J. M. TOWLE AUTOMATIC HOSE COUPLING Filed Mdy 6, 1920 2 sheets-sheet 2 atented Get, '23, 1923.
Application filed May 6,
To all whom it may concern:
Be it' known that I, JAMES M. TOWLE, a citizen of the United States of America, and resident of West Somerville, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Automatic Hose Couplings, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to an improved hose coupling and more particularly to a combination coupling and :valve particularly adapted for use on highpressure air lines 6r similar lines carrying other fluids.
In the use of compressed air in shipbuilding, structural work, mining or quarrying, it is customary to lead the power from fixed headers by flexible hose lines which are formed of sections so that the length may be varied as the exigencies of the work require. It is necessary to provide these hose lengths with n air-tight coupling and it is highly desirable that the coupling also contaln a valve. If such valves are. not provided a change in the length of the line or a change of tools may require a lengthy or arduous trip to the header to cut off the flow of air.
' Further, if such valves are not provided the workman will often stop the flow by kinking the line or by some similar device equally injurious to the hose and likely' to cause loss of power. Since the hose lines are often moved over rough ground and over obstacles the couplings should present a relatively smooth exterior to prevent catching or tangling the lines. In order to positively prevent loss of power the valves in the couplings should be automatic in their action.
It is an object of my invention to provide a coupling which is simple and positive in its action and which may be readily coupled I or uncoupled. Itis also an object of the in,-
' out the use of springs or similar parts.
vention to provide, in connection with such a cOuCpIing, an improved valve which is opene by the operation of the coupling and which is closed automatically by the air pressure in the hose when uncoupled. It is a further object to provide a coupling wherein there isan air-tight connection be-- tween the two coupling members and between the valve and coupling members, and where such connection ismaintained witlI1- t is an additional object to provide accombined valve and coupling which is composed of but few and strong .parts and which is 1920. Serial No. 379,219.
Figure 1 is alongitudinal section of one form of the device;
Figure 2 is an end view-of the outlet cou- Figure 3 is an end view of the intake cou- Figure 1 is a view of the connector member, with portions of the intake coupling indicated in dotted lines; L
Figure 5 's a cross section on line 55 of a Figure 6 is a cross section on line 6-6 of Fig. 1;
Figure 7 is a view similar to Fig. 1 but Showing a modified form of the device;
Figure 8'is an end view of the outlet coupling of Fig. 7;
Figure 9 is'an end pling of Fig. 7 p
Figure 10 is across section onthe line 1010 of Fig. 7 and Figure 11 is a cross section on the line view of the intake con- 10-- 10 of Fig. 7 with the. outlet member dis-- connected. 1
Considering first the form of my device shown in Figs. 1 to 6, the coupling comprises the outlet bushing 12, connector member 13, tubular valve 14, the intake member 15 and lock member 16. The outlet bushing 12is shown as internally threaded at 17 for connection to a power outlet, and as externally threaded at 18 for connection with the connector member 13. The interior of the bushing is cup shaped at 19 to receive the head 20 of the valve 14, and 1s rovided with the circumferential ridge 21 a apted to prevent the valve entirely leaving its seat.
The connector member 13 has an enlarged end screw threaded internally to interfit with the threaded portion 18 of the outlet bushing 12, and has the reduced portion 22 adapted to receive the valve member 1 1.
This reduced portion 22 is formed with the beveled seat 23- at its intake side adapted to receive the beveled surface 24 of the valve 14 and its outlet end is provided with a similar bevel 27. i
The outer portion of the outlet end of "the member is oppositely slotted at 28 and adjacent each such slot is provideda cam locking lug 29, as best shown in Fig. 4.
The valve 14 is tubular in form with the solid head and the ports extending through the side adjacent, the head. vThe open end of the valve, is exteriorly beveled The intake member 15 has its intake end interiorly beveled at 30 to interfit with the bevel 26 on the valve member 14 and is .exteriorly beveled at 31 to interfit with the beveled seat 27 on the connector member 13.
Adjacent the bevel 31 the member carries the oppositely spaced lugs 32 which are adapted to fit the slots 28 on the connector member.
The lock member 16 is retained upon the intake member 15 by means of the stud 33 which is screwed in through the opening 34 and fits in the channel 35. This stud permits relative rotary movement of the two members but prevents longitudinal movement.
Thev forward portion of the lock member carries the inwardly extending lock lugs 36, adapted'to coact with the lock lugs 29 in the connector member as indicated on Fig. 4.
The form of the device shown in Figs.
7 and 11. is similar to that just described except for the method of connection. lit comprises the outlet bushing 42, connector member 43, tubular valve 44, intakemember 45, sleeve 46 and collar 47. The outlet bushingis internally threadedat 48 and externally threaded at 49, and has the cup shaped interior 50 and the circumferential ridge 51 between the cup 50 and threads 48. The connector member 43 is screwed onto the threads at 49 and has the beveled seat 52 to coact with the bevel 53 on the solid head 54 of the valve 44. The tubular valve has the lateral ports 55 and'its open end is externally beveled at 56 to fit the internal bevel 57 on the intake member 45. The intake member 45 is also externally beveled at 58 to fit the internal bevel 59 in the end of the connector member.
The intake member 45 is rovided with the outwardly and forwardly extending flange 60, the forward edge. of which has the inwardl extending lip 61. This lip is oppositely s otted at 62 as shown in Fig. 9, and has the rearwardly extending lugs 63 adjacent each side of each slot. The sleeve 46 is formed with the outwardly extending lugs 64 adapted to pass through the slots 62 and to be turned *beyond the lugs 63 and brought up against the lip 61 and then retained against rotation by the lugs 63. The opposite end of the sleeve'46 has the out wardly extending lip 65 which coacts with ile inwardly extending lip 66 on the collar In the use of either form of my device the outlet bushing together with the connector member'and valve normally remain her in each case is earned by the intake end of a hose or pipe section, and in the form of Figs. 1 to 6, the lock member remains with it. I
Tn both forms of the device the tubular valve is closed against its seat in the connector member by the air pressure against the solid valve head when the intake member is disconnected. The ridges 21 or 51 prevent the valve from entirely leaving its housing even when no pressure is in the line, and maintain the vaive in position to be instantly closed by the pressure against its head when air again fills the line. This is automatically accomplished by the air pressure alone without the use of springs or similar devices. 1
When the intake member'is connected to the outlet assembly the bevel on the open end of the valve interfits with the corresponding bevel in the outlet member and the valve is unseated sufliciently for the air to pass around the valve head and through the lateral openings in the valve and thus through the intake'member. "The outer bevel on the intake member also seats upon the bevel on the end of the connector member and thus forms an air tight joint.
The two forms of the device differin so far as the means for locking the outlet and intake assemblies together are concerned. In the form shown in Figs 1 to 6, the two parts are brought together so that the lugs 32 fit into the slots 28 and the cam lugs 29 'pass through the spaces between the lu s 36. The lock member is now rotated an the cam surfaces. of the lugs 36 and 29 engage to draw the connector and intake members into intimate engagement. The lugs 28 serve to prevent rotation of the intake member and thus prevent scoring or wear of the meeting beveled surfaces, and also prevents twist of the hose line.
shown in Figs; 7 to 11, the collar 47 is first Y loosened. somewhat on the outlet assembly, and the intake member is then moved into engagement, the lugs 64 passing through the slots 62 and being turned to fit between the lugs 63. The bevel seat 57 interfits with the bevel end 56 of the valve and the collar 47 is now screwed up and the lugs 64 press against the lips 61 to draw the intake mem her into intimate engagement with the connector member. This movement of the in take member also serves to unseat the tubular valve.
The method ofassembling the couplings is obvious from the drawings. Tn the form of Figs. 1 to 6, the lock member is discon I thetwo until the stud 33 may be removed through the hole 84. In the form of Figs. 7 to 11, the lugs 64 on the sleeve are of less size than the interior diameter of the lip 66 on the collar 47 so that the two parts may be readily separated. I
The form of the device shown in Figs. 1 to 6 is somewhat simpler in construction and quicker in operation than theform of Figs. 7 and 11, the latter form being particularly adapted for use with larger lines where a more positive or tighter lock is de sired. The form shown in Figs. 1 to 6 may be used on small lines or lines where relatively low pressures are used so that the thrust on the head of the valve is not too great to permit the valve to be unseated by ,the manual movement of the" intake member. However, in larger lines or very high pressure lines the valve will be seated with such a heavy thrust that mechanical leverage is necessary to unseat it. This leverage is provided by the-screw collar v4:7 of the form of Figs. 7 to 11. The valve'is not unseated until that collar is screwed up on the connector member drawing with it the intake member by means of the sleeve 4=6. In this manner the valve may be unseated under heavy pressure and an intimate and-air tight contact between the meeting beveled surfaces is as sured.
In both forms of my device the air is permitted automatically to extend to the end of the line whenever new line is added and the valve at the end of the line auto matically closes. Conversely when a length of line or a tool is disconnected the live end of the line is automatically shut off.
While I have described my coupling in connection with compressed air lines, it may obviously be used with lines carrying any fluid, and the double seating between the intake and the valve and the intake and the connector member serves to effectively prevent loss of fluid or of pressure. The coupling presents an exterior comparatively smooth and without projections. While I have shown the outlet bushing as screw threaded and the intakemember as corru- 1 gated, they may obviously be varied to suit the particular use to which they are tobe p i.
I claim 1. A device of the class described comprising aligned elements constructed and arranged for the attachment of conduits thereto, and an intermediate element having substantially conical annular seats adjacent each end thereof.
2. A device of the class described comprising a connector member having a valve therein, a sleeve encircling a portion of said member, radially directed elements extending outwardly from opposite ends of said sleeve, a collar having screw threaded engagement with said connector member and having lugs cngageable with said radial elements at one end of the sleeve, and an in take member provided with inwardly directed parts engageab'le with the said radial elements at the opposite end of the sleeve.
3. A device of the class'described comprising an outlet bushing, a connector member having a tubular valve opening and a valve seat adjacent said opening, a tubular valve in said opening having a solid head and a beveled open end, the solid head be ing normally seated against the valve seat, the connector member having an open end and a cone seat adjacent said end, and an intake member having a cone-seat adapted to interfit with the beveled open end of the valve and having a beveled portion adapted to interfit with the cone seat adjacent the open end of the connector member, the intake member-when so interfitted forming a substantially air tight connection with the gubular valve and with the connector mem- 4. A device of the class described comprising an outlet bushing. a connector member having a tubular valve opening and a valve seat adjacent said opening, a tubular valve in said opening having a solid head and a beveled open end, the solid head being normally seated against the valve seat, the connector member having an open end and a cone seat adjacent said end, and an intake member having a cone seat adapted to interfit with the beveled open end of the valve and having a beveled portion adapted to interfit with the cone seat adjacent to the open end of the connector member, the intake member when so interfitted being adapted to unseat the valve and forming a substantially air tight connection with the tubular valve and with the connector member, and means adapted to detachably confiect the connector member and intake mem- 5. A coupling device comprising a pair of coupling members and a connector sleeve therefor, one of the coupling members having a cylindrical portion formed with guide grooves and exterior circumferentially extending ribs, the other coupling member having a portion fitting within the first and being provided with projecting lugs engaging the grooves, and the connector sleeve having a portion interlocking with the second coupling member and having portions interengaging with the ribs of the first member for securing the parts together.

