Went for my annual hearing test. I can still hear 7 miles away.

Audiometry is a method of testing the hearing capacity of an individual. It is used to diagnose the extent of hearing loss in a person suffering from suspected hearing loss, or other disorders of the ear. In this test each ear is tested separately. The sounds begin with the lowest frequency that is increased till the person is able to hear the sound. The patient indicates as such by raising a hand, and the audiometer reading is noted.ReplyDelete

If you cut them down then you must have stumps. I would make cuts into the top of the stumps with a saw and then treat with brushwood killer, treating any top growth from the stumps too. Treating with glysophate would also do the trick. It would be difficult to treat all the off shoots without damaging the grass but rather than spraying them you could do them very carefully by hand. By wearing a rubber glove wetted with the weedkiller and then rubbing your hand/glove over the leaves you could hit the roots in even more places. The weedkiller is absorbed by the leaves and travels down to the roots. I hope this makes sense....I feel the heat has scrambled my brain today!
You are doing the right thing but I would also feed it with a liquid acid loving plant feed often labelled as for Camellias and Rhododendrons. Not easy at the moment but if you have a water butt or when it rains (and it will) water with rain water which is acidic and better for the plant. The new growth is a good sign and the plant looks like it is well worth saving. I wouldn't cut back but wait until next spring and then cut out any dead wood only.
Lavender question - lavender can get woody after a few years and often needs replacing if this happens. You need to prune well after flowering or in late spring in order to maintain shape and size. Prune back quite hard but do not prune back past obvious growth as the plant may not recover.
Yes it is but to make sure - for your own confirmation - with your finger nail scratch off a small section of the skin/bark - if this plant or any other for that matter - is alive you will see green if not brown dead tissue.
May be a silly question but how do you know when to pick blueberries - is it purely on colour or combination of firmness, colour etc ?
One of my 2 blueberries has produced a bumper crop. whereas the other (patriot)seems to be dropping leaves and has brown leaves too and is suffering in the heat despite regular watering
Your neighbour's plant is a phormium. It is probably slugs or snails which are eating through the leaves when they emerge, young and folded. As they are bitten through when they are folded it gives the double hole effect. Actively looking for and removing the slugs and snails in spring which have probably been overwintering under the old leaves is probably the best optionor scattering slug pellets...
Loos like an Achillea. When it flowers you should post again and hopefully someone will know the variety.
Sorry, maybe I'm the idiot - you bought a pair of secateurs and then realised that you had purchased 4 pairs not 2 pairs ?!
Fairygirl I have seen only 1 ladybird this year. (Essex) Very different from last few years.
Yes, tree bees. It is common for them to use a bird box. I had them under some roof tiles above my front door a few years ago. They will move on and then you will be able to clear out the box for hopefully a different resident next year. Mine moved out toward the end of summer as I recall.

Just an FYI the pictures are all from pro- life organizations and skew how complete babies look when. Not realistic in any way, fetuses do look like aliens for most if their time on the inside.

Crater High School is a public high school in Central Point, Oregon, United States.
Small School Initiative[edit]
Beginning in the 2007-2008 school year, a program called the Small School Initiative was established in Crater after a monetary grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It essentially split Crater into four smaller schools, each with its own principal and staff members. These schools are the Crater Academy of Natural Sciences (CANS), Crater Renaissance Academy (CRA), Crater School of Business, Innovation & Science (BIS), and Crater Academy of Health and Public Services (CAHPS). CANS was closed and now there are only 3 schools at Crater.
In 1983, Crater High School was honored in the Blue Ribbon Schools Program, the highest honor a school can receive in the United States.[3] Crater Students normally come from Hanby Middle School and Scenic Middle School.
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (July 2010)
The cross country team has won four consecutive boys 5A state titles. The girls softball team has won three consecutive 5A state titles.
Educational outcomes[edit]
In 2008, 88% of the Crater Academy of Health & Public Services school's seniors received their high school diploma. Of 75 students, 66 graduated, 3 dropped out, and 6 are still in high school.[4][5]
86% of the Crater Academy of Natural Sciences school's seniors received their high school diploma. Of 72 students, 62 graduated, 3 dropped out, 2 received a modified diploma, and 5 are still in high school.[4][5]

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In this course, author Josh Harris demonstrates time-stretching techniques in four of the major digital audio workstations: Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Reason, and Ableton Live. Josh covers the basic time-stretching treatments, where minimal tempo adjustment is needed, and then moves into more difficult territory—remixing at a much slower or faster tempo than what the original tracks were recorded at—where time stretching is pushed to the extreme. Another technique shows how to create a composite vocal from multiple time-stretched tracks. Each lesson employs real-world musical examples to clearly show where each time-stretching technique is useful and how the results of time stretching affect the sound of a song.
Since I own all four of the DAWs covered in this course I've been able to spend many hours over the years, finding their strengths and limitations with time stretching audio. When the time stretches just a few BPM different from the original BPM, I generally use the time stretching algorithms of the DAW that I am working in for that particular project. If I'm faced with an unusually large time stretch, I will time stretch the vocals in several different programs and then pull all of the different time stretches into the DAW that I'm working in so that I can audition each one side by side.
This strategy is very effective and can sometimes be the difference between creating a usable time stretch vocal and unusable one. I hope this gives you a better understanding of how I use these tools to achieve the best quality vocal time stretch possible. I can't stress enough that when it comes to doing a full vocal mix, your remix really is only as good as the quality of your time stretched vocals.

