RENO, Nev. A new rapid test to diagnose melioidosis, a difficult infection to treat and classified as a biothreat by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is being optimized and tested by University of Nevada School of Medicine researcher David AuCoin.
A $600,000 National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases grant through the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program recognizes the potential of AuCoin's work and supports making the new rapid test for point-of-care diagnosis of melioidosis available to countries where the disease is endemic, and expanding.
Melioidosis, also called Whitmore's disease, is predominately an infectious disease of tropical climates, especially in Southeast Asia and northern Australia where it is widespread. The bacteria causing melioidosis are found in contaminated water and soil. It is spread to humans and animals through direct contact with the contaminated source and has a high mortality rate.
"We have a prototype of the product in Thailand and Australia now, regions that are hardest hit, to evaluate it's effectiveness in endemic settings," AuCoin said. "There is no validated diagnostic product for melioidosis, patient samples must now be cultured, which takes three to seven days in order to diagnose the disease. Unfortunately, melioidosis can kill you well before the diagnosis is confirmed."
With the two-year Phase I STTR grant, AuCoin's laboratory is collaborating with InBios International of Seattle, Wash. on development of the Active Melioidosis Detect (AMD) test. They both are working closely with experts in the endemic areas of Thailand and Australia who are currently evaluating the test with different sample patient types.
"Results so far are very encouraging," AuCoin said. "We produced a monoclonal antibody to identify the Burkholderia pseudomallei bacterium, which causes melioidosis, and then introduced it into a prototype lateral flow imm

Rated 2 out of 5�by Dave73 Falling apart after a month and a half I have been a consistent buyer of New Balance brand for many years. These are the first that I've been disappointed in. Bought them near the end of March and now the first week in May and have holes in both shoes. I've included a photo of one shoe. I poked my finger threw to make it more visible. They are comfortable shoes otherwise, that's why I give it a 2 star instead of 1. Overall though, I'm very disappointed. And considering these are trail shoes, I would think they would be more durable. All I do is sit in a cube all day long. May 6, 2014

