Alabama will need help to get back to the BCS title game after its 13-game winning streak came to an end over the weekend, but the Crimson Tide are still among the top two teams in the country according to the UPS Team Performance Index.
Unlike past weeks, however, Kansas State is now a very clear No. 1.
Using an advanced proprietary formula featuring offensive yards per play, defensive yards allowed per play, various special teams statistics and a microindex of miscues that rewards disciplined teams, UPS has teamed with STATS LLC to normalize those numbers across 120 FBS schools.
From there, balance is measured for all of a team's individual units, with the final index weighted toward excellence in those areas and overall winning percentage.
Coach Nick Saban's squad took a tumble in the AP rankings following a surprising 29-24 home loss to Texas A&M. As a result, undefeated Oregon took over the top spot, just ahead of Kansas State.
The Crimson Tide, though, were still able to maintain a small edge on the Ducks for No. 2 in the season-long UPS index despite registering the 100th-best performance of the week among FBS schools. That allowed the top-rated Wildcats to open a sizable advantage of more than eight points over the rest of the field.
Kansas State improved to 10-0 and continued its steady march toward a potential national championship with a 23-10 win at TCU, holding the Horned Frogs scoreless for the first 53 minutes of the game. The Wildcats have the nation's best marks in the special teams and miscues categories, thanks in part to their remarkable plus-20 turnover differential.
Coach Bill Snyder, though, may see room for improvement after his team had two turnovers Saturday—exceeding its total from the previous six games combined.
"(Snyder) tells us every day to just focus on getting better," linebacker Jarell Childs said. "Obviously after this game, we have a lot of mistakes to correct and get better, so we go focus on that."
Kansas State seems to have a clear path to the BCS title game if it can win its remaining contests against Baylor and Texas, and Oregon figures to be there as well if it can navigate the final portion of its schedule with victories against Stanford, at Oregon State and in the Pac-12 title game.
The Ducks, though, remain hampered in the UPS index by somewhat pedestrian ratings on defense - they rank 48th in the FBS with 377.7 yards allowed per game - and in the miscues category. Oregon is tied for the fifth-most penalties in the nation with 84, although it went without a turnover for the first time all season in Saturday's 59-17 win at California.
"We don't pay attention to the rankings and what's around us. We just play Oregon football," receiver Josh Huff said. "We'll pick our heads up in December and we'll see where we're at."
Aside from Kansas State and Oregon, the other bowl-eligible unbeaten is AP No. 3 Notre Dame, which won 21-6 at Boston College on Saturday. Fighting Irish coach Brian Kelly has begun lobbying for his team to be considered for the BCS title game, but Kelly certainly won't be citing the UPS index as he makes his case.
Notre Dame (10-0) ranks 21st in the nation by that measure, trailing eight two-loss teams and a three-loss team (Fresno State) even though winning percentage factors into the formula.
The ratings respect the Irish's powerful defense, but the team has below-average numbers on both offense and special teams.
"Each team has their own distinctions. The distinction of this football team is it's the No. 1 scoring defense in the country," Kelly said. "It's proven that against very, very good teams all year. ... We'll let others decide, but I think we've played our way into the discussion."
Georgia clinched a spot in the SEC title game with a performance that rated as the nation's most efficient of Week 11 in a 38-0 win at lowly Auburn. That edged out Wisconsin's 62-14 dismantling of Indiana which saw the Badgers run for 564 yards, averaging 8.8 per carry.
The UPS index is only more evidence of Colorado's sputtering program. The Buffaloes' 56-31 loss at Arizona rated as the worst showing of the 109 FBS teams playing last week, leaving the team last among 120 FBS schools on the season. Colorado's opponents are averaging 505.0 yards per game.