I applied online. The process took 2 days – interviewed at Progressive Digital Media (San Francisco, CA) in March 2010.
The process was easy. Did a phone screening and then went for an in person interview. It was a very laid back 45 minute interview. Their philosophy is to get a feel for a person and then give the person a chance at the job (if they think the person would be a good fit). At the end of the day, they understand that they really won't know how well a person will do until they get into the job and start trying.

R o T N E V N STEPHEN J. Mou'roms BY ww/ M FIGB ATTORNEYS nired States Patent O 3,471,865 SAFETY HELMET EAR PADS Stephen J. Molitors, Ann Arbor, Mich., assignor to American Safety Equipment Corporation, Oak Park, Mich.
Filed July 24, 1968, Ser. No. 747,289 Int. Cl. A42b 1/08 U.S. Cl. 2-3 5 Claims ABSTRACT OF TIE DISCLOSURE Ear pads, for covering the ear protective portions of a full coverage safety helment shell, formed of an inner layer of a heat bondable fabric, then a cushioning layer of soft, resilient, foam plastic material, at least one layer of an energy-absorbing foam plastic material and an outer layer of thin, stiff, iiat plastic sheet, with the fabric, energy-absorbing and `outer fiat Iplastic layers all bonded l'together by heat sealing along their outer edges to form a thin, flat edge border. The pad normally tends to return to at position upon bending it into a curve so that it is retained within a curved helment shell portion by the combination of its tendency to flatten and by overlapping its border with adjacent portions of the helment.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION This invention relates to an improvement in ear pads used in so-called full-coverage helmets of the type illustrated, for exa-mple, in the U.S. Patent to Marchello, No. 3,213,463, issued Oct. 26, 1965. In prior full coverage helmets, the outer, hard shell, is made of a size and shape fto cover not only the upper part of the wearers head, -but also the sides of vthe head and particularly the ear areas.
In `such helmets, the interior yof the hard shell has been llined with an energy-absorbing liner, with :the ear portions covered by a comfort type of padding having only limited energy-absorbing capability. In- 4addition, the prior ear pads were held in place by means of an adhesive and that, coupled with their relatively expensive construction resulted in a substantial difference in cost between the full coverage type of helmets land Ithe helmets which cover only the top of the head.
Thus, the improvement vof this invention is concerned with providing an ear pad construction which is energyabsorbent, relatively inexpensive in construction and which may be mounted within the helmet without the need for adhesives and the disadvantages of time delays and hand labor required in the use of adhesives.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION Basically, the ear pads herein are constructed of a lamination of an inner plastic fabric material, a soft resilient cushioning foam plastic material, :an energyabsorbing foam plastic material and an outer layer of thin, flat sheet plastic. At least the fabric, energy-absorbing layer and outer plastic sheet are of a heat sealable or heat bondable material so that by securing these together by means of heat, the pad is ysealed and simultaneously provided with a thin edge border which may be overlapped lby ladjacent helmet liner edges and edge beads to thereby hold it in place. The pad is additionally characterized by tending to remain at and thereby upon curving it to tit within the curved ear portions of the shell, its tendency to return to the flat results in a constantly applied force which maintains it in position and prevents it from loosening and dropping out.
Thus, an object of this invention is to provide an ear pad which may be positioned and retained in place within the ear portion of the helmet Without the need for addi- 3,471,865 Patented Oct. 14, 1969 -tional mechanical fasteners or adhesives, relying upon the overlapping of its edge borders by adjacent helmet portions and upon its nonmal tendency to flatten out to frictionally maintain it in position.
A `further object of this invention is to provide an ear pad having an energy-'absorbing layer or more than one energy-absorbing layer of different density and energyabsorbing characteristics to thereby better shield the side lof the wearers head against impact forces.
These and other yobjects Vand 'advantages of this invention will become lapparent upon reading the following description, of which the attached drawings lform a part.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is lan elevational cross-sectional view of a full coverage `safety helmet.
FIG. 2 -is lan elevational view of an ear pad, before installation `into -a helmet shell.
FIG. 3 is a side elevational view of the pad of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-'sectional view taken in the direction of arrows 4-4 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 5 is an enlarged, cross-sectional lfragmentary view of the pad.
FIG. 6 is -a view, in cross-section, similar to FIG. 4, but showing the layers *before Iassembly `of the pad.
IFIG. 7 is :a perspective view of the layers making up the pad.
FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the helmet shell, showing the pads positioned therein, taken in the direction of yarrows `8 8 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 9 is an enlarged, `fragment-ary, cross-sectional view yof a side of the helmet.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION FIG. 1 illustrates a so-called full-coverage safety helmet 10 formed of a hard outer shell 11, such as of fibrous glass reinforced resin. Within the shell is a thick energyabsorbing liner 12 formed yof a suitable stiff, energyabsorbing kfoam plastic material. Where desired, the helmet may also contain an inner liner shell (not illustrated).
The outer shell includes an integral side or ear coverage shell portion 13 adapted to cover the side and ear portions of the Wearers head and extending below the energyeabsonbing liner 12.
The lower edges of the shell is trimmed with a conventional channel-shaped, nubber-like edge bead 14.
The invention herein is concerned with the ear pads 15 which are `adapted to dit within the shell to cover the ear coverage shell portion 13. Referring to FIGS. 4, 5 and 6; the ear pad is formed of tan outer, smooth, relatively stiff, plastic sheet, such as thin lgauge polyvinyl plastic sheet 16 upon which is positioned an outer, stiff. energyabsorbing layer 17 and an inner energy-absorbing layer 18, both formed of a suitable foam plastic material such as polyvinylchloride.
Where desired, only rone of the energy-absorbing layers may be used, but where two `or more are used, it is preferable to have these of different densities so as to absonb different ranges of input venergy caused by impact to the helmet.
Laid upon the layer 18 is a soft `cushioning layer 19 made of a resilient, foam plastic, such as of polyurethane. This cushioning layer is preferably formed in two sections, namely, a lower U-shaped section 20 and au upper, filler section 21 which ts within the U of the upper section and is spaced therefrom.
Completing the pad is a layer of fabric 22 formed of plastic ber, such `as of a suitable stretchable woven type, which includes knit type polyvinyl fibers or the like.
The fabric, energy-absorbing layers and outer plastic sheet are characterized by all being heat sealable or heat bondalble to eachother for fastening, Where-as the cushioning layer 19 may be made of -a plastic which is not necessarily heat bondable. Thus, all the layers but the cushioning layer are heat sealed or heat bonded together to form a peripheral edge border 25. In addition, they are further sealed together along a U-shaped sealing or bonding line 26 which separates the two sections of the cushioning layer and which tends to form a depressed line 27 on the smooth, plastic sheet 16.
The now sealed layers orm an outer cushioning roll 28 and an inner ear padding portion 29 (see FIG. 2) which, together with the inherent stiifness of the outer sheet 16, tends to maintain the pad in a flattened position. Tlhe pad may be easily curved in any direction, but upon release, tends to Hatten out. This tendency to flatten is futilized to mount the pad within the hehnet shell.
As illustrated in FIG. 1, the pad is bent and curved into the shell ear coverage portion 13 so that it curves in a horizontal position (see FIG. 8) and also in a vertical position (see FIG. 9). In addition, the upper straight portion of the pad border is inserted between the shell and the liner 12 so that the overlapping of the border by the liner tends to hold the pad in position. The curved lower portion of the pad border is likewise overlapped by the helmet edge bead 14. As illustrated in FIG. 8, two pads are necessary for each helmet, each being identical, but mirror images, land each held in position the same way.
In this manner, the pads yare mechanically held in place, without the need for adhesives or any further mechanical fasteners, simply by the overlapping of the edge border coupled with the tendency of the curved pads to atten out which exerts a pressure against the shell and main- -tains the pads in position. Since the pads are not permanently fastened within the shell, they may be easily removed lby the user for either cleaning or replacement, but will not accidentally dislodge.
The Iheat seal line 26 and the opposing depression line 27 help to increase the tendency of the pad to flatten and to resist its being curved as well as to define the outer cushioning roll 28 and the inner ear pad portion 29. Since the heat sealing assembly described above is accomplished with conventional Iheat seal-ing dies and equipment, at relatively low temperatures and :at rapid speeds the overall construction of the pad is relatively inexpensive and yet provides a substantial degree of protection against impact as well as improving comfort and yet making it easy to assemble and remove vfrom the shell.
This invention may be [further developed within the scope of the following claims. Accordingly, it is desired that the foregoing description be read las being merely illustrative of an operative embodiment of this invention, and not in a strictly limited sense.
Having 'fully described an operative embodiment of this invention, I now claim:
1. In la l`full coverage type safety helmet having an integral shell with dependent curved ear covering side portions, a liner covering the inside wall of the shell above the side portions and la Ichanneled edge bead arranged upon the free edge of the shell, ian ear pad [comprising:
a. thin, iiat, smooth, relatively stiff, plastic outer sheet covered by a layer of a relatively stili, energyabsorbing foam plastic material, upon which is positioned la layer of a soft, resilient `foam plastic material, covered in turn by a soft, wovenetype plastic tit-ber fabric;
the router sheet, energy-absorbing material and fabric,
all being characterized by being heat bondable to 4 each other and all being bonded to each other -along their peripheral edges to form a thin, narrow, edge border;
said pad being normally lsubstantially at on the outer sheet side and tending to resist curving of the pad and tending to flatten out upon curving;
said pad being peripherally shaped to conform to the shell side portion land being Iarranged therein with its outer sheet in face to face contact with the adjacent shell portion so that the pad lis curved to conform with the curvature of the shell;
said border being substantially completely overlapped by the liner Iand the edge bead -to -friotionally hold it lin place;
wherein the pad is held in place by its tendency to flatten out, thus exerting an outward force against the shell, and by the overlapping of its border.
2. A construction as dened in claim 1, and including a second energy absorbing layer of a relatively stiff, foam plas-tic material, arranged between the iirst energy-absorbing layer and the soft layer, the two energy-absorbing layers being of diiterent densities so as to absorb energy in different ranges of force.
3. A construction as defined in claim 1, and said pad having a substantially straight upper edge for overlapping by the liner, fand .a curved lower edge for loverlapping by the edge bead;
with the pad being 'approximately vertically arranged and being slightly bent into a curve in the vertical plane and considerably bent into a curve in the horizontal plane to yconform to the curvature lof the helmet shell, and ytending to flatten out so that its opposite side ends fand top and bottom portions exert an outward pressure upon the shell.
4. A construction as delined in claim 1, and said pad being normally arranged within the helmet .approximately in .a vertical plane, with :it-s upper edge being approximately straight 'and horizontal Afor being overlapped by the yliner and @its lower edge being curved into an :approximately U-shape for being overlapped by the edge bead;
and the fabric, energy-absorbing layer and plastic sheet being yfurther bonded together Ialong la U-shaped line located inwardly of lthe peripheral border edge of `the pad and approximately parallel thereto to form a U-shaped edge padded portion for surrounding an ear land 'an inner ear padding portion.
5. A construction las `defined :in claim 4, and said 'soft layer being formed of rtwo sections, namely, a lower U-s'haped section lspaced inwardly from Ithe upper and lower edges of the plastic ysheet and ,a central insert shaped to t within Ithe U-shaped but spaced a short distance from it, with the U-shaped line of bonding and the peripheral border bonding being only between the fabric, energy-absorbing layer and outer sheet and in the spaces formed between the two soft layer sections and adjacent the outer edges of the soft layer sections.