This invention generally relates to monitoring physiological parameters of a patient and more specifically to the monitoring of such parameters in patients who are geographically remote from a medical facility.
Monitoring of a patient's physiological parameters in a medical environment is an important element of patient diagnosis and treatment. Within a modern medical facility, such as a hospital, such monitoring is relatively easy to perform. The environment is controlled. The staff, including physicians, nurses, physician assistants and technicians, is qualified. Such facilities have equipment resources for enabling the monitoring of one or more patients for a variety of physiological parameters.
Unfortunately the advantages of a hospital environment with its resources and personnel do not exist at many trauma sites, such as those at accident scenes or at battlefield sites. First responders to an accident scene generally include an emergency medical technician (EMT). The EMT assesses the patient and, in conjunction with advice from medical personnel established by radio contact, initiates treatment. Typically the EMT stays with the patient during transport to a medical facility. The EMT can transfer his or her observations to personnel at the facility by interview and/or by written record.
An entirely different situation exists on a battlefield. On a battlefield a medic is attached to a particular unit. The medic treats a patient. When the medic completes treatment at the battlefield site, the patient is transported to another facility. However, the medic stays behind to attend to other patients. The medic's initial treatment protocol will be based on certain readings taken at the site. Then there are procedures for identifying the actions that were taken at the site. For example, if a sedative is administered, the medic may pin the syringe to the patient. Typically no interview occurs between the personnel at the medical facility, such as a field hospital, and the attending medic. Moreover, typically no information is recorded about the patient during initial treatment and transport to the field hospital.
Recently proposals have been made for personal monitoring systems for use in a battlefield environment. U.S. Pat. No. 6,198,394 (2001) to Jacobsen et al. discloses one such system for remote monitoring of personnel. This system utilizes a harness with a number of sensors to be worn continuously by a soldier. The sensors monitor a number of parameters including physiological variables. The harness carries a transmitting unit for transferring data to a central site.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,454,708 (2002) to Ferguson et al. discloses a portable remote patient tele-monitoring system using a memory card or a smart card. This system includes a multi-parameter sensor array applied to a patient's chest by means of a sensor band. The smart card or memory card stores measured data. Alternatively, a data logger carried by the patient receives the data. A base station receives the recorded information and transmits it to a remote monitoring site over a telecommunications link. The sensor band is disposable and has a limited life. For long-term monitoring, sensor bands may be replaced periodically.
U.S. patent Publication No. 2004/0147818 (2004) to Levy et al. discloses a portable system for monitoring and processing patient parameters in multiple operational modes. Specifically a data acquisition processor receives data from sensors on a patient and processes that data. The processed data is communicated to a docking station with a portable monitoring unit in one operational mode or to a network access point in a wireless network in another operational mode.
As will be apparent, each of these proposals requires the use of bulky equipment. The Jacobsen et al. patent requires a soldier to wear a harness to be worn at all times. First, such a requirement requires the soldier to carry extra weight and to take precautions to avoid damaging the equipment during normal use. It is not likely that such a harness would be an acceptable alternative for application to a trauma patient on a battlefield or at another trauma site. Such apparatus is bulky, so it would be difficult to inventory such harnesses for multiple patients. In addition, medical personnel would have the additional burden of placing the harness on a trauma patient under adverse circumstances.
Each of these systems depends upon the availability of sophisticated communications links, such as those available in a hospital environment. They are not always available at a trauma site or on the battlefield. The use of smart cards or memory cards as suggested in the Ferguson et al. patent present problems because such devices are prone to being lost at a trauma site or during patient transport to a hospital or other central site. Further, only the data measured at the trauma site is recorded.
Oftentimes it is desirable for a medic to obtain a patient's blood pressure at the trauma site. In accordance with a popular method, a medic inflates a blood pressure cuff and then slowly deflates the cuff while monitoring the radial artery with a stethoscope to obtain the systolic and diastolic pressure readings. These devices are bulky for field use. Moreover, they do not record data. Consequently, the medic must record the blood pressure manually, typically by preparing a written record.
Other approaches have been proposed for providing various functions related to monitoring pulse waveforms and the like. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,742,937 (1973) to Manuel et al. discloses a cardiac monitor for generating an alarm if a patient's heart rate exceeds a threshold. The monitor includes a pressure sensitive diaphragm for sensing the pulse wave transmitted from the heart. A mechanico-electrical transducer, in the form of a strain gauge or capacitive element converts the pulse into a digital signal.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,722,414 (1998) to Archibald et al. discloses a blood pressure monitoring system including a transducer, a side wall, a flexible diaphragm and a fluid coupling medium. This sensor is adapted to be strapped to the wrist and includes means, including an electric motor for properly positioning and maintaining pressure during the measurement.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,514,212 (2003) to Ide et al. discloses a hemadynamometer with an air bag that is wrapped about the wrist for obtaining oppression or ischemia of the radial artery. A pneumatic pump pressurizes the air bag until ischemia is realized. A constant exhaust valve then gradually exhausts the bag while a pressure sensor detects the pulse signals of the radial artery. These signals are converted to digital signals for analysis and for obtaining blood pressure.
U.S. patent Publication No. US 2004/0167414 (2004) to Tanabe et al. discloses pulse wave monitoring device for obtaining a physiological characteristic such as an arteriosclerosis index.
Each of these approaches also tends to be bulky and expensive. What is also needed is a patient monitoring system that is adapted for providing a blood pressure measurement at a trauma site. What is also needed is a patient monitoring system that enables a recorded blood pressure at a trauma site to be electronically recorded for transport with the patient to a hospital or other medical facility. What is also needed is a patient monitoring system in which the components required for obtaining blood pressure can be combined with components for providing other functions.
Therefore it is an object of this invention to provide patient blood pressure measurement apparatus that is adapted for use in a variety of environments including battlefield environments.
Another object of this invention is to provide apparatus for measuring blood pressure upon the arrival of a first responder or medic at a site and recording that measurement for transport with the patient to a medical facility.
Yet another object of this invention is to provide patient monitoring apparatus that is easy to use and facilitates the measurement of blood pressure.
In accordance with one aspect of this invention, apparatus for recording a pulse waveform generated at a measurement site on a patient's body includes a rigid housing that can be brought into proximity to an artery at the measurement site. A pressure transducer mounts to one side of the housing for generating an electrical signal that is a function of pressure at an input to the pressure transducer. A passage is formed through the housing from the input of the pressure transducer to communicate with the interior of bladder mounted to the other side of the housing. The bladder forms a sealed, fluid-filled cavity at the passage. Consequently when the bladder is brought into contact with skin at the measurement site, the pressure transducer produces a representation of a wave-form signal including pressure changes due to changes in the blood pressure in the artery.
In accordance with another aspect of this invention a system for obtaining a measurement of a patient's blood pressure includes a sensing-recording device and a probe. The sensing-recording device attaches to the patient and includes a memory, at least one sensor for measuring a physiological parameter and a memory for storing time-stamped samples of the physiological parameter in said memory. The probe is adapted for being applied with an application pressure to a measurement site remote from the site of said sensing-recording device. The probe generates a signal representing a pulse wave form at the measurement site for storage in a probe memory as time-stamped samples of the signal. The probe generates a representation of the patient's blood pressure based upon the retrieved time-stamped samples from said memory in said sensing-recording device in the probe memory.
In accordance with still another aspect of this invention a sensing-recording device that provides to an output device a history of a medical parameter of a patient includes a housing, a power supply in the housing and circuitry for storing in a memory data that represents the medical parameter. A normally open switch includes a locking structure that is operable when the switch is closed energizing the circuitry thereby to block any attempt to disconnect the power supply from the circuitry.
The various objects, advantages and novel features of this invention will be more fully apparent from a reading of the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which like reference numerals refer to like parts, and in which:
As particularly shown in
Both the housing 213 and arm 215 include sensing elements. In the embodiment shown in
In use a medic will, upon arrival at a patient, attach one sensing-recording device 211 to that patient. For example the sensing-recording device 211 could be attached by sliding the clip arm 215 into the patient's mouth and positioning the housing 213 on the patient's cheek.
In this embodiment the temperature sensing element 226 is also included in the clip arm 215. It is shown separately in
