This invention relates to a multiple dosage injection device, and more particularly to a multiple dosage injection gun especially adapted for the successive injection of flowable therapeutic or nutritional compositions into a plurality of domestic animals.
In the practice of modern commercial animal husbandry, it is frequently found necessary to administer accurate dosages of therapeutic and nutritional compositions to large groups of domestic animals, such as cattle, swine, sheep, etc. Many of these compositions must be parenterally administered to the animals being treated. Single dosage injection devices are not feasible for this purpose due to the great expense involved and also because of the variation in dosages which may be required by any individual animal as may be determined by the skilled worker upon examination of the animal being treated. Furthermore, many of the different compositions employed for these purposes require different dosages thereof to be administered.
Heretofore, devices capable of parenterally administering multiple dosages of owable therapeutic or nutritional compositions have been employed without completely solving the problems faced. For example, the de- Vices -heretofore employed have been of unwieldy and expensive construction; have not been sufficiently versatile in accommodating all the compositions employed in the veterinary field; and have not been suiciently accurate in the dispensing of the compositions 'here envisaged. All these devices employ a replaceable cartridge containing a reservoir of flowable therapeutic composition having a movable plunger means at one end, which when advanced longitudinally, dispenses the composition from the other end thereof. A primary object of this invention is to provide a substantially improved dispensing device particularly adapted for dispensing the llowable therapeutic and nutritional compositions contained in such cartridges and injecting them into animals in successive, accurate and variable doses.
Further objects of the present invention are to provide a dispensing device which is conveniently, easily and rapidly adjustable as to the amount of each dose dispemed; to provide a dispensing device capable of dis- 3,517,668 Patented June 30, 1970 pensing successive, accurate doses of the ilowable therapeutic or nutritional compositions without oozing of the compositions from the device between dispensing cycles; to provide a dispensing device of the foregoing character which is relatively simple and inexpensive in construction; and to provide an improved dispensing device of the above character adapted to receive a replaceable cartridge containing a multiple dosage quantity of the composition to be dispensed and in which the cartridges are readily and quickly replaceable as may be determined upon visual examination of the improved injection device. l
Other and further objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from a further reading of the following specification and the detailed description set forth therein.
One general embodiment of the present invention cornprises a dispensing gun including a cartridge receiving barrel, a plunger means adapted to be advanced in a cartridge received in said lbarrel, intermittently operable trigger actuated mechanism to impose dispensing force on said plunger means to advance it in said cartridge, a variable annular stop means which controls and arrests the distance of forward advance of said trigger actuated means thereby controlling the forward advance of said plunger means after advancement thereof by said trigger actuated mechanism even after disengagement and retraction of said trigger actuated mechanism from said plunger means to prevent retraction of said plunger means after advancement thereof by said trigger actuated mechanism, even after disengagement and retraction of said trigger actuated mechanism from said plunger means.
' The full nature of the invention will be understood from the accompanying drawings and the following de'- scription and claims.
FIG. l is a vertical longitudinal section of a dispensing gun embodying the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a rear elevation of the annular stop member forming part of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is side elevation along line AA, of a rotatable annular stop member of FIG. 2, and forming part of FIG. 1.
For the purpose of promoting an understanding of the principles of the invention, references will now be made to the embodiment illustrated in the drawing and specific language will be used to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the invention is thereby intended,v such alterations and further modifications in the illustrated device, and such further applications of the principles of the invention as illustrated therein being contemplated as would normally occur to one .skilled in the art to which the invention relates.
Referring now more particularly to the drawings, there is illustrated a dispensing gun which has a downwardly extending grip 10, and a forwardly extending barrel 11,
having a cylindrical member 12, and a removable cap 13 mounted thereon. The manner of mounting the can 13 is within the purview of the knowledge of the skilled worker and can be accomplished for example, by a bayonet type coupling or a screw thread arrangement, as is seen lit.
At the forward end of the cap '13 there is mounting means 14 and an opening 15, for accepting and securing a double ended hypodermic needle 16, one end of which 17 communicates with the interior portion of the barrel 11. lt has been found that the most efficient manner 0f securing said hypodermic needle 16 is by a screw thread mounting means 14, although other means may also satisfactorily fbe employed by the skilled worker.
A plunger means 18, is mounted for longitudinal movement within the barrel 11 by means of fixed guide members '19 and 20 which may be preformed in the manufacture of the barrel 11 or securely attached therein by any means practical, for example, by bolts.
A lever is pivotally mounted upon the grip 10 at pin 26. The lever 25 has a long lever arm 27 positioned for manual squeezing into the body of the grip 10, and a short lever arm 2'8, which projects upward into the barrel 11. A driving pawl 29 is permanently, pivotally mounted at 30 Within the upper end of the lever 25, and is urged into engagement with the teeth of rack 23 on the plunger means 18 by means of a compression spring 31 seated in a depression 32 within the lever 25, directly below the underside of the pivotally mounted driving pawl 29. The teeth of rack 23 are equally spaced and are so constructed as to face rearward in the direction away from the cap 13. The spring 31 is mounted in such a manner as to maintain continual upward pressure against the underside of pawl 29, thereby keeping the said pawl 29, in continual contact with the plunger means 1'8, and always in position for engagement with the surfaces thereof.
To the rear of driving pawl 29, and in a horizontal plane therewith a smaller holding pawl 33 is permanently, pivotally mounted within the barrel 11 with a pivotal pin means 3'4. The holding pawl 33 is maintained in the same horizontal plane as driving pawl 29 by means of a compression spring 35, seated in a depression 36 within the internal body of the barrel 11. This compression spring is mounted in such a manner as to exert continual upward pressure against the underside of holding pawl 33, thereby urging said pawl 33 into continual contact with the surface of plunger means 18.