Global Economic Ethic
United Nations Global Compact: Global Economic Ethic
Building on the 1993 Parliament of World Religions' Declaration towards a Global Ethic, the manifesto outlines five universally acceptable principles and values: the principle of humanity; non-violence and respect for life; justice and solidarity; honesty and tolerance; and mutual esteem and partnership. In the symposium, hosted by the UN Global Compact, the Swiss Mission to the United Nations, the Global Ethic Foundation, and the Novartis Foundation for Sustainable Development, broad consensus emerged that the current worldwide financial and economic crises reveals a need for stronger common moral ground among all actors in the globalized marketplace.
Global Ethic Foundation -- Stiftung Weltethos
The Global Ethic Foundation began with Professor Hans Küng's book Global Responsibility (1990), which was first published in English in 1991. This book developed the idea that the religions of the world can make a contribution to the peace of humankind only if they reflect on those elements of an ethic which they already have in common: on a fundamental consensus on binding values, irrevocable standards andpersonal attitudes. The Foundation came into being through the generosity of Count K. K. von der Groeben who had read the book and dedicated a substantial sum for the dissemination of the idea of a global ethic.

Saying that Asian women are child-like is one step removed from saying we look like children.
I'm just trying to try and explain what goes on in Westerners' minds.
People seem to misunderstand me and claim I'm racist or biased or trying to say some women are not "real women" or whatever. I'm not. I'm just trying to explain why some people perceive things in a certain way.
No, please, just stop. You're not an authority on anything. You can't make broad generalisations like this: there is no one "Western" perception of Asian women. Is there a need to explain why people like GK think that women like Fiasco's girlfriend has a body of a 12-year-old when it's clearly his own personal taste? It was bad enough that he made a broad generalisation, and you had to make it worse by coming up with your bullshit thesis that is, again, full of generalisations that perpetuate stereotypes.
Of course it's easier to dismiss them by saying they're just racist, biased, and that what they believe is completely irrational with no basis whatsoever.
But you use the terms "racist" and "stereotypes" as if they were self-evident, and I'm telling you, those matters are far more complex. I am interested in trying to understand how they work, that's all.
Well, anyway, sorry for trying to bring up those discussions on a tennis forum. My mistake.
Your mistake was using offensive terms and still failing to see how your initial post was offensive. And I'm sorry if I'm not at all interested in understanding bullshit stereotypes that racist Westerners have of us Asian women.

Iran Imports 2 Million Metric Tons of Wheat, Fars Reports
July 2 (Bloomberg) -- Iran imported 2 million metric tons of wheat to maximize its strategic reserves, the state-run Fars news agency reported, citing an unidentified official.
The commodity was purchased from various countries despite financial restrictions imposed on the Persian Gulf nation, Fars cited the official, who didn't identify the suppliers or give a timeframe, as saying.
An Iranian delegation visited India in June to discuss wheat imports from the Indian central state of Madhya Pradesh, Fars said. India is seeking to export wheat to Iran at lower prices than Pakistan, according to the report.

Where were you when Robert Pattinson answered a question about Kristen Stewart in which she was referred to as "[his] girlfriend"? True story: we were sitting at our desk drinking out of our Twilight cup. Then suddenly 100 doves landed on our desk holding a banner in their beaks that read, "Rob just basically confirmed Kristen is his girlfriend to a German TV reporter!" and we shed a single tear shaped like Stephenie Meyer's face.
To commemorate this monumental day we've gathered 25 of our favorite pictures of Rob and Kristen gazing lovingly at each other. They've been giving each other such looks since back in the innocent Twilight days, as if they knew it was only a matter of time before they would become Hollywood's Worst Kept Secret. They may not ever talk about their relationship, but there's no hiding what's written all over their faces.*
*That was the cheesiest sentence we've ever written. Forgive us.

A High-Stakes Courtship
When Jonah Armstrong, the Earl of Haywood, returns to London after a three year absence, his plan is simple: reenter society, find a wealthy bride, and save the Haywood name from ruin. He has no time for distractions. Yet when he encounters Lady Cecelia Randolph, Jonah can't resist a flirtation. After all, his feud with her brother, the Duke of Hadleigh, necessitated Jonah's recent exile; he's entitled to his revenge. But within seconds Jonah realizes he's underestimated Cecelia. The gangly girl he once knew has blossomed into a beauty of rare intellect and character. He can't possibly marry the Duke of Hadleigh's sister...can he?
A Gamble of the Heart
Cecelia has loved Jonah forever, but she's no fool. His attentions are motivated not by passion but by her generous dowry - and his thirst for vengeance against her brother. Yet when Jonah risks everything to protect her from her brother's crazed fury, Cecelia dares to hope true love is within her reach at last.