Love the place and the décor. The Staff was wonderful we enjoyed them. The breakfast was very good and the coffee the best.
Television didn't work in our room the first night. The second the staff came in & got it going. Then the next morning it didn't work again. Frustrating!! The bed was too hard to rest. Not their fault all Inn's have hard beds.

I liked the Happy Day decor. The room was very clean and the staff was helpful. The hotel was above it's rating.
The only thing I disliked was paying more for our room using Price line. If I would have called them directly I would have saved over $10.00.

I love how it was decorated in a 50s theme. It was nice and quiet and I loved that nice little diner that was close by that matched the 50s theme of the hotel. It was clean and the staff were very friendly.
It was clean, quiet and nicely decorated, and friendly staff. I would definetly come back and recommend this hotel to friends.

I work hard so I would like to find someone to enjoy my downtime with whether its laying low and watching a movie or a night on the town.
do what you love and love what you do" I'm lucky enough to say that this phrase applies to me. I'm a band director so I get to go to work every day and play music while working to inspire young people. I also have the privilege of being a member of the Houston Texans Bull Pen Pep Band, which is a blast, specially on game day. I keep a busy schedule but I have a mostly laid back personality. When i am in my comfort zone, admittedly I am a bit of a flirt and sarcasm can be like a second language for me. I am active in the music ministry at my church and if I find myself spending a lot of time with someone that is something I would like to be able to share with them. Honesty, trust, and communication are big with me. There is not a lot that I would consider a "deal breaker" with me as long as we can have an open and honest conversation about it. If I am feeling decieved or misled I will not feel comfortable spending my time with someone. I enjoy trying new things, learning about what makes other people happy and sharing the things I enjoy with others. I value family and friends so having and maintaining those relationships I think is very important and spending with them can be priceless.

Who is Will MacKenzie?
Updated: January 6, 2007, 1:03 AM ETBy Jason Sobel | ESPN.com
KAPALUA, Hawaii -- Nestled among the likes of Vijay Singh and Davis Love III and Adam Scott upon the leaderboard at the Mercedes-Benz Championship is a dude named Will MacKenzie, which should prompt one question from even the most ardent golf fanatics: Who the hell is Will MacKenzie?
Will MacKenzie is, in job title only, a golfer, though he may not like to admit it. "Man, I don't really like golf too much," he said after shooting a second-round 70 that left him one shot off the lead on Friday. ...

