Premium Gem 1849 Closed Wreath Gold Dollar1849 G$1 Closed Wreath MS66 PCGS. Boldly hubbed date. While the Closed Wreath is significantly less famous than its one-year-only Open Wreath predecessor, in Premium Gem it is a condition rarity that should not be underestimated. This MS66 example has strong apricot tints over a sun-yellow base and swirling luster around. Liberty's portrait displays intricate detail, as does the wreath, though the stars show a touch of softness in their centers. As expected for the grade, the surfaces are magnificently smooth aside from a few shallow marks near the truncation of the bust. Population: 4 in 66 (1 in 66+), 0 finer (1/13).(Registry values: P4) (PCGS# 7503)

The commonest habit was that of Cigarette Smoking followed by different forms of chewing tobacco (Patti, Qiwam, Niswar etc). CHEWING AND SMOKING HABITS IN KARACHI TOBACCO PRODUCTION IN PAKISTAN • In the 1990 – 91 season tobacco was grown on 439,000 Hectares & 75,000 Tones of different varieties of tobacco were produced. • During the same year 29,887 million cigarettes were manufactured in Pakistan. SMOKING HABITS IN KARACHI What are the tobacco-related diseases that are contributing to all these deaths? HEALTH EFFECTS OF TOBACCO SMOKING • Tobacco has significant effects on the portal of entry (mouth, throat, lung) and after absorption on nearly all the systems of the body. • The major effects of tobacco derived chemicals is to produce CARCINOMAS (cancers) when they come into contact with different epithelia either at the time of entry or on excretion. • Smoking leads to CHRONIC BRONCHITIS (commonest disease amongst smokers) which ultimately leads to EMPHYSEMA. • Cancers of lung is a major hazard of smoking & over 90 % of lung cancers are seen in smokers. HEALTH EFFECTS OF TOBACCO SMOKING • Along with diet, cigarette smoking is one of the major etiological factors in producing ATHEROSCLEROSIS OF CORONARY ARTERIES subsequently leading to ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION. • NICOTINE, the major addictive agent in tobacco increases the heart rate and blood pressure. • Carbon monoxide & carbon dioxide of the smoke, affect the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood. • Tobacco also decreases HDL levels.

If smoking is so bad for us, why do we start? Tobacco Myths • Myth: Clove cigarettes are less harmful than regular cigarettes. • Myth: Cigars are safe • Myth: It's OK to smoke as long as it's a "natural" cigarette What is a cigar? Cigar Use: Using beauty and fame to promote a dirty, devastating habit What is marijuana? A drug obtained from the flowering tops of the female cannabis or hemp plant What is a blunt? A blunt is when you take a cigar and slice it open removing the tobacco and replacing it with marijuana. Hookahs: • Not safer than regular tobacco smoke. • Causes the same diseases • Raises the risk of lip cancer, spreading infections like tuberculosis. • Users ingest about 100 times more lead from hookah smoke than from a cigarette. TOBACCO CONTROL • In 1600's a number of countries banned the use of tobacco due to its harmful effects. • But the addictive nature of the product turned it into a lucrative trade. • Gradually the governments found taxes on tobacco a good of revenue & now they become addicted to these taxes. • In the developing world the tobacco industry, controlled mostly by British and American companies. • In PAKISTAN a number of voluntary organizations and individuals have been carrying on a campaign, but its impact is mostly on the educated class. • Cancer society of KARACHI has been producing pamphlets, posters and a bimonthly tobacco news letter. • It has also with the assistance of WHO produced a film for School Children. • In 1994 on the appeal of a LAWYER from Rahim Yar Khan, the Ombudsman issued orders banning all tobacco advertisements on TV but then PTV appealed to the PRESIDENT to reverse it. • Restriction on advertisements and sponsorship of sporting events is one of the major demands of tobacco control. Think About Quitting • P i c k a q u i t d a te • Keep a record of why, when, where and with whom you smoke • Get support and encouragement from your family, friends, and health providers. The Quit Plan: • Treat yourself well • Drink lots of water • Change your routines • Reduce stress • Deep breathing • Regular exercise • Do something enjoyable every day • Increase non-smoking social support • Other ideas? TOBACCO FREE INITIATIVE (TFI) BACKGROUNDS / INTRODUCTION: • More than 70,000 scientific articles have established tobacco as the leading cause of premature death & disabling disease. • More than 11,000 people die from tobacco related diseases every day. • World wide mortality from tobacco is likely to rise from about 4 million deaths a year in 1999 to about 10 million a year in 2030 TOBACCO FREE INITIATIVE (TFI) • The government of PAKISTAN identified smoking as one of the country's leading causes of morbidity and mortality in its December 1997 health policy. • Tobacco Free Initiative–Pakistan (TFI-Pak) project was