Home > What We Do > Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology > Interventional radiology > Intervention for peripheralvascular disease
Peripheralvascular disease refers to potentially dangerous blockages in the blood vessels outside the heart and brain. It is similar to coronary artery disease, only instead of blocking blood flow to the heart, it blocks blood flow to vital organs such as the kidneys or stomach, or to an arm or a leg. An interventional radiologist can sometimes use a method called catheterization to treat peripheral vascular disease. During catheterization a long, thin, flexible tube is directed toward the blockage to deliver treatment.
You will wear a hospital gown during the procedure. At the start of the procedure, you will be positioned on the examining table and images will be taken to map exactly where the catheter will be directed. After the first set of images, you will be connected to monitors to track your heart rate, blood pressure, and pulse during the procedure. A nurse or technologist will insert an IV line into your arm or hand for medications and fluids. You will be under general anesthesia during the procedure.
Your skin will be cleansed with a special soap, and possibly shaved, at the site where the catheter will be inserted, and a local anesthetic will be used to numb the site. A small cut is made in the skin at the groin, and the catheter is inserted.
The first set of images is used as a roadmap to direct the catheter. When the catheter is in place, a special dye is injected, and another set of images is taken to ensure that the catheter is in the proper location. When the location is confirmed, the necessary treatment is administered to the diseased are of the blood vessel or artery.
Once the treatment has taken place, the catheter is removed and pressure is applied to the incision site to stop any bleeding. A dressing will be applied to the site, but no stitches will be needed.
After an invasive procedure, a follow-up program may be recommended to assist in your recovery and help you get back on the right path for long-term cardiovascular health.

"gerbil-stuffing" is unknown as an actual sexual practice, nor has a verified medical case of a gerbil (or other rodent) having been extracted from a patient's rectum ever been reported. (Despite the assiduousness with which doctors record unusual items removed from patients' rectums in order to write them up as illustrative cases , a medical journal article involving a gerbil removal has yet to surface.) The notion of gerbilling (not necessarily restricted to homosexuals
Like similar legends such as The Promiscuous Rock Star, this tale has been applied to various public figures who are known or believed to be homosexual, and it has stuck with one in particular: Richard Gere. Although the legend homed in on various targets when it first appeared (including a Philadelphia newscaster), it has clung tenaciously to
Versions of the following gerbilling fiction date back at least to 1993 when a faked United Press International item appeared on the Internet, one that named Vito Bustone and Kiki Rodriguez of Lake City, Florida, as the accident victims. (The gerbil's name was withheld by request of the family.) Other versions have been falsely attributed to the Los Angeles Times with the events said to have taken place in Salt Lake City, Utah. Rest assured that neither news outlet ever published a news article about these fictitious events:

I saw the estimable @Dasan Tweet this link out on his stream this morning. As always with LED, the usual suspects are CREE RBCN VECO, among others.
Alan E. Salzman is the chief executive officer and managing partner at VantagePoint Capital Partners.
On LED lighting
By 2020, you're not going to be able to buy a light source other than an LED. You're on a learning curve of cost reduction, quality improvement and efficacy improvement. Today, 2013, is the first year you're going to be able to buy an exact clone of a regular 60-watt incandescent bulb at a reasonable price point—meaning a one-year payback to consumers. This year it's a $10 product. We're looking at it being a $5 product within 24 months, $2.50 within 48 months. So, by the time you get to 2020, it would be the equivalent cost to today's regular light bulb, last 25 years and use 85% less energy.
But probably the more interesting thing is, after you digitize the light socket and you switch to LEDs, there's a second and third wave coming. Changing the color temperature. Changing the ambience of the room. Being able to integrate other functionality—it's your Wi-Fi hot spot, it's your alarm system because it detects presence coming into the room. You've got a raft of functionality that just has to be integrated into the bulb itself.
5 Responses to "A Bright Future for LED"
Thanks, Chess, great insight in this article. I have seen LED bulbs in the hardware stores but didn't want to pay the extra dollars. The second and third waves sound very promising.
Have to see if there are some good long ideas here (in additions to the ones you listed).
$CRUS might be another beneficiary of this light crusade. The stock has been hammered… it has good numbers, a short squeeze candidate I would think.
I despise LED lighting, along with CFL. The light produced is too harsh, even with the new 'warm' 2700K bulbs. They actually contribute to sleep disorders because they give off too much blue light, which confuses the brain as to what time of day it is. I'm saving energy through using Eco incandescent bulbs (38% savings) but the writing is on the wall and they won't be around forever. LED still has a long ways to go in my opinion.
Po Pimp
This is bullshit.

Dusty!: Queen of the Postmods By Annie J. Randall (Oxford University Press, 219 pp., $24.95) We do our best to keep up, those of us tottering into the back of The New Republic's book once a fortnight. So I have my work and my life as well as those of my wife and children. I have revenues to raise and taxes to pay. On Super Bowl Sunday, I cared just about enough to watch the game, though I was more certain to watch Chelsea versus Liverpool, live, in the West Coast morning. I hope to read a couple of books a month. I worry, but I like to have time for doing nothing.


text: Boy - Every Page You Turn His promising debut suggested that Canada had produced another flamboyant pop artist like Rufus or Hawksley. But the followup album by Whitehorse native Boy (aka Stephen Kozmeniuk) is much closer to the rock charms of Sloan or Sam Roberts—not a bad thing either. The frenzied garage rocker "Up in This Town" and the surging "Same Old Song" reflect his early '70s influences. And on "The New Number Two" instrumental and the dreamy "A Line to Stand Behind," Boy's melodic gifts shine on like crazy diamonds. Prev Next