1313Wonderful Nanny Available
Expand Messages
- Apr 19, 2013Hi Parents,
In mid-June our daughter will be going to daycare, and our nanny Carletha Burns will be available.
Carletha is a wonderful young woman. She has been a nanny for more than 5 years, and before her time as a nanny worked at the Clifton School with infants and toddlers.
I can't say enough wonderful things about Carletha. She has her Associates degree in Early Childhood Education and is working to finish her BA in Occupational Therapy.
Carletha has been wonderful with our little girl since she was 3 months old. She's planned developmentally appropriate activities for her - working with sensory play, tummy time, art projects, walks and little field trips every week. Now she's planning other play dates during the day with other nannies she knows for socialization and play time.
I trust Carletha with everything - She always had wonderful developmental advice for me when I've asked ( as a first time mom) and is more than willing to help out around the house with everything.
Please feel free to contact me by email or phone ( 404) 583-0160 if you have any questions or you can contact her at:

In an organization, an empty seat is like an open wound. It's a painful distraction that interferes with the business's core mission.
When there's an empty seat, the work must either be redistributed or left undone, resulting in stress, costs, delays, and lost opportunity, as well as lower revenue.
What's more, hiring to fill empty seats can take weeks or months, adding strain and extra costs.

Looking for an adventurous partner in crime!
Still fairly new to SoCal (originally from Chicago), it's been a little challenging meeting people in this urban sprawl of a city. I'm naturally outgoing, apparently people say I'm funny, active, outdoorsy and looking for THE quality person to share life's journey with. I'm an ambitious, hardworking entrepreneur and would appreciate someone who challenges and supports my goals. And if you can keep up w/ me on runs longer than 3miles even better!

