The World Trade Organization (WTO) is failing to deliver the trade liberalisation desperately needed to bring prosperity to developing countries, according to a new study released today by the Institute of Economic Affairs*. The WTO is hamstrung by a cumbersome negotiating model and the influence of vocal protectionist lobbies who oppose free markets. At the same time, increasingly popular regional free-trade agreements often create as many barriers as they remove by erecting new obstacles to trade with countries outside the blocs concerned.
In the context of policy paralysis at the WTO, the author, LSE trade expert Dr Razeen Sally**, argues that governments must take back the initiative from supranational institutions. The priority must be unilateral liberalisation removing trade barriers to benefit domestic consumers

FINISH THIS WEEK 47 ….. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
If this is your first time here, welcome. If you're a repeat participant, thanks for playing along and joining the shenanigans. Your co-hosts are LISA (COASTLINED), JEN (The Arizona Russums), BECKY (The Java Mama) and NICOLE (Three 31) and the instructions are simple: answer the prompts on your blog and add the post to the link up. Next week, we'll do it all over again with a new set of prompts (located at the bottom of this post). Let's get started!
The *YEAR IN REVIEW* link up begins December 31.
If you are a blogger then you absolutely MUST complete the *YEAR IN REVIEW* questionnaire. If you need some inspiration, click HERE. Please share with others.
1. My favorite Thanksgiving tradition
is being with loved ones. Whether I'm in Texas or Kentucky with family and friends, I enjoy being with the people I love. The food is a major plus, but the company is best. We laugh, we joke, and we have a good time. If I'm in Kentucky (Louisville, specifically), we always get the playing cards out for a game of Progressive Rummy. In years past, on Thanksgiving Day, instead of battling the long lines and craziness that is Black Friday shopping, we'd go to Churchill Downs and watch live horse racing. If I'm celebrating Thanksgiving in Texas, depending on the weather, Husband and I grab our guns and fishing poles and head to the pond. We put targets against the dam to shoot and, when we're done, we have a contest to see who catches the most fish. After walking the long distance from the house to the pond, we're ready for Round Two of more turkey, dressing, yeast rolls, and desserts!
2. My most memorable Thanksgiving was
I have fond memories of every holiday, including Thanksgiving. 2012 was bittersweet because I was in Kentucky and saw my cousin, Brian, before he deployed to Afghanistan. (He's back home, safe and sound!) Last Thanksgiving (2013) was pretty memorable because I was eight months pregnant. I literally ate ALLLLLL day long but it was a few bites here, a couple bites there, and I had to pee every two minutes. I told my in-laws not to make me laugh or I'd have to change my pants. Speaking of pants, I highly recommend wearing maternity clothes at the Thanksgiving dinner table. The stretchy, elastic panels are super comfortable and the ultimate wardrobe staple for over-eating. If you're wondering if I still own a pair of pregnant pants, YES I DO!
3. My favorite Thanksgiving food or dish
turkey (duh!), dressing (stuffing, whatever you call it), and cranberry relish. In years past, I've made sausage and cornbread dressing, my Mom's signature cranberry relish. Since I am a big fan of carbs, dressing (or is it stuffing?) takes up a significant portion of my plate. And I always go back for seconds. And thirds. For the record: I think I like 'dressing' best because stuffing a raw turkey's butt with a mixture of cubed bread, vegetables, and seasonings then eating it later is disgusting and cause for salmonella. Ain't nobody got time for salmonella!
4. I'm so thankful
for God's grace; my family and friends; an abundant milk supply; and stretchy fat pants.
Prompts for WEEK 48 — December 3
My biggest fan
My great blessing is
Sometimes, all you need to feel better about life is

When did HDMI become a format ? anyway its more what you pc can handle and your card reader a Standard card reader wont read AVCHD but a replacement is cheap .Assuming your PC is ok ie power and memory and disc space I would just try what you have first before going for other software though I'm happy with Premiere elements.Note you can burn Avchd to a standard dvd which will play as HD ( about 20mins worth)on a Bluray player saves converting unless of course you are going for bluray for your home movies

When I have traveled abroad I always feel so embarrassed when I happen to be in a country where I don't speak the language and I have just no idea what to say except in English, and some broken French is not going to get me too far. Even in places where "everyone speaks English" I still think it's obnoxious, but if you really don't know the language what choice do you have.
What I do object to is the bilingual council agendas, for both work sessions and regular meetings, that now populate the Newburgh City Council. I did some digging and could not find another city in the US that publishes bilingual agendas–not Port Chester, NY, that was subject to the US Department of Justice's noted Voter's Rights Act lawsuit a few years ago; not Los Angeles, California, with all its Latinos; not Santa Fe, the capital of New Mexico, which is the state with the highest Hispanic population in the country, or even a smaller city closer to the Mexican border in that state, the City of Las Cruces.
It's just a lot, visually to deal with, and cognitively as well, to have the English text followed by the Spanish text over and over again. I recommend that if a Spanish version is desired that a separate copy be made, and let the clerk count how many copies are taken to gauge how many people are actually taking a Spanish version.