Murder mystery at Sandringham: Woman's body found dead yards from royals' Boxing Day shoot 'could have been there for four months'
- Discovery close to Royal Stud where Queen oversees racehorse breeding
- Police are looking at missing persons reports and cold cases files
- DNA profile expected within the next 24 hours
A murder investigation was under way yesterday after the body of a young woman was found on the Queen's estate at Sandringham.
The remains were discovered in a copse close to where senior members of the Royal Family had gathered to enjoy their Boxing Day shoot.
A dog walker stumbled across the body at 4pm on New Year's Day.
Scroll down for video
Sandringham house where the Queen resides, and circled, wherwe the woman's body was found
Detectives said it had been lying on the Norfolk estate for up to four months.
They confirmed the woman was 'probably the victim of a murder' but would not reveal how she might have been killed or if she was clothed.
Officers are sifting through missing person reports in the north Norfolk area. If this does not produce a match they will examine cold cases nationwide.
The Queen spent the festive period at Sandringham and is still in residence. She is thought to have been briefed by police about the investigation.
Grim discovery: Police guard the entrance to woods where a body was found on the Sandringham estate
Police say the circumstances suggest that the woman was murdered and are now looking at cold case files across the country
The 30ft-wide copse where the body was
found sits between two fields and is 200 yards along a farm track.
It is one mile from the entrance to Sandringham House and half a mile from the Sandringham Stud where the Queen breeds racehorses.
The Royal Family are thought to have been shooting in a field of sugar beet next to the copse last week.
Prince Philip, 90, normally leads shooting parties on the estate and has previously been seen with his gun in the field next to the wooded area.
However, he missed the Boxing Day
shoot because he spent four days in Papworth Hospital, Cambridgeshire,
where he had a stent inserted in an artery after suffering chest pains.
He has been recovering at Sandringham since last Tuesday.
A villager said: 'Prince Philip loves shooting in the field because it is a brilliant spot to bag birds.
'The beaters walk through the woods to
scare the birds so they fly towards the guns. The copse is quite wide
so often a lot of pheasants gather there so it means there is no
shortage of birds flying out.
'It is incredible to think that the Royals
were just yards away from where this poor woman lay dead.'
The remains were found by a dog-walker in woods at the village of Anmer
The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh were in residence at Sandringham when the body was discovered
Macabre discovery: Alisa's remains were found on the Queen's estate at Sandringham less than a mile from where the Royal family gathered for Christmas (bottom left)
Sandringham is the private country estate of Her Majesty the Queen.
It is the property of the British royal family and not part of the Crown Estate.
In 1862, Sandringham hall was purchased by Queen Victoria at the request of the Prince of Wales (the future Edward VII).
But the Prince decide it was too small and had it knocked down and the current house built on the site.
King George VI was born at York Cottage on the estate and died in 1952 at the house.
Since then Queen Elizabeth spends the anniversary of her father's death and her own Accession privately with her family at the house.
It is her official base until February each year and she is joined by the rest of the Royal family over Christmas.
The house was first opened to the public in 1977, and there is a museum with displays of Royal life and Estate history.
A shoot took place on the estate yesterday. It is not known if Prince Philip took part.
The track leading to the copse remained cordoned off as officers searched for clues.
Last night Norfolk Police said the young victim had been lying on the Sandringham estate for between one and four months.
A spokesman said: 'The pathologist believes it is highly unlikely the death was through natural causes.
'There is no evidence of accidental injury, damage due to firearms or bladed weapon.' Earlier, Detective Chief Inspector Jes Fry had described the case as 'challenging'.
He said: 'The body has been in situ for some time. The body is female and the circumstances indicate that she is probably the victim of a murder.
'We will be continuing our inquiries
over the next few days and weeks to establish who she is and how she
came to be here.
'Members of the public were walking around, but unless someone went into that wooded area, they would not have found her.'
Mr Fry added: 'It is early days, but
on the face of things, it could be a challenging investigation.
We will be looking at missing persons across the UK as well as locally.
'We will also be using fingerprints and DNA to help identify the victim.' Mr Fry said that one of the missing persons cases being looked at would be that of Latvian-born teenager Alisa Dmitrijeva, who disappeared shortly after midnight in King's Lynn on August 31.
The 17-year-old from Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, was reported missing by a relative in September.
A £5,000 reward has been offered for information that helps officers find her.
The Queen marked the start of her Diamond Jubilee year with a ride in the grounds of Sandringham House yesterday morning

Every few weeks I've been posting about new pre-releases for VS/TFS 2012 Update 4. Yesterday we released another one – RC 3.
Important links:
Among other things, the KB article contains a list of fixes in Update 4. At this point we are starting to get towards the end of the Update 4 cycle and I'd encourage you to install this build and try it out if you intend to test Update 4 before it ships. I think there might be one more RC build before we are done but there won't really be time to take much feedback from that final RC and react to it.

