PHOENIX -- Actor and activist Danny Glover said Wednesday a boycott of Arizona may not be an appropriate response by critics of the state's sweeping law targeting illegal immigration.
Glover called the law misguided, a disservice to the state and ''a reaction to an extraordinary level of fear.''
But the ''Lethal Weapon'' star also believes Arizonans and their leaders will resolve what he called a moral crisis.
Billboard ranks Clarkson most successful 'American Idol'
NEW YORK -- Carrie Underwood may have sold more albums than Kelly Clarkson, but the original ''American Idol'' winner is still the most successful, according to Billboard.
Clarkson has sold 10.6 million albums, 15.9 million tracks and has had 4.2 million radio plays, according to Billboard.com, ranking her the top graduate from ''Idol.'' Underwood has 11.5 million and 13.9 million for album and single sales, respectively. The country singer's also had 2.4 million radio plays since she won ''Idol'' in 2005.
The third most successful ''Idol'' never won the crown and wasn't even a runner up: It's Chris Daughtry, who fronts his own band, Daughtry; they have sold 5.7 million albums.
Rubio reveals pregnancy in Twitter post
NEW YORK -- Paulina Rubio shared some big news with her fans on Twitter: She is pregnant.
She tweeted: ''Life has a new meaning.'' And she told her fans that they were going to be aunts and uncles.
She gave no further details on the pregnancy.
A representative from her music label, Universal Music, confirmed to The Associated Press that Rubio made the statement.
Rubio will be 39 in June. She is married to a Spanish businessman. It will be her first child.

Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich (Head of Audi Motorsport): "The fans experienced a really thrilling DTM season opener. The new DRS wing flap and the option tires produced the desired effect. We saw a wide variety of strategies, tough duels and brilliant overtaking maneuvers. All three manufacturers are close together. Obviously, the race didn't go the way we'd have liked it to. We want to change that at Brands Hatch in two weeks from now."
Dieter Gass (Head of DTM): "That was a disappointing season opener for Audi. None of our cars made it without any incidents. Particularly frustrating – and a shame – was the fact that we didn't call Timo (Scheider) into the pits right on the first lap of the safety car, which deprived him of a possible podium finish. That he was able to recover from 18th all the way to sixth place by achieving strong lap times shows that more would have been possible today."
Timo Scheider (AUTO TEST Audi RS 5 DTM), 6th place
"I had a good start. Due to the tire situation Augusto (Farfus) and I were in agreement: We were going to use the opportunity to drive away from the field. When the DRS was active he overtook me. Afterward, I wanted to use the DRS but then the safety car period came and we didn't make the right decision in terms of timing the pit stop. Decisions like these are made within fractions of a second. We could have probably clinched a podium or victory today. When you look at how good our speed was toward the end that's pretty painful."
Mike Rockenfeller (Schaeffler Audi RS 5 DTM), 8th place
"Qualifying was our problem this weekend because we were simply too far at the rear. In the race, we didn't get too many things wrong, except for the second pit stop at which we lost two seconds because something was jammed. Then I got stuck behind a brand colleague while I was in a battle with Bruno Spengler. Without these two minor incidents fifth place might have been possible but this way I finished in eighth place. On the one hand, that's a bit disappointing but when you finish in the points after starting from position 14 in a race with so many question marks, that's good damage containment."
Jamie Green (Red Bull Audi RS 5 DTM), 14th place
"A tough race. My speed was okay, but not very strong. My main problem was that I was given a lap time penalty toward the end of the race and was to reduce my speed. But I couldn't judge how fast I was and braked. My engineer said that it wasn't enough so I had to brake again on the next lap. Later, I received a drive-through penalty. That's a shame! Only because I once ran wider in turn one, which surely didn't give me any advantage, I lost 35 seconds."
Miguel Molina (Audi RS 5 DTM), 15th
"After the puncture right at the beginning of the race I had a good pace. We were able to make good use of the option tires and in the end were fast on the standard tires as well. I'm looking forward to Brands Hatch. I really like this track and am optimistic."
Filipe Albuquerque (Audi Financial Services RS 5 DTM), 16th place
"It was a crazy race. At my first pit stop, the button for the pit lane speed limiter didn't work and I was too fast. That's why I received a drive-through penalty. Afterward, things were going well. I subsequently received another penalty out of the blue because I was sure that I didn't drive over the line in turn one. Unfortunately, it was a race to forget."
Mattias Ekström (Red Bull Audi RS 5 DTM), retirement
"That wasn't a perfect start of the season. At the beginning, it wasn't easy on standard tires. When I lost the hood the car became even more difficult to drive. When something broke on the driveline and I had no more propulsion I was forced to give up."
Edoardo Mortara (Playboy Audi RS 5 DTM), retirement
"For us, it was a difficult race weekend. Now we're hoping for Brands Hatch. Things can only get better."
Adrien Tambay (Audi ultra RS 5 DTM), retirement
"It was another short race at Hockenheim. At the start, the handbrake didn't work. I jump-started and received a penalty. I later noticed that there was a loss in engine power and then the car caught on fire. We don't know the reason yet, we've still got to look into this. Hopefully, we'll be more fortunate the next time."
Hans-Jürgen Abt (Team Director Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline): "It was a very turbulent race with many position battles. We're sorry about not having called Timo (Scheider) in for a pit stop during the safety car period. But the communication took too much time, that's why he lost about 20 seconds. Still, we saw that we've got a good pace, especially with Timo's car and we need to build on this."
Ernst Moser (Team Director Audi Sport Team Phoenix): "As expected, it was a turbulent race. The new rules made for a lot of action. We're very pleased with Mike (Rockenfeller). He advanced from 14th place to position eight. If our pit stop had been optimal fourth or fifth place would have been possible. Miguel (Molina) suffered the misfortune of destroying an option tire on the starting lap. As a result, he had to contest the whole race on standard tires. He drove a superb race on them and had a good speed."
Arno Zensen (Team Director Audi Sport Team Rosberg): "Unfortunately, this wasn't our weekend. After the start, Edo (Mortara) had body contact and damaged the front of his car. In addition, he was bumped in the rear so that his car was no longer drivable and we quit. Filipe (Albuquerque) had a good start and things were going well in terms of the strategy. We had an early pit stop and then the safety car came out, which was optimal. Filipe, unfortunately, was driving too fast in the pit lane and was penalized. Subsequently, there were two additional penalties."