introduced in May 2000. WHO provided initial support through its Global Tobacco Free Initiative (TFI) project. • PAKISTAN is among the fifteen (15) countries identified as "change agents" for tobacco control by the TFI project worldwide. PRIMARY GOAL OF TFI - PAKISTAN • To mount resistance against the tobacco industry's onslaught. • To educate people about hazards of tobacco use. • To lobby the government to introduce adequate controls on tobacco sale and promotion. OBJECTIVES OF TFI - PAK • Effective advocacy by mustering national support for evidence – based tobacco control measure e.g ban on all kinds of tobacco promotion. • Contribution towards development and advocacy for comprehensive anti - tobacco legislation in Pakistan. • Building a national awareness campaign about the hazards of tobacco. • Undertaking policy & operational research to fill knowledge gaps for effective control on tobacco consumption. • To lobby for and contribute towards development of the Framework Convention for Tobacco Control (FCTC) at national and international levels. OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES • TFI – Pak believes that the tobacco issue should be tackled through a mix of price & non – price measure such as progressive taxation and bans on promotion. • TFI – Pak considers a total ban on the direct & indirect promotion of tobacco products on print & electronic media the first and foremost step, but this should be accompany pricing measures. • Tobacco free Home Campaign helps to declare your homes tobacco free, saving your friends & family from the hazards of Passive Smoking. WHO'S "TOBACCO - FREE INITIATIVE" • The WHO took the "Tobacco – Free Initiative" in 1998. • WHO has come up with two proposals. 1.The governments should gradually increase the sale prices of cigarettes up to 70 %. 2.The international trade of cigarettes should come under strict control to curb smuggling. CHALLENGES • I appeal to the LEADERS of all countries to carry out programs of information & education that will create societies free of smoking. • To non smokers: Don't start. • To smokers: Stop smoking or cut down. • To planners & economists: Find economic alternatives to tobacco – growing. CHALLENGES • To Parliamentarians: Fulfil your social responsibilities by passing legislation. • To trade union leaders: Do not forget the battle to protect workers from that toxic substance, tobacco; • To entertainers, athletes, & public personalities: You are role models for young people; please avoid tobacco & so help them to choose health. • To the mass media: Use your communication skills to spread the news that the use of tobacco is "out" and to deliver the simple message – "choose health".

What's New
Posted on May 24, 2015 by
Holy deluge, Delivery-Boy Man, we've got a full cargo hold all of a sudden. I actually had to drag my lazy behind over to the computer and do somethin'.
I'm not used to this kind of intense activity any more, but here's three new things and, for a change, there's more in queue. It's like it's spring and all of the Futurama Fans just woke up from hibernation.
So let's see if I remember how this all works. Ah, OK, first up, two new
Fan Art
s - this first one is from
Ralf Stumpf
and is the 'rama crew playing at being the Jetsons.
sends this tastefully done nude of a very pregnant Kif Kroker reposing against a tree on Amphibios 9.
The thumbnail might be a little hard to see so go look at the
full sized version
And to follow up here's a spot of new
Fan Fiction
Dwayne Anderson
part 13
of his fic
Space Age Doofus
. Never underestimate the power of a moron!
What if ... things were busier around here?
Posted on May 5, 2015 by
An, remember the good olde days when we got enough stuff that I was chained to my computer doing updates practically every day? Sadly, things are kinda quiet these days
but occasionally the dedicated fan still shows up with a morsel.
Today is one such.
dropped off this new
Comic Transcript
. It's issue
What the What If?
in which Fry and Bender blow up the What If machine, releasing it's pent up what if energy and turning the greater New New York area into various alternate reality versions of itself. Sounds like a good plot for a bad
Fan Fiction
, doesn't it?
Pumped up kicks?
Posted on April 18, 2015 by
Want your very own Planet Express high tops? Well, now you can have them, maybe.
, whom we haven't heard from in quite a while (but I do hear from occasionally since we only live a few miles apart and run into each other occasionally) saw
on Facebook and brought it to my attention. Presumably it's current, he seemed to think so and I can't tell any different, so check it out and let us know if you actually score a pair.
OK, got a couple of new
Fan Fiction
s here from
Hailey Sands
. The first one is
Wrath of Jeremy
. Who is Jeremy you might ask? Good question. The über-fans will recall that he was a middle school bully mentioned by Fry in
Bender's Game
and this story explores that very question when Fry fails a urine test and believes that someone has it out for him.