I love being swept away by a new romance and thankfully Audible's ever growing Library means I get to indulge myself over and over again
My first venture with this author and it was all nice. A nice plot, a nice romance but not earthshattering and some nice characters - all just 'nice'! Penniless hero must marry rich heroine, she has always loved him but he hadn't noticed her - that is until his return from the war - but her brother hates him and wants revenge (but you know what they say about revenge - 2 graves).
I felt it lacked passion, especially between the two lovers, right up until near the end which could have been due to the narrator's voice. Her female voices were terrible they all sounded rich spoilt and arrogant and her male voices weren't much better. I think this book would've been so much better if it had been read by more talented narrators like Anne Flosnik or Rosalyn Landor so a star, sadly, was dropped off for this. I'm glad to see another of her books has been narrated by R.L.
Worth a credit? Mmmmmm because of the price, it's one of those debatable ones, but I'd put it in your Wish List and wait for a sale. But with a different narrator then I would have said it was worth buying.
"Great Female Lead"
Enjoyed the story but loved the main female's character and attitude. So refreshing to have a positive happy female character. Enjoyed all of the characters in the book, not bad.
I love Epic Fantasy....have become a Historical Romance fan because I am a sucker for a good Happily Ever After. Good characters are a must
"Good, sweet, but not exceptional."
This is a good story...not exceptional...but I truly enjoyed it.
I especially enjoyed the back and forth between Amanda and Hadliegh. They weren't the main couple...but were actually extremely entertaining. I would have enjoyed a story of their own...but not to be! The characters dialogue was entertainng and we'll written.
I'm glad I listened to this story...but it didn't make me think of it for days after I finished it...so it's just a good story.
It was an easy listen and I looked forward to listening to it everytime I could....but I didnt lose sleep or work time to listen.
Get it on sale...it's worth that!
I love to sew and read. Now I can do both at the same time!
"I wanted to like this book"
I tried, I really did. I made it through those awful first 10 minutes. It took more than 3 times that long because I kept turning it off. Then I'd try again. Because I forced myself through the screeching voice in that first 10 minutes of the audiobook, I thought it was clear sailing. I was wrong. What was wrong with this book? I checked back through my history. Nope, I'd heard the reader before and while her voice is not one of my favorites, it has never stood out as one of worst I have ever heard. She did an adequate job on the previous books I'd listened to, one of them written by Laura Landon. So what was it about this book that made her voice so annoying that it set my teeth on edge.
Halfway through this torture, I figured it out. The book wasn't very good! And while sometimes a great reader can carry a bad book forward, an inferior reader cannot.
The plot was implausible, the characters not only uninteresting, but for the most part, downright unpleasant. The hero and heroine might have been ok if they had been given some kind of story to work with, but this just wasn't it.
Please, don't disregard Laura Landon because of this book! Try one of her others. But don't waste your credit or your money on this one.
That's 4 hours and 26 minutes I'm never going to get back. I'll leave the other 3 hours till sometime in the future when the awful memory of that first 10 minutes has faded from view.
"a great surprise"
Every book is its own entity! Perhaps 'the most to lose' or .... its too hatd to compare...
Swimming lessons in the pond... very touching and comical and heartstopping!
I will probably listen again at some point... that's a good recommendation!

Aga Khan to build 'Islamic Cultural Hub' at King's Cross - London - 2010-05-28
King's Cross
H. H. the Aga Khan is in talks to develop a major Islamic learning and cultural "hub" at the £2 billion King's Cross Central development in north London.
His foundation has opened negotiations for a large facility on the 67-acre site, and may occupy as many as five buildings. They are mainly for students and educational facilities, but a museum of some kind has not been ruled out.