The long lever arm 27 of the lever 25 is yieldably held forwardly in the position shown in FIG. 1 by means of a compression spring 37 received within holding bores 38 and 39 in the lever and grip wall respectively, whereby the short lever arm 28 is yieldably held in contact with the surface of interior wall of the grip 10. Mounted forward of the driving pawl 29 is a rotatable annular stop member 40, which is more fully detailed in FIGS. 2 and 3.
Referring now to FIGS. 2 and 3, the rotatable annular stop member `40 is comprised of a cylindrical body 41 having an axially oriented means 42 for being rotatably mounted within the barrel 11, for example by a pin extension or bolt providing the axis about which the annular stop member may be rotated. yOn the posterior surface 43 of said cylindrical body 41, which surface is always mounted facing the driving pawl 29, are circumferentially constructed rigid non-yielding projections 44 of various lengths. As shown in the drawings, the annular stop member may be constructed with a preformed pin means 47, which may then be rotatably mounted in a preformed depression 4-8 within the gun body. The annular stop means 40 is so mounted in the gun body that the outer periphery thereof extends slightly beyond the outer surface of the gun body, as by the presence of an aperture therein for such purpose on either side thereof. The periphery of the stop member may be adapted for manual rotation by the gun operator, as can be easily perceived by the skilled worker. Although this feature is not here shown, the skilled worker can easily apply the foregoing teachings in accordance with his desires. yReturning now to FIG. l, the annular stop member 40 is rotatablymounted within the interior of the gun body in such a manner as to be manually rotatable by the operator from the exterior surface of the gun. The annular stop member is preferably constructed in such a manner as to have around its interior surface a plurality of apertures 49 equidistant from the rotation axis of the stop member 40, and positioned in such a manner as to provide proper positioning thereof, as will be further explained. 'Upon mounting Within the gun, the annular stop members rotation may be controlled by a ball 45 and a compression spring 46, whereby the stop member is freely rotatable until the lball 45 is urged into the aperture 49 as they become aligned. The annular stop member 40 is designed and mounted in such a manner as to present one of the variable length projections 44 directly in line with the forward horizontal plane of movement of driving pawl 29. Thus, the projection 44 actually becomes a stop member controlling the line of forward travel of the driving pawl 29, by coming into Contact with the forward surface of said driving pawl 29 and preventing further forward movement thereof. :It is of course obvious, that the skilled worker may provide an annular stop mem-ber with projections of variable lengths to control the distance of forward travel of said driving pawl 29, as Vwill be more fully discussed hereinafter. The variation in the length of these projections act to control the dosage of the composition being dispensed from the injection device. Generally speaking, it has been found satisfactory to dispense dosages of from about 0.5 cc. to about 5.0 cc. of the compositions here sought to be employed. These compositions may be antibiotics, vitamins, steroids and other like therapeutic or nutritional compositions usually employed for such purposes.
Thus, one limit of the travel of the lever 25 is the engagement of the rear surface 42 of the short lever arm 28, with the interior surface `60 of the grip 10, and the other limit of travel is the engagement of the forward surface 54 of the driving pawl 29, with the surface of the variable length projection 44 of the annular stop member 40. The spacing of these two limiting surfaces may be easily controlled in manufacture thus making possible a controlled length of forward driving pawl 29 travel. More particularly, in actual operation of the gun by the operator, the length of the driving pawls forward travel and thus the dosage, is controlled by the rotation of the annular stop member 40, and the length of the arresting projection placed in the line of travel of and caused to come into contact with the driving pawl 29.
The plunger means 18 includes a generally cylindrical body 21 having a plurality of teeth 23 thereon. The plunger means 18, further includes a ball 24 xed to the extending end of the plunger and facilitating withdrawal of the'V plunger means when desired. In order to withdraw the plunger means, it is rotated until the pawls 29 and 33 no longer engage the teeth 23. The plunger is then free to be fully retracted, until further retraction is halted by engagement thereof with guide member 19.
In order to more fully and clearly describe the instant invention and the operation thereof the following detailed description of the operation of the injection device by the operator is set forth:
Initially, the operator will rotate the plunger means 18, by manipulation of ball 24, until the pawls 29 and 33 no longer engage teeth 23, and the plunger 18 will then be withdrawn its full length. Cap 13 will then be removed and a filled cartridge 50, containing a owable therapeutic composition will be inserted in the barrel 11; the cartridge being of the type ordinarily employable for the purposes here envisaged, for example the cartridge disclosed in prior led U.S. Pat. application 639,193, filed May 17, 1967 in the names of William L. Brickson and Henry Tamagni may be thus employed. The cap 13 having securely mounted thereon a double ended hypodermic needle 16 is then securely remounted on the gun, thus causing the inner needle 17 to pierce the cap 51 of the cartridge 50. The plunger means 18, on which is now seated the slidable plunger 52 of the cartridge 50 is rotated by means of manipulation of the ball 24 until the pawls 29 and 33 are in full contact with the teeth 23. The amount of each dose to be dispensed is pre-set by rotating the annular stop member 40 to the proper predetermined setting so as to place the proper pawl arresting projection 44 in line of travel of the forward surface 54 of driving pawl 29. The gun is now loaded and ready for parenterally dispensing a plurality of measured, accurate doses to the animals sought to be treated.