Hailey's next fic is
Open for Business
in which the PE ship has died and is unrepairable. As a replacement, Bender gets a space-tank, which PE can ill afford to operate. Meanwhile, a rainstorm soaks New New York and Fry takes a job with a new megastore that's opened. What's the connection you wonder? You'll have to read to find out.
Server glitches and other fun stuff
Posted on March 29, 2015 by
Darn computers.
So a couple of weeks ago we had a little server glitch that took the
Message Board
off line for the better part of a day and because of some lingering fallout of that my updater wasn't working after that. Oh, it would cheerfully let me compose the whole update, and then error out when I tried to submit it.
Of course, this happened right about the time we belatedly discovered that Billy West was appearing at the
Indy Comic Con
that weekend, but could I get a notice up? Noooo.
Oh well, that's the way it goes in this biz sometimes. On happier notes, on to a couple of things that people have been very patiently waiting for.
First up is this
Fan Art
. It's Bender as a berzerker from Quake II. That seems about right for Bender, don't ya think?
Ever hear of a guy named
Frank Frazetta
? Neither had I, and no, he's not the contributor here, he's the inspiration. These drawings, done in Frank Frazetta style, are the result of a collaboration between
. Based on some prior art that Gulliver did, kaspired did the pencil sketch and each did a colerized version. I'll let you guess which is whose (hint: which one has the Amy fetish and which the Morgan Proctor fetish?
Lived Long and Prospered
Posted on February 27, 2015 by
Sad news today.
I've just heard about the
death of Leonard Nimoy
at the age of 83, a name who'll forever be on the lips of any science fiction fan and beyond. His most iconic role was that of Mr Spock from the original series of Star Trek, as well as the films. That's what he'll mostly be remembered for by most. However, he was in a few other roles, which got overshadowed, like playing Dr Kibner in the 1978 remake of
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
, a remake that certainly doesn't embarrass the original (improves it, in my view), as well as
some singing about hobbits
and whatnot. However, he was also in Futurama, having a role in the first episode,
Space Pilot 3000
, as well as the parody of Star Trek episode,
Where No Fan Has Gone Before
. So, I'd like to express this site's sorrow for the loss of such an iconic actor who has given us so many memories that'll endure. May he rest in peace.
Nailed it?
Posted on February 22, 2015 by
It seems like I should be saving this for a holiday of some kind but we don't really have any coming up soon so I'm just gonna toss this out there. It's (obviously) Zoidberg Jesus nailed to the cross. It's new
Fan Art
Over in the
Fan Fiction
part 12
Dwayne Anderson
Space Ace Doofus
is up.
Catch up on Fry's AU adventures as he tries to level up in a popular new video game after getting his wires crossed with one of the Professor's malfunctioning new inventions.
It's raining vampires
Posted on February 9, 2015 by
Wow, almost three weeks without an update. It's like 2005 all over again when Graham was threatening to shoot all of us with his crossbow of doom.
It has been pretty quiet here in the boiler room of the Madhouse, only one thing's been slipped through the mail slot and through a combination of Real Life
and sheer laziness it's taken me a "few days" to even get that done, so maybe it's a good thing it's kind of quiet right now. Or not. Anyway, got one tasty new
Fan Fiction
here. It's from
and it's called
Vengeance is Called Upon Thee
. As with his previous works, this one was inspired by the PlayStation 3 game
Vampire Rain: Altered Species
. Each one to be based on an individual mission and each mission ends with a cliffhanger. In this one Fry, Leela, and Hermes go on a mission to terminate James Smith, the walker who killed Leela's mother in
Falling Rain, Spilling Blood
(his first fic). However, James turns out to be nearly invincible. Can the team put an end to James's reign of terror? Or will James have the last laugh?
Did someone say cookie dough ice cream?
Posted on January 20, 2015 by
Surprise, still here! Insert standard excuse #37 here.
So let's lead off tonight with a combination of
Fan Art
Fan Fiction
. Bet you didn't guess that we have another
illustrated fic!
This one is titled
Tweak II: The Mutant Spring
. It is, obviously, a sequel to a prior story by the same name. In this one the most dangerous woman on Earth finds herself exiled to a planet full of mutants. The Planet Express gang also find themselves on this same planet, caught up in a political upheaval between "normal mutants" and psionics.
That ought to be fun. Someone grab some cookie dough ice cream and spoons and lets watch.
And for more reading fun,
has not one but two more parts to her
Fan Fiction
Oh My!