Diana Garber, Feng Shui Master for Intuitive Concepts, to Speak at the Universal Life Expo, 10/12
Diana Garber is asked each year to speak about energy for the upcoming year. She does extensive research on energy trends, historical facts, and performs her analyses. Ms. Garber is a classically-trained international Feng Shui consultant who has a litany of firsts to her accomplishments. In addition to her accreditations in the U.S. and abroad over 30 years, she was accredited in 2005 as a clinical instructor and Feng Shui practitioner for The Ohio State University.
Diana's mastery in the ancient study of classic Feng Shui incorporates quantum physics principles and algorithms in order to derive statistical probabilities that she shares with her commercial and residential clients. Her response when asked about 2014 is "It is a year of major growth. From a Feng Shui perspective, it is a four year. Think of Spring and all that blooms. Growth can also bring its challenges, which is why we coined a phrase - manage your environment consciously or unconsciously it manages you. Our action or inaction can result in weeds or blossoms," Garber says. Therefore, the energy that affects people, their homes, and their businesses will show increases in positive ways but it will also intensify the negative risks depending on the direction and the flow of energy.
A few examples: Respiratory problems will be prevalent. "I've alerted The Breathing Association about this so they can prepare," Garber offered. Energy in the East will challenge our eldest sons, thyroid, tempers, and human resources. Energy in the NW will challenge heads of households, heads of business, and heads of state. We're already seeing this in the U.S. and internationally. People in general may experience more head issues (such as headaches). Also, there are certain months that present more challenges, and certain months that create opportunities. This is a deep and intricate process and requires the services of a master practitioner to help translate the implications on our living and working environments.
Ideally, contacting Master Garber would be the best approach to learn about 2014, the Year of the Wood Horse. Meanwhile, she can be found this month at the Universal Life Expo at Veteran's Memorial in Columbus, Ohio, on October 12 and 13. She's offering personal strategy sessions at Booth 1001, and speaking about 2014 on Sunday at 3:00 in the Richard Nolan Room.
Of course the best approach to greet 2014 is to obtain a consult of your own - one that is completely customized for your business or home. Knowledge and awareness are the best way to prepare for change. For more information about the Universal Life Expo, visit their website.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Schadenfreude carries a delectable tang no matter the language, and as the history of Hollywood shows, stories about pretty people behaving badly remain reliably alluring.
Fresh: Zhang, expertly conveying someone closed off yet silently sensual, even rolls out a tear during a moment of impending intimacy as exquisitely timed as a dancer's move.
Fresh: An interesting twist on a classic plot, Dangerous Liaisons is essentially a deluxe soap opera. But with its beautiful cast and gorgeous production design, it is still a highly enjoyable way to waste two hours.
Rotten: The least one should hope for from another adaptation of Pierre Choderlos de Laclos's Dangerous Liaisons is savory, salacious trash ...