The central bank is working on new rules for the property mortgage industry.
January 21, 2013 10:07 by Reuters
The United Arab Emirates central bank will not impose limits on mortgage lending without consulting commercial banks, and any new rules are not imminent, central bank governor Sultan Nasser al-Suweidi was quoted as saying.
The central bank is working on new rules for the property mortgage industry but they will take at least six to nine months to emerge, Monday's Al Ittihad newspaper quoted Suweidi as saying in an interview.
A circular sent to commercial banks by the central bank last month, and seen by Reuters, said mortgage loans for foreign individuals should not exceed 50 percent of the property value for a first purchase of a home, and 40 percent for second and subsequent homes. Caps for UAE citizens were set at 70 percent for a first home and 60 percent for subsequent ones.
But Suweidi was quoted as saying by Al Ittihad on Monday that there was a "misunderstanding" in the media and that no central bank ruling had been issued, only a warning to banks to be prepared for rule changes in the future.
Suweidi's office told Reuters that he was not immediately available to comment.

The DNC Press Room
"Type faster, damn you."
The Democratic National Convention press room was located deep in the guts of the Pepsi Center, and when I stopped by on Wednesday afternoon, nearly every seat was occupied -- and no one seemed to be having the slightest fun. It reminded me of the scene from The Producers when Matthew Broderick decided to stop being an office drone and live a very different dream, except without the moment of triumph or the catchy show tune to liven things up. Journalism fever: catch it. -- Michael Roberts

2012-13: 21-21-6, 48 points
Where they finished: 5th in the Northeast; 11th in the East; 23rd in the NHL
Coach: Ron Rolston (2nd season)
Key additions: D Henrik Tallinder, D Jamie McBain
Key subtractions: LW Nathan Gerbe, D Andrej Sekera, D Adam Pardy
Projected Lineup
Thomas Vanek – Cody Hodgson – Drew Stafford
Ville Leino – Tyler Ennis – Brian Flynn
Marcus Foligno– Luke Adam – Patrick Kaleta
Steve Ott – Mikhail Grigorenko - RW Joel Armia
Christian Ehrhoff – Tyler Myers
Henrik Tallinder – Jamie McBain
Mike Weber – Mark Pysyk
Ryan Miller – Jhonas Enroth
Our take: Fans might have to cover their eyes in Buffalo this season. Last year general manager Darcy Regier executed a complete housecleaning, firing coach Lindy Ruff and trading away forward Jason Pominville and defensemen Jordan Leopold and Robyn Regehr for prospects and picks.
That means leftovers Thomas Vanek and Ryan Miller are going to need to be miracle workers if the Sabres hope to find their way out of the forest and into the playoffs.
Vanek is coming off a solid 20-goal season last year, but he'll need help from Ville Leino, Drew Stafford and Cody Hodgson in the offensive department. The Sabres acquired some depth on the blue line with Henrik Tallinder and Jamie McBain but both a step below blue liners Jordan Leopold and Andrej Sekera.
That doesn't leave much hope for Miller, who at 33 is coming off the worst statistical season of his career and may have a difficult time convincing Team USA he should be the starting goalie in the 2014 Olympics, especially with the team in front of him.
Offseason Grade: D
Will they make the playoffs in 2013-14: No.

I'll set up a proper website at some point. But in the meantime you can check me out at:
Just letting everyone know that "I'm out." I appreciate that the Gamespot community is still in existence, but damned if I'm going to pay for a site which I can no longer enjoy.
Jason Ocampo was my final straw. Up until then, I'd held out some hope that Gamespot might recover from its seemingly unstoppable plummet into mediocrity and the realm of Gamespy and IGN. Sadly, it seems that I was wrong.
You see, I liked, trusted and agreed with the reviews of Gallup, Gertsmann, Navarro, Davis and Ocampo. I enjoyed them as part of the overall crew. And I don't like saying this, but I just don't enjoy the site any more. The editorial process has become suspect, the show quality has dropped significantly across the board and really, it would take a miracle to bring it back for me. Don't get me wrong, I still know Shoemaker, Thomas and Eckberg, in that I've read enough of their work to form opinions on their opinions, but it's not enough to keep my attached to pay content here. I don't even use the video features that much any more and I've very rarely downloaded a gameguide from Gamespot rather than the much more detailed "free" content at GameFAQs.
Sadly Gamespot, it's a case of too much haemorrhaging of the important and valued staff members in way too short a time. I haven't been a subscriber that long, it's true - but I will be one more who is cutting my time short here.
Should I find a new place to publish my writings, I'll post the link. But that's it for me on the pay side of things. I hope you all enjoyed the show and thank you so much for your support and occassional hate for my opinions.
If you are yet to, you should really play Audiosurf which has recently been released via Steam.
The big problem is that this game taunts you. With XBox Live at least you have to logon and actively look up lists to see if your top score has been beaten. Audiosurf does this for you, by sending you a mocking e-mail. Just see the attached e-mail below.

You used to have the worldwide best score for: mighty wings by cheap trick
Now the Audiosurf player 'alex1893' has beaten you. Get back in the game and reclaim the top spot!

