizona Diamondbacks has not been outstanding recently but their past record still scares their rivals. The team with brilliant performance in multiple seasons, along with 2 National League West titles, unluckily Diamondbacks dropped to the last place in 2009 season. Despite the last rough season, Arizona Diamondbacks are worshiped by their fans with same enthusiasm. And soon the Diamondbacks are going to bring the cup home again. Some of the all time hot players of Arizona Diamondbacks include Curt Schilling, Randy Johnson Craig Counsell, Orlando Hudson, Louis Gonzalez and Brad Halsey etc.
This time around, Arizona Diamondbacks has the best team squad and extreme potential to rumble the opponents. The commitment of the management and team to regain its status this season is apparent. And now, it is again the time to show the much needed support for your team. The high spirits of the team demands that you watch them play live. Grab Arizona Diamondbacks tickets and get ready to witness them make the history again!

This application is a division of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/725,146, filed Sep. 30, 1996, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,919,235.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to an implant, in particular an intervertebral prosthesis, consisting of an elongated elastic body.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A prosthesis of this type is known from EP-A-0 453 393. It serves as replacement for a damaged intervertebral disc nucleus (nucleus pulposus). With this prosthesis the outer ring (annulus fibrosus) of a natural intervertebral disc remains intact for the most part. The known prosthesis consists of a fluid-tight hollow body which is filled with an incompressible flowable medium. This prosthesis requires for its implantation a specially formed insertion instrument by means of which the hollow body is intraoperatively coiled up into a spiral form and can subsequently be filled. This places high demands on the skill of the surgeon on the one hand, as well as on the manufacture of the insertion instrument with respect to the coiling mechanism, as well as with regard to the filling apparatus. Furthermore, the leak-proofing criteria of the hollow body represent a long-term risk when the great stresses in the region of the vertebral column are taken into account. After the body has been rolled up in the intervertebral region and filled, the free end lies in contact with the annulus fibrosus, if the tool which acts at the center of the spiral for filling and sealing is removable without producing cavities. Only if no migration of spiral elements into other cavities can occur can the radially directed forces arising under the stress be compensated for and the spiral achieve the desired support function.
The object of the invention is to provide an implant which permits a simple handling.
This object is satisfied by an implant in accordance with the present invention which comprises an elongated elastic body which is form-elastic and takes on the form of a spiral in a force-free state. The cross-section of the body is preferably rectangular, and the edges can also be rounded off. It is also possible to use bodies with a roundish cross-section as long as an essentially form-fitted, tilt-proof position of the spiral is retained under load. The cross-section of the elastic body need not be constant over its entire length, but rather it turns out that its thickness can preferably decrease in the outward direction. Such a spiral has the advantage that it winds itself, does not bend when thrust in, and can be severed at a suitable rolled-up length.
The implant as such can take the form of a cylindrical disc, i.e. can be made flat, or else can have inward and/or outward curvatures which follow the contours of the vertebral surfaces. In this way, the forces produced under load can be more uniformly distributed over the vertebral surfaces. The diameter of the spiral is preferably chosen such that the space within the annulus fibrosus is filled out.
In order to insert the intervertebral disc, it has proved advantageous to attach a stiffening means in the form of a plastic or metal band at the free end of the spiral via which a severing device can be guided up to a desired point of severance. The band preferably has no curvature in the force-free state. After a successful implantation the band is severed off from the implanted spiral along with that portion of the spiral not required by means of the severing device.
In order to be able to check the location of the implant intraoperatively and postoperatively, it is recommendable to provide X-ray-positive markings in the form of spheres or of a thread on or along the inside of the elastic body.
The material of which the elastic body is manufactured should correspond essentially to the elastic properties of an intervertebral disc so that the forces arising are as far as possible transmitted uniformly to the vertebral surface. The use of polyurethane or polyurethane-silicon mixtures, which have a Shore hardness of approximately 80A, has proved advantageous. Foams of the most diverse plastics can also be used as long as they satisfy the elastic requirements.
