PATENTED HAR 2 I971 SHEET 1 OF 2 PATENTEDHAR 219m 3566330 saw 2 OF 2 jemlAzksc/zzei MEANS FOR STERHLELY TRANSFEING BLOW) PLASMA, SERUM, lBiGlLOGllCAIL R PHARMACEUTECAL FUlililS, AND THE lLlKE The invention herein while described specifically in connection with the transfer of blood plasma is equally applicable to the transfer of serum, biological or pharmaceutical fluids and the like under sterile conditions.
in the conventional practice well known in the art for transfer-ring blood plasma or serum, the blood is placed into an individual container which contains the anticoagulents. The blood is then centrifuged so that the blood plasma or serum separates from the whole blood in said container. The container is-then connected by an individual conduit or tube to a pooling container and the blood plasma or serum is passed from the individual container into the pooling container. This practice is repeated with each individual container until a sufficient amount of blood plasma or serum is collected in the pooling container. Each of the individual conduits or tubes has at its outer end a terminal coupler'which is inserted into the rubber plug or stopper used to close the pooling container. Thus, every time a conduit is connected to the plug, the plug is punctured, which means that the plug or stopper of the pooling container is repeatedly punctured. All of this must be performed under sterile conditions. The foregoing procedures require considerable handling and increases the danger of contamination.
The present invention eliminates the foregoing objectionable features in that there is provided a manifold having a plurality of conduits, each of which is connectable to an individual container. The manifold has a single outlet which is connectable to a pooling container. Thus, the outlet terminal coupler is inserted into a plug or stopper of the pooling container only once and the plasma or serum from the individual containers pass through their respective individual conduits or tubes to the manifold and from the manifold through the outlet conduit or tube to the pooling container. The apparatus has a one-time use and is discarded after such use. It is relatively inexpensive to produce. It is made of principally of a flexible collapsible material such as plastic which is inert, non toxic, and hemorepellant.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS In the drawings:
HG. l is a perspective view of one embodiment of this invention in which the individual containers in which the blood is stored are in the form of bottles, and showing the manifold with the individual conduits or tubes each connected to a respective container, and with the outlet conduit or tube connected to a pooling container.
H6. 2 is an enlarged plan view taken on line 2-2 of H0. 1.
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken on line 3-3 of MG. 2.
FlG. 4 is a sectional view taken on line of FIG. 2.
FlG. d is a view of a modification in inverted position from that of FIG. 1, showing a plurality of manifolds each with a plurality of conduits and in which the manifolds may be separated from each other.
MG. 6 is an enlarged view taken on line 6-6 of FIG. 5.
FIG. 7 is enlarged sectional view taken on line 7-7 of FIG. 6; and
FIG. 53 shows a conventional individual flexible blood bag or container for containing the individual stored blood which may be used in lieu of the rigid container or bottle shown in FIG. 1.
DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS The sterile conditions under which the apparatus is used makes it necessary that the apparatus used in the transfer of the plasma or serum as herein described, is of a disposable nature. In other words, once the apparatus has been used for the transfer of the blood plasma or serum it is not used again and is disposed of therefore, it is made at a cost which is not prohibitive to preclude its being disposed of after each use.
of these containers is used to separately contain the blood from an individual donor, as is well understood. As best seen in PEG. 4, the rubber plug or stopper l3 seals and closes said mouth opening of the neck of the container has an annular flange 14 which seats against the top of the bottle. The plug 13 has a recessed or hollow portion 15 which communicates with a rupturable portion which when manually ruptured or pierced will provide an air opening orvent R6.
The pooling or collecting container which is indicated by the numeral 18 is a larger container in contrast to the individual smaller containers l0 and is likewise closed with a rubber plug or stopper 20, similar to that described in connection with the individual containers. Before the plasma is passed from the individual container 10 to the pooling container 18 the blood in the container 10 is centrifuged by the conventional method to cause the blood plasma or serum to separate from the blood. The blood plasma will comprise the upper liquid in each container 10. The pooling container 18 has a vacuum so that the blood plasma from the individual container 10 will pass through the individual conduit or tube to the pooling container.
The invention herein comprises a manifold generally designated by the numeral 22 to which are connected a plurality of spaced conduits or tubes 24 along substantially the length of said manifold. The manifold 22 and the conduits or tubes 24 are made preferably of a flexible plastic material, similar to the material which is now used in the art and indentified as a blood bag. The material forming the manifold and the conduits is of a flexible collapsible material, which is insert, non toxic, hemorepellant plastic, such as polyvinyl chloride of medical grade quality. Extending from the opposite ends of the manifold are extensions 23 which are provided with openings 23a. This permits the manifold to be supported or hung on hooks H which engage the openings 23a. As best shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 3, the manifold 22 is integrally formed with the flexible conduits 24.
As best seen in FIG. 3, the conduit 24 is enlarged at its upper end and inclines outwardly to form a truncated coneshaped junction 26 with the bottom of the manifold. A balltype check valve 28 is lodged in the junction 26 and is adapted to seat in the upper end of the conduit 24 adjacent the junction 26 to block the flow or passage of the blood plasma or serum from the conduit 24 to the manifold 22. To unblock the conduit 24 manual finger pressure is applied on the conduit below the ball valve 28 to force it to unseat and move upwardly to the junction and/or the manifold as shown in FIG. 3, to permit the passage of the blood plasma or serum therethrough into the manifold.