Ignore for a moment that I held a record for "Mighty Wings" (what - you got a problem with that!), how else are you meant to react to such taunts other than to immediately hop back into the game and try and get your record back.
In a previous blog post I'd complained that Valve forgot to make it [Halflife Episodes 1 and 2] awesome.
I hereby retract that statement.
They merely failed to make all but the previously mentioned setpiece in Ep1 and "Under The Radar" onwards in Ep2 awesome. Lets hope that by Ep3 they remember to make it ALL awesome.
That said, the final battles in Ep2 are really something else. I didn't see that coming. The entire premise of the final fight. The scope of it and the style. Well, I could ramble, but I won't.
I'll sum up this way. It took me ~a month to play through the first 2-3 hours of Episode 2 (the Antlion and Zombies + ooze BS). Meanwhile, once I got past that point I couldn't stop playing until it was over. MAKE THE WHOLE GAME THAT WAY IN THE FUTURE.
Holy crap.
Some time ago I seem to recall talking about how long it had been since I actually finished a game. Yet recently I have completed Splinter Cell: Double Agent, Rainbow 6: Vegas, Assassin's Creed, Portal, Episode 1 (yes, 1) and am well on my way to finishing Call of Duty 4.
I don't know what happened, except maybe I finally got motivated and decided to finish lots of games. Maybe the games were a lot better and I felt compelled to finish them.
Anyhow. Just thought I should mention that I'm actually getting somewhere. Sure, it doesn't make me a gaming god or anything, but it's pretty interesting to actually get around to doing all that stuff.

Record Label: Fat Beats Records
There's a lot to be learned from Large Professor – how to produce, how to rhyme, how to cultivate new talent, how to stay creative and consistent for decades. The passing years only increase his legendary status – as a major collaborator with Main Source, Nas, A Tribe Called Quest, Kool G Rap & DJ Polo, etc. – while re-confirming his originality with each new project. So what's on the syllabus for the Professor's latest class? In his own words: "taking it back to the B-boy uprock style."
His latest masterwork Professor @ Large drops June 26 on Fat Beats Records. Large's impeccable craftsmanship shines on each of the 15 songs, many of them at upbeat park jam tempos. Whether he's spitting hard with MOP's Lil Fame, dropping an ill instrumental, or casting his wizened gaze out of the kaleidoscopic cover art, Large Pro is always smooth, on point and uniquely himself.
In addition to Lil Fame, the album features a connoisseur's selection of fine MCs: Busta Rhymes reminiscing in double-time on "Straight from the Golden"; Cormega and Tragedy Khaddafi bringing the streets on "Focused Up"; Mic Geronimo and Grand Daddy IU keeping cool on "Mack Don Illz"; and Cormega, Saigon, Roc Marciano and Action Bronson comprising the stunning "M.A.R.S" – easily the best posse cut of 2012. In a classy move, Large Pro gives Marco Polo the album's only production guest spot on the title track.
L.A. producer, Mndsgn's most recent project, Breatharian, gets the official re-issue treatment via the newly formed Fresh Selects label. The rising instrumentalist - best known for his work with the likes of Danny Brown, Jonwayne, Sonnymoon, Blu, Knxwledge, and more - sees his first retail release in over 4 years and has pulled out all the stops for the occasion. A diverse, conceptual beat tape that takes a varied approach into exploring the strange phenomenon known as "breatharianism" - the project made waves when it first dropped last summer and has now been professionally mixed, mastered, and pressed to vinyl for the first time. Along with it are two new bonus beats, "Hiking" and "Bweyy" (featuring co-producer, Swarvy); the album also marks Mnd's first ever official music video - in the form of two-fer, "Hiking" / "Fif Dim.
Donuts began simply enough as an idea to turn a particularly good demo beat tape into a full-length release, and has since became a classic hip-hop album, one of the defining works of the artist's life. Completed during a year in which J Dilla spent mostly in a hospital bed at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, Donuts would gain particular poignancy when, only three days after it's release, February 10, 2006, the artist passed away, losing his battle with a rare blood disease. Back late 2005 when Stones Throw was getting ready to release J Dilla's Donuts, they made a casual decision to use a drawing for the cover of the 2LP vinyl release, rather than the standard cover photo of Dilla used for the other releases. But now here it is, better late than never: J Dilla's classic album Donuts now released on vinyl with the smile on the cover. Cover & illustrations by Jeff Jank; photo of Dilla by Andrew Gura. Just a few months ago Stones Throw published a short back-story on the cover photo.
Madvillainy is a collaboration between rapper MF Doom and producer Madlib under the group name Madvillain. MF DOOM and Madlib were off the radar to many in 2003, but the announcement of a collaboration and the first track, "America's Most Blunted", brought all the quiet fans out of the woodwork, and let to a controversial and highly acclaimed album release in early 2004 that helped expose the two artists to a large audience for the first time. While the producer and MC both did was what completely natural to them at the time, they turned the formula of popular rap at the time on its head, creating an album that is both unique and true to it's hip-hop influences.
As one of the most-celebrated auteurs of his generation of hip hop artists, Black Milk has conditioned fans and critics to always expect the unexpected each time he releases new music. Few producers have earned the notoriety and respect he has as a musician, and when that is coupled with commanding talent as an emcee, it's no surprise that his solo releases are met with exalted anticipation. The new full-length album "No Poison No Paradise" continues Black Milk's trend of releasing material that maintains his signature sound while pushing it into new territory. Musically, each of Black Milk's releases have kept one foot dipped in classical boom-bap and the other stomping with a fierce originality and willingness to expand his listeners' sonic palate. "No Poison No Paradise" leaves behind the density and heavily- layered sounds of his 2010 release "Album of the Year" in favor of a more stripped-down approach. Some tracks showcase the raw sample-driven styles that helped make him one of Detroit's hottest young talents nearly a decade ago. Others flex some of the sophistication and musicality that have helped to make his live show among the most-acclaimed in hip hop. Whichever direction he decides to take it, all of the trademark characteristics of Black's music are fully apparent throughout the album: hard drums, melodic synths, and nimble flows. Perhaps the most noteworthy aspect of "No Poison No Paradise" is the evolution of Black Milk's lyrical style. While he's never been shy to get personal on the mic, Black introduces a refined ability as a storyteller on the new release, mostly told through the dreams of a character named Sonny. The album's songs are steeped in autobiographical themes and construct rich visceral imagery of everything from the experience of growing up in a rough working-class neighborhood of Detroit to the struggles of maintaining one's inspiration and success as an artist. Even with his lyrical progression, Black's rap styles are unquestionably sharper and more varied than ever. "No Poison No Paradise" is another accomplished full-length solo release for Black Milk, and a return to form for one of hip hop's most versatile talents. The album features guest appearances by Grammy-Award winners Black Thought (The Roots), Robert Glasper, and Dwele, as well as long-time collaborators Will Sessions, Mel, and Ab.