The present invention is directed to an aqueous oxygenated albumin composition that is useful as a human blood substitute or human blood extender, methods of manufacturing the oxygenated albumin composition, and methods of treating abnormal conditions therewith. The oxygenated albumin aqueous compositions, described herein, are capable of dissolving and transporting high concentrations of hydrophobic molecules, particularly oxygen, and releasing the oxygen in a manner similar to the release of oxygen by hemoglobin. The compositions possess many of the same physiological capabilities of whole human blood.
Albumin makes up about 62 percent of the total protein of human plasma, about 80 percent of the plasma colloidal pressure, and has been used since World War II, and continues to be used, in maintaining or restoring human plasma volume. The Standard Army and Navy Package of Dried Plasma is bulky, and therefore concentrated human serum albumin was developed to meet the needs of such groups for a concentrated blood derivative. Serum albumin has at least two known functions: it maintains the colloidal osmotic pressure of the blood and plays a role in the nutrition of the tissues. Neither plasma nor albumin solutions, however, can act as a total replacement for human blood indefinitely since they cannot supply the necessary hemoglobin and other essential blood protein constituents. However, human serum albumin is used effectively in concentrations up to about 25% by volume, and has advantages over solutions of salts and glucose in establishing safe osmotic pressure, particularly in emergency blood loss situations, e.g., in the treatment of shock hemorrhage, and other conditions associated with substantial blood loss.
Advantageously, human serum albumin can be dried to reduce volume and can be reconstituted, preferably with sterile water, prior to administration, e.g., by injection. Human serum albumin is available, for example, in 100 c.c. bottles containing 25 gm. of albumin, which is equivalent in osmotic effect to 500 c.c. of citrated plasma. Human serum albumin also is available from Bayer Healthcare, as PLASBUMIN�-25, in 20 ml. vials. PLASBUMIN�-25 is made from pooled human venous plasma using the Cohn cold ethanol fractionation process to produce a sterile solution of albumin in an aqueous diluent that is stabilized with 0.02M sodium caprylate and 0.02M acetylptophan. The approximate sodium content is 145 mEq./L., contains no preservative, and is administered intravenously.
Albumin solutions are stable, permitting transportation without refrigeration, ready for instant use, and, as with plasma, no preliminary cross-matching is necessary. A 25% w/v aqueous solution of albumin is approximately isoviscous with whole blood.
It has long been recognized in clinical medicine that an acceptable oxygen carrying and releasing resuscitation product is needed. There is currently no satisfactory non-blood product with these properties in clinical use.
Two general approaches to making such an oxygen-carrying product have been attempted either through the use of oxygen binding hemoglobin or the use of a nonpolar, fat-soluble, hydrophobic solvent system.
A third approach, that of using an aqueous system as an oxygen carrying solvent would presumably be obviated by the fact that the oxygen molecule is less than 2% soluble at physiologic temperatures in an electrolytic aqueous system such as human serum.
In the case of the hemoglobin systems the use of naked hemoglobin is toxic. Polymerized hemoglobin and hemoglobin bound to various bases, such as starch or other polymers, have proven both unstable and ineffective.
Efforts to encapsulate hemoglobin have been attempted using coacervates and liposomes. During the processing and use of liposomes the hemoglobin tends to leak from the encapsulating liposome. The liberated free hemoglobin results in the known toxicities of naked hemoglobin. Additionally, the hemoglobin that remains in the liposome does not release oxygen in the patient as needed. Some 30 years of efforts in this direction have proven unsatisfactory. The use of liposome or polymerized hemoglobin after years of trials has not been shown to be clinically useful.
The use of coacervates containing hemoglobin demonstrated both manufacturing and clinical problems. Manufacturing efforts resulted in difficulties with achieving appropriate particle sizes and with methemoglobin formation. While the toxicities of naked hemoglobin were overcome, the resultant product had difficulties carrying and releasing oxygen in a clinically effective manner.
A nonpolar solvent system can dissolve nonpolar oxygen molecules. Many such products over the past sixty years, such as the perfluorocarbons, while effective at dissolving oxygen, have clinically proven to be toxic, unstable, and ineffective. Indeed, toxicity could be anticipated from such nonpolar systems, since many of the organs in the body are nonpolar themselves. Thus the tactic of infusing large volumes of the perfluorocarbon-type nonpolar solvent systems for carrying oxygen would tend to be absorbed by and disrupt the body's organs. A typical example is that the liver, which is nonpolar in character, absorbs the perfluorocarbon with resultant hepatomegaly and liver failure. The nonpolar solvents cannot dissolve polar drugs or vitamins or other desirable polar chemical agents.
The principal users of human serum albumin are surgeons. The indications for prescribing albumin include acute hypovolemia associated with surgery, trauma, hypoproteinemia, with or without edema, adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), transplantations; obligatory extracellular space imbalance, as in severe burns, respiratory distress syndrome, and heart-lung machine pump priming. In coronary artery bypass surgery, the heart-lung machine is primed without the use of blood by using 1,000 c.c. of Ringer's lactate solution, 300 c.c. of 25% salt-poor albumin, 66.7 mEq. sodium bicarbonate or 250 c.c. trishydroxy-methyl-aminomethane, and 20 gm. of mannitol. Indications for use of human serum albumin by internists include acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage, renal dialysis, erythrocyte resuspension, sequestration of protein-rich fluids and several chronic conditions such as malabsorption, cirrhosis, acute liver failure, nephrosis, neonatal hemolytic disease, cerebral vascular accidents and ischemia.
The oxygenated albumin described herein preferably is oxygenated human serum albumin, and is more useful than non-oxygenated human serum albumin in the treatment of all of the above recited indications for prescribing albumin. The oxygenated albumin can be delivered to the human body either as a solution, or as a suspension of oxygenated albumin in sterile water.
The compositions and methods described herein stem from the unexpected finding that aqueous solutions containing up to 25% w/v concentrated amounts of hydrophilic albumin can indeed act as nonpolar solvents for delivery of oxygen and other nonpolar compounds. The most clinically useful example of this is the fact that aqueous human albumin solutions of less than 3% w/v can carry very little oxygen. However, at concentrations of around 25% w/v, human albumin in water can dissolve clinically significant quantities of oxygen. Further, as the aqueous albumin solution dilutes in the blood stream, it releases the oxygen in a manner similar to that displayed by whole human blood. No hemoglobin is required in this preparation. No other solvent system exhibits these properties except whole blood.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,777,052 discloses a plastic container for containing albumin solution having an albumin concentration of 1 to 500 mg/ml. The oxygenated albumin solutions described herein can be used with such a container in oxygenated albumin concentrations of 1 to 500 mg/ml, or any other oxygen-impermeable package, e.g., glass bottles, can be used to contain the oxygenated albumin compositions described herein.