My Story
In My Solo Career
I am passionate about my music, it comes from my soul and I believe it is my true vocation. from the age of 8 I have been playing bagpipes and at the age of 18 I was experimenting with different ways and sounds of the bagpipes, then at 21 I broke away from the "traditional bagpiper" ways.
From my early piping days I played in the traditional pipe bands such as the, "Inverkeithing High School Pipe Band", "Tbandhe City of Edinburgh Pipe Band" and "The Royal Burgh of Inverkeithing Pipe Band", "Torrevieja Pipes And Drums" (which is based in Spain).. But Then having fire in my belly I needed to see what was out there and then The Phantom Piper was born. I have played with big bands such as the famous "Saor Patrol" and sharing stages and Festival/Venues with The Dropkick murphy's, The Wicked Tinkers, Seven Nations, Sweet, Corvus Corax, Alice Cooper, Weird Al Yankovic, The Irish Rovers, Tom Jones, The Saw Doctors, Saggy, Frank Sinatra Jr,. Diana Ross, The Kinks, The Outlaws, The Monkeys, The Drifters, The Dixie, America, Chicago, Europe, Starship, Albannach, Screaming Orphans, so far.
Thanks to my bagpipes and fans, i have been able to travel all over the UK, Europe, USA, Canada and Australia.
Also being featured in the newspapers, television, radio, playing in front of audiences as large as 60,000 people.
Celtica Career
I am currently playing with the big band "Celtica -Pipes Rock" and have been since spring 2013.With an explosive show not to be missed and with our unique sound of blazing bagpipes, mighty drums and the power of a rock band, Celtica takes by storm all audiences from bankers to punk rockers across the globe. In addition to their high energy music and flamethrowers on their instruments, guarantees a very exciting show for everyone. An event that's sure to please all the senses! Right away CELTICA got booked as headliner of the biggest Celtic/Scottish/Rock events in Europe, Canada and the USA.
Playing at Wacken (the largest metal music festival in Europe) has been a recent highlight for us,, Also featuring in the biggest meta magazine "metal hammer" and Diario de un Metal head website!!
I luckily have achieved two number 1# on the rock charts and have gained a video reward for best music video online.My Dark Island video on Youtube is sitting at over half a Million views!
I have just made an additional/remake of the Dark Island, as it went down so well first time round... it went CRAZY!!! I jut couldn't believe it... with 74,264 vies and 2,663 shares in just over a week. That is all thanks to my fantastic fans!
Celtica have also had a few #1 in th charts. We were happy to received the MacDudel Music Award as our Cape Horn track has been in the charts for a number of weeks!!
My Thanks
My thanks goes to (in no pacific order) to my family, for the endless support and encouragement. David Wardle, for the fantastic photos, help and support. And my fans and followers, without you all, I couldn't continue on my Journey and with my bag piping work thank you all from the bottom of my heart. My first album 'Shores o' the Forth' I proudly dedicated to my dad who was sadly dying on cancer; and to all my family who have been a constant source of encouragement with never failing confidence in my ability. I produced my second album 'Bend It Like Jane' with the help of Shantyshack Recording Studios.
That album was really well received in Australia where i felt honoured to perform at the Highland Gathering as part of the Adelaide Music Festival and filled with radio interviews

Chakotay and Janeway romance

Location: In the lap of squalor I assure you.
Re: Chakotay and Janeway romance
EMH: They'd taken over the Prometheus, the ship I was on, but I managed to turn the tables on them with help from a fellow EMH.
CHAKOTAY: You got through to Starfleet?
EMH: I spoke directly with headquarters. Apparently, Voyager was declared officially lost fourteen months ago. I set the record straight. I told them everything that's happened to this crew. They said they would contact your families to tell them the news and promised that they won't stop until they've found a way to get Voyager back home. And they asked me to relay a message. They wanted you to know you're no longer alone.
JANEWAY: Sixty thousand light years seems a little closer today.
CHAKOTAY: No thanks. You haven't mentioned your letter. Who was it from?
JANEWAY: It was from Mark, the man I was engaged to. He told me about the litter of puppies my dog had, how he found homes for them, how devastated he was when Voyager was lost, how he held out hopes we were alive longer than most people did until he realised that he was clinging to a fantasy. So he began living his life again. Meeting people, letting go of the past. About four months ago he married a woman who works with him. He's very happy.
CHAKOTAY: How do you feel about that?
JANEWAY: Well, I knew he'd eventually move on with his life, but there was such a finality to that letter.
KIM [OC]: Kim to the captain. Can you come to the bridge?
I guess wedding planning in the future where money doesn't exist, things are different. But if you're going to do a wedding right in the present, it takes a minimum of 2 years because everywhere you would actually want to have your ceremony and reception probably happens to have been booked for the last two years, ditto two years plus for all the bells and whistles.
Maybe Mark and his missus are dead inside and merely went to the registry, knocking the whole thing out in an afternoon?
2 years to plan and execute a wedding?
What a tosser.
Although with a (free) global transporter in effect, you'd have to be off world or in hospital to be actually have a decent excuse to avoid a wedding you thought it best to shy away from.
So my calculation was this...
Grieving + meeting a woman + Courtship + stability + proposal + engagement/planning an extravagant wedding + wedding + X amount of time since they were married (4 months according tot he quote) until Janeway comes back into the picture making demands.
4 months before Hunters is during the Dominion Occupation of Bajor, that sort of impending doom is going to cut though a lot of civil red tape. The Federation LOST Deep Space Nine. "Ghadzooks!" Mark must have thought as he decided that it was time to go find himself a woman. "If I'm going to die today, I'm going to be doing it while I die!"
"Glitter is the herpes of arts and craft."