A medical pouch comprised of two separate web materials, one web material being notched and cut at an openable pouch end and the second web, along a line aligned essentially with the cut line of the first web, being cut in the line portions overlying the unnotched portions of the first web and serrated in the line portions overlying the notched portions of the first web. The pouches are manufactured by a process including the steps of removing at least one notched zone from one of the webs prior to sealing the two webs together and then cutting through both webs along a transverse line passing through the center of the notched zone, such cutting occurring only in the line portions corresponding to the unnotched areas of the first web and simultaneously serrating the second web along a line essentially conforming to the aforementioned cut line only in the line portions corresponding to the notched zone of the first web.
1. A pouch roll comprising:
(a) a first elongate web having at least one notch cut therein at regular spaced intervals along the web length, said web being cut along a plurality of transverse lines, each of said cut lines passing through substantially the center of one of said notches; and

This invention relates to improvements in medical pouches and methods of forming such pouches. More particularly, the invention relates to an improved process for manufacturing medical pouches in roll form and to the pouches produced by such process.
Several types of medical pouches are available in the marketplace. One of the more common types of pouches is manufactured from two separate web materials, one being porous to allow relevant gases or steam to pass therethrough and the other being a transparent, heat sealable film or laminate to allow visual inspection of the pouch contents. Where visual inspection of the contents is unnecessary, an opaque material may be utilized instead of a transparent material. Also, nonporous web materials can be employed for those applications where sterilization is accomplished by methods other than gas or steam (e.g. radiation sterilization). Pouches have been produced for some time in a roll form wherein a plurality of the pouches are initially connected together. An important disadvantage of conventional roll form pouch construction techniques is that they are designed for severing each individual pouch from the roll as it is desired for use and are generally not suitable for sterilization. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, individual pouch input is unsatisfactory for automatic, high speed pouch loading and sealing equipment.
In the health care field, manufacturers normally purchase individual medical pouches, banded 100 per bundle in boxes of 1000, more or less, depending on the pouch size so that the corrugated carton weighs less than 40 pounds for ease of handling by the workers. In order to package a device, the operator must first obtain pouches from the bundles and open each pouch one at a time, inserting a device in each pouch followed by sealing of the pouch and repacking the filled pouches for sterilization in suitable corrugated cartons for shipment to the hospitals. Needless to say, such an operation is time consuming.
Currently, the in-hospital packaging systems use bags supplied in boxes of 250, or other count, depending on the pouch size and the supplier's standards. In addition, a continuous roll of 100 feet of "tubing" or "rollstock" comprising a web of porous paper sealed along the outer edges to a laminate of polypropylene to polyester film enables the hospital workers to cut off lengths of rollstock and produce individual pouches. The process is somewhat cumbersome in that the rollstock must be cut from the roll, one cut end must be sealed, the product inserted, and the second cut end must be sealed. This process is repeated for each pouch prepared for sterilization.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,254,828 to Lerner discloses a flexible container strip formed of first and second plies joined together along the sides of the strip. The two plies are transversely sealed together at spaced intervals along the length of the strip so as to define a plurality of containers having closed end portions and opposite end portions. These containers are oriented in the same direction with the opposite end portions of each container being connected to the closed end portion of an adjacent container by one ply having perforations extending transversely thereof. The other of the plies is formed with transverse slit openings spaced along the length of the strip, the slit openings into each container being located adjacent to its opposite end portion. While the Lerner containers provide a number of advantages when utilized in conjunction with automatic loading and sealing equipment, the container construction has several disadvantages when it is desired to have the slit openings overlying the perforated connecting portions. In the manufacture of this type of container, any attempt to sever one ply to form the slit openings prior to the sealing of the two plies together would require complicated ply handling to achieve the desired result. On the other hand, any attempt after the sealing operation to sever one ply completely while simultaneously only perforating the overlying portion of the second ply would require costly specialized and highly accurate equipment.
Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide medical pouches comprised of two separate web materials in roll forms which are readily adaptable to automatic loading and sealing equipment, the pouches having one web material notched and cut at regular intervals defining a pouch length and a second web material which, along a line aligned essentially with the cut line of the first web, is partially cut in the portion overlying the unnotched portions of the first web and partially serrated in the portions overlying the notched portions of the first web.
A second object is to provide pouches in roll form in unit cartons containing 100, 250, or 500 pouches in a roll, suitable for use as in-hospital packaging.
Another object of the invention is to provide a process of manufacturing the above described pouches characterized by the steps of removing at least one notched zone from one of the webs prior to sealing the two webs together to form a plurality of pouches and then cutting through both web faces of each pouch along a transverse line passing through the center of the notched zone, such cutting occurring only in the line portions corresponding to the unnotched areas of the first web and simultaneously serrating the second web along a line essentially conforming to the aforementioned cut line only in the line portions corresponding to the notched zone of the first web.
The medical pouches of the invention offer a number of advantages over known pouches. Since the notched web face is completely severed, the pouch can be easily and fully opened by automatic loading equipment. The partially severed and partially serrated web face provides continuity from one pouch to the next during processing, while permitting ready severability of individual pouches from the roll if desired. The process of manufacturing medical pouches in accordance with the teachings of the present invention also provides a number of advantages over the known prior art processes. The notching of one web prior to the sealing of the two webs together allows the simultaneous complete severing of the notched web and the partial severing and partial serrating of the other web with conventional and inexpensive equipment. In a preferred embodiment, wherein one web is notched at a central web portion and two web edge portions, the subsequently formed serrations in the other web face in the areas overlying the edge notches provide an edge continuity that prevents pouch curl, and increased tensile strength of the serrated web. The edge continuity provides improved processing characteristics, during manufacture of the product, and during filling of the pouches.
