This application is a divisional of co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/385,085, filed Mar. 21, 2006, which claims benefit of U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 60/663,857, filed Mar. 21, 2005. Each of the aforementioned related patent applications is herein incorporated by reference.
Intravenous (IV) fluid warming devices are known that heat an IV fluid prior to introducing the fluid into a patient. Warmed IV fluids that are administered at very low flow rates can cool as they flow down the IV tubing to the patient. Often this heat loss is ignored. One prior art approach has been to simply heat the fluid to 41� C. to try to overcome the loss for all flow rates.
In another aspect of fluid warming, most IV fluid warmers heat fluid through flexible plastic walls. Because these walls are inefficient in transferring heat, heaters are exposed to both sides of the disposable set. This requires inserting the disposable set into a slot or hinged clam shell configuration. Both of these designs do not allow the user to see the fluid passing through the heat exchanger. As these plastic walls are flexible, the pressure necessary for good heat transfer cannot be guaranteed as it is supplied only by the gravitational force of the IV fluid bag height. Cleaning of configurations with slots is difficult and typically requires special tools or even disassembly, such as in the case of blood spills.
One type of exemplary medical fluid warming system is described in US 2005-0008354. In this device, fluid passes along a generally serpentine fluid flow path through a removable/disposable heat exchange body. The heat exchange body is in thermal contact with a resistive film heater via thermally conductive layers interposed between the heat exchange body and the heater. Temperature sensors are provided that sense the temperature of the heat exchange body and of the heater.
In one aspect of the present invention, a fluid warming system includes a pair of sliding covers that maintains a removable heat exchange body in place in heat exchange communication with a heater assembly. The heat exchange body is pressed in place by the covers in the closed position to guarantee good thermal conductivity. Fluid passing through the heat exchange body remains visible to the user. The heat exchange body is easily inserted and removed by sliding the covers to a open position. The moving covers can double as user input mechanisms by turning the power on and off and muting alarms. The covers do not cover any indicators present on the heat exchange body. The covers can be readily removed for cleaning, and the covers can be used as a mounting mechanism.
In another aspect of the present invention, power to the heater can be increased or decreased to adjust the fluid temperature to ensure that the fluid is at an appropriate temperature when it reaches the patient.
The invention will be more fully understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
A fluid warming device 10 according to the present invention is illustrated in
The removable heat exchange body 18 and the heating assembly 20 are illustrated schematically in
The heater assembly 20 is affixed within the main body 14 of the housing 12. The heater assembly includes a heater 26 and one or more thermally conductive layers 28, 30 interposed between the disposable set and the heater. Preferably, the heater is an electrically powered resistive thin film heater. A power line 32 to the heater from a suitable power source is provided. Alternatively, the device may include a battery compartment or a connection to a battery pack, for example, for portable operation. Temperature sensors 34, 36 are provided that sense the temperature of the disposable set and of the heater. See, for example, US Patent Pub. No. 2005-0008354. The thermally conductive layers also electrically insulate the disposable set from the resistive heater. One thermally conductive layer 28 may suitably comprise a phase transition material, and the other thermally conductive layer 30 may suitably comprise a material such as a graphite to optimize heat transfer between the heater and the disposable set. See, for example, US Patent Pub. No. 2005-0008354. It will be appreciated that other or further thermally conductive layers may be provided. The main body 14 includes a compartment 38 on one side to receive the disposable set 18 in contact with an exposed surface 40 of the uppermost thermally conductive layer 30.
As noted above, the heat exchange body or disposable or disposable set 18 is removable from the housing. The disposable set can be removed from the main body of the housing by sliding the two opposed sliding covers outwardly in opposite directions. In this manner, the removable set can be lifted out of the housing with the IV tubing still attached to the input and output connectors, without breaking the fluid path. Finger cutouts 42 may be provided for ease of grasping the disposable set in the main body.
Any suitable sliding mechanism to allow the covers to move axially into the closed position can be provided. In the embodiment shown, the main body 14 of the housing includes protruding longitudinal tracks 46 along two opposed longitudinal outer wall surfaces of the main body. See
Also, the covers 16 do not block the view of the bulk of the mid portion of the disposable set 18, allowing the operator to view the fluid passing through the disposable set. The disposable set is also keyed to the main body 14 in any suitable manner so that it fits within the compartment in the correct orientation. For example, one end 47 of the disposable set may be rounded to fit within an correspondingly rounded portion 49 of the compartment 38. The disposable set may include an arrow 50 thereon to provide an indication of the direction of flow, so that the disposable set is inserted in the housing in the correct orientation. The covers do not block this arrow. Also, the main body preferably includes indicator lights, such as LEDs, thereon. For example, one LED 52 may provide an indication of temperature at the output port, and another LED 54 may provide an indication that the heater is connected to the power source. The covers do not block these indicator lights either.
In one embodiment, the covers 16 can be maintained in two positions on the main body or can be removed fully from the main body. While on the main body, the covers can be in a fully closed position or an open position. The covers can include magnets or Hall Effect devices or other proximity sensors that interface with a corresponding component within the main body to determine the positions of the covers and cause operation of any appropriate switches. In a further embodiment, the covers can be maintained in a third or intermediate, half closed, position on the main body, described further below.
More particularly, in the fully closed position, (see
Any suitable latching or retaining mechanism can be provided to retain the covers in the desired positions relative to the main body. For example, as shown in
Referring to
In another aspect of the present invention, power to the heater can be increased or decreased to adjust the fluid temperature to ensure that the fluid is at an appropriate temperature when it reaches the patient. More particularly, some IV fluids that have been warmed are administered at very low flow rates. These fluids cool as they travel down the IV tubing to the patient. The greater the difference between ambient temperature and the fluid temperature, the greater the radiated heat losses from the IV tubing.
A suitable controller is provided to perform the calculations and communicate with the heater to make the desired adjustments. Heater power is determined by the difference between a target temperature (typically in the range of 39 to 41� C.), and the actual fluid temperature.
Referring to
Then, the controller calculates the temperature loss of the IV tubing to the environment (step 104). First, the difference between the fluid target temperature and the ambient temperature is determined. The temperature loss is equal to this temperature difference multiplied by the radiation loss and divided by the heater power. The ambient temperature is measured by a suitable sensor located within the warming device in close contact with the housing, which is very close to ambient temperature. The radiation loss is a constant that is derived from experimentation with various lengths of the IV tubing and various flow rates. See
Next, at step 106, the controller determines if the IV tubing loss is greater than 1� C. Also at step 106, the controller also determines if the total drop along the IV tubing and across the heat exchanger is greater than a drop limit. The drop limit is the maximum temperature that the fluid can be artificially raised so that the allowable surface temperature on the heat exchanger is not exceeded, for example, no greater than 3� C. from the desired target temperature. If the answer at step 106 is Yes, the actual fluid temperature is calculated at step 108 as the measured fluid output temperature minus the drop limit. If the answer at step 106 is No, the actual fluid temperature is calculated at step 110 as the fluid output temperature in the IV tubing drop minus the IV tubing drop (from step 102) minus the heat exchanger drop (from step 104). Using the calculated value of the actual temperature, heater power is adjusted appropriately.
In this manner, heat loss along the IV tubing can be more efficiently controlled The system allows the fluid warming device to be located a bit farther from the infusion site and still deliver normothermic fluid.
The invention is not to be limited by what has been particularly shown and described, except as indicated by the appended claims.