I actually purchased this baby at my local CVS pharmacy. I walked right by it before I realized it was a knock off of the Japanese towel. I paid $3.99 for it and used it when I got home. It was amazing! I will use this for every shower/bath. I did use it very gently on my face after I used the OCM to remove all my makeup. My face and body was so soft. I am hoping it will help mine and my son's KP skin condition with repeated use. Would repurchase and check out your local pharmacies if you can't get on online.

I have had lifelong dry skin. I really pamper my face but I'm guilty of letting my back go "out of sight out of mind". My legs in the winter are bad too.
This blows any loofah out of the water. It is very course.
My only knock (and it's an uber picky one) is I hate the baby colors. I would prefer either neutrals or fun bright colors.

Omg! I take baths daily and the amount of dead skin I scrubbed off the first time I used this was incredible. It was as if I hadn't bathed in weeks. Even after daily use, my bathtub is dirty after each use with this cloth. I love it! I even managed to get a layer of dry cracked skin off my elbows that I've had since childhood! I also love the size. It makes it so easy to reach my back. Highly recommend!

I just couldn't help but buy one of these after reading all of the wonderful reviews. I ordered mine off of Amazon and it seems legit, even though some people seem to have trouble with fakes. I may order them straight from the website in the future since the price difference is pretty negligible. And I will be ordering more if I need to-I love this towel! When I first tried this towel after opening it up, I wasn't so sure about it. It was pretty scratchy, and I wasn't sure my skin could take it. But after a few uses, I now look forward to its super exfoliating power! I use it with St. Ives Shea Butter body wash and moisturize after with coconut oil, and my skin has never been more touchably smooth. I have always had problems with keratosis pilaris on my arms, and while they have not cleared up, they have gotten smaller and less noticeable. I have only been using this for a few weeks, so I'm hoping they continue to improve! For the price and results, this is one beauty product that is definitely worth it!

I just discovered these on MUA a few weeks ago and ordered two from the Salux dealer in Calif. Two for $10 including shipping. Made in Japan. I wouldn't call them a bath towel, nor a washcloth. They are 35 inches long and 11 inches wide. They do a bang-up job of scrubbing my back and butt, and are making the rough bumpy areas on my arms, elbows, legs and feet feel much smoother. I've been using a lot of lather but will use less to increase the friction as my skin gets used to it. I'm going to order more as gifts. I usually roll mine up in my damp bath towel to dry then hang it beside my towel, ready for my next shower. I can see that mildew wont be an issue with these because they really dry fast. Thanks everyone for your positive reviews, I love Makeup Alley!

I bought this after reading the exemplary reviews on a beauty blog and on MUA. I use it on my legs which are always dry and my upper arms and back which are acne prone. On my legs it does leave my skin softer but my dry brush was doing that as well. But to me the best thing was that the parts of my body that tend to attract ingrained dirt seemed much cleaner but it's still hard to reach spots like the middle of your back. I also like that it dries fast. I am counting on it not disintegrating after a few uses like most poufs do. It seems sturdy enough.
Edit: I've been using it for 6 months now and it's still in perfect condition despite some fairly vigorous scrubbing. My back acne is much better as well.

This really is a great bath towel if you're into exfoliating. I use it twice a week (never on the face) and it gives me such soft and glowing skin before I put lotion on. But the lotion just glides and absorbs beautifully. I also dry brush before every shower to boost my lymphatic system and I think using this towel only helps stimulate it even more.

I don't know how I ever thought my skin was soft before I used this cloth. Those little meshy poof things and fancy body scrubs are NOTHING compared to the Salux, which is deliciously scratchy and capable of some badass exfoliation.The first time I used it, I felt like my skin was going to split open! However, within a week I was used to the sensation and will now scrub away quite happily. I use this in the mornings - It really wakes up my mind and body and gets my circulation going.
Because it dries so quickly (like 20 minutes, tops) the Salux is way more sanitary than anything else, but it's machine washable if you want that extra peace of mind. Apparently it lasts well for years too.
I've been using this religiously for 2 months and the results have been wonderful. Besides the all over baby-soft skin, my shaves are closer and the KP on the back of my upper arms has practically disappeared. There aren't any bumps left at all, just a few red dots which I'm pretty sure will vanish eventually. My skin is always smooth and soft now even without body lotion (which takes it to a whole different level, but isn't necessary if you use a moisturising soap with your Salux).
I bought a pack of 2 from the online Salux Shop (do NOT order off ebay or Amazon, too many fakes) and was over the moon with the customer service I received. Shipping was free from the US to South Africa and my package took about 2 weeks to arrive, which is pretty reasonable for most internationally shipped stuff. Joie (the lady in charge of the online shop) even included a lovely, personally signed little note.
Really, I can find nothing negative to say about this product. Just a reliable, affordable way to get smooth, soft skin. IMO everyone should have one of these little cloths in their shower.

Love these. There is nothing that makes you feel better than going for a good steam or soak, having a good sweat and scrubbing all the dead skin off with these. Clears the mind and the body!