These are, respectively,
part 3
part 4
. Read on as someone finally tames the Zapper (maybe). And that someone might just be related to Fry.
Timeless classics
Posted on December 29, 2014 by
A slightly late or early Merry Xmas everyone. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to hold this 'till next year or not, but I don't trust my memory overnight, much less the three hundred and sixty shopping days 'till Xmas, so here's a Xmasy themed
Fan Art
Demented Honkey
. And it looks like most of the crew is enjoying a relaxing evening just before or after Xmas.
And now that we don't have to worry about being judged naughty or nice for a while we turn our attention to this Leela pose entitled
Pinup in Space
It would look right at home on a 2945 calendar, wouldn't it?
This is courtesy of the talents of
Ralf Stumpf
And finally today here is a new
Fan Fiction
chapter. It's
part 2
Oh My!
. A more classic fanfic plot there isn't: Zapp gets a woman pregnant.
Oh, and did I mention, she's Fry's half sister?
Merry Xmas and all that stuff
Posted on December 24, 2014 by
Ho Ho HO!
It's almost time for SantaBot to make his rounds (and actually he's already started in some places this reaches) so while we're all safely barricaded behind the armored fireplace cover, here's something of a first - a
Fan Art
that's a Xmas gift. The art is by
and it's a gift for
Trenton Sands
because "been a great friend to me on FMMB".
The pic is a promo for Trenton's fanfic
Sailing A-Weight
, which is one his early stories that might just predate me on this site.
Here's some more
Fan Art
from someone we haven't heard from in a long time.
sez he wondered if he could still draw Futurama, being as he hasn't done it in a while, and sure enough, he can. There is a reason he got to wondering that, unfortunately I'm sworn to secrecy at the moment, so I can't tell you what is is.
Still, cool pic.
And lastly, before I go double check the window armor and auto cannons,
Dwayne Anderson
slipped the
next chapter
Space Age Doofus
under the door.

It's a shame it's a short though.

Dethroning the Tyrant of Numbers
On March 12, 2015 By Daniel Ward March 16, 2015
Where are statistics and principled probabilistic thinking in law and legal education? Many law students shudder at the thought of any sort of computational mathematics or mathematical reasoning, and I have often heard my fellow students repeat the old joking excuse when anything numbers-related comes up in class: "I went to law school so I [...]Continue Reading →

Publisher's Description
In Organic Outreach for Families, Kevin and Sherry Harney share insights from the Scriptures and give practical advice from their own experience to help you learn how to transform your home into a lighthouse of Gods amazing grace.
The Harneys discuss five ways you can naturally share your faith with others:
- Reaching your own children with the message of Jesus
- Sharing Gods grace with your extended family
- Raising your children to be beacons of light in their schools and in the neighborhood
- Opening the doors of your home to make it attractive and welcoming
- Shining the light of grace into your broader community
The Harneys balance a concern for developing your home into a safe, secure environment with the biblical mandate for believers to be salt and light in the world. Pastors and parents will discover creative ways families can become a natural and winsome presence in their schools, through community activities, and as a witness in their neighborhoods.

Lately, we have transitioned our environment over to use UTF-8 encoding. Everything seemed to be working perfectly. Pages were being served up correctly in UTF-8 and email sent with PHP's mail() function were also being sent with (in our case) French characters appearing properly.
This morning, I started substituting non-multi-byte string functions (e.g., strlen(), mail()) with their multi-byte counterpart (e.g., mb_strlen(), mb_send_mail()) and it appears to be working as expected in all cases, except for mb_send_mail(), where French characters appear as question marks. Oddly, they appear correctly when using mail(). I also have the charset set to utf-8 in the email's headers in both cases, and checking it in my email client confirms that it is sent as such.
I should add that I am not using the Function Overloading feature, because I was concerned it would interfere with third-party extensions we are using, which is why I have chosen to replace the functions manually.
These lines were modified/added in php.ini:
default_charset = "utf-8"
My PHP files are also all saved in UTF-8 encoding, without BOM.
The code when calling the mb_send_mail() function looks like this:
$to = "email@example.com";
$subject = "Assigné";
$body = "La demande suivante vous a été assigné : "
$headers .= 'From: ' . $from . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-Type: text/html; charset="utf-8"' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable' . "\r\n";
if (!(@mb_send_mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers))) {
//Error message
As indicated in my original post, when using the mb_send_mail() function, all my e acute (é) characters, including the email's subject and bosy, appear as question marks (?), but when using the mail() function, they appear as intended.

