It would be desirable to have improved designs of ostomy couplings which embody a springy or resilient split ring as a locking ring.
In an ostomy coupling, first and second coupling members 50, 60 are held together by a springy flexible split locking ring 70. A plurality of tabs 71 symmetrically arranged on each limb of the locking ring 70, can be withdrawn generally radially outwardly by an upward pull on the locking ring to permit separation of the two coupling members. The ring 70 is generally circular in its unstressed condition.
1. An ostomy coupling comprising;
first and second coupling members capable of being coupled together, each of said members having a central stomal opening, said first coupling member having a flange with a projection receiving channel, said channel being defined at least in part by a concentric inner and outer wall, said inner wall being positioned closer to said stomal opening, said outer wall having a plurality of tab-receiving slots extending therethrough, said second coupling member having a projection receivable in said channel when said first and second members are properly pushed together, said projection being lockable in said channel, and
a resilient, circular releasably lockable locking ring positionable circumferentially about said outer wall, said locking ring including a plurality of tabs projecting radially inwardly through said slots so as to lock said projections in said channel which said coupling members are coupled together, said locking ring including a manually grippable portion, said grippable portion being movable radially outwardly so as to move said locking ring radially outwardly and withdraw said tabs from said slots of said locking ring releasing said projection, said locking resiliently returning to lock said projections in said channel upon release of said grippable portion when said coupling members are coupled together.
2. The ostomy coupling according to claim 1 wherein said locking ring is made of acetal resin.
3. The ostomy coupling according to claim 1 further comprising a medical grade adhesive pad attached to the body side coupling member, said pad comprising a base which is a thin film of polymeric material such as polyethylene and an adhesive layer situated on the rear surface of the base, said adhesive layer formed either as a homogeneous blend of one or more pressure-sensitive viscous or elastomeric materials having intermittently dispersed therein one or more water-soluble or swellable hydrocolloid gums, or by one or more thermoplastic elastomers and/or one or more swellable cohesive strengthening agents.
4. The ostomy coupling according to claim 1 wherein said grippable portion includes a slot and a coupling member has a stud positionable in said slot, said stud being guided in its movement in said slot so as to constrain said radially outward movement of said locking ring.
This invention relates to an ostomy coupling.
Ostomy couplings are used to connect and disconnect a bag for receiving a stomal discharge to and from a medical grade adhesive pad which is applied to the peristomal area of the skin of the wearer. Many designs of ostomy coupling are known. One which has enjoyed considerable commercial success is described and claimed in U.K. Patent No. 1,571,657.
A two-part ostomy coupling in which unlocking of two coupling parts is achieved by deforming a ring is disclosed in our U.K. Patent Application No. 9409037.0, filed 6 May 1994, but published after the filing of this application.
An ostomy appliance in which a V-section ring holds coupling members together is disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,322,522 and 5,322,523.
In PCT Application W091/01119, published 1991 and corresponding to European Patent 482 104B, there is disclosed a locking ring for an ostomy coupling. An ostomy coupling which embodies such a ring is shown in European Patent 572 378B. Features of this design are that inwardly sprung tongues on the ring peripherally surround the joined coupling parts and that a press-button engagement device as well as a hook and detent engagement device are included, apparently in a quest for secure retention of the locking ring on the coupling parts. It appears inevitable that quite intricate manipulation of this design of coupling is needed when applying or removing the bag.
It has been proposed by Kubo, in Japanese Utility Model No. 62-11610, published Feb. 1985, that an ostomy device should have a double female ring structure which can interengage with a male ring. The male ring may be on the bag and the female ring on a skin-attachable adhesive pad, or vice-versa. The outer ring on the female ring is circular and flexible and has a pair of inwardly-extending catches at opposite ends of a diameter. By pressing on two diametrically extending lugs, whose diameter is substantially at right angles to the diameter joining the catches, the outer female ring is deformed so that the catches are caused to move radially outwardly, so permitting separation of the two coupling parts.
This arrangement, though perhaps operable in theory, has serious disadvantages in practice, for example (i) to connect or disconnect it is necessary to hold the coupling at four places, approximately spaced at 90� intervals around the periphery, (ii) pressing on two diametrically opposed regions will tend to bend the coupling out of its normal plane and the forces applied may easily cause the body side pad to be partially (or wholly) detached from the skin of the wearer, also the need to press in both ends of the diameter fully, and simultaneously, means that releasing the bag-side coupling is subject to uncertainty, (iii) the repeated attachment and withdrawal of the bag-side coupling part will cause the o-ring (provided to prevent escape of excreted matter between the male and female rings) to become worn, so compromising its sealing qualities with potentially highly embarrassing and undesirable results, (iv) the wearer may find it difficult to determine whether or not the two coupling parts are properly engaged, (v) the accuracy and forces needed for manipulation to connect or disconnect will be well beyond the capability of an infirm, confused, elderly or impatient wearer; (vi) it is hard to be sure that the appliance is properly locked; and (vii) in the case of large sizes, the old and infirm will find it physically difficult to span with their hand and push in diametrally opposed regions of the ring. A further disadvantage of Kubo and of many present day ostomy couplings is that they extend outwardly from the body an undesirable distance giving rise to embarrassing bulges under clothing.