Health News StoriesExcerpts of Key Health News Stories in Major Media
Note: This comprehensive list of health news stories is usually updated once a week. Explore our full index to revealing excerpts of key major media news stories on several dozen engaging topics. And don't miss amazing excerpts from 20 of the most revealing news articles ever published.
A simian virus known as SV40 has been associated with a number of rare human cancers. This same virus contaminated the polio vaccine administered to 98 million Americans from 1955 to 1963. Federal health officials see little reason for concern. A growing cadre of medical researchers disagree. A breakthrough in the war against polio had come in the early 1950s, when Jonas Salk took advantage of a new discovery: monkey kidneys could be used to culture the abundant quantities of polio virus necessary to mass-produce a vaccine. But there were problems with the monkey kidneys. In 1960 Bernice Eddy, a government researcher, discovered that when she injected hamsters with the kidney mixture on which the vaccine was cultured, they developed tumors. Eddy's superiors tried to keep the discovery quiet, but Eddy presented her data at a cancer conference in New York. She was eventually demoted, and lost her laboratory. The cancer-causing virus was soon isolated by other scientists and dubbed SV40, because it was the fortieth simian virus discovered. Alarm spread through the scientific community as researchers realized that nearly every dose of the vaccine had been contaminated. In 1961 federal health officials ordered vaccine manufacturers to screen for the virus and eliminate it from the vaccine. Worried about creating a panic, they kept the discovery of SV40 under wraps and never recalled existing stocks. For two more years millions of additional people were needlessly exposed -- bringing the total to 98 million Americans from 1955 to 1963.
Note: This fascinating report on modern research into SV40's role in human cancers is well worth reading in its entirety at the link above. It is most strange that the CDC posted a webpage stating "it has been estimated that 10–30 million Americans could have received an SV40 contaminated dose of vaccine" and much more, but the webpage was then taken down. Using the Internet Archive, you can still see the revealing page that has been removed at this link.
Researchers say they have created a drug that has killed every kind of cancer tumor it has come in contact with, according to Science Magazine. The antibody treatment works by blocking a protein called CD47 which tricks the body into not destroying cancerous cells. After the protein is blocked, the body can then recognize the cancer cells as invaders and attack. While the research is seen as a step closer to discovering a treatment that can cure all cancers, the drug has only been tested on mice and will need to prove itself on humans before it can be available to patients. This may take a few years. The research team has been given the green light and recently received a four-year, $20 million grant to conduct human clinical trials. Research for this new drug started a decade ago when biologist Irving Weissman at Stanford University was studying leukemia cells. He found that that leukemia cells produce higher levels of the CD47 protein than healthy cells. CD47 acts as a "don't-eat-me" signal, instructing the body to not eat harmful cells. Cancers take advantage of this signal to trick the immune system into ignoring them. Weissman's research showed that blocking CD47 can cure more than just blood cancers. The drug can also shrink or cure human breast, ovary, colon, bladder, brain, liver and prostate tumors that have been transplanted into mice. The treatment forced the mice's immune system to kill the cancer cells. This means this single drug could cure a variety of cancers and prevent cancers from spreading in the body.
Note: With many millions around the world dying of cancer every year, why aren't the most promising treatments being fast-tracked? Why is this article titled a "rumor"? Why isn't this making major headlines? Why isn't the very promising treatment of DCA, which is both cheap and incredibly promising, being given many millions to move rapidly forward?