Jackals Break Out For Win in Florida
ESTERO, Fla. - The Elmira Jackals picked up their first regular season win in the state of Florida since December of 2011 with a 6-5 win over the Florida Everblades on Friday night. The win improved the Jackals' record to 3-5-0 on the season.
Click here for tonight's box score.
Scoring came at a break-neck pace in the first period, and when the dust finally settled the Jackals were left standing with a one-goal lead. Carl Nielsen began the fireworks with his first pro goal, shorthanded, at the 6:25 mark. It was the fourth game in a row the Jackals surrendered the first goal, but they didn't wilt under the early deficit. Danny New and Kyle Bushee scored their first goals of the season 54 seconds apart to put Elmira in the lead for the first time. Danny Hobbs assisted on each goal to begin his huge night. Florida's Matt Pistilli tied the game again 1:14 after Bushee's goal, but Elmira retook the lead at 12;49 when Maxim Lamarche netted his first pro goal. The final volley of scores came within the final minute on a Florida power play goal by Mike Little (19:00) and an even-strength marker by Hobbs (19:27)
The second period belonged to the Jackals, despite Florida changing goalies to try to change momentum. Trevor Cann started and gave up four goals on 11 shots. Jesse Deckert came on in relief and gave up a goal on the first shot he face. Artem Demkov punched home a centering feed from Matt Carter 1:13 into the stanza for his seventh of the season and extended Elmira's lead to two at 5-3. Hobbs then tucked in what proved to be the game winner at 16:20. Demkov and Philip-Michael Devos set up Hobbs off of the rush for his second of the night. The goal capped Hobbs' third four-point night (2 goals, 2 assists) of his career.
In turn, the Everblades owned the third period. They outshot the Jackals 18-0 and picked up a pair of goals for their efforts. Mathieu Roy scored a shorthanded penalty shot goal to bring the 'Blades within one just 27 seconds into the period. Pistilli followed on at 6:26 to close the gap to one. Elmira goalie Scott Greenham faced a barrage of quality chances over the final 10 minutes but stood tall amidst the challenge and helped Elmira hang on for the win.
Greenham stopped 36 shots for his third win of the season while Deckert stopped 5 of 7 in taking the loss. Elmira was 1-for-5 on the power play and 2-for-3 on the penalty kill.

