Beautiful analysis bljones. Although I would put "big debt", and all the related financial realities as #1 by a long shot. The simple fact is that the middle class has been decimated over the last 30 years. We now spend hugely more on the basics of life than we did a generation or two ago. Saving are in negative territory, and people have fewer and fewer options simply to survive in our western societies. This is not due to a growing avarice, laziness or selfishness of "those kids today," but due the reality that two incomes can't even compete with the buying power of one a generation or two ago.
If you don't feel secure about keeping a roof over your head, being able to put food on the table, and saving a little for old age, then you're sure as heck not going to be buying boats, getting into hang gliding or treking off on some long mountain trail.
Cruising in a small boat has always been the domain of the relatively rich. How many from the so-called "third world," or even the "developing world," has there ever been in the fleets of long-term sailors and cruisers? Almost none. Why? B/c they don't have the security that our societies
used to provide
to the vast majority of us. Thanks to the victory of neo-liberal thinking -- a victory brought about by the baby-boom generation -- those days are quickly receding into history.
There will always be those who can buck the trends of their day, and strike out on their own. But it is hard to dream the big dream when you're running as hard as you can, just to keep you and your family safe and secure.
Why go fast, when you can go slow.

Quarterback, politician held supply-side stance
"His supply-side economic theories were adopted by Ronald Reagan," Parma said. "He was largely responsible for what Reagan did, and Reagan credited him for that."
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Vista, said Kemp "led one of the most distinguished public-service careers in our history, shaping both the Republican Party and our country. For many of us here in San Diego, Jack Kemp was an icon, both on the football field and as a political leader."
John French Kemp Jr. was born July 13, 1935, in Los Angeles.
Kemp grew up a Christian Scientist in a Jewish neighborhood of Hollywood. Although his religiously devout parents nearly lost their home in the Depression, a decade later the family led a comfortable middle-class life thanks to a successful trucking business run by Kemp's father and uncle.
Although older brother Tom was the high school football star of the family, Kemp established himself as a good small-college quarterback at Occidental College in Pasadena.
He was drafted in the 17th round in 1957 by the Detroit Lions, but wound up with Calgary in the Canadian Football League.
Despite being encouraged by friends to give up football, Kemp took one last shot in 1960 and caught on with the Los Angeles Chargers in their inaugural season. He led the franchise to 11 consecutive wins after its move to San Diego in 1961.
After a serious finger injury, he was sold to the Buffalo Bills for $100, only to lead his new team to AFL championships in 1964 and 1965 and win the Most Valuable Player award in 1965.
While with the Chargers, Kemp met Klein, then editor of The San Diego Union and a friend of Richard Nixon's.
With Klein's encouragement, Kemp began representing the newspaper in appearances before community groups and wrote weekly columns for the paper's youth page as well as some editorials.
An indifferent student in college, Kemp became a voracious reader on football road trips, devouring everything from Alexis de Tocqueville and Adam Smith to the Bible.
His educational odyssey continued into his congressional career as he immersed himself in the supply-side theories of economist Arthur Laffer.
Several attempts to bring the idea of across-the-board tax cuts to a congressional vote in the late 1970s failed. But the idea took hold in Republican orthodoxy and is credited with helping the party make big gains in the House in 1978 and two years later with the election of Reagan.
Norman Ornstein, a congressional scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, said: "I think there is no doubt that he had a greater impact on conservative and Republican economic philosophy than anybody else. More than Laffer, more than Reagan."
Kemp is survived by his wife of 50 years, Joanne; children, Jeff Kemp of Redmond, Wash., Jimmy Kemp of Washington, Jennifer Kemp Andrews of Middleburg, Va., and Judith Kemp of Potomac, Md.; and 17 grandchildren.

About Furry Conventions
Furry conventions bring together people interested in anthropomorphism and furry fandom. Fans meet and participate in panels focusing on anthropomorphic art, crafts, music, and literature. Many attendees consider themselves "Furries", dressing in fursuits that range from full-body outfits to accessories like ears and tails. Furries are humans who find that their personality fits better with an animal than humans, and sometimes consider themselves spiritually aligned with these animals.
While a common misconception due to media portrayal, Furry conventions are not in any way about sex or fetishes. Events usually focus on arts, crafts, music, and literature. Some raise money for charity.