It is an aim of this invention to provide an improved design.
According to the present invention, there is provided a coupling including a first coupling member and a second coupling member which are mutually interengageable and which surround an orifice, the coupling also including a resilient split ring which encircles the two coupling members and has a handle member arranged for upward movement when manipulated by the wearer to cause the split ring to be deformed such that radially-inwardly extending tabs on the ring are shifted between respective first positions in which the split ring is undeformed and the tabs lock the two coupling members together and respective second positions in which the split ring is deformed in such a way as to shift the tabs outwardly to positions where they permit separation of the two coupling parts.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the tabs are symmetrically arranged on the ring, and the split ring is made of a springy flexible plastics material. An acetal resin is preferred.
The invention will be better understood from the following non-limiting description of an example thereof given with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a plan view of an embodiment of the invention, showing part of the first coupling member and the locking ring;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view on the plane VI-VI in FIG. 1, but also showing the part at one end of a diameter, of a second coupling member, and illustrating the locking function of tabs on the locking ring;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of what is shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 3 showing the first coupling member but not showing the second coupling member; and
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a locking ring usable in this invention.
The ostomy coupling illustrated in FIGS. 1-5 comprises first and second coupling members 50 and 60 and a split locking ring 70. The first coupling member may be a plastics moulding and may be made of low density polyethylene. The second coupling member may also be a plastics moulding, e.g. of EVA. The first and second couplings may be respectively bag-side and body-side, or vice versa.
For the material of the locking ring 70, good results have been achieved with an acetal copolymer known as `KEMATAL` (Registered Trade Mark) which is also referred to as polyoxymethylene (POM) and is available from Hoechst. This is crystalline thermoplastic with an exceptionally stable polymer structure; a suitable grade is `HOSTAFORM` (Registered Trade Mark) C. 27021.
As mentioned, the ostomy coupling includes a first coupling member 50, a second coupling member 60, seen only in FIG. 2, and a split locking ring 70. It will be realised that the second coupling member is circular or closed loop shape, so as to be complementary to the ring and the first coupling member. FIG. 2 illustrates one end of a diameter. The first coupling member has an inner wall 51, an outer wall 52, apertures in that wall 52 and a flange 53 attached to a medical grade adhesive pad (not shown). A cover flange 54 assists in retaining the split ring 70 in position in the coupling, and a guidance stud 56 projects upwardly from the surface of the flange 53 and extends into an elongate slot 72, to be later described.
The second coupling member 60 has a flange 61 to the exposed surface 64 of which a wall of an ostomy pouch, not shown, is attached. The second coupling member has an encircling wall 62 and a radially outwardly extending rim 63 over which tabs 70 engage. This engagement provides the coupled condition of the coupling, illustrated in FIG. 2.
A split locking ring is embodied in this coupling, and is seen best in FIG. 5. It comprises locking tabs 71A-G, a gripping tab 73, and a slot 72 in that tab. The slot 72 is not shown in FIG. 4. The free ends of the locking ring are shown at 75. As seen in plan, the locking tab 71A is generally rectangular, but the remaining tabs 71B-71G are approximately half-pear-shaped. Each of these tabs has a curved surface, e.g. 74C, 74D, FIG. 1. These surfaces are provided so that approximately radially outward movement of the locking tabs is caused when the gripping tab 73 is pulled vertically upwards as indicated by the arrow C. The presence of the stud 56 extending into the slot 72 ensures that a substantially linear movement radially outwardly, i.e. upwardly in normal use, of the split locking ring is maintained. Of course as will be understood, upon this upward movement taking place, the free ends 75 of the locking ring move apart as sloped or curved surfaces 74 on the tabs 71 cause the tabs to move outwardly and thus release the rim 63. Hence the bag-side coupling member 60 and the bag attached thereto can be readily separated from the first coupling member 50 by pulling in an outward axial direction of the coupling. A medical grade adhesive pad is attached to the lower (as seen in FIG. 2) surface 53A of the flange 53 so that the appliance can be attached to the wearer.
The medical grade adhesive pad may comprise a base which is preferably a thin film of polymeric material such as polyethylene and an adhesive layer situated on the rear surface of a base. Such an adhesive layer is preferably formed as a homogeneous blend of one or more pressure-sensitive viscous or elastomeric materials having intermittently dispersed therein one or more water-soluble or swellable hydrocolloid gums and may also include one or more thermoplastic elastomers and/or one or more swellable cohesive strengthening agents.
It will be understood that modifications, alterations, and improvements could be made to the invention. For example, instead of having coupling members which are circular, it would be possible for them to be oval or of other closed loop shape. While the preferred material for the locking ring in each embodiment is an acetal resin, other plastics materials having the appropriate flexible and springy characteristics could be employed. Other specific mechanisms could be employed to achieve outward springing of the split locking ring thereby permitting the coupling parts to be separated. A flexible deflectible sealing strip may be provided on either the coupling member 50 or 60 to reduce the possibility of leakage and to take up any tolerances between the coupling members which may arise in manufacture.