Untethered: A Caregiver's Tale
Phyllis Peters (Self-published, $12.99)
Tom Conklin, a workaday administrator and proud baby boomer, has recently divorced and ends up getting married to Mel — a sexy, younger French colleague — as he begins caring for his aging and increasingly difficult parents. With Mel's desire for children proving a game changer, his pot-smoking, French great-grandmother-in-law moving in, and his elderly neighbors challenging his very sense of self, Tom escapes into magical thinking. Buying into local lore sends him searching for real buried treasure, but meaningful, emotional treasure proves much more elusive. Peters lives in Rochester.
Singing in the Rain: Weathering the Storm of Dementia with Humor, Love & Patience
Vicky Ruppert and Ann Henderberg (CreateSpace, $15.95)
Two local women document the last three years of caring for their husbands, who both had dementia. One husband is Jim Ruppert, who was once a vocal advocate in the media for living despite the Alzheimer's diagnosis, and a family therapist for B.O.C.E.S. 1. Ralph Henderberg is the second gentleman, who was once a talented model maker for Eastman Kodak, a sculptor, woodworker, and photo artist who was tuned in to the gifts of life. Ruppert and Henderberg recount their journey through the emails they wrote while acting as each other's support system for their husbands' final years. Parts of the book are surprisingly comical, others poignant and understandably tragic. The last chapter of the book is a primer containing important information and pointers in caregiving that they have learned. Having a caregiver partner through the disease is the best way to take this journey. Ruppert lives in Pittsford and Henderberg lives in Brighton.

Blackstone Valley Sports Editor Eric Benevides knew he would not run one of his best marathons when he set out on MondayŌĆÖs 26.2-mile Boston Marathon course, and that may well have spared him the horrific scene marking the race memories of many others.
Two bombs detonated near the courseŌĆÖs finish line killed three people, including an 8-year-old boy, by last nightŌĆÖs tally and wounded scores of others as Benevides and his wife, Bozena Chmielewski, were still running the 26.2-mile course.
Cumberland High School running Coach Tom Kenwood had believed Monday would be like any other Patriots Day when he took a bunch of his team members to Wellesley to watch runners in Boston Marathon pass by.
Patriots Day, after all, has always been a good day to visit Boston for a chance to see runners in the cityŌĆÖs historic Marathon and maybe to see the Red Sox play or take the kids to a museum.
But the explosion of bombs at the finish line for the marathonŌĆÖs 117th running changed all that while leaving thousands on the marathon course and people in general wondering why.
BOSTON ŌĆö Two bombs exploded in the packed streets near the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Monday, killing three people ŌĆö including a child ŌĆö and injuring more than 130 in a bloody scene of shattered glass and severed limbs that raised alarms that terrorists might have struck again in the U.S.
A White House official speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation was still unfolding said the attack was being treated as an act of terrorism.
President Barack Obama vowed that those responsible will "feel the full weight of justice."
PROVIDENCE ŌĆö State Rep. Michael J. Marcello wants to use GPS tracking systems to greatly expand the reach of the stateŌĆÖs domestic violence laws.
Marcello (D-Dist. 41, Scituate, Cranston) says a court-issued protective order or no-contact order is not enough to ensure that the victim of a crime will be safe from violence.
CENTRAL FALLS ŌĆö Joining neighboring Pawtucket, Central Falls Mayor James Diossa has privatized the city's trash and recycling services with the Seekonk, Mass.-based vendor MTG Disposal, Inc.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö Alfred Smith feels confident now that whenever he has to lie down on a floor, he has the ability to raise himself back up. This was a personal milestone for the 70-year-old man with developmental challenges, and he took his first step through an Adaptive Yoga project offered by Shri Studio.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō The project to replace the crumbling Pawtucket River Bridge, which carries I-95 over the Seekonk River between Exits 27 and 28, is now expected to be completed some time during the first half of August.
ThatŌĆÖs the latest estimated completion date for the $81 million bridge project, which began in the fall of 2010.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö Mix burning wooden pallets with a propane-fed fuel source and what do you get? A massive blaze of the type that kept firefighters very busy on Lockbridge Street Thursday afternoon.
At around 12:40 p.m., a fire broke out at the J.S. Pallet Company, 60 Lockbridge St. According to Capt. Robert Thurber, the city's fire marshal, a malfunctioning drying device used in the pallet-making process set off a blaze in a trailer at the commercial facility.
PAWTUCKETŌĆöWith several comments made about the benefits of ŌĆ£an extra set of eyes,ŌĆØ the City Council on Wednesday voted to engage the services of city resident Alan Tavares as a fiscal watchdog during the upcoming budget process.
The council voted 8 to 0 to accept the volunteer services of Tavares, a retired financial official who lives on Pinecrest Drive. Councilor Jean Philippe Barros had been present at the meeting earlier but left prior to this vote.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö While Woonsocket students will be the first in the Blackstone Valley to begin their summer vacations with the last day of school on June 19, most other Valley schools, including Pawtucket, East Providence and Central Falls, will have their final days of the academic year somewhere during the week of June 20-26.
Blackstone-Millville Regional School students wonŌĆÖt be leaving for the summer until a full nine days later on June 28.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö Faced with the prospect of severe overcrowding at most of the city's elementary schools, Schools Superintendent Deborah Cylke is proposing that a majority of the incoming sixth graders be relocated to classrooms at Goff or Slater junior high schools in September 2013.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö Fresh eggs and honey from Pawtucket? One local nutrition group would like to see changes in the city's zoning and animal ordinances to allow urban farming activities like these to take root.
CENTRAL FALLS ŌĆō Students in the city could soon be wearing the school colors of red and blue on their sleeves ŌĆö and on their slacks and skirts as well.
Central Falls Rep. Agostinho Silva has introduced legislation to allow Central Falls schools to adopt a dress code requiring school uniforms. Silva said parents approached him several months ago wanting to establish a school uniform policy.
ŌĆ£I told them, IŌĆÖll put it in,ŌĆØ Silva said, adding that the parents ŌĆ£are looking to put everybody at the same level, dress-wise, when they go to school.
CENTRAL FALLS ŌĆō Police Tuesday were investigating a reported bank robbery involving two armed suspects at the Navigant Credit Union on Broad Street.
According to reports, two males dressed in black and wearing black masks walked into the 693 Broad St. bank where they showed a firearm and demanded cash from a teller. The suspects were reported to have fled the scene in a green Chevy Impala with red dealer plates, and they were last seen heading toward Pawtucket.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö Though hailed as a centerpiece of the future Slater Mill National Park that local and state tourism officials are hoping becomes a reality, the Blackstone Valley Visitors Center at 175 Main St. has been struggling to pay its bills and its quasi-public owners are planning to put it up for sale.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö Graciette Nobre sat next to her tearful mother and other family members on the curb across from 191 Harrison Street on Monday as officials walked in and around the burned-out multi-family that was their home until yesterday afternoon. ŌĆ£I just want to get in there and see if I can get my car keys, and find any of my stuff,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£All of my things, my documents, are in there.ŌĆØ
PAWTUCKET -- A multi-building blaze broke out at about 1:30 p.m. Sunday on Harrison Street. The fire, which was reported to have started in one residential building, quickly spread to a second nearby building and then a third as the fire went to four alarms. There were scanner reports of possible injuries and mutual aid had to be called in to help fight the blaze. The fire appeared to be contained to three buildings and was brought under control about an hour after it was first reported. Firefighters remained on the scene throughout the afternoon. No immediate cause of the fire was given.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö Change can be scary...especially if it affects oneŌĆÖs ability to get to work, school, or some other important destination.
The Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA) has embarked on a plan to change many of its bus routes statewide, and officials say they are trying to do it without causing hardship to riders.
In an effort that began last summer, RIPTA has been doing a ŌĆ£Comprehensive Operational Analysis,ŌĆØ a study of where riders live and work, how each bus route is performing, and where changes could be made to improve service.
Just one day after state officials assembled to roll out a raft of proposed school safety legislation, a lockdown at the University of Rhode Island triggered by reports of a gunman on the South Kingstown campus brought new immediacy to what has become a national conversation about guns.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN (AP) ŌĆö The University of Rhode Island is ending a lockdown and says an investigation has revealed there was no gun or active shooter at any time on its South Kingstown campus.
The school ordered students and staff to stay indoors Thursday after reports of a gunman on campus.
A student in an 11 a.m. physiology class told The Associated Press that she was sitting in the back of a large lecture hall when someone sounding scared yelled "You're a nice guy! You're a nice guy!"
The student says people then started to run and scream, and the professor told all the students to run.