In an especially preferred embodiment the spiral has a central middle part about which the further turns wrap themselves closely. Only small intervening spaces arise, which fill up with intervertebral fluid in the implanted state where present and which do not permit a canting of the elastic body under radial forces. By means of a suitable height to width relationship a canting of the elastic body is prevented in general. The middle piece can basically have the form of a circular cylinder, but forms such as a sphere or ellipsoid have also proved useful. It is advantageous that a short, thin transition part be joined thereto via which the connection to the remaining spiral is established. This has the advantage that the spiral remains in the tightest surface-surface packing and the greatest possible area distribution is achieved while eliminating force peaks. In a simpler embodiment of the implant the central middle piece can also be dispensed with since the contribution of its area is small in comparison with the total area.
The height of the spiral corresponds essentially to the physiological intervertebral spacing. The preferred thickness with which the elastic body is to be executed results from the elastic properties of the material used. At the periphery of the spiral, after about three to five turns, depending on the material and the breadth of the turn, the thickness of the body can decrease since the applied forces should be primarily taken up centrally and since on the other hand the body should be capable of being severed at a corresponding position. In a further embodiment of the invention it is possible to adapt the height of the implant to the individual intervertebral spacings.
The severance should preferably take place inside the cavity, for which purpose the corresponding forces must be supplied by means of an instrument to be described in further detail.
The invention also relates to a process for manufacturing an intervertebral implant in the form of a spiral. For this purpose, the implant can in the simplest case, be cut out e.g. of a material plate of the corresponding thickness. Conventional saws, cutting wires or similar tools can be used as the cutting means. Lasers which are suitable for cutting plastics can, however, also be used. In particular, lasers such as the excimer lasers, which permit athermal cutting, are advantageous here, since they avoid for the most part the production of toxic by-products. An especially preferred process is the injection molding process, with the injection into the snail-shaped mold preferably taking place at the interior of the spiral. The implant thus obtained has a spiral form with tightly form-fitted turns.
The invention relates further to an apparatus for inserting the implant, which essentially has a tube with a rectangular cross-section into which the elastic body can be drawn in, and preferably so far that the middle piece just protrudes from the distal end of the tube. The cross-section of the tube corresponds essentially to the cross-section of the elastic body. The feeding of the body can be done by hand. However, feeding means in the form of a pusher tool which can be activated, e.g. via a lever mechanism, are preferably provided, together with a corresponding cross-sectional enlargement of the tube. The pusher tool has means at its distal end, standing in operative contact with the elastic body or the stiffening, which facilitate the feeding of the body. The means can consist of a roughening of the surface, or else of tooth-like projections with preferential orientation in the distal direction. This achieves a situation in which the extensions grip into the elastic body or the stiffening on advance of the pusher tool and push the latter along with the pusher tool, whereas they slide backwards over the surface on retraction of the pusher tool. A controlled feeding of the elastic body is thereby made possible. It is of additional advantage to provide the tube at its distal end with a one-sided narrowing of its cross-section which at its narrow end is just capable of taking up the elastic body only. This has the effect that the pusher tool, when pushed forwards, is simultaneously pushed downwards, and thus the force transmitting contact between the pusher tool and the body is increased.
The tube of the insertion apparatus can advantageously be curved as well, since the insertion of an implant into the intervertebral space is preferably done from the side dorsally. The curvature can be executed either upwards or downwards, or if desired, to the left or the right, depending on at which side the access is desired to occur. Here the insertion apparatus can also run out at the forward end in a wedge in order to adequately space neighboring vertebral bodies which have lost their separation by means of the wedge-formed part.