Visit Antietam Battlefield 2 miles away. Bring your bathing suit and relax in the hot tub.Close to: CharlesTown Races and Slots, Appalachian Trail, Cotoctin Zoo, Prime Outlets, Shephardstown WVa, Harpers Ferry, Crystal Grottos Caverans and more...City Water delivered into cistern, non-potable water. We provide some drinking water, please bring extra drinking water. Directions: West on Capital Beltway I-495 - keep RIGHT to take I-270 N via EXIT 35 toward FREDERICK - Merge onto I-70 W via EXIT 32 toward HAGERSTOWN - Take the US-40-ALT exit 49, toward MIDDLETOWN - Merge onto US-40 ALT W - Turn LEFT onto POTOMAC ST/MD-34/SHEPHERDSTOWN PIKE - Turn RIGHT onto N Potomac ST. - Turn LEFT onto W Chapline St - W Chapline turns into Snyders Landing Rd. - end 16922 SNYDERS LANding - Yellow House.
Relaxing Atmosphere: This is an excellent place to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Enjoy views of the manicured front yard, Potomac River (winter) and the C&O Canal Towpath from the large deck. The hot tub is on the deck and is a truly awesome place to sit and enjoy the tranquil surroundings. It is really quiet and dark at night. Enjoy the porch swing or relax in the hammock!
Great Location: We are located at mile marker 77 on the C&O Canal Tow Path. The Potomac River is practically in the front yard. There is a public boat ramp close by. The Antietam Battlefield is within 3 miles of the house. Snyders Landing Road is a dead end, very little traffic. We are 5 minutes from Shepardstown West Virginia. Shephardstown is a quaint little college town with specialty shops and restaurants on the campus of Shephardstown College.
We have owned the Sharpsburg Cottage since 2000.
Catherine and David purchased this cottage in 2000
It is only 1 hr 15 minutes from Washington DC. It is a great get away from the hustle and bustle. You can truly relax here at the cottage. Take a nap on the hammock or unwind in the hot tub.
We fell in love with this property because of its location. The C&O Canal Tow Path is located just beyond our front yard. We spend time walking and biking along the path during our visits to the house. There is a small country store two doors down where you can walk and get ice cream. One of the first things we do is walk down to the river and take a dip. We are five minutes from Antietam and close to many other local attractions. We would spend every weekend in the country if we could. The cottage is fully equipped as if it were are primary residence. Our lives have become very busy so we don't get to spend as much time there as we would like, so we have decided to share our wonderful home with others. ENJOY!!
Lots of insects were a frequent challenge. Hot tub didnt work. Washing machine doesnt work. The key box is a nightmare to maneuver. But on the up side there are some games to play eith and the yard is pretty.
We loved our stay at the cottage. The kids loved the tree house and swings. We cooked some meals, ate too much Nutter's ice cream and just relaxed. It was a great vacation! Thank you!
The place was amazing! We had a girls weekend and had the best time. The place was very clean and lots of amenities provided. Kitchen items, Games to play, bikes to ride etc. The hot tub was awesome! Very homey feel to the place.The house is far enough out that it was peaceful yet close to town. We walked the trail along the river which is right across the street. We ventured into the next town only a few minutes away and did some shopping. Lovely little town. I will definitely be back with my family and for another girls weekend. Catherine was great at responding to any questions as well.
This was a great little getaway spot. The house itself is very comfortable, with a large living area and well-equipped kitchen. Both bedrooms were nice, although the downstairs bedroom is primarily for kids (which we have). The deck and hot tub were highlights, and the downstairs patio and fire pit area were also very nice, with tables and seating. The best part of the house was the location- close to us from DC, but incredibly quiet and tranquil, with beautiful views of the Potomac, and right across the street from the C&O canal. I would recommend this place, and we'll likely be back!
We enjoyed our weekend stay even in early December. The house was very comfortable, clean and as described. We are considering coming back in the spring when we can use the canal trail on our bikes and enjoy the river.
Cozy and relaxing, great experience will come back again...

OK, you've got a fender or hood (or the whole car, for that matter) that has 15 coats of chipping paint and caked rust on it. It's too big for a sand blast cabinet and will obviously take many coats of chemical stripper. A grinder would work, but the result would be hundreds of scalloped "digs" into the metal surface once the gunk is off. What's a good alternative to get to a manageable surface?
Well, we had just this situation with the doors of the old gas pump we're restoring and asked ourselves, "How about a belt sander?" How about it, indeed! We loaded our trusty old sander with a 36-grit belt and took the doors outside (expecting lots of dust and sparks) for a test.
It worked amazingly well! As expected, there was enough dust to warrant the outdoor activity, but the sander dug through all the years of accumulation in record time. Both doors were done within 10 minutes and all that was left were the little detailed edges not reachable by the sander. Scratches into the surface were minimal and can easily be sanded down and filled with a couple coats of filler/primer.
An added bonus was that the sanding belt showed virtually no wear. We estimate that an entire car could be stripped with 3-4 belts, making this a most economical solution. It's a little drastic and takes some practice, but it works great.

Discussion in 'XenForo Questions and Support' started by Falkor, Mar 13, 2014.
How do we go about stopping staff from posting in locked threads including admins?
Good question.
I hate to delete posts from locked threads from moderators
Simple.... tell your staff if it's locked, it's not to be posted in. If they do, warn them like you would a normal user. If they continue - they no longer are staff.
At best, you'd need to modify the template. But there are indications that a thread is locked, even to staff.
People that can lock/unlock a thread can reply while it's locked (otherwise they could just unlock, reply, and re-lock).
Thanks, this is what we would want to do as most times staff seem to miss that the thread is actualy locked .
#1 Hard to see.
#2 No indications at all when there is a link to a post in a locked thread.
When you click on this link :http://xenforo.com/community/threads/random-questions-answered.114/#post-3596
it takes you to a post.
You cannot see that the thread is closed , you can reply to the post.
That could be the better way to handle it.
(Even for admins)
Style it to suit.
Separate names with a comma.

"These girls left, they're so great."
35 girls. 1 prince.
Percy Jackson has finally reached age 18, old enough to hold his own selection. With 35 girls, he feels like he'll never find a bride until one calls him an idiot and crushes his foot.
Jason Grace was the adopted son. His parents, Beryl and Zeus, died in a car accident when he was seven. His uncle, King Poseidon, took him in to live with him as a prince. He never felt wanted though, more as if Poseidon adopted him to seem charitable to his subjects.
Annabeth Chase hates the Selection. She refuses to to dress up for some prince that seems like an idiot. But when her father falls ill, she knows that he'll need the money from being in the Selection. So she enters.
Piper McLean doesn't love the oldest prince like most girls do. She's just here to get away from her step mother, who loves to brag about her daughter, who is also in Selection. She just wants to leave, thinking this place is no better than home, but can the younger prince change her mind?
Hazel Levesque just entered the Selection to get away from the bullies of her school. But when she enters the Selection, she finds new, crueler ones at the palace. Through this dark tunnel, can she escape to the light of Frank Zhang?
Frank Zhang is a palace guard who brings honor to his family by serving. At least, that's what his grandmother says. His parents are dead, and he isn't sure he wants to make them proud, learning who his father really was.
Leo Valdez is a palace servant. He worked there since his parents died at age six. He hates his job and almost escapes one night, but a selected girl gets in his way.
Calypso Atlas never had many friends. She got nervous around people, so she ignored them. Her father was cruel, and her mother left when she was a baby. When the prince asks her on a date, she feels her heart swell. But is she in love with the Prince or the idea of love?
In this world of supposed love, the only certainty is pain and betrayal.

I love the coconut and hibiscus line, the curl enhancing smoothie is my fave I also like to use the curling souffle under my gel to avoid all of the crunchiness. With the souffle a lot of people complain about the texture of it and say it's sticky, not taking into mind that it had agave nectar in it so that's where a little stickiness may comei n duhhhhh!!! lol.
I've started using the yucca and baobab line not long ago and I like the conditioner and the growth milk so far. With that line most people complain about the smell, but I actually like it.

Assignment From Moscow: Get U.S. Crime War Secrets
Published: November 28, 1988
(Page 2 of 2)
He said his organized-crime assignment grew out of an unusual interview with a Soviet police officer, Lieut. Col. Aleksandr Gurov, in the cultural weekly Literaturnaya Gazeta last July 8. The interview, he said, was conducted by Yuri Shchekochikhin, an investigative reporter who specializes in organized crime and who has since been forced into hiding to escape retribution from gangs.
Colonel Gurov, identified as the director of the Research Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Soviet Union, began by drawing a distinction between the domestic Soviet criminal clans and the international Western Mafia. But he did not object to use of the term ''Soviet mafia.''
Because Soviet borders are sealed, the authorities there should have an easier time fighting organized crime, Mr. Shchekochikhin noted. ''Western police would be very envious,'' he said. An Advantage for the West
Yet the colonel and his interviewer agreed that the capitalistic West was doing better against the underworld. But Colonel Gurov offered an explanation.
''Western law allows the presentation of photographs and movie film,'' he said. ''Ridiculously our courts never accept video clips.''
Asked whether Soviet organized crime could have appeared under Stalin, the colonel replied: ''No, no way, because a totalitarian state would never allow organized crime.'' Hitler and Mussolini, he noted, crushed organized crime. Even if Stalin had not existed, Colonel Gurov went on, the country was too poor then to nurture organized crime.
But with the 1970's, he said, came Mafia-style kidnappings, blackmail and torture. One of the ''underground millionaires,'' he related, was put into a coffin that gangsters then started to slice with a chain saw until the prisoner agreed to pay an extortionate ''tax.''
Colonel Gurov quoted a report in the British newspaper The Observer of a gang member's Mafia-style funeral last year at a Moscow cemetery. A reporter who stumbled on the gathering wrote that the roadway was strewn with carnations and that many of the 100 mourners wore snap-brim Borsalino hats, wool coats and white leather boots and smoked cigarettes stuck in the corners of their mouths. Public Exposure Suggested
The answer, Colonel Gurov concluded, was not a return to ''Beria methods'' - a reference to the terror campaign of Stalin's secret police chief, Lavrenti Beria - but public exposure. ''Glasnost,'' he said. ''The mafia has to know we are aware of its existence,'' he went on, ''and we are going to fight it as a social phenomenon.''
Mr. Kikilo paraphrased parts of the article for Mr. Giuliani when he visited the prosecutor in his Foley Square office earlier this month.
''Sounds like a good old-fashioned American O.C. family,'' Mr. Giuliani said in the taped interview.
''The first thing you need is trained investigators and lawyers gathering information about these organizations -who belongs to them,'' Mr. Giuliani advised. ''First, before you prosecute, you have to gather intelligence. You try to develop informants, people within the organization willing to tell you how it functions. They can tell you the weak points, the legitimate people who are victimized - that's the way you start.'' Tailored Laws Help
He explained the importance of RICO: ''It allows you to prosecute the enterprise, a series of crimes.'' And, he said, if you gain convictions, ''you can seize all of the property acquired by virtue of illegal activities.''
''You can put organized criminals in prison and take their empire away.''
Mr. Kikilo suggested that it might be useful to have Mr. Giuliani talk directly to Soviet prosecutors.
''I think it could be an excellent thing to talk about,'' Mr. Giuliani responded.
Mr. Kikilo said he hoped to complete his reporting in the next few weeks and was looking forward eagerly to a scheduled rotation to Moscow with his wife and daughter early next year.
''I must return to sense it!'' he said excitedly of the changes transforming his homeland. ''Especially now is an interesting time.''
Meanwhile, he said, he has placed a request to interview the director of the Southern District's Organized Crime Strike Force, Louis Freeh. And he debated whether to get in touch with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
''I don't know,'' he said. ''I'm a little nervous about these people.''

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC
If lungs could be retrieved from non-heart-beating donors (NHBDs), the critical shortage of lungs for transplant could be alleviated. However, this strategy is hampered by ischemia-reperfsuion injury (IRI) due to unavoidable warm ischemic time. We used an isolated perfused rat lung model (IPRLM) to measure filtration coefficient (Kfc) as an index of IRI in rat lungs retrieved from NHBDs. We evaluated the effect of inhaled nitric oxide (NO) at reperfusion and during the period of warm ischemia.
48 Sprague-Dawley donor rats were sacrificed, and lungs retrieved immediately or after varying intervals following death (n=6/group). Lungs were ventilated with alveolar gas and reperfused with buffered Earle's solution in the IPRLM. NO (40ppm) was administered during reperfusion or after death by ventilating the NHBD with 100% O2/40ppm NO combined with post-reperfusion NO administration. Outcome measures were: Kfc, wet-to-dry weight ratio (W/D), pulmonary hemodynamics, and lung tissue levels of adenine nucleotides (by HPLC) and cGMP (by ELISA).
Lungs retrieved immediately after arrest had normal Kfc (@0.3 ml/min/100gm lung weight) and W/D (@5.8). Lungs retrieved 2 hour post-mortem from NHBDs had markedly increased Kfc and W/D. Inhaled NO at reperfusion decreased Kfc and W/D significantly (p<0.01); these were further reduced when NO was administered during warm ischemia. In lungs retrieved 3 hour post-mortem from NHBDs, Kfc was not measurable due to pulmonary edema. However, when NO was administered at reperfusion, Kfc could be measured. Inhaled NO during warm ischemia and at reperfusion decreased Kfc and W/D significantly (p<0.05) compared to lungs given NO at reperfusion alone and ventilated with O2 alone during warm ischemia. NO administration was associated with increased lung cGMP levels.
Inhaled NO at reperfusion attenuates IRI in lungs retrieved from NHBDs. The benefit is enhanced when NO is given during warm ischemia.
Administration of agents to cadavers via the airway may redeuce IRI in lungs from NHBDs.

Sunlight's Bane* is a Michigan-based band that's mastered a blistering mix of black metal, hardcore and grindcore, along with a myriad of other influences (in fact, they do a pretty sweet cover of "Be Quiet and Drive" by the Deftones). The band has spent the last few years, since renaming themselves from Traitor, making a name for themselves at shows with Call of the Void, acXdc and others. Likewise, the UK's Geist have a dark hardcore sound reminiscent of bands like Harm's Way, Withdrawal and The Banner. Two great bands, two dark, foreboding and mosh-ready sounds.
Sunlight's Bane offered some insight about the split:
"We were very eager to do the split with Geist and create something that with thousands of miles between both bands in only four songs would cover a range of aggression that would stand as a release with a specific identity in our catalogue to come. We did not want to create a physical release that was just the consequential result of our two bands writing songs. We feel that the end result was the best way we could introduce ourselves to the world as an uncompromising and unforgiving band."
Geist also sounds very eager to get this split out there:
"This is our first proper release since our debut EP "Faith Healing". We're happy that after all the work we've put in it's finally come together. A split after an EP felt like the right thing to do and with a band like Sunlight's Bane its a great opportunity to get a record released and heard in the States."
Check out the song (and rather disturbing video) "Spoke the Cancerous Void" by Sunlight's Bane below. Nick Holland of Sunlight's Bane says the video is intended to "convey and illicit a specific type of reaction in the viewer." The bleeding scenes definitely accomplish that.
(*Sidenote: Did Sunlight's Bane get their name from Dissection's Storm of the Light's bane? If they did, good on them. If not, what an awesome coincidence!)

|Ashraf Fayadh
Riyadh: A Palestinian artist sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia for apostasy was quoted by a local news website Thursday as saying that he is not an atheist and that his case centres around a personal dispute he had with someone.
Ashraf Fayadh gave the interview to Makkah Online from inside a prison in Abha, the southwestern city where he has been held since January 2014. He said a Saudi college student he knew filed a complaint to religious police accusing him of being an atheist and trying to spread atheism through a book of poetry he wrote.
Religious police detained Fayadh for a few hours after the complaint was filed and then released him, he said.
Fayadh said his poetry book was then sent to a council of clerics for their assessment of its content. The council deemed parts of the book atheistic. He said the Arabic book, called "Instructions Within", was published in Lebanon in 2008 and has not been published in Saudi Arabia.
"I am not an atheist and it is impossible that I could be," he said.
A Saudi court in Abha initially sentenced him to 800 lashes and four years in prison. He says his prison sentence was based on photos on his phone found by the religious police the night of his brief detention. He told Makkah Online the photos were of nothing more than of female colleagues he'd met through his participation in art exhibitions, which include the 2013 Venice Biennale.
Saudi courts adhere to an ultraconservative interpretation of Sharia and religious police strictly enforce the segregation of unmarried men and women.
Fayadh said after the initial trial, an appeals court recommended blasphemy charges against him be stiffened and that he be sentenced to death. He said the appeals court also recommended rejecting defence testimony, citing the Palestinian artist's own admission to writing the book.
After one hearing, the lower court issued its death sentence in the retrial last week on blasphemy-related charges.
"The judgment against me was based on the testimony of this student," Fayadh said. "The terminology I am condemned for is not even in the book, but the accusation against me was based on wrong interpretations for some of the poems."
Fayadh plans to appeal the verdict, which means the case will likely be tossed back to the appeals court and then the Supreme Court. There are no known cases in recent years of executions for apostasy in Saudi Arabia, despite such verdicts.
The Palestinian government, the General Union of Arab Writers and The Arabic Network for Human Rights Information are calling for his release.