In March, the head of the Centers for Disease Control issued an alarm, echoed by virtually every health authority in the world, that antibiotic-resistant bacteria threaten to return humans to the days when ordinary infections routinely killed and maimed. Yet the United States continues to use at least 70 percent of its antibiotics on livestock. Millions of pounds of antibiotics are routinely administered at low doses to large numbers of animals living in crowded conditions ... to speed their growth and prevent possible infections, creating ideal conditions for bacteria to become resistant. At the same time, drug-resistant infections acquired in hospitals kill 70,000 people a year. The problem is so dire that the Obama administration is paying drug companies to develop new antibiotics, and some groups want to test them directly on sick people to speed approval. While many physicians try to limit antibiotic use on sick patients to slow the spread of resistance, livestock growers can buy antibiotics over the counter at a feed store. "Many hospitals have implemented antimicrobial stewardship programs, in which every milligram of antibiotic use is scrutinized," said Dr. Tom Newman, a professor of epidemiology and biostatistics at UCSF. About once a month, Brad Spellberg, an infectious disease researcher at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, said he sees patients with abdominal or urinary tract E. coli infections that resist all oral antibiotics. Doctors are down to "one or two last-ditch IVs," or intravenous administration of antibiotics against some bacteria.

Peter Doshi ... is one of the most influential voices in medical research today. Dr. Doshi's renown comes not from solving the puzzles of cancer or discovering the next blockbuster drug, but from pushing the world's biggest pharmaceutical companies to open their records to outsiders. Together with a band of far-flung researchers and activists, he is trying to unearth data from clinical trials — complex studies that last for years and often involve thousands of patients across many countries — and make it public. The current system, the activists say, is one in which the meager details of clinical trials published in medical journals, often by authors with financial ties to the companies whose drugs they are writing about, is insufficient to the point of being misleading. For years, researchers have talked about the problem of publication bias, or selectively publishing results of trials. Concern about such bias gathered force in the 1990s and early 2000s, when researchers documented how, time and again, positive results were published while negative ones were not. Taken together, studies have shown that results of only about half of clinical trials make their way into medical journals. In 2009, Dr. Doshi and his colleagues set out to answer a simple question about the anti-flu drug Tamiflu: Does it work? Resolving that question has been far harder than they ever envisioned, and, four years later, there is still no definitive answer.
Note: If the public is going to be taking these drugs, shouldn't all safety studies be publicly available? What are the drug companies hiding? For more on corruption in the pharmaceutical industry, see the deeply revealing reports from reliable major media sources available here.
Volunteering is a simple way to help others, but it's also a powerful way to help yourself. Beyond the good feelings you'll get from donating your time, and the potential to develop new, meaningful relationships with people in your community, volunteering has a significant impact on your physical health, including a boost to your heart health. New research from Carnegie Mellon University, scheduled to be published in the journal Psychology and Aging, followed more than 1,000 adults between the ages of 51 and 91. Those who volunteered for at least 200 hours a year were 40 percent less likely to develop high blood pressure than those who did not. Research shows volunteering can cut your overall mortality risk by 47 percent, may lower your risk of depression and anxiety, and even boost your psychological well-being. The type of volunteer work appeared to be irrelevant. Rather, it was the amount of time spent doing it that mattered. The benefits are particularly pronounced among older adults, a population that tends to slow down once retirement hits. Social interaction, and the stress relief it can provide, is likely one major reason why volunteering has a beneficial effect on blood pressure, as it's a well-known fact that stress elevates blood pressure. Blood pressure aside, volunteering is not only a boon for your heart health. It's likely that one reason volunteering is so beneficial is simply because it keeps you active and on your feet. Instead of resigning yourself to your couch, choosing to volunteer adds many hours of non-exercise activity to your life – a key to optimal health.