The invention relates further to an apparatus for cutting off the end of the spiral which is not required. After the intervertebral prosthesis has been implanted, the insertion apparatus is pulled back along the stiffening, which at least partially remains outside of the intervertebral region, and the cut-off instrument is pushed onto it. This instrument preferably has an action mechanism similar to a pair of pliers, and comprises two grip parts standing in contact with one another via a hinge. One jaw of the cutting part is executed to be hollow so that it can receive the stiffening. The other jaw has a cutting edge standing essentially transversely to the longitudinal axis of the pliers. The length of the jaws as well as the placement of the cutting edge in the distal direction are preferably chosen in such a manner that, on the one hand, a cut in the intervertebral region is possible, and on the other hand, that the required severance forces can be safely exerted. Here the elastic body is enclosed in such a manner that no foreign tissue parts are cut when the end of the spiral not required is cut off. Of course pliers whose grip parts stand at an angle to the longitudinal axis can also be used in accordance with the invention.
In an especially preferred embodiment, the insertion apparatus can also contain a cutting instrument. This can be realized for example by providing a further pusher tool with a cutting blade at its distal end which extends perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the apparatus. The cutting action is produced by the distal narrowing of the tube cross-section, in a manner similar to the feeding situation.
The implant has the advantage of being as simple as possible in its construction and of ensuring a supporting effect uniformly over a greater part of its area. The implant has the further advantage of not having to be fixed in a spiral form by additional means, but can be inserted with comparatively simple and easy to use instruments.
The invention relates further to a process for inserting a spiral implant into a cavity as can be used for the purposes of teaching, practice and demonstration.
In the following the invention will be explained on the basis of an especially preferred exemplary embodiment in connection with the drawings.
FIG. 1 is schematically and greatly enlarged the elastic body in the form of a spiral;
FIG. 2 is a cross-section through the spiral of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a schematic representation of an insertion apparatus;
FIG. 4 is a schematic representation of a severing apparatus, and
FIG. 5 is a schematic plan view of the severing apparatus of FIG. 4.
The Figures deal with an implant, in particular an intervertebral prosthesis preferably of an elongated elastic body, which is form-elastic and takes on the form of a spiral S in the force-free state. The spiral can be drawn by reverse winding up into an insertion instrument, which is only insubstantially larger in the insertion region than the cross-section of the elongated elastic body in order to reach the inner space of an intervertebral disc through a small opening in the annulus fibrosus and to push in and separate off the self-winding spiral when the inner space is filled. This has the advantage that inner spaces of differing sizes can be filled with the same spiral.
FIG. 1 shows the spiral implant with a central middle part 1, which has essentially the form of a cylinder. This is joined at the side by a thin region 2 which permits a pronounced angular deflection and thus a form-fitted transition to the spiral turn 3 connected to it, essentially without intervening spaces.
In the case that the middle piece is absent it is recommendable to execute the inner end of the spiral turn in such a manner that no tension peaks can occur under stress. This can be achieved, for example, by means of a rounded-off end.
The spiral turns connected to the transition region are form-fitted and have a constant breadth in the region of 2 to 5 mm so that canting under the loads to be expected can be excluded to the greatest extent. The implant comprises preferably 2-4 turns which are proof against canting. This is followed by a transition region 4 in which the breadth of the elastic body is reduced to such an extent that an easy separation is possible, e.g. in about the region 5 of FIG. 1. The spiral is adjusted intra-operatively to the desired size through the number of turns. The support effect in respect to tilting is reduced per se in the outer turns, however it is sufficiently great in connection with the more form-stable inner turns.
The thickness of the elastic body which forms the spiral can however also decrease steadily from the inside outwards, so that no specially executed transition region is required. In FIG. 2 the spiral is shown in cross-section. It has a diameter in the range of 20 to 30 mm, preferably in the range from 23 to 25.5 mm. The height preferably amounts to 5-10 mm. The height can also increase continually in the direction of the center and take on a maximum of 10 mm at the center. The height can also be adapted to the individual curvature of the vertebral surfaces, which can be of especially interest in the case of vertebral deformations.