Dr. Gerald Francis Whalen
On February 4, Dr. Gerald Francis Whalen died at his home in Shrewsbury, surrounded by his loved ones. He was 91 years old. Elizabeth, his beloved wife of 58 years, had predeceased him by two months. He was a gifted man who had led a remarkably full and fulfilling life; living and working as a physician in Monmouth and Ocean County for more than 63 years.
He was born on March 13, 1920 to Dr. Joseph Aloysius and Sarah Launder Whalen, and was raised with his younger brothers, Robert, Joseph and Jay Anthony and his sister, Jacqueline Ann in White Plains N.Y. He excelled in many areas of his life and academics were no exception. He graduated with honors from White Plains High School where he developed a fluency in Latin and Greek and his love for the Classics. He then matriculated at Holy Cross College, an institution he revered, and graduated summa cum laude in 1941. He went on to Cornell University Medical School where he was elected to Alpha Omega Alpha, the National Medical Honor Society and, in the war- accelerated curriculum of that time, graduated at the top of his class in 1944. He completed a surgical internship at St. Vincent's Hospital in New York and then spent two years as a captain in the US Army Medical Corp traveling around the country in a hospital train taking wounded soldiers home. He returned to The New York Hospital to do a pathology residency, but after a year decided to pursue training in neurosurgery instead. He did his neurosurgical residency in New York at St. Vincent's Hospital followed by further graduate training in neurosurgery and neurologic diseases at the Radcliff Infirmary in Oxford, England and at the Institute of Neurology at Queen Square in London. It was there that he met and luckily married Elizabeth Law Watson. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine, to the Society of British Neurological Surgeons and to the New York Academy of Sciences.
He returned to the U.S. with his new bride to take up a staff position as a neurosurgeon at St. Vincent's Hospital. They settled in Red Bank where his parents and sister had since moved. A short time later and with a growing family, he and Elizabeth bought a house in Shrewsbury, which they made their home for the next 56 years. He quickly established a busy neurological and neurosurgical practice at Riverview Hospital, Bayshore Community Hospital and also Monmouth Medical Center at which he subsequently developed the principal neurosurgical service in the area. At the time he started his practice, he was one of only two neurological specialists in the state of New Jersey. Although he was incredibly busy with clinical work and touched the lives of many families who live in the area, he was also an active, engaged member of the Monmouth Medical Center staff; serving as chairman of innumerable committees, president of the medical staff from 1981-84, and on the executive committee of the board of trustees. He also served as chairman of the Monmouth-Ocean County Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, and also as a member of the executive committee of the Monmouth County Medical Society and the Medical Society of New Jersey and was an AMA delegate for many years.
He also found time outside of medicine to engage in a variety of sports and interests over the years – at which he invariably excelled. He was for a time a keen and excellent painter. He also developed a fascination with model trains – much to the delight of his young children. A little later he took up horseback riding and ultimately became a whip for the Monmouth County Hunt. His brother, Bob introduced him to skeet and subsequently it and trap became his primary hobby for many years. He was a member of the Wayside and Englishtown gun clubs and he won the New Jersey State Championship for 20 gauge Skeet shooting.
His greatest pride, however, was his family and he especially reveled in his role as patriarch for the greater clan and as pater familias at the head of the family dinner table; playing it to the hilt and enjoying nothing so much as a good argument – with himself as the chief arguer. He was an excellent storyteller, very knowledgeable and possessed a prodigious memory. He believed in hard work, individual free will and rigorous rational analysis – and was completely unafraid to reach and publicly voice conclusions that sometimes ran starkly against conventional wisdom. He was known personally and professionally for his honesty and tenacity. He had regular habits, a formal style and was fastidious in his dress. He also had a great sense of humor and could laugh at himself. He had a sure instinct for recognizing character in others. For the most part the world met him on his own terms because he was so fearless and utterly comfortable in his own preparation, but also because he was certainly blessed to have married Elizabeth. His commanding presence and acute sense of occasion left a lasting impression on everyone around him. He was a brilliant man. Those of us who knew and loved him feel fortunate to have had this striking individual with us as long as we did and his example will live on in our lives and memories. He will be greatly missed.
He was predeceased by his brothers, Bob and Jay but is survived by his sister, Jackie Homan of Wilmington, Del., and also by his four children and their spouses, Giles and Lynn Whalen of Sutton, Mass., Dan and Susan Whalen of Rumson, Sarah and Powell Robinson of South Salem, N.Y. and Philippa and Jim Burke of New York, N.Y. He is also survived by nine grandchildren, Christina and Sydney Whalen, Nick, Anne, Sarah and John Whalen, Lily, Powell and Charlotte Robinson.
Visitation hours are Friday, Feb. 10, 3 -7 p.m. at the Thompson Memorial Home, 310 Broad St., Red Bank. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 11 at St. James Catholic Church, 94 Broad St., Red Bank followed by a private family burial at the Gate of Heaven in Hawthorne, N.Y.

Deepest below Tilak Bridge at 18 metres below the surface
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation completed the tunnelling work between Central-Secretariat and ITO stations under Phase-III of constructions when the second and final tunnel breakthrough was achieved on Tuesday.
The breakthrough at the ITO station was achieved in the presence of DMRC Managing Director Mangu Singh after completing the 700-metre-long tunnel on the down line of the Mandi House-ITO stretch.
The tunnel is deepest below the Tilak Bridge with a maximum depth at 18 metres below the earth's surface. The internal diameter of the tunnel is 5.7 metres. A total of 467 rings were inserted in the tunnel with each ring consisting of six segments. The casting of the segments was done at the Mundka casting yard.
According to a DMRC statement, the excavated earth was deposited at the Mukundpur depot. Earth-pressure-balancing type TBM from the Shanghai Metro Shield Corporation was used to concrete the tunnel.

