1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to penile implants and, more particularly, is directed towards an implant device for improving the appearance of a penis that is misshapen, damaged or otherwise lacks normal anatomical details.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Penile implants are known in the prior art. The following is a survey of the present state of he art:
Elist, U.S. Pat. No. 5,445,594 teaches an implant device for expanding the girth and length of a penis. A soft, flexible body is implanted between the shaft and the skin of the penis. The body takes the shape of a partial cylindrical sleeve that has an outer, relatively elastic sheet member and an inner, relatively inelastic sheet member. When implanted, the body covers the corpus cavernosum of the penis and does not or only partially covers the urethra, and extends in length between the glans penis and the base of the penis. A principally closed sack is formed between the inner and outer sheet members for receiving a fluid under pressure from a fluid source. Spring-like ribs are embedded within the inner sheet member for preventing collapse of the inner sheet member when the body is deflated.
Trick, U.S. Pat. No. 5,101,813 discloses a sterile, fully assembled, multi-component, penile erectile system which is to be surgically implanted in man for the treatment of erectile impotence. The system includes at least one elongated, flexible cylindrical member with a pressure chamber for implanting into the pendulous penis; a pressure bulb to be implanted in the scrotal sac; tubing integrally connecting the pressure chamber and the bulb to form a closed system; and, a system for adding or subtracting fluid from the system. The tubing is reinforced so that it will not collapse under suction or kink when bent. In one embodiment the pressure bulb is a multi-stroke pump and in another embodiment there is a receptacle for storing any tubing in excess of that required to extend between two or more components in a given patient. A method of sterilizing and packaging the system so that it can be provided to a surgeon assembled, filled and sterile is also described.
Zinner et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,069,201 teaches a penile prosthesis which includes proximal and distal end portions with an intermediate normally flexible, nondistensible, collapsible main body portion that adjoins the proximal and distal portions. The main body portion includes filler elements that, in some embodiments of the invention, limit radial expansion of a rigidification chamber of the main body portion, and in other embodiments, limit radial constriction of the rigidification chamber. In some embodiments of the invention, rigidification is accomplished by movement of fluid into a rigidification chamber and in other embodiments of the invention rigidification is accomplished by movement of fluid out of a rigidification chamber. The prosthesis includes a manually manipulatable pumping arrangement to establish the necessary fluid movement for development of an erectile condition or a flaccid condition as desired.
Lue et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,982,731 teaches a method and system for augmenting penile erection in a human male. An inflatable cuff is placed circumferentially around the corpora carvemosa, the deep dorsal vein, and the cavernous veins, adjacent to the hilum of the penis. Selective compression of the cuff will function to restrict venous drainage to augment penile erection. The cuff is adapted to have opposite ends thereof attached together and at least one inflatable vesicle is formed on the inner side of the cuff. A pump, including an attendant control system, is sized for implantation in a scrotum whereby the pump can be selectively squeezed to inflate and fluid pressurize the vesicle to compress the cuff around the penis. A control circuit, connected between the cuff and the pump, functions to automatically deflate the cuff after a predetermined period of time has elapsed.
Trick, U.S. Pat. No. 4,917,110 discloses an implantable prosthesis for correcting erectile impotence. The prosthesis includes at least one penile implant with a pressure chamber, an accumulator charged with fluid, tubing connected the accumulator to the pressure chamber of the implant, a valve which is normally closed, and a lever which can be moved to open the valve so that pressurizing fluid will flow from the accumulator into the pressure chamber.
Trick et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,726,360 discloses a penile prosthesis which is adapted to be surgically implanted in man for the treatment of erectile impotence. The prosthesis includes at least one elongated, flexible cylindrical member which is adapted to be implanted into the corpus cavernosum of the pendulous penis, a pressure bulb for pressurizing liquid, and tubing connecting the member and the bulb. The member includes an inner non-distensible pressure chamber and an outer distensible chamber. The two chambers are connected by a passage and a valve for controlling flow through the passage so that fluid can be transferred from the pressure bulb, via the pressure chamber, to the outer chamber to cause it to distend, and in turn increase penile girth.
Whitehead, U.S. Pat. No. 4,665,903 teaches a prosthetic device for implantation within the penis which has a pumping mechanism that is integral with, and is in fluid communication with two fluid storage sections. Fluid is pumped manually from the proximal storage section to distal storage section and then to four distal expansile sections that inflate to render the penis rigid and capable of sexual activity. Undesirable shrinkage of the erect penis is avoided through a rigid frame and bellows that prevent the proximal reservoir from contracting longitudinally and radially as fluid is withdrawn from this storage section to produce the erect penis.
Yachia et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,523,584 discloses a penile erectile system for treating male impotency. The system comprises a sleeve of biocompatible material having at least one pressurizable chamber which is adapted to be implanted about the penile shaft of a patient. A fluid reservoir of pressurizing fluid, and a pump for transferring the fluid under pressure from the reservoir to the chamber is placed beneath the penile skin, between the skin and the shaft. The system also includes tubing connecting the reservoir and pump to the pressurizable chamber, and a valve for controlling the flow of fluid into, and out of, the pressurizable chamber. In a preferred embodiment, a pressure bulb serves both as the fluid reservoir and the pump.
Schroeder, U.S. Pat. No. 4,407,275 discloses a semi-rigid annular ring having individual expandable chambers on the internal wall that are distended separately by fluid pressure. A multi-port flexible conduit is connected to the ring, having individual ports for each chamber. Fluid pressure is supplied through the conduit manually by a bulb, or electrically by a pump through a circular valve plate allowing the chambers to expand and contract in linear sequence. When a penis is placed into the ring and fluid pressure is applied, blood is forced to the end of the organ through the successive expansion and contraction of the bellows in wave fashion mechanically creating an erect condition of the organ.
Trick, U.S. Pat. No. 4,369,771 discloses a simple, reliable pressure control valve for a medical device having a hydraulic system. The system is comprised of a valve housing having an open top and a bottom and an inwardly directed shoulder partially closing the top; a poppet with an upwardly extending stem mounted in the housing between the top and the bottom; a sealing edge mounted on the poppet circumferentially about the stem, and a calibrated spring urging the poppet towards the open top of the housing so that the sealing edge is in sealing contact with the underside of the shoulder and the stem extends above the top of the housing so that manual pressure can be exerted upon the stem to open the valve, or the valve can be opened by a hydraulic pressure which exerts sufficient force upon the top of the poppet to overcome the force of the spring.
Rogers, U.S. Pat. No. 4,281,648 discloses an inflatable condom, prophylactic or prosthetic device having conventional anterior portion and retaining ring or reinforced edge with an expandable secondary portion extending from the anterior member, and having an air duct extending inside the anterior portion in communication with the secondary portion to facilitate controlled inflation of the secondary portion responsive to manipulation of a pressure bulb.
Yamanaka, U.S. Pat. No. 4,235,227 teaches an artificial corpus cavernosum device which is designed to be implanted into the imaired penis of a patient for the remedy of his impotence. The device comprises at least one artificial corpus cavernosum penis of elongated tubular pouch made of an artificial thin membrane to be implanted into the penis and for selectively receiving and being filled with a fluid for erecting the penis, a container made of an artificial thin membrane for storing the fluid under the normal condition when the penis is not inflated, and hence not erected, the container means being implantable into the scrotum, a slenderized conduit means for connecting at least one artificial corpus cavernosum penis to the container means in fluid communication with one another, and a check valve interposed in fluid communication with the container means, and having a valve member provided with a through-hole(s) for allowing the fluid, once forcibly delivered from the container means, to pass to the artificial corpus cavernosum penis and to return to the container means again little by little through the through-hole(s).
Finney, U.S. Pat. No. 4,204,530 discloses an implantable sleeve for increasing the penile diameter. The sleeve includes a flexible sheet of soft, physiologically acceptable implantable material, the sheet being of sufficient length when formed in the general shape of a cylindrical sleeve to extend from the glans penis to the base of the penis, and of a width which is insufficient to completely encircle the penis, but sufficient to cover the corpora cavernosa. The sheet preferably has edges which are rounded and tapered side edges. The sleeve also includes suturing strips on the inside wall of the sleeve, adjacent the side edges of the sheet, which facilitate the suturing of the sheet to the tunica albuginea. The sleeve further includes porous patches located on the interior of the inside wall of the sleeve into which fibroblasts from the underlying tissues can grow to further anchor the sleeve to the tunica albuginea. In the preferred embodiment, the sheet is of very soft, medical grade silicone elastomer, and suturing strips are of Dacron fabric and the porous patches are of Dacron fabric or fluff.
Clearly, then, there is a need for a penile implant device that is primarily directed at improving penile appearance, and can accommodate natural changes is penile length without causing discomfort. Such a needed device would not press inwardly on the shaft of the penis during especially during erection. Further, such a device would have a smooth, natural look and feel, both while the penis is flaccid as well as when it is erect. The present invention fulfills these needs and provides further related advantages.
The present invention is an implant device for improving the appearance of a penis that is misshapen, damaged or otherwise lacking in a natural anatomical appearance. A bellows like body being lengthwise expandable and generally flexible, is implanted between the penis shaft and the skin of the human penis. In the preferred embodiment, the body takes the shape of a double walled partial cylindrical sleeve, the walls having a bellows-like construction. A soft sponge material is positioned within the sleeve between the sleeve walls. When implanted, the body covers the shaft including the corpus cavernosum of the penis and extends in length between the glans penis and the base of the penis. One or more principally closed sacks is/are formed, so that the device may receive a fluid from a fluid pressurization source. The present invention is well suited for patients that can achieve a natural erection, yet suffer from a penile malformity. When pressurized, the implant expands radially to increase the girth of the penis but does not press inwardly on the corpus cavernosum, arteries and veins, or the urethra of the penis, and further has a smooth, natural look and feel, both when the penis is flaccid as well as when it is erect.
The fact that the implant provides an enhanced girth makes it ideal for use on patients with a less then average penile diameter, who wish to increase the diameter of the penis for vanity reasons, or who have surgical malformities. Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following more detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which illustrate, by way of example, the principles of the invention.
The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention a penile implant. In such drawings:
FIG. 1 is a perspective illustration of the present invention, a penile implant for improving the appearance of a human penis, illustrating a U-shaped outer partial cylindrical wall interconnected with a fluid storage means by a flexible tube, the partial cylindrical wall is constructed like a bellows which may expand and contract longitudinally, as shown at the left side of the figure;

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing an elevational view of a cross-section of a still further alternate embodiment of the invention.
The present invention, as shown in the figures, is a penile implant for providing a natural appearance to a malformed or small human penis 5. The implant provides a flexible double walled U-shaped partial cylindrical tube 10, and having, concentrically oriented, an outside partial cylindrical wall 20 positioned under a penile outer skin 30, and an inside partial cylindrical wall 40 positioned around a penile shaft 50, both of the ends 12A, 12B of the partial cylindrical tube 10 are closed between the outside 20 and the inside 40 walls by a membrane-like end wall 60. Positioned between the inside 20 and outside 40 partial cylindrical walls, and attached to the end walls 60 at both ends 12A, 12B of the partial cylindrical tube 10, is an elastic, absorbent, sponge material 70 engorged with a liquid 80, preferably a saline solution. The outside 20 and the inside 40 walls each provide a plurality of annular, circumferential folds 90 in the manner of a bellows, enabling longitudinal extension and retraction of the partial cylindrical tube 10 as well as general flexibility, with changes in penile length. FIG. 1 shows, in phantom line, a portion 16 of the partial cylindrical tube 10 as expanded lengthwise. The walls 20, 40 are preferably made of an impregnated fabric so that they are impermeable. The folds 90 provide circumferential rigidity to the partial cylindrical tube 10 so that it is not easily crushed, and the inside wall 40 is reinforced so that pressure within the partial tube 10 does not cause the inner wall 40 to press inwardly on the shaft 50 of the penis 5. However, the outer wall 20 tends to expand in diameter with increased pressure within the tube 10. The sponge material is preferably a material made by Merocel, Inc. of Mystic, Conn. It is a special sponge that expands by about 25% when it is wet.
Thus, upon engorgement, the sponge material tends to cause the partial cylindrical tube 10 to assume a larger diameter. Thus it has been found, determined, and invented that a U-shaped partial cylinder, constructed as a double walled bellows, provides, as an implant, a superior and unique structural capability to the human penis and provides appropriate support to the penis when flaccid as well as erect, so that a damaged or malformed penis provided with the implant of the present invention may function as well as any normal penis while assuming a normal anatomical configuration.
The implant further includes, as best seen in FIGS. 1, 3A and 3B, a means for storing 100 a portion 110 of the liquid 80. The storing means 100 preferably a small bulb of flexible material such as silicon robber, is in liquid communication with the sponge material 70 by a flexible means for liquid conduction 120 such as a flexible tube, the storing means 100 providing a flexible wall 102 for pressurizing the liquid conduction means 120 and further providing a one-way valve 104 functionally allowing the portion 110 of the liquid 80 to flow from the storing means 100 to the conduction means 120 but not the reverse, i.e., from the conduction means 120 to the storing means 100. As shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, the one-way valve is preferably an annular lip 103 that is forced open when the storing means 100 is pressurized by pressing on wall 102. However, the lip tends to tightly close if the liquid 80 tries to flow back into the storing means 100.
The implant further includes, as best seen in FIG. 4, a distribution tube means 130 comprising an annular tube wall means 132, with a plurality of outlet hole means 134 positioned in it. The distribution tube means 130 is positioned within the partial cylindrical tube 10 preferably within the sponge material 70. One end 136 of the distribution tube means 130 is in liquid communication with the liquid conduction means 120 for conducting the liquid 80 into the partial cylindrical tube means 10. The distribution tube means 130 preferably extends from one end 12A to the other end 12B of the partial cylindrical tube 10 so that the liquid 80 may be delivered to the sponge material 70 uniformly.
As shown in FIG. 5 the partial cylindrical tube 10 may be one continuous and integral piece. In this case, the ends 200 of the tube 10 may be separated, or alternatively may be joined with a flexible sheet 210. Alternately, as shown in FIG. 6, the tube 10 may comprise two separate and separable portions 10A and 10B, each of the portions having the outside 20 and the inside 40 partial cylindrical walls joined along longitudinally directed seams 220 to form two closed chambers, filled with portions 70A and 70B respectively, of the sponge material 70. Preferably, the two portions 10A and 10B are positioned around opposing sides 50A and 50B respectively of the penile shaft 50. In a still further embodiment of the invention, as shown in FIG. 7, the tube 10 may comprise three separate and separable portions 10C, 10D and 10E, each of the portions having the outside 20 and the inside 40 partial cylindrical walls joined along longitudinally directed seams 220 to form three closed chambers filled with portions 70C, 70D and 70E respectively, of the sponge material 70. Preferably, the three portions 10C-E are positioned around the penile shaft 50 approximately as shown in FIG. 7.
In use, pressurizing of the cylinder 10, by pressing on the wall 102 of storage means 100 to drive the fluid 110 into the sponge material 70 causes the partial cylindrical tube 10 to assume a firm and normal penis like appearance both in the flaccid and the erect states of the penis. Since the sponge material 70 tends to expand when wet, the penis takes on a larger overall diameter. During changes in penile state, the partial cylindrical tube walls 20, 40 extend or retract as necessary to accommodate the required length of penis 5, and remain firm due primarily to the bellows structure, the sponge material 70, and the pressure level of the liquid 80 within the partial cylindrical tube 10.
While the invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is to be clearly understood by those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited thereto. Rather, the scope of the invention is to be interpreted only in conjunction with the appended claims.

Recent reviews
Good 3.7 /5 from 21 reviews
The exterior is beautiful as a chateau should be - picturesque! The inside sadly does not match the experience. Service staff was poorly available, inexperienced and untrained. Upon arriving back to the hotel at 8 pm one night the reception was nopen but no staff could be found - we ended up going behind the desk to get our own key - a major security concern. The rooms while interesting are worn and need updating. The furniture was a hodgepodge of old and new, combining period furniture with IKEA type furniture. The restaurant on premises serves good food but is overpriced as is the accommodation for the quality and service available. I have stayed at 4 different chateaus in French wine regions and would return to 3 of them - not to Chateau de Gilly! The nearby Beaune has several attractive properties and while not "chateaus" offer decadent French hospitality. While in the area do make sure that you spend a day cycling through the wine country by contacting Bourgogne Evasion - one of the most beautiful and enjoyable days in French wine coutry.
No ax and very outdated
We needed an overnight destination on our trip from Avignon to Paris, and some how came across the Chateau de Gilly just outside of Dijon in the heart of the Bourgogne wine region. What a marvelous experience. The Chateau is heart of Gilly which is the most charming French village we encountered on a tour de France. The Chateau has roots going back eight or nine centuries, but is thoroughly modern. The rooms are huge, extremely comfortable and delightful. The gardens are filled with animal sculpture and river that borders the southern edge beautiful. Everything was absolutely perfect. Given that the Chateau is in a remote village, the restaurant is pretty much your only choice. Fortunately it is extremely good with a huge wine list focusing on the Bourgogne. it is also very expensive. I can't wait to get back!!!
we were disappointed that such a fabulous building from the outside appeared to be so unkept on the inside. The rooms were very ordinary and to get a plastic glass in the bathroom at this level of accommodation is very poor.we were looking forwards to our evening meal, the dining room is fantastic but the food was poor and not really to the standard expected of such an establishment. The bread was old and tough and so was the beef. unfortunately the waiter argued with us, not a good thing to do. We did give us a discount for our troubles but it never replaces the loss of enjoyment.

Dismounting, I offer my friend a cup of wine,
I ask what place he is headed to.
He says he has not achieved his aims,
Is retiring to the southern hills.
Now go, and ask me nothing more,
White clouds will drift on for all time.
–Wang Wei (??), The Farewell (ca. 750 CE)
This poem, one of the best known works of the Tang dynasty poet and civil servant Wang Wei, is selected as a tribute to Phil Carter, who has just stepped down from the most thankless posting in the administration–as deputy assistant secretary for detainee affairs in the Department of Defense. He acquitted himself admirably in that position, demonstrating something that few government servants can–the ability to listen patiently and attentively to those who have differing views, always showing a spirit of good will and a desire to understand, combining the ethos of the citizen soldier and the public servant in an almost effortless way. As in the case of Wang Wei's departing friend, he is a devoted servant of the state now moving on to "achieve other aims."
Wang Wei was simultaneously an accomplished painter, and many of his poems appear linked to paintings, only a few of which survive (usually as copies). It's possible that this poem is intended to accompany a landscape, probably of hills within a cloud bank like the work of Gao Kogong set above the poem.
Listen to Dame Janet Baker sing Gustav Mahler's setting of Wang Wei's Farewell from Das Lied von der Erde (1909) in a 1970 performance with Rafael Kubelik and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. The poem can of course be understood in different ways, but by tradition it has been seen as tied to a literal scene of leave-taking. The poet bids farewell and offers a parting drink to his friend, another civil servant or warrior, who is traveling south into retirement. In Mahler's modification, the poet is puzzled about the reasons for the sudden parting, pressing his friend for an explanation. He replies with a suggestion of dissatisfaction with his life as a civil servant, a want of fulfillment. The poem sounds a note of momento mori, a sense of need to get on with life and to more fully taste its possibilities–being conscious of the limited time available to each of us. But against this the poet sets the image of eternity, shown in white clouds drifting in the hills–a promise of transcendence through artistic vision. Mahler adapts the text heavily to stress this final element of the eternal. The singer repeatedly intones the word "ewig" ("forever"), six paired repetitions, descending in tonality as the reality of the world appears to fade away and a post-temporal space is bid to emerge (in Ernest Bloch's memorable formulation, "it melts with an unresolved suspension into an immeasurable forever.") It is one of Mahler's greatest accomplishments involving orchestra and the human voice, aggressively challenging the sonic possibilities of the voice and orchestra with the underlying themes of the poem.

In Havana, the past year has been marked by a parade of bold-faced names from the north — John Kerry reopening the United States Embassy; Andrew Cuomo bringing a delegation of American business leaders; celebrities ranging from Joe Torre, traveling on behalf of Major League Baseball to oversee an exhibition game between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cuban national team, to Jimmy Buffett, said to be considering opening one of his Margaritaville restaurants there. All this culminated with a three-day trip in March by Barack Obama, the first American president to visit Cuba since Calvin Coolidge in 1928. But to those who know the city well, perhaps nothing said as much about the transformation of political relations between the United States and Cuba that began in December 2014 as a concert in the Tribuna Antiimperialista.

About Senior Cycling Bike Tours
We are a small owner operated touring company that has been in business for 16 years. Our tours are limited to 12 riders to insure superior personal service. We have personally scouted and biked each and every tour. Mark and Colleen Troy are the new owners and will be our van drivers, chefs and funstigators. Several other leaders will be helping on a number of tours as well. The sag wagon is available at all times if you ever feel the need for a lift. We maintain cell phone contact with the sag wagon for added security. We have developed a reputation for our healthy, delicious lunches. We make a promise to do what ever it takes to insure that you have an enjoyable tour with us. The new management wants you to rest assured that you will enjoy the same special treatment with them that you've received over the years with Pat and Vera.
Mark has been a cyclist for his entire adult life. His love for bike travel led him into some wonderful adventures, including crossing the USA in 2013 with Adventure Cycling on the TransAmerica route. His 13-person team was "self-contained", meaning they had no support vehicle. They camped most of the time and had to purchase and cook food daily. This was a life-changing event for Mark. Fly fishing and photography are some of Mark's other interests. He spent many years as a professional printer, having owned a printing company for 13 years with his wife, Colleen. While on the TransAm tour, Mark decided it was about time to change careers and get into something he's truly passionate about – bicycle touring. Owning this company is a dream-come-true for him!
About Colleen Troy
Colleen Troy has an adventurous spirit in spite of being a scaredy cat at times. She has hiked ONE part of the Appalachian Trail (White Mtns, New Hampshire); completed three sprint triathlons and more recently earned an open water scuba diving certification that was A LOT more work than fun. But she did it. She's participated in many outdoor activities with women and is a certified life coach and hospice volunteer. She is lover of courtyard gardens, perfecting the pie and the hula hoop. After 50 years, she has learned to loved her dimples.
About Pat Blackmon
Pat has spent a lifetime teaching and encouraging others to love sports and the great outdoors. In her teens she taught tennis and in college she taught swimming to infants and seniors. In her thirties she was instrumental in getting her county to establish leagues for women in softball and basketball. During that time, she led her 12 year old son, friends, and a group of Girl Scouts to love backpacking. Over the course of three summers, Pat and her son hiked the entire Appalachian Trail! In her forties she continued to play softball with the twenty year olds.
In her fifties Pat discovered the world of "seniors". In three short months she coached a group of inexperienced women players over fifty to become a formidable softball team. That team went on to win a Gold Medal in the Senior Olympics. That and numerous other softball coaching accomplishments got her elected to the Washington Metropolitan Area Softball Hall of Fame in 1995. In 2000, Pat was the first woman player inducted into the National Senior Softball Hall of Fame.
At 59, Pat completed a cross country bike ride from San Diego, CA to St. Augustine, FL . Now 75 years of age she is into her fifteenth year of running her own bike touring company. Pat's knowledge, energy, and enthusiasm have created a company uniquely qualified to bring seniors the joy of touring on bikes.

Patients with above-the-knee amputations (AK or AKA) are particularly prone to developing hip flexor contractures. Not to be confused with muscle tightness, contractures are a permanent shortening of tissues which cause deformity or distortion.
Adrenal Problems
One of the most common trends to see in clinical medical practice and public health is the cycles of health "buzzwords." These come and go depending upon the current cultural zeitgeist. One year, "parasites" are causing all the issues, and the next year it's "candida."

Distal Style Treatment of Neurogenic Pain
Treat locally or distally? This question has frequented my thoughts for the treatment of pain throughout my acupuncture career. Each style has strengths and weaknesses, thus the versatile practitioner would do well to forgo dogmatic adherence to any one style in deference to the needs of the individual patient.
Keeping Malpractice Allegations at Bay
It has been suggested that in the litigious environment in which we live, the practice of chiropractic should be defensive and practitioners should constantly be watching their backs. An element of defensive practice is a good idea.

CranioSacral Therapy Outlawed in Mississippi?
By Cliff Korn, BS, LMT, NCTMB and Rebecca J. Razo
Mississippi law governing massage therapy prohibits therapists from engaging in the "manipulation or adjustment of osseous tissue," and it appears that the Mississippi State Board of Massage Therapy (MSBMT) has lumped CranioSacral Therapy (CST) into this definition as a prohibited massage therapy practice.
Massage Today first learned of the situation from Mississippi therapist Brenda Eiland, NCTMB, RMT.Ms. Eiland, who studied Visionary CranioSacral work at the Milne Institute in Big Sur, Calif., was alarmed when she discovered that the Milne Institute application to become a Mississippi CEU provider was denied. A letter signed by MSBMT Executive Director Beverly Limbaugh to the institute stated that its program "does not meet the requirements for approval."1,2 Eiland subsequently contacted the MSBMT to find out if practicing CST in Mississippi was illegal.
"I didn't get a straight answer," she said. Instead, she received an e-mail from Limbaugh stating, "Our law does not permit the movement of osseous tissue" [emphasis ours].3 Unsatisfied with the response, Eiland contacted the Mississippi attorney general's office for a clearer explanation, wherein she received a response from Leyser Hayes, the special assistant attorney general representing the MSBMT. He stated: "Mississippi Law does not permit the movement of osseous tissue [CranioSacral Therapy has been defined by the board to involve this movement] ... Section 73-67-7 (h) Miss. Code Ann. (1972) as amended ... defines what massage means for purposes of the practice of same in Mississippi."4
Mississippi law §73-67-7(h) provides the following definition of massage:
Subsequent inquiries by Eiland and Massage Today to the MSBMT about the practice of CST were referred to the new Mississippi "Scope of Practice" rule, which was mailed to Mississippi therapists in September.
Generally, scope-of-practice statements outline permissible practices for legally operating massage therapists. Mississippi's scope of practice, however, only states what cannot be performed legally. The new scope of practice says:
Massage Today Editor Cliff Korn contacted the Mississippi Attorney General's Office and the executive director of the MSBMT: "Osseous tissue manipulation or adjustment are typically terms referring to chiropractic or osteopathic high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) thrusts or techniques," Mr. Korn said in a letter. "Is it the interpretation of the board that 'manipulation or adjustment' is synonymous with 'movement'? I noticed in your listing of continuing education providers that all of John Barnes' myofascial release seminars were approved, and CranioSacral Therapy is an integral part of his teachings. Please ... confirm or deny the legality of a trained CranioSacral therapist to practice under the Mississippi Professional Massage Therapy Act," he added.7
In its response to Korn, the MSBMT stated the "Attorney general's office does not speak for the board of massage therapy. The Mississippi State Board of Massage Therapy speaks through its minutes." Again, Korn was referred to the Mississippi scope of practice rule.8
In a final attempt at clarification, Massage Today asked the MSBMT if the attorney general's office was incorrect in stating that "movement" of osseous tissue is illegal.9 In a written response, MSBMT President Lynn Cox stated: "The board has not interpreted any particular modality as the manipulation or adjustment of osseous tissue, but rather, reiterated in its statement on scope of practice that any technique that manipulates or adjusts osseous tissue is in violation of the law that governs massage therapists, as well as laws that govern other professionals. If the board ruled that one couldn't do CranioSacral, the name would probably be changed to SacralCranio, wouldn't it? The law has not changed. Massage therapists in Mississippi are prevented from the manipulation or adjustment of osseous tissue, regardless of one's 'expert' training."10
But according to Eiland, Cox's statement is untrue: "They have indeed signaled out a modality, as proved by the e-mail from [Hayes] and a message for me [from Limbaugh, stating] 'you cannot practice CranioSacral work as a massage therapist in Mississippi.' "11
Still, the MSBMT has yet to define the terms "manipulation" or "adjustment." In a letter to the MSBMT, Dr. John Upledger, Massage Today columnist, stated, "CranioSacral Therapy does not incorporate any techniques that involve direct osseous manipulation, mobilization or adjustments. Instead, practitioners focus on releasing restrictions in the soft-tissue, fascia and musculature that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. How can I be so sure? Because I developed CranioSacral Therapy and coined the name... ."12
Despite repeated requests, the fact remains that the MSBMT has continued to be vague in responding to questions related to the practice of CST in Mississippi. It remains unclear if the MSBMT is defining the terms "manipulation" and "adjustment" to mean HVLA thrusts - or something more. Look for updates of this situation in future issues of Massage Today.

Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Pentel Super Hi-Polymer Lead
Pentel first developed Hi-Polymer lead in 1960. Super Hi-Polymer lead is the perfect balance of dark, strong, smooth and uniform, which is why it remains the #1 selling lead in the world.
Pentel Super Hi-Polymer Lead is extremely durable lead that is ideal for high-pressure applications. Independent testing has shown that our lead can withstand up to 123.9 grams of pressure before it will break.
The average human hair is 1,000,000 angstroms in diameter, while the typical lead microspore is only 10 angstroms in diameter. However, Pentel Super Hi- Polymer Lead is just 1 angstrom in diameter. The smaller the microspore, the easier the lead adheres to the surface of the paper for smoother writing.
The way lead is produced has a lot to do with how well it will perform. Lead with too many gaps is prone to break. Lead with too many tight spots will create excess friction and reduce smoothness. Pentel Super Hi-Polymer Lead has an extremely low variance for increased durability and more consistent lines.
Lasts Longer
Each piece of lead is equivalent to a typical woodcase pencil. Pentel Super Hi- Polymer Lead can write 617 feet per inch of lead.
Lead Hardness
Pentel Super Hi-Polymer Lead is available in a variety of hardness ranging from 4B (softest) to 6H (hardest). The softer the lead, the darker the imprint, or line produced when writing. HB lead is similar to the lead found in a #2 pencil and is guaranteed to scan on all standardized tests.
Lead Diameter and Line Width
Pentel Super Hi-Polymer Lead is available in diameters from 0.3 millimeter up to 0.9 millimeter. 0.3 millimeter lead produces extra-fine lines ideal for small details. 0.5 millimeter lead produces fine lines great for accounting and general writing. 0.7 millimeter lead is the most commonly used size that is perfect for students and everyday use. 0.9 millimeter lead produces a bold line and works well for those that write with a lot of pressure or have limited fine-motor skills.
Customer Reviews

I have used this brand of pencil lead for years in various sizes and know its consistant quality and superior performance. I like the quality and ease of writing this lead offers me on a wide variety of paper surfaces. 2B lead hardness offers me the ability to write on paper and erase the marks clean without damaging the paper or leaving those tell-tale dents in the paper surface. Being a musician, this is inportant sibce I can erase my marks on the paper without causing any damage to the paper.
I have tried other brands of the same lead hardness from a variety of retailers but have found this brand of lead provides a darker line since it seems to be softer than other brands.
The shipper shipped the product by USPS and gave ne an estinated delivery date. Imagine my surprise when the product arrived several days ahead of schedule. This was good since I was able to load my expensive mechanical pencils and begib writing with them with my favorite brand of lead.
Broad Scope:
The hardness of the lead goes hand-and-hand with the thickness. Soft lead (2B, 4B, etc) will break more easily with a 0.3 or 0.5 mm pencil so you might need a thicker lead depending on how hard you write. I used to use a 0.5 HB and as my writing progressed I have noticed that you can simply read your writing more easily with a 0.9 2B although I still use my 0.5 for drafting. I got to try the 0.9 HB that came with my pencil and just like all the other HB lead it felt very hard and not very smooth.
Specific to This Product:
After buying this box of lead, I now have a lifetime worth of 2B lead... Like an insane amount. (does anybody want some of mine? lol. but seriously. don't message me.) I do have to 'click' out way more lead than when I was using HB but it is totally worth it. With HB I don't recall ever needing to 'click' more lead, while using this lead I have to do it every few sentences. Maybe I am exaggerating a bit but this is how I feel. I have not needed to reload more lead pieces yet so I guess that's a good sign.
Silky smooth writing and very dark readable text... I cannot ask for more from this lead. I have not tried anything softer than 2B but I believe this is a nice starting point for somebody wanting a softer lead than HB. I must say with the 0.9, it has very thick lines. do not buy this lead and plan on drafting with it or any type of detailed work. I use it only for writing and love it for only that purpose.

People living with HIV are particularly vulnerable to cervical cancer – in the United States, cervical cancer is the most common form of cancer among women living with HIV. And in Tanzania, the problem is even larger—cervical cancer is not just the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women, but is the most common cancer nationwide. In fact, Tanzania has one of the highest cervical cancer burdens in East Africa, with an incidence rate of 50.9 cases per 100,000 women and a mortality rate of 37.5 per 100,000 women. To fight the disease, EGPAF/Tanzania is supporting 24 sites in regions across the country – including Kilimanjaro, Lindi, Shinyanga, and Tabora– to provide cervical cancer screening and treatment services.

Welcome To Screamscape!
If you're a theme park lover or enjoy the best thrill rides the world has to offer, you've found the right place.
From new ride announcements, construction reports and the latest rumors: Screamscape always has something new to report.
News & Rumors
CEDAR POINTSandusky, Ohio (Abbreviation: CP)Cedar Fair Entertainment
Park News - (7/14/16) According to the local news Cedar Point will begin offering a Virtual Reality experience on the park's Iron Dragon coaster nightly between 6pm and 9pm. The VR Coaster experience is still in the "Beta Test" stage, and all riders have to be at least 13 or older to participate. Space is limited and reservations to participate in the test will begin at noon near the coaster's entrance. (7/4/16) With the news that Knott's Berry Farm's Soak City waterpark will be removing their Pacific Spin (ProSlide Tornado style slide) many have been wondering which other Cedar Fair waterpark would be the one to inherit the slide. While I jokingly volunteered Carowinds to get it at first, others have pointed out that it could be Cedar Point's own Soak City waterpark to get the large thriller. For now it is too early to tell until Cedar Fair makes their 2017 announcements at the end of the summer or fall, or to wait for Knott's to take the slide down in the fall and see where it gets shipped off to. (6/30/16) In The Loop posted a fun video of the Sunrise Thrills VIP Tour at Cedar Point that you may enjoy seeing. Check it out below.
2016 - VALRAVN - (5/5/16) Cedar Point has released the first official Valravn POV video this week. Check it out below and there as the media and special guests were invited out to ride, there is another funny video of a terrified rider taking the plunge below that. Oh, and if you haven't heard yet, Valravn will feature a 52" height limit instead of the typical B&M 54" height limit, so good news for the kids!
2017 - Mean Streak Renovation - Rumor - (6/10/16) According to some early rumors, I'm guessing we could see Mean Streak close down early for the season, possibly as early as late July. It seems there is some rumbling amongst some of the staff who work the ride about being told they will be trained (and transferred) work other attractions by then. (6/8/16) Regarding the rumored changes planned for Mean Streak... forget what I said last week. The plans have now only been green lit, but Screamscape sources tell us that RMC will be coming to The Point to transform Mean Streak into something bigger, faster and much meaner for the 2017 season. Typically this usually means that Mean Streak will close down before the end of the season so they can begin to work on it, but no wors on exactly when this will be. With this in mind, be sure to get your rides in now on Mean Streak, because you never know which ride may be y our last. (5/31/16) Is something going on with Mean Streak at Cedar Point, or is park management just playing mind games with the coaster enthusiasts? Coaster fans who visited The Point last weekend (May 21-22) spotted some pink paint markings and flags all around Mean Streak... including one interesting one that even said "RMC" on it. So does this mean RMC is working up plans to revamp Mean Streak for Cedar Point?

Obama's START-Treaty Hopes Stopped By Key GOP Senator
One area where President Obama had hoped to make bipartisan common cause with congressional Republicans was on the START treaty between the U.S. and Russia to reduce their nuclear arsenals.
But the chances that Republican senators would agree to a vote on the treaty during the present lame-duck session receded Tuesday with Sen. Jon Kyl's (R-AZ) announcement that he won't support such a vote.
In a statement, Kyl said:
"When Majority Leader Harry Reid asked me if I thought the treaty could be considered in the lame duck session, I replied I did not think so given the combination of other work Congress must do and the complex and unresolved issues related to START and modernization. I appreciate the recent effort by the Administration to address some of the issues that we have raised and I look forward to continuing to work with Senator Kerry, DOD, and DOE officials.
Obama has repeatedly pointed to the START treaty as an area in which he could work with Republicans, explaining that nuclear arms control has traditionally been an area of bipartisan agreement.
But Republican senators have for weeks indicated an unwillingness to vote on the treaty before the new Congress starts in January when the Republicans will gain six new senators.
Among their concerns, GOP senators said they question how the treaty would be enforced. They also questioned what they viewed as an unnecessary rush to ratify a complicated treaty.
As NPR's David Welna reported on for the network's newscast:
DAVID: At least eight Senate Republicans would have to back the New START treaty for its ratification, but so far only one has committed to doing so. Other Republicans are following the lead of Minority Whip Kyl, who's asked the Obama administration to commit more money to modernizing the nation's nuclear stockpile. After talks with administration officials, Kyl says he cannot support dealing with the treaty during the lame duck session:
KYL SOUNDBITE: I think what they discussed with us was in good faith, and they acknowledged the issues we had been raising were valid, that they did need to come up with some additional money, which i appreciated, but there's still a lot of work to be done.