New Delhi, Dec 12: The Lok Sabha on Friday witnessed protests by opposition members over the issue of Mahatma Gandhi's assassin Nathuram Godse being eulogised by a Bharatiya Janata Party MP.
The Congress issued notices for the suspension of the question hour as well as the adjournment motion, which were dismissed by Speaker Sumitra Mahajan.
Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge said the killer of Mahatma Gandhi was being praised, "which is a serious matter".
Members of the opposition also gathered near the speaker's podium and shouted slogans like "Hey Ram", forcing her to adjourn the house for 10 minutes, till 11.25 a.m.
BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj apologised for his comment on Godse and said: I'm taking back my words, regret if it has hurt people."
Congress however dismissed Maharaj's apology.

I've seen this problem happen on other mkIV cars as I am in the vw repair industry and we'll until it happen to my car we shipped them to the dealer cause well I can't program keys but that's soon to change so onto the problem. My car wouldn't start one day no reason, no dead battery, no instrument cluster removal,blah blah blah we all have heard it. So I was set to figure it out after a few hours what I found was the factory crimp on the wires at the plug at the antenna ring on the lock cylinder.

Although I am undecided on my procedure date, I am not undecided on Dr. Tattelbaum. During my consultation he had a good bedside manner making me feel very comfortable. Dr. Tattelbaum was happy to go over all details as many times I wanted and answer any questions. He was very professional and knowledgable. He didn't make me feel rushed or as if I have to make an immediate decision on my procedure date. He also reassured me I could come back for as many consultation I desired. The office staff was friendly, environment was bright and inviting, and clean. I would highly recommend Dr. Tattelbaum to others considering cosmetic surgery.

PASADENA, Calif. — The road to network TV comedy runs increasingly through Fairfield County.
Fish-out-of-water stories on the Connecticut gold coast are the basis of a couple of first season network sitcoms. After "American Housewife" brought Katy Mixon trying to adjust to life in tony Westport, Fox's new comedy "The Mick" brings a raucous Rhode Islander to Greenwich to take care of her sister's spoiled kids.

When Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels (R) signed HB 1001 in
February - making the Hoosier State the 23rd overall and the first since
Oklahoma a decade earlier to adopt so-called "right-to-work"
legislation that allows workers to avoid paying union dues even if a union
bargains on their behalf - many observers speculated that other states with
GOP-dominated legislatures would soon follow suit. But while Republican
lawmakers across the country have introduced right-to-work measures, similar
success has been elusive.
According to State Net, at least 16 states have introduced right-to-work bills
this year, including New Hampshire, where on March 14 the House endorsed such a
measure for the second straight year. Gov. John Lynch (D) vetoed the 2011
legislation, HB 474, and has vowed to do the same if this year's bill, HB 1677,
gets to his desk. That does not bode well for its supporters: The 198-139 tally
in the House is far from the two-thirds majority needed to make it
Minnesota Republicans, meanwhile, are pushing their right-to-work measure as a
constitutional amendment, which must be approved by voters. But the proposals
(SB 1705 and HB 2140) have sparked a mild intraparty feud. The Senate bill
cleared the GOP-controlled Senate Judiciary and Public Safety Committee, but
has stalled in the Senate Rules Committee, also controlled by Republicans. The
House bill, meanwhile, has stayed locked down in the Commerce and Regulatory
Reform Committee. Although Republicans hold majorities in both the House and Senate,
legislative leaders have refused to bring the bills to their respective floors
for a vote.
Many ascribe that reluctance to the bruising political brawls that anti-union
efforts sparked last year in Ohio and especially Wisconsin, where Gov. Scott Walker
(R), Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch (R) and four GOP Senators face a recall vote
this spring. In private, some Gopher State Republicans have expressed concern
that a right-work-amendment could ignite a similarly strong backlash from the
state's strong Democratic base, not something they relish in a year where every
legislative seat is up for election.
Their hesitation has led SB 1705 author Sen. Dave Thompson (R) to accuse his
colleagues of political cowardice.
"It's not about the policy," Thompson told The New York Times on
March 20. "There is a tremendous fear of the political ramifications - it
boils down to that, nothing more or less."
Thompson and approximately a dozen lawmakers from both chambers have continued
to push the issue, holding a recent press conference in which they implored
Senate Majority Leader David Senjem (R) to bring SB 1705 to the Senate floor.
Senjem was not moved.
"We have no plans to do it at this point," Senjem told the St. Paul
Pioneer Press. "I don't think the votes are there."
That explanation wasn't satisfactory for Minnesota Sen. Dave Hann (R), who
responded, "There's only one way to find out. And that's to bring it to
the floor."
A similar intraparty conflict is shaping up in Michigan, where Gov. Rick Snyder
(R) has strongly discouraged lawmakers from sending him a right-to-work bill
this year. Snyder called such legislation divisive, saying right-to-work
"is an issue that may have its time and place, but I don't think it is
appropriate for Michigan in 2012." Michigan has several right-work bills
already pending, including SB 120, which would allow local governments to
establish their own right-to-work zones, and SB 729, which would establish the
law for unionized school employees.
But Snyder's concern is for more than just what his fellow Republicans will do.
He recently implored union activists to drop their own efforts to place a
constitutional amendment on the ballot this fall that would permanently bar
right-to-work legislation in the Wolverine State. The governor told the Detroit
Free Press he is opposed to the union effort for the same reason he is against
right-to-work legislation.
"My concern is that could start a whole divisive atmosphere of other
people trying to put right-to-work on the ballot, a whole bunch of things like
that, and that would distract from the good things we've got going on,"
Snyder said.
It isn't clear yet whether Snyder will get his wish with lawmakers, but
organizers for the ballot measure insist they will not stand down, citing 80
pending or already approved bills from the last few years they say are
"That just underscores the need for it," said Zack Pohl, a
representative for We Are the People, one of the many labor groups behind the
ballot drive, which must obtain 320,000 valid signatures by July 9 to get the
measure onto the November ballot. "We fully expect more attacks from
Legislature politicians and corporate CEOs."
That stance is sure to create just the scenario Snyder says he wants to avoid,
as business leaders have said they will respond with their own
"We would rather not have this right at all," Michigan Chamber of
Commerce Rich Studley told the Free Press, "but it would just be wrong for
labor leaders to assume that there won't be active opposition."
Back in Indiana, the battle over its right-to-work law is also far from over.
The International Union of Operating Engineers Local 150 has filed suit in
federal court, saying the law violates both the state and U.S. constitutions.
Attorney General Greg Zoeller, meanwhile, told the Indianapolis Star he will
vigorously defend the law.
But while the court battle may just be starting, the public relations battle
has never abated. Last week, the head of MBC Group, a business analytics
company that Gov. Daniels recently held up as an example of how the
right-to-work law is already growing Hoosier State businesses, said the law
actually had nothing to do with the company's expansion. Company president Eric
Holloway said MBC had been planning the expansion for a while and the law
"was not going to affect our decision one way or another."
Daniels did not offer a comment, but earlier claimed that more than two dozen
companies are considering moving to Indiana because of the law, and three
others have already committed to doing so. Labor leaders, however, pounced on
the revelation. In an email to union supporters, the Indiana AFL-CIO cited the
MBC claim in its efforts to rally opposition against right-to-work lawmakers in
the November elections.
"While it's not shocking, it's disappointing that our officials would
stoop to this level in order to deceive the public which they are supposed to
represent," the message said.
In states like Minnesota, lawmakers and business leaders are all keeping a
close eye on how the events in Indiana, Michigan, New Hampshire and elsewhere
are unfolding. Charlie Weaver, head of the Minnesota Business Partnership, told
the New York Times the ongoing push for a right-to-work law felt risky, noting fear
that a voter backlash could return control of the Legislature to
"So you get this, but what if you also get devastatingly bad legislation
for growing jobs for the next two years? Then what?" Weaver said. "We
just aren't sure whether this is a politically wise thing to do or