Before you all go Googling the scary stuff for me--my son was newborn-screened for Maple Syrup Urine Disease, PKU, and all those other scary metabolic illnesses. Also, along with diabetes, those come with symptoms (lethargy, weight loss, rashes, extreme hunger/thirst) that he absolutely does not have. I don't take Fenugreek or any other supplements.
For the past two months or so, I've been noticing a very strong, musty, sweet, vanilla-like smell to my 9 month old son's diapers. He's in cloth, washed in unscented detergent, breastfed, eating small amounts of assorted solids 2 or 3 times a day.
It's really strong when he first wakes up, although sometimes I get a hit of it from diapers later in the day too.
Seeing the dr. next week for his well visit anyway, and will ask, but anyone else have this? I've Googled all over, and found tons of threads of other people asking (with no answers), and articles about Maple Syrup Urine disease and diabetes (which would have additional symptoms).

Breast Cancer Detection
In this article
The only way to confirm cancer is for a doctor to do a needle aspiration or surgical biopsy to collect and test tissue for cancer cells.
If It's Cancer
If you're diagnosed with breast cancer, you and your doctor will need to know what type it is and how advanced it is. A check of your lymph nodes can tell if the disease has spread. Other tests give an idea of what treatments may work best for you, and still others predict the likelihood that your cancer will come back after treatment.
Your doctor can help you understand all of these tests, and together you'll decide on the best treatment plan for you.

We stayed in the Swift Serenity Caravan mon - fri. The caravan was a lot bigger than we expected and all rooms were very tidy and modern. The decked area outside was quite big, plenty of room for a table of 6 with a seperate area for the hot tub (which was amazing!)
We used the indoor pool twice and found this great for our kids (4 +1)to play around in
Staff not very nice no changing rooms in swimming pool
The park was in the middle of no where so had to drive every where also food in site was awful we tried it once and the lady that cooked it burnt it all so waste money apart from that relaxing holiday
we had the caravan with hotub excellent friendly Park.Plenty to do nearby,beautiful beaches and cliff walks.Axe wildlife Park 5 minutes away great for children. we will definitely be back.
Nice stay at lovely site, but caravan needs updating, there was mould on the curtains in the bedrooms, and the kitchen utensils and cooking dishes really need replacing. Staff really nice.
Loved it, close to seaside, shops and the staff are very very friendly would love to go back.
We had a wonderfull stay at the lodge with the hot tub. It was really great. We used it every day. The lodge was clean and spacious. Our kids also had an amazing time. Lots of things to do at the park for older kids. Not so much for younger childeren. They did enjoy the pool and the playground.
We had a splendid time.
Brilliant definitely go again
This was our second stay at this Holiday Park, we find it an ideal base for sight seeing in the immediate area. The caravan was clean and well equipped for my husband and I and our two young grandchildren.
Lovely site, good location, helpful staff. Play area, soft play and swimming pool all good features.
Lovely holiday, nice clean caravan. Great swimming pool and grounds
The facilities could benefit customers by opening earlier in the season, e.g. early july instead of late july.
Had a lovely stay here. Caravan was spotless and very comfortable. We were right by the pool which was great. Pool was lovely and very quiet when we were there. Didn't really use any of the other facilities as we were out and about. The site was in a good location to visit lots of places. The staff were very friendly. Was a nice quiet site. We'd recommend it.
Lovely spacious caravan.
Great dog walking areas.
Nice pool.
Good central area for visiting many places in Devon and Dorset.
Helpful and friendly staff.
Really enjoyed my holiday.
Thank you.
A lovely small site that is excellently kept. Everywhere is very clean and tidy. Staff are friendly and helpful and there is an abundance of literature related to the local area and attractions. Location is appropriate for exploring local area although it is necessary to have a car to access other areas. We planned to walk to the coast but no appropriate route from the site to allow us to do this. This was not a huge problem though as we took the car to Seaton and then walked part of the coastal path, which was great. I would definitely recommend this site for a quiet, relaxing break.