UITableView setting contentOffset in UIViewController viewDidLoad doesn't take effect...
- (void)viewDidLoad
[super viewDidLoad];
// Uncomment the following line to display an Edit button in the navigation bar for this view controller.
// self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem;
self.tableView.contentOffset = CGPointMake(0.0f, 200.0f);
...the value is set, however, after setting an observer on the contentOffset of the table view I can see it is set to zero at least once more after viewDidLoad has run (this is in an empty iphone "table view" template project to ensure its not something I'm doing elsewhere).
I would use viewWillAppear: but that has the effect of losing the position of the users scroll if they are returning back to the controller from elsewhere.
Any ideas? I'm sure this must be simple :)

Consider it the year of "lite rock" for the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
Eric Clapton, Earth Wind & Fire, The Lovin' Spoonful, The Moonglows, Bonnie Raitt, and James Taylor have all been selected for induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, with the Fifteenth Annual Induction Ceremony set for March 6 at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City.
Jazz and blues legends Nat King Cole and Billie Holiday will also be inducted into the Cleveland-based Rock Hall as "Early Influences," while embattled Arista CEO Clive Davis will be inducted as a "Non-Performer."
As talented as the Class of 2000 is, some of the more popular names eligible for induction were passed over. Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, the O'Jays, Lou Reed, Steely Dan, and Richie Valens were all nominated, but they failed to make this year's cut (see "Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, Queen, Clapton Lead List Of Nominees For Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Class Of 2000″ ).
Ozzy Osbourne, frontman of the hugely influential Black Sabbath, asked back in October that Sabbath be removed from the Rock Hall ballot, declaring the nomination "meaningless" (see "Ozzy Wants Sabbath's Name Removed From 'Meaningless' Hall Of Fame Ballot" ).
For the Class of 2000, the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame also plans to induct several musicians as part of its new "Side-men" category, which recognizes those performers for their work backing other, more prominent artists.
The first group of "Side-men" to be inducted includes R&B saxophonist King Curtis (who played in both The Coasters as well as Aretha Franklin's band), Motown bassist James Jamerson, drummer Earl Palmer (a veteran of both Little Richard's and Fats Domino's bands), drummer Hal Blaine (of Phil Spector's Wall Of Sound), and longtime Elvis Presley guitarist Scotty Moore.
Clapton becomes the first musician to be triple-inducted into the Rock Hall, as
he was previously honored in 1992 as a member of The Yardbirds and again the following year for his work in Cream.
VH1 will tape the Induction Ceremony on March 6 and air an edited version of the event later that same month.