The invention, its objects and advantages will become more apparent by referring to the accompanying drawings and to the ensuing detailed description of the preferred embodiment which follows.
FIG. 1 is a schematic drawing showing diagramatically the processing of two webs to form a plurality of medical pouches in roll form;
FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the notching of one web at the notching station of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a plan view showing the sealing of the two webs together at the sealing station of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a plan view showing the cutting and serrating of the two webs at the cutting and serrating station of FIG. 1.
Referring now to the drawings, a supply roll of porous web material 10, such as paper, is fed from an unwind station A to a notching station B where an elongated central notch or notches 12 and two edge notches 14 are cut at spaced intervals along the length of the web in the manner illustrated in FIG. 2. After the notching operation, the web 10 is fed from the notching station B to a sealing station C.
A supply roll 16 of a heat sealable film laminate material, such as polyester/polyethylene, is also fed from the unwind station A around rollers 18 and 20 to the sealing station C where it overlies the notched, porous web material 10.
At the sealing station C the two webs 10 and 16 are heat sealed together in zones spaced along the length of the webs between the notches 12 and 14 cut in the web 10. As best shown in FIG. 3, the sealed web portions comprise the two longitudinal strips 22 and 24, respectively, and a transverse U-shaped strip 26 connecting one end of each of the two longitudinal strips which define the two sides and closed end of a medical pouch. Advantageously, a plurality of pouches are formed by repetitive operative cycles of the sealing station C, all oriented in the same direction.
From the sealing station C, the webs 10 and 16 are advanced to the cutting and serrating station D, where the web 10 is severed along a transverse cut line 28 extending substantially through the centers of the notches 12 and 14. Simultaneously with the severing of the web 10, the web 16 is severed along a line 30 essentially overlying the cut line 28 of the web 10 but only in those portions of the web face 16 corresponding to the unnotched areas of the web 10 and serrated along the same line 30 in those portions of the web face 16 corresponding to the notched areas of the web 10. The severing of the webs 10 and 16 provides an openable end portion for each pouch while the serrations provide a means of connecting adjacent pouches.
From the cutting and serrating station D, the webs 10 and 12 are fed past a sync control station E, which controls the advancement of the webs 10 and 16 and the operative cycles of the various work stations to a rewind station F.
From the above, it can be seen that the present invention provides pouches having improved constructural design and a process for producing such pouches using conventional pouch-making equipment. While the foregoing description and drawings have made reference to a preferred embodiment of the invention which includes medical pouches manufactured from a notched web of porous paper and a heat sealable film laminate web, it is understood that the pouches of this invention can be constructed from a variety of materials which may be bonded together by any one of several known bonding techniques. The two webs may be comprised of the same or different materials. The webs may be made from porous or non-porous materials which may be transparent or opaque. Suitable web materials include film laminates comprising a combination of thermoplastic films such as a polyester/polyethylene made by coextrusion techniques, or by extruding a lower melting thermoplastic film onto a previous extruded thermoplastic film having a higher melting point, or adhesive laminating of two previously prepared films, whether made by blown film techniques, cast-film extrusion techniques or other processes well known in the art of plastic processing. Where a film laminate is employed, one or more of the films in the laminate may be oriented, biaxially oriented or cross-linked by radiation or other means. Other types of suitable film laminates include polyester films coated with heat seal coatings applied by extrusion, latex or solution coating or hot melt techniques. Typical porous materials suitable for use as a web material include bleached, sterilizable Kraft paper, preferably having a base weight between 35 and 45 pounds per ream in the uncoated state or coated with heat sealable latex coatings typically of the EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) type; pattern coated, bleached, sterilizable Kraft paper, spunbonded polyolefins such as that produced by E. I. DuPont under the tradename of Tyvek, etc. Transparent film webs may be made from laminates of transparent polyesters with polyethylene, polypropylene and other suitable transparent polyolefins. The polyester/polyethylene combinations generally employ polyester films having a thickness from about 0.5 mils to about 1 mil in conjunction with polyethylene films having thicknesses from about 1 mil to about 2.5 mils. The polyethylene may be extrusion coated or adhesive laminated to the polyester. Other suitable polyester/polyolefin laminates have similar thicknesses and are prepared in a similar manner. Also, unsupported thermoplastic films may be used in place of film laminates where appropriate.
While the foregoing descriptions have made specific reference to heat sealing as the preferred means for joining the two webs, it is understood that other suitable bonding means such as various formulations of natural latex may be used. Typically, heat seals produced with the combinations described herein are peelable, i.e. the two webs may be peeled apart when the pouch contents are to be removed and thus are particularly suitable for use in the health care field. Furthermore, either one of the two webs can be notched and severed provided that the other web is partially cut and partially serrated in the manner taught herein.
The pouches produced in accordance with this invention in roll form and as previously mentioned, are readily adaptable to automatic loading and sealing equipment. Obviously, the time required for device manufacturers to package their devices is substantially reduced. The pouches of the invention are also employed where manual loading operations are involved such as in in-hospital packaging systems. Significant savings in time are attained for such manual operations. These savings are attributable to a large extent to the ease of opening, separating and handling the pouches in roll form. Pouches suitable for manual loading operations are often supplied in a unit container containing the equivalent of multiple, or multiples plus fractions of 100 pouches per roll.
Thus, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that while the articles and process of the invention have been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments thereof, that variations and modifications can be effected within the spirit and scope of the invention.