The dispensing end of needle 16 is inserted in to the animal sought to be treated. The operator then squeezes the lever 27 which causes the driving pawl 29 to engage the rack 23 and to drive the plunger means 18 forwardly, causing the stopper 52 to move forwardly and Yforce the owable therapeutic composition 55 throughthe needle 16. The drivingpawl 29 will thus travel forwardly until its forward surface 54 engages the arresting surface of the arresting projection 44 of the annular stop member 40. By adjusting the forwardly travel of the ,driving pawl 29, by rotation of the annular stop member 40, the amount of the owable composition dispensedfor given squeeze can be accurately adjusted. While the" driving pawl 29 is forwardly advanced, the holding pawl 33 remains stationary in continual frictional engagement With the teeth 23 of the plunger 18. As the plunger 18 is forwardly advanced by the driving pawl Z9, the" teeth 23, which face rearwardly, ride over holding pawl 33. However, as each tooth passes, it is prevented from retracting by being opposed by the non-yielding holding pawl 33, which is continually held engaged to said teeth 23 by compressed spring 35. Thus, in the event of back pressure buildup in the cartridge due to continued dispensing of successive doses, or upon retraction of the driving pawl 29 in preparation for the dispensing of a successive dose, the plunger means 18 is held stationary by the holding pawl 33, causing the full accurate* ldose to be dispensed through the needle 16. The forward motion of the driving pawl 29 is limited by its engagement with the arresting surface of the arresting projection of the rotatable annular stop member. In order to prepare for dispensing successive doses of the therapeutic composition from the gun, the pressure on the longer lever arm 27 is released, compressed spring 37 returns said lever arm 27 to its original position thus retracting driving pawl 29 into position for dispensing a successive dose, while holding pawl 33 prevents any retraction of the plunger 18. The dispensing needle 16 is withdrawn from the animal being treated after the entire dose is administered, and is then injected into a successive animal for administration of a subsequent dose as described above.
The material employed in the construction of the multiple dosage injection device may be such as desired by the skilled worker. However, it has been found most preferable to have the body, barrel, lever arm and annular stop member constructed of heavy duty light weight plastic material and the plunger and pawls constructed of durable, light weight metal for example, aluminum alloys. More particularly, it has been found most preferable to employ transparent plastic for the body and barrel of the gun, to allow the operator to visually check the operation of the gun. However, other materials are also satisfactory for the purposes and results here set forth as may be determined by the skilled worker.
It will be evident from the above description that the present invention provides an improved dispensing device which is particularly adapted for dispensing the contents of replaceable multiple shot cartridges in an accurate and non-wasteful manner. It will also be evident that the present invention provides a dispensing device which is conveniently, easily and rapidly adjustable as to the amount of each dose dispensed. It should be understood that the amount of each dose can be controlled not only by rotating the annular rotatable stop member, but also by changing the cartridge size. Thus, for example, ve different stop projections plus ve cartridge sizes could provide twenty-live different dosage levels. It will further be evident that the present invention provides a dispensing device of the above character which is relatively inexpensive and simple in construction.
While the invention has been illustrated and described in detail in the drawings and foregoing description, the same is to be considered as illustrative and notirhestrictive in character, it being understood that only thefpreferred embodiment has been shown and described and that all changes and modifications that come within the spirit of the invention and the scope of the claims are also desired to be protected.

This is because the charging of tuition and fees is still incomplete.
tuition and fees vary campus to campus, but all are reasonable even for out-of-state applicants.
tuition and board at the school, which includes a building designed by I.M. Pei, cost more than $45,000 per year.
mid-15c., "protection, care, custody," from Anglo-French tuycioun (late 13c.), from Old French tuicion "guardianship," from Latin tuitionem (nominative tuitio) "a looking after, defense, guardianship," from tuitus, past participle of tueri "to look after" (see tutor). Meaning "action or business of teaching pupils" is recorded from 1580s. The meaning "money paid for instruction" (1828) is probably short for tuition fees, in which tuition refers to the act of teaching and instruction.

[Note: Since this was posted ISTE has made some changes to the good. More details in a comment by Miguel Guhlin below and on his blog.]
NECC is the largest educational technology conference in the world. It's huge. There are thousands of educators who attend every year. So many people attend that there are only a few conference venues large enough to handle it. But in spite of that a lot of teachers and other educators who want to attend can not. In fact my wife would would love to attend can't make it this year. We'll try again next year when it will be closer and travel costs will be less. Like many districts hers will pay some of the costs but much of it falls to the educator to pay out of pocket.
But here is the thing. Over the last two years recording sessions at education conferences has become more and more common. Yes, you may have thought that only rock concerts were targets for bootleg recordings but no! People show up with microphones and recording devices for podcasts. Or they show up with digital video cameras or even webcams for live streaming. Back channels using instant message clients or Twitter allow people viewing remotely from anywhere in the world to have questions relayed in real time to presenters. The conference presentation room has opened globally. A lot of people participate in conferences this way and get a lot of value out of it.
Some conference organizers have welcomed this trend. This has especially been the case for smaller events with limited space but even some larger ones have welcomed the opportunity to share the knowledge. There are after all a lot more (and some would argue better) reasons to attend conferences than "just" the presentations. The chance to have people view the content and see what goes on at a conference is often a real incentive to find a way to attend in person in the future. ISTE, the people who run NECC, have not gone that way though.
With about a week to go before NECC opens, Wes Fryer has posted a warning about ISTE's rules for podcasting at NECC. The short version is that there will be no podcasting or live streaming without prior written permission from both the presenter and ISTE. Out of common courtesy people ask presenters before recording of course. But getting permission from the conference organizers is a larger hurtle to the sort of information thing that has become typical. This rule would appear to totally close out the sort of thing that a lot of people were planning on to let them get value from NECC without actually being there. Wes is not the only one who is upset.
Christian Long is talking about staying away from NECC on general principle and urging others to do the same. Miguel Guhlin is saying he regrets helping ISTE with this year's event and that he will not attend or present in 2009 unless the rules are changed. And this has been a big topic of discussion in Twitter in the last 24 hours as well.
I'm sure ISTE thinks, possibly correctly, that most people at NECC will be unaware of the rule and of the controversy. Unfortunately the people most effected by this rule are the leaders in web 2.0 and using online technology for education. Exactly the sort of people that really need to be at NECC to share what they are doing with those people who are blissfully unaware of what they are missing. I see this rule being short sighted on ISTE's part.
