A cervical tissue cell-gathering device is provided which can be self-administered, and which is so arranged as to protect the sample from contamination as it is inserted and withdrawn from the vagina. An improved method for the preparation of Pap smear slides using such a device is described.
1. A cervical tissue cell-gathering device comprising:
an outer tube;
an inner tube, slightly longer than said outer tube, telescopically positioned within said outer tube and longitudinally movable therein;
a moistened cervical sponge mounted at the forward end of and projecting from said inner tube, said sponge moistened with a fixative solution for preserving cervical tissue cells; and
a thin, flexible, mucous-protecting sleeve which encloses said inner tube and said cervical sponge before and during insertion into the vagina, one end of said sleeve being fastened to the inner wall of said outer tube, and the other end of said sleeve being folded over the forward end of said sponge in such a manner as to permit said cervical sponge to be extended therethrough.
2. A cervical cell-gathering device as set forth in claim 1 wherein a cervical stop is affixed to said outer tube.
3. A cervical cell-gathering device as set forth in claim 1 wherein the fixative solution is an aqueous solution comprising from 1 to 2 percent of glycerine, and from 25 to 50 percent of a lower alkanol having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
4. A cervical cell-gathering device according to claim 1 wherein the fixative solution is an aqueous solution comprising from 1 to 2 percent of glycerine and from 20 to 40 percent of ethyl alcohol.
5. A cervical cell-gathering device according to claim 1 wherein the mucous-protecting sleeve is a polyethylene film.
6. A cervical cell-gathering device according to claim 1 wherein the cervical sponge consists of spirally-wound layers of cellulose cloth sponge.
Cytologic screening using the Papanicalou test (Pap test) has been used for the past 20 years as an effective means for the early detection of cervical cancer. Although approximately 90 percent of American women are aware of the nature and purpose of the Pap test, about 36 percent of them will not use the test, notwithstanding the fact that symptoms of this cancer can be detected in the very early stages thereby facilitating and making treatment much more effective. The goal of the Uterine Cancer Task Force of the American Cancer Society is to have an annual Pap test for every woman over 20 years of age.
There are two major problems in such a screening of mass populations. The first is the availability of physicians to conduct examinations and conduct the necessary Pap smears. The second problem concerns a reluctance on the part of the female population which is due in part to the time and effort involved in taking the test, the expense -- especially for lower socio-economic groups, and lastly, the natural reluctance of many women to have the examination conducted for reasons of modesty.
The Pap test is generally administered by the physician in his office by inserting a speculum into the vagina, thereby exposing the cervix. The surface of the external os is scraped by means of rigid wooden or plastic sticks, and the detritus so obtained is placed upon a glass slide for cytological examination. The use of these probes is traumatic, not infrequently causing injury to the tissues and the risk of subsequent infection. These probes are non-porous in nature and are not capable of gathering or collecting exudates and secretions at the squamocolumnar junction of the uterine cervix which may be useful in indicating the presence of infectious microorganisms such as trichonomads, candida albicans, leptothrix, and other microorganisms of bacterial nature. Since these probes are rigid rather than being soft and flexible, they tend to destroy the friable, cervical cells when smeared against the rigid glass slide. In addition to destroying portions of the sample, the use of a rigid probe tends to smear the specimen non-uniformly onto the slide, making the interpretation of the slide more difficult and reducing the reliability of subsequent tests thereof.
The use of a vaginal irrigation pipette allows a patient to obtain a cell specimen herself. However, the cellular materials obtained in this fashion require a markedly different interpretation as compared to the conventional cervical scrapings obtained via the Pap smear. Additionally, the recovered material is generally suspended in saline solution and must be separated therefrom, requiring an additional step in the diagnostic procedure. Moreover, irrigation of the uterus creates the possibility of flushing abnormal cells into the oviducts thereby contributing to the risk of implantation by seeding.
The present invention describes a cervical tissue cell-gathering device which can be safely used by the individual with a minimum of discomfort and in the privacy of her own home. The nature of this device is such as to create a gentle wiping action in lieu of the scraping action required by the Pap test. By means of this device an untrained individual can obtain a specific cellular sample from the region of the squamocolumnar junction of the cervix, which can then be mailed or transported to the clinic for cytological examination. Moreover, the particular device described herein provides a complete cell representation free from vaginal cell wall contamination and mucous secretions.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,847,000 discloses a device for obtaining body cell specimens which incorporates a slide mounted in an open-ended tube. Such specimens, however, are readily contaminated with extraneous vaginal secretions upon insertion and require additional processing for cytological examination.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,776,219 discloses a cervical scraper having a conical polyurethane foam head. This head contains a plurality of petal-like appendages arranged to envelop and protect the head during withdrawal. However, these petals offer no protection against contamination upon insertion and, indeed, are designed to collect a full representation of cells, both endocervical and exocervical for a complete diagnosis of the cervix and vagina.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,857,384 discloses a cervical tissue cell specimen-gathering device in which the cell sampler is a rotatable slide carrier adapted to contain a microscopic slide. The principal feature of this invention is an outer insertion tube through which the slide carrier is slidably and rotatably inserted.