This was a Christmas gift for very mature 5 year old twins - 1 girl and 1 boy. I did not actually see the game, or get to watch them play; but, the thank you note said they liked it very much. And, they told me who could and could not catch the hoppies! so I think they were truthful.
This is one of my favorite games from my childhood. I am so happy it was brought back!!

Farmers weigh harvesting corn or drying in the field
The long run of warm, dry weather, and the forecast of even more to come, is giving Upper Midwest corn producers a difficult but not unpleasant decision: Harvest wet corn now and pay drying expenses? Or hold off combining for a few days and allow corn to dry naturally in the field?
Dry bean yields suffer
Dry bean yields in North Dakota and western Minnesota were hurt by unfavorable weather and crop disease, an industry official says.
Looking back at planting decisions
This spring, for the second straight year, many area farmers decided to continue planting well into summer rather than quit planting and collect federal crop insurance.
Great weather creates tough choice for area corn farmers

Farm management specialist: 'No right answer' between PLC, ARC
Dwight Aakre has analyzed many federal farm bills in his career. But even the veteran North Dakota State University Extension Service farm management specialist isn't sure which of the two safety-net options created by the 2014 farm bill is the better choice for area farmers.
Soybean harvest picks up after slow start
The Upper Midwest soybean harvest is surging into high gear. "Right here in my area, it will really get going this week," says Anthony Bly, Sioux Falls-based soils field specialist with South Dakota State University Extension. "I know other areas where it's already going strong."
CWB building new elevator in Manitoba's Red River Valley
CWB, formerly known as the Canadian Wheat Board, is building another "state-of-the-art" grain elevator, this one in Manitoba's Red River Valley. The new elevator, near St. Adolphe, south of Winnipeg, will feature 34,000 metric tons of storage and is scheduled to open in 2016. The project includes a 134-car loop track and cleaning facilities.

The fall to-do list of Upper Midwest farmers includes figuring out complicated provisions of the new farm bill.
Two things we all agree on
Despite what urban folks might think, farmers often disagree among themselves. Everything from proper economic policy to the best brand of tractor is debated, sometimes with logic and sometimes with passion.
Frequently asked questions come with the job
Agricultural journalists often are asked about their job and the subject they cover. Here are some of the questions and my responses.
Enjoy the good times, but don't get carried away
I don't know if the past few years have been the best stretch ever for farmers on the Northern Plains.
Ag needs young blood in rural areas
Sure, wheat, corn and cattle are common on the Northern Plains, but the prairie's leading staple may be gray hair.
Good years in agriculture require public relations skills
The past few years have been pretty sweet for many area farmers. Yes, some producers, especially ones with livestock, have struggled through no fault of their own. And yes, many producers, again through no fault of their own, sold a lot of grain too soon or too late and missed the best prices.
Farmers no longer have the region to themselves
If you're closely connected to agriculture on the Northern Plains, you've almost certainly come to this unpleasant conclusion: A growing number of area residents know little about ag and care even less.
That special season returns
There's nothing quite like harvest on the Northern Plains. If you're a pragmatist, you enjoy harvest because it's when the money rolls in.
Of summers green and brown
One summer years ago, when I was still a farm kid, central North Dakota was gripped by drought.