National Environmental Policy Act:
Little Information Exists on NEPA Analyses

What GAO Found
Governmentwide data on the number and type of most National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analyses are not readily available, as data collection efforts vary by agency. NEPA generally requires federal agencies to evaluate the potential environmental effects of actions they propose to carry out, fund, or approve (e.g., by permit) by preparing analyses of different comprehensiveness depending on the significance of a proposed project's effects on the environment—from the most detailed Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) to the less comprehensive Environmental Assessments (EA) and Categorical Exclusions (CE). Agencies do not routinely track the number of EAs or CEs, but the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ)—the entity within the Executive Office of the President that oversees NEPA implementation—estimates that about 95 percent of NEPA analyses are CEs, less than 5 percent are EAs, and less than 1 percent are EISs. Projects requiring an EIS are a small portion of all projects but are likely to be high-profile, complex, and expensive. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) maintains governmentwide information on EISs. A 2011 Congressional Research Service report noted that determining the total number of federal actions subject to NEPA is difficult, since most agencies track only the number of actions requiring an EIS.
Little information exists on the costs and benefits of completing NEPA analyses. Agencies do not routinely track the cost of completing NEPA analyses, and there is no governmentwide mechanism to do so, according to officials from CEQ, EPA, and other agencies GAO reviewed. However, the Department of Energy (DOE) tracks limited cost data associated with NEPA analyses. DOE officials told GAO that they track the money the agency pays to contractors to conduct NEPA analyses. According to DOE data, its median EIS contractor cost for calendar years 2003 through 2012 was $1.4 million. For context, a 2003 task force report to CEQ—the only available source of governmentwide cost estimates—estimated that a typical EIS cost from $250,000 to $2 million. EAs and CEs generally cost less than EISs, according to CEQ and federal agencies. Information on the benefits of completing NEPA analyses is largely qualitative. According to studies and agency officials, some of the qualitative benefits of NEPA include its role in encouraging public participation and in discovering and addressing project design problems that could be more costly in the long run. Complicating the determination of costs and benefits, agency activities under NEPA are hard to separate from other required environmental analyses under federal laws such as the Endangered Species Act and the Clean Water Act; executive orders; agency guidance; and state and local laws.
Some information is available on the frequency and outcome of NEPA litigation. Agency data, interviews with agency officials, and available studies show that most NEPA analyses do not result in litigation, although the impact of litigation could be substantial if a single lawsuit affects numerous federal decisions or actions in several states. In 2011, the most recent data available, CEQ reported 94 NEPA cases filed, down from the average of 129 cases filed per year from calendar year 2001 through calendar year 2008. The federal government prevails in most NEPA litigation, according to CEQ and legal studies.
Why GAO Did This Study
NEPA requires all federal agencies to evaluate the potential environmental effects of proposed projects—such as roads or bridges—on the human environment. Agencies prepare an EIS when a project will have a potentially significant impact on the environment. They may prepare an EA to determine whether a project will have a significant potential impact. If a project fits within a category of activities determined to have no significant impact—a CE—then an EA or an EIS is generally not necessary. The adequacy of these analyses has been a focus of litigation.
GAO was asked to review issues related to costs, time frames, and litigation associated with completing NEPA analyses. This report describes information on the (1) number and type of NEPA analyses, (2) costs and benefits of completing those analyses, and (3) frequency and outcomes of related litigation. GAO included available information on both costs and benefits to be consistent with standard economic principles for evaluating federal programs, and selected the Departments of Defense, Energy, the Interior, and Transportation, and the USDA Forest Service for analysis because they generally complete the most NEPA analyses. GAO reviewed documents and interviewed individuals from federal agencies, academia, and professional groups with expertise in NEPA analyses and litigation. GAO's findings are not generalizeable to agencies other than those selected.
This report has no recommendations. GAO provided a draft to CEQ and agency officials for review and comment, and they generally agreed with GAO's findings.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. -- Ricky Taylor scored 21 points to lead Chattanooga over Hiwassee 95-41 on Wednesday night.
Dontay Hampton, who was 4 of 5 from 3-point range, and Jared Bryant added 14 points each for the Mocs (4-8).
Chattanooga led 16-9 with 13:42 left in the first half before holding Hiwassee without a basket over the next 11:31.
The Mocs then went on a 27-0 run paced by 16 points from Taylor. He scored 13 straight at one point during the spurt, which led to a 45-15 Chattanooga lead at halftime.
Chattanooga shot 55.4 percent from the field (31 of 56), including a 10-of-18 performance from 3-point range (55.6 percent).
The Mocs also played well on defense, holding Hiwassee to 26.3 percent from the field (15 of 57).
The Tigers, of the NCCAA, were led by Ty Johnson with seven points, five rebounds and five steals.

Very professional and accommodating during our stay. Service was great.
An unexpected free upgrade was a pleasure. The hotel staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. The room was really fun as it had an eclectic look and feel---it almost felt as if at anytime a movie star would be just around the corner. The
pools were wonderful and after venturing out to take a look at the spa---we knew that next time we would definitely make plans to take advantage of it. We loved the fact that there were towels galore and the toiletries provided by the staff were of an excellent brand. It was so very relaxing and within distance to the new El Paseo shopping district as well as plenty of eateries. We were also within walking distance to a grocery store. The room was all stage in white providing a relaxing atmosphere. The extra comfort of feather comforters and wonderful cool sheets were just what was needed for a complete and comforting cool night.
The hotel is situated in the middle of some pretty cool shopping at El Paseo shopping and is a short drive away.