While these devices are all useful, they are not entirely satisfactory. Little, if any, protection is afforded to the cell-gathering means upon entry into the vagina from the normal vaginal secretions which are present. Thus, there is a need for a cervical tissue cell-gathering device which provides for a more complete cervical tissue representation free from vaginal secretions and contamination.
Accordingly, the present invention comprises an economical, highly efficient, self-administered, tissue cell-gathering device whereby a woman can collect cervical tissue for cytological evaluation without pain and without serious trauma to tissue at the sampling site and be able to do so at her own leisure and privacy. This invention describes such a device which provides for a highly specific cervical test sampling and which is essentially free of contamination from vaginal secretions.
In a more limited aspect of this invention there is described a self-administered method for the collection of cells from the region of the squamocolumnar junction of the uterine cervix and their protection in transportation or mailing to clinical laboratories for subsequent cytological examination.
In a still more limited aspect of this invention there is described a method of preparing Pap smear slides which enables a reliable and accurate diagnosis by the physician in the detection of cervical carcinoma.
Other advantages of this invention will become apparent by reference to the following specification and accompanying drawing.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cervical tissue cell-gathering device taken from one side and slightly below at the forward end thereof.
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the device with the cervical sponge having been extended through the mucuous-protecting sleeve.
FIG. 3 is an elevational view of the device equipped with a mailing label.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a preferred embodiment of the cervical sponge taken from one side at the forward end thereof.
Reference is now made to the accompanying drawing for a better understanding of the nature of the invention. The drawing illustrates the best mode presently contemplated for carrying out the present invention and is not to be construed as a restriction or limitation upon its scope.
As can be seen in FIG. 1, the cervical tissue cell-gathering device is an assembled unit comprising essentially four parts: an outer tube or cylinder 11, an inner tube or plunger 12, a cervical sponge 13 mounted at the leading end of said inner tube which collects the tissue cell specimen, and a thin, flexible mucous sleeve 14, which protects the cervical sponge from contamination both prior to and during insertion.
The outer tube 11 is generally of thin-walled construction having a smooth leading edge and smooth outer walls to facilitate its insertion into the vagina and to preclude any injury to the internal organs. Preferably, an inexpensive, sterilizable material such as rubber or suitable plastic having sufficient rigidity for use in the manner hereinafter explained is utilized. Polyethylene is a preferred thermoplastic material and is used throughout in the construction of this device with the exception of the cervical sponge 13 and the flexible mucous membrane 14. Polyethylene has the advantage of being sufficiently rigid, biologically compatible, easily sterilized, and can be readily extruded or molded by injection or compression. The dimensions of the outer tube are such in nature that insertion is readily achieved in the average woman without undue force or pressure.
The outer tube may vary from 1.0 to 2.0 cm. in its outside diameter and range from 10.0 to 15.0 cm. in length. Preferably, an outer tube of 12.7 cm. in length is employed, which is the standard gynecological distance to the cervical site of a mature woman. In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a cervical stop 15 is fitted at the rear of the outer tube as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3. As can be seen, the cervical stop serves not only to position the forward end of the outer tube directly beneath and in front of the cervix, but also to act as a bushing for the inner tube to slide freely within the outer tube. The outer tube may also be equipped with a protective cap 16 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 so as to protect the cervical sponge from contamination and dehydration both prior and subsequent to use.
The inner tube 12 acts as a plunger within the outer tube. It is slightly longer than the outer tube and is arranged so as to be in a slidable telescopic relationship thereto. A finger-gripping portion of knob 17 can be fastened to the far end of the inner tube and serves to act as a stop when the inner tube is fully extended as indicated in FIG. 2. When properly inserted by the user, the forward end of the fully extended inner tube 12 containing the cervical sponge 13 is automatically in the position so as to obtain a tissue sample in the region of the squamo-columnar junction at the uterine cervix. The leading edge of the inner tube is smoothly curved or beaded to facilitate penetration and prevent internal injury from occurring.
A preferred embodiment of this invention includes a beaded or rolled rim 18 at the forward end of the inner tube as shown in FIG. 2. This rim 18 additionally serves as a guide, which in combination with the bushing effect of the cervical stop 15, permits the inner tube to slide and rotate freely within the outer tube without jamming or binding.