They've got me fooled with all the anti-Obama commentary injected into the comment section of even unrelated articles. He's the president of the United States, just a BIT more powerful/important than some random internet denizen.

who is michelle obama and why should i care?

there's certainly something wrong with you if you think that the President of the United States has nothing to do with you
it doesn't matter how much you personally care for them, american politics affects EVERYONE
most countries' economies are linked to ours, our antics in the Middle East have repercussions everywhere as oil prices are effected, etc.

I'm Not sure what you're on about, SSJ4CHRIS, pancake obviously cares, else he wouldn't have responded to my post.
But, his most recent post seems to imply it isn't a big to him, it just made him curious.
Slow drivers should have their own roads to use, special roads for special drivers. Or, there should be a lane for these special people. Maybe the right lane.

Reread my post, E. I said what his wife and other members of his family do in the apolitical world are not a concern of mine. This includes whether or not Michelle has heard of the Wii U, of course. Politically speaking, that's a different story, I did mention this in my previous post.
What else is new though, someone on the internet doesn't read entire posts...

Saying Ms. Obama only cares about child health and not know about video game consoles is like anti-gun nuts not knowing about guns.

Not that any wardrobe could contain the vaunted size Winnebagos that reality TV highlight Lacey Wildd has built for herself. She's something of a World Record type sensation, nearing in I believe on the biggest funbags allowed by Florida law or something. Perhaps not the traditional vision of restrained beauty, but most definitely a girl that by sheer force of gravity and some surprising good looks will no doubt have your neck cranking should you pass her on the beach in Miami.
She's a thang alright. And while I know some of you will send me scolding letters, this is for the other half of you who will stare catatonic into Lacy's massive mammaries and dream of mother's milk bursting like a damn upon your ANR fantasies. Enjoy.

NEWBERRY — For every dollar government appropriates for the arts, the government can recoup over $7 in tax revenue.
That message was at the heart of an update from Bob Montgomery, president of the Newberry County Historical and Museum Society, and Denise Reid as they spoke to the Newberry County Governmental Association on Monday about the impact an expanded museum would have on Newberry County from a cultural and economic standpoint.
Reid said turning the old post office/library into a museum would provide a central location and offer handicap accessibility, two things that could spur the community to use it more often.
She also shared her belief that people will be more likely to take care of their neighborhood when they know something about its history, such as why a road carried a particular name.
"This is not a new project, but we have put a new face on it," Reid said. "The exterior is in good shape thanks to the work of county council."
She said the group's task forces are also helping with different facets of the project.
With maps and displays to highlight area attractions such as battlefields, Reid, Montgomery and their supporters see the museum as a way to draw tourism dollars not just downtown but out in the county's municipalities.
She mentioned that in 2013, 18,000 visitors to The Museum Greenwood lived more than 50 miles from that city. Her hope is that an expanded Newberry museum will bring out-of-town visitors to Newberry County.
Anecdotes add up
Reid showed a slide of some Britannica Encyclopedias that would be part of a museum exhibit. The books were bought for $102 — which is not that noteworthy — but the $102 came from the sale of Confederate bonds.
The story is that Josiah Smeltzer raised some $46,000 for Newberry College in 1864 and the college chose to put the money into bonds rather than cotton. After the war, the bonds were worthless, placing the college in financial peril.
In 1882, $21,000 of those Confederate bonds were located and sold — for the $102 used to buy that set of encyclopedias.
Back stories like that, Reid said, would allow visitors to learn more about local history.
Reid said there are more anecdotes and artifacts related to Newberry County that could be lost without improved capacity for historic preservation.
The joint project of the museum and Newberry College has advantages for both institutions. The college had an archive but it has been dissolved and the current county museum, while it serves a specific purpose, has limitations, Montgomery and Reid said.
Reid said some items people have considered donating to the Newberry museum were donated elsewhere due to concerns the donor had about security, climate controlled areas, etc.
Reid invited elected officials to attend the next task force meeting from the Newberry Historical and Museum Society and the Newberry College Archives Committee on Saturday to learn more.
In other business, the meeting and meal presented opportunity for Prosperity Town Councilman Mike Hawkins to mention the campaign of his constituent, Lou Neiger, to make it illegal to text while driving in Prosperity, a position Neiger presented to county council and plans to present to other town municipalities.
Elected officials received that information as well as an overview from Newberry City Manager Al Harvey about changes to downtown traffic control sources such as the stoplight being removed from the corner of Lindsay and Main streets.
"That change had to be made before SCDOT would allow trees on the east end of Main Street," he said. "And (Deputy City Administrator) Matt DeWitt has done a great job with streetscaping on Main and College streets."
Next up will be paving Wolves Way, formerly known as Cemetery Street.
Harvey also touched on efforts along Evans Street from College Street to Glenn Street that caused Evans Street to be closed for an extended period. He said older utility lines are being replaced beneath the street at a significant cost to the city, particularly on the upper portion of the street.
Harvey said that work is ongoing and the road will be resurfaced when weather permits.
He also touched on a major expansion at Kraft Foods, thanking county and city officials for working to accommodate water, sewer and electrical services that coincided with the expansion at one of the county's largest employers.
Harvey said the county is poised to make an announcement in the near future about its mega site industrial site, but said detailed comments would be premature at this time.
The Newberry County Intergovernmental Association also voted to dedicate $600 to sponsor two delegates to Girls State.
The association next meets June 30 in Whitmire. The other two 2014 meetings are Sept. 29 in Prosperity and Dec. 29 in Little Mountain.