CBNNews.com - GORI, Georgia - IsraAID, an umbrella organization for several Israeli relief groups, is bringing much-needed aid to residents of Gori, following Russia's mid-August military offensive in Georgia.
Gori's estimated 65,000 refugees include some who fled nearby South Ossetia when Russia invaded and residents of Gori, whose homes were destroyed during the fighting.
Israel Flying Aid is producing some 3,000 cooked meals a day for 5,000 people living in a refugee camp in the city.
Shachar Zehavi, IsraAID director, said aid efforts underscore that "Israeli civilian aid can get anywhere and help anyone in need and that the Jewish people are among the first to help."
I Relief, another Israeli aid group, brought seven trauma treatment professionals to help train Georgian teachers and social workers in trauma therapy for war-weary survivors.
The Jewish Agency and B'nai Brith are also helping to distribute aid in Gori.
Until the Russians leave and people can return to their villages and towns to resume normal life, the Israeli aid organizations will continue doing everything they can to help.

Philippine Standard Time
Philippine Standard Time (Filipino: Pamantayang Oras ng Pilipinas, abbreviated PST), also known as Philippine Time (PHT) and informally Juan Time, is the official name for the time in the Philippines. The country only uses one time zone (UTC+08:00), and for a short period, it also used daylight saving time which is known as Philippine Savings Time (abbreviated PHST) as an emergency measure.
Geographic details[edit]
Geographically, the Philippines lies within 116°40′ and 126°34′ east of the Prime Meridian, and is physically located within the UTC+08:00 time zone. Philippine Standard Time is maintained by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). The Philippines shares the same time zone with Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, most parts of China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Brunei, central Indonesia, and Western Australia.
Philippine Standard Time was instituted through Batas Pambansa Blg. 8 (that defined the metric system), approved on 2 December 1978 and implemented on 1 January 1983. The Philippines is one of the few countries to officially and almost exclusively use the 12-hour clock in non-military situations.

Use of daylight saving time[edit]
The Philippines currently does not observe daylight saving time, although it was enforced for short periods during the presidency of Manuel L. Quezon in 1936-1937, Ramon Magsaysay in 1954, Ferdinand Marcos in 1978, and Corazon Aquino in 1990.[1]
Juan Time[edit]
Television and radio stations in the Philippines display the time, but varied from a few seconds to minutes. In September 2011, the Department of Science and Technology proposed to synchronise time nationwide in an effort to discourage tardiness. PAGASA installed a rubidium atomic clock, a GPS receiver, a time interval counter, distribution amplifier and a computer to help calculate the time difference with every satellite within its antenna's field of view.[2]
On May 15, 2013, President Benigno Aquino III signed Republic Act No. 10535, better known as the "The Philippine Standard Time (PST) Act of 2013" as a last step to finally implement the Juan Time. Effective June 1, 2013, all government offices and media networks will be required to use Philippine Standard Time as a basis to set their timepieces.[3][4]

The UK star likes what she sees across the pond.
Following rumors that Pippa Middleton was growing tired of Great Britain's ways, a new report seems to suggest that the socialite is moments away from purchasing a NYC pad.
According to the UK's Daily Mail the British starlet has taken an interest in an extravagant apartment, neighboring Central Park.
A sighting begs Pippa entering the residential building along with the realtor.
The Duchess' sister reportedly was seen meeting up with a big time NYC realtor who was starting sales on a luxury building in the Big Apple last month. The unit that Pippa's interested in is a three bedroom property valued at a jaw-dropping $17 million.
Time out… What exactly does Pippa do for a living where she can afford shelling out that kind of cash? Oh, that's right, she has a party planning company...
Anyways, the building also has two-bedroom and one-bedroom units as well. The reason that the report has narrowed in on the three-bedroom pad, is because that layout is all that is available.
"When Pippa was here a few weeks ago, she went into a building on East 57th street and had a meeting with a high-end realtor who was planning sales for a mega property in the city," a source said.
And – based on published renderings for the unit – the apartment is straight up posh.
With an open, loft design, custom hardwood floors, gymnasium-high ceilings and glass walls all around.
Also included in the complex is a "screening and performance room," a yoga studio, a library – with billards and a mega aquarium and a swimming pool and a private fitness center.
Now that's living like royalty without actually being royalty…
In addition to setting down US roots, Pippa is expected to start promoting her book, A Year of Festivities for Families and Friends, soon.