Synchronizing data with the Git-annex Assistant
Git Exchange
Git-annex Assistant is a handy web interface that lets you use the power of Git to synchronize data across several computers.
Git-annex comes directly from the heart of the Linux ecosystem. It lets users manage files in a Git repository and sync them across multiple devices, such as an encrypted archive in the cloud or a backup on an external hard drive or SSH server. Once you have mastered Git-annex, you can accomplish these tasks with ease.
The abundance of options may deter some people from using the tool. This fear is countered by the Git-annex Assistant front end, which hides the complexity behind a modern web interface.
Although packages are available for the most common distributions like Debian, Fedora, and Ubuntu, these usually lag far behind the current state of development. Debian "Wheezy" and Ubuntu "Precise" have version 3.2 in their repositories, which does not yet support the Assistant. Ubuntu "Trusty" at least comes with version 5.2, but because of the fast pace of development, it makes more sense to install the precompiled binary archives [1].

I don't think my last post "took" because I forgot to add a "title." Apologies if this should happen to pop up twice.
But I see WDW is raising prices again.
In the middle of the biggest recession in modern history? With unemployment at unbelievable records?
How is it Disney can have a product whose price keeps going up even while the quality declines? I don't get it. Yes, I know "Disney is a business," but this doesn't seem like the best qay to run a business, and Q3 results seem to support that.
Anyone have any thoughts?

Yesterday, Sister Chan and I went to ward council at "really early" in teh morning, which evens out to 7am. While we were there we got a call from a couple people.
We got a call from our sister training leaders and turned the phone on mute because our mission president has asked us to not answer phone calls (no matter who it is, including himself) during meetings.
We didn't answer. We put the phone on silent instead of vibrate and then kept in in our pockets till the end of the meeting. When we were leaving the meeting at about 8:30, we realized that we had a message from the President. Which does not often happen.
We went out to call him back, following the instructions he gave on his voice mail. First thing we hear is "Why haven't you been answering all morning?"
Apparently he had called us a few times. We told him we were in ward council and all his feelings became softer, and said "You sisters are so good! You have such a good bishop and ward mission leader!" That was perfectly said. We have a really good ward.
He then said, "I have your transfer news for you" We start listening. Sister Chan is training somebody from Ethiopia learning Chinese! And that is super cool!
And then he told me my news and I am starting somehting I have never done before.
I got my transfer news! It is so exciting! So I have a new companion, I am moving from Sister Chan to Sister Chen. With this little one letter change, so comes the other changes.
Like me leaving White Rock. I am going from the oldest ward in the Chinese work (most of them are retired) to the youngest age around,
I am going to the Vancouver YSA ward. And not just this, but Sister Chen and I are reopening a closed area. It was been closed for over a year, and we finally have enough Chinese sisters in the mission that we will be able to go forward with reopening areas! So exciting!
So we are both new to the area, and we are both excited. We also are going to be the first sister training leaders over the Chinese speaking sisters. So that is pretty cool.
So things are pretty good! I quite literally started jumping for joy and told President I was super excited. He started laughing at me over the phone and then told us how important it was to him that we do these things.
I was pretty glad. I love being a missionary and getting to move to as many areas possible to get to talk with as many people possible. I am so blessed.
I love this gospel. The Lord and His Atonement is so real, and really should be used daily. I know that He will guide us through this work and help us work together and have a successful companionship, successful areas, and most of all growing testimonies.
What a blessing.

Re: How can I revert the update to 6.1.1 again? in response to iphonetroubles Solved
Downgrading is not supported. I'd suggest you try restoring the iPhone though iTunes on your computer, particularly if you upgraded it to iOS 6.1.2 directly from your iPhone which doesn't seem to be as reliable as when using iTunes.
If you try restoring from a backup and that doesn't fix the problem, try restoring to factory settings and synching your apps. You'll lose the app data and settings, but if the problem is due to a corrupt cache or settings file, that should cure it.

lo b- .or/a2 INVENTORS BY DAVID S. OSTLER THEIR ATTORNEY FLUID COLLECTION SYSTEMS The present invention relates to body fluid bottles usable in surgery and recovery rooms, by way of example, and more particularly, to a new and improved body fluid bottle incorporating a number of advantages over existing bottles, especially in provision of means for preventing the inadvertent siphoning of body fluid within the bottle when gaseous pressure therein is raised above the normal, operating vacuum condition` ln the past a few types of body fluid or blood storage bottles have been devised for use in hospitals. Those types of which the inventors are aware generally constitute portions of permanent systems wherein the bottles are in a glass or Pyrex, are reused and therefore are required to be sterilized both as to the container and also as to the rubber or metal cap thereof between successive uses. Prior attempts have also been made in devising a disposable system wherein the lid of the vessel includes a depending, deformable, closed-ended plastic encasement which, when filled, conforms to the inner wall of a rigid outer container. The latter has proven somewhat unsatisfactory in that the same cannot be a closed, sealed unit; accurate reading as to fluid level relative to the outer rigid container is difficult; the throwaway portion of the unit is expensive; antisiphoning means are lacking, and so forth.