A band-like stiffening 7 is fixed to the free end of the spiral 6 and projects beyond the free end so as to serve as an extension when handling the spiral. The transition should be as smooth as possible. The band should be capable of transmitting its shear forces and is preferably made of titanium for reasons of biocompatibility and sterilisation It is practical for its length to extend to approximately 20 cm, and it enables a guidance of the separation instrument up to the point of severance on the spiral.
The elastic body consists preferably of a plastic such as polyurethane with the spiral turns coming to lie form-fitted to the greatest extent in the absence of external forces. The elastic properties of the material must be such that the spiral form is again assumed even after it has been unrolled. The deformation properties of the material should be as similar to those of the intervertebral disc as possible and lie advantageously in the range of Shore hardness from about 70A to 90A, preferably around 80A.
The elastic body can be manufactured by being cut out of the material, which is possible in particular with the use of computer-guided lasers. Cutting processes which do not stress the material thermally are preferable, since this avoids toxic by-products and has no influence on the elastic properties of the material. It needs no special mention that the material itself should be sterilization.
In order to check on the position of the implant intra-operatively and post-operatively it is recommended to provide X-ray-positive markers in the form of points 8 or of a thread, which is not shown, on or along and within the elastic body. Barium, tantalum or the like can be used as the marker material.
The apparatus for inserting the elastic body is shown in more detail in FIG. 3. It comprises a rectangular tube 10 for receiving the spiral which is rolled up at least so far that its still protruding portion S can be inserted through the operatively created opening into the intervertebral region without problem. The hollow tube 10 preferably has a one-sided cross-section narrowing 11 at the distal end which is formed in the shape of a cone or a beak. The tube can also have a curvature, which eases the access to the intervertebral region from the side dorsally and is selected to match the hand preference of the user. The curvature can also be directed caudally or cranially depending on the requirements.
The feeding of the body can also be done by hand. Gripping means to support the tube are helpful for this purpose. They can be formed coaxial with the tube in the form of a thickened portion or can extend radially to the tube axis. Preferably, however, feed means are,provided in the form of an elastic pusher tool 12, which can for example be operated via a lever mechanism 13. At its distal end, and standing in effective connection with the elastic body or with the stiffening, the pusher tool has means 14 which facilitate the feeding of the body. The means can consist of a roughening of the surface or alternatively in tooth-like extensions with preferential orientation in the distal direction. By this means it can be achieved that when the pusher tool is pushed forward, the extensions engage the elastic body or the stiffening and push it along, whereas they glide over the surface when the pusher tool is retracted, making possible a controlled feeding of the elastic body. The one-sided cross-sectional narrowing 11 of the rectangular tube 10 causes the pusher tool to be pressed downwards at the same time as it is being pushed forwards, and thus strengthens the grip between the pusher tool and the body. Due to the fact that the pusher tool grips the unrolled spiral very far forward, the latter is practically drawn through the hollow tube, so that it does not block itself due to its own stress, as could easily be the case when the thrust is from the rear.
FIGS. 4 and 5 show an apparatus for severing off the superfluous end of the spiral. After the intervertebral prosthesis has been implanted the insertion apparatus is drawn back along the stiffening 7, which remains outside the intervertebral region, and the separation instrument 20 pushed onto it. This instrument preferably has an action mechanism similar to a pair of pliers, comprising two grip parts 21, 22 which are connected to one another via a hinge 23. One jaw 24 is provided with a recess 25 in the longitudinal direction into which the stiffening 7 and/or the elastic body 5, 6 can be taken up. The other jaw 26 has a cutting edge 27 which is movable essentially transversely to the recess 25. The length of the jaws as well as the placement of the cutting edge in the distal direction is preferably chosen in such a manner that, on the one hand, a cut within the intervertebral region is possible and, on the other hand, that the required separation forces can be applied safely. The cutting blade itself can be executed as a replaceable blade. Of course pliers whose grip parts meet the longitudinal axis at an angle can also be used in accordance with the invention.