Luxurious hotel in the middle of the palm springs desert. The grounds are well manicured and the rooms are fantastique!
Very close to downtown PS
Weekend Getaway With A Twist: Relax in Retro Paradise
I wanted to get away for a special birthday weekend in Palm Springs, and The Parker made this weekend very special. Upon entering the hotel's eccentric 1970's inspired lobby, you know you're not in for a "run of the mill" hotel. The friendly staff
quickly directed me to my room in the North Building, where I had a 2nd floor King suite. The room was spacious, and was tricked out with funky 70's decor that wasn't tacky, but interesting. I particularly loved the super-high end soaps (Hermes) and shampoos that were stocked on the counter. The bed was comfortable and luxurious. The best aspects of the hotel are the resort-like settings, with long walkways, and the large oval pool, open 24 hours, with a great seen-and-be-seen vibe. The only downside was there were two weddings being hosted that weekend, and on the first day the wedding party dominated the pool, including bringing their own boom box, drinking loudly and alienating the hotel guests who weren't part of the party. The following day the wedding reception was held by the pool, and we were treated to the wedding parties vows, confessions, etc. I would have preferred a quiet day by the pool. I dined in the fine dining establishment Mr Parkers for two nights, and I recommend it for the food and the funky ambiance! Visitors should make a point of visiting Joshua Tree National Park (1 hour away) and hiking in Indian Canyon (10 minutes away). I am looking forward to my next stay at the Parker, I can't think of a better getaway!
Indian Canyon has a river of fresh spring water running through it -- in the middle of the desert! Take a 1 mile hike and be in this truly unique, spiritual paradise!
Romantic couple getaway
I absolutely LOVED this hotel. Besides it being an absolutely gorgeous resort, the staff was incredible!! Everyone was so nice and helpful. Mr. Parker's restaurant was beautiful and the food was amazing!!! The waiters were so helpful and
knowledgable and full of personality! We can't wait to go back!!!
A MUST!! Little pricey but SO worth it!!
Unique Experience
The Parker Palm Springs was like stepping back in time. When you arrive at the place it looks like a palace. They park by valet only and then whisk you through the two story tall orange door into the lobby. The lobby is decorated with flokati
rugs, suits of armor, blown glass, and just about every kitschy item you can imagine. Their employees are polite and attentive. The PSYC (the spa onsite) is amazing. It is very pricy (a 1 hour massage is about triple what other places charge) but worth every penny for the luxurious experience. There are indoor saltwater pools, saunas, two outside pools and a fantastic lemonade stand. The rooms feel like you're staying at grandmas house, but with modern conveniences. There is a DVD player hidden in the dresser, a mini-fridge under the bathroom cabinets, and free-wifi throughout the hotel. At turn-down they pull out a his & hers bear skin rug so your feet wont get cold. I would definitely stay here again.
Plush treatment
Huge room with ultra luxurious bath amenities (Hermes and L'occitane soap); ultra plush mattress and bedding and 2 very interesting places to have a cocktail. Very pleasant staff. Location is OK-- a few miles from town center. I wish they
would have had a coffee maker in the room...or at least informed us that a pot of coffee could be sent to the room at no charge.
It's about a 5 mile drive into downtown Palm Springs.
A wonderful escape
The hotel offers a peaceful, hip but not pretentious experience that makes you feel like Hollywood elite without being annoying. The grounds are beautiful and the rooms are clean and quiet. I would go back again and again, and plan to...
The cafe there offers a great breakfast
Cool spot in the desert

My friends describe me as athletic and responsible. I can be laid back unless I feel strongly about something. To me family is the most important foundation and I love the fact that I can sit in a room with my family (be that friends that i consider family or blood family) and talk and laugh for hours without having to entertain or be entertained. I believe in faith and that the best laid plans always are taken off course and you have to be flexible. I am looking for a fellow who can hold his own. A man who has some southern charm and a sense of family and faith. I am looking for a guy who takes pride in his health and his career. I am looking for a partner who will on a Sunday jump in the car and drive out to the mountains and forget about the world and hike to the prettiest over look in the East. I am looking for a guy who will tell me I am being a ridiculous girl. I am also looking for someone who makes me laugh hysterically and wants to do all sorts of cliche dates and just live life.