Aga Khan plots London return after embarrassing snub - 2010-05-29Posted June 3rd, 2010 by heritage
The Aga Khan hopes to build an Islamic cultural 'hub' in London.
The Aga Khan suffered a humiliating defeat in 2002 when his plans to build a museum of Islamic art on one of London's most desirable sites were thrown out, even though his £24 million bid was twice the size of any other.
The racehorse breeder and spiritual leader to more than four million Ismaili Muslims was said to have been furious with what he saw as unfair and xenophobic treatment of his philanthropy, and signalled that would turn his back on this country.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OriginMephista is a powerful demon and the daughter of the powerful hell lord Mephisto. Although possessing immense power she is relatively young and inexperienced. One of Mephista's first forays to Earth involved claiming the soul of the Earth sorcerer Baron Mordo. Sent by her father, Mephista would find that the hell lord Satannish also had claims to Baron Mordo's soul. She would have to breach the Earths Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Strange's sphere of containment to find and claim to Mordo who was trapped inside it. Although she was able to easily dismiss Doctor Strange's attempts to stop her, she was unable to break into the containment sphere. Then she would find herself face to face with the powerful Satannish. The threat Satannish would present would be grave enough for Mephista to team up with Doctor Strange in order to stop him from acquiring the containment sphere. Yet the two would fail to stop Satannish who would depart taking the containment sphere with him, planning to break in back in his own native realm. During this time Mephista would develop a small crush on Doctor Strange. Mephista would have no choice but to report her failure to her father Mephisto who was considerably angered by this failing and loss. Mephisto, not one to appreciate losing, would prepare for battle and confrontation against his rival Satannish, venting frustration at Doctor Strange unaware of his daughters feelings towards the Sorcerer Supreme. As such Mephista was secretly relieved when her father would only imprison Strange in a sphere instead of destroy him. Mephista would accompany her father to confront Satannish.CreationMephista is a Marvel comic book character created by Roy Thomas, Dann Thomas, Jackson Guice and Jose Marzan Jr. The character first appears in Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme #6 released in 1989.Major Story ArcsMephisto Vs SatannishDuring the clash between the two hell lords, Mephista would leave her fathers side to travel to Doctor Strange's residence hoping to destroy Mordo's physical body, ensuring his soul could not return to it. She would come across Rintrah and Topaz, an apprentice and associate of Strange. Mephista would find both easy to overcome and defeat, however Doctor Strange would appear and he would be more successful in his battle with Mephista this time around, trapping Mephisto's daughter into the Ruby of Cyttorak where she would fall into a deep slumber. Strange would go on to threaten Mephisto and Satannish into merging both demonic entities together, and the risk for both powerful demons, to lose their sentience was too great. Both would relinquish their claims on Mordo's soul.X-FactorShe is looking to team up with the Isolationist to destroy all mutants. She works with the Celtic Goddess of War and Death, Morrigan.Powers and AbilitiesMephista possesses supernatural levels of strength, stamina, speed, durability, and energy manipulation. A demon, she possesses the ability to generate and manipulate mystical blasts. She possesses the ability to possess others as well as teleport, shape shift and travel through dimensions. She is a potent spell caster that can duel effectively with the Sorcerer Supreme Stephen Strange. Mephista requires no conventional sustenance such as food or rest, as well as being highly resistant to conventional forms of injury and disease. Mephista is immune to aging and functionally immortal. Mephista possesses a prehensile tail. Mephista is relatively young and inexperienced and as such her power and use of power may grow with time and use.Physical CharacteristicsHeight: 5' 10"Weight: 125 lbsEyes: RedHair: Red

Recently three Antlers Elementary School students participated in the Dallas Mavericks Dancers Dance Camp in Dallas, TX. The girls learned dances which were performed as a camp finale.
Kaden Shetter, 7th Grader at Obuch Middle School won the State weightlifting Championship for his weight class.
Dustin Morehead, 8th Grader at Obuch Middle School was State Runner-Up for State in his weight class.
On a day when schools from around the state where getting prepared for the three day tournament that would decide who would take home the title of State Champion, the Moyers Tigers were making history.
For the first time in the school's history, the Tigers won a bid to State. Moyers had never before sent a team, boys or girls, but this year the boys broke through.
The Tigers had a large crowd of fans in attendance at the Big House, well over the town's population, as they took the court at the State Fair Arena on Thursday, Feb. 28, 2013.
The Moyers Tigers are State Bound after defeating the McCurtain Bulldogs 65-55 Saturday night in Kingston. The Tigers claimed the Area Runner Up Trophy after falling to the Red Oak Eagles on Friday night. The Tigers played hard against the Eagles and the score was close through the end of the 3rd quarter. However, the Tigers shooting was cold throughout the game and their efforts fell short with a final score of 53-42.
The Saturday night game was a rematch of the Regional Championship game with the McCurtain Bulldogs.
The Bearcats will move on into a new bracket as they play their first game in Area competition. They boys will take the court in Byng at 3:00 p.m.(Thursday). Good Luck Boys!!
The Rattan Rams clinched a spot in the Area Championship with a win on Saturday, February 23, 2013 against Howe. The game was intense with back to back scoring which kept both teams on their toes but the Rams took the "W" with a final score of 43-34. The Rams will take the court against Oktaha at 3 pm in Wilburton (Thursday, Feb. 28). Good Luck Rams!!!!