Freeney placed on injured reserve, out for season
INDIANAPOLIS --- Dwight Freeney's season is over, and now Simeon Rice has a chance to start anew in Indianapolis.
Freeney, the three-time Pro Bowl defensive end and highest-paid defender in the league, was placed on injured reserve Wednesday by the Colts. He's scheduled to undergo surgery later this week or early next week on his injured left foot.
The blow is potentially devastating to Indianapolis, which has already been depleted by injuries. Seven starters missed Sunday's game in San Diego, and Indianapolis lost four more starters, including Freeney, during the game.
"Dwight is a player you cannot replace," former Pro Bowl safety Bob Sanders said. "But we'll continue to move on, continue to get better. We'll put new guys in and continue to roll. That's what Dwight would want us to do."
Clayton: Fallin' Off Horse
It's unclear how Dwight Freeney suffered an injury that dates back to Napoleonic times, John Clayton writes. Blog
The Colts (7-2) don't have a choice.
Freeney injured the foot while making one of his patented spin moves on a pass rush during the fourth quarter of Sunday's 23-21 loss. He immediately crumpled to the ground, hopped off the field and then could not put any weight on the foot while standing on the sideline. Eventually, he was taken to the locker room on a cart.
Coach Tony Dungy originally said he did not believe the injury would be season-ending, and team president Bill Polian indicated on his weekly radio show Monday night that Freeney was likely to miss at least three or four games.
Further examination Tuesday revealed a more serious injury in the midfoot area where a cluster of bones forms a small arch between the ankle and toes. The official diagnosis is a Lisfranc injury.
In a statement released just before Dungy spoke with reporters, the Colts said Freeney was expected to make a full recovery in time for next season.
"You just have to move forward, you can't move back," Dungy said.
Scouts Inc: A big loss
Dwight Freeney's season-ending Lisfranc injury is a big loss for the Colts, and signing Simeon Rice to take his place won't fully fill the void left by Freeney's absence from Indy's defense. Story
To help fill the void, the AFC South-leading Colts claimed Rice, a two-time All-Pro defensive end, off waivers Monday. Rice spent the first half of the season with Denver, which signed him to a one-year, $3 million contract in September.
Rice's transition should not be difficult because he spent six seasons in Tampa Bay, where he played in the same system used by the Colts. Rice is also familiar with Dungy, who helped persuade Rice to join the Buccaneers in 2001.
It's the second straight year the Colts have brought in one of Dungy's former defensive linemen to fill holes. Last year, they traded a second-round draft pick to Tampa Bay for defensive tackle Anthony McFarland after Corey Simon was lost for the season.
McFarland eventually helped shore up a leaky run defense, which aided the Colts' run to the Super Bowl title.
Rice, who feels Indy's system is a better fit for his skills than Denver's, hopes to make the same impact.
"I went there with the mind-set that they would play me the same way I played in the past, and that wasn't the case," Rice said of the Broncos. "It wasn't a good fit for me. This fits me. I like this situation, and I helped build this thing in Tampa."
Stacks of Sacks
Only Jason Taylor has more sacks than Dwight Freeney (pictured) since 2002, Freeney's rookie season.
|Jason Taylor
|Dwight Freeney
|Simeon Rice
|Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila
|Aaron Schobel
Rice, in his 12th NFL season, has the second-most sacks of any active player in the NFL (121) and is expected to initially play the right side, where Freeney did.
It's uncertain how much playing time Rice might get this week against Kansas City, and Dungy indicated he may start Josh Thomas and use Rice primarily in pass-rushing situations.
"One thing we can't do is think that [Rice] is going to be the savior or a knight in shining armor who is going to make everything OK," Dungy said.
Freeney's absence isn't the only one Indianapolis has to contend with.
The Colts held Sanders, receivers Marvin Harrison and Anthony Gonzalez and defensive end Robert Mathis all out of practice Wednesday.
In all, 13 players appeared on the report and that doesn't even include the three defensive starters -- Freeney, McFarland and linebacker Rob Morris -- who have already been put on injured reserve, ending their season.
Harrison, the perennial Pro Bowl receiver, has missed four of the last five games with a bruised left knee and has been limited in practice on the few occasions he has worked out with the team over the past month.
Gonzalez dislocated his left thumb on the first play against New England two weeks ago and sat out Sunday's game at San Diego.
Sanders, the former Pro Bowl safety, was listed with a knee injury although he has routinely taken at least one day off during the week all season. Mathis, who plays opposite Freeney, did not practice because of an injured hip.
Right tackle Ryan Diem (ankle) left the Chargers game just before halftime and linebacker Tyjuan Hagler (neck) has missed the last three games. Both were limited in practice Wednesday. Tight end Bryan Fletcher (calf), one of Peyton Manning's favorite targets Sunday, also was a limited participant.
Among others sitting out were safety Matt Giordano (hamstring), Sanders' backup; cornerbacks Dante Hughes (shoulder) and Tim Jennings (upper leg); left tackle Charlie Johnson, who replaced Tony Ugoh in the starting lineup the last two weeks but hurt his left ankle Sunday and didn't finish the game; and receiver Aaron Moorehead (back), one of only three receivers active for the San Diego game.
The Colts did get some good news, though.
Tight end Dallas Clark (concussion) returned to practice after missing last week's game with a concussion, and Ugoh (neck) also was back on the field. Neither was listed on the report.
The Colts placed backup linebacker Victor Worsley on injured reserve and re-signed defensive back T.J. Rushing to the active roster after cutting him Saturday to free up a roster spot. Indy also signed receiver Devin Aromashodu from the Houston practice squad, putting him on the active roster, and added linebacker Brandon Archer to the practice squad.

Awesome Teens Chase Down Kidnapper On Bike, Rescue Little Girl
"I had the gut feeling that I was going to find the little girl." Those were the words of 15-year-old Temar Boggs and his pal Chris Garcia, two heroes for a country in desperate need of some. After word went out that 5-year-old Jocelyn Rojas had been abducted, Boggs and Garcia—neither of whom knew Jocelyn—got on their bikes and started patrolling their neighborhood.
And it's a good thing they did, because just two hours after Jocelyn was lured into a middle-aged man's car by the promise of ice cream, they spotted a driver that seemed suspicious and was avoiding police. Temar and Chris chased the vehicle, peddled up next to it and caught sight of a little girl and a middle-aged man at the wheel—when the man saw them, he pushed her out of the car and sped off. The girl ran into Temar's arms and told him, "I need to see my mommy." So, it was a happy ending for the folks of Lancaster Township in Pennsylvania, although the kidnapper remains at large. Still, Jocelyn's parents are elated that things didn't go much, much worse. "[They] were just saying that I was a hero, that I was a guardian angel ..." said Temar. "I'm just a normal person who did a thing that anybody else would do" ...

Harrison returned to the game after one play, but Gay was escorted off the field while he cradled his left arm.
Gay came back late in the first half, and broke up a deep pass by Eli Manning to Smith with 2 minutes left.

Many small institutions wrestle with the annual assessment of how to manage routine capital projects. A backlog of deferred maintenance items can further complicate planning.
Many small institutions wrestle with the annual assessment of how to manage routine capital projects. A backlog of deferred maintenance items can further complicate planning.
For decades, academic libraries have been distinguishing elements of campuses across the nation. Providing abundant resources along with quiet environments conducive to individual study, these buildings withstood the test of time, serving the needs of students and faculty alike.
Similar to their corporate counterparts, institutions of higher education have to operate in a fiscally responsible manner, which means managing budgets and achieving bottom line results.
An increasing number of students with special needs now attend four-year universities, with admissions officers reporting a fivefold increase in their applications over the past 30 years. But with this opportunity also comes additional challenges in ensuring that their needs are met.
West Virginia State University broke ground in October on a 291-bed, $20 million residence hall, the first to be constructed on campus since 1969.
Repurposing an old campus building may not have the wow factor that comes with creating a new facility from scratch.
Today's up-and-coming millennials are taking different learning style and lifestyle trajectories than our country's one-career, suburban dwelling baby boomers.
It was clear four years ago that Wisconsin-based Carthage College needed a new system for managing help requests from the campus community.
Colleges and universities nationwide marked the 10th annual Campus Sustainability Day in October with events and discussions that reflect on the success of the sustainability movement in higher education.
Sitting adjacent to UMKC's historic School of Management building, and now complementing it, is the new Henry W. Bloch Executive Hall for Entrepreneurship and Innovation.
More is not always better, as Wayne State University discovered. Like many universities, Wayne State relied on a dual system where applicants submitted some information online, and other information using paper forms. The result was a clumsy and redundant process.
Police officers at the University of South Florida sprung into action one afternoon last February when a text message flashed on a computer screen at the campus 911 operations center, alerting the dispatcher that a student had a .25-caliber pistol in his dorm room.
On college campuses, students are often reluctant to report a crime, whether it's being committed by a fellow classmate or a stranger.
One hundred freshman at The University of Dayton were given bikes this fall after the students signed a pledge not to bring a car to campus during their first two years at the Ohio school.
Securing a large college or university campus—really a city within a city—is a daunting task. Many campus police departments are stretched thin dealing with crimes ranging from burglary to sexual assault, leaving them the resources to act only after a crime as been reported.

Razia Sultana
Razia Sultana, Slave Dynasty
Razia Sultana ruled the throne of Delhi from 1236 to 1240 and was the most competent and able heir of her father Iltutmish.
Razia Sultana (1205-1240) was the daughter of Iltutmish and the most deserving contender to the throne of
after the death of Iltutmish. Iltutmish nominated his Razia as his successor and coins were struck on which the name of Razia was inscribed along with the name of the Sultan. But ultimately Iltutmish`s son Firoz ascended the throne but his reign was short lived and was succeeded by Razia. She ruled on the throne of Delhi from 1236 to 1240. Like other Muslim princesses of that time, she was trained to lead armies and how to administer kingdoms.
With the accession of Razia on the throne of Delhi, the struggle for power between the Sultana and the Turkish slave nobles became quite evident. While Razia asserted her rights as the Sultana and decided to be the real ruler of her kingdom, the nobles and the provincial governors wished the right to choose the ruler and keep her or him dependent on themselves. Razia was more correct in upholding the cause of absolute monarchy initiated by Iltutmish in that infant stage of Turkish rule in India unlike her nobles who meant to divide the power of the state.
Razia was a worthy daughter of a worthy father. She was the first Muslim Sultana who challenged the traditions of Islam concerning women. Politically she tried to establish her authority as Sultana and refused to share her absolute rule with her nobles and provincial governors. Thus her position became precarious in the very beginning of her reign. Razia`s moves were very diplomatic. She showed dissension among her rivals and the confederacy of the nobles was broken. After her initial success against the governors Razia tried to concentrate power in her own hands and succeeded. Her primary aim was to make the Turkish slave-nobles subservient to the throne. She made fresh appointments of the governors and redistributed the high offices of the State. Razia succeeded in bringing about submission of all nobles.
Razia Sultana was endowed with all the admirable talents necessary for a Sultan. She was shrewd and diplomatic. She understood the permanent interests of the state and pursued them in right earnest. She believed in power and prestige of the Sultan and tried to uphold them with her best abilities. She was successful as a diplomat. The first attack of nobles on Delhi was nullified by her by dividing them among themselves and she safeguarded her kingdom from involvement in the politics of Ghazni and Central Asia by refusing to help Malik Hasan Karlugh against the Mongols. She dressed herself in male attire and sat on the throne without veil because she wanted to perform her duties as a ruler unhesitatingly and truthfully. Razia believed that it was in the interest of the state to create a strong monarchy and, therefore, desired to put a check on the power of the Turkish slave-nobles. She succeeded in her attempt, for three years, ruled her kingdom well and kept the Turkish slave nobles under her control. But ultimately she failed because she could not break their power.
The primary cause of Razia`s failure was the growing ambitions of her Turkish slave-nobles. Iltutmish had brought the; to such a level by assigning all important posts of the state to them. They were loyal to Iltutmish but proved treacherous to his successors. When Razia, the ablest child of Iltutmish occupied the throne and decided to rule in her own right and curb the power of the nobles, they conspired, revolted and eventually succeeded in deposing her.

Increasing evidence links altered intestinal flora in infancy to eczema and asthma. No studies have investigated the influence of maternal intestinal flora on wheezing and eczema in early childhood.
To investigate the link between maternal intestinal flora during pregnancy and development of wheeze and eczema in infancy.
A total of 60 pregnant women from the Boston area gave stool samples during the third trimester of their pregnancy and answered questions during pregnancy about their own health, and about their children's health when the child was 2 and 6 months of age. Quantitative culture was performed on stool samples and measured in log10colony-forming units (CFU)/gram stool. Primary outcomes included infant wheeze and eczema in the first 6 months of life. Atopic wheeze, defined as wheeze and eczema, was analysed as a secondary outcome.
In multivariate models adjusted for breastfeeding, day care attendance and maternal atopy, higher counts of maternal total aerobes (TA) and enterococci (E) were associated with increased risk of infant wheeze (TA: OR 2.32 for 1 log increase in CFU/g stool [95% CI 1.22, 4.42]; E: OR 1.57 [95% CI 1.06, 2.31]). No organisms were associated with either eczema or atopic wheeze.
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance
In our cohort, higher maternal total aerobes and enterococci were related to increased risk of infant wheeze. Maternal intestinal flora may be an important environmental exposure in early immune system development.

VANCOUVER, B.C. (AP) Minnesota goalie Josh Harding has told the Wild he's feeling a little "off" from medication he takes to fight multiple sclerosis.
The Wild recalled goalie Darcy Kuemper from their AHL affiliate before Tuesday's game in Vancouver.
Harding had a shutout against Dallas but gave up five goals at Detroit and was pulled in the first period Jan. 30 against Chicago after giving up two scores on four shots. Harding was diagnosed with the disease this summer but hadn't experienced any setbacks or complications before now.
General manager Chuck Fletcher told reporters in Vancouver he's pleased Harding was open and honest about his condition. He said Harding he may need some time for his body to adapt to the new medication.
The Wild also reassigned defenseman Marco Scandella to the AHL.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
United States Patent [191 [111 3,820,535 Marco June 28, 1974 INTRAUTERINE DEVICE [76] Inventor: John L. Marco, 601 Dow Ave., Pnmary Emmmer R1chard Gaudet Oakhurst, NJ. 07755 Massouras 128/130 Assistant ExaminerG. F. Dunne Attorney, Agent, or FirmEdward F. Levy [5 7] ABSTRACT An intrauterine contraceptive device has a central body portion with legs or ribs projecting radially therefrom and presenting a three-dimensional configuration. The ribs are hinged to the central body portion and collapse in the manner of a parasol to provide a linear two-dimensional unit for insertion of the device into the uterine cavity. A portion of the device, such as the central body portion, may be formed of a ball chain of heavy metal to increase the contraceptive efficiency of the device.
6 Claims, 14 Drawing Figures PATENTEDJIJHZB I914 3820.535
SHEET 1 (IF 3 INTRAUTERINE DEVICE The present invention relates to intrauterine contraceptive devices of the type which are inserted into the uterine cavity in position to make contact with the walls thereof.
It having been established that the introduction of foreign bodies within the uterus will prevent pregnancies, a wide variety of intrauterine devices have been devised. Such devices have been in the form of rings, spirals, loops, shields, and other shapes.
Experience in the use of such devices has shown that the basic design of each device determines its contraceptive efficiency. One'of the chief problems encountered is the tendency for some devices to be expelled easily due to contraction of the uterus. Another problem is the tendency for some devices to produce harmful side effects such as puncturing the uterine wall. It has been found that where the device is made with thin leg, arm or rim portions, the tendency for expulsion is greater, but the danger of side effects is decreased. On the otherhand, where the legs or other parts of the device are made heavier and stronger, there is less tendency for expulsion, but a greater tendency for harmful side effects.
It has also been found that an open device, that is a device of framework or linear configuration, has certain advantages over a closed device of more solid configuration. Experience has shown that in those instances where the device has pierced the uterine wall and entered into the abdominal cavity, an open device is less likely to cause emergency problems, such as intestinal obstruction, which would require immediate surgery.
For purpose of more effective and sustained pregnancy inhibition, a three-dimensional intrauterine device is favored over a device whose parts lie in a single plane. If a three-dimensional device is designed so that it may be collapsed or folded up for insertion into the uterus with the legs pointing outwardly, thinner legs or arms may be provided without losing the advantages of expulsion resistance, and absence of side effects.
More recent studies have indicated that when a device is properly placed, its contraceptive efficiency is increased in direct relation to the amount of surface area which it contacts ,within'the uterus. It is thus evident that devices having large surface areas for extensive surface contact with the uterine walls are desirable. The difficulty with such devices, however, is that the larger surface area presented, the greater the bulk of the device, and consequently the greater the difficulty of insertion into the uterus and removal therefrom and the greater the tendency for harmful side effects.
It has also been established that when heavy metals, such as copper and zinc, are added to an intrauterine device, a chemical reaction results which increases the effectiveness of the device to reduce the pregnancy rate. It is therefore desirable for optimum contraceptive effectiveness that the device be so designed that such heavy metal may be attached or made. an integral part thereof.
Accordingly, the principal object of the present invention is to provide an intrauterine-device which will include a combination of all of the aforementioned features, while avoiding the problems and difficulties inherent in many of the devices presently in use.
Another object of the invention is to provide an intrauterine device which in inserted position has a threedimensional form and is capable of resisting accidental expulsion from the uterus, but which is foldable into narrow compact form for easy insertion and for ready removal by a physician without damages to tissues.
Another object of the invention is the provision of an intrauterine device'of the character described which is formed of thin component parts, but in which these parts are covered by a flexible diaphragm to provide a large surface area to increase the contraceptive efficiency of the device.
A further object of the invention is the provision of an intrauterine device of the character described in which heavy metal may be included as an operative portion of the device as a flexible chain of balls of the same or different heavy metals.
In accordance with the invention, there is provided an intrauterine device which is preferably formed of flexible plastic material having a central body or core with a plurality of elongated legs extending radially therefrom and capable of hinging movement relative thereto so that the legs can be collapsed in a parasol type action. The central core includes a depending elongated guide member which may be an integral part of the plastic device, or may be a chain of metal balls, the guide member serving to insert the device accurately within the uterus. At least some of the legs may be covered with a thin membrance to provide a large surface area for contact with the uterine walls.
Additional objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent during the course of the following specification when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:

FIG. 14 is a front sectional view of a uterus with the device of FIG. 13 inserted therein.
Referring in detail to the drawings, there is shown in FIGS. 1, 2,.3 and 4 anintrauterine device 10 made in accordance with the present invention. The device 10 is made of a soft and relatively flexible plastic material such as polyethylene, or the like which is imperious to body fluids, and comprises a central core or body portion 12 from which four integral legs, 14, 16, 18 and 20 extend radially. The pair of legs 18 and 20, which extend along the same axis are made longer than the other pairs of legs 14 and 16 which extend along an axis perpendicular to that of legs 18 and 20.
The outer portions of each of the legs 14, 16, 18 and 20 are made of channel shape, having a substantially semi-circular cross section, as shown, to provide a desired amount of rigidity and shape retaining property to the legs. At the inner portion of each leg, where the leg joins the central core 12, a portion of the channel wall is cut away to provide a flexible web 22. The webbs 22 serve as hinge means to permit the legs to be folded down to provide the parasol effect which constitutes an important feature of the present invention. FIG. 4 shows the legs in such folded or collapsed position which they would assume during insertion of the device into the uterus. Because of the memory properties of the plastic utilized in making the device 10, the legs will tend to return to their extended positions shown in FIG. 1 after the device is accurately inserted into the uterus. If desired, a thin spring wire (not shown) may be embedded within some or all of the legs to augment the memory properties thereof without being exposed to the uterine tissues.
An elongated ridge 24, having a curved surface, is located on the upper surface of the device 10 above the central core 12 to provide a rounded leading tip for the device when the legs are folded for insertion, thereby reducing the danger of puncture or damage to the uterine wall.
The device 10 also optionally includes a guide member 26 in the form of an elongated cylindrical rod or tube formed integrally with and depending from the central body member or core 12. The guide member 26 is sized to fit loosely within the top open end of an insertion tube 28 (FIG. 1) which is employed to insert and locate the device 10 in proper position within the uterine cavity, in a manner to be presently described. A length of thread or suture 30 may be secured to the guide member 26 and passed through the interior of the insertion tube 28 to insure that the device 10 remains firmly mounted on the tube 28 during the insertion operation. The thread 30 may thereafter be employed to remove the device 10 from the uterus.
The ends of the legs 18 and 20 are flattened by the addition of thin peripheral flanges 36 which provide relatively wide and flexible membranes. These provide increased surface area for contact with the uterine wall when the device is in inserted position, and the thin flexible nature of the membranes prevents any injury to said wall.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the end portions of the legs 18 and 20 are provided with small holes or openings 38 to which threads or sutures 32 and 34 are attached. These threads are employed to fold down the legs 18 and 20 during the insertion operation and are also employed to fold down said arms during removal of the device 10.
FIGS. and 6 show the position of the device after it has been inserted in the uterus 40. For maximum efficiency the deivce is made to seat high in the fundal dome so that the extended legs 18 and make contact with the wall 42 thereof defining the top of the uterine cavity 44.
It will be appreciated that while the side walls 46 and 48 are widely divergent to define the uterine cavity 44 as shown in the diagrammatic section of FIG. 5, the front and rear walls 50 and 52 lie in close proximity to each other, as shown in FIG. 6. Thus, when the device 10 is brought to its inserted position of FIG. 5, while the legs 18 and 20 turn upwardly to the extended position shown, in which they extend substantially perpendicularly to the guide member 26, the legs 14 and 16 remain folded downwardly, being compressed between the uterine front and rear walls 50 and 52, as indicated in FIG. 5.
The procedure which the physician follows in inserting the device 10 is a simple and easy one. The guide member 26 is set within the top of the insertion tube 28 with the thread 30 extending through tube 28 and trailing from the bottom thereof. The threads or sutures 32 and 34 are then drawn taut toward the bottom of the insertion tube 28 causing the legs 18 and 20 to bend downwardly until they lie along the surface of tube 28. In this condition the device 10 is introduced into the uterus by means of tube 28, care being taken to insert it with the legs 14 and 16 turned to such a position that the uterus side walls 46 and 48 press down said legs to a position where they too lie along the surface of tube 28. Thus during the initial insertion of the device 10 into the uterus, all of the legs 14, 16, 18 and 20 are hinged downwardly in the manner indicated in FIG. 4, and the device presents a small, compact unit which follows the contour of the insertion tube 30.
When the physician feels that the leading tip of the inserted device 10 has contacted the fundal wall 42, and that the device is otherwise properly located, he releases tension on the threads 32 and 34, which permits the legs 18 and 20 to spring outwardly to the extended positions shown in FIG. 5. The extended legs 18 and 20 thus provide surface contact in the fundus region of the uterus. As previously indicated, the legs 14 and 16 remain folded downwardly, as shown, between the side walls 50 and 52, and provide surface contact with such side walls in the corpus and isthmus regions of the uterus. The extended legs 18 and 20 and the compressed legs 14 and 16 cooperate to prevent undesired expulsion of the device 10 due to muscular contraction or other causes.
The flexible threads or sutures 30, 32 and 34 are made sufficiently long that their ends extend outwardly beyond the mouth of the uterus when the device 10 is properly mounted therein, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. Thus, when the device 10 is to be removed by a physician, the projecting ends can be engaged and grasped by a suitable instrument. When the threads 32 and 34 are drawn downwardly, the legs 18 and 20 will again fold down to retracted position, and the device 10 can be easily removed.
Where the device 10 is used for immediate post partum insertions, the threads 30, 32 and 34 may be made of ordinary suture material interwoven with absorbable gut material, such as the well-known absorbable sutures. The absorbable suture portion is made considerably longer than the permanent suture portion, so that from the interwoven threads there extends respective extension thread portions 30a, 32a and 34a composed entirely of absorbable material, which within a short time will disintegrate or dissolve, leaving the short permanent thread lengths for convenient removal.
The device is made in such a form that heavy metal may be added thereto in order to increase the contraceptive efficiency of the device. In conventional devices, copper or other heavy metals are usually em ployed in the form of springs or in the form of wire wrapped around portions of such devices. This has a tendency to stiffen the device undesirably. Copper also has a tendency to dissolve, leaving sharp edges on the springs or wires and causing traumatic conditions. In the present invention, the metal is provided in the form of balls or spheres or rods which, even when dissolving, leave rounded surfaces.
In the device 10 of FIG. 1, the guide member 26 may be made of copper or other heavy metal, formed integrally with the core 12 in the molding of the latter. Alternatively, a solid rod of heavy metal may be hung from the guide member 26. In the preferred and most effective form, however, the heavy metal is provided in the form of a chain of balls, each made of the same metal, or made of different heavy metals.
FIG. 7 shows an alternate embodiment of intrauterine device 60 in which the foldable plastic portion is identical to that of the embodiment of FIGS. 1 through 4, having radially projecting legs 62, 64, 66 and 68 joined to a central core 70 by flexible webs 72 which serve as hinges. In this embodiment, however, an integral elongated guide member, such as the guide mem ber 26 of the device 10, is not employed. Instead, the guide member is in the form of a flexible ball chain 74 composed of small balls or beads made of a heavy metal such as copper or zinc, which is recognized for its contraceptive properties.
The ball chain 74 may be tied by strong thread to the central core 70 so as to depend centrally from the device 60, but it is preferred to provide the central core 70 with a small opening 76 (FIG. 8) through which is forced the uppermost ball 78 of the chain 74 for pennanently mounting the chain centrally between the legs of the device 60. The chain 74 is sized to be received within the top of the insertion tube 28 in the manner shown in FIG. 9and acts as a guide member during the insertion operation of the device, as previously described. The thread. or suture 30 is attached to the bottom of the chain 74, and again threads 32 and 34 are connected to the ends of the arms 68 and 66.
The device 60 is inserted within the uterus in the same manner as described in connection with device 10, and assumes the same inserted position therein shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. It will be appreciated that when the device 60 is in this inserted position, the uppermost chain ball 78 will lie against the wall 42 of the fundal dome, while the remainder'of the chain will hang down, extending from the fundus region to the isthmus region of the uterus. The metal will therefore be located in various regions in which the chemical action produced thereby will be most effective.
The use of metal balls in the device 60 provides a number of advantages. The spherical surfaces present the maximum amount of surface area to body fluids for chemical reaction, and if the metal tends to dissolve, the possibility of leaving sharp or ragged edges is minimized. In addition, the ball chain has a very high degree of flexibility, much greater, for example, than the springs or sleeves previously used. Further by providing a chain of individual metal balls, the various balls of the chains may be made of different metals and thus create either chemical or electrical reactions for optimum effectiveness.
If a ball chain is to be added to a completed device 10 of the type shown in FIG. 1, it is only necessary to tie or otherwise attach the chain to the cylindrical guide member 26. It will also be appreciated that heavy metal can be added to the device 10 by attaching an individual metal ball to the end of each of the legs l4, 16, 18 and 20. I