The preferred compositions described herein comprise oxygenated albumin in an aqueous sterile physiological or serum solution. The albumin is oxygenated to increase the oxygen content up to O2 saturation with clinically useful oxygen gas. The preferred oxygen-saturated preparations, containing albumin in concentrations from about 5% w/v to about 25% w/v, are useful as clinical resuscitation preparations that release oxygen in a pattern similar to the release of oxygen by whole blood.
Since all chemicals contained in the compositions described herein are endogenous to the body and are used individually in various clinical situations, no toxicity has been found or is anticipated.
Preparations containing albumin concentrations from 25% w/v to 50% w/v and higher can contain large quantities of dissolved oxygen in a gel state. These gel oxygenated albumin preparations can release oxygen in situations in which O2 is required other than as a resuscitation fluid.
The drawing is a graph showing the predicted oxygen release of the oxygenated albumin described herein compared to the oxygen release of hemoglobin.
Ranges may be expressed herein as from "about" or "approximately" one particular value and/or to "about" or "approximately" another particular value. When such a range is expressed, another embodiment includes from the one particular value and/or to the other particular value. Similarly, when values are expressed as approximations, by use of the antecedent "about," it will be understood that the particular value forms another embodiment.
The oxygenated albumin solutions described herein are useful as an acceptable resuscitation fluid indicated for use in the clinical setting of hypotension or hemorrhage in which O2 is desired. It is an additional object of the invention to provide a convenient method for preparing a readily available resuscitation fluid that contains a supply of oxygen and water-soluble essential chemicals.
In addition to being a resuscitation fluid, other water-soluble additives can be included in oxygenated albumin composition, in addition to carrying clinically significant amounts of oxygen. Further, the oxygen is released in the blood stream in a manner similar to that of oxygen release from whole blood.
In addition this invention has the unique ability (except for whole blood) to dissolve and release soluble polar and nonpolar essential and clinic useful chemicals.
The compositions and methods described herein provide an oxygen-carrying aqueous colloidal resuscitation fluids that carry oxygenated albumin in a sterile aqueous vehicle. The albumin is oxygenated to achieve at least a 1% v/v increase in the albumin oxygen content, up to a preferred oxygen saturation of the albumin. Upon intravenous injection and subsequent dilution in the blood stream; the oxygen is released in a non-linear manner that is similar to the non-linear manner of oxygen release from hemoglobin in whole blood, as shown in the drawing.
As indicated in the drawing, hemoglobin releases oxygen to the blood stream in a standard sigmoid curve wherein the partial pressure of oxygen varies with percent oxygen saturation of the hemoglobin. The albumin curve mirrors the physiologic behavior of whole blood as the albumin is diluted from 25% w/v to 5% w/v.
The colloidal albumin compositions can be prepared by dispersing from 5% to 50% weight to volume of human serum albumin in distilled water containing, for example, 0.9% weight to volume sodium chloride. The albumin is permitted to become completely hydrated and then stirred to give a uniform dispersion of ingredients. The preparation is in a container that includes a gas bubble inlet tube. Oxygen gas then is introduced slowly into the aqueous albumin solution preparation and this oxygenation process preferably is continued until the liquid system is 100% saturated with the oxygen gas. The composition can then be stored at temperatures that preferably do not exceed 30� C. An alternative method of preparing the oxygenated albumin compositions is to purchase a readily obtainable albumin (human) 5% w/v to 25% w/v USP resuscitation composition that is clinically used as a blood volume extender. To this commercial preparation, oxygen is infused, preferably until the preparation is 100% saturated with O2 gas.
Important advantages of the oxygenated albumin compositions described herein include the following: the albumin is readily available, the ingredients individually are currently in routine clinical use with an excellent safety profile, and all substances contained in the compositions occur naturally in the mammalian body. The equipment and methods required for oxygenating the albumin solution are routinely used in the pharmaceutical industry. The chief advantage of the compositions and methods described herein is that upon intravenous injection or transfusion, the oxygenated albumin composition can establish and maintain the desired osmotic pressure while supplying the needed oxygen to the patient. In addition to supplying oxygen, the composition can, at the same time, supply needed pharmacological and physiological oil-soluble and/or water-soluble compounds. No other resuscitation fluid, besides whole blood, can perform in this manner.
The compositions described herein can transport and transfer to the human body a number of other materials in addition to oxygen, such as carbon dioxide, therapeutic agents, physiological entities, nutrients and enzymes.
The basic unoxygenated albumin preparation, as currently in clinical use as a blood volume extender, can diffuse and pass through the circulatory system, and are metabolized and excreted without a problem. Accordingly, the oxygenated version of the albumin described herein, using the same albumin but now transporting and providing oxygen, has no difficulties with its behavior in-vivo.
The amount, route, rate, temperature, storage, equipment and routine of administration necessary for the use of the oxygenated albumin compositions described herein are equivalent to that of the non-oxygenated albumin blood extenders currently in use.
The following in-vitro experiment was conducted to test the oxygen carrying capacity of oxygenated human serum albumin.
The oxygen carrying capacity of albumin compositions having increasing albumin concentrations was shown by the following in-vitro experiment. Four aqueous albumin compositions were tested as follows: (1) 3% albumin, (2) 10% albumin, (3) 25% albumin (Bayer Corporation) PLASBUMIN�-25 and (4) 50% albumin. Compositions used as controls were as follows (5) saline solution and (6) saline solution with 5% stroma free hemoglobin. Oxygen was bubbled through each preparation for 60 minutes at 37� C. The results were as follows:
A similar experiment using egg albumin would provide similar results.