It looks like podcasting will still be able to go on at informal events that are being organized in semi-public and public spaces. That's a good thing. EduBloggerCon, which I have to miss because of a conflict, should be interesting with the discussions that will take place online as well as in person. I'll be watching on Twitter as much as I can. And NECC Unplugged already has an interesting schedule most of which will probably find its way onto the web. It will not be a total loss for people who can't make it to NECC in person.
Oh and if you are wondering why else to attend NECC besides the sessions and workshops?
Being there virtually is great. It is wonderful. But to me it compares to being there the way eating food at a fine restaurant compares to watching the chef prepare the food on TV. I really hope that ISTE doesn't mess up a good thing by getting too hung up on control.
BTW a plug. Over the last several years Microsoft has sponsored/hosted a number of educational conferences. At most of the ones I have been involved in, including the annual game development in computer science education ones, the sessions have been professionally recorded and made available though the Faculty Connection or on DVDs for free (as in no cost to educators.) Let me know if you have trouble finding them. It's hard to do live streaming from a cruise ship but I don't think we've told people they couldn't.
ALfred, howdy! Please be aware that ISTE has responded. I've posted a copy of the response--linked--on my blog with this post:
In short, they've changed their policy to enable audio/video recording for noncommercial use with written presenter permission. This is not an unreasonable perspective--it's what we expect in my school district, as well as other places--and I'm grateful that ISTE listened to its members and made the change in policy.
More importantly, ISTE will be convening a discussion for NECC 2009 to involve membership in discussing these issues. Leslie Connery and Don Knezek represent the leadership I wish other conferences would aspire to because some conferences seek to ban blogging, tagging (e.g. a common blog tag), and podcasting. How do I know? I've been on the receiving end of these bans in Texas by one state organization. And while I dearly appreciate the members of that organization, a few obsolete ways of thinking need to change. Why should it take 10 years to make those changes?
Thanks for offering the opportunity to have this discussion.
With appreciation,
Miguel Guhlin

It is a shame that we are being required to choose between EduBloggerCon and CS/TA. Can we put pressure on the ACM folks so that this doesn't happen again next year? Unfortunately, my staff feels that EduBloggerCon is of more realizable value than CS/TA, especially with our short-sighted decision to nix starting an independent CS department, so for the first time in 3 years I will miss CS/TA :( -- an event that I have grown to very much enjoy your presence at, among other things.
At least we can record parts of NECC again....
Honestly either the day before or the day after NECC is going to be a problem for someone. I agree that it is a shame that CS&IT conflicts with Edubloggercon as I really enjoyed both last year. I will bring it up with the CSTA people today.

Prowling into semis
Panthers pry win away from Bears in third try this season
PORTLAND - Surprising Aransas Pass is headed back to the Region IV-3A tournament for the second time in three years much to the chagrin of state-ranked West Oso.
The Panthers boys basketball team needed a second-half comeback against the 11th-ranked Bears to do so Tuesday night and that's what they got, as they used a decisive third-quarter run to take the lead before holding off their rivals, 48-47 in a Region IV-3A quarterfinal game at Gregory-Portland High School.
The District 30-3A third place Panthers (21-17 overall) advance to play District 28-3A champion Hondo in the Region IV-3A semifinals Friday at 6 p.m. at Texas A&M-Kingsville's Steinke Physical Education Center. Hondo beat District 26-3A champion San Antonio West Campus on a last-second shot in its regional quarterfinal game Tuesday.
"This means a lot to us - I think we're surprising a lot of people this season," Aransas Pass coach Glen Hayes said. "After losing our first playoff game last year, we're unranked this year and here we are beating state-ranked teams to go to the regional tournament. So, I think we're playing our best basketball right now."
"Nobody expected us to be here," said Aransas Pass senior swingman Brandon Garcia, who injured one of his fingers on his right hand before the game when he accidentally hit it on a teammate's head during a drill. "(Our seniors) didn't win a game in the eighth grade, and now we're going to the regional tournament - (the feeling is) indescribable."
District 30-3A champion West Oso (21-11) had won the two previous district meetings between the teams this season but unlike the other two games, the Panthers turned the tables on the Bears in the second half by erasing a five-point halftime deficit.
"They played a great game," West Oso coach Floyd Campbell said of Aransas Pass. "In the playoffs you have to do so many of the little things right, and we got close tonight but they're just playing really good basketball right now."
Panthers senior post Shannon Johnson had 16 of his game-high 20 points in the second half, and he and Garcia combined for 16 points in the decisive third quarter. Johnson and senior post Cody Hall also combined for 16 rebounds for Aransas Pass.
Garcia tallied nine of his 19 points in the second quarter, and he had all three of his team's 3-pointers in the game.
West Oso sophomore post Paul Woods scored 17 of his team-high 19 points in the first half and finished with seven rebounds, while Bears junior guard Gene Edwards scored all 11 of his points in the second half and had three of West Oso's four 3-pointers.
Aransas Pass erased the five-point halftime deficit as it outscored West Oso 16-10 in the third quarter to take a 39-38 lead. Garcia gave the Panthers their first lead of the game during that run with a reverse layup with 53 seconds remaining in the third quarter.
Johnson scored the first four points of the fourth quarter, before West Oso answered with a 4-0 run - thanks to a layup by senior post Antuanne Vurns and a putback by freshman forward Xavier Johnson - to climb within 43-42 with 4:50 remaining in the game.
Hall's jumper in the lane - after he received a nice pass from Garcia - and Johnson's layup briefly extended the Panthers' lead to five, before Edwards made a 3-pointer on the next possession to bring the Bears within 47-45.
Johnson made a free throw, before Edwards countered with a driving bank shot to cut Aransas Pass' lead back to one with 1:39 remaining in the game.
West Oso had one final chance, but the Bears turned it over in the final seconds and the Panthers were able to hang on from there.
The two teams have combined to go to the Class 3A state tournament seven of the past eight years.