Drug companies face accusations of secretly colluding with pharmacists to overcharge the NHS millions of pounds, following an undercover investigation by The Telegraph. Pharmaceutical firms appear to have rigged the market in so-called "specials" – prescription drugs that are largely not covered by national NHS price regulations. The prices of more than 20,000 drugs could have been artificially inflated, with backhanders paid to chemists who agreed to sell them. Representatives of some companies agreed to invoice chemists for drugs at up to double their actual cost. Chemists would then send inflated invoices to the NHS, allowing them to pocket the difference. Tens of thousands of the "special" drugs are not on the nationally controlled NHS price list and so costs can be manipulated by drug companies. Sales representatives for drug firms were secretly recorded by this newspaper offering to provide apparently falsified invoices allowing chemists to bill the NHS for sums far greater than they would spend. Another firm offered to pay an annual fee to chemists who agreed to offer its prescription drugs. Hundreds of millions of pounds of taxpayers money are feared to have been wasted in recent years due to the practice. The undercover investigation was launched after this newspaper was approached by a whistle-blower who alleged widespread malpractice. Undercover reporters posed as investors hoping to set up a chain of chemists.
Note: Watch the incriminating videos of these undercover deals at the link above. For more on pharmaceutical corruption, see the deeply revealing reports from reliable major media sources available here.
Urban homesteading differs from urban gardening in that it is a way of living that endeavors to be as self reliant as is possible in our modern age. The video [available at the above link] shows one family's commitment to urban homesteading and how they have freed themselves from the urban rat race, grow their own food, and much, much more. In Pasadena, California, is a 4,000 sq. ft. urban homestead, owned by the Dervaes family. This homestead feeds a family of four, producing about 6,000 lbs. of food annually, on just 1/10th acre [1/25th hectare]. 63 year old Jules Dervaes, started this backyard urban farm 10 years ago. It is a deliberate throw back to the story days of self reliant rural America. Jules and his children grow almost all of the food they need and everyone pitches in. At the time of this video, they were also raising eight chickens, four ducks, and two goats. The ducks and chickens lay thousands of eggs a year and keep the bugs in check. Over 400 varieties of vegetables, fruits, and edible flowers are grown in this compact space. Enough [is grown] to feed themselves with plenty left over for local chefs looking for organic, pesticide-free produce. Front porch sales net the family about $20,000 a year, which they use to purchase things that they can not grow on their urban homestead, such as wheat, rice, and oats. In addition to growing their own food, Dervaes family has gone off the grid. Their 'gizmos' are all hand powered. What little electricity that they do use is generated by solar panels.
Note: Watch the full, nine-minute video at the link above to get a closer look at this urban homesteading lifestyle. For a treasure trove of great news articles which will inspire you to make a difference, click here.
As part of its "Food With Integrity" program, Chipotle this week posted information on its website identifying which items on its menu contain genetically modified ingredients. The chain posted a chart noting that 12 out of 25 ingredients, including its rice, barbacoa, chips, chicken, vegetable fajitas, steak and flour tortillas (except in certain restaurants) use either genetically modified corn or soybean oil, the vast majority of which is derived from GM soybeans. The chain said that those ingredients are "currently unavoidable" but that it is "working hard" to eliminate them. This move comes on the heels of Ben & Jerry's announcement that all of its flavors will be GM ingredient free by the end of the year and Whole Foods pledge to phase out all foods with GM ingredients by 2018. Although GM crops ... are considered safe by federal authorities and are legal to plant and sell, some independent studies have linked them to health and environmental problems. The announcements happen amid a flurry of state bills to require mandatory labeling of food with GM ingredients. In more GM news, this afternoon the U.S. Senate passed a bipartisan amendment to require labeling of GM salmon as part of a 2014 Agriculture Appropriations bill. Overseas, where the labeling question is largely over, the GM debate rages over expanding GM crop planting approvals in the European Union. Asked [whether UK Prime Minister David] Cameron would eat GM foods or allow his children to eat them, the spokesman steadfastly declined to answer.
Note: Much of Europe labels their food for GMOs, which are even banned in many areas. Read an MSN article on the banning of GM foods from all restaurants and food in the UK's parliament at this link.

Dr. David Healy is an internationally renowned psychiatrist, psychopharmacologist, scientist, and author. He was responsible for submitting the key document that led to New York State's successful fraud action against GlaxoSmithKline. [Q.] You've written at your blog that "evidence-based medicine and RCTs [random controlled trials] are ... simply not the answer to determining cause and effect," [because] they're "quite likely to hide rather than reveal a problem like antidepressant induced suicidality." How in fact do RCTs hide such information? [Dr. Healy:] There are ... specific problems like miscoding, where suicidality becomes "nausea" or "emotional lability" or even "treatment non-responsiveness." There is also the problem of mislocation – patients on placebo end up being given problems they never had – and of nonexistent patients, who don't of course have adverse events. Beyond that, there are more sophisticated tricks that companies can and do play – such as claiming that increased rates of a problem on a drug are not really evidence of an increase in rates if the data are not statistically significant. In this way, companies have hidden many more heart attacks on Vioxx and Avandia or suicidal acts on SSRIs than have been hidden by miscoding or mislocation. When it comes to adverse events, trials almost never get the right answer. The deeper problem ... is the combination of product patents, prescription-only status, and the use of clinical trials as a means of determining efficacy – in particular, when the data from those trials are not made available. This creates a perfect product ... which industry can manipulate to mean whatever they want them to mean.

A simple vinegar test slashed cervical cancer death rates by one-third in a remarkable study of 150,000 women in the slums of India, where the disease is the top cancer killer of women. Experts called the outcome "amazing" and said this quick, cheap test could save tens of thousands of lives each year in developing countries by spotting early signs of cancer, allowing treatment before it's too late. Usha Devi, one of the women in the study, says it saved her life. "Many women refused to get screened. Some of them died of cancer later," Devi said. "Now I feel everyone should get tested. I got my life back because of these tests." Pap smears and tests for HPV, a virus that causes most cervical cancers, have slashed cases and deaths in the United States. But poor countries can't afford those screening tools. This study tried a test that costs very little and can be done by local people with just two weeks of training and no fancy lab equipment. They swab the cervix with diluted vinegar, which can make abnormal cells briefly change color. This low-tech visual exam cut the cervical cancer death rate by 31 percent, the study found. It could prevent 22,000 deaths in India and 72,600 worldwide each year, researchers estimate. "That's amazing. That's remarkable. It's a very exciting result," said Dr. Ted Trimble of the National Cancer Institute in the U.S., the main sponsor of the study. India has nearly one-third of the world's cases of cervical cancer — more than 140,000 each year.

Last week, the European Commission voted to place a two-year moratorium on most uses of neonicotinoid pesticides, on the suspicion that they're contributing to the global crisis in honeybee health. Might [that] inspire the US Environmental Protection Agency to make a similar move? The answer is no. The EU move will have no bearing on the EPA's own reviews of the pesticides, which aren't scheduled for release until 2016 at the earliest. Other food-related substances and practices that are banned in Europe [are] green-lighted [in the US]. 1. Atrazine: A "potent endocrine disruptor," Syngenta's popular corn herbicide has been linked to a range of reproductive problems at extremely low doses in both amphibians and humans, and it commonly leaches out of farm fields and into people's drinking water. What Europe did: Banned it in 2003. US status: EPA: "Atrazine will begin registration review, EPA's periodic reevaluation program for existing pesticides, in mid-2013." 2. Arsenic in chicken, turkey, and pig feed. 3. "Poultry litter" in cow feed. 4. Chlorine washes for poultry carcasses. 5. Antibiotics as growth promoters on livestock farms. 6. Ractopomine and other pharmaceutical growth enhancers in animal feed. 7. Gestation crates.
Note: For each numbered substance or practice, this article indicates the action taken by the EU and the inaction by the US government. For an article that gives more information on all of this and two additional banned practices, click here.
Can food be free, fresh and easily accessible? That's the bold question that the city of Seattle is hoping to answer with a new experimental farm not far from the city's downtown that will have fruits and vegetables for anyone to harvest this fall. On Beacon Hill, just south of central Seattle, landscape developers and a few affordable-food advocates are building an edible food forest. Everything grown in the area, from the tree canopies to the roots, will be edible. And it'll be open around the clock to anyone who wants to come and pick some fresh blueberries or pears. In its first phase, the farm will be 1.5 acres. But if it's successful, the public land it'll sit on—currently owned by Seattle Public Utilities—will be able to accommodate 5.5 more acres of growth. One thing that's striking about the idea (other than the idea in itself to have essentially a public farm that anyone can use—or abuse) is how the [crop] selection came together. Many are expected: apples, berries, row vegetables like lettuce or tomatoes. But others are pretty far out. A large Asian community in the area suggested things like Asian pears and honeyberries. A European influence led to the planting of medlar trees. The concept is modeled on permaculture, a design system and school of thought aimed at returning some land to its own devices. Offering people free, fresh food is one motivation, but making the land useful and ecologically enriched is the larger goal.

The newest edition of the "bible" of mental disorders ... is attracting criticism from a number of experts, both for the changes made and for the foundations of the manual. The fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders marks the first major revision since 1994 and comes in at almost 1,000 pages. Critics say the manual includes so many disorders and such broad definitions that it has a name for any behavior outside of a narrow norm. Shawn Rubin, the chairman of the school of clinical psychology at San Francisco's Saybrook University, said the manual has led to "the pathologizing of everyday experiences," contributing to unnecessary diagnoses and use of prescription drugs. "The debate is, do we put more and more problems to get people to come out of the closet, or are we making it so there are no normal people left?" said Stephen Hinshaw, a psychology professor at UC Berkeley and a vice chairman in the department of psychiatry at UCSF. The manual, first published more than 60 years ago, is used around the world and provides doctors in the field and patients a universal language. Insurers often provide coverage based on what diagnosis from the DSM clinicians give patients. Critics say the manual is not grounded in scientific research, instead relying on symptoms to identify disorders. They argue that a new classification system is needed. From a practical standpoint, experts say, research is a long way from identifying specific markers for mental illness, and a system that is more symptom-based is necessary at the clinical level.

A Wisconsin dairy farmer is set to go on trial for a strange offense: selling raw milk to a group of consumers who were members of a private buyer's club. So in many parts of America, it's basically legal to grow, sell, and smoke pot. But you can go to jail for selling people fresh milk? Wisconsin dairy farmer Vernon Hershberger, a 41-year-old father of ten, will go on trial later this month. Hershberger started a private buyer's club for raw milk in 2003 after "some friends from town—who were retired farmers—wanted to continue getting this raw milk that they had for years. By word of mouth ... it grew from there." By the time of his arrest in 2010, over 100 families were members. Technically, these club members were not customers of the farm, but partners: they legally leased animals from Hershberger, and in return for his family boarding and caring for their cattle on his 157 acres of farmland, they paid certain agreed-upon fees each time they came to pick up the products of those cattle—namely, raw milk. So Hershberger felt he didn't need a license as a retail food establishment, because there was no retail going on; the milk already belonged to the club members. Hershberger grew up milking cows by hand on a small Amish dairy farm, and this hold order violated his religious values: though no longer Amish, he's a non-denominational Christian, and opposes waste.

13 studies find that more than half of schizophrenics suffered childhood abuse. Another review of 23 studies shows that schizophrenics are at least three times more likely to have been abused than non-schizophrenics. It is becoming apparent that abuse is the major cause of psychoses. It is also all too clear that the medical model is bust. In the press release accompanying publication of DSM-5 [the American Psychiatric Association's classification of psychiatric disorders], David Kupfer, who oversaw its creation, states: "We've been telling patients for several decades that we are waiting for biomarkers. We're still waiting." This is an astonishing admission that there are no reliable genetic or neurological measurements that distinguish a person with mental illness. By contrast, there is a huge body of evidence that our early childhood experiences combined with subsequent exposure to adversity explain a very great deal.

The Food and Drug Administration is finally going to decide whether antibacterial soap actually works, or if it's causing more harm than good. Government researchers plan to deliver a review this year on the effectiveness and safety of triclosan, the germ-killing ingredient found in an estimated 75 percent of antibacterial liquid soaps and body washes sold in the United States. The chemical has been in U.S. households for more than 40 years, used for cleaning kitchens, people's bodies and clothing. The chemical is also found in mouthwash, toothpaste and toys, and depending on what the FDA finds, a $1 billion industry could be affected. The agency's review comes amid growing pressure from lawmakers, consumer advocates and others who are concerned about the safety of triclosan. Recent animal studies of triclosan have led scientists to worry that it could case hormone-related problems in humans including an increase the risk of infertility and early puberty. The concerns over triclosan offer a sobering glimpse at a little-known fact: Many chemicals used in everyday household products have never been formally approved by U.S. health regulators. That's because many germ-killing chemicals were developed decades ago before there were laws requiring scientific review of cleaning ingredients. The controversy also highlights how long it can take the federal government to review the safety of such chemicals. It's not uncommon for the process to drag on for years.

Lipstick can give your lips color, sheen and texture, but may also put you at risk of ingesting potentially toxic metals, UC Berkeley researchers say in the latest study to ferret out questionable compounds in cosmetics. The scientists said [on May 2 that] they found metals in every one of the 32 lipsticks and lip glosses they tested. Some of those substances, including lead, cadmium and chromium, are banned from cosmetics in Europe, but not in the United States. Previous studies had detected traces of lead in lipstick, but the researchers said theirs was the first to find a variety of other metals that can be toxic in high doses. Manganese, for example, which was found in varying amounts in the tested products, is linked to neurological defects in humans who inhale it on a continuous basis. Makeup manufacturers in the United States sometimes use metals as color additives. The researchers believe that potentially harmful metals are present in possibly thousands of lip products beyond the 32 they tested. "The fact that virtually all of them have some metals of some concern leads me to say that it's a concern in general," said Katharine Hammond, a UC Berkeley environmental health sciences professor and the study's primary investigator. The report appears in the current issue of Environmental Health Perspectives. Consumers should not be burdened with figuring out which products are safe, [Hammond] argued. Instead, she said, the responsibility belongs to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which regulates cosmetics.