Los Pinos
We are considering trying it this weekend as my husband is always on the lookout for his Cochinita Pibil fix. Any recent experiences here you could share with me? Thanks!
I did read the review by amysuehere a while back...just wondering if anyone else had any experiences here.
This is one of our favorite spots. I haven't had the Cochinita Pibil, but the chili relleno is excellent, as is the ceviche. Also, the tortillas (both corn and flour) are homemade and wonderful. Enjoy!
Here's a link to the only other report I've seen here on Los Pinos. It's not as favorable as melissad and amysuehere's reactions. If you try it, please post on the experience.

There is an obvious pattern that i'm noticing here. One kid is being praised for not choosing some schools based on the type of offense they run and the other because he wants a quality education from a good school. From what i see, they both have ego's and are both looking for the best fit for them. Some of you say the one kid is selfish because he wants to be at a school that produce good quarterbacks. Is it me or is this kid a bad person because he wants to go somewhere that will help him improve his skillset and become the best he can be at his position? As with the other kid that everyone is praising for wanting to get a great education(which i applaud), these kids are looking for what gives them the best chance to succeed in life. Ofcourse the florida state recruit is all about self as is the kid who wants a quality college education. They are looking out for #1 and at their age they should be!!! It's up to the coaches that get their services to mold them into team players, isn't that why we trust them to take our children and look-after them for 4-5 years.

http://5601-blogs-nvidia-com.voxcdn....10/polaris.jpgCarnegie Mellon University (CMU) has been doing some amazing things with CUDA. So we've named CMU as a CUDA Center of Excellence.
The recognition is a result of CMU's ongoing work in parallel computing research and education using NVIDIA GPUs and the CUDA parallel computing platform (see 'What Is CUDA?').
The CUDA Center of Excellence (CCOE) at CMU will establish research collaborations with NVIDIA to realize new, high-impact applications in field robotics, high-throughput gene sequencing, spoken-language processing, signal processing and computer graphics.
The collaboration will also seek to advance the design of throughput-focused hardware and software systems by promoting and targeting GPU technologies in heterogeneous systems research at CMU and across the nation.
Located in Pittsburgh and Silicon Valley, CMU prides itself in creativity and leadership in computing education. Parallel computing is no exception. At CMU abstract parallel thinking concepts and hands-on parallel computing experience using GPUs are provided to undergraduate and masters-level students in Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering.As a CUDA Center of Excellence, CMU will use equipment and grants provided by NVIDIA to support research and academic programs across both campus locations.
These projects include:
CMU 'Icebreaker' Lunar Expedition
Carnegie Mellon University will land an unmanned spacecraft on the Moon in 2015.As part of the Icebreaker Mission led by Professor Red Whittaker of the CMU Robotics Institute, CMU's Polaris will explore for ice at the pole of the moon and transmit high-definition video back to the world. In collaboration with NVIDIA, CMU researchers are exploring the use of high-performance GPU computing to assist mission realization by accelerating systems for computer vision, rover trajectory planning, and pre-mission simulation.
NSF PRObE: Enabling Accelerated Computing Research at Scale
The central challenge for the coming era of Exascale and Data Intensive Scientific Discovery will be the scale at which large computers operate. Unfortunately, today students and researchers rarely have access to clusters of more than a handful of machines or access to the latest, highest core-count computers.
To address this challenge, the National Science Foundation (NSF) Parallel Reconfigurable Observational Environment (PRObE) for Data Intensive Super-Computing and High-End Computing will provide a platform enabling researchers across the country to perform computer systems research at scale. In cooperation with the CCOE at Carnegie Mellon, NVIDIA is outfitting a PRObE high-core count cluster with 36 Kepler GPUs. This collaboration creates a modern, large-scale environment for future research in GPU accelerated-computing.
Accelerating Next-Generation Genome Sequence Analysis using GPUs
The massively parallel sequencing, or so-called next-generation sequencing (NGS), technologies promise an era of preventive and personalized medicine through low-cost and high-throughput genome sequencing. Realizing this potential depends on the existence of computational technologies that can process and analyze enormous amounts of sequence data quickly, economically, and in an energy-efficient manner.
Research within the CCOE at Carnegie Mellon led by Electrical and Computer Engineering Professor Onur Mutlu will develop technologies for high-performance NGS-based genome sequence alignment and sequence assembly by combining the benefits of new GPU-friendly software algorithms with the large processing capabilities of GPUs.
Accelerating Speech and Language Technologies with CUDA
Modern machine learning techniques, such as deep neural networks and graph-based semi-supervised learning, are powerful but generally too computationally intensive to be applied for large-scale speech and language processing tasks. Carnegie Mellon University is developing methods to accelerate these and related technologies and are exploring their effectiveness for tasks such as large vocabulary speech recognition and context-aware spoken language processing.
Using CUDA-accelerated GPUs we have obtained 1000x speedup for signal processing tasks, 100x speedup for well-structured tasks such as Viterbi training and 10x speedups for complex tasks such as speech recognition. Within this work we have developed a novel Automatic Speech Recognition engine, HYDRA, that leverages both many-core GPUs and multicore CPU processors to efficiently perform speech recognition with very large vocabularies 3 to 5x faster than real-time.