"I hope Aransas Pass not only goes to the state tournament this year, but that they win it this time," Campbell said of the Panthers, who have reached the state semifinals four times in the past eight years.

Jordan king says Arabs need real reforms in addition to peace process
Jordan's King Abdullah II on Thursday reiterated the importance of homegrown reform and the necessity of reform to reflect public priorities and concerns. The King added, in a speech in front of participants at the World Economic Forum Asia Roundtable in Singapore, that ''Regional Leaders from the private sector and NGOs are already meeting to define a new regional vision, a vision for the Arab World in the year 2010''.
According to Petra, he noted to the Asian reform model especially the Malaysian model, which Jordan seeks to benefit from, that succeeded in creating a platform for growth in the various fields.
''Peacemaking is a step toward a regional future of hope. but it is only one step. The Arab people also know we need reform-political, economic, and social. Such reform will revitalize the engines of growth and promote real development,'' the King said, stressing the need of a true partnership between the public and private sectors.
About 600 political, economic and media international figures are taking part in the meeting with a view to exchange ideas on the political and economic development issues and discussing the strategic dimensions of the economic growth for Asian countries.
The meeting, which is being organized, in cooperation with Singaporean Council for Economic Development, is considered on of the important meetings which emerged from the World Economic Forum in addition to the Forum's Dead Sea meetings.

The Berkeley Charleston Dorchester (BCD) Council of Governments announced that it will be holding a public workshop to gather input on a Corridor Management Plan for the Riverland Drive Scenic Byway on James Island.
Riverland Drive was designated a scenic byway by the South Carolina Scenic Highways Committee in 1988. The BCD Council of Governments is leading a community-based initiative to prepare a Corridor Management Plan for the Riverland Drive Scenic Byway. A Corridor Management Plan (CMP) is a written plan developed by the surrounding community that sets forth its goals, vision and strategies for preserving and promoting a scenic byway in the future.
Specifically, the Riverland Corridor Management Plan (CMP) will guide how to preserve, protect and enhance the byways character and assets that define the corridor. It will address issues such as the preserving natural and historic resources, promoting sustainable growth practices, roadway safety and expanding recreational opportunities.
The study is being funded through a grant from the Federal Highway Administration Scenic Byways Program.
This fourth and final community workshop will be held on Monday, Aug. 18 from 5:30-7 p.m. at the Lowcountry Senior Center, located at 865 Riverland Drive on James Island. Residents and property owners are encouraged to attend the public meeting to provide input and comment on the draft plan recommendations and action projects identified to help preserve and enhance the scenic byway corridor over the next 10 to 15 years.

Please feel free to contact me. If you read on, you will find.) Thumper is the chunky bunny in the movie Bambi. But, some of my friends call me that not because of my zodiac sign is the rabbit, but because of an incident back in college. As usual, I was nodding off during a class. Then all of a sudden, my head whacked the desk hard making a very loud "thump" sound -_-;; Since then... Despite that little incident, I am usually not that goofy. Well, there was another time... A few years ago, some important overseas clients visited my work. We took them to House of Prime Rib in San Francisco. There, I walked right into a window, head first. This happened in the lounge area, front of everyone. Fortunately, the battle between the window and my head ended up in a draw. All these head thumping cannot be good. But, I digress. Anyhow, I am quiet and reserved. However, once I become close to someone, I do open up considerably. I am pretty down to earth and I enjoy the simple things in life.

LAWRENCEVILLE -- When Gwinnett business and civic leaders began forging a working relationship with an Asian district five years ago, few residents outside the Korean community had heard of the locale.
But now, with more than 160 million YouTube views, Gwinnett's sister city has become a national phenomenon, with kids clamoring to dance "Gangnam Style."
The Korean pop song featuring the name of the wealthy Seoul borough has turned up all over, with singer PSY teaching Britney Spears his famous dance on the Ellen Degeneres Show and making appearances on MTV's Video Music Awards and "Good Morning America."
Nick Masino, the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce vice president who helped build the sister-city partnership, first signed in 2009 and re-signed last year, said his economic development team spotted the video a few weeks ago and have been excited to see the response.
"It's very catchy," said James Song, a Korean immigrant who helped the Gwinnett Chamber with the sister-city agreement. Song is the vice president of the Korean American Chamber of Commerce and serves on the Gwinnett Place Community Improvement District board.He said the video has helped local people who make calls to Korean businesses relate a little bit better.
"I'm glad 'Gangnam Style' came out," he said. "It does really help out with communications. Now, they know what Gangnam is, and that's a good thing."

Otto Penzler's massive new crime anthology collects 1,168 pages of dangerous dames, nasty men, scuzzy loan sharks, and dubious red herrings. These forty-seven stories and two novels trace the evolution of crime fiction in the twenties, thirties, and forties as it was propagated by unknowns and anointed kingpins like Raymond Chandler, James M. Cain, and Dashiell Hammett. Sure, some of the tales are painfully dated, but others (like Hammett's "The Creeping Siamese") will surprise you with their dogma-bashing street smarts and stone-dry wit.

Two Whitman College students remained hospitalized this morning following a collision Friday near Boardman.
Lindsey Jacobs, 18, and Katie Radosevic, 18, were being treated at Legacy Emanuel Hospital in Portland after the Lexus sport utility vehicle they were passengers in was struck by a truck on Highway 730.
Jacobs was in critical condition this morning, while Radosevic was listed in serious condition, a hospital spokeswoman said.
The collision occurred about 2:38 p.m. Friday about a mile east of Interstate 84 when the sport utility vehicle, driven by Margaret Allen, 20, attempted to make a u-turn on Highway 730 to head west. As she attempted the turn, she was struck by a truck driven by Dick Martin, 47, of Hermiston, according to the Oregon State Police.
Allen and another passenger, Khoa Nguyen, 20, suffered minor injuries. Allen and Nguyen are also students at Whitman.