To those of you considering getting either 21" tires or the road hazard insurance I share the following:
- I'm not a car guy
- I got a P85 with 21" tires because of the promise of extra handling/performance
- I'm thrilled with my MS
- I live in Omaha, NE (Pothole capital of the world.)
While driving to work I deftly avoided a pothole the size of a small car. Smiling and feeling quite smug about my quick reactions I glanced in the rearview mirror to take a look at the tire-eater I just avoided, only to squarely hit a pothole the size of a large car. This happened with a block of work. I limped in, parked, and took a look at the passenger side front tire. It was flat. I had blown out the sidewall.
A bit irritated I took solace in the fact that the week before, based upon what I thought was good advice on the forum, purchased the road hazard insurance. So at least I would not have to pay for the replacement.
Little did I know how quickly things would go from bad to worse. My first call was to Telsa inside service where I learned that I would have to deal with anther company, SENSIO, to deal with the tire reimbursement. Next call, SENSIO. They gave the number of the local tire company they had a relationship with. It happened to be close to work and a company we have dealt with, great! Third call was to the local tire company. They quickly informed me that not only did they not have the tire in stock, they would not order it for me nor if I found one and brought it in would they mount it for me. Really? Yes, really. They did now want the "liability" of damaging the rim. Calls 4-143 (about) were to various tire companies trying to source the tire. No luck, until Tesla, at my request, helped find it, on the internet. OK, not my idea of road hazard insurance support, but I understand that this is a new car, I'm an early adopter. Time to suck it up and order the tire. Then, via a reference from one of the many of the local tire companies that would not do the work, they got me in touch with seemingly the only one in the area willing/able to mount the tire. The tire arrived and thinking my frustrations were coming to a close I called SENSIO to find out what next. That was call 144 through 150. Finally I got them connected to the company doing the mounting of the tire. Now IF the company was a SENSIO partner the company doing the work could bill SENSIO directly and that would be that. But since I HAD to go with an unapproved vendor I would be responsible for submitting the bills for payment. Then I found out that they "might" want to have the tire shipped to them for inspection. Of course, they did. Now I have to get copies of both bills and email to them. I did. Then I had to ship off the tire. Which I did. Not that either of those are huge deals, it is just a few more "pin pricks" on top of a lot of previous "pin pricks". So I'm thinking it's over. Silly me. I then follow up has I have not heard anything. It takes two emails as I don't hear back from the first. I am informed that they received the tire but do not have a record of the bills. So I send them again. One more little "pin prick". Now understand there are two bills, one for the tire, one for the mounting. That's it. No towing, no claim on the rim. Just the tire and the mounting. I receive an email back letting me know that they need me to write on one of the bills, the $40 mounting bill, the VIN number of the car, the claim number, the date of the event, my children's name, social security numbers, and the lyrics of "American Pie", the long version! (Ok, no children information or lyrics, but that is what it felt like.) That is the one that has pushed me over the edge and to send out this warning to all Telsa owners. Beware death by a thousand road hazard pin pricks! There is no way they need that information or can't do it themselves.
In fairness. Everyone at Tesla was great. Everyone at SENSIO was very polite. If you are in an area that has a SENSIO partner that can handle this for you, your experience might be much better.
A few other things to keep in mind. The total submitted in the claim was $370. The tire was $330 (over $600 purchased directly from Tesla) and mounting $40. So I would have to have two more blowouts before I would even break even on the $900 paid for the road hazard. The rim was scuffed but was still functional so it did not qualify for replacement are any financial consideration of any kind. (The main reason I got the road hazard as they are expensive.) The thought of going through this two more times makes me nauseous. Also note that the limit on a single tire claim is $600. So if you were to purchase the tire directly form Tesla you would have some out of pocket cost to make up the difference from the cost of the tire and their single incident limit. Mounting and or towing would also be on your dime.
Lessons Learned
1) If you are a not a "car guy" I would not get the 21"s. I did, not terribly sorry I did, but if I had to do it over again I would not get them. If I had the 19"s it is much more likely that it would have survived my encounter with the pothole.
2) Unless you plan on blowing out a bunch of tires, have a lot more time, and a lot more patience that I do, (I readily admit I have very little free time and not a lot of patience.) I would avoid the road hazard. It would have been better for me just to pay for the tire and move on. Quicker, easier, cheaper.
I don't have a check yet and don't expect to get one for a month or two.
I hope this helps a few of you out there.
New hardware and app wish list.
Front camera with a pothole warning system. :-)
Hope things go better for you.
Wow! What a terrible experience.
Has anyone called their insurance company to see if standard auto insurance policies cover wheel damage? I can understand if tires are not covered, but I suspect wheels may be.