As previously indicated, it has been found that the greater the exposed surface area of an intrauterine device, the more effective the device proved in inhibiting pregnancies. As an added feature of the device of the present invention, a flexible membrane may be attached to either of the devices 10 or 60 to provide a large surface area. FIG. 10 shows, for example, a thin flexible membrane secured to the device 60. The membrane 80 is made of thin plastic sheet material, for example a sheet of polyethylene so that it is extremely flexible and will fold up into compact form during insertion of the device. The membrane 80 may be made in the circular form shown, and is secured, by heat sealing or the like, to the under faces of the legs 62, 64, 66 and 68.
' When the device is brought to its collapsed position for insertion in the uterus, the thin flexible membrane folds up into compact form in the manner of a parasol, as shown in FIG. 11. When the device is in inserted position within the uterine cavity 44, as shown in FIG. 12, with the legs 66 and 68 in extended position, the halfsections of the membrane 80 remain folded downwardly as shown, being compressed between the side walls 50 and 52 of the uterus, and making extensive surface contact with said side walls.
Where a membrane is employed in the device, it is not necessary to provide four or more legs. FIG. 13 shows a modified embodiment of device which has only two legs 92 and 94 supporting a membrane 96. In this instance, the device 90 may be formed as an integral unit with the membrane. The legs 92 and 94 are formed of a single cylindrical length of flexible plastic material from the center of which, constituting the central core of the device, depends an integral guide member, in the form of a cylindrical rod 96. The membrane 98 is molded integrally with the under surface of legs 92 and 94 and is sufficiently thin that it will fold up readily. The membrane may be made of the elliptical shape, as shown, and at its center may be provided with an opening 100. The opening 100 exposes the central core portionat the junction of legs 92 and 94, providing a cross bar to which the'thread 30 may be tied. A chain of metal balls may also be tied thereto.
The threads or sutures 32 and 34 are attached to the ends of legs 92 and 94, and when these threads are ten-' sioned during the insertion operation, the legs 92 and 94 will bend downwardly toward each other about the central core portion which provides a hinge because of the flexible-n'ature-of the plastic material. The membrane 98 folds up in the same manner as shown in FIG. 11.
In the inserted position of the device 90, shown in FIG. 14, the extended legs 92 and 94 he along the uterine cavity top wall 42, while the half sections of the membrane 98 remain folded downwardly from said legs between the uterus side walls 50 and 52 to provide a large surface area of contact.
The intrauterine contraceptive devices shown herein combine the advantageous features of presenting a three-dimensional configuration, a thin rib or leg structure for easy insertion, the incorporation of heavy metal in the form of metal balls for improved contraceptive efficiency, and the presentation of a large surface area of contact by means of the membrane for further contraceptive effectiveness. All of these desirable features may be combined in a single unit which provides minimum expulsion tendencies and minimum potential injury or harmful side effects.
While preferred embodiments of the invention have been shown and described herein, it is obvious that numerous omissions, changes and additions may be made in such embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
What is claimed is: 1. An intrauterine contraceptive device comprising a central body portion an elongated guide member mounted on said central body portion and depending therefrom, and two pairs of elongated leg members hingedly connected to said central body portion and having a normal extended position in which they project radially therefrom and in a direction perpendicular to the axis of said guide member, each of said leg members having a channel shaped outer portion and an inner portion of reduced cross-sectional extent providing flexible hinge means for downward bending movement of said leg members relative to said central body portion to a retracted position in which said leg members are substantially parallel to and lie along said guide member to provide a small compact configuration for insertion of said device into the uterus.

JACKSON, Tenn. (AP) -- Festivities are being planned to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the birth of famed railroad engineer Casey Jones in Jackson on March 14.
Lawrence Taylor, director of the Casey Jones Home & Railroad Museum in Jackson, says Jones' 150th birthday presents a special opportunity for railroad buffs and fans of Tennessee folklore to honor him.
Jones, who lived in Jackson, became an internationally known hero after he slowed the Cannonball Express before it collided into a stalled freight train near Vaughan, Miss. His passengers survived but he was killed from the impact. A song titled "The Ballad of Casey Jones" has immortalized him.
The celebration at the museum will include educational activities, a presentation of proclamations in honor of Jones, and entertainment provided by an old-time music preservation club.