Radosevic and Jacobs, meanwhile, had to be extricated from the vehicle, according to the OSP. They were first taken to Good Shephard Hospital in Hermiston before being flown to Legacy Emanuel.
Martin was not injured.

Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
Alexis is a true professional. She is able to leverage her years of experience effectively and efficiently to guide you to vendors, ideas and project management that allow you to create "your day" to perfection. As a "control enthusiast" myself, I willingly allowed myself to be led and consulted through the wedding planning process that Alexis made so easy, effortless and fun! Our guests raved about both events and the days were so carefree for me to spend with my groom, family and guests all because of Alexis' help.
Alexis was incredible! We could not have done the planning without her. She was even keeled and calm and always had great suggestions. She was incredibly well organized and thought of things that I would never had thought of. Because of Alexis I was able to just enjoy my daughter's wedding on the actual date without worrying about everything being coordinated. It all went flawlessly! I would highly recommend her.
I would highly recommend Unique Weddings by Alexis for your next event! Working with Alexis made the entire wedding planning process seamless and as stress-free as possible. She and her team were such professionals and extremely responsive to all requests. They completely understood our vision and really were instrumental in making our wedding the most perfect evening we could have imagined. She interfaced with our vendors with professionalism, was exceptionally organized and made our wedding flow as smoothly as we could have hoped for! Specifically, she made our lives so much easier by managing all rentals (linens, chairs, etc), creating a detailed wedding day timeline that she shared with our vendors, and worked closely with our venue contact throughout the process. Overall, she made the process so enjoyable for both ourselves and our families!
I could not have asked for a more perfect wedding and Alexis, Megan and Sam made this come true. She and her team were wonderful to work with, and made sure that I was on top of all the deadlines I needed to meet. Alexis found wonderful vendors and made sure that on the day of everything ran according to plan. I am definitely not the most organized bride in the world and she was spot on in every way, making sure that the T's were crossed and the i's dotted. On the actual wedding day she and her team were everywhere at once, allowing for me to fully enjoy the wedding day. If you're looking for someone who knows how to plan, run and execute an event she is your gal!
We can't thank Alexis and her team enough for everything they did for our two day event. Throughout the past year Alexis has been on top of everything and handling every issue (no matter how big or small). Because of all her incredible dedication and hard work we had a wedding that was beyond our wildest dreams (both in terms of beauty, fun and organization!). One of my favorite memories was after my family and I had checked into the hotel on Friday and I was getting my hair and makeup done. My parents were sitting in the living room of the Presidential Suite as our extended family and friends came and visited and hung out. This was all due to the fact that her team was running around the Hyatt making sure everything was in place for our Friday night welcome dinner. I can't tell you how many people came up to me and remarked at how relaxed everyone in our family looked and that really was due to Alexis. Her entire team was constantly working and running around and yet were always professional, calm and pleasant.
Indian weddings are huge multi day multi event affairs that require alot of attention to detail and strict timelines in order to go well. Alexis knew how to approach every event and her vendor recommendations were really the best of the best. Not only will you love working with her your vendors love working with her too because she's so organized! On top of that her ability to review contracts to ensure that everything you need is included will save you so many headaches and money. We saved probably tens of thousands of dollars because of Alexis' foresight and contract review.
People can't stop saying how it was the best wedding they had ever attended and how everything was on time which you rarely see for an Indian wedding. Choosing Alexis as our planner was the best decision we could have made!
I don't even know where to start! After one year of working with Chelsea to plan our wedding, it seems odd now that we're not e-mailing back and forth anymore at all hours of the night trying to make every last detail both perfect and memorable. Unique Weddings by Alexis beyond exceeded our expectations for our special day and we don't know (nor do we want to know) where we would have been without them. They were with us every step of the away and even two steps a head! Thank you both for everything that you did for us - we already miss you!
If you're planing a wedding and not using Unique Weddings by Alexis then you don't know what you're missing!
Review for Alexis O'Mara
Alexis was either able to provide personally with her professional staffers or was able to outsource the task efficiently and effectively from start to finish. Alexis exceeded my expectations in every possible way for my daughter's wedding and I cannot provide enough praise for her amazing ability to coordinate the events. Her knowledge and experience is invaluable and she recommends only the most trusted and dependable vendors as her lists are stellar. Her office is impeccable and her calm yet educated and supportive demeanor is a rock in the midst of swirls of e-mails and phone calls and lists. She handles every detail with calm and wise decision making and is attentive to every detail. With Alexis at your side, you simply cannot have a perfect event.
Alexis and her incredible team of interns are truly the best of the best! I could never even hope to put into words all that her team did for my wedding and for my mom and I, but I will certainly try! We hired Alexis pretty early on in our planning process, as we realized we just didn't have a clue what to do! And boy was that the BEST THING we ever did! (Seriously, my mom and I talk about this simple fact all the time, and we couldn't be more pleased or assured that Alexis was hands-down the best decision we made when it came to the wedding!).
Alexis is such a professional - she is trustworthy, a diligent and dedicated worker (truly, she will respond to emails up until 2AM if she has to!! I don't know how she does it all!!!), devoted to her clients (there's nothing too small or too big to ask Alexis to do - and she'll put all her energy into achieving whatever it is you need). She has a full network of the BEST vendors to work with - all you have to do is ask Alexis who to use for make-up, hair, music, cake, lighting, tent, travel, stationery, - you name it! - and Alexis will happily provide you a list of vendors that fit the bill along with her personal notes about each one. Life as a bride-to-be can't be any easier when using Alexis and her team to help you plan the big day.
I cannot say this enough - you'd be a fool not to have Alexis on your team. No bride should be without an Alexis - she is far too valuable and worth every single dime!!! My mom and I were able to enjoy the whole weekend without a care in the world, since we knew Alexis and her team were there to keep the vendors on schedule and keep the night running smoothly. I would recommend Alexis to everyone I know - and will continue to advocate her services for years and years to come!