Australia winger Digby Ioane doubtful for Bledisloe Cup clash with New Zealand
Last Updated: 14/10/12 12:42pm
Digby Ioane: Doubtful with a knee injury
Australia have a fitness doubt over winger Digby Ioane ahead of Saturday's final Bledisloe Cup clash against New Zealand in Brisbane.
The 27-year-old flyer is still nursing a knee injury following the Wallabies' 25-19 win over Argentina in Rosario earlier this month.
"We're waiting to hear on Digby and then we'll go from there once it comes clear," said coach Robbie Deans.
Prop Sekope Kepu (knee), No 8 Wycliff Palu (shoulder), and winger Drew Mitchell (ankle) have all been cleared to join the 30-man squad after recovering from injuries.
Utility back Adam Ashley-Cooper will also be available after missing the victory over the Pumas due to concussion.
The All Blacks are on a 16-match winning run, two short of the record held by Lithuania, and beat the Wallabies home and away en route to claiming the inaugural Rugby Championship title last month.

So as a Cubs fan living in New York, I couldn't keep myself away from Shea this week.Ă'Â I chose to attend Wednesday's game since Big Z was pitching, and here's how it went down:
2nd INN: Mark DeRosa homers, I stand and cheer while the Mets fans tell me to sit the fuck down.Ă'Â 1-0 Cubs
3rd INN: Big Z starts randomly walking people before giving up a grand slam to Delgado.Ă'Â Not fun for me.Ă'Â 5-1 Mets
4th INN: Oliver Perez reaches 90 pitches.Ă'Â I start taunting the NY crowd about how we are going to feast on their bullpen.Ă'Â Nobody argues with me.Ă'Â 5-1 Mets (for now)
5th INN: Cubs rally against a tired Perez and then his bullpen replacements.Ă'Â 5-5 tie
7th INN: Soriano puts us ahead with a 2 out double.Ă'Â 6-5 Cubs
7th INN: Leadoff double followed by a bunt single from Reyes. 1st and 3rd, no outs. The Mets are going to score right? Wrong. None of the next 3 batters can get a hit, sac fly, or productive grounder. Man stranded at 3rd, opportunity wasted. I laugh. 6-5 Cubs
8th INN: Lou decides to walk someone with 1BĂ'Â empty and Samardzija ruins his plans by walking in the tying run.Ă'Â 6-6 tie
9th INN: Bob Howry comes into the game.Ă'Â I get nervous.Ă'Â Howry gives up a leadoff triple.Ă'Â I start to gather my things to leave.Ă'Â Then the Mets show how much of a contender they really are when they again strand a man on 3rd with no outs.Ă'Â Unbelievable.Ă'Â 6-6 tie
10th: Cubs rally behind a Theriot singe, an RBI double by Lee, and a 2 run HR by Aramis.Ă'Â Mets fans start to leave.Ă'Â I taunt them for leaving while they still have a shot, almost get into a fight with overly sensitive Mets fans.Ă'Â Ă'Â Kerry Wood shuts them down in order.Ă'Â 9-6 Cubs
How often do you win a game in which yourĂ'Â starter gives up a grand slam and only lasts 4 2/3?Ă'Â How often do you escape two situations with a runner on 3rd and no outs late in the game?Ă'Â These are the differences between a team that may or may not barely make the playoffs and the titans of the NL.Ă'Â Our team finds a way to win in seemingly impossible circumstances.Ă'Â In the end, it comes down to depth.Ă'Â Our team has limitless reserves of talent to call upon as needed, and other teams just don't.Ă'Â Ă'Â Our lineup is deep, our bench is deep, our rotation is deep, and our bullpen is deep.Ă'Â We have an embarassment of riches at this point.
In the other games of this series, Lou has been using our scrubs to rest the starters and to test out his playoff roster.Ă'Â AND THEY'RE HANGING WITH THE WILD CARD LEADERS.Ă'Â Last night Michah Hoffpauer, a 28 year-old September call up (though he would have been a regular player for many other teams by now), went 5 for 5 with 2 HR and 5 RBI and was single-handedly beating the Mets until a late innings rally.Ă'Â Mets announcer Gary Cohen referred to him prior to his 5th AB of the night, in complete sincerety, as "The Mighty Hoffpauer."Ă'Â Then when he turned that AB into a single going the other way with an outside slider, Kieth Hernandez called it "a thing of beauty."Ă'Â Now, IĂ'Â know Hoffpauer (pronounced Hoff-power; a great name for a slugger) has been tearing up the minors (including a 5 for 5 with 4 HR effort), but these were his first HR in the majors and this was against a team in the heart of a playoff race.Ă'Â Apparently their team collectively wants to make the playoffs less than one of our guys wants to make his teams playoff roster.Ă'Â And aside from him, we were playingĂ'Â 3 other September call ups.Ă'Â Our AAA players are as good as the WildĂ'Â Card leading Mets.Ă'Â I gotta say, that feels REALLY good right about now.
The best part of all of this is that, with playing the Brewers right after the Mets, the Wild Card will be decided by which team can beat our backups.Ă'Â Doesn't that rain on the parade of whoever stumbles into the playoffs?Ă'Â "Yay, we barely beat a bunch of bench players, call-ups, and non-playoff-roster scrubs!Ă'Â Woo Hoo!!!Ă'Â Now we get to be ousted in the first round!"Ă'Â Seriously, this is a fun way to tune-up for the playoffs.Ă'Â Our scrubs Vs. your starters to see who we get to play down the road.Ă'Â Does anyone think I'm kidding when I say that I never thought this would happen with a Cubs team?Ă'Â Pinch me.Ă'Â No wait!Ă'Â Don't!Ă'Â If I'm dreaming right now, I don't want to wake up.Ă'Â Wake me up in October.
If you're dreaming, wake you in October??
No wonder the Cubs haven't won it in 100 years, the fans can't even dream right. How about waking you in November AFTER they win?