Each of these sensors produces a signal that is transferred to a controller 230 located in the housing 213. In this specific embodiment amplifiers 231 and 232 convey amplified analog signals representing skin impedance and temperature to the controller 230. An amplifier 233 and filter 234 provide signals to the controller 230 from the photocell 221 representing specific frequencies of the light emitted by the LEDs 222.
When the on/off switch 216 closes there is a connection between a battery 235 and a regulated power supply (REG P/S) 236 for energizing the controller 230 with an internal clock 237. A control 240 operates so the controller 230 interacts with memory. In this specific embodiment the memory is partitioned into BUTTON MEM 1 memory 241 and BUTTON MEM 2 memory 242. Other partitioning or even separate memories could also be used. As will become apparent, functionally the memory can be considered as having two partitions. The controller 230 also interacts with the IrDA transceiver 243 that would be located behind the window 217 in
As shown in
As the cover rotates from the OFF position to the ON position, a spring contact 326 keyed to the shaft 318 also rotates. It has two diametrically opposed radially extending electronically interconnected arms 327 and 328. In an OFF position the arms 327 and 328 contact insulating material. When the switch reaches the ON position the spring contacts 327 and 328 overlie conductive pads 331 and 332, respectively. As shown in
Thus after sensing-recording device 211 has been attached to a patient, the medic rotates the on/off switch 216 to energize the controller. As described in more detail later, communications are then established between the probe 212 and the sensing-recording device 211. When this occurs, a control 240 begins to sample the outputs of the various sensors from the clip arm 215 and activates an LED driver 244 to begin the measurement sampling sequence. The control 240 transfers each sample into the BUTTON MEM 1 memory 241. Typically the BUTTON MEM 1 memory 241 will have a capacity to store samples for 12 hours or so and may also act as a FIFO stack. In a preferred embodiment no sampled data is applied to the BUTTON MEM 2 memory 242.
In response to other communications the control 240 decodes information from an IrDA transceiver 243 for being loaded into BUTTON MEM 2 memory 242 and for transferring data from the BUTTON MEM 1 memory 241 to the probe 212. The controller 230 also includes circuitry (not shown, but known in the art) for converting signals from the various sensors in the clip arm 215 into digital formats for recording in the BUTTON MEM 1 memory 241. Each sample is time-stamped with information from the clock 237. As described later, the time in the clock 237 is established by communications between the probe 212 and the sensing-recording device 211.
The controller 230 also may include a storage register 245 for storing a permanent unique serial number. As described later, this serial number is useful in assuring that data about one patient is not inadvertently transferred to the sensing-recording device 211 for another patient.
Now referring to
The housing 250 also carries a digital display 260 proximate the other end portion 252 as shown in
Referring to
In addition the housing 347 as shown in
Referring again to
When a medic wishes to take a measurement, the probe 212 is placed over a measurement site, such as the radial artery and a force is applied typically by squeezing the probe 212 against the patient's arm with the bladder 338 positioned over the measurement site. With appropriate pressure, pressure changes are conveyed through the thin material of the membrane 350, the fluid in the cavity 353 and then through the aperture 342 and tubing 343 to the input of the pressure transducer 344.
The value of the output signal 344 represents the instantaneous pressure within the bladder 338. This instantaneous pressure has two components. A first component is the pressure due to the force with which the probe is applied to the patient's arm. The second is due to the pressure within the artery being measured. The first component will vary slowly in comparison to the second component over time.
Basically the probe interface 271 converts signals from the various sensors into a digital format for transmission across a path 277 to a computer-driven probe controller 278. The probe controller 278 also interfaces with the first and second keypads 261 and 262, the display 260 and an IrDA transceiver 279 that is located behind a window at the end 252 of the probe 212.
The probe controller 278 includes a program controlled central processor represented as a program control 280. The probe controller 278 also includes a clock 281 that can be synchronized to any real time through interaction between the display 260 and the keypads 261 and 262. A medical data memory 282 stores any information provided by medical data application programs 283, such as an OMAS program for converting signals from the various sensors attached to the probe interface into an Oral Mucositis Assessment Scale (OMAS) value or, for implementing one embodiment of this invention, a blood pressure measurement program. The medical application programs 283 produce the data in the medical data memory 282 along with time stamps based upon information from the clock 281. All these operations occur in response to a probe operation program 284.
The probe controller 278 additionally includes an "in use" serial number register 285 for use as described hereinafter.
Still referring to
The probe operation program 284 as shown in
Assuming communications are established, control transfers to step 293 whereupon the probe reads the data in the serial number register 245 and the "in use" serial number register 285. If the medic is returning to the same patient, the serial numbers match. So, control passes from step 294 to
Step 296 then enables a first synchronization procedure. Assuming that the medic has energized the sensing-recording device 211 by activating the on/off switch 216, step 297 synchronizes the clock 237 in the sensing-recording device 211 shown in
If the synchronization of step 297 can not be completed successfully, step 300 transfers control to step 292 to display an error message and potentially provide information with respect to recovering from the error.
Once the clock synchronization has occurred, the program operation control uses step 302 to communicate through the IrDA transceivers 243 and 279 in
When the medic has completed actions in step 303, step 304 initiates a process by which the medic retrieves information from the BUTTON MEM 1 memory 241 that contains the time stamped data relating to the monitoring operation by the sensing-recording device 211. When all the data has been retrieved, step 305 processes the information in the probe medical data memory 282, including the information from the BUTTON MEM 1 memory 241, to produce results as feedback to the medic according to medical data application programs 283. For example, one display might be a graphical representation of OMAS values over a period of time. During this interval, the sensing-recording device 211 continues to add data to the BUTTON MEM 1 memory 241.
When step 305 completes its operations, step 306 transfers selected data from the medical data memory 282 to the BUTTON MEM 2 memory 242. Thus the BUTTON MEM 2 memory 242 contains all the results of the readings taken by the medic at the battlefield site and the results of any data that was contained in the BUTTON MEM 1 memory 241 that was processed in step 305. When step 306 is completed, control transfers to step 400 in
When the medic wishes to take blood pressure, step 401 transfers to step 403 which represents the application of the probe 212 with the bladder 338 over the radial artery or other measurement site. As this occurs step 404 provides an indication on display of the value of the pressure.
More specifically, step 405 represents the sampling of the raw data from the pressure transducer 344 and the filtered data from the band pass filter 354. For each sample, the raw data and the filter data are stored in corresponding data sets with time stamps. In addition the processor may use a moving average over some time of the raw data to generate the signal representing the pressure being applied.
As shown in
After the information has been obtained and recorded in step 406, step 407 represents a process by which the corresponding data sets are read from the BUT 1 MEM memory 241, particularly the data representing the pulse oximetry obtained by the sensing-recording device 211. Step 410 then correlates the measurement times in the two data sets through a best fit or other analysis. The difference between the timing represents the times required for a particular pulse to travel from the heart to the patient's cheek and the heart to the radial artery. As known, this time of flight data is useful in deriving a blood pressure reading which then can be displayed by step 411. The data can also be recorded in the BUT 2 MEM memory 242. In this way the blood pressure is recorded and travels with the patient to the next medical facility. Alternatively the blood pressure measurement process of
Thus, when the patient is transported, the sensing-recording device 211 contains data in the BUTTON MEM 2 memory 242 that identifies his condition when the medic attended the patient. The BUTTON MEM 1 memory 241 contains the time stamped raw data that continues to be obtained from the various sensors in the sensing-recording device 211.
When the patient reaches a medical facility, it is a simple matter for a properly equipped data processing system, such as a laptop computer with an IrDA port, to communicate with the controller 230 in the sensing-recording device 211 and download all the data from both the BUTTON MEM 1 memory 241 and the BUTTON MEM 2 memory 242. This data can be further processed in accordance with various application programs to provide further diagnostic information. Unlike the prior art, however, this information provides a continuum of patient data from the time first synchronization procedure is initiated until the time the data is downloaded from the patient.
As will now be apparent, apparatus constructed in accordance with this invention and based upon the specific embodiment shown in
It will also be apparent that this invention has been described with respect to a specific embodiment with particular organization of components and controls. A number of variations can be made by those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from this invention. For example, the sensing-recording device 211 is shown with a structure particularly suitable for disposing the sensing-recording device housing 213 on a patient's cheek with the clip arm 215 within the mouth. Other form factors could be utilized that would adapt the function of the sensing-recording device 211 for attachment to other parts of the body, such as an earlobe, as might be dictated by a particular set of physiological parameters being measured. The probe 212 has been shown as a single device with particular form factor and layout of controls. Each of those could be modified to adapt the probe to different ergonomic or other conditions.