Alexis was wonderful from start to finish in our wedding planning process. The consummate professional and the very definition of organized, Alexis translated our vision into an event that surpassed our wildest expectations! She handles every detail and "big picture" concern with aplomb and ease! We couldn't have been happier with our experience from our first consultative meeting to the big day!
This review is posted by the Father of the Bride. It seems to be the unanimous opinion of everyone who was at the wedding that it was the best wedding they'd ever been to … and that includes the opinion of several relatively high-flying parents of friends of the bride and groom … also my (non-high-flying) opinion too. This was a complex event in a challenging venue (the Boston Public Library, where everything from chairs to lighting has to be brought in) with a great many moving parts; the absolutely flawless execution of it was a really amazing achievement. Thanks to Alexis, my daughter's special day was perfect in every way.
Working with Alexis was an absolute pleasure from the start. We hired her to plan our 185-person wedding at the Boston Public Library about 15 months before the wedding date. Even that far before the wedding date, she was responsive and helpful, helping us lock down some of the best vendors in the Boston area through providing a list of vendors and setting up interviews. One of the greatest things about Alexis and her team was the apparent "never say no" policy -- they made my wildest dreams come true at a not-so-cut-and-dry venue and pulled it off without a hitch. This never say no policy included stringing up festoon lights in a space that every vendor except one said was unsuitable for such lights, putting together blow-your-mind hotel welcome bags and ensuring through repeated 'harassment' of hotel staff that they were delivered, allowing my brother to sing with the wedding band, and assisting in pulling together a last minute at-home ceremony for my terminally-ill mother (though this never actually happened as my mother passed before we could pull it off, Alexis was there every step of the way helping us out).
I consider Alexis to be an extraordinary value -- in fact, I think she should charge more for her services because she devoted such an exceptional amount of time to our wedding for a very reasonable price. And the end result? Worthy of a movie, as some guests said, or a fairy tale, as others did -- completely mind-blowing.
I had a custom package with Alexis. I had booked many vendors already but, because we were having an all day event and a VERY LARGE multi-cultural wedding and reception, I needed someone to help manage the rentals and transportation, design the large reception space, keep track of all the vendors and details, and make sure I didn't forget anything leading up to the wedding. Alexis and her team were very professional and responsive. I mostly communicated with them via email but we also met many times in person.
Alexis and her team were indispensable on the day of the wedding. We changed the wedding ceremony to a full Catholic mass a week or two before the wedding so of course things ran late, but UWbA was able to communicate with the other vendors to extend their hours and had everything run smoothly. I absolutely believe everything would have fallen apart without UWbA. Instead I didn't have to stress on the wedding day and was able to enjoy it. The peace of mind, knowing I can go off and dance with my guests while Alexis and her team took care of everything, is truly priceless.
Alexis is the Goddess of Event Planning!! She made absolutely everything seamless and was a pleasure to work with. I wish she did events other than weddings so that I could use her services again. There wasn't a single detail overlooked, no matter how small. She anticipated every possible issue and dealt with them decisively and diplomatically. Anybody who passes up the opportunity to use her to coordinate their wedding is crazy.
Alexis and her team at Unique Weddings by Alexis are beyond fantastic. Alexis was a godsend. If you are considering hiring a wedding planner for part of or for your entire wedding, hire Alexis immediately. No wedding coordinator could be better.
I cannot stress enough how her positive attitude, supreme attention to detail, genuine kindness, and absolute professionalism made our wedding a day to remember. Most importantly, my husband and I could relax and focus on each other and our guests because we knew Alexis had literally everything handled to perfection.
Alexis on several occasions literally saved our wedding. She helped us end a contract with a terrible vendor and found our new venue. She even fixed favors that I had ordered that arrived damaged (all the shippers fault - nothing to do with Alexis - but she still fixed them anyway!) She was able to handle a difficult relative situation during the wedding with ease. I couldn't believe how seamlessly she smoothed the drama and made it appear as though nothing had happened.
Also, extremely important - Alexis was very respectful of our wedding budget and found venders that were right for us in style, size, and price.
I always felt that our wedding day meant just as much to Alexis as it did to us. Although I'm sure she was working on other weddings, she was amazingly responsive and quick. She has a terrific memory. I never had to ask her about anything twice. I had complete confidence that if I asked Alexis for something it would be done. I could put it out of my mind.
Alexis also has a wonderful calming influence. As soon as she arrived in the bridal suite, I immediately felt like everything was back under control. She got everyone calmed down and focused.
My husband and I consider Alexis to be the best money we spent. I have told numerous colleagues and friends that her services are worth far, far more than we paid and that they should absolutely hire her. I'm more than happy to be a reference for Alexis.
I'll start by saying that Alexis and her team were absolutely amazing to work with and made our wedding day FLAWLESS and completely stress free. We worked with Alexis and Chelsea, both whom are easy to talk with, very accessible, and totally understanding of our vision.
They recommended vendors, made suggestions and wanted to ensure that our wedding day was exactly how we envisioned. They managed all of our vendors and made sure to have frequent contact with them as the big day approached (which definitely made my life a whole lot easier!).
Not only was her planning help invaluable the months leading up to the wedding, but we could not have done without her day of coordination. She kept things on schedule so that myself, rob and our families could simply enjoy and soak up the day without worrying what time to get to the church or if it was time to cut the cake.
Alexis' professionalism, enthusiasm and expertise were above and beyond... definitely the elite among wedding planners. We would HIGHLY recommend Unique Weddings to anyone who wants their perfect wedding to go off without a hitch.
Thank you Alexis for everything!
Colleen and Rob
When my now husband and I got engaged we immediately knew that we were going to need some help! Neither of us knew the first thing about planning a wedding so naturally one of the first tasks was to talk with a wedding planner. I knew as soon as I met with Alexis that she would be perfect for us. While she is a consummate professional, she also makes sure to make you feel like you have a friend looking out for your best interests all the way thru the planning process. These qualities proved to be priceless when dealing with vendors, struggling with decisions, and making the wedding day ultimately perfect!