In a study, researchers have found that long-term pot smokers were roughly 62 percent less likely to develop head and neck cancers than people who did not smoke pot. The new study featured 434 patients with head and neck cancers, which include tumors in the mouth, tongue, nose, sinuses, throat and lymph nodes in the neck, and 547 individuals without these cancers seen in the Greater Boston area from December 1999 to December 2003. After factoring out the impact of smoking, drinking, and other factors that might influence the results, smoking marijuana from once every two weeks to three times every two weeks, on average, was associated with about half the risk of head and neck cancer, compared with less frequent use. Those who took up pot smoking at an older age appeared to have less risk of these cancers than those who started it at a younger age. Compared to people who never smoked pot, those who began smoking marijuana between the ages of 15 and 19 years were 47 percent less likely to develop head and neck cancer, while users who began at age 20 or older had a 61 percent reduced risk, Kelsey and colleagues found. The authors note that chemicals in pot called cannabinoids have been shown to have potential antitumor effects. Other studies have linked marijuana use to a reduced risk of some cancers, such as cancer of the prostate, and now head and neck cancer. It's also been suggested that smoking pot may help stave off Alzheimer's disease and help combat weight loss associated with AIDS, and nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy in cancer patients.

A recently-published Harvard University meta-analysis funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has concluded that children who live in areas with highly fluoridated water have "significantly lower" IQ scores than those who live in low fluoride areas. In a 32-page report that can be downloaded free of charge from Environmental Health Perspectives, the researchers said: "A recent report from the U.S. National Research Council ... concluded that adverse effects of high fluoride concentrations in drinking water may be of concern and that additional research is warranted. Fluoride may cause neurotoxicity in laboratory animals, including effects on learning and memory. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of published studies on increased fluoride exposure in drinking water and neurodevelopmental delays. Findings from our meta-analyses of 27 studies published over 22 years suggest an inverse association between high fluoride exposure and children's intelligence. The results suggest that fluoride may be a developmental neurotoxicant that affects brain development at exposures much below those that can cause toxicity in adults. Our results support the possibility of adverse effects of fluoride exposures on children's neurodevelopment. There are so many scientific studies showing the direct, toxic effects of fluoride on your body, it's truly remarkable that it's not considered a scientific consensus by now. Despite the evidence against it, fluoride is still added to 70 percent of U.S. public drinking water supplies.

Do consumers really need to be concerned about eating meat they buy at the grocery stores? A new report released today by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) says, yes. The group analyzed 2011 data recently released by the U.S. government and found 81 percent of ground turkey and 55 percent of ground beef sold in supermarkets carried antibiotic-resistant strands of salmonella and Campylobacter. Together these bacteria cause 3.6 million cases of food poisoning a year. More than half of all chicken sampled carried antibiotic-resistant E. coli. Almost 90 percent of all store-bought meat also had signs of normal and resistant Enterococcus faecium – a bacteria that indicates the product came in contact with fecal matter at some point during or after processing. Even if the idea of a little diarrhea or a urinary tract infection does not faze you (both of which can be caused by E. coli), the problem is that as strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria become more commonplace in our lives, the less we are able to use the drugs to treat common human diseases. Many involved in the livestock industry like the American Meat Institute, the International Egg Commission, and the Animal Health Institute (whose membership includes Bayer, Merck, and Mars) reject these concerns. They also hold enormous power over legislators and committee members. In other words, if we continue to buy these meats, it is likely industry will continue to use antibiotics to raise animals. But by doing so, we will put our own health, and the health of the global population, at risk.

Commerce City, CO (Sports Network) - For the second time in five days, the Colorado Rapids and San Jose Earthquakes squared off in a Major League Soccer fixture, the latest being on Wednesday night at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
And, for the second time in five days, the Rapids (10-8-8) used a penalty kick goal in second-half stoppage time by Conor Casey to salvage a 1-1 draw with the Western Conference bottom feeders.
The Earthquakes held a 1-0 advantage thanks to a 67th minute penalty kick goal by Chris Wondolowski after a Rapids player deflected the ball with their arm in the penalty area after a free kick. Wondolowski easily beat goalkeeper Preston Burpo for his fifth goal of the season.
But, with time running down, Rapids forward Omar Cummings took control of the ball on the left side of the San Jose penalty area, and after a cut-back move, was taken down on a late tackle by Jason Hernandez.
After referee Ricardo Salazar pointed to the spot, Casey drilled home his league leading 15th goal of the season to help the home side salvage a point.
With the draw, the rapids move into a tie with Seattle for third in the West, while San Jose (5-12-7) stays last in the West, five points deep.
The Rapids will try to improve their playoff positioning in their next league match at Kansas City Saturday, while the 'Quakes will aim to rebound at D.C. on Sunday.