50 year old woman | East Brunswick, NJ, USA | Seeking men 37-50 within 50 miles
Not sure why I'm here. I guess like most people on this site, I'm curious if there is someone super compatible with me!
What can I say??? I'm a true-blue people person. I love to laugh love to make people laugh! And whereas I can be quite chatty, I can definitely appreciate (and enjoy) the art of listening. You'll be amazed at how much I pay attention to what you're saying. I'm a single mom whose children mean the world to me but would definitely enjoy sharing a dinner that didn't involve chicken fingers and/or mac-n-cheese. I'm looking for someone who has a genuine concern for me. Who cares about my day. Who cares about my thoughts. I promise you....I won't keep the conversation about me very long, but definitely wanna feel that my well-being is considered. I don't know if I've had that before in past r'ships and it's s'thing that is important to me now at this stage of my life. Along those lines I'm looking for someone who has my back...as much as I have his ...no matter what. I consider myself very loyal to my man. Don't misinterpret that as someone who will always agree with everything you say (cause there's a chance I won't), but I'll defend you to anyone and then when we're alone tell you just how wrong you really were (don't worry, I'll be gentle.....smile). I also appreciate those who assert themselves, one who takes the initiative is a very attractive quality! Plan a date, please! I love being asked what I'd like to do, go or eat ...but really appreciate my guy to make an effort in the planning. I'm not super athletic or coordinated but just think of the laughs we'll have while I try to be. BTW, laughing at myself is one of my best qualities! I'm trying to teach my girls how important it is to laugh at yourself not be a drama queen. I do not consider myself a drama queen at all (but then again would any girl in her right mind ever admit they were???) I have had some disappointments in life, but am ready to forgive and move on. Life is too short and I don't have the time or desire to dwell on the past. My story is interesting but doesn't define me. The Lord has remained faithful to me in ALL aspects of my life. Hopefully my relationship with the Lord is what defines me. Blessings to you in your 'search' and be encouraged because HIS plans for your life are good!

I love spending time w/my girls (9 & 5), so much more fun w/more people (preferably adults!!) Shopping is fun but wouldn't dream of asking you to tag-along.Even if you insisted there's a good chance I'd ditch you for a girlfriend
I love to entertain - cook for friends, play cards, go to movies. Love the beach -- provided there is someone who will help me watch my kids while I soak up the sun (hehe). Love to people watch &; figure out their story (or better, make up one!)

In fact, some early data suggests they are making us sick: GMOs have been linked to skyrocketing allergy rates, accelerated aging, digestive diseases, and organ damage. Pesticides used in conjunction with GMO seeds are systemic and used in such high amounts that the harmful chemicals actually wind up inside of the food.
Considering the potential health effects of GMOs in the food supply, the American Medical Association (AMA)—the nation's leading physicians' group—last week called for mandatory GMO safety assessments before GMO-containing foods are put in grocery stores. The AMA passed the resolution at its annual meeting in Chicago, pushing for an expedited look into the potential allergens in GMO food.
The physicians also took on another hot GMO topic—mandatory labeling on food packaging. Currently, food manufacturers don't have to disclose GMO ingredients, making it hard for many consumers to avoid them. (GMOs are, however, banned in organic foods.) More than 90 percent of Americans and numerous health organizations, including the American Public Health Association, American Nurses Association, American Academy of Environmental Medicine, and the British Medical Association, support mandatory labeling. While the AMA did not pass a labeling resolution, 19 physicians signed a statement supporting labeling. "In the face of scientific uncertainty, labeling is a common risk management tool and one that could help track any potential adverse health effects," the signed statement said. "Our support of labeling also takes into consideration the fact that consumers want to know whether there are genetically engineered ingredients in their food, and they have a right to know. We stand with the 90 percent of Americans who want mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods."
This November, a historic vote in California could set the tone for labeling genetically engineered foods. If the Right to Know Ballot initiative passes, all foods containing GMO ingredients that are sold in the Golden Gate State would be required to disclose GMOs on the label.
If you want to avoid GMOs before labeling and safety testing goes into effect, check the labels for organic certification or buy foods verified by the Non-GMO Project. If you can't find organic options and want to keep GMOs out of your diet, avoid processed foods. Many contain corn- and soy-derived ingredients, and in America, more than 90 percent of those crops are grown using genetically engineered seeds.

MIDDLEBURY — Adult tennis teams based at Middlebury Indoor Tennis enjoyed what MIT owner David Ignat called "probably the best ever" season of competition in Vermont league play and regional competition over this past winter, spring and summer.
Statewide, MIT teams compiled a 76-38 record, while eight of them qualified to play for New England titles by winning their divisions.