In our area, people can submit a claim to the city and be reimbursed for tire/wheel/auto damage if a pothole is the cause. The cities here are liable if streets are not properly maintained and cause damage.
I have a P85 with 21" wheels and have purchased the tire and wheel insurance. Fortunately, I live in the Bay Area with the Fremont Service Center (attached to the Tesla Factory) within 10 miles from work.
Two weeks ago, I had two punctures two days apart. I was able to drive to the Fremont Service Center and, in both cases, the tires had to be replaced. They had the tires in stock (helps to be attached to the factory) and did all the work, contacting the insurance company, giving them the DOT numbers of the tires removed and replaced etc. I just signed the work order and drove away with the new tires.
For those of you living near a Tesla service center, the very capable Tesla service folk make a big difference in how this insurance gets implemented. I am sorry that @jjs had a bad experience in Omaha and I hope Tesla can mediate between SENSIO and other owners next time. The Fremont service center charged $370 for the tire and $50 for installation, with the total bill being $440 with tax. My $900 has already paid off.
This is one reason I will not be getting the 21" tires. The run flats get damaged too easily. I've seen that first hand on my current X5.
To be honest, I can't imagine the handling differences between the 19" and 21" to be so massive as to justify the extra $$ and aggravation.
Omaha isn't the only place where the roads are terrible unfortunately, try coming out to beautiful Sonoma County and marvel at roads rated as some of the worst in California. :(
I guess that's why they canceled the tire/rim warranty offering for the time being. I'd heard the third-party service was bad...
I'm starting to think all road hazard insurance is bad. My one experience with it was when I had a blowout in one and a slow leak in another at the same time on my wife's POS BMW. Insurance co. refused to pay for the blowout. What a scam.
Agree about being careful with the 21 inch tires! Its one virtue is that I am a much more careful driver now.
viranjit - Very glad you had a good experience. I hope others do as well. Nice to see I got bad information on the cost of the tire. (Although the info. came from a Tesla inside sales rep.)
Part of my issue is being so far from a service center and in an area not as familiar with this car/tech.
Thank you for sharing so all can get a balanced view.
@jjs - hopefully the Tesla folk will improve dealing with SENSIO. Remember that your insurance is still good for years and could still pay off. Who knows, some day Omaha may have a Tesla dealership and your future experience would certainly improve.
My in-laws live in Omaha and we visit them many times a year. It is certainly a big enough city to qualify for a Tesla dealership soon.
No dealerships, stores. This distinction matters (see NC).
FWIW, I live in Northern California, and have done all of my tire buying/alignments etc at a chain called Wheel Works. They will sell you a tire protection plan that covers road hazards (replace/repair the tire), plus free rotation and balancing. I just went in today to add my new Model S with 19" Goodyear OEM tires. Cost me $40/tire. I have always purchased this plan from them, and have always made money on the deal. Over the life of any set of tires I have purchased/driven, I have always had to replace 1 (or sometimes 2) due to non-repairable damage. YMMV.
My advise is don't buy the 21's if you drive in a pot hole prone area. Don't buy the insurance either because they come up with all kinds of excuses not to pay you. i just hit a pothole in the garden state parkway exit in New Jersey. The front right tire side wall gave out and caused the tire to go flat. No tires were available anywhere close to my location. Called Tesla they towed the car to White Plains NY for tire replacement. Then the story really gets bad. Tesla rep calls me and says i need three tires. The two rear tires have bubbles in the side walls. He tells me the tires are covered up to $600.00 each but cost $650.00 each plus some other charges that bring the cost up to $2200.00. No problem change all three and i will pay the difference. However, you must pay first and they submit the claim to Sonsio together with the tires. About two weeks later i get a set of letters from Sonsio with one check for $600.00. They deny the claim on the other two tires saying the DOT numbers don't match the tire on one claim and the other tire is worn out on the side. They are both bald. These tires had about 5000 miles on them and they were not bald, but now that i don't have the tires i can't dispute this. I hope the Tesla rep took pictures before he sent them in. i know they were not bald because i had some other work done on my car about 3 weeks earlier and asked the tech to check my tires because of all the complaints i have read on here about rear tire wear. He looked at them with me and showed me they were still fine. Moral of the story don't buy the insurance they won't pay your claim. Thats probably why Tesla doesn't sell it anymore.
I just bought MS with 21 tires, where do I buy the hazard warranty? since Tesla is not offering any more.
why did you buy so many tires?
Yeah, those third party insurance plans are a pain in the rear end. I bought one once for my cell phone, and used it. That experience taught me never to buy an insurance plan again.
Once I bought tire insurance from a tire shop - blew out a tire and that was an easy replacement since they provided the insurance themselves. BUT when I got my new tires they presented me with a bill anyways, and I asked what are these charges? They were for new insurance on the new tire - turns out the insurance coverage was for the tire, not for a period of time. So a one shot deal. Always something...
Word is (from a Service Station), don't get the 21s ;)
Aren't there high performance (sticky) 19" tires?