After the elastic body is shortened to the desired length the severing apparatus is drawn back along with the stiffening 7. The implant takes on the spiral form due to its form-stable properties. The implant retains its spiral form even under load without a special fastening of the free end being necessary.
The previously described process for inserting a spiral implant into a cavity can also be advantageously used for purposes of teaching, practice or demonstration.

'Collision' exhibition by Egyptian Moataz Nasr
Artist's work provides a narrative about life in Egypt Discuss this article
- Picture 1 of 2
This isn't the first time that softly spoken Egyptian artist Moataz Nasr has exhibited his work in Dubai. Yet having previously displayed only one or two pieces, his first solo show in the city, 'Collision', is an opportunity for art-goers to view his most comprehensive body of work.
'With this exhibition I'm trying to introduce myself to people,' he reveals. 'I tried to make a story to explain my way of thinking. I'm leading the people, so they can see the different aspects of how I think and how I see art and how I deal with it.'
Spanning the past three years, the work incorporates video, installation and painting, and features traditional element of Egyptian culture. 'Sometimes I search for my roots and reshow them in a more contemporary way,' explains Nasr. 'I wanted to upgrade them and take them from where they are.'
Transition is something the 50-year-old artist is certainly at ease with. Having in the past been invited to work on public site-specific artworks in various locations across Europe, he's currently on residency in South Africa to create an outdoor piece for one of the country's animal parks. 'I believe that when art is shown in a gallery, it's only talking to a certain level of people. When you take it outside into the public space, you're talking to everyone. That's how it should be, because otherwise the meaning slips away,' says Nasr.
After spending plenty of time in South Africa for the project, it seems Nasr has also managed to find meaning in his current environment. 'It's amazingly beautiful here, because it's so peaceful and I'm away from all this unrest that's happening in the Middle East, although I'm still connected through the internet so I feel what's going on there. It gives me a lot of ideas and I'm learning a lot. I can see now what happened here [in South Africa] – they had a big change 20 years ago, and I can see how things are going after 20 years. It tells us not to be in a rush and to wait, because things really take time.'
Though his English is unwavering, the artist says there's only one way he feels comfortable getting his views across. 'Art is a way of expressing myself and talking to the world, to the people. I'm not a very good writer, I'm not a very good speaker, but the language I believe I'm good at is arts.' Here, he guides us through his own 'language' to explain some of his key pieces.
The Lowdown
Exhibition: 'Collision' until January 10 at Lawrie Shabibi, Unit 21, Alserkal Avenue, Al Quoz (04 346 9906).
Artist: Moataz Nasr.
Price: From Dhs55,100.
Elshaab 'The people'
'These are similar to the statues they sell to tourists in Egypt. It's just for the memory, a souvenir. I saw what was happening to the people during the revolution, everything that happened and all the people that died. Everyone I remember from these 18 days, they ended up just being like an object. It's a pity, actually.'
'This started with the concept of matchsticks. They represent one person, each match. Like matchsticks, we are fragile but we hold the power of fire inside of us. When we're together we are stronger, and we're creating this energy and this power.'

In what's being hailed as a foreign-policy triumph of the Obama administration (which needs every morsel of good news it can get), the Syrian government gave up all its "declared" chemical weapons stockpile.
Or have they completely disarmed themselves of the world's most dangerous weapons? Ahmet Uzumcu, chief of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) said, "All declared chemical weapons have left Syria, [but] clearly we cannot say as the secretariat of the OPCW that Syria doesn't possess any chemical weapons anymore." Just to be clear, then, the mass-murdering, tyrannical Syrian government that has no accountability to its people has said something is so, yet the head of an international body isn't exactly willing to bet the farm that it is so.