WEST HAVEN — Middlebury driver Todd Stone was among the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series winners on Sunday at Devil's Bowl Speedway in action postponed from Friday, and he is closing in on his second straight track championship.
BRISTOL — Four members of the local Sodbusters Horseshoe Pitching Club bested competitors from around the northeastern United States and South Carolina in a professional horseshoe tournament this past weekend.
VERMONT — Vermont has two bear hunting seasons. The early bear hunting season, which requires a special bear tag, starts Sept. 1 and continues through Nov. 14. The late bear season begins Nov. 15 and continues through Nov. 23.
The bear tag that comes with a hunting license is for use during the late season, which partially overlaps with the November deer season.
The early season bear tag costs $5 for residents and $15 for nonresidents. A hunter may only take one bear during the year.
ADDISON — In May 2013, Peter Macfarlane found himself in a bit of trouble.
The Addison resident had been canoeing across Lake Champlain and up the Missisquoi River for seven hours, enduring pouring rain and battling wind of 25 miles per hour.
"The conditions were foul, and things were looking bleak," Macfarlane recounted.
BRANDON — It's the end of an era for Otter Valley Union High School baseball as varsity head coach Tim Mitchell announced his retirement last week.
Mitchell, who led the Otters to a state championship in 2013 after a 37-year drought, said this past Monday that the demands of his business and his family led to his decision.
MONTPELIER — Curtis Smiley with the Vermont Big Game Trophy Club says a huge, 450-pound bear taken in the 2013 hunting season is the heaviest bear taken in Vermont by bow and arrow since 1898, and that it is a new record according to skull measurements.
Kevin Lamere of Brownington shot the bear on Oct. 5, 2013, with a bow and arrow in Orleans County.
GOSHEN — Ten years ago the Moosalamoo Association Inc. was named a finalist for a Conservation International/National Geographic Traveler World Legacy Award for its efforts to preserve and promote the Moosalamoo region.
Two years later the federal New England Wilderness Act designated the Moosalamoo region as a National Recreation Area.
WEST HAVEN — Joey "Fireball" Roberts sat through a half-hour rain delay and braved cool temperatures this past Friday night at Devil's Bowl Speedway, but the wait was worth it — Roberts dominated Brown's Quarried Slate/Brown's Orchard & Farm Stand Night for his second Bond Auto Parts Modified victory of the season. He was joined as a NASCAR Whelen All-American Series winner during the evening by Josh Masterson, Stephen Donahue, and Mike Whalen Jr.
MIDDLEBURY — The members of the Middlebury Union High School field hockey team, former player Brooke Jette and the Middlebury Recreation Department are offering their annual clinic to elementary school students on Mondays — and one Wednesday — this fall.

xAPI update: no more TinCan, an interview and a conference
So far this year it feels like the movement around xAPI has stepped up a notch. Previously, it was something a lot of people had heard of (mostly as TinCan) but not necessarily explored in much depth. This is changing and people are getting excited about the potential xAPI brings to their learning technology stack.
No more TinCan
One of the little annoyances about xAPI was the use of two names - there is a reason for this - therefore it is great to see a move towards calling it what it is: the experience API (xAPI for short).
An interview with Aaron Silvers
Aaron is a key member of the xAPI community - this interview is definitely worth checking out: xAPI, LRS – The Interview.
A new LRS
As use of xAPI grows, so will the number of products and services available to help harness the resulting data - enter Yet Analytics. Previously called An Estuary (I hope I have that right), Yet Analytics emerged toward the end of 2014 with a mission to "build the core data infrastructure for connected learning and training". They are building an LRS which is due on the market soon.
xAPI Camp
If you are interested in xAPI, what it is, who is using it, problems it is solving, then I recommend atending the xAPI Camp on March 24th in Orlando Florida. It looks like a great event with knowledgeable speakers.
Learning Locker v1.3.4
v1.3.4 of Learning Locker was release today, for full release notes head over to github.
@Learning_Locker v1.3.4 is out in the wild! :D https://t.co/2HZeE6TLez— Ryan Smith (@tweetRyanSmith) February 26, 2015
Personal LockerWork is continuing on a personal version of Learning Locker. We are keen to explore ways to empower learners to harness their data through an open source personal learning profile (PLP) powered by xAPI. We should have more news on this experiment towards the end of March.

HoneyLove Sanctuary
Almond joy! – Victory for bees -
With little fanfare, pesticide manufacturer Bayer has asked California regulators to limit the use of one of their most profitable products, imidacloprid...
Imidacloprid belongs to a class of systemic, neurotoxic pesticides known to be particularly toxic to honey bees: neonicotinoids. As systemics, they permeate the plant from the roots up and are expressed in pollen, nectar and guttation droplets (like pesticide dew).
Bad for bees, bad for almonds
New research suggests that even in very small doses, neonicotinoids create big problems for bees. Imidacloprid likely weakens their immune systems and, in combination with other threats like parasites, contributes to the alarming decline in bee populations termed "Colony Collapse Disorder."
…through a recent public records request, PAN obtained evidence of Bayer's request to remove the product in 2010. The EPA has little experience with voluntary withdrawl of a pesticide, so the agency has been slow to fulfill Bayer's request. But it's likely that a victory for bees — along with almond growers and beekeepers — is imminent.