Accordingly, a principal object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved vessel, hereinafter referred to as a "bottle," for receiving body fluids, such as blood, which are drained from the body of a patient.
A further object is to provide a body fluid bottle incorporating antisiphoning means, this to prevent backflow through the body fluid tube if gaseous pressure within the bottle above the fluid level is raised above the normal operating vacuum conditions.
An additional object is to provide a new and improved body fluid bottle which is disposable and easily incinerated.
An additional object is to provide a body fluid bottle comprising a disposable container and also a cover releasably lockable thereto.
An additional object is to provide a closed fluid-storage system wherein the bottle or storage vessel, and any contaminated fluids therein, can be sealed within the bottle, by the fluid tube leading from the patient, and thereafter disposed of, this through such tube being looped and connected from the fluid inlet to the vacuum port of the vessel.
An additional object is to provide, in a body fluid vessel or bottle, a cover or lid for a container wherein the cover incorporates advantageous vacuum and body fluid ports or conduits.
An additional object is to provide in or for a body fluid bottle a tube equivalent member which depends beneath and communicates with the body fluid port of the bottle, with suitable aperture means being provided to allow for equalization of gaseous pressure within the tube to that above the fluid level in the remainder of the bottle, thereby to prevent siphoning back in the direction of the patient.
An additional object is to provide in the body fluid bottle suitable means for preventing backflow or siphoning of fluid within the bottle out of the body fluid tube connected thereto back to the patient, should increase in gaseous pressure above the normal vacuum conditions chance to occur above the fluid level within the bottle.
A further object of the invention is to provide a new and improved body fluid bottle wherein covers thereof are easily packaged and containers thereof easily stacked inside each other for compact packaging.
A further object is to provide an antisplash device in a body fluid storage bottle.
A further object is to provide a container, plural ones of which can be insertably stacked in a manner that, upon withdrawal of one container, exposure to ambient conditions of the inside surfaces of the remaining containers will be minimized.
According to the present invention, the body fluid bottle thereof preferably takes the form of a disposable container and cover combination, the two being constructed for locking or other securement together in vacuum seal relationship. The cover is provided with two or more ports or conduits serving as exterior body fluid and vacuum connections, all of which are communicatively disposed through the cover and within the container of the bottle. The container itself includes an upper lip or margin and also a frustoconical outer side, this to permit the containers to be inserted in each other and stacked, stored, or packaged in very compact packaging. A special feature is present, in one form of the invention, in the combination of the body fluid conduit wherein outer, spaced tubular means surrounds the interior extension of the conduit and is provided with suitable aperture means so as to fpermit the equalization of gaseous pressure within the container above the fluid level, both inside and outside the tubular means. Such tube likewise preferably extends downwardly a con siderably distance, this to avoid splashing and foam of the body fluid as the same enters the container.
The features of the present invention which are believed to be novel are set forth with particularity in he appended claims.
The present invention, both as to its. organization and manner of operation, together with further objects and advantages thereof, may best be understood by reference to the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. l is an elevation, principally in enlarged section, showing the body fluid bottle of the present invention as being supported by a wall bracket and being used with the vacuum system drawing blood or other body fluid from a patient into the bottle proper.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged detail of the upper left hand portion of the body fluid bottle of FIG. l, showing a slight modification in the antisiphoning means used.
In the drawings body fluid bottle l0 is shown to be comprised of container l1 and a cover l2, the latter being interlocked with the former as by threads, cam surfaces, Leur locks, or other suitable means. While these two members 1l and l2 may be unitary, if desired, it is deemed preferable that the two comprise separate plastic parts which are releasably secured together by threads, cooperative cam surfaces, or other means 13 and 14 in a conventional manner. Container ll has a tapered interior surface F and also preferably has frustoconical exterior side l5 and an upper cylindrical margin 16, these two having depending shoulder 37 as a common juncture surface. The annular juncture .l of shoulder 37 with exterior side 1S is congruent and coaxially vertically aligned, see FIG. 2, with the interior annular edge E of the container lip, to accommodate lip-to-shoulder container stacking. Thus, where the containers 11 are so configured they may be insertably stacked together much in the manner as conventional paper drinking cups for packaging purposes. The upper edge or surface 17 of container ll is preferably flat, and when cover l2 is caused to tightly engage the cooperative means 13 and vacuum is applied, the surface 17 will be sealed against bottom surface 18 of cover l2. Cover 12 itself includes a vacuum conduit 19 and a body fluid conduit 20, the two preferably taking the form of tubes, in effect, medially disposed through the cover such that opposite ends of conduits 19 and 20 are present at opposite sides of cover l2.