Now what's odd about this? Why wouldn't OPCW fully trust the word of a dictatorship that it would willingly disarm itself of its most potent weapons? If you recall, in the past decade a similar scenario played out just across the southern border in Iraq. Saddam Hussein said he didn't have weapons of mass destruction, yet the most evil and guiltiest man in the world was doubted by the world community. Eventually, a war broke out over it. According to the revised official party line of the Democratic Party, we should have believed Saddam Hussein because it was President George W. Bush who "lied."
Yet, after this hard lesson of history that cost countless lives and trillions of dollars, the OPCW just can't go along with the Democratic Party precedent that it is OK to believe the word of a tyrannical dictatorship. The real question here is that given the character of these deceitful dictatorships and how they stick together, would anyone really be so shocked if it were one day discovered that Syria still had "undeclared" weapons of mass destruction stashed away in 55-gallon drums that read "Made in Iraq"?
My rule for dealing with dictatorships is this: They're guilty, no matter what. Even if they're perceived to be innocent like Saddam, that's only temporary because they will eventually be found guilty. Some folks may say that's not fair or the way of the American justice system, but in cases like these, to not have such a mindset only sets one up to be burned. At least the OPCW is showing signs that it "gets it." Now we just have to worry about the Democratic Party, which will be itching to smear the next GOP president for taking decisive action in not believing a mass-murdering tyrant.

Welsh-Designed Space Suit Injects Local Culture Into Every Item [Video]
The Space Campaign finds a cosmic context for the culture, skills and traditions of the small country.
Designer Hefin Jones created 'The Welsh Space Campaign,' a project that features a spacesuit made with help from locals. It "launches ordinary Welsh people into outer space, by finding a cosmic context for Welsh culture, skills, and traditions."
A plumber built a pressure system for the spacesuit, a traditional clog maker made the boots, and the last remaining wool mills in Wales provided material for the suit. Jones writes:
I aim to reveal that Wales has the capacity to explore space, and to show that off-world culturalisation can be achieved through a collective communitarian effort; as a way to allow the people involved to reconsider their role and skill in relation to these cosmic contexts.

In his Reddit AMA, the scientist forecasts potential doom and admits he missed Wayne's World 2.
Because of the bluesy barrelhouse piano. And the propulsive pop melodies. And the jittery bits of guitar. But mostly for the breathless plea for salivation. The week's best song, hands down. And already on the shortlist as a Song of the Summer.
Because it's the vocal performance of the week, if not the year.

This recipe needs 10 stars as it's absolutely delicious. I didn't change anything and LOVED it.
Nothing left after the party, a huge HIT!
This recipe was great! It was easy to make & I didn't change it a bit. I took it to our family's Christmas gathering this year & they ate it up. Even the kids who don't like Broccoli loved it!! I made it a day ahead just like the recipe said. When first opened the smell can be over-powering (not sure if it's the broccoli or the onions, or both) but once you get past that you have a truly delicious salad!!
I find this an excellant salad and very easy to make. Always a hit a parties and get togethers.
very easy to make and it taste good
This is a great salad there is never any left when I serve it.
Excellent recipe. It's a great potluck dish and the bowl is emptied every time. I have substitued cheddar cheese for the mozzarella on occasion and that tastes great too. I use red wine vinegar instead of white vinegar and I also add 1/2 cup of roasted/salted sunflower seeds which is a good complement to the sweet dressing. If I am serving a vegetarian crowd, I leave out the bacon and it's still delicious.
I steamed the broccoli for 5 minutes just to make it al dente and to "kill" anything that washing may have missed. This recipe made the broccoli taste mild and agreeable. Next time I will add mustard and sharp cheddar to zip it up a bit.
Made this last night for friends and family. I made it just as the recipe states and it was very good. I used low-fat mayonnaise. A really nice salad. Thanks.
Very Good!!! I followed the recipes to a "T" and It truned out great I took to work lunchon and everybody said it was great I did not have any left over to take home. Thanks for such a good light salad.