The cervical sponge 13 is mounted at the forward end of the inner tube in any convenient manner, such as by sonic welding, solvent fusion, or adhesive bonding. Preferably, the inner tube is crimped to the cervical sponge as indicated by 19 in FIG. 2, thereby avoiding the possibility of any sensitivity or allergenic reactions as a result of the additional chemical agents employed. The sponge material can be of any suitable character including nylon, polyurethane foam, cellulose or other synthetic surgical sponge material. The sponge should be lint-free, easily sterilized, and, of course, remain inert to the fixative solution employed.
The preferred sponge material for use herein comprises a high-purity, cellulose sponge cloth of fine porosity. In the dry state, the cellulose sponge is hard and abrasive. When moistened with water or aqueous solutions, however, the sponge becomes soft and at the same time compressible and expandible so as to exert a gentle wiping action at the cervix. FIG. 4 shows a preferred embodiment of the sponge in which the cellulose sponge cloth 13 is spirally wound on a polyethylene rod 20, as shown in FIG. 4. The leading edge of the sponge cloth 21 acts as a soft, flexible wiper which collects the cervical tissue cells so they may be absorbed and retained by the sponge. It is this gentle wiping action, as compared to the scraping action of the prior art, that provides a rich sampling of atypical cells when present, thereby increasing the probability for positive diagnoses.
In general, the sponge is pre-moistened with 1 to 2 cc. of a suitable fixative solution, although this can also be added just prior to use. Suitable fixative solutions comprise aqueous solutions of glycerine and the lower alkanols. The glycerine is present in amounts ranging from 1 to 2 percent by volume of the total volume of the fixative solution and is present to prevent the collected tissue cells from swelling or shrinking. Saline or physiological salts can also be added to achieve the same purpose. The term lower alkanol includes those aliphatic alcohols having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, as for example, methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol, isobutanol, and t-butanol. The alkanol concentration ranges from about 25 to 50 percent by volume of the total volume of the fixative solution and should be sufficiently high as to inhibit bacterial growth and/or decomposition of the tissue cell material collected. Alternatively, small amounts of fungicides or antibiotics can be added to the fixative solution to inhibit the decomposition of the cell sample on prolonged storage. A simple and preferred aqueous fixative solution comprises a solution of from about 1 to 2 percent of glycerine by volume and from about 20 to 40 percent of ethyl alcohol by volume.
The mucous-protecting sleeve 14 encloses the inner tube and sponge assembly as shown in FIG. 1. Once the cervical sponge has been sterilized, the mucous-protecting sleeve maintains sterility and prevents further contamination from occurring. It also serves to act as a vapor barrier preventing the pre-moistened sponge from drying. Most importantly, however, the mucous-protecting sleeve prevents contamination of the cervical sponge from the normal body fluids and vaginal secretions present upon insertion into the vagina, and permits a cervical tissue sample to be collected which is free from such contamination.
The film sleeve can be prepared from any film material that is thin enough to substantially retain its folded configuration. Preferably, a polyethylene film of 0.5 mil or less in thickness is utilized. A polycarbonate film may also be utilized in the present invention. Such polycarbonate films are thermoplastic linear polyesters of carbonic acid derived from the polymeric condensation of bisphenols with one or more phosgenes, as for example phosgene itself or its derivatives. Such films are commercially available under the Trademark, "Nucleopore" from the Nucleopore Corporation in Pleasanton, Calif. While the thickness of the film is not critical, a thickness of from about 8 to 13 microns is preferred, with a film thickness of 10 microns being especially favored.
In fabricating the sleeve, it may be extruded as a seamless tube, or it may be formed from a flat sheet rolled into a tube with overlapping or butt seams. The sleeve is fastened to the inner wall of the outer tube and may be attached to said tube by heat, sealing, heat-shrinking, suitable adhesives or by friction with the cervical stop as indicated in FIG. 2. The mucous-protecting sleeve is folded over the forward edge of the sponge in a manner as to become unfolded when the sponge is pushed therethrough during ejection as is illustrated in FIG. 2.
In operation, the cervical tissue cell-gathering device is assembled, sterilized and dispensed as a single unit, which may or may not have a mailing label as shown in FIG. 3. The cap 16 is removed, and the woman desiring to obtain her own cervical tissue cell specimen, inserts the outer tube assembly into the vaginal canal until stopped by the vaginal shield 15. Thus, properly positioned, the user extends the inner tube 12 containing the moistened cervical sponge 13 through the thin, flexible, mucous-protecting sleeve 14 by means of the finger-gripping portion of knob 17. This moves the cervical sponge forward and in contact with the posterior vaginal fornix. The knob 17 is fully rotated to sample the cervical tissue and collect these cells onto the cervical sponge. The inner tube 12 containing the cell-laden, cervical sponge 13 is withdrawn into the outer tube 11 by rearwardly pulling knob 17. The entire unit is then withdrawn from the vagina, the protective cap 16 attached, the mailing label 22 completed, if necessary, and the tube transported to a clinical laboratory for subsequent microscopic examination.