Even if you are not like we were, clueless, but a couple that knows exactly what they want Alexis and her team would be beneficial. Alexis always took the time to make sure we were getting the best deals possible and her rapport with vendors is invaluable. If you want to make sure that your wedding day is stress-free and executed to perfection then Unique Weddings by Alexis is the way to go!
Evan and I could not be happier with the way our wedding day turned out and we know all this would not have been possible without Alexis and her team.

Budget 'Blood Car' gets good mileage
Red-blooded American ingenuity fuels imaginative horror satire
An ingenious low-budget horror comedy from Atlanta, "Blood Car" literalizes the idea that the comfort and clout that Americans enjoy are the benefits of a Faustian blood-for-oil contract to which all of us are de facto signees.
The movie is funny, but it isn't so much tongue in cheek as body in trunk: Writer-director Alex Orr ultimately slams the lid shut on our laughter. As in "A Bucket of Blood" (1959) and "The Little Shop of Horrors" (1960), the shoestring Roger Corman classics that were Orr's obvious inspirations, there's real tragedy in this story of a shy, unlucky-in-love milquetoast transformed by his first mouthful of red meat into a selfish status addict.
In the case of "Blood Car," that's not just a metaphor. Gawky Mike Brune stars as the aptly named Archie Andrews, an idealistic vegan torn between the Betty and Veronica alternatives of sweet, bespectacled Lorraine (former child actress and Macaulay Culkin co-star Anna Chlumsky), who runs the local wheatgrass stand, and her full-blooded rival, Denise (Katie Rowlett), proprietress of a nearby meat stand. (It's a testament to Orr's sure handling of his oddball material that we readily accept the conceit of these ridiculous stands, which sit opposite each other in an otherwise vacant lot, as unlikely and unprepossessing as Lucy's psychiatric booth.)
The movie is set in a very near future in which almost nobody drives because gas costs more than $32 a gallon. Bike-pedaling Archie, an earnest elementary schoolteacher whose apartment is decorated with hand-crafted rainforest motifs, wants to find a solution: He is trying to invent an engine that will run on the alternative fuel source of wheatgrass juice.
Like his clumsy outcast predecessors, the careless Seymour Krelboin in "Little Shop" and the cat-stabbing Walter Paisley in "Bucket of Blood," Archie accidentally discovers the profit in injury. When he cuts himself, his blood flows into his invention, and the engine churns to life. His new status as a man with wheels makes him attractive to the insatiable Denise, and soon Archie is hooked on sex and, inevitably, killing. After all, he's got to keep his car running. (It's no coincidence that one of his first victims is a homeless war veteran.)
Produced with plenty of elbow grease for about $14,000, "Blood Car" is small in scale but high in ambition and concept. Co-scripted by Adam Pinney, from a story by Orr, Pinney and Hugh Braselton, the movie is especially intriguing during its first two-thirds, before the political satire becomes overt. After some bumbling government agents arrive to commandeer Archie's invention ("Killing people for fuel is not racist, it's patriotic," argues one), the humor becomes less interesting and the limitations of the meager budget become more apparent. Still, "Blood Car" represents a remarkable debut for Orr: a ready-made cult film that asks audiences to contemplate their complicity in the lethal actions carried out for their alleged benefit by their government.
A selection of the Indie Memphis Film Festival, "Blood Car" screens one time only: at 10:45 tonight at Malco's Studio on the Square. Orr is scheduled to attend, to introduce and discuss the film.

I've learned that people will forget what you said and what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. - Maya Angelou
So this is my ideal: I am looking for a loving, caring, sincere, gentle, intelligent, honest, spontaneous, free-spirited, hard-working and ambitious man that is not scared of spirituality and can hold conversations about education, life, politics, sports, and family. I make an effort to nurture my relationships and to make sure that the people in my life know how important they are to me. I would like to meet some one that values these connections as well. I have a wonderful, loving, sweet and smart little boy that lightens up my existence. I want a man that can be a partner to me and be a good role model for him as well. I love my career. I am a professor and a researcher... but best of all I am advisor/mentor to students that want to be the best that they can be and have overcome extraordinary circumstances. I am passionate about making sure they succeed and beat the odds. I am bit of a nerd in lots of aspects of my life. I try not to let all of my responsibilities get in the way of having fun... there is nothing like going out to dinner/drinks with some one that you value in your life. I believe that we can do and have it all! I love spontaneity and little adventures... near and far! I am a caretaker by nature... but I am VERY ready to also get taken care of. I have been criticized many times for caring, loving, and giving too much. ... But I believe that my man is worth it. I love to laugh, play around, and enjoy the simple things that life has to offer, like friends, family and love. I admire a man that takes responsibility for his actions, strives to be a better person, loves life and learning. Respect is at the center of all my relationships. I think each human being carries power from within... at the end of the day, I want to bring out the best in my partner so much so that they want to bring out the best in me. I want to grow with my man -- have passionate crazy times together, just the same as serious life changing experiences together. Laugh and learn together... that's what it is all about. I am in a great place in my life, just open to all sorts of possibilities and opportunities of growth. It's a journey... let's get ready for the ride :).

Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI
My son is beyond my favorite thing in the world. I love to listen to Neo-Soul music and watching movies, especially documentaries and seeing independent films that expose significant social problems
I love reading, going to museums, spending time with friends, and dining out or at a club getting "jiggy with it." I really love discovering new places. Learning is the center of my life so I just see new beginnings as new adventures.
Well, my last non-science read was Elizabeth Gilbert's Committed. I also recently finished The Four Agreements -- words to live by! Currently I am reading "The High Price" by Carl Hart.... for those "nerdoscientists" and drug addiction researchers.