As shown in FIG. 4, a terminal coupler generally designated by the numeral 32 is connected to the lower end of each of the conduits or tubes 24. Said terminal coupler includes a hollow stem 34 which is integrally formed with a flange 36. A cannula 38 is formed integral with the stem and communicates with the interior of the hollow stem 34. The outer end of the cannula has a tapered or pointed end 40. The stem 34 is connected to the conduit 24.
The outlet end of the manifold 22 has a flexible conduit or tube 42 which is integrally formed with the manifold and is provided with a truncated-shaped junction 44 therebetween, indentical to the junction 26 previously described. A terminal coupler generally indicated at 46, identical to the coupler 32 is secured to the outlet end of conduit 42;. The cannula 43 of said coupler is inserted into the plug or stopper 20 of the pooling container id, similar to the insertion of the cannula 38 in the stopper 13.
in transferring the plasma or serum, the individual containers 1d are lined up and connected the apparatus forming this invention, in the manner shown in FIG. 2. The outlet conduit 42 is connected to the pooling container 18. The vacuum in the pooling container 18 will cause the plasma in the individual containers to be drawn up through their respective conduits 24 into the manifold 22 and from the manifold discharged through the outlet conduit 42 into the pooling container 18. it is preferably advisable to have the plasma from each of the individual containers pass into the manifold separately. Thus, for example, if the plasma is being withdrawn and transferred into the manifold from the first container the ball valve in the first container conduit 24 is manipulated out of the junction 26 to permit the flow of the plasma from the first container through the conduit 24 to the manifold until the plasma is withdrawn from the first container. During this procedure the ball valves in the remaining conduits will remain in their seated position to block passage of the plasma from the remaining containers 19. This procedure is repeated with respect to each container until such time that enough plasma has been transferred to the pooling container 18.
FIGS. 5, 6 and 7 show the modified construction in which a plurality of manifolds 22' are connected together, each manifold being identical to that previously described. Each manifold is a separate entity and is sealed from the other connected manifolds, as best shown in FIG. 7 by joined connecting strips 50 which may have a centered weakened line. Thus, if it is desired to remove one of the manifolds from the others, the strip 50 is torn along the weakened line thereof and this will separate the manifold from the other manifolds. Each manifold is integrally formed with a plurality of conduits or tubes 24' with junctions 26' and with ball valves 28' positioned therein.
FIG. 7 shows the seating of the ball valve in the conduit 24 to block the flow of the plasma. The ball valve 28 previously described would be similarly seated in the conduits 24. Each conduit 24 has a terminal coupler 32, as previously described. The cap 52 shown in FIG. 7 is detachably secured to the terminal coupler for protecting the cannula 38. In the FIG. embodiment the cannulae 38 would be connnected to the individual containers and the outlet conduit 42' would be connected to the pooling container 18, as previously described.
in lieu of the rigid blood containers 10 described, a flexible collapsible storage container or blood bag, such as shown in FIG. 8 may be used. It is of conventional construction and is identified by the numeral 54. It has a tube 56 terminating with a phlebotomy needle 58. A ball valve 60 is positioned between the tube 60 and bag 54. The bag is made of the same material as previously described in connection with the manifolds 22 and conduits 24. The blood bag 54 has a pair of outlet ports 62, each closed by a diaphragm 64. The conduit 24a here shown, which is joined to the manifold as previously described, has a terminal coupler 66 in the form of a hollow spear which when pressed against the diaphragm 64 punctures the diaphragm to permit insertion of the spear into the bag 54. By manually squeezing the bag 54 the blood plasma in the bag will pass through the spear 66, through conduit 240 into the manifold and then out of the outlet conduit into the pooling container 18.
A further modification may be used of a single manifold connected with a plurality of rows of conduits, similar to that shown in FIG. 5, with a plurality of outlet conduits. This lastmentioned modification would be like that shown in FlG. 5, except that instead of the three manifolds, all the conduits would be connected to a single manifold having substantially the width of the three manifolds shown.
With the arrangement of the invention shown herein the plasma from a plurality of individual bottles or bags is passed into a single manifold and from that manifold is passed into a pooling container.
The invention herein shown may be used conversely if so desired; that is, the flow of a fluid may be from a single container or reservoir, similar to the pooling container 18, through the conduit 42, through the manifold 22, to and through the individual conduits 24, to the individual containers 10 or bags 54. I
While the invention is shown and described specifically in connection with the transfer of blood plasma or serum, it could be used to transfer any biological or pharmaceutical fluid sterilely. The term fluid" or fluids in the claims is intended to embrace all of the foregoing since they are all sterilely transferred.
It will be understood that various changes and modifications may be made from the foregoing without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
I claim:
1. A disposable single use apparatus for sterilely transferring blood plasma, serum, biological or pharmaceutical fluids and the like from a plurality of separate individual containers to a pooling container, said apparatus comprising a manifold formed of a generally flat elongated member sealed along its length and sealed at each end, a plurality of branch conduits formed integrally with said manifold and each connected at one end to said manifold at longitudinally spaced points on said manifold, each of said conduits having connected at its opposite end a coupler adapted for connection to a respective container, an end branch conduit on said manifold being connected to the pooling container, and the remainder of said conduits being connected to respective individual containers, valve means connected to each branch conduit for controlling the flow through said branch conduit, said manifold and said conduits being formed of flexible, inert. nontoxic and hemorepellant material.
2. The invention as defined in claim 1, including means at each end of said manifold for connection to support means for said manifold.