The distribution of the cellular material on a microscope slide is accomplished by removal of the protective cap 16 and extending the cervical sponge as far forward as it will go by means of knob 17. The sponge can then be placed on a clean microscope slide and compression-rolled over the slide, thereby depositing a uniform number of cells throughout the entire area of the slide.
It can be readily appreciated that the cervical tissue cell-gathering device described herein eliminates contamination of the cell preparation, inasmuch as the cell-gathering sponge is never touched by human hands. The cervical cellular material so obtained in evenly distributed throughout the surface of the sponge and the presence of the fixative solution in the sponge at the time the sample is collected assures an intimate contact of all of the cells with the fixative solution. Slides prepared in this fashion are rich in cervical tissue cells, are of uniform density and are free from vaginal secretions and exudates.
It can be seen that the device described hereinabove can also be particularly adapted to a wide variety of diagnostic purposes. First and foremost, however, it is especially suited for use in obtaining a cervical smear for diagnosis in a Pap test. With minor modifications, this device can also be used to collect pathological bacteria and fungi in order to diagnose troublesome infections in the vaginal tract itself. Additionally, this device lends itself to the application of ointments, liquid medications and predetermined dosages of antibiotic and antifungal agents for delivery to specific sites in the vagina, as for example the cervix and the anterior or posterior vaginal fornix.
While several embodiments of the inventive concept have been set forth herein, it is understood that the invention is not to be construed as limited thereby, and that suitable changes, modifications and variations may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the following claims.

Oh he will. Even if he throws 6 ints, Rex will never bench this guy. Rex can't admit his mistake about Sanchez.
Let me start out by saying I'm one the biggest Sanchez supporters.
I know the deck is stacked against him on Monday ( injuries etc.), but it's time for Mark to step up and show that he can put this team on his back in adverse situations.
Isn't that what good QB's do?
I really believe that this could be his last chance! I don't want to see any sissy/panic mistakes or him cowering down when the pass rush gets intense.
Mark, it's your team. But them on your back and make the players around you better for a change. Brady would, Manning(s) would, Rogers would, heck even RGIII does it!
It's now or never Mark, this is it for you!!
Oh he will. Even if he throws 6 ints, Rex will never bench this guy. Rex can't admit his mistake about Sanchez.
Sanchez has the worst body language of anyone in the league. The minute things go wrong he loses it. I understand that the talent around him sucks but other QBs over the years have had bad players around them and they find a way to pick them up. He makes bad decisions and holds onto the ball way to long. Some of this has to fall on the coaches because they are asking the horribly slow offensive players to run routes they can't but he has to make immediate decisions or get rid of the ball right away otherwise we have no chance.
He has already shown what he is made of:
1. Sugar
2. Spice
3. Everything Nice
Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not but the truth is those other guys do pick up the other players. Did you ever hear of Jacob Tamme before Manning turned him into a respectable TE. What about the fact that even 5th string receivers on Green Bay and New England end up with good statistics. That is either the QB, the coaches or the GM. Either way something is seriously wrong with our team. When was the last time we drafted a guy late and he turned into a superstar for our team.
Great play call....screen pass
Good line blocking and preparation to get down filed to block.
Running back slips out of the back field.
Sanchez throws the ball 6 feet off the ground into a Dlinemans mitt and it gets picked off.
this is why the guy is taking massive heat and justifiably so. When we do have the right call, the guy is open , no pressure he still junks it up. Worst Qb in the league right now.
He clearly needs to play better. The entire team needs to!!!.. it will be a very tough task going up against the Texans.. Their offense is better than the 49ers and their defense rivals SF...
Coming off this disastrous loss,,, national game on Monday night at home.. I would expect a big effort from the team.... atleast hope!!!
I think Tebow will get nod at some point....
frankly, Tebow is no savior.... they will play differently when he is in there, but .... not sure it will be fun to watch and clearly not an indication that they will win games..
I have to agree with Beerfish. Also, why does Sanchez have the worst completion percentage of any QB ever. I have seen blind people with more accuracy. Even when the WRs get open he throws a bad pass. With so little talent on offense the Jets can't afford to blow the few chances they get but Sanchez often throws the ball into the ground or to the opposing players. Remember the play a few weeks ago when Santonio was wide open in the end zone and Sanchez needed to lead him a bit for a TD, instead it was a horrible throw and incomplete.
I was a big Sanchez supporter, but unfortunately, he is not the guy. Last Sunday was not an isolated incidence. When things go wrong, the good ones get pissed off. They have some fire in their gut. Mark submits. He plays scared. He looks at the rush instead of the receivers. Have you ever seen him stand tall and deliver a strike in the face of a rush and then get clobbered, but still complete the pass? I can't recall an instance.
He is also terribly inaccurate. He is now in the Tebow category for accurancy.
I am sure that he looks great in practice. Unfortunately you can't wear the red jersey in the real games.
So THIS is the game Sanchez has to step up?
Against a team that is 8-0 in their last 8 games.
With a 20 point average win differential.
With his #1 receiver out and the jets #1 D player out?
Not like making this performance a gauge of his ability is unreasonable or anything.
Let me guess, "you have to pick up your game against the toughest opponents" What happened to the last 8 teams who got blown out by the Texans?
I don't know what anyone here does for a living, but could you imagine your boss coming to you and saying "I have hired one of the top 2 people in the world at your job. They are perfect int heir performance. You have to be better than them or you are fired" I am not sure who among us could do that. I am damn good at my job and I am sure I could not.
Colts is a better game to make a "must win". If Sanchez can't perform against the Texans, he joins a long list of QBs who could not. If he cant produce against the Colts, then we have a real problem. If he can't produce against Miami again, then we have a real problem. Not producing against the Texans? Not a surprise IMHO.
Monday night is a game that was a loss before the season started.
Be realistic. If a change is made based on Monday night against that defense with this roster, then the entire front office and coaching staff should fire themselves.
Monday night is a borderline meaningless game. Just like last week was.
Unfortunately this guy is coming after Sanchez on MNF...

GPS leads police to truck; vehicle breaks lead to arrest
MERRIMACK — Thanks to a GPS device, a truck stolen in Litchfield was recovered quickly in Merrimack and a man found with the truck was arrested.
Police said Litchfield police contacted them Saturday at 10 a.m., saying a GPS system showed that a truck stolen earlier that morning in Litchfield was at 7 Meetinghouse Road in Merrimack.
When police arrived, they found Benjamin Sherman, 23, who has no fixed address, standing near the truck, which had both doors open. After a brief investigation, Sherman was arrested and charged with felony receiving stolen property. Bail was set at $5,000 cash.
Police said because of a number of recent area thefts from motor vehicles, the truck theft is still under investigation; further charges are possible for Sherman.
That is also the case with a woman arrested Sunday, police said.
Police executed a search warrant at 1:48 a.m. at the 25 Fox Meadow Lane residence of Kristen Beebe, 25.
Police said their investigation into thefts from vehicles determined that Beebe allegedly had pawned a number of the stolen items.
When executing the warrant, police said Beebe was found in possession of a large quantity of heroin and several items related to the theft investigation.
Police said Beebe physically resisted being taken into custody and had to be restrained.
She was charged with possession of a narcotic, possession of a narcotic with intent to distribute, receiving stolen property and two counts of resisting arrest. Bail was set at $25,000 cash.

Thank you so much... You saved Thanksgiving!!! I was put in charge of dessert, having never made a pie in my life! A YouTube search lead me to your blog, and your quick but thorough instructions led me to absolute success. With your instructions for pie crust and apple pie filling, I made the best dessert of the night! It even bested the creme brûlée my sous-chef cousin made... Amazing! The ultimate claim to fame is that my mom ate it and also loved it. She's a devout anti-pie enthusiast and hates all things "pie." That's no longer true. She loved it!!! I had to mix the crust by hand, since my NutriBullet couldn't handle the task, but i found that to be a more enjoyable experience overall. I greatly appreciate how you just cut to the chase. Your blog, the content, and your style of teaching is so exceptional, that I will be a frequent visitor for the rest of my life... I can't thank you enough!!!

Either way... Thank you, and happy Thanksgiving!

The Richmond scene continues to flourish as various artists release new content and put the capital of Virginia on the map. Many often times forget about the budding city when thinking of the DMV music scene but it is jam packed with talented creatives who help the scene thrive. One up-and-comer who recently came onto my radar is artist and producer Tee Rxmeo. The former jazz pianist recently dropped a captivating self-produced offering entitled "Living For."
Black Zheep DZ - Ice Hot (Video)
Baltimore upstart Black Zheep DZ continues to impress with his recent release of a slew of content. His latest offering comes in the form of the T Zhang directed visual for 8th World standout "Ice Hot." The visual perfectly complements the haunting production of Rvdical the Kid and witty wordplay from Zheep.
Falside - Duevt (Instrumental Album)
New York City beat wizard Falside continues to improve on his extensive discography with yet another instrumental project entitled "Duevt." With the cold clutches of winter grabbing at our coattails Falside warms things up with a sample-laden project that upon listening feels all so familiar. It brings comfort to the listener like a warm bowl of soup when you're sick or a cold glass of water and four Advil after a night of debauchery.
Ezko ft. Phil Ade & Drew Love - Miseducated
It's a DMV affair as Maryland upstart recruits Phil Ade and Drew Love for his latest release "Miseducated." The old school boom-bap nature of the Esta-produced record works perfectly for Ezko and Ade as they effortlessly flow throughout. The two prove why they are regarded as two of the more promising artists from the greater Metropolitan area.
Thestand4rd - Vital Sounds
Introducing Thestand4rd. The captivating quartet consists of Spooky Black, Allan Kingdom, Bobby Raps, and Psymun. As individuals they has vastly different styles of music and are at different points in their careers. Spooky Black took the industry by storm with his hypnotic style of R&B and his affinity for du-rags. Allan Kingdom also shares a successful musical career and has garnered fans near and far with his captivating content. While Bobby Raps and Psymun work to become household names the group comes together as a cohesive unit that will be sure to help build a name for all four.
They recently released an 11-track self-titled album that will surely help garner fans for them as a unit and as independent artists. One record that stood out was the haunting "Vital Signs." The synth-laden offering is upbeat and is hard not to grove to. Listeners are then confronted by an ominous set of vocals that serve as your guide.
Ace Cosgrove - Golden Chills (Video)
Maryland up-and-comer Ace Cosgrove continues to impress. His latest project UsvsRobots cycled through the blogosphere receiving positive reviews from all who pressed play. One standout record, "Golden Chills", recently received a complementary visual offering. Watch as Cosgrove poetically flows throughout the refreshing vocal-laden offering.
Swolf ft. Jetty Shad - The Real (Video)
It's a Virginia connection as Swolf and Jetty Shad come together for a raucous new offering entitled "The Real." The Chachi produced offering receives a perfectly complementary visual treatment from Helena Banks. The ominous nature of the video works well with the haunting feel of the production and comes just in time for Halloween. Be on the lookout for Swolf's forthcoming project New Vegas which is set to drop later this month.
DPL - Dysfunctional
Los Angeles representative DPL finds himself struggling with the "Double Life" he has been living lately. He looks back on love lost due to his busy lifestyle of creating music, maintaining a social life in the City of Angels all while helping put on his collective Double Life, which consists of photographers, graphic designers, videographers and various other creative. DPL effortlessly mixes elements of R&B and hip hop as he flows throughout the refreshing new effort. This will be featured on his forthcoming project Double Life which he is currently hard at work at.

The Consumer Corner - Written by Beasley Allen on Thursday, April 19, 2012 12:06 - 0 Comments
Walgreens Sued For Fatal Prescription Mix-Up
Walgreens has been sued in a lawsuit involving the death of an elderly Kentucky woman whose pharmacist allegedly gave her the dangerous antihistamine Hydroxyzine instead of the high blood pressure medication Hydralazine prescribed by her doctor. The Complaint, filed in Jefferson County Circuit Court, alleges that Mary Moore received the Hydroxyzine when she went to fill a prescription for Hydralazine at a Walgreens store in Louisville on Nov. 10, 2010. Ms. Moore had just been released from a hospital after being treated for high blood pressure, congestive heart failure and kidney failure. Her doctor had prescribed Hydralazine to treat her high blood pressure.
According to the Complaint, Hydroxyzine is classified as a "high risk" medicine for the elderly and is frequently confused with Hydralazine. Ms. Moore's hypertension went untreated for two weeks before the pharmacy discovered the error and gave her the correct medicine. It's alleged in the Complaint, that by the time Ms. Moore was actually placed on Hydralazine, "it was too late" because she could no longer tolerate the prescribed dosage. The woman's blood pressure allegedly could not be controlled and the consequent stress on her heart resulted in "decompensation of congestive heart failure, which caused decompensation of her chronic kidney disease."
Ms. Moore was hospitalized several days after starting her Hydralazine prescription and died on December 6, 2010. Apart from alleging that Walgreens negligently dispensed the wrong drug, the Complaint filed by the estate of Mary Moore, also alleges that a Walgreens' pharmacist violated state law by not providing her with counseling at the time she had her prescription filled. It is alleged further that "had Plaintiff's decedent been given counseling, the pharmacist would have noticed the dosage was inappropriate for an elderly consumer, and that it was contraindicated for [a] person with hepatic, renal and cardiac problems … and that Hydroxyzine is a medication often negligently substituted for Hydralazine."
The Complaint was filed on February 15th and includes claims for strict liability, breach of warranty and negligent failure to warn. Richard J. Head, a Simpsonville, Ky., attorney, represents the Moore estate in the lawsuit against Walgreens.

$71 is a joke and you know it.
I say fair value is about $90 and $45 for CPB. Heinz has already been bought by WEB, so nothing left to say there.
My next best guess for a huge run or buyout is Molson Coors. I think it could go to $60 easily.
another great day and Molson Coors is moving like I predicted....
I agree, but sell should the right action here, you could come back and buy the same number of shares for much less
Sentiment: Strong Sell
It's simple. Just sell at the high and buy back at a low point. If we do that every time our net worth will very shortly exceed that of Bill Gates . Never mind the foolishness of buying and holding quality companies.

MUSIC REVIEW: The Perlman Music Program: Celebration Concert
Date: January 12, 2011
by: June LeBell
Now in its seventh Sarasota season, the Perlman Music Program has taught us what to expect when we attend its Winter Residency Celebration concert, so there were only a few surprises this past Saturday at the Sarasota Opera House — and they were almost all good ones.
Attending one of these performances is like discovering a great video on YouTube. The stage is crammed with some of the most talented string players in the world. The surprise for the uninitiated is that they're mostly teenagers: focused, brilliant, poised and on the verge of major careers in music.
Their mentors, the violinist and conductor Itzhak Perlman and his insightful-and-inspirational wife, Toby, have a home life that's been filled with five of their own children. Years ago, in a conversation I had with Toby, she told me the reason they had so many kids is they had so much love to give, and they simply had to spread it among them. This same philosophy seems to prevail in their treatment of the student musicians who participate in the Perlman Music Program.
Itzhak, who has occasionally moonlighted as a baritone in concerts and operas, feels it's important for instrumentalists to learn to sing. And is he ever right! It's not so much that they become great singers with beautiful voices, but when instrumentalists sing in an ensemble, like The PMP Chorus, they learn phrasing, breathing, stage deportment and, most importantly, the art of listening to each other. All of this is then translated into their chamber music, orchestral and solo instrumental performances.
So, as in most past years, Saturday's concert began with chorus master Patrick Romano and The PMP Chorus (including Itzhak and Toby Perlman), using their "original instruments" in singing excerpts from an early Mozart Mass, Mozart's "Ave Verum Corpus" and a well-known "Coronation" Anthem by Handel.
Was it great singing? No. It was strident, thin and, at times, pushed. But the musical and emotional lessons learned by the singers will pay off manifold in the future, and by keeping the selections short, it was hardly an infliction on the ears of the audience.
After a quick stage change, the musicians returned with their real instruments — violins, violas, cellos and basses — to do what they do best. And did they ever do it! Itzhak dubbed their selections a sort of musical menu, starting with an appetizer of Mozart (three movements from a divertimento), followed by a sandwich of a Perlman-constructed chamber work: the first movement of Schubert's "Death and the Maiden" Quartet (transcribed for string orchestra by Mahler); the second movement of Beethoven's Opus 18, No. 4 Quartet; and the final movement of the Schubert.
With his ample charm and charisma, Itzhak, on the podium, called this the "entrée of the dinner" with the opening Schubert being "a big steak" and the Beethoven "a foie gras course."
For my taste, the rich, sonorous sounds the orchestra made in the Schubert/Mahler were more like a luscious rib roast (bone in, of course!), while the clarity and beautifully resolved dissonances in the Beethoven were like a palate-cleansing soupcon of sorbet.
There were two surprises. This time, rather than ending with a fun romp through the "Carmen" Suite as they have in past years, Itzhak chose an encore of the Brahms "Hungarian Dance" No. 5. This made a really rich dessert course, complete "mit schlag," in one of the best Hungarian-style drones (violins leaning into an up-bow crescendo) we've ever heard. It was delicious.
The only not-so-good surprise had nothing to do with the performers. It was the packed audience that seemed very un-Sarasota-like in its understanding of the concert. Applauding at several inopportune moments (including in the middle of a phrase), this seemed to be an audience that turned out because it was the thing to do. Let's hope those who were attending a classical concert for the first time learned as much as those kids on the stage and that this experience will have them return for more in the future.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Two-man race at Pine Ridge
It was bunched up for nearly two full days but now the Players Cup at Pine Ridge is down to a one-on-one staredown.
Vince Covello, a 29-year-old native of the Philadelphia area and Chris Killmer, a 25-year-old from Bellingham, Wash., share the lead at 13-under-par 200 heading for today's final round at Pine Ridge.
It's almost certainly going to one or the other taking the $24,000 first prize, since the nearest chasers are six shots away through 54 holes.
That trio — Trey Denton of the U.S. and Canadians Matt Makinson and Monday qualifier winner David Lang, all at seven-under — will need career golf and a near miracle to get to the trophy today.
Covello started the third round four shots in arrears of leader Killmer, but going head-to-head, had erased that deficit by the fourth hole on Saturday.
The duo then played steady golf to the finish, getting well ahead of the rest to set up the Sunday showdown.
Both men are gunning for their first Canadian Tour victory and the significant perks that go along with it.
"It's going to mean a lot," Killmer said, asked about the possibility. "More than the money or anything like that. It's a chance to win.
"There's a ton of good golfers out here and to be at the top of them all at the end of the week, it something I've dreamt about and I'm really excited to have that opportunity, the opportunity to win."
In the resume department, Covello may possess a slight edge, in particular at Pine Ridge. He led for a good while in 2010 and finished tied for fifth, then was sixth last year.
"Gosh, my first win out here on the Canadian Tour? It would be super nice. I'd be stoked on it. I've won five times as a pro now, but never out here. It's certainly something that was in my goals, that I've been wanting to do for a while now.
"Especially at this golf course. I've had a couple of looks at it. Another one again this year. I say it every time I'm talking to you guys, you play to get yourself in a spot to win a tournament and here we are."
Covello pulled even on Saturday with a hybrid from 266 yards approaching the par-5 fourth. It stopped 15 feet from the hole and the eagle putt went down from there.
He had to fight back twice more to square before the day was over, including a 15-footer for birdie at the par-4 18th.
"It's just nice to square the match up before you get to the final round," Covello said. "It should be fun tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it. Obviously it looks like it's between me and Chris now but you never know when somebody's going to light it up though. You can never count anybody out out here."
Killmer, in his second year on the tour, has been impressively steady as a newcomer. He made eight of 10 cuts last season, including his tie-for-13th at the Players Cup, but has never been higher than 10th.
After he had chipped to a foot on the 18th — a great recovery following his errant iron into the right grandstand — he pulled his hat down over his face.
"Just basically (said) good up and down, just took in the moment," Killmer said. "Looked back on 18, realized that despite what happens tomorrow, I've played a great tournament so far and just kind of taking in the moment.
"I think it's hard to find a moment out here to yourself."
Killmer said he'll be into match-play mode today.
"Pretty much," he said. "(The others) six back? It's match play. It'll just be me and Vince slugging it out. I'll probably be going first quite a bit since he hits it by me quite a bit. I can either be putting on the pressure or taking it off. Hopefully putting it on.
"And I think we were doing that a bit today."

PORT ORANGE, Fla. (AP) - A man doing electrical work at a Port Orange warehouse was reportedly killed when he touched a live wire.
The fire marshal reports that 59-year-old Wade Leonard Madole was working in the parking lot of NorthStar U.S. Food Service Monday. He and another man were taking apart the bases of light poles when Madole grabbed a bare wire and was electrocuted.
Officials say the other man was shocked when he tried to help Madole, but he should recover.
Northstar employees tried to revive Madole after he went into the full cardiac arrest. Firefighters transported Madole to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration will investigate.

(AP:MOSCOW) Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev says the death of a whistle-blowing lawyer in prison will not adversely affect the country's business climate.
His comments came after the U.S. Congress passed a bill that imposes sanctions and travel restrictions on Russian officials connected to the death of Sergei Magnitsky, a Hermitage Capital lawyer who died in jail of untreated pancreatitis after accusing Russian officials of stealing $230 million from the state.
The RIA Novosti news agency reported Saturday that Medvedev said businessmen are "uninterested" in the issue and that Magnitsky's death was being used by some as "political capital."
Medvedev spoke soon after his return from the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, where he promised a more transparent Russian government.

A Craft Beer Guide to Cape Town
Rob PetersThe rise of craft beers in Cape Town has been rapid. Capetonians will no longer assault their gullets with mass-produces lagers. They want variety and they want quality. I spoke to Martin Tucker, owner of The Beer Merchant, and one of the organisers of the Cape Town Festival of Beer, to get a better understanding of craft beer around the city. Basically I wanted a guide on what the Mother City has on tap. He broke the market down into three different categories: breweries, tap rooms and places.
What to do on a Sunday in Cape Town?
Nicole BiondiI know - silly question isn't it? Naturally there are always loads of things to do in Cape Town on a Sunday, especially when that Sunday is a summery one. I could join the rest of my running fraternity and have an early morning jog alongside the twisty ocean-flanked road between Seapoint and Camps Bay, while drinking in the incredibly beautiful views. I could meander up the road from my house in Woodstock, stop for the Sunday papers and pick up some still-warm, dripping with syrup and smothered in coconut 'koeksiesters' (a Cape Malay donut-like treat) to have with my Field Office coffee. And most importantly, I could indulge in one of my absolute favourite Sunday brunch-time pursuits - I could head to the Winchester Mansions Hotel for their weekly Sunday Jazz brunch.