Vacuum system 21 may comprise a combination motordriven vacuum pump and the vacuum orifice or nozzle 22 thereof is connected via rubber vacuum tube 23 to end fitting 24 thereof. This connection can be made by cement, if desired, as at 25. End fitting 24 has, of course, a central aperture 26 communicating with aperture 27 of vacuum tube 23. Of course, tube 23 may be simply pressed over the turned down end 28 of end fitting 24, if desired. The interior of end fitting 24 is preferably made in the form of a conical wedgetype cavity 29 for receiving the frustoconical end 20 of vacuum conduit 19. A similar connection is made as between end fitting 3l and body fluid tube 32, the former being connected to body fluid conduit 20 in a similar manner. lt is seen that the body fluid tube 32 will be used at the situs of the operating table or recovery room, for example, and may have an appropriate conventional end fitting, not shown, for application to the operative area of the patient.
The body fluid bottle of the present invention may be sup` ported by a wall bracket 33 as by screws 34 fastening the same to wall 35. The wall bracket 33 includes a circular band R which supportingly engages container 11 in the manner shown. lt is seen that the shoulder 37 of the container not only serves as a stop abutment for a series of stacked containers 1 1, to preclude overinsertion when the same are stored or packaged, but also provides a supporting abutment for a single container ll so as to adequately support the same.
Of special importance in the present invention is the inclusion of an inlet tube 36. This tube may be flexible and, for packaging purposes, may be rolled and fastened integrally to cover 12 for installation in a sterile package of conventional design. Tube 36 is seen to be spaced, see space S, from area A of body fluid conduit 20, but nonetheless includes a closed end 37' having aperture 38 tightly fitting that portion of body fluid conduit beneath cover l2. Of special importance is the inclusion of one or more apertures B in tube 36, preferably disposed above the level of end 39 of conduit 20. The purpose for these important apertures will be described hereinafter. Suffice it to say presently that a space S in annularly provided about the lower portion of body fluid conduit 20 in the manner indicated. Tube 36 may be cemented in place, simply pressed over the lower extremity of body fluid conduit 20, or may be molded or otherwise made integral therewith or attachable thereto or to the cover proper.
FIG. 2 illustrates that if desired, a smaller tube 36, labeled 36' in FIG. 3, may be employed in connection with its circumferential fitting about area A of body fluid conduit 20.
The structures shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 operate as follows. Preliminarily, the container Il may be stored with a series of mutually inserted, stacked containers l1 in a preferred condition. Correspondingly, cover l2 may be closed in a separate sterile'container or bag, as desired. When, during or after surgery, a body fluid bottle or vessel is desired, then the same is assembled by attaching to a respective container l1 and a respective cover l2. As to cover l2 the inlet tube 36 may already 4have been installed upon body fluid conduit 20 in the manner indicated; or, a separate inlet tube 36 may simply be pressed over the lower half of the body fluid conduit 20 in the manner shown.
In any event, the cover l2 is caused to securely engage container ll via intercooperating means 13 and 14. Subsequently, vacuum tube 23 is installed and connected to a vacuum system 2l in the manner shown. The body fluid tube 32 with its end fitting 3l, is next installed in position, and the lower end thereof is disposed proximate the operative area of the patient, as for example at or near the abdominal cavity.
When vacuum system 2l is turned on, an area of reduced pressure is created within the body fluid bottle l0 and cover l2 seals over lip 17. This is facilitated where the elements of the fluid bottle are made of a suitable polyethylene or polystyrene material, by way of example. The vacuum created within the bottle l0, of course, operates to reduce the air pressure within body fluid tube 32 so that there will be a drawing upwardly of body fluid from the patient up through the body fluid tube 32 down into container 1l. Container Il will continue to fill until a vacuum system is turned off. When the same is, in fact, turned off, then body fluid tube 32 may be removed from the patient and this end inserted over vacuum conduit 19 in lieu of vacuum tube 23. The unit is now sealed and ready for discard under closed conditions.