MIDDLEBURY — The town of Middlebury is applying for a $15,000 federal grant to plan for a local, passenger rail station in anticipation of ramped-up train service along the western part of the state.
Middlebury Town Manager Bill Finger said making progress toward a passenger rail station would also likely enhance the community's chances for landing federal aid to replace the two railroad underpasses on Main Street and Merchants Row. Those two underpass projects have been on the Vermont Agency of Transportation's to-do list for several years.
MIDDLEBURY — An ad hoc committee studying the feasibility of a major retail-commercial-residential project on town- and college-owned land behind Middlebury's Ilsley Public Library will update the public on its work early next year.
At issue is an "Economic Development Initiative (EDI)" being crafted by the town and Middlebury College. It's a project intended to complement the recently completed Cross Street Bridge and the new entrepreneurial opportunities the new downtown structure could present.
MIDDLEBURY — Green bean casserole, cranberry sauce and Aunt Betty's traditional, unidentifiable Jell-O salad aside, some students at Middlebury College do not even know what Thanksgiving — a uniquely American holiday — actually is.
In his freshman year, Aubrey Dube, a junior from Botswana, went home with his roommate to Westchester, N.Y., and experienced his first Thanksgiving.
"It was weird because people eat until they drop," Dube said. "I thought, 'Wait, what? Are we seriously doing this?' They were eating and taking breaks and going back to eat."
MIDDLEBURY — The Better Middlebury Partnership (BMP) has minted some new currency to promote downtown shopping, as well as the downtown itself.
The BMP has produced a new version of the "Middlebury Money," checks that can be purchased in various denominations for transactions at local retail, dining and lodging establishments. Middlebury Money was first "minted" around 15 years ago. At its peak, approximately $27,000 worth of Middlebury money was sold in one year, sparking business for local merchants and service providers.