This was a great beef stew! I made a few modifications- I used only 1 onion, added a packet of dry onion soup mix, I used frozen stew veggies, and in the end added a little more beef broth as I thought it was a bit dry. I chopped the onion and put all my dry ingredients in a zip top bag the night before and in the morning all I had to do was shake up the meat in it and add the broth. I added my frozen stew veggies after about 8 hours of cooking on low and turned it to high for an hour. Thanks for a great, easy recipe!
Ellen, you did great! This is very tasty and very easy to prepare. I have made this several times and have added sliced carrots and mushrooms (personal preferences)and it is wonderful. Left-overs (when there are any) are highly sought after. We like to serve over hot biscuits. Thanks for sharing a great recipe! Update 12/1/08 - This is just as wonderful as the first time I reviewed. For a nice depth in flavors, I now add 2 TBS. tomato paste. This is our favorite Beef Stew Recipe.
This recipe is the reason I LOVE Recipezaar!! I look up an "oldie" recipe and get a twist I never would have thought of! Thanks Ellen for the recipe. I think the Worstershire & Paprika are brilliant. I tossed the meat in flour, salt, peper and all-season before putting in the pot but otherwise followed the recipe to the Tee. Cheers from Down Under! ;)
This one is a keeper, I base this on my picky fiance's reaction, when he likes something. The only thing I did different was add frozen "stew veggies." I found it in the frozen food section and it had carrots, celery, potatoes and onions all chopped up. What a lifesaver! Thank for a yummy comfort food recipe.
Confession time- I didn't make this, my DH did. Even so, it tasted really good. He pretty much stuck with the recipe except that he added some carrots, and didn't use the Kitchen Bouquet (didn't have any), and only used 1 onion. It was nicely flavorful and hearty; served with corn muffins.
Followed recipe has given by Ellen and have to say it was the best beef stew I ever had.My husband really liked it-and for him to say so is something in its self.Wonderful!
This recipe is great! Tastes good, is easy and can't beat the convenience of coming home to a meal already to eat. I didn't have any worcestershire sauce and skipped the paprika,it still turned out yummy. I had to have carrots instead of the celery though and a loaf of french bread to go with. mmmmmm.
I halved the recipe and only cooked for two people. A few modifications are made. 1) I coated the beef with salt and pepper, then browned it in butter. 2) Reduced flour amount and added 1/4 cup red wine. 3) Added a cup of chopped carrots. The result was pretty good but I think that it could be better.
Made a half batch with my only change being to add carrots. It was my first homemade beef stew and it turned out wonderfully!
This is a tasty recipe! I did 1/2 the onions and added some carrots. Yummy! Will make again!

Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention "As Attorney General, I work each day toward creating safer communities for children – communities in which parents feel confident that their kids are safe from school violence, sex offenders, and even online predators. However, children also face an equally serious threat from a less obvious culprit: lead." Attorney General Lisa Madigan Is Lead Poisoning a Serious Danger to the Health and Safety of My Kids? The dangers of lead poisoning are very real. Most harmful to children ages six and younger, lead poisoning can cause irreversible neurological damage, intelligence loss, attention disorders, and behavioral and other developmental problems. How Are Children Exposed to Lead Poisoning? Children are most commonly exposed to lead poisoning through lead-based paint in older homes. Although lead-based paint was banned for use in housing in 1978, homes built before the ban may still contain the leaded paint. Poisoning most often occurs as a result of children inhaling or ingesting either lead dust or paint chips. Children may also be exposed to lead contained in children's products. While accessible lead in consumer products has been banned, discoveries of both accessible lead and lead paint in or on children's toys and clothing have prompted millions of unit recalls. How Can I Find Out if My Child Has Lead Poisoning? For the most part, unless lead poisoning is very severe, symptoms are rare. It is virtually impossible to detect without a blood test. What Can I Do to Protect My Children from Lead? Lead poisoning is completely preventable. You can protect your children by following some basic guidelines: Get your children, ages six months through six years, tested for lead each year. If you live in an older home, have it inspected for lead. Call the Illinois Department of Public Health's Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program at 1-800-545-2200. Regularly wet clean floors, windowsills, and other surfaces. Take off shoes before entering the house. Wash children's hands before they eat, after they play outside, and before they go to sleep. Find out if you have any recalled products in your home. A list of recalled products is available at www.cpsc.gov. You can also visit www.KidsInDanger.org for more information on recalled products. Stay up-to-date on recalled products. You can sign up to receive e-mail notification of recalls at www.cpsc.gov. Kids In Danger also sends out monthly e-mail alerts, which you can sign up for by visiting www.KidsInDanger.org or calling 312-595-0649. Where Can I Get More Information? If you would like to know more about lead poisoning and the presence of lead in children's products, Kids In Danger, a nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring the safety of children's products, has released an important report titled, Playing With Poison: Lead Poisoning Hazards of Children's Product Recalls 1990-2004. Playing With Poison provides information about the causes of lead poisoning and its harmful effects on children; ways to protect your family from lead; details on children's products recalled for lead; and recommendations to help keep products with lead from ever reaching our kids. Playing With Poison can be obtained in its entirety at www.KidsInDanger.org. The recall list on the back of this sheet was excerpted from that report. Children's Products Recalled for Lead Hazard 1990 – 2005 For more information, find complete recall information on these products at www.cpsc.gov or call Kids In Danger at 312-595-0649.

The only thing I love more than a good sequel is a bad sequel. Taking that concept and running with it, TNM Austin's Artistic Director Alex Berry and With Leather writer Brandon Stroud are taking the movie pitch process and tearing it to shreads. The first of its kind, this show is a competition to write sequels to movies that do not need it (which is arguably every sequel). This 3 round competition includes a prepared pitch, a pitch written on the spot by audience suggestion, and finally an impromtu pitch all culminating in a grand champion. See the debut episode April 19th!