An important feature of the invention relates to operation of tube 36 and body fluid conduit 20. If the vacuum system is turned off, a reduced pressure is maintained within container ll, then the body fluid from the patient will cease filling toe bottle l0, but the fluid within the body fluid tube 32 will remain in such tube. In the event of slight leakage relative to lip 17, or if the pressure within the container commences to rise, then there is present the danger of not only the fluid within body fluid tube 32 returning to the patient, but also the possibility of a siphoning back of body fluid within the bottle 10 back into the operative area of the patient. This, of course, is to be avoided at all cost. The present invention precludes such siphoning back, since any slight increase in pressure within vacuum tube 23, or the container, from the normal operating vacuum condition can now be reflected via apertures B to that column of liquid within tube 36 which would otherwise proceed upwardly, under siphoning conditions, up through body fluid conduit 20 and body fluid tube 32. This feature of the present invention, in the nature of the inclusion of tube 36 and above the fluid level within container 1l is likewise transmitted through apertures B AND IN THE SPACE S surrounding the lower end of body fluid conduit 20. Such increase in air pressure thus will be present and directed against any liquid within inlet tube 36, so as to deter this fluid from continuing to rise upwardly through body fluid conduit 20 and body fluid tube 32. In FIG. 2 the same result obtains, and this even though a tube 36 of reduced length is employed.
What is provided, therefore, is a new and improved body fluid bottle preferably taking the form of a two piece unit including container 1l and cover l2. The blood inlet system to the bottle is so configured that return siphoning or suction through the body fluid tube to the patient is avoided in the presence of increased pressure either within the body fluid bottle above the fluid level or within the vacuum Asystem or vacuum tube thereof. Tube 36 in FIG. 1 is deemed preferable to tube 36' in FIG. 2 since splashing at the lower part of the bottle is substantially reduced, thus aiding in determining fluid level at various times of use of the bottle l0.
ln addition to disposability, packaging, and feasibility for closed connection and disposal as by incineration, the container l1 of the invention is ideally suited for suspension from an elevated wall bracket, for example. lt is contemplated that upon use of the body fluid bottle, the patient tube with the body fluid in that tube, will be secured across both conduits of the bottle and the same remain sealed and available for immediate disposal.
As to the antibackflow means, rather than employ the pressure equalization technique, as above described, a check valve might be used in the body fluid conduit, port, or tube to prevent reverse flow. However, some practictioners might object to employment of such valve means, owing to possible danger of clogging, at the valve, by blood clots.
Moreover, as to apertures B, the same might conceivably be disposed even beneath the lower end of the body fluid conduit; however, this would be less satisfactory than the aperture disposition illustrated since inflow dribblings therethrough and resultant clogging might chance to occur.
The patient end of tube 32 will preferably have an end fitting 30 which, when the customary suction tip (not shown) is removed therefrom will be directly insertable over and connected to the vacuum conduit 19 in lieu of the vacuum tube 23, thereby permitting the bottle and body fluid tube to be disposed of as a sealed unit.
While particular embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made without departing from this invention in its broader aspects.

Report – Ecclestone: GP of America organizers have breached contract
Dec 25, 2013, 12:30 AM EDT
If the Grand Prix of America ever comes to fruition, it may be because of another group, not its current organizers.
Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone has apparently had enough with Leo Hindery Jr. and his Port Imperial Racing Associates, telling Autoweek contributor Christian Sylt that PIRA is not only in breach of their race contract but that the group hasn't paid him since a 2011 agreement was signed to bring F1 to New Jersey.
The Grand Prix of America has twice been dropped from the F1 calendar since that point and will not be on it for 2014. However, even though Ecclestone insists that he can take legal action against the organizers – noting that the Formula One Group lent PIRA $10 million to help with the race's funding – he says he hasn't because there are other groups eyeing a possible takeover of the race.
"I've kept it going because somebody might come up and there has been two or three people who are interested and are looking into it," he said. "If anyone comes in today, they can have it."
In the statement released by the organizers following the race's dropping from the 2014 calendar, Ecclestone said that "I have no doubt we'll be racing at Port Imperial in 2015." According to Sylt, Ecclestone remains confident that the event can go off, even if it does indeed require a different promoter.
"All it needs is somebody serious to come up and say we will get behind this and make it happen," he said. "I have given Hindery too much leeway. I wanted to believe that he would do it."
The potential second event for Formula One in the United States has gone through multiple twists and turns in its short existence. Now, it appears it has reached yet another.