To Dean Smith who passed away last night and was evidently suffering from a form of dementia for the past few years and had been vacant from the public eye during these last period.
Dean Smith was one of the all time great college basketball coaches. I believe he set a record for all time victories by the time he retired in the late 1990's (since broken at least twice--most recently by his long time competitor, Coach K). He coached at University of North Carolina and led them to an amazingly long streak of 20+ victories every year, many ACC championships, a large number of NCAA tournament bids and two NCAA championships.
More fundamentally important he was a decent man and a courageous and leading actor on behalf of racial integration. He did that on a local level in North Carolina. He did it in his community and his church, and he did it on the basketball court providing a scholarship to one of or the first black basketball player on the UNC team, and I believe the ACC back in 1967.
Over many decades he received universal love and affection from what must be hundreds of past members of his teams. Really extraordinary levels of fondness for him from his players over the many many decades. That says a lot.
As a technical coach he was excellent devising the famous four corners offense, which was effective and confounding enough to be voided by rules changes, and swarming flows of fast breaks with both first and second waves of players.
He generated a lot of devotion. A life well lived.
to add....
I probably started watching ACC basketball since the end of the 1960's, a period during which Dean Smith had already established a dominant program. Having lived and gone to college in Maryland I became a U MD basketball fan during that period and of course found the strength of the UNC and the Duke programs endlessly frustrating. Dean Smith was the "perfect" coach at UNC. Maryland had the tempestuous and colorful Lefty Driesell in those days in the late 1960's and early 1970's.
In any case, with that background I found these paragraphs very telling.....
Once, during a coaches meeting, Dean Smith made Lefty Driesell so angry that the old Maryland coach wrote Smith a letter telling him he'd never shake his hand again.
True to his word, the next time Maryland and North Carolina played, Driesell turned away the man he liked to call "a hook-nosed little sucker."
Yet years later, when Driesell's son, Chuck, came to him for advice about coaching, Driesell had just one tip.
"I told him, 'Don't model yourself after me; model yourself after Dean,'" Driesell recalled Sunday while driving home from Duke's game against Notre Dame. "Dean always said the right thing, did the right thing. He was a true gentleman."
[+] EnlargeKevin C. Cox/Getty ImagesEven old opponents like Lefty Driesell couldn't help but respect Dean Smith.
Time, and more the frailty of a rival, has a way of smoothing away past resentments, and so it was with Driesell and his animosity toward Smith. In the final years of Smith's life, Driesell called Smith's secretary almost weekly to check in.
On Sunday, when he learned that Smith had died at the age of 83, he said simply and quietly, "I'll miss Dean."