As I looked out my window at my neighbor's yard, I watched a young buck mule deer browse on the lower branches of her ash tree. So continuing our discussion of deer deterrence, short of imprisoning your yard with an eight-foot fence, we have plant selection as one more of the techniques to discourage deer nibbling.
The familiar "pop-up" sun shades will be springing up like the flowers that follow rain showers for the second annual Celebrate Cedaredge street fair on Saturday.
The event's main draw again will be free booth space on Main Street attracting crafters, artisans, and vendors of all kinds to set up in anticipation of a crowd of spring shoppers.
The Orchard City Irrigation District Board of Directors acknowledged during a special meeting on May 18 that its policy on water delivery allocations and "shrink" charges may need to be revised.
Board members approved a motion to look again at the policies that were adopted earlier this year.
Memorial Day observances were conducted by Grand Mesa VFW Post #9221 and Ladies Auxiliary at Cedaredge, Eckert and Cory cemeteries on Monday.
Post Commander Gary Tollefson traced the history of the observance from its beginnings as a remembrance of those who lost their lives fighting in America's Civil War.
Pastor John Copper noted in his remarks that the day commemorates "every single service person who has given their life" for the freedoms Americans enjoy. He estimated that number of war dead throughout the nation's history at 1.5 million.
Fifty Cedaredge High School seniors ascended the graduation stage last Saturday at the school, and 50 new alumni from a high-achieving class of 2015 descended with diplomas in hand ready to take on new challenges in life.
In the process, the Class of 2015 heard some advice from its graduation-day speakers.
Valedictorians Kristin Gardner and Ryan Latta issued inspiring calls to their classmates to step up and meet the coming challenges of a more unsheltered adult life.
Gardner said that "life's challenges feed the flame" that is within each individual. She encouraged grads to "ignite your fire," and not be afraid of the future that lies ahead.

Stock futures are mixed this morning after yesterday's deep
sell-off with only slim losses for the Dow and S&P futures and
the Nasdaq trading unchanged to slightly higher. Geo-political
turmoil, however, continues threaten any rebound in prices as
traders nervously eye developments tied to Syria, the debt ceiling
and Fed tapering. And although today's housing data is expected to
show a contraction in pending home sales, a surprise to the upside
could also spook investors if statistics provide the Fed with

Overseas markets were all lower following the lead of the U.S.

|Criterion G
|The Cloncurry Post Office has had a long connection with the people of Cloncurry and the surrounding district as a provider of vital communication services which have been conducted from this site since 1883.
|The Cloncurry Post Office is a single storey timber building, which was built in 1906 and superseded an 1883 post office on site. Land in the Cloncurry district was taken up by pastoralists from the mid-1860s. Access to artesian water from the 1890s enabled the grazing of sheep and cattle to flourish in what is essentially a semi-arid environment and pastoralism has been the major industry in this area. Mining also proved a significant activity in the district, although a less stable one than pastoralism. Gold was first discovered in the area in 1867, and from the late 1860s through the last three decades of the 19th century, gold was found and mined throughout the district, although as a series of short lived fields. In 1867 Ernest Henry, often referred to as 'the father of Cloncurry', discovered copper in the area, not far from the present town of Cloncurry, although the boom era for copper mining was not reached until the early twentieth century. The township of Cloncurry was established in the early 1870s to serve a remote and isolated area in the far north west of Queensland. It was officially designated a Country Post Office in 1871 and in June that year the first postmaster was appointed, operating from temporary accommodation. In 1872 a general store and a hotel were opened, forming the nucleus for a service township. Early transportation was by horse, bullock and camel teams. Mail contractors using pack horses operated mail runs along routes radiating from Cloncurry as the demand for postal services increased in subsequent years. Cloncurry prospered in the 1880s, when prices for pastoral produce remained buoyant and mining activity increased. The first Cobb & Co coach arrived in Cloncurry in 1884, and for almost a quarter of a century provided the district with both a passenger and a mail service in the absence of a railway. The railway reached Cloncurry in 1908. The first purpose-designed Cloncurry Post Office was a small timber building comprising an office and post master's quarters, erected in 1883. In that year Cloncurry Post Office was made a Money Order Office and an official electric telegraph station. The first telegraph lines connected Cloncurry with Aramac and Boulia. In 1888 a line was established between Cloncurry and Normanton, and in 1890 Cloncurry was linked to Camooweal and Urandangie. Cloncurry had police stationed in the town from 1870 and was designated a District Court Area in 1889. The first Court sat in 1900 and in 1906 became a designated District Court. This important function could not have been carried out without the means of rapid communication provided by the post and telegraph service. In the first two decades of the 20th century, Cloncurry prospered with the boom in copper prices and the corresponding surge in copper mining activity in the district. In 1906 a new post office was designed for Cloncurry and erected at a cost of £1375/15/-. It was a large office building for post and telegraph functions, connected by a covered way to a separate postmaster's quarters. These were in the old post office, which was turned to face Scarr Street and moved behind the new building. The new post office was a standard T17 type of timber post office, with a twin porch and gable, designed by the Queensland Works Department. These were erected throughout Queensland in the period 1906-1921, although post and telegraph services became a Commonwealth responsibility after Federation. These buildings achieved a high standard of design and construction and architecturally, the T17 is the most significant of 20th century timber post office types for the quality of construction and detail, for the its resolution of climatic considerations, and for the visual appeal of its form. Many of the type have, however, been demolished or are no longer functional post offices. This post office has been extended at the side, the extension covering the area previously occupied by the old post office. A new telephone exchange was opened at Cloncurry in 1912 and in the 1920s the establishment of QANTAS in 1922 and the Flying Doctor Service in 1929 at Cloncurry made the town an epicentre of the north west. By the 1950s Cloncurry was a centre for mail, telephone and telegraph services for huge area from Normanton to Boulia and west to Camooweal. A brick extension to the post office was constructed in 1954 to house these services as well as a the control station for north west Queensland's Auxiliary Radio network. This base was moved to Mt Isa in 1964 as that centre grew in importance. The Cloncurry Post Office continues to operate as such.
|The post office is a single storey timber building set on low stumps and located prominently on the corner of Scarr and Sheaffe Streets. The original section is symmetrical in form with a projecting gable over the main public area between twin porches, the roof for which was an extension of the main roof. The porches are reached by low sets of timber steps and have timber balustrading. The roof is hipped and clad in clad in corrugated iron. A later extension with a gable roof is connected to this building and continues the materials and detail of the original.