Pesticides (from the Ocean Friendly Gardens - book)
Pesticides, like other residential flotsam, are swept off our properties during periods of rain and over-irrigation. These pesticides pose a threat to aquatic life and ground water supplies. Yet every landscape has pests: unwanted weeds, bugs, and animals. How you perceive and manage these pests determines, in part, the amount of pesticides swept off your property. A gardener practicing CPR may be more lenient with some pests, may seek less toxic alternatives for others, and may change the composition of their landscape to deter particularly destructive and determined pests.
Listed below are a variety of plants that either repel unwanted bugs, or attract beneficial insects, all of which reduces the need for pesticides.

Seven Billion People Need Bees
"This first week of November (2011) our population surpassed seven billion humans. And in the last week of October (2011) scientists from the University of California at Berkeley irrefutably proved that over one billion temperature sensors registered warming between 1-2 degrees Celsius, in some cases more than three times greater than the IPCCs average of 0.64 degrees Celsius. Humans are forcing the climate by burning carbon-based fuels releasing over 82 million metric tons of greenhouse gases, daily, on our planet.
All life forms are in jeopardy. Our food chain is perilously close to collapsing; yet the lawmakers in Washington regularly ignore this message. My biology and environmental students at California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks and I are miffed at why this issue is not front and center in DC…
We all need to be aware of the health and well being of the bees. Because without healthy honey, bumble, stingless and solitary bees there's no chance that more than seven billion people can thrive especially since the oceans are fished-out and currently feeding, unsustainably, at least a couple billion people, daily — in addition to acidifying (from absorbing rising atmospheric CO2) faster than any time in the last 60 million years…
Surprisingly, bees and humans share a number of similarities. For example, we both require restful and rejuvenating sleep. Sleep deprived bees, just like humans, experience communication problems like finding food and performing an accurate waggle dance to reveal locations of nectar, pollen, water and tree resin. Stressed bees like humans become anxious, depressed and pessimistic; they display emotion-like qualities. Moreover, bees that exhibit a high defensive behavior or optimism are likely to survive a winter rather than perish.
Did you know that humans have been keeping bees in cities for over three thousand years? Bees were kept in the "land of milk and honey" in the Iron Age city of Tel Rehov in the Jordan Valley — the oldest known commercial beekeeping facility in the world. It should then come as no surprise that city councils around the world have recently allowed urban beekeepers to keep hives in Santa Monica, New York, Chicago, London, Melbourne, Tokyo and many other places. In fact, urban beekeepers along with the tremendous support of city dwellers are planting more bee-friendly trees and flowers helping to sustain urban bee populations.
And make no mistake, bees around the globe are dying by the billions from insecticides like neonictinoids, climate-driven mismatches, introduced parasites and diseases, air pollution and habitat loss. In the last four years alone over a quarter trillion honeybees have died prematurely. Of the 100 crop species providing 90 percent of the world's food — over 74 percent are pollinated by bees…
Help save urban bees — please, do not use herbicides, insecticides, miticides or fungicides in your garden."

Supported USB profiles
After installing the USB driver package, plug your Android device into your computer using your micro-USB to USB cable. The following are the supported USB profiles via the Intel Android USB Driver package:
- ADB (Android Debug Bridge): This is the debug interface of Android. It is mandatory to use in order to re-flash, and debug.
- MTP (Media Transfer Protocol): This is the Windows protocol to facilitate the transfer of media files.
- PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol): This is the Windows protocol to allow the transfer of images from digital cameras to computers.
- RNDIS: This functionality provides a virtual Ethernet link using the phone network.
- CDC Serial (Modem AT Proxy): This functionality provides a link to a modem to allow the use of AT commands through a virtual com port:
1. Device is not recognized at all
These drivers are only for Intel devices. If you are using a device from one of our OEMs, please get the drivers directly from their web site, or you can use the list of links provided by Google here.
2. I have errors in Windows Device Manager
Open Windows Device Manager:
- You may see USB Mass Storage instead of ADB Device. If that is the case, right click on the Mass Storage device icon and select "Uninstall", then unplug your device from the computer and run the driver setup again.
- You may see Android Device with a yellow warning icon. If that is the case, right click on the Android Device icon and select "Uninstall", then unplug your device from the computer and run the driver setup again
3. I can see Portable Device but no Android Debug Bridge (ADB) profile
You may not have enabled the "USB Debugging" option.
The developer options on your phone are hidden by default. Open the settings on your phone and find the About section. Look through it until you see the "Build number" entry. Tap it five times in quick succession, and you should see a small dialog letting you know that you are now a developer.
Come back to the Settings main menu and go into Developer Options, then enable USB Debugging.
4. I am still using Windows XP. When I activate MTP, there is no pop-up to allow me to access the phone file system or transfer media files.
MTP is not supported by default with Windows XP. You have to install Windows Media Player 10 or later.