MIDDLEBURY — "Challenges for Change" has largely been portrayed as an effort by the Douglas administration and the 2010 Legislature to save $38 million in state spending by making government programs more lean and efficient.
And while the new directive has sent many public entities scrambling to make deep cuts, a few enterprising nonprofits are poised to receive some budget increases for some innovative programs that could help the state save more money in the long run to meet the Challenges goal.
MIDDLEBURY — The turkeys are flying off the shelves at Helping Overcome Poverty's Effects (HOPE's) headquarters on Boardman Street, leaving officials concerned about being able to meet the demand of needy families this Thanksgiving and Christmas.
As of last Wednesday, 223 Addison County households had signed up for a turkey and related side dishes from the local poverty-fighting agency. HOPE has thus far ordered a total of 325 birds to cover special meals for qualifying families on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
MIDDLEBURY — Andrew Freeman willingly posted on Facebook footage of himself tumbling haphazardly over the Otter Creek Falls in downtown Middlebury in a kayak and is encouraging people to watch it and to tell their friends to do the same.
If he gets enough people to watch it — and like it — he'll will a grant.
Freeman's video, which he wrote and shot at various locations around Vermont on behalf of the Middlebury College Mountain Club (known also as MMC), was recently chosen as one of four finalists for fabric manufacturer Polartec's "Made Possible" grant.
MIDDLEBURY — UD-3 school district administrators on Tuesday presented their first draft of a 2011-2012 budget that not only meets the state's "Challenges for Change" guideline of 2.15-percent spending cut ($341,000), it beats it by almost $70,000.
MIDDLEBURY — Jutta Miska on Monday recalled setting up a makeshift gathering spot for area teens around 17 years ago in the Middlebury Recreation Department's old warming hut.
Local teens took to the space, but it was available only for a few years. And thus the seemingly perennial quest for a Middlebury teen center slogged on.
Until now.
MIDDLEBURY — The Addison County Solid Waste Management District (ACSWMD) board is considering a 2011 budget of $2,410,761 that reflects a 1.9-percent increase in spending, but would not result in any boost in tipping fees at the district transfer station in Middlebury.
In fact, disposal fees for some recyclables are projected to go down, due to a more lucrative market for such items and because of the provisions of a new electronics waste law that will soon take effect.

Ultra-thin nitrided SiO2 (10 Å SiON) and high-k HfO2 gate dielectric thin film metrology and chemical characteristics are studied using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Different specimen preparation methods and TEM analytical techniques are compared to understand their impacts on the results. Ultra thin SiON thickness measured by using high resolution TEM (HRTEM), is different from results obtained by high resolution scanning TEM (HR-STEM) using high-angle annular dark field detector (HAADF) and also different from using electron energy loss spectrometry (EELS). A standard TEM metrology approach for ultra-thin gate dielectric needs to be established throughout the industry and best practices are suggested.

What a story!,
This review is from: Catch Me Before I Fall: Her Colour Made Her Different - The True Story of a Shattered Childhood (Hardcover)
In this book, there is a story of a childhood which would have scarred anyone emotionally. Despite this, the book is written without the "poor me" attitude which is so often seen. Rosie is honest and matter of fact about her awful start in life. This is the story of an incredible woman who has survived in spite of our Social Services and Mental Health Services Systems. There is a powerful message of hope, a valuable lesson for service workers (for we still treat the symptoms,not the cause of mental illnesses today) and above all, a story of triumph for Rosie. You won't be disappointed with this book. I wasn't.