During a heart attack, your pulse will feel?
a. Faster than normal
b. Slower than normal
c. Faster or slower, depending on the situation
Answer: c — Heart attacks happen when blood flow to the heart is partially blocked, typically by a blood clot. Where the blockage occurs determines the type of heart attack and the symptoms you will experience.
Which heart attack symptom is more common among women than men?
a. Chest pain
b. Jaw pain
c. Arm pain
Answer: b — As with men, women's most common heart attack symptom is chest pain or discomfort. But women are somewhat more likely than men to experience other common symptoms, particularly shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting and back or jaw pain. Chest pressure doesn't always accompany heart attacks in women; instead, symptoms can mimic the flu or stress.
Which fat-rich food actually boosts heart health?
a. Avocado
b. Whole milk
c. Ground beef
Answer: a — The avocado contains monounsaturated fats that can cut bad cholesterol and reduce your heart disease risk. Instead of whole milk, reach for skim or fat-free versions, and trade red meat for lean proteins like ground turkey, fish or skinless chicken.
How much sleep should you get each night to prevent heart problems?
a. 5-6 hours
b. 6-8 hours
c. 9-10 hours
Answer: b — While sleep needs vary from person to person, research shows that six to eight hours a day is ideal for heart health — and for overall health. Studies have linked poor sleep to high blood pressure, obesity, irregular heartbeat, stress and other issues.
If you experience common heart attack symptoms, you should?
a. Drive yourself to the emergency room.
b. Ask someone else to drive you to the emergency room.
c. Call 9-1-1 and follow the operator's instructions.
Answer: c — If you suspect you're having a heart attack, call 9-1-1 or your emergency response number immediately. An emergency responder can talk you through the next steps or send paramedics to administer immediate care. And, don't wait to see if your symptoms improve — prompt treatment can save your life.
› Face Drooping Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile.
› Arm Weakness Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift
› Speech Difficulty Is speech slurred, is he or she unable to speak or hard to understand? Ask the
person to repeat a simple sentence, like: "The sky is blue." Is the sentence repeated correctly?
Time to call 9-1-1 If the person shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call
9-1-1 and get him or her to the hospital immediately.
The American Heart Association tracks women's heart health statistics. How does your state rate?
› Each day in Iowa, an average of 12 women die from heart disease and stroke. That accounts for 31.4
percent of all female deaths in the state, and makes heart disease the leading cause of death.
› In South Dakota, nearly three women die from heart disease and stroke daily. Heart disease is the leading
killer there, accounting for 32.6 percent of all female deaths in the state.