Game Night 4/18: Capitals at LightningSubmitted by pete on April 18, 2006 - 21:10
The Lightning may live to regret having treated this game like a preseason tilt. WAS-4 TB-1 From the lack of any significant effort along the boards to John Tortorella's decision to rotate his goaltenders mid game, this had the feel of an exhibition. Problem is, no one told the Caps. As a consequence, the Lightning lost the opportunity to move into the 7th seed in the East due to Montreal's loss to New Jersey tonight. Instead, the Lightning are now the #8 seed and rather than playing Carolina they will have an opponent they don't match up as well with: the Ottawa Senators. Ryan Craig finished off the regular season of his rookie campaign off with a power play assist. Paul Ranger was -1 in 22:07 with 3 shots on goal, 1 hit and 3 blocked shots. Timo Helbling, filling in for a resting Pavel Kubina, was -1 in 16:20 with 1 shot, 3 hits and 3 blocked shots. Craig was even in 15:27 with 4 shots on goal. Evgeny Artyukhin was even in 9:09 with 1 shot and 1 hit. In addition to playoff matchups, by night's end we should have a good idea of what pick the Lightning will receive in the June entry draft.

E-Mail for a Thrashers Homer
To: firstname.lastname@example.com From: Pete Choquette and the Bolt Prospects.com Staff Subject: Nice Choke Holly, It's hard to believe the Thrashers, with the might of former HF Top-50 Prospect Garnett Exelby and his obvious greatness in the lineup, could choke so hard when the chips were down. Don't worry, there's always the lottery to look forward to determine when the Thrashers will select the next prospect you'll grossly overrate. Of course, on that day, some of the Lightning's prospects (you know, the ones you regularly abuse your position to take a crap on) will still be playing hockey in the playoffs, not that anyone associated with "Blue Land" (they certainly "blue" tonight didn't they?) would know anything about playoffs. Hugs and kisses from your pals, The Bolt Prospects.com Staff

Thrashers Choke, Lightning InSubmitted by pete on April 17, 2006 - 20:45
In the words of Nelson from the Simpsons, [url=http://www.nhl.com/scores/htmlreports/20052006/GS021215.HTM]"Haaaa haaaa!"[/url] [img]http://www.saintsok.com/pages/medicallibrary/choke1.gif[/img] The Washington Capitals defeated the Atlanta Thrashers tonight to eliminate Atlanta from postseason contention and insure the Lightning a spot in the Stanley Cup playoffs. At present, the Lightning hold the #8 seed in the East, but if Montreal fails to pick up two points tomorrow night the Lightning could move up to the #7 seed in their final game.

Is this the best way to share broadband coverage around thee house? At least this avoids cables trailing around the house. Is the reception close to each socket likely to be the same as near the central router? Help please, before I spend my money and then find it doesn't work as advertised!

I know many people who use these home plugs and they work very well. If you opt for plugs with ethernet connections then there should not be any discernible difference in speed that you get from connecting directly to the router. Wifi connections usually are slower even when they are from the main router so you will more than likely have a reduced speed if you opt for these. Try and get home plugs with mains through sockets so you still have a power point available to use after you have plugged them in. Remember that they are portable too so you can physically move them around to different points in the house.
I have not used these myself so cannot personally recommend a specific brand but no doubt you will get some recommendations from other posters.

I have used a number of types of Power plugs. I am currently using mainly 'Devolo' as these are simple plug and play. They work without any problems and I move them around the house depending on the need. remember that the slowest rated one will determine the speed of all the others. I use only 500MBps ratede plugs so that is not a problem

How amazingly providential, then that we now have two popes: Pope Francis and Pope Emeritus Benedict! Pope Benedict following the Benedictine way by retiring to a life of prayer, study and work while Pope Francis steps on to the world stage to live the life of activity, reform and renewal. The two popes are meeting today, and I am convinced that when Pope Benedict moves to his hermitage in the Vatican, that the two of them will meet on a regular basis to support one another as brothers in arms.