A system and method for draining a postoperative wound, the system having a bottle which is coupled in a manner to facilitate fill of the bottle under low pressure from a postoperative wound.
1. A system for draining blood from a post-operative closed wound and then capable of providing blood therefrom to be reused by the patient comprising a closed wound drainage catheter connector coupled to a first tube, said first tube coupled to the first end of a flexible bag, said first tube extending into said bag less than 1/4 the length of said bag towards the second end of said bag, and first tube being for blood collection and capable of subsequent blood flow from said bag, a second tube coupled to the flexible bag at the second end of said bag and extending at least half the length of said flexible bag towards the first end of the bag, said first tube extending a distance towards the second end of the flexible bag less than the distance of the second tube from said first end of said flexible bag, a bacterial air filter coupled to said second tube, a one way valve coupled to said second tube to prevent air from entering said bag from second tube but to allow air flow out of said bag through said second tube, and a semirigid outer shell enclosing said flexible bag and surrounding a portion of each of said first and second tubes.
2. A method for draining blood for a post-operative closed wound of a patient which then can be reused in the patient, which comprises placing a closed wound catheter in the wound of a patient and closing the wound about the catheter portion having holes therein for collecting blood, said closed wound catheter coupled to a first tube, said first tube coupled to the first end of a flexible bag, said first tube extending into said bag less than 1/4 the length of said bag towards a second end of said bag, a second tube coupled to second end of said bag and extending at least half the length of said flexible bag towards the first end of the bag, said first tube extending a distance towards the second end of the flexible bag less than the distance of the second tube form said first end of said flexible bag, a bacterial air filter coupled to said second tube and a semirigid outer shell enclosing said flexible bag and surrounding a portion of each of said first and second tubes placing the bag below the level of the wound to be drained, opening an air clamp coupled to said second tube to permit air to escape from the bag as blood is collected through said first tube.
This invention is directed to a new system and method for closed wound draining e.g., the type of wound which occurs during surgery and is subsequently sewn or closed and then drained of fluid after surgery.
More particulary, the present invention is directed to the use of an auto-infusion bottle or container sold under the trademark SOLCOTRANS by Solco Basle, Inc. of Rockland, Mass, U.S.A., and which is normally used for intraoperative auto-transfusion (i.e., the collection of blood during surgery and thereafter the transfusion of the patient with the same collected blood) for postoperative wound drainage. When one uses the Solcontrans™ bottle for intraoperative auto-transfusion, collected blood feeds into the inner bag in the bottle via a elongated fill tube against gravity and then falls into an inner bag. Thus collected debris e.g., bone collected with the blood from the surgical incision area is not able to clog the inlet fill tube for collecting the blood.
However, the use of the Solcotrans™ bottle in this manner has not been found satisfactory when used in conjunction with postoperative closed wound drainage catheters because the blood which is sucked into the fill tube is evacuated at low pressure has to flow against the hydrostatic pressure head generated by the height of the fill tube thereof.
The present invention provides a solution to using the Solcotrans™ bottle for closed wound drainage.
In this invention, a Solcotrans™ bottle is coupled to a closed wound drainage catheter through a Y connector by way of a pre-filter and connector to a port of the Solcotrans™ bottle which goes directly into the inner bag contained within the semirigid outer bottle thereof and the port connected to the fill tube of the Solcotrans™ bottle is coupled through a vacuum tube assembly to a low-pressure source of suction or none if one wants to rely upon gravity flow. It is therefore now possible to use the Solcotrans™ bottle at low pressures from 0 mm Hg (gravity flow) to about 80 mm Hg (negative pressure) for postoperative wound drainage and therefore improve flow rates, prevent clotting in the fill tube and improve admixture of blood with the anticoagulant solution placed in the bag. Reference may be had to U.S. Pat. No. 4,573,992 to show the state of the art.
FIG. 1 is a diagramatic view of the system of this invention for draining blood for a closed wound.
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line 2--2 of FIG. 1.
Reference should now be had to FIGS. 1 and 2 for a descriptiion of the system of the invention.
At 10, there is shown a portion of a patient e.g., a human having a wound 10-1. Placed within the wound is a wound drainage catheter 11 i.e., for draining blood, having a section 11-1 with a plurality of holes 11-2 for draining the wound. The section 11-1 is placed into the wound and the skin is punctured or sewn together to hold the catheter section 11-1 therein. Coupled to the ends 11-3 and 11-4 of the catherer 11 is a Y connector 12 having the top Y sections 12-1 and 12-2 coupled to opposite ends of the catheter. The Y section 12-3 is connected to a blood collection tube 13-1 and then preferably to a typical pre-filter 14 to tube 13-2 which in turn is coupled to a connector 15 which has a sterile rubber sealed injection port 15-1 to inject anticoagulant and etc. At 20, there is disclosed the conventional SOLCOTRANS brand auto-transfusion device which comprises a semirigid plastic bottle 20 having an inner flexible plastic bag 21, positioned in the bottle 20. At one end of the bag a tube 22 forms a port for the collection of blood. The tube 22 extends into the bag a small distance sufficient to allow bag to tube sealing e.g., less than 1/4 the length of the bag towards the opposite end into the bag 21 and is sealed therein at 22-1. The tube 22 extends through a cap 23 having a sealing washer 23-1 attached to the tube 22 which adapted to be forced down on a threaded neck portion 20-1 by the cap 23. Also extending into the sealing cap 20-1 through the sealing washer 23-1 is tube 24 for providing gas under pressure between the inner bag and the outer bottle to cause the bag 21 to expel blood contained therein if it desired to return the collected blood to the human patient. A fill tube is shown at 25 at the bag end opposite tube 23 and forms a second port. The tube 25 extends more than halfway and preferably at least 9/10 of the distance towards the bag end coupled to said first port formed by tube 22. The tube 25 is sealed into the bag 21 and the portion thereof extends through a sealing cap 26 coupled to a threaded neck portion 20-2 through a sealing washed 26-1. The sealing washer 26-1 is sealed about tube 25 is forced against the top of the neck portion 20-2 by the cap 26.
The tube 25 is connected to a connector 27, which is preferably coupled to a vacuum tube assembly through a tube 28-1, a 0.2-0.5 micron filter 40 (to provide for bacterial filtering), a tube 28-2, a one-way check valve 41 (e.g., a Duckbill valve to allow for air to be drawn out of the bag 21 but no air flow into the bag 21) and a tube 42 and a connector 43 coupled to a tube 28-3. The vacuum tube assembly comprises a tube 28-3 (as noted), connector 29, tube 30 which is coupled if desired to a vacuum pump 31 to provide suction unless gravity fill is being used. In use, the pump is generally used at low-pressure suction under 80 mm Hg negative pressure to suck blood from the wound through the pre-filter and then into the bottle to fill levels below the top of the fill tube.
Conventional slideable clips having a narrowed portion are provided at 32 and 35 for closing the tubes 22 and 25 if desired and a cap 36 is provided to close tube 24. The arrow 38 at tube 22 represents the flow of blood into the bag which is collected to the level represented by the dotted line 40 and the arrow 39 represents air flow due to the suction pump 31.

After decades of trial and error, artificial intelligence applications that aim to understand human language are slowly starting to lose some of their brittleness. Now, a simple mathematical model developed by two psychologists at Stanford University could lead to further improvements, helping transform computers that display the mere veneer of intelligence into machines that truly understand what we are saying.

Stanford researchers have found that concentric carbon nanotubes, with the outer layer riddled by defects and impurities, could be a cheap alternative for some of the platinum catalysts that convert hydrogen and oxygen into water in fuel cells and metal-air batteries. Read More
Age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in North America, while retinitis pigmentosa causes approximately 1.5 million people worldwide to lose their sight every year. Individuals afflicted with retinal degenerative diseases such as these might someday be able to see again, however, thanks to a device being developed at California's Stanford University. Scientists there are working on a retinal prosthesis, that uses what could almost be described as miniature solar panels to turn light signals into nerve impulses. Read More
Although the pixel count for consumer cameras continues to rise, they will all pale in comparison to the 3,200-megapixel Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) camera. Although the enormous astronomical camera has yet to be built, last week the U.S. Department of Energy gave its approval for the project to proceed to the next phase of development. This means that a detailed engineering design can begin, along with a production schedule and budget. If everything goes according to plan, construction on what will be the world's largest digital camera should begin in 2014. Read More
Higher-density batteries, more efficient thin-film solar cells, and better catalysts may all soon be possible, thanks to a new technique that allows nanowires to be "decorated" with nanoparticles. Using the novel technology, scientists from Stanford University have been able to festoon the outside surfaces of nanowires with intricate chains of metal oxide or noble metal nanoparticles, thereby drastically boosting the effective surface area of the nanowires. Other researchers have previously tried to achieve the same end result, but apparently never with such success. Read More
Scientists at Stanford University's School of Medicine have created nanoparticles that are able to precisely highlight brain tumors. Because the nanoparticles can be imaged in three different ways, they can be used to delineate the boundaries of tumors before and during brain surgery to ease the complete removal of tumors. The scientists have already used the nanoparticles to remove brain tumors from mice with unprecedented accuracy and hope the technique could be used on humans in the future. Read More
Scientists have succeeded in endowing graphene with yet another useful property. Already, it is the thinnest, strongest and stiffest material ever measured, while also proving to be an excellent conductor of heat and electricity. These qualities have allowed it to find use in everything from transistors to supercapacitors to anti-corrosion coatings. Now, two materials engineers from Stanford University have used computer models to show how it could also be turned into a piezoelectric material – this means that it could generate electricity when mechanically stressed, or change shape when subjected to an electric current.

Futuristic biplane design eliminates sonic boom
March 19, 2012
A throwback to early 20th Century aviation may hold the key to eliminating the sonic boom - at least according to researchers at MIT and Stanford University. Strongly reminiscent of biplanes still in use today, the researcher's concept supersonic aircraft introduces a second wing which it is claimed cancels the shockwaves generated by objects near or beyond the sound barrier.

With the wait still on for a miniaturization ray to allow some Fantastic Voyage-style medical procedures by doctors in submarines, tiny electronic implants capable of traveling in the bloodstream show much more promise. While the miniaturization of electronic and mechanical components now makes such devices feasible, the lack of a comparable reduction in battery size has held things back. Now engineers at Stanford University have demonstrated a tiny, self-propelled medical device that would be wirelessly powered from outside the body, enabling devices small enough to move through the bloodstream.