Aug. 11, 1953 F. E. BROWN ETAL HYPODERMIC INJECTION ASSEMBLY Filed Oct. 28, 1949 /NVENTO/?$ FRANK E. BROWN FREOiR/CK M. Tue/v5 ULL BY THE/l? ATTORNEYS. 5, KIEcH, F05 TE)? & HH/FR/S M wx Patented Aug. 11, 1953 HYPODERMIC INJECTION ASSEMBLY Frank E. Brown, Burbank, and Frederick M.
Turnbull, Los Angeles, Calif. said Brown assignor to said. Turnbull Application October 28, 1949, Serial No. 124,061
Our invention relates to hypodermic structures and more particularly to a multiple-dose hypodermic syringe for hypcdermically injecting exactly metered dosages of a medicament through a hypodermic needle. Many features of the invention are, however, applicable to single-dose syringes.
lhe most commonly used hypodermic structure includes a graduated barrel, a plunger slidable therein and a separate or permanently attached needle. These elements must be hot-sterilized between uses on the same or different patients. The needle is inserted through a rubber cap of a bottle or vial containing a multiple-dose volume of a medicament. Each penetration tends to dull the needle and any puncture after the first is considered unsterile under strict standards.
In use, the plunger is pulled back to draw into the syringe an amount of air corresponding to the desired dosage. Ihe needle is then forced through the rubber cap of the vial and this volume of air displaced into the vial whereupon the plunger is withdrawn While submerged in the medicament to draw into the barrel an amount of the medicament greater than the dosage required. The syringe is then upturned and the plunger advanced to expel any excess solution and any air, the plunger being stopped at the graduation on the barrel corresponding to the desired dosage. These graduations are hard to read, particularly in inexperienced hands, and the dosage often varies with the angle of sight, making it extremely dimcult to inject hypodermically exactly metered doses of the medicament.
The problems become increasingly severe in instances where insulin, for example, must be self-injected, often by children or adults removed from parental or medical supervision. The danger of lack of sterility of the needle and the danger of overdosage is particularly severe in such instances. The problem is accentuated if a hypodermic must be given under subdued light or by a person with impaired vision.
Proposals to solve the problem by use of singledose ampules have not proved entirely successful as these proposals involve sterilization of the exterior of the ampule, filing and breaking thereof with the danger of glass contaminating the medicament. In addition, the cost of such single-dose ampules is excessive. Similarly, attempts to solve the problems by use of Carpules or single-dose cartridges insertable into a syringe barrel have not been entirely satisfactory, being unduly costly and failing to obviate the chance of nonsterile needle conditions. In fact, any single-dosage systemmust necessarily be costly as the container must be marketed in a large number of sizes, to accommodate the dosage requirements of different persons.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel, multiple-dose syringe capable of injectin exactly needed dosages by a simple presetting operation.
Another object of the invention is to provide a hypodermic structure which is foolproof and easy to use, yet which can be manufactured at relatively low cost.
A further object is to provide a hypodermic structure capable of receiving a multi-dose hypodermic cartridge containing the medicament and from which the doses can be accurately metered by a stepwise movable actuator. Another object is to provide a structure whereby any ore-selected dose of medicament can be expelled from a standard-sized, multi-dose cartridge by a simple substitution of actuating elements, whereby the physician can prescribe or the druggist can supply a suitably formed and calibrated actuating element that will insure accurate injection doses of the desired volume.
Preparatory to use or between uses of a hypodermic needle, it is very desirable that the interior of the needle be flushed or cleansed of any sterilizing solution or other liquid. It is, therefore, an additional object of the present invention to provide a cartridge-type hypodermic syringe in which the needle can be flushed or cleansed with ease and preparatory to the use thereof. This is preferably accomplished by providing for automatic cleansing or flushing of the needle upon insertion of the cartridge into the barrel. Incidental auxiliary means may be provided for efllecting such flushing or cleansing.
The invention also provides a novel relationship between the barrel of the syringe and the hypodermic cartridge insertable thereinto. In this connection, it is an object of the invention to provide a piston-like action between these two elements upon assembly; also to provide for positively locking the barrel in predetermined position. Afurther object is to provide a hypodermic cartridge of novel form.
It is another object of the invention to provide a hypodermic barrel detachably receiving a hypodermic needle and carrying an inwardