So I don't mean to toot my own horn, but I'm pretty good at most of the sports I do. I only fall over in yoga every now and then and haven't hurt myself skiing in more than two seasons. I didn't even hook my dog last time I went fly-fishing, so I was a little nervous when my latest gear came with a lesson from the sales person.
And exactly what gear comes with a lesson (or should, at any rate)? Skate skiing gear. For those of you that need a refresher, cross-country skiing has two types- classic and skate skiing. When doing the classic style, the skier appears to be on a Nordic track and their skis are indeed often in tracks. For skate skiing, imagine ice skating on really narrow skis and add in poles that come up to your nose. If that sounds incredibly awkward, then you have the correct mental picture.
I met my instructor at the Casper Nordic Center, which has 42 kilometers (26 miles) of groomed trails. This is exceptional. The alpine skiing in Casper is less than exceptional, hence the reason for my new sport. He first had me bumble around without any poles, practicing the basic skating motion, which is a great first step in all skiing disciplines. Shortly after, I added the poles in and learned the various V1 and V2 techniques. I won't bore you with the details here, but suffice to say I felt like a torso barely held upright by four randomly flailing appendages.
After jaunting up and down a straight bit for a while, we went for a ski. The downhill sections didn't worry me much since I've been flinging myself down steep slopes for too many years to remember. This was a gross oversight. I had one fantastic spill when I knocked my jaw with the handle of my pole, all because I tried to turn on the edges of my skis. Downhill skiers, Heed My Warning: skate skis do not have edges. You must step turn. Noted.
By the end two intense cardio hours, I was more or less gliding with gradual but significant weight shifts over the active ski. I even feel confident in several of the poling techniques. But the biggest lesson was how awkward my new gear felt and the ensuing trepidation which resulted from said awkwardness, which is a great reminder for any instructor. We get so comfortable in our chosen vocation that we can forget the sheer terror that is a perfectly normal response for most students, which is why I recommend that all instructors learn something new every now and then for a healthy dose of empathy.

Press Release
TSNC begins service to schools in CCSD
Published on Fri, Apr 4, 2014 (10:37 a.m.)The School Newsletter Company, a communication and alternative revenue resource for schools, has announced its expansion into Clark County, Nevada. The company has hired Mike & Gabby Catapano, local parents to expand into Clark County and work with schools in The Clark County School District. The company is already providing services to some of the largest school districts in the country in 12 other states.

"We help schools provide a parent communications tool that parents can now read on their smart phone or tablet…..which is where most parents spend their free time."
"We enable advertisers to reach a previously unreachable market, and create an alternative revenue source for schools to fund important programs and initiatives," added Mivshek.
Prior to joining The School Newsletter Company family, The Catapano's were involved in local real estate and real estate-related businesses in Clark County. They have two sons who attend CCSD schools.
"We are excited for Mike & Gabby as they begin to build long term relationships throughout CCSD for the benefit of the local schools," said Mivshek. "Their business savvy and experience in real estate and other businesses in the community make them the ideal community builders for this area."
Quickly becoming one of the best sources of alternative revenue for schools, The School Newsletter Company works with business owners, corporations, and organizations throughout the country to build relationships and assist schools by providing an alternative revenue stream through advertising. The newsletter is sent to parents email and others interested in news and communication from local schools. The service is offered free to schools and provides the school with a great parent communications tool.

To date, Eric Pulier has had a hand in the creation of well over 15 successful companies. Those ventures have gone ahead to make millions of dollars in profits and revenues. His resume reads like a fictional novel and here are some of the achievements and accolades, the American investor has earned over the years.
Bridge to the 21st Century
Eric Pulier was personally handpicked by Al Gore (the former US VP) and Bill Clinton (former US President) to chair the organization, Bridge to the 21st Century. The inaugural ceremony was a huge success drawing in thousands of spectators at the venue of the launch, the Mall at Washington DC. The attendees of the fair included high profile government representatives like senators and governors among other prominent personalities.
Live-Feed with Astronauts
The objective of the organization was to show how technology impacts our daily lives and how it will continue to shape civilization in the future. Eric's primary role was to raise funds needed to inspire entrepreneurs to come up with new thinking on how technology would improve areas like entertainment, healthcare, family, government, environment and even space exploration. One of the main talking points was when Eric and his team succeeded in organizing a live-feed event involving astronauts in space and crew on the ground.
Philanthropic Deeds
Eric Pulier is passionate about empowering disadvantaged people and communities. In a bid to improve the quality of life for kids living with the debilitating medical condition, Multiple Sclerosis, he commissioned the development of an app which helped these children to use computers. Eric is also a top donor to the charity organization, US Doctors for Africa. The front raises money to help battle diseases in Africa.
Affordable Computers
The philanthropist also works with the Clinton Global Initiative to provide affordable cloud-computing services to marginalized communities across the globe. Other noble causes he regularly supports are the ACE Foundation, XPRIZE, Painted Turtle and the Campaign for Free College Tuition organization.
Educational Background
In 1984, Eric Pulier graduated from the Teaneck High School. Then, he got admitted to doing a BA at the prestigious Harvard University. He completed his degree and attained top honors in 1988. The investor is well-versed in English and American Literature. He's also a trained programmer. Today, Eric lives with his family in L.A, California. He enjoys writing in his spare time and Eric on Facebook.

Exhibition at Camera Austria
ArtTerritories contributes to exhibition at Camera Austria
COMMUNITAS. Among Others.September 25, 2011 – January 1, 2012, Graz.
ArtTerritories: Ursula Biemann (CH), Shuruq Harb (PS)
With contributions by Rheim Alkadhi (IQ/US), Youmna Chlala (LB) Ganzeer (EG), Ahmad Hosni (EG), Michael Kennedy (US), Yazan Khalili (PS), Bilal Khbeiz (LB), Megan Hall (US), VJ Um Amel (EG/US).
The installation marks the first appearance of ArtTerritories in exhibition format.
COMMUNITAS. Among Others, curated by Camera Austria director Reinhard Braun, seeks to address the unimaginable social reconstruction that has seized our lives, turning the question of one's own social or cultural location into a more difficult task than ever before. The exhibition asks which values, convictions, traditions or revolutions, protests, resistances, subversions of all kinds put pressure on this social location or allow it to become imaginable nevertheless?
With the social and political restructuring of Arab societies, many initiatives for building strong civil networks and institutions are bound to emerge now. What is most needed at this point is the strengthening of direct dialogue among artists that will lay the grounds for a discourse on art and visual culture from the bottom up. ArtTerritories has been invited to present its community building endeavor in the exhibition. The wall installation represents this process in an arrangement of recorded skype interviews and photographic works by artists involved in ArtTerritories. In this nocturnal scene, the chatty quality of simultaneous voices speaking from the wall conveys the intense discursive activity going on at all times across the region. The interviews discuss the complex aesthetic concerns of five artists, also bringing to light some of the difficult questions permeating the identitary and political ruptures and negotiations in the region.

Just over two weeks from Election Day, Republicans are retreating from their hope that the White House scandal will drive huge gains for their party, while some newly confident Democrats are daring to predict that they will even pick up Congressional seats this year.
As a volatile election season enters its final stretch, strategists in both parties said this week that the environment for candidates seems to have returned to that of January, before the scandal broke: Most incumbents are still widely favored to win, and there are no overarching issues playing to one party's advantage.
Many strategists in both parties agree that, for now, it appears that Republicans, who hold a thin 11-seat majority in the House, will pick up no more than a dozen seats there, perhaps far fewer. These experts also expect that the Republicans will fall short of a net gain of five Senate seats, which would give the party the magic 60 votes needed to cut off a Democratic filibuster.
As recently as late August, after President Clinton admitted that he had had an inappropriate relationship with Monica S. Lewinsky and had misled the public about it, Republicans and Democrats alike boldly offered scenarios of how the matter could cost Democrats dozens of House seats and perhaps five Senate seats.
But now, instead of chastising Mr. Clinton, many Democratic candidates are waiting anxiously for results of a poll being conducted this weekend for the House campaign of former Representative Jay Inslee in Washington State. Mr. Inslee is the only Democrat broadcasting a television commercial that attacks his opponent for dragging out the impeachment inquiry. If the poll finds that Mr. Inslee is gaining support, other Democrats may run similar advertisements.Continue reading the main story
Still, as lawmakers who were stranded in Washington forging a budget deal headed back to their districts to campaign this weekend, there was great uncertainly -- and a feeling that more political gyrations lie ahead. Political professionals and candidates in both parties said they could not recall a in which where there was so much uncertainty over how to proceed so close to the election. The next few days will be critical as candidates scramble to buy their final waves of television commercials and put in place those messages for the all-important close of their campaigns.
''It's unprecedented in my experience how unsettled the national environment is two weeks from a national election,'' said Steve Elmendorf, the chief of staff to Representative Richard A. Gephardt, the minority leader. ''This thing could tip either way.''
Ed Brookover, who as political director of the National Republican Congressional Committee offers a more upbeat assessment than many in his party, said he expected Republicans to gain House seats ''in the 10-to-15-plus range.'' His forecast of gains, he said, was now ''not as big as in that last week in August but certainly bigger than we ever expected last June.''
Mr. Brookover's counterpart at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Paul Frick, said: ''I feel fairly optimistic. What we know right now is that the same races that we thought were in play in January are in play today. We haven't had many additions to our list of vulnerable incumbents.''
This is a significant shift -- at least in expectations. Even this late in the campaign, some Republican candidates were clinging to the idea that the Clinton scandal would be their ticket to Capitol Hill, said Tony Fabrizio, a Republican pollster.
''There is this fundamental belief that this alarm clock is going to go off and everybody is going to wake up and say, 'We really despise this guy Clinton, and anybody whose been around him we're throwing out,' '' Mr. Fabrizio said. ''It's just not going to happen.''
Republicans have been forced to reassess their prospects because voters have made clear that they want the nation to put the scandal behind it. And with the hardy economy and no galvanizing issues to arouse the electorate, the dynamic seems to favor incumbents.
Another factor that suggests a status quo outcome involves the realities of the field this year: There are relatively few races in which no incumbent is running, usually the most competitive contests. Prospects for a major shift have also diminished because there are well under 100 truly competitive House races this year, probably fewer than than 50.
''The fact that we're holding our own is a real break for us,'' said Jon Hutchens, a Democratic media consultant based in Denver whose company is handling about 40 races.
Some Democratic strategists are counseling their candidates to come up with messages that do not simply attack Republicans for trying to prolong an impeachment inquiry but meld that notion with the idea that by emphasizing the scandal Republicans are giving short shrift to important policy matters.
''All it takes is one to start a flood,'' Saul Shorr, Mr. Inslee's media consultant, said of the prospect that other Democrats may follow his candidate's lead and denounce the impeachment proceedings. ''Republican incumbents who are in marginal districts with suburban bases outside the South should be concerned.''
Rather than wait for the poll results on the Inslee race, another Democratic challenger, Ralph Neas, in suburban Maryland, began broadcasting a radio advertisement that castigates Representative Constance A. Morella for voting for an open-ended impeachment inquiry. Mr. Neas has an uphill battle and clearly is hoping that the move will enliven his campaign.
''I favor censuring the President but then getting on with the business of Government,'' Mr. Neas says in the advertisement. ''The facts don't justify an impeachment.''
Despite a resurgence of confidence, there is no reason for jubilation among Democrats -- only relief that things do not look worse. Few Democrats dare to boldly predict, as some did early this year, that their party will retake the House. And most strategists on both sides are still expecting Republican gains, but ones that are more modest than even seemed realistic a few weeks ago.
Mindful that the dynamics could shift yet again, Mr. Brookover said in an interview on Friday, ''I've never seen a climate where with 17 days to go there's not a clear picture about what you need to do to win.''
And Mr. Hutchens put it this way: ''Here we are, two weeks out, and no one has a clue either on an outcome or a solid handle on how you're going to influence that outcome. The vast majority of campaigns on both sides probably wish Clinton would go to Bulgaria for a couple of weeks -- at least it would all be less unpredictable.''
While most candidates are now reluctant to use public speeches or advertisements to try to turn the Lewinsky scandal to their advantage, Democrats and Republicans are planning to use the matter in more discreet mailings and telephone calls and other efforts to embolden their hard-core voters and get them to the polls.
The Democratic pitch is that Republicans are unfairly dragging out the impeachment inquiry; the Republican pitch is to link Democratic candidates to a President who they say has brought disgrace to the office and the nation.
The Democratic Party is about to launch a comprehensive radio campaign that will be concentrated in black and Hispanic areas. The advertisements will feature Hillary Rodham Clinton and Jesse Jackson, who will implore loyal Democrats to vote. ''The Republicans are hoping you won't bother to vote,'' Mrs. Clinton says in one commercial. ''I'm Hillary Clinton and I'm asking you to prove them wrong.''
With recent polls showing a backlash against Republicans pressing for the impeachment inquiry, the party's candidates are no longer raising the matter in their commercials. But some Republicans are still arguing that the scandal could play to their benefit, particularly in conservative districts in the South.
Significant gains for the Republicans on Election Day would make it harder for Democrats to turn back any move toward the impeachment of Mr. Clinton.
''Not to acknowledge it is to ignore the elephant sitting in the room,'' Mr. Brookover said. Like some Democrats, he said the best option for Republicans may be to talk about the scandal indirectly. ''It's a matter of putting it in people's face, 'This President has done something wrong,' or alluding to it, 'We need to deal with it so we can move on.' ''
Since the party that controls the White House traditionally loses seats in midterm elections, Democrats are already planning to declare victory even if they suffer moderate losses.
''My benchmark is the six-year-itch,'' said Jill Alper, political director of the Democratic National Committee. She laid down the party line early by citing the tradition of voters getting restless with a President and his party after six years. ''Losing less than 26 House seats and losing less than six Senate seats is a huge victory for this party,'' she said.Continue reading the main story

Actress Lakshmi Rai was injured during the shooting of the film Dham Dhoom. Jeeva, the director of 12 B and Unnale Unnale is directing the film Dham Dhoom and the major portions of the are being shot at the icy locations of the Russian capital Moscow. Jayam Ravi, Kangana Ranaut, and Lakshmi Rai have been taking part in the shooting for the past one month in Moscow.
Two days ago, a scene was being shot by the director in which Jayam Ravi is shown running with his lover Lakshmi Rai to escape from the villains. Ravi did his part well, but Lakshmi Rai required many takes. After the 9th take, Lakshmi got tired. When the director shouted 'action' for the shooting to begin, the actress again ran with Ravi on the icy surface and slipped into the nearby icy lake. The unit people rushed to the spot immediately, and took her out. After giving her first aid treatment and a brief rest, the unit continued with the shooting.
Lakshmi Rai shared this experience with the Kollywood press people yesterday after her return from the Moscow shoot.

Owen and Amelia are off to Grandma and Grandpa's house for the week! Last summer Owen went on his own for a few days, so he couldn't wait to go again this summer. And this time Amelia was ready to go too! This is her first time staying away from me and our house. But as it often goes, I was more worried and sad about the goodbye then either of them were. Thanks to their cute new suitcases they were packed and ready to go, tons of hugs and kisses, and they then were off. Yes, I shed a tear or two!
We picked up these suitcases at Target last week, and I just had to snap a few pictures. They were each so happy and proud to have their very own. In the past I've just packed all of our things into 2-3 suitcases, but from now on I'm pretty sure everyone will be traveling with their own!!
We're on Day 1 and I'm already missing them like crazy. And Charlotte had to fall asleep with us last night because she's so used to having Amelia in her room. But I'm planning on enjoying my time with just Charlotte and baby Emmy. Charlotte and I have some special things planned! And I'm so happy that Owen and Amelia are not only having the bonding time with Grandma and Grandpa, but with each other too. They have such a sweet relationship, the original two! Amelia just ADORES Owen and thinks he's hilarious…Owen will do anything to make her laugh, and he really looks out for her!
Their suitcases are from the Crckt line at Target. Have you checked out this line yet?? I hadn't until we went hunting for these suitcases. But oh my, SUCH CUTE STUFF. Target, like always, is killing it! Below is a little round-up of some other things from this line. Suitcases, backpacks, lunch boxes, water bottles…just in time for back to school!
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12

"They crossed the line. What they said is deplorable," Entercom spokesman Kevin Geary told the Track after the radio chain dumped California-based syndicated morning show Rob, Arnie and Dawn off its KRXQ 98 Rock signal.
Asked when the trio would return, Geary said, "I don't know."

Also, I looked at my hardware and it says Ath5895H despite 'lscpi' saying, AR9285. And 'lsmod' shows 'ath9k' module in use. How odd.]]>
Tells me that it is your wireless hardware. I would put my money on the antenna connection.
Did the laptop ever take a tumble? Ever open the panels and fiddle around? How hot does it get?
I would look to see if you can get access to that. I know my laptop has an access panel on the bottom: for the wireless, along with the RAM slots, and keyboard.
Not sure if you covered connecting from different spots in the room...
Last couple things you could check on the software side is: to verify from the Broadcom that dhcp addressing starts 192.168.2.x (the system can assign itself an ip address w/o a valid connection).
Install another OS, that could answer the driver question.
It's a shame you don't have access to the router (or someone who does). That would help in cross-checking some things...
Let us know if you figure it out what it really is.]]>
Here's what 'ip route' has to say when Networkmanager is running:
default via 192.168.2.1 dev wlan0 proto static
192.168.2.0/24 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.2.102 metric 2
Here's what it says when netcfg is running:
default via 192.168.2.1 dev wlan0 metric 303
192.168.2.0/24 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.2.102 metric 303
Sooo... look pretty normal, or what. Neither reflects a functioning connection though.
Chipset is AR9285. That other number I mentioned is the wired controller.
'ip link set wlan0 up' works, so I don't think its an RFKILL issue
iwlist wlan0 scan just returns 'No scan results' - disheartening
after manually connecting with 'iwconfig wlan essid "barry white" key XXXXXXXXXXXXX' iwconfig says ESSID:"barry white" bus Access Point: Not-Associated
This is worse than Networkmanager, which at least thought it had associated with the routers MAC address.
And running dhcpcd just times out waiting for carrier...
oh lord. I'm only in this apt. another 3 weeks, I'm hoping my next will have a router I can actually look at. I'm at the mercy of others here, I can' t touch the router... I feel like I'm at wits end... I can use windows in the interim, and for arch, I have this lovely HP netbook. With a beautiful broadcom wireless chip that just works... hehe.
thanks for the help guys... but don't worry about this too much. It'll work out, somehome, with time. (and a new WPA enabled router)]]>
But when I give the 'iwconfig wlan0 essid "myessid" key MYHEXKEY' it -seems- to associate itself with the router. But still no browsing ze internets.
Did you run dhcpd after that? succesfully? what ewaller said + check resolv.conf, maybe put google's nameservers in there.]]>
default via 192.168.1.1 dev wlan0 metric 303
192.168.1.0/26 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.58 metric 303
'ip link set wlan0 up' should always work unless it's already up or RFKILL is set either from software or hardware 'rfkill list'
As long as the wireless is on, 'iwlist wlan0 scan' should pick up something. Even if you're associated to a router, it will return with that router's info.
As to iwconfig/ifconfig: Everything appears normal aside from 'Tx excessive retries' and 'scopeid 0x20<link>' (I have 'scopeid 0x10<host>'). That may be irrelevant though.
Other points I forgot before:
-Access to router-side stats
-Firewall configurations on either side
I'm not familiar with 'tcp windows' but the clues point in that general direction: the devices _seem_ to see each other, but data is not being allowed through.
Is there another AP you can test?
Also, my Atheros chipset is AR9285. So yours being newer wouldn't rule out a driver issue. Although I've been using -ARCH kernels 3.2.1, 3.2.2, and my own custom kernels without complaint.]]>
2. tried my od netcfg profile which worked before I switched to wicd and then networkmanager (which also worked). Netcfg also doesn 't work. meh.
here's iwconfigs output:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"barry white"

The router is a siemens gigaset SE551, router only, no modem.
thanks for any help.]]>
It would be helpful if we knew more about the router as well (make/model, router-only or modem/router combo).
[WEP only keeps the honest people honest. Better than nothing, though.]]]>
off-topic: I'm again baffled by how many people still use wep. Guys, wep can be hacked in under a minute. It doesn't offer any real protection.]]>
--I changed something about tcp windows somewhere that I read about as a possible somution to a similar problem, I hope that change isn't preventing this from working...?
I guess I could downgrade to kernel 3.2.1 or so, it appears that was the last version that functioned well with the atheros driver. But that would mean I0d have to downgrade the whole system, I imagine, which might be a giant pain? Never done that. And for all I know I've cleared the cache since then..
anything else I could try??]]>
options atk9k nohwcrypt=1
that is to say, I can ping localhost and my own ip address, trying to ping the router returns 'Do you want to ping broadcast? Then -b', and trying to ping anything else gives me 'Destination Host Unreachable'. So whats goin on here. It's an Atheros 9825 (I think.. it worked before...) wifi chip, btw. I suspect this is a kernel issue, but am hoping there's some way to fix it. I need my wifi!! Sorry I can't post better logs, the machine in question is off the net...

Still, the amount of hype even this 'milestone' has generated highlights the Games' impact. And if you think the last couple of days have been intense, wait until July: by then, the country will be in an Olympic frenzy.
The last month has highlighted how different sports approach the final run-in.
I recently spoke to the 38 British swimmers who had qualified from the national trials at the Olympic Aquatics Centre. I handed out their selection letters and listened as they were taken through the key dates, right down to where they would have their last supper before heading into the Olympic Village.
Every day from now until the Games was mapped out with everything focused on them performing and producing a personal best at the Olympics.
I wasn't lucky enough to prepare for a home Games, but being with the swimmers hammered home the pressures being exerted on these guys as the countdown gathers pace.
Adverts featuring our champions are already hitting screens and billboards so if you want to drink, shave, shower and surf the web like an Olympian you're in luck. If, on the other hand, you'd rather bury your head and focus on training until July 27 there is a serious danger that you'll emerge like a rabbit in the headlights.
At least the spotlight will be shared among so many athletes. When I was training for the 2000 Games it was about this time of year that media interest picked up. For three years there had been two blokes on the river bank, our coach and the guy who walked his dog and gave us a wave every morning. Then, suddenly, we were bombarded.
It had dawned on the press that the grumpy guy who rowed in front of me – you might know him as Sir Steve Redgrave – was not only going for his fifth gold medal but, along with Matthew Pinsent, was our only current Olympic champion in any sport.
So, if you wanted to talk to the two reigning gold medallists you had to come and watch four blokes rowing in a boat. It made me appreciate the outside pressure that would be on us at Games time and that silver would be a total failure.
This time we have at least 18 Olympic champions from Beijing who will share the media attention and be competing in London. As there are only '16 days of glory' there won't be a day without one of them competing.
Sir Chris Hoy, Rebecca Adlington, Ben Ainslie, Brad Wiggins, Victoria Pendleton, Christine Ohuruogu; the list goes on and that doesn't include the marquee names that have yet to win one: Paula Radcliffe, Tom Daley, Mark Cavendish, even Zara Phillips.
Champion or not, the pressure and expectation both internal and external will be heightened at a home Olympics. Over the next three months the athletes and coaches have to find a way of ensuring they embrace and use that expectation rather than letting it become a burden.
Between now and when our athletes race, there will be things they can control and plan for and things they can't but have to cope with – like the idiotic protester during this year's Boat Race.
At the Atlanta Olympics, when the first week passed without Team GB winning a single gold medal, the other British athletes either froze under the increased pressure or had an excuse to fail. But other people underperforming doesn't mean you will.
Conversely, you can draw inspiration from fellow team-mates – and even other sports. Warming up for our final in Sydney we watched Ed Coode and Greg Searle race past in the final of the coxless pairs.
They were a long way ahead at halfway but blew it and ended up coming fourth. As uncomfortable as it was, we drew strength from witnessing their despair at the finish. It was proof that no matter how much it hurt during the race it wouldn't be as bad as the pain of losing.
The flip side to that came four years later in Athens. The night before our coxless fours final Chris Hoy was cycling in the final of the men's kilo. Chris had watched the three previous athletes break the Olympic record and knew that in order to win gold, he had to break it as well.
That's exactly what he did and three of us were crying uncontrollably after he'd won. Only Matthew Pinsent wasn't: as it turned out, he was saving his tears for the podium.
Ultimately, however, it's your performances which will be decisive. As rowers, our ambition was to arrive at the Olympics making our opposition believe they were racing for silver.
In 2000 we nearly achieved that, until we lost our last race before the Olympics and our opponents' belief was resurrected.
We had been guilty of looking beyond the final race to the Games themselves but, in hindsight, that slap in the face proved that nobody – especially your opposition – is going to hand you an Olympic gold medal. Without that reminder we may not have won.
Either way, it will be a nervous time and our team should not believe things will be easier once they get in the Olympic Village.
In 2000, I was nervously pushing porridge around a bowl at 4am on finals day when I heard "Good luck tomorrow" being shouted drunkenly across the food hall by one of the swimmers.
His racing done, he'd clearly been enjoying the delights of Sydney and still thought it was the same day as when he went out.
I'm sure the 2012 Team GB athletes won't have to put up with anything like that this time.

Seattle-area Lifestyle Photographer
I'm Mandy. I'm a wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend. I like books, Starbucks, dance, the smell of hyacinth, food blogs and overly-organized work spaces (though mine are not necessarily so). I'm a graduate of Washington State University, where I edited The Chinook Yearbook for three years alongside my best friend, counseled new students during summer orientation programs, performed with the Crimson Company Show Choir and met my husband. For those reasons and many more, I love WSU. My life revolves around my family – my husband, my daughter, my son, my Golden Retriever. I am in love with my life and the people in it.
I take pictures of everything – couples in love, newborns, big families, soon-to-be mothers, best friends, graduating seniors, births, brides and grooms, animals, food, random objects on the street. I've carried a camera with me since grade school when my dance friend and I would arrange our ballet shoes in a pile with pearl necklaces, roses and sheet music to make artistic still life scenes for our own ballet "calendars."
It was only after the birth of my daughter that I realized I could take a life-long hobby and turn it into something more. Something that could affect other people. I started to learn about my camera. My first DSLR was a Nikon D50; I shot for a few years with a Nikon D300s and now I can't live without my D700 and D800 paired with a 24mm f/1.4, 35mm f/1.4, 50mm f/1.4, 85mm f/1.8 and 105mm f/2.8. I'm inspired by a handful of amazing photographers and the work they share on their blogs. I read Understanding Exposure by Brian Peterson. I clicked the shutter again and again and again until I knew how to work that camera with my eyes shut and my hands tied behind my back (don't worry, it's just an expression, I don't shoot that way). After my friends and family let me shove my camera in their faces and take their pictures over and over again for months, I built up my portfolio and took the plunge – Amanda Kay Photography got its official business license in May 2009.

You may not know it, but I'm currently out-of-town. Every August, my employer sends me and a couple of others to a neighboring city (about 3.5 hours away) for some annual training on coming changes in the insurance industry. (Not only do I do agricultural loan analysis, but I'm also a licensed insurance agent.)
The drives out there and back are pretty boring, my co-workers are all much older than me and we don't have much in common, so I usually end up catching up on reading my latest novel or dozing off to sleep here and there.
The training sessions are boring and it can be hard to stay awake. In fact last year I may have dozed off for a minute or two during the Friday morning session, oops!
So, why do I love business trips?
The best part about business trips is that they give me an excuse to get out-of-town for a day or two at little to no expense to me! The gas is paid for, the food is paid for, the evening entertainment is usually paid for, I get paid my regular wage for the days I'm gone and I don't have to be in the office, SCORE!
Once we get out there and get checked in to our hotel and training conference, we get to go down to a big street mall about one block away and eat at a fun new restaurant for lunch. I usually let my co-workers pick since I'm the low man on the totem pole, at least out of the group that goes to the training, but I've never had to eat anywhere awful, plus it doesn't cost me anything.
After lunch, we head back for the afternoon training session, which lasts until about 5:00 pm. Next we get changed into some more comfortable clothes and head out to a sports bar for supper, which is on the way to the MLB baseball game we attend every year with everyone from the whole conference. None of these activities cost me anything, it only costs me if I decide to get a drink or snack during the game, but usually my boss pays for that too!
Once the game is over, we walk back to the hotel and stop every so often to get a drink at the bars, which are all over the area. (Ok, ok, we stop at nearly all the bars on the way back!) Usually someone from the insurance provider company hosting the training is in most of the bars we stop at, so our drinks are usually free there too. Sometimes we stop and get cheesecake at The Cheesecake Factory!
Usually I'm thoroughly smashed by the time I get back to the hotel, so I pass out in bed after eating a snack. Friday morning everyone is tired and slightly hung-over, so we start out the day with a sugary breakfast and lots of coffee. After the session is over we pack up, jump in the car and stop at the edge of town on our way home to have some lunch. We plan things just right so we get back home around 5:00 pm so now it's the weekend.
Ahh bliss! If only every "work" week were like this (but maybe without so much drinking…)!
This year, my BFF and her hubby are coming out for a visit and will probably be getting to town only a couple hours after me tonight. I can't wait to see what kind of frugal fun we have this weekend!
Do you have any big weekend plans?

The present invention relates to the field of implantable medical devices such as stents, which incorporate markers for increasing visibility during a procedure.
Intraluminal medical devices, such as stents, can be implanted into a body lumen during a non-invasive clinical procedure, to reinforce, support, repair or otherwise enhance the performance of the lumen. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), for example, is a procedure used to increase the blood flow through a coronary artery, for example, at a location where the artery is damaged or is susceptible to collapse. The stent, once in place, reinforces that portion of the artery allowing normal blood flow to occur through the artery.
One type of stent which is often used for implantation in arteries and other body lumens is a cylindrical stent which can be radially expanded from a first smaller diameter to a second larger diameter. Such radially expandable stents can be inserted into the artery in the smaller diameter state via the use of a stent delivery device and fed internally through the arterial pathways of the patient until the unexpanded stent is located where desired.
Such radially expandable stents are available in both self-expanding and in balloon-expandable varieties. Once the stent is at the desired location, the stent may be expanded using an appropriate expansion mechanism depending on the type of stent employed.
Self-expanding stents may be formed from a shape memory metallic and/or super-elastic material such as nickel-titanium alloy or nitinol. Such materials have two distinct solid phases. These phases are a high yield strength austenite phase and a lower yield strength martensite phase.
Shape memory characteristics are imparted to the metal by heating the metal at a temperature above which the transformation from the martensite phase to the austenite phase is complete, or the austenite phase is stable, i.e. the Af temperature. The shape of the metal during this heat treatment is the shape which will be remembered.
The heat treated metal is cooled or chilled to a temperature at which the martensite phase is stable, or the metal is transformed from the austenite phase to the martensite phase. Thus, the metal can be selectively transformed between the austenite phase and the martensite phase by altering the temperature of the shape memory metal. This allows stents formed of shape memory metals, for example, to be manipulated such that the stent is in the low yield strength martensite phase when chilled to a temperature below body temperature and to be in the high yield strength austenite phase when the stent is at body.
The metal in the martensite phase is easily plastically deformed to facilitate entry into a patient's body with subsequent heating of the metal in the deformed martensite phase to a temperature above which the martensite phase is stable, therefore transforming the metal the austenite phase wherein the metal reverts to its original shape when unrestrained. If restrained, the metal will remain martensitic until the restraint is removed.
When stress is applied to a shape memory metal which exhibits superelastic characteristics, at a temperature above that at which the austenite phase is stable, i.e. the temperature at which transformation from the martensite phase to the austenite phase is complete, the specimen deforms elastically until it reaches a particular stress level where the shape memory metal then undergoes a stress-induced phase transformation from the austenite phase to the martensite phase
Additionally, when such shape memory alloys are stressed beyond their yield strength while in the martensite phase, not to exceed certain maximum amounts of strain, the alloy has a "memory" of its shape before its yield strength in the martensite phase was exceeded so that when the alloy is heated and transformed into its austenite phase it returns to the shape it exhibited before it was plastically deformed in the martensite phase.
For radially expandable surgical stents, this shape memory has been used to collapse the stent to a small diameter when in its martensite phase where it can be deformed relatively easy, and then heat the stent up to body temperature and transform the stent into its austenite phase where it radially expands back to its original expanded diameter and exhibits a desired strength and size for supporting walls of the body lumen in which it is implanted. As the temperature is increased to its austenite condition, it reverts to its original shape using relatively high force.
Thus, the relatively high yield strength of the shape memory alloy stent in its austenite phase provides beneficial characteristics for supporting the body lumen while the martensite phase for the shape memory alloy stent is utilized to allow the stent to be easily radially contracted and deformed during implantation of the stent.
These shape memory alloys, however, are not highly radiopaque. For accurate positioning in a body lumen during a clinical procedure, it is desirable to be able to visualize the stent using imaging techniques such as fluoroscopy, for example.
One method of achieving radiopacity is to attach markers to the stent. For example, see U.S. Pat. No. 6,863,685, the entire content of which is incorporated by reference herein. Some attachment methods can lead to undesirable stress on the stent structure.
The information described above is not intended to constitute an admission that such information referred to herein is "prior art" with respect to this invention.
All US patents and applications and all other published documents mentioned anywhere in this application are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
Without limiting the scope of the invention a brief summary of some of the claimed embodiments of the invention is set forth below. Additional details of the summarized embodiments of the invention and/or additional embodiments of the invention may be found in the Detailed Description of the Invention below.
A brief abstract of the technical disclosure in the specification is provided as well only for the purposes of complying with 37 C.F.R. 1.72. The abstract is not intended to be used for interpreting the scope of the claims.
The present invention relates to a method of attaching radiopaque markers to an intraluminal medical device formed from metals or metal alloys, and to the intraluminal medical devices formed thereby.
In one aspect, the invention is directed to an intraluminal medical device corresponding to a substantially tubular frame having first and second open ends, a first diameter for insertion into a body lumen, and a second deployed diameter once positioned in the body lumen.
The intraluminal medical device further includes at least one cavity defined by the frame, the cavity having at least one corresponding marker element disposed therein.
In some embodiments, the intraluminal medical device is formed from a superelastic alloy such as a nickel-titanium alloy.
In specific embodiments, marker material is swaged into cavities located at the ends of the intraluminal medical device. As used herein, the term "cavity" shall include both recessed portions and through-holes.
In specific embodiments, the intraluminal medical device is a stent.
In one aspect, the present invention relates to a method of attaching radiopaque marker elements to an intraluminal medical device, the method including the steps of providing an intraluminal medical device frame, the frame having first and second ends, the frame further having at least one cavity, the cavity defined by the frame, the at least one cavity for receiving a corresponding marker element, providing at least one marker element, swaging the at least one marker element into the at least one cavity by applying a first force to the frame defining the cavity and to the marker element, and applying a second force to the at least one marker element while maintaining the position of the frame defining the at least one cavity.
In one embodiment, the first force applied to the frame is greater than about 90 pounds, the second force applied to the marker element is less than about 75 pounds and the frame and the marker element are thermally conditioned at a temperature that is greater than about 200° C.
The method according to the present invention decreases the possibility of stress and cracking in the cavity in which the radiopaque marker is disposed during the swaging steps.
These and other aspects, embodiments and advantages of the present invention will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art upon review of the Detailed Description and Claims to follow.
While this invention may be embodied in many different forms, there are described in detail herein specific embodiments of the invention. This description is an exemplification of the principles of the invention and is not intended to limit the invention to the particular embodiments illustrated.
All published documents, including all US patent documents, mentioned anywhere in this application are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Any copending patent applications, mentioned anywhere in this application are also hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
Depicted in the figures are various aspects of the invention. Elements depicted in one figure may be combined with, and/or substituted for, elements depicted in another figure as desired.
The present invention relates to a method of attaching radiopaque marker elements to corresponding cavities defined by the frame of an intraluminal medical device which is formed of shape memory metals. Radiopaque material is swaged into cavities of the device by applying a first force both to the frame of the intraluminal medical device defining the cavity and to the radiopaque material and then applying a second force to the radiopaque material alone while keeping the frame defining the cavity stationary.
Application of the first and second force expands the shape memory metal of the frame which defines the cavity in to a stress induced martensite condition.
The method may further include the step of applying heat to the swaged cavity to induce shape recovery and reduces the strain in the shape memory frame at swage portion of the intraluminal medical device which is generated during application of the first and second force during swaging. Shape recovery relieves excess strain in the shape memory metal and generates additional contact force between the marker element and stent frame defining the cavity into which the marker element is swaged.
Turning now to the figures,
The marker element 25 corresponding to the shape of the inner diameter 22 of the housing 20 is then inserted into housing 20. This is shown in a view similar to that shown in
A first swaging force is applied to both the marker element 25 and the housing 20. This step brings the profile of the marker element 25 and the housing 20 equal. The first swaging step is represented by
While the marker illustrated in
The first and second forces applied consecutively to the marker element/housing and marker element alone, induce expansion of the shape memory metal or metal alloy housing, into a stress induced martensite condition.
One or both of the first and second swaging steps may be conducted at temperatures which are less than ambient, as well as at temperatures which are greater than ambient.
Inner diameter 22 of housing 20 may be suitably tapered during formation which can be conducted by laser cutting, for example, from tubing. The taper, during application of force to the marker element 25, may become more deformed than other parts of the inner diameter 22 of the housing 20.
This taper, during the force application to marker, becomes more deformed than other areas of the loop. Although the stress corresponding to this increased strain provides additional contact force, it is also the site prone to crack or fracture when exposed to high frequency, low alternating strain levels (ultrasonics). An application of heat to the swaged loop reduces the mean strain in the shape memory metal or metal alloy generated during the swaging steps. An increase in temperature (within a suitable range) causes an increase in the shape memory metal or metal alloy (such as NiTi) stress, which results in an increased contractile hoop force exerted on the marker, resulting in a re-shaped marker and a lower mean strain for the shape memory metal or shape memory metal alloy.
Application of heat induces shape recovery which relieves both the excess strain in the shape memory metal or metal alloy, as well as generating additional contact force between the marker element 25 and the housing 20. Thus, this shape recovery can help to reduce the residual strain in the housing 20 generated during the swaging process. Furthermore, recoil of marker element 50 after unloading of the first initial force is eliminated by loading the marker material during the shape recovery process of the shape memory housing 20.
Marker element 25 may be formed from any suitable radiopaque material including, but not limited to, niobium, tantalum, platinum, gold, tungsten, etc. and alloys thereof.
Stent 10 with integral housings, 20, may be formed from any suitable shape memory metal of alloy such as nickel-titanium alloy, for example, nitinol.
In at least one embodiment a sample frame work was supplied with a radiopaque marker element according to the method described as illustrated by the following example.
Nominal hole=0.0200 inches
Least material condition (LMC)=+0.0004 inches
Maximum material condition (MMC)=−0.0004″
Marker element=0.0187″×0.0070″ (Tantalum)
Nitinol nickel-titanium alloy impression diameter=0.024″
Center swage diameter=0.017″
First force during swage (Nitinol impression force)=95 pounds
Center swage force=53 pounds with a 12 pound paddle hold down force
Thermal conditioning was conducted at 250° C. for 300 seconds in drywell.
A range of various temperatures and times were evaluated in characterizing the shape recovery process. Confirmation of the shape recovery effects were demonstrated through dimensional change of paddle before and after thermal conditioning as well as performance improvements in the force required to dislodge the marker from paddle and fracture resistance through high frequency low alternating strains (ultrasonic testing).
Temperatures sufficient to induce a martensite to austenite phase change in the deformed ring promoted the shape recovery process. Temperatures approaching stent shape setting parameters at about 500° C., no longer showed benefits of shape recover process with respect to marker securement. In some cases, the maximum temperature use range may be limited to the point in which marker material begins to form oxides if thermally treated in ambient air. In this example, a nitinol stent was employed with a tantalum marker element. Some materials are susceptible to oxide formation. For example, in the case of tantalum, oxides began to form at about 300° C. For some situations, oxide formation may be acceptable. However, if so desired, further steps can be taken to avoid oxide formation. Some materials are not susceptible to oxide formation.
The marker volume remained constant for this analysis. The data points are an average of 3 samples measuring the paddle hole distance in the longitudinal direction as measured by toolscope from the housing inner diameter (ID). The deformation line represents the increase in distance from non-swaged to fully swaged sample. The recovery line represents the distance reduced by adding a thermal conditioning step. The gap between the lines represents the strain reduction in the paddle resulting from the thermal shape recovery. Ultrasonic testing resulted in a 10% fracture rate prior to thermal condition implementation. DOE testing resulted in no fractures in 270 swaged loops.
Thermal conditioning increased marker securement and reduced the occurrence of cracks post ultrasonics as can be seen by
The above disclosure is intended to be illustrative and not exhaustive. This description will suggest many variations and alternatives to one of ordinary skill in this art. The various elements shown in the individual figures and described above may be combined or modified for combination as desired. All these alternatives and variations are intended to be included within the scope of the claims where the term "comprising" means "including, but not limited to".