For those unfamiliar with the term, a "whispering gallery" is a round room designed in such a way that sound is carried around its perimeter – this allows a person standing on one side to hear words whispered by a person on the other. Now, scientists from Stanford University have developed a new type of photovoltaic material, that essentially does for sunlight what whispering galleries do for sound. Not only does the material have a structure that circulates light entering it, but it could also result in cheaper, less fragile, and less angle-sensitive solar panels. Read More

W-2014/9: The EU's Role and Interest in Promoting Regional Integration in Central America
As the EU's regional strategy paper for Central America states, the Union actively promotes and supports the Central American regional integration process in a wide variety of ways. In this working paper, we will critically analyze whether or not this truly is the case, and, if so, how the EU then shapes this support. We will argue that the EU indeed does so because of various strategic considerations and through various ways of financial and technical assistance, by negotiating a free trade agreement, and through region-to-region political dialogue and norm diffusion.
Keywords: Central America, regions, regional integration, interregionalism, EU, Latin America, EU external relations, norm diffusion.

Los Alamitos to Cull Coyotes
By Joe Segura
LOS ALAMITOS — Startled residents have been been raising Cain more regularly, following continued coyote sightings near the massive San Gabriel River channel this year.
However, Los Alamitos raised the ante this week, when the City Council unanimously decided to hire a private certified contractor to trap and kill the coyotes, a control strategy that's been avoided elsewhere.
Los Alamitos Mayor Ken Parker said the decision was made after several residents complained of pets being killed by the coyotes.
"They became a threat to the community," he said Wednesday. "They also pose a danger to small children."
The coyotes generally use the San Gabriel River as a highway into adjacent communities, including Rossmoor, Seal Beach and Long Beach's El Dorado Park and at Cal State Long Beach.
Trappings have been avoided in Long Beach, mainly out of a concern for pups that might be separated from their mothers. However, state Fish and Game officials noted that the pupping season is over.
John Keisler, acting business manager of Long Beach Animal Control, said the city's approach is supportive of healthy wildlife.
"We don't trap or kill coyotes," he said.
However, if the coyotes pose a threat, Animal Control will respond, Keisler added.
"We will do what we need to do … to remove that threat," he said.
Keisler said the best response to coyotes is to remove food, water and shelter opportunities from homes. Don't allow pets — a coyote food source — to stray; keep them on a leash, he advised.
He added that pet food should not be kept outside and garbage containers should be sealed tightly.
Bushes and shrubs, which can be a source of shelter, should be kept trimmed or cleared away, he said.
"That's common sense," Keisler said.

I bought this cage for a small guinea pig
posted 7 years ago
I bought this home for the small guinea pig I am adopting. It had the largest first floor I could find in any store bought cages. I am planning on having my guinea pig outside of his cage a lot, as I am sure most ferrett owners have their ferretts outside their cages a lot. It was easy to put together and looks easy to clean.
Pros: Large floor space....still not really big enough for any animal, unless they use it just to sleep in
Cons: None known as of yet

Great Bend, KS -- May 31 is the deadline for applying for Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) for people who are out of work due to the severe storms, flooding, hail and tornadoes that struck Hoisington, state and federal officials have announced.
Individuals must apply during the open application period, even if they do not expect to receive benefits immediately.
This program extends coverage to people ineligible for unemployment compensation under the regular state unemployment insurance program. Those who may qualify include self-employed persons, farm workers, farm and ranch owners, agricultural producers, commission-paid employees and others not covered by regular programs who lost work as a result of the disaster. Individuals who are not sure if they qualify under this program should apply anyway to ensure that everyone who is eligible is assisted.
Persons applying for unemployment benefits should be able to provide proof of past earnings at the time they file a claim, such as business records or bank statements and their 2000 or most recent income tax forms. Residents should call the Kansas Department of Human Resources unemployment insurance toll free number, which is 1-800-292-6333 to determine eligibility under the program. The Department of Human Resources will also assist DUA claimants in finding reemployment through testing, counseling, and placement services.
Everyone who was adversely affected by storms, flooding, hail and tornadoes, which occurred on April 21, 2001 is encouraged to register with FEMA by calling 1-800-462-9029. Those wishing to follow up on an application can call the FEMA Helpline at 1-800-525-0321. People with hearing or speech impairments may call (TTY) 1-800-462-7585. Registration and Helpline numbers are available between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., CDT, Monday through Saturday until further notice.

Critical Essay by Harriet Kriegel
Not disposed to educate or alienate her audience, Ms. Ephron can't believe that beautiful women or women with breasts have anything to complain about…. This implies, of course, that only plain women earn the right to question a sexist society—presumably because they are less readily accepted by it. Ephron's audience can, no doubt, speak with some authority here. Unfortunately, Ms. Ephron herself never asks why beauty is such an important commodity in this society and fails to recognize that when ludicrous physical standards are created, we all become losers—plain, ugly and beautiful.
Nor does she feel sympathy with mothers and housewives; she confesses to voluptuous fantasies about rape. Nevertheless, Nora Ephron assures us that she is committed to the women's movement and possesses a most empathetic personality. In Crazy Salad it is difficult to find...