GREENVILLE, SC (Catholic Online) - (From the Editor in Chief: Popular writer Fr Dwight Longenecker provides a
free weekly newsletter on the practical practice of the Catholic faith.
FaithWorks! has articles on prayer, resources for the spiritual life
and advice on how to walk more closely with Christ. Go here to subscribe)
The long papacy of John Paul II means that many of us have not lived with a variety of popes. Now, within eight years we have gotten used to three popes, and with the retirement of Pope Benedict, some Catholics are finding it difficult to accept Pope Francis.
It's therefore helpful to remember that in the divine economy the saints all have different parts to play according to their own charisms and personalities. St Therese of Lisieux wrote, "How different are the variety of ways through which the Lord leads souls! Souls are as different as faces!" The variety of saints are like different flowers, trees and shrubs in a garden. Studying the saints helps us understand God's wonderful ways of working in the world. Therefore looking at St Benedict and St Francis will help us see how Pope Benedict and Pope Francis complement one another.
St Benedict was born into a society in chaos. At the end of the fifth century the Roman Empire was crumbling. The Roman world had drifted into decadence, despair and pessimism. The armies had been pulled back and the barbarians were invading. In the midst of the encroaching darkness Benedict established little core communities of radical disciples. Men withdrew from the world with Benedict to live quiet lives of prayer, study and work. Those core communities became the seeds of what flowered into the great civilization we know as medieval Christendom.
As we understand St Benedict we will understand Pope Benedict. Joseph Ratzinger has always been a reserved and scholarly person. When he was elected pope he admitted that he had been looking forward to retiring to a little house to live with his brother in obscurity. When he took the name "Benedict" Joseph Ratzinger was doing more than identifying with his predecessor Benedict XV. He was also doing more than identifying the great saint who is the patron of Europe and the founder of the Benedictine order.
By taking the name Benedict, Joseph Ratzinger was also embracing a monastic way of looking at the world. Despite being on the world stage as pope, Benedict XVI was always essentially a reserved, scholarly and retiring man. We should not be surprised that he made history by retiring from the papacy. With hindsight we can see that it was on the cards from the beginning of his papacy.
What gifts did Benedict XVI bring to the Petrine Office? He brought the Benedictine love of beauty and tradition in the liturgy. He contributed the Benedictine love of study, scholarship and teaching. He brought a quiet, studious and prayerful mood to the papacy. He brought reverence and respect and a depth of dignity to the celebration of Mass and the church's work in the world. Anyone who has visited a Benedictine monastery will notice this same mood reflected in the papacy of Benedict.
What about St Francis? Francis was also born into a church in chaos. In the twelfth century the Catholic Church was besieged by corruption from within and threatened with persecution from without. St Francis came on the scene with his famous vow of poverty, a life of joyful simplicity and an outgoing personality. Francis also followed the religious life, but it was lived out not in a Benedictine monastery, but in the burgeoning cities and in wandering through the world.
As we saw St Benedict alive in Pope Benedict, so we are already seeing, (and can expect to see more of) St Francis alive in Pope Francis. The two are not contradictory, but complementary, and the way to see how they work together is to see the big picture of the different gifts these two saints bring to the church, and therefore the different gifts each Pope will bring to the church.
As a friar, Francis represents the active religious life. As a monk, Benedict represents the enclosed life of prayer. They're like the two sisters of Bethany: Francis is the busy Martha. Benedict, the contemplative Mary. If the church is going to work she needs both. The body of Christ needs both.
How amazingly providential, then that we now have two popes: Pope Francis and Pope Emeritus Benedict! Pope Benedict following the Benedictine way by retiring to a life of prayer, study and work while Pope Francis steps on to the world stage to live the life of activity, reform and renewal. The two popes are meeting today, and I am convinced that when Pope Benedict moves to his hermitage in the Vatican, that the two of them will meet on a regular basis to support one another as brothers in arms.
Finally, there is a lesson for the whole church in the two popes: we all need to run on the path of God's commandments on these two legs: the contemplative and the active. We desperately need more time in prayer, more time in contemplation, more time with God. Then we also desperately need to get up off our knees and move forward to not only "talk the talk" but to "walk the walk" in the great adventure of following Christ the Lord.

That's really thinking at an impressive level
This piece was cogent, well-written, and pithy.
Wow, that sounds so fun!! I wish we could be so spntoaneous, but with school it's hard. Fun for us will be having junk food and playing a video game or having a movie marathon usually. I'm awful at surprises--either I ruin 'em or the circumstances do, it seems!!
It's really great that people are sharing this information.

They don't like him because he's clearly gay now, what with the pregnant girlfriend and the singing. (It's true, those are total gateways into rainbow gardens of leather daddies and twinks.) Hahaha — this reminds me so hard of HS when one of my
other's friends would get a gf and they'd all try to go
os-bef0re-hos and tell him, "You're gay! You're hanging out with a girl!" And my
other's Puck-ish friend would say, "I'm getting laid, and that's gay? Whereas hanging out with you dudes at the M&M and playing Moon Patrol and listening The Cars is NOT gay. Am I getting that straight (so to speak?)" I, too, found Will's dancing and Puck's strumming Neil Diamond to be standouts. There needs to be more Puck and an acoustic getting down with some 70s singer-songwriters.I also loved the derma
asion line. Oh, Ken.
Oh Dave! There are things, but they are spoilery, so I shall say them only in my head.Clown porn? Really? I almost dropped my Big Mac!! Also, where can this be found?[DRINK!]I cannot stress enough the wrongness of going to Emma in lessons on being cool.Will's ability to selectively remember his marriage never ceases to amaze me."I could have danced all night in my thong th-thong thong thong!" *NOTE: Stripper pole and dollar bills sold separately.**sigh* I miss micro-derma
asion….curse me for living in Ala-freaking-bama!OMG!!! I love Puckerman's guns….shoot me now!Are you sure we don't get 10 drinkgs, since they get 10 slushies?[DRINK]He may wear knee socks, but let's be fair…there was no way she was ever going to go there anyway, wedding or not.[DRINK]*taps bottom of big gulp* Dammit, all out!
SEO consists of many moving parts, and they are all intricate part of each other to complete the whole picture of SEO.If you are referring to a technique in SEO, then Link Building should be the most powerful technique in SEO. However, Link Building can't just exists all by itself as the most important technique, where it entails many fundamental elements within. In order to implement the most powerful technique (doesn't matter if it is Link Building or Content, or anything else), you need to start with the basics (explained below):Competitive Analysis should be the starting point of SEO. As far as SEO is concerned, this gives you the knowledge of what your competitors are focusing on, what keywords they are using, and/or may be dominating your market with.Once you have these keywords, your keyword analysis, as well as keyword research should be the second step. This, not only provides you the most viable keywords that you should be using, it also helps you set up your targeted internet marketing strategy.Having all this ammunition in hand, you are now set (to be able) to develop your unique, highly focused, optimized content (along with optimized titles, URLs, meta description, external linking, internal linking, optimized images, etc...)Besides all this, (without going into too much detail) you also have to use more technical techniques (per se) in your on-page SEO, such as W3C, Site Map, Google Sitemap, Canonical, etc.Once this is all done (in a nut shell), you are set with your on-page SEO. Then comes the Link Building, which is indeed a very important SEO Technique (to actually put you on the map).At the beginning of my answer, I mentioned that Link Building entails many other fundamentals, and the most important one is, of course, your keywords! You need to have this to implement an effective link building campaign by using anchor text. Needless to mention, Link Building also involves other factors such as varying your keywords, you link profile, authority, relevance, to mention just a few.Nevertheless, even though to my opinion, Link Building is the most important SEO technique, this doesn't mean competitive analysis is not, content is not, keyword research is not...! They are all important part of the big picture of SEO.
I have to demonstrate my personal due to this kind of copy writer exclusively for saving myself coming from this kind of environment. Because of
owsing from the the net and getting guidelines which are certainly not pleasurable, I figured my well being has been over. Living with no techniques to the issues you have resolved through all of your website is a critical scenario, in addition to versions which may have got poorly harmed my own entire profession easily had not discovered the website. Your primary expertise as well as goodness when controlling a lot of stuff ended up being very helpful. I'm not sure what I would have completed easily hadn't occur after this type of that. I'm also able to at this time stay up for my potential. Thank you much to your particular and wonderful support. My spouse and i won't think twice to be able to suggest your internet site in order to anybody who requirements recommendations relating to this subject matter.

The University of Arizona's Parking & Transportation Services (PTS) has decided to hold off on a planned increase to help alleviate the current financial burden on employees and students.Parking & Transportation Services has announced it will not increase permit prices by more than $100 as planned in July.The proposed increase of $116, the second in a series of three planned rate hikes that began with an approximate $50 across-the-board increase last year, has been temporarily put on hold to help relieve the burden on University of Arizona employees and students in tough economic times, said Bill Davidson, PTS marketing manager.The decision has many employees feeling grateful for the break at a time when cash is tight."I'm really happy," said Judy McElroy, director of health sciences contracts, who parks in the Highland Garage. "Insurance is going up, benefits, everything seems to be going up and our paychecks aren't going up."McElroy, who serves as the Appointed Professionals Advisory Council's parking committee representative, said she was able to park on campus for free when she started working at the UA 32 years ago.Currently, garage permits cost $568 a year, while other lot permits range from $468 to $353 annually.Prices were supposed to go up by $116 both this year and next year to help fund PTS sustainability measures and support the unit's goal to reduce the number of cars on campus that are only transporting one person. While Davidson said the increase remains necessary to PTS, a self-supporting unit, parking officials will delay it for now and reevaluate the state of the economy and the University's financial situation a year from now."It was a necessary thing to do for next year in the light of the economy," Davidson said. "By not having a fee increase, that's going to give everyone some help."The $50 increase in July helped PTS establish car- and bike-sharing programs on campus and add a new CatTran Route, in line with its goal to provide more sustainable transportation options, Davidson said.
While those programs will remain in place, other planned sustainability measures will have to be put on hold as a result of the delayed increase. That includes plans to increase the subsidy for Sun Tran bus passes, purchase larger CatTran vehicles and expand the UA's Park-N-Ride shuttle program from off-campus lots, Davidson said. Joan Feldman, a human resources manager who parks in Main Gate Garage, said she's glad the increase was delayed. "I think it's a generous offer on the part of the University, and I think it's good for everyone to look for ways to ease the burden on each other," she said.
Students at the university's "Startup Shell," a collaborative space and technology incubator, may compete in business competitions for potential investor grants from Uber. The partnership will also include mentoring opportunities and the creation of an "innovation council," which will include students, faculty and staff, for crowdsourcing and development.
Matt Carpenter has more than 15 years of experience in the transit industry, including the past eight as CEO of Strathcona County Transit in the Edmonton area. He has a master's degree in urban planning from the University of Michigan, where he studied from 2001 to 2003.
Executive Order 8 addresses Illinois' fiscal crisis by recommending that state agencies require employees, whenever possible, to take public transportation or carpool when traveling. The state hopes this action will reduce travel reimbursements in gas money.
The university recently issued an RFQ and is evaluating potential locations. Four of its new buses are powered by CNG, and the school says it sees a benefit to converting more of its vehicles to alternative fuels.
In his new role, Jerry Rineer works with Villanova students who have mobility issues, providing support for them as they make their way across the 254-acre campus. The private university, which has a total enrollment of about 10,700, has a large fleet of vans and other vehicles to serve its students.

fungus gnats - hot water?
Was over on the houseplant forum and came across some threads dealing with fungus gnats and control measures, one of which was to use hot water - not burning hot, but the kind of hot where you can only keep your hand under the stream for 15 to 30 seconds........ and to use this to water. Supposedly it kills the suckers, but wondering if it would be good for my cp's (I have 3 neps, 2 sundews) The other options were to let the soil dry out (not an option), top the pots with dry gravel or perlite so that the eggs couldn't be laid, to use chemicals, or to use something called 'mosquito dunk' - sticky strips, but then why bother with the last when you have sundews? lol I've got LOTS of aquarium gravel hanging around so might try that. Any opinions? What all do you do for gnats? Thanks.....
Hello sakmeht,
I find Neem oil extract with pyrethrines to be useful to spray on the soil when you see larvae wriggling around on the surface. I had to do that for the Nepenthes as every time I watered the larvae came up to breathe. I did not want them chewing all the roots up... The rest of the gnats I let hatch so they feed my sundews. The oversized water trays are great gnat killers too. Gnats have no sense when it comes to avoiding drowning, or plants that eat them.
I would avoid the hot water idea as some carnivorous plants might not enjoy having their roots boiled. Some actually prefer their roots cool and die rather quickly when they are overheated.
i agree with Mutant Hybrid, it seems like too much a risk to use hot water when we have things like neem oil at our disposal.
why don't you just keep a ton of pings and sundews? i actually hope my gnat population won't go down so that their nasty children can be food for my pings.
i grow orchids in semi hydro but have not experimented with planting CPs in it yet. when my nepenthes are ready for me to take cuttings, i will plant the established cuttings into s/h
i'll tell you how it goes

From the NYMetro Special Parent Spring/Summer 2014 issues comes a selection of thought-provoking quotes about special needs parenting, including one dad's take on miniscule milestones, optimism about autism, and an introduction to the new accessible icon.
IT'S FAR MORE IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHAT PERSON THE DISEASE HAS THAN WHAT DISEASE THE PERSON HAS.—Hippocrates
"I take nothing for granted.... [I've] reveled in the fact that my son for the first time tracked the dog with his eyes while she ran around the backyard. Or celebrated my son getting potty trained (for the 3rd time).... Or trying a new food with a different texture. These are miniscule milestones in a typical parent's life, and in the grand scheme of things may be small milestones in Kyle's life, but they are worth noticing and celebrating…"
—Autism Daddy (@AutismDaddyFB), a New York father of a 10-year-old son who has autism and epilepsy, on his blog (autism-daddy.blogspot.com), in a post he wrote on a particularly rough day—so he turned the table on autism and ID'd the "Top 10 Benefits of Having a Kid with Classic/Severe Autism," a must-read for anyone out there whose life is affected by autism…and whose sense of humor is fully intact! Recently named "Best on Facebook" by Parents magazine, Autism Daddy promised to keep on telling us "all about our lives…with no filter…no sugar coating…no sunshine and rainbows…just tell you all about the good, the bad, and the pee…"—and for that, we thank him.
Sign of the Times
"If the icon does anything to help society re-imagine the more engaged role that people with disabilities might play in society, then it will help pave the way for their inclusion in education, the job market, and society in general."
—Brian Glenney, Ph.D., co-founder of The Accessible Icon Project which created this new handicapped sign, depicting a person in an action pose with a clear sense of self-navigation—it will begin appearing in New York City this summer thanks in large part to Victor Calise, commissioner of the Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities. The design is also part of the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection (historic!). If the new signage hasn't been officially adopted where you live, check out ways that forward-thinking folks are getting it out there anyway at accessibleicon.org.
We want Norrin to be as independent as possible.... But independence can be messy.
—Lisa Quinones-Fontanez (@LaliQuin), a Bronx mother of a young child who has autism, on the "To the Max" blog: parents.com/blogs/to-the-max; Quinones-Fontanez also writes at Autism Wonderland (autismwonderland.com), one of Babble.com's top 30 autism blogs
"While I don't want to ignore the difficulties [of Asperger's], I do want to celebrate the strengths of the superconnected mind."
—Frank Gaskill, Ph.D., author, with Ryan Kelly, of the graphic novel "Max Gamer: Aspie Superhero," illustrated by Kara Dahlheimer, of which the second issue is due out this spring; the book can be purchased at maxgameronline.com, or digital versions are available for all devices at comixology.com

Sterling silver tarnishing in dishwasher...didn't before??!!
I have always run my everyday sterling silver through the dishwasher. For years!! And have used liquid Cascade.
Recently I switched to the little gel pack pods of Cascade, and all my silver has violently (!) tarnished??!!
It never had before, and I am just wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing??
Yes, I know hand washing is preferred, but this is just ordinary patterned hand-me -down stuff that I do prefer, as opposed to the stainless steel, and I know that if I couldn't dishwasher it, I wouldn't use it.
HELP!! thanks!
Not with silver (haven't used it lately), but yes, I have noticed this with the cascade complete powder and stainless steel. All my stainless is coming out very slightly tarnished and it never did before. Our water here hasn't changed, so I'm guessing something in Cascade did.
But weissman, that was years ago. I'm talking about a change between the previous box and the current one.
Finish is not available where I live, but thanks for the suggestion.
EDIT And I should mention that for me, my stainless flatware is fine. It's kitchen utensils that are discoloring now.
This post was edited by writersblock on Wed, Jun 12, 13 at 22:45
I've noticed the same thing with my grandmother's old silver plate, which I use for everyday and never thought of as sterling. I just got a new Bosch DW and have used Finish Quantum a couple of times (came free with the DW), but since I have a large supply of Cascade Complete from Costco (and which the DW installer said is fine to use) I've mostly been using that.
So, same water, same detergent, yet a definite darkening of the silverware. Is the Bosch punishing me for pre-rinsing and not putting truly filthy dishes into its torture chamber? Back in the day, I had to abandon using something like 7th Generation because it turned all the silverware black.
Just unloading silver, china and crystal from a luncheon yeasterday. Half of a Method grapefruit-rose Smarty tab. Sparkling clean and great fragrance -- no chemical smell. For heavy soil loads with pots and pans I use 1 Finish Quantum.
Walmart has the Quantum and Target has the Method. Amazon has Method. Dump the Cascade. Life's too short.
"But weissman, that was years ago."
Not everywhere.
There is no way to tell what changes the manufacturer might have made.
Some formulations of the 'no phosphate' detergents have been pretty bad.
I would bet money the manufacturers are trying to make them perform like they used to.
New things create new problems.
Any input on Seventh Generation? It's one of the few available easily to me that gets a good rating from EWG.
EDIT I don't care for their sink dishwashing soap, no matter how good it's supposed to be for the environment, which is why I ask.
This post was edited by writersblock on Sun, Jun 16, 13 at 17:29
Rococo, how is your silverware faring? I wonder if it's darkened, as some of ours has, that you have to manually polish it and then go from there. Is there actually a DW detergent that will undo the darkening?
Writer, years ago I used Seventh Generation liquid because it made me feel good about the environment. However my silver went to hell so I stopped. That was a good 7-8 years ago.
Linelle, I've always kept mine in the silver-cloth rolls in came in. I don't do much polishing -- they seem to be pretty good.
Silver can tarnish/corrode in contact with table salt, of course. While there are string of sodium-this and sodium thats in the Method tabs ingredient list, it all came out sparkling. I do use china/crystal cycle so nothing is being washed for a very long time or in water above lukewarm. May make a difference.
When in doubt (like with my gold-rim dishes) I do a load without adding detergent. I was surprised that things got just as clean LOL.
No idea about the others. I'm not a fan of powders.
This post was edited by rococogurl on Sun, Jun 16, 13 at 18:25
Rococo, do you use the china/crystal cycle for everything? I don't have that option on my DW, but since I'm regressing back to being a pre-rinser, I probably don't need a lot of detergent, a very high temperature or long cycle, for that matter.
Hello, I'm Linelle, and I'm a Pre-Rinser. Sue me.

BFS Scheduler Update Brings SMT Nice Support
Published on 16 August 2014 08:10 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
Linux Kernel
12 Comments
Con Kolivas released a new version of his BFS scheduler and besides porting it for Linux 3.16 compatibility it also contains a big new feature.
BFS CPU scheduler v0.450 made a Saturday morning premiere and it offers support for Linux 3.16, offers various bug-fixes, and brings configurable SMT nice support.
About the SMT nice support, Con explains, "Enabling Hyperthreading on Intel CPUs decreases the effectiveness of the use of 'nice' levels and different scheduling policies (e.g. realtime) due to sharing of CPU power between hyperthreads. SMT nice support makes each logical CPU aware of what is running on its hyperthread siblings, maintaining appropriate distribution of CPU according to nice levels and scheduling policies at the expense of slightly increased overhead."
Con's SMT nice support for BFS dates to an idea he originally expressed ten years ago.
More details on Brain Fuck Scheduler v0.450 can be found via

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Fault Lines on the city's homelessness crisis
13 Jan 2014 08:01 GMT | Human Rights, Africa, South Africa
The South Africa 'Up' series follows the personal journeys of a diverse range of young South Africans, born in the apartheid era. In 28Up we revisit them in 2013 where, at age 28, they talk about their lives and adult relationships.
Everything has changed from when I was seven. What was a fully functioning country … everything was working. The money went to the right places. It was allocated correctly. It was actually spent correctly. Everything has gone haywire.
While some have remained consistent, others have suffered emotional setbacks with their relationships.
Career, race and religion also still play a central role in the lives of many of the characters.
Olwetu is a successful radio host and businesswoman, who is married with children, but there is trouble in her rural community and, by the end of the film, her family faces a huge crisis. They will have to flee out of fear for their lives when local politics targets them.
Lizette's 'perfect' life that she spoke about at age 21 has proved to be less than ideal. Her marriage to Greg is over and she is once again living with her parents in their very crowded home, running the family business. But after hitting a low point during her divorce a few years back, she is now in a new relationship and is as optimistic as ever.
Tienie has experienced big changes in his life, including casting off his hedonistic lifestyle for a committed relationship, a marriage and a significant re-connection with his faith. His views about the world, including race and politics, have shifted dramatically as he faces up to his racist upbringing and decides to make his own decisions.
Lunga has always had an interesting relationship with issues of race, having grown up in mixed communities and circumstances. He dropped out of university after 21Up and is still looking for his 'thing'. He is now in a relationship and they are contemplating their future together.
Editor's note: This is part of a series of eight films that follows the characters at age 7, 14, 21 and 28. We no longer have rights to show this series on our website.

Sir Ranulph to attempt 'toughest footrace on earth'
Veteran explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes will take on "the toughest footrace on Earth" in April - the Marathon des Sables in Morocco - in a bid to raise millions for charity and become the oldest Briton ever to complete the race.
Sir Ranulph, who turns 71 in March, must run 156 miles across the Sahara in 50C heat to complete the six-day ultramarathon.
He hopes to raise £2.5 million for Marie Curie, which provides care and support to terminally ill people and their families across the UK.
Fiennes 'frustrated' as frostbite ends expedition
Sir Ranulph Fiennes says he has been left "frustrated" at being forced to pull out of an Antarctica expedition because of frostbite. The adventurer was injured after a fall at a base camp and developed frostbite after taking off his outer gloves in temperatures of -33 celsius.
Speaking after arriving back in the UK, Fiennes explained how the expedition had been five years in the planning.
A Royal goodbye for the Ice Team
Prince Charles has given his royal seal of approval to the Ice Team before they embarked upon their mission to walk across Antarctica during the coldest time of the year. The Prince of Wales is the patron of the Antarctic Winter Crossing Expedition 2012.
Ice team sets off on Antarctic challenge
The six man team who will attempt to walk across Antartica over the next six months have set sail on their ship the SA Agulhas.
Brian Newham, Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Ian Prickett, Spencer Swirl, Richmond Dykes and Dr Robert Lambert hope to raise more than six million pounds for charity.
Sir Ranulph Fiennes to set off for coldest journey on Earth
The world's greatest living explorer, Sir Ranulph Fiennes, is receiving a royal send off from Prince Charles as he begins his latest record breaking challenge. He's attempting to become the first person to cross the Antarctic on foot during winter.
The expedition will take place in temperatures as low as -70C, much of it in total darkness. Our Science Editor Lawrence McGinty has been to meet him.
Equipment-carrying machinery heading to the Antarctic
Sir Ranulph and his five-man team will cross the continent during winter over a six-month period. Going with them will be two machines to help carry their equipment.
Joanna Lumley joins Sir Ranulph in Antarctic send-off
Celebrity supporter Joanna Lumley joined Sir Ranulph Fiennes by the bank of the River Thames in central London today in the final hours before his expedition across the Antarctic gets underway.
Fiennes: 'There will be no one to rescue us in the Antarctic'
Adventurer Sir Ranulph Fiennes has told Daybreak that it took four years to get a permit to go to the Antarctic in the winter.
He said: "The Foreign Office don't let British subjects down there because there are no rescue facilities on an area bigger than China and India put together
"So if you need rescue you just don't get rescued."
Fiennes to cross Antarctica
Fiennes to undertake six-month Antarctic expedition
- The name of the expedition is called 'The Coldest Journey'.
- The expedition will begin on 21 March 2013 at the winter equinox.
- It will take six months in total - crossing Antarctica to reach the Ross Sea and has taken 5 years to plan.
- Fiennes is aiming to travel 2,000 miles across the continent over six months, mostly in complete darkness and in temperatures approaching -90C.
- The SA Agulhas will take on board technical equipment and supplies including two 20-tonne tractors, two cabooses, scientific equipment, fuel sleds, specially heated clothing and Antarctic cold weather gear, and a variety of food supplies.