Money demand during hyperinflation and stabilization: Bulgaria, 1991-2000
The demand for money in Bulgaria is estimated over a ten-year period (1991-2000) of high inflation and inflation uncertainty. The paper distinguishes between three well-defined sub-periods: high, variable, but not systematically accelerating inflation from 1991 until April 1996; the near-hyperinflation period from May 1996 to February 1997; and the subsequent stabilization after the adoption of a currency board. The empirical analysis utilizes a standard methodology of cointegration and error correction. The functional determinants of the demand for money change during the different sub-periods. During the hyperinflation episode, Cagan's model is employed.

I have always had a wonderful experience with The Head Shop Salon. They are professional and the staff is very friendly and welcoming.
This place reminded me of an old movie. People crowded into the booth next to me gossiping the whole time. I asked for a trim, he took off 4" before I could say anything and then asked if I had layers!! YES I HAD layers!! He gave me the haircut I had when I was 12! Very disappointed! I don't even want to go in public!
The staff at Head Shop Salon and Day Spa are always very timely. They are very good with appointments.
I always receive good value for the money I spend at The Head Shop Salon And Day Spa. I would recommend this beauty salon to friends and family.
My experience at The Head Shop Salon and Day Spa is always relaxing and professional. I am always pleased with my haircut, massage and pedicure.
I love coming to The Head Shop Salon And Day Spa. I always leave delighted with my haircut, massage or pedicure.
I have a wonderful experience every time at The Head Shop Salon And Day Spa. Very friendly and professional.
No, I would not recommend this salon. Tried it out a couple of times and will never go back. I was not happy with the highlight, and made to feel like it was perfectly fine when it obviously was not. I let Heather bully me out of a do-over. I guess I should take most of the blame for not asking to speak with a manager and requesting a refund. For those of you who "Rave" about the Headshop, I have to wonder...
I have been coming to The Head Shops Salon & Day Spa forever. I was coming here ever since they were at their old location and I love it. Great staff that do an amazing job.
Been going to the Head Shop since I can remember. Always left very happy with the results. I have yet to see an employee that is not caring. I will most definitely recommend this salon to my family and friends!