Falls sends letter to parents in response to threat rumors
Like many schools across the area including in Oak Creek and Waukesha, rumors of a threat to Menomonee Falls High School have been circulating at school and in the community, which officials at the School District said are being thoroughly investigated.
A letter was sent to Menomonee Falls parents, saying nothing has indicated that there is a threat to the school on Friday, which is the day the rumor has targeted.
In cooperation with the Menomonee Falls Police Department, any concerns about specific students have been investigated through interviews with students and families, locker searches and media monitoring, according to the School District.
"While we intend to be visible and vigilant on Friday we do intend to continue with classes," reads a letter sent to parents from Menomonee Falls High School Principal Corey Golla. "As a parent you have every right to keep your children home on Friday."
The letter also asks parents to tell their children that providing false information will result in serious consequences at school and with police.» Read Full Article
Menomonee Falls' ace Weber returns and stymies Oak Creek, 6-2
The tedium, boredom and frustration that nearly engulfed Menomonee Falls all-state pitcher Ty Weber during his month off because of an abdominal strain injury was replaced tonight by anxiety, fatigue and ultimately success as he made his comeback with an impressive 6-2 win over Greater Metro Conference leader Oak Creek.
"I was exhausted after facing the meat of their order," he laughed after striking out the Knights' freshman phenom Alex Binelas with the bases-loaded in the seventh, "but I wasn't on a pitch count, because I definitely feel a lot better. This is so much nicer than just sitting around and watching."
And his was a welcome return as with the win, the Indians are now 11-4 in league play and 16-5 overall, while the Knights lost their second straight GMC tilt to fall to 12-3 and 20-3, respectively.
The Illinois-recruit Weber had played but a few games and won only one contest pitching before being hit by the strain. He was then very limited after that, missing several weeks completely before finally coming back last week, where he displayed his usual big bat and also threw a comfortable two innings of relief in a win over Franklin.
The nine-strikeout, four-walk effort was hardly perfect, but was a big jolt in the arm, said Indian coach Pat Hansen.» Read Full Article
Menomonee Falls baseball team still in GMC hunt despite Marquette loss
There's still time to get things done for the Menomonee Falls baseball team, despite the frustrating 6-5 Greater Metro Conference loss to Marquette on July 27.
The loss broke a seven-game winning streak for the Indians and prevented them from pulling to within a game of GMC leader Oak Creek, which had lost to Franklin on July 26.
But with four games left on the league slate, Falls coach Pat Hansen is remaining optimistic, especially when the Indians are starting to hit the ball and with the fact that all-state pitcher/first baseman Ty Weber has finally worked his way back into the lineup after recovering from an abdominal injury.
Falls entered the week 10-4 in league play and 15-5 overall, while Oak Creek began the week at 12-2 in GMC action. The two were to have played on June 29.
Pending the weather, the Indians were to have finished their regular-season, league slate with four games, including a home game with Brookfield East on Thursday, July 2, and a road game at Brookfield Central on Friday, July 3.» Read Full Article
Kapco Classic title a step forward for Germantown baseball
They brought home a plaque, and there were medals, too, and what's more, there was some winning baseball to be had for Germantown on June 27, when the struggling Warhawks found their step and beat both Kiel (3-2) and Pewaukee (6-4) to claim the first Kapco Classic at Concordia University.
Coupled with the 12-2 victory over Kettle Moraine on June 26, the Warhawks had recorded another season first, their first three-game winning streak.
"I'm really happy for the guys," said Warhawk coach Jeff Wolf. "We had come off a tough stretch of games with (18-1) West Bend West back-to-back and then other games where it always seemed like we were seeing the other team's No. 1 (pitcher).
"We beat some good teams; this was good for us."
The trio of victories improved Germantown to 9-11 overall and the team entered the week at 4-7 in North Shore Conference games. If the weather holds, the Warhawks will have four league games this week, including back-to-back contests with Grafton with a 5:30 p.m. home affair on Thursday, July 2.» Read Full Article

Menomonee Falls girls lose wild state soccer semifinal, 4-3
The Menomonee Falls girls soccer team had heart, it had verve, and it had skill Friday night in its rousing 4-3 WIAA state D1 semifinal defeat to top-ranked DC Everest.
What the Indians needed was just a few more seconds.
Down a seemingly insurmountable 3-1 with just 8:42 left to play, the Indians staged a memorable comeback that came up just short.
Fueled by quick strike goals Kylie Sprecher at the 83:54 mark (on a nice feed from Tessa Estock) and another score from Maggie Greifenkamp at the 85:52 mark (Estock again), the Indians found themselves elated, tied and with an opportunity to repeat what the boys did last fall after an equally memorable semifinal win over Beloit Memorial:

NEW YORK No rent collection while in jail, double the dough for landing on Go and clean out Free Parking if your luck takes you there are among five made-up Monopoly rules Facebook fans voted in for future editions of the board game.
Several thousand people weighed in on house rules over 10 days of recent debate and a year after Hasbro Inc. added a cat token and retired the iron a stunt aimed to keep the 79yearold game fresh.
New means old all over again in this case since house rules are often passed on through generations. Some casual players may have thought a few of the 10 in the running before debate ended Thursday were already in the official rule book. And some, even regular players, might not have heard of others.
Hasbros house rules debate came after the company received results of a survey showing nearly 70 percent of 1,000 respondents reported never having read all Monopoly rules and 34 percent said they had made up rules more than once.
The winning house rule for landing on Go means players get 400 Monopoly dollars instead of the official 200. As for Free Parking, official rules call for absolutely nothing to happen when a player lands there. Under the house rule, any taxes and fees collected are thrown into the middle for a lucky someone who lands on that corner square.
Rounding out the five winners are players must travel around the board one full time before they can begin buying properties, and collecting 500 bucks for rolling double ones.
To appease hardcore players not interested in new rules, the Pawtucket, R.I., company will put the winners into a special House Rules Edition to be released in the fall and add them to classic Monopolys game guide next year as unofficial.

Prince Harry is finally returning to Buckingham palace after a five-month deployment in Afghanistan.
While serving in the Army Air Corps, Prince Harry wasn't a Prince but was referred to as Capt. Wales.
Well, now that he's protected his country he can return to the things he does best, which is, uhhh party and uhmm party and uhmmm…well what WILL Prince Harry do now that he's returning home? Here are our suggestions...
1) Date A Blonde UK Socialite: Harry has recently been linked to 23-year-old "model" Cressida Bonas, 25-year-old underwear model Florence Brudenell-Bruce, and The Saturdays singer Mollie King. However, the Prince is 100% single and ready to find the next up-and-coming pseudo model-esque socialite type.
2) Go Streaking Thru Buckingham Palace: He's already conquered Vegas nudity, so he's GOT to break-in Buckingham palace, right? It's only fair.
3) Pull A Bieber: He's already had nude photos leaked, so it's going to be hard to top that. Make a sex tape? Leak a sex tape? Date a U.S. celebrity? Get caught smoking? Yeah..a drug scandal. That's so Bieber of him. Prince Harry needs to get caught smoking a joint.
4) Date Taylor Swift: C'mon, how INSANE would that be? You know Tay would be ALL about it. Besides, it would round out the "royalty" portion of her dating pool.
5) Join Instagram: I really feel like I'm wasting my life every day that Prince Harry DOESN'T have an Instagram account. He is SUCH a party boy and Instagram was invented to show off party pics. It's only right.

Day 8
The long way home.
We get up to another beautiful day, finish our coffee & head off in search of a Tim's. Our plan is just to take the Trans-Canada to the border, and then stop somewhere in
House with a gun turret?
getting' down the road
we make it to the border in fine style.
border guards are basically a bunch of surly twats… and give us grief waiting in line on the bridge
"do you have your documents?"
yes.. right here in the tank bag
"well take them out, we're trying to speed this up.
don't stick your passport in your mouth, hold it in your hand!".
F'king clown's obviously never ridden a motorcycle. Anyway, the guy at the booth was nicer, and we're through customs and stopped at a nearby gas station. It's looking like rain… "how far to home?" and we realize we've gained an hour back on eastern time. "hey it's Thursday, lets go to MotoMarket for food and see who's hanging out" (Thursday is euro-trash night). So, with that decided we hit the slab. No pictures from here on, just grinding the miles. We arrive at MM, see a few friends and have some chow. Bone-tired, only another hour to home!
The tale of the tape:
576 miles on the last day.
I gotta say the trip was a blast, everyone we met along the way was friendly & helpful (except the border guards.. they need to take lessons from the Canadian girls!
Camping on a motorcycle was a hoot and we saw some amazing scenery. If you've ever been to
Nova Scotia
, you know what I mean, and I'm sure there's tons more to see…. If you haven't been WHAT
Last, but not least, I'd like to say a word about our friend
Adam Bell
. Adam was killed by an old lady who turned left in front of him just over two years ago. Adam talked about going to
Nova Scotia
… he even had the map. Merc got the map from Adam's widow, so in a way, he was with us too.

WASHINGTON -- Sen. Evan Bayh's biggest impediment to capturing his party's nomination for president is his perceived lack of passion, according to a Republican pollster who tested nine of the likely 2008 Democratic candidates before voters in Iowa and New Hampshire.
"He has to be more passionate. He doesn't have a choice," said pollster and political strategist Frank Luntz. "The only thing that holds him back is that they want to see emotion. It's one of those things where if I were working for him, I'd go to him and say, 'Senator, I can't change this. Do you want to be president or not?' "

33 year old woman | Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA | Seeking men 28-43 within 50 miles
Looking for a honest Christian man
Hello. I am a strong Christian girl who is family-oriented, fun, sweet, intelligent, athletic, and confident. I love to stay active and work-out regularly. I was born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, FL, but my family's background is french Canadian. My friends would describe me as loyal, honest, ambitious, out-going, kind, and caring. I am the youngest of five and have four older brothers. So though I love to dress up for a night out I'm also definitely not afraid of the great outdoors. I am looking for a honest Christian man who is also family-oriented, a good communicator, and who shares some of the same interests of me. Someone who is gentleman and knows how to treat a woman like a lady. Someone who is ambitious and knows what he wants in life. I am passionate about mastering all domains of life (spiritually, physically, financially, emotionally, and mentally). So I feel it's important to always continue growing myself in each area. It would be nice to find someone who feels the same way. One of the things that makes me smile is seeing little old couples who are still in love and affectionate with each other after years of being married together. I think it's so precious, and I truly hope to find my special someone on this site who I can grow old with. Could it be you?

I love being on the water, boating, scuba diving/snorkeling, fishing, paddleboarding; I love trying new restaurants, going to movies, professional sporting events, concerts/shows, barbecuing, cooking, hanging with friends/family, netflix, etc.

^Well, late 20's. He joined the Stargazer crew at 28 to be exact but I was referring (badly) to the switch to the Enterprise D. I'm sure he'll still be in his 20's.
The post you responded to mentions a young Picard in command of the Stargazer. That, a Kirk and Spock show or an animated series are about the only ideas I care about for bringing Trek back to TV.
That is so "GRRRR! Get OFF my lawn!"
Not to single you out or beat you up on this, but I never understood people who reject other incarnations of Trek, and only accept Kirk and crew from TOS as the one, true, only Trek, complaining that the following crews weren't the original characters but were pale imitations of them, but immediately glommed onto the Abrams reboot. Sure, it may be Kirk, Spock, Uhura, et al, but their characters are quite different than the original portrayals in TOS. The way they are portrayed, it might as well be a different crew altogether, really.
As to Trek returning to the small screen, you do realize that if Trek ever did return to TV in a live action format, and you want to limit it to Kirk and Crew, it would require yet another reboot, don't you?
And the likelihood of an animated or CGI Trek on the small screen is about as likely to happen as raining cats! Except for maybe the reboot movies, kids of today have zero exposure to Star Trek, and to them those 2 movies are just another summer blockbuster movie. They wouldn't care about a Trek cartoon.

Yeh but Picard in the Prime Universe is no Horatio Hornblower. He's the consumate diplomat and ruthless defender of the Prime Directive.
To be Hornblower or have a similar rise to captain I think he would need to be affected by the Prime Universe - a slightly different captain to the man we all know and love IMO.
If that were the case somehow seeing a young badass Picard withh Jack and Beverley Crusher (before kid) appeals to me.
I would be down with Picard in the prime universe too!
What I was referring to was the format and pace at which each season, and Picard's career, would take place VS the Hornblower miniseries, with reference to Picard's rise to the captaincy. Another example of pacing of Picard's career could be how the Tutors did it, where each season depicted a different stage (and marriage) of Henry VIII's life. Does that make sense now?
I was not necessarily comparing Picard to Hornblower, per se, because that is who Kirk is actually analogous to. However, I always thought of TNG era Picard as what Kirk would have been more like, had there been a Star Trek Phase 2, and I also think Picard was more Kirk-like, in his younger days.
I don't know about anyone else here, but since the episode Tapestry, I always thought it might be interesting to see Picard as a younger man, and as a junior officer, and to see how he rose to the rank of captain.

While Raffi Torres is making his much-anticipated return, the Phoenix Coyotes are probably hoping Mike Smith returns to form when he is back on the ice. Torres and Smith are both expected to play for the visiting Coyotes on Friday night when they try to hand the Dallas Stars a fifth straight loss in the opener of a home-and-home set. The last time Torres played, he delivered a brutal hit to Chicago's Marian Hossa in Game 3 of the first round of last year's playoffs. Torres was suspended 25 games for the incident, although the penalty was later cut to 21 games. While Torres will play for the first time since last year's playoffs, Smith will be back after missing four games with a lower-body injury. "It's gotten a lot better over the last few days, so I'm excited to get back in the lineup," Smith told the Coyotes' official website. "I'm ready." Smith has a 4.62 goals-against average this season. He was spectacular in last season's playoffs with a 1.99 GAA. The goalie had a rough...

The last time the two squads met was on Oct. 2, 1976. But this story begins one week earlier, in Columbus, Ohio.

Published: February 20, 2001
(Page 2 of 2)
The Southside Mission, like virtually all nonprofit agencies in the region, is handling only family petitions, which are generally cut-and-dried. Partly because of the extensive involvement required of employers, labor certifications, as the employment petitions are known, are complicated and often ambiguous. Catholic Charities tried to take on employment cases, along with family petitions, using one part-time labor lawyer. The available appointments filled within days.
''At a time like this lack of legal services is thrown into high relief,'' said Margie McHugh, executive director of the New York Immigrant Coalition, who warns immigrants to avoid ''notarios'' -- which means ''lawyer'' in Latin America but notary here -- as well as the travel and real estate agents who often take on multiple roles in Latino neighborhoods.
In New York City, with an estimated 500,000 illegal immigrants, there are only 30 immigration lawyers working at nonprofit agencies, Ms. McHugh said, adding that the ratio is even worse in the suburbs. The nonprofit agencies charge $200 to $1,000 to process a petition, Ms. McHugh said. Private lawyers, surveys show, charge about $2,000 for a family petition and $3,000 to $7,000 for a labor certification.
Experts agree that clause 245(i) is a more promising tool for those with qualifying relatives than it is for those with employers who may be reluctant to tackle the onerous paperwork or take on the risk, however remote, of being sanctioned by the I.N.S. or the Department of Labor for hiring illegal workers.
Just a birth certificate establishes a family connection to someone who is generally enthusiastic about petitioning. But employment cases, for unskilled and semiskilled laborers, are messy. There must be proof, via concerted advertising, that there are no Americans available for the job.
The position must be full time and at the prevailing wage, which means union scale in certain building trades, far more than what most illegal immigrants command. Then the job much be matched to another job that is listed in a two-volume Department of Labor compendium to determine its skill classification. Skilled jobs, like computer programmers or auto mechanics, have more visa slots and thus shorter waiting periods.
The documentation must come from the employer. A landscaper from Armonk, daunted by the seminar here, said he had one employee, out of dozens, he would apply for. Mr. Russell at Catholic Charities said the landscapers and construction workers in the suburbs had the worst chance because most employers considered them replaceable ''commodities.'' The best chance, he said, would be a small business, like a florist or a deli, where the worker and boss had a ''committed personal relationship.''
Close ties brought several women with trusted household help to the employers' seminar in Mount Kisco. They were told by Michael J. Boyle, a private lawyer who does labor certifications, that the wait for a visa for a nanny was now 10 years with the backlog of applications growing. A groan rose in the room.
But all is not lost, Mr. Boyle told the crowd. A family with sufficient resources and a certain set of needs could label the job of nanny as cook, which has virtually no waiting list. Or an employer might petition for a nanny and meet the April 30 deadline, thus giving a valued employee the ability to transfer the petition to a more favorable category, say spouse, if during the years of waiting the employee married a legal resident.
Experts say it is possible to submit a family petition without legal help, but not a labor certification. Mr. Boyle said there were rare employers willing to pay the expenses, usually wealthy professional families living in affluent areas like Westchester or Fairfield Counties, whose households might founder without the hired help.
Upgrading a job is perfectly legal, assuming an employer can prove need and pay the prevailing wage, an I.N.S. spokesman, Bill Strassberger, said. Also legal is using an immediate petition as a place-holder. If the hypothetical nanny who later married a legal resident had not filed before April 30, Mr. Strassberger noted, she would have to go to a foreign country after her marriage to apply and would be denied re-entry for 10 years. Thus the urgency to file a petition.
''My job is to make a way when there is no way,'' Mr. Berns said. ''I can't imagine a case that is absolutely, guaranteed a failure. Long-shot applications are very different than bogus ones. Unless the economy goes sour and people are lined up to cut lawns and burp babies.''
Photo: Philip E. Berns, in tie, an immigration lawyer, was deluged with questions about changes in the immigration law at a forum in Mount Kisco, N.Y., last week. Many people are confused about what the law entails. (George M. Gutierrez for The New York Times)(pg. B6)

First off I am never sarcastic, actually I'm sarcastic all the time, so you better have a good sense of humor and be able to take a joke cause I will probably have some smartass remark on our first date. Even though I might crack a joke towards you I still believe in being a gentlemen. I still think that us guys should be opening doors and paying for dinner, so I try my best to treat a girl how she should be treated. My job is a little unusual. I actually work with bees. Before you ask, Yes I do get stung and yes it does hurt. At times I can be crazy busy with work but when I do get time off it would be nice to have someone to go away for a few days with. I'm super competitive so if we ever go golfing or play any type of game I will not let you win but if we go bowling I am horrible, and I will lose. Its obvious why we're all here cause it is a dating site. I'm not meeting any female beekeepers at work so maybe I can find the next Mrs. Beekeeper on this site. If your interested feel free to wink or message me but if your not then best of luck.
Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing sports
Baseball, Basketball, Golf
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Dogs
I have a female yellow lab named Carrie
Middle of the Road
Any place that has water and I can have a drink in my hand. Preferably Hawaii or a tropical island but I would settle for the river.
I like all kinds of music but I grew up on country and that is mostly what you will hear on my radio. My favorite show is Friends but I also like Entourage, How I Met Your Mother and many others.
When I'm not out of town for work I like to golf, go out with friends and sometimes after a long day of work it is fun just to be lazy.
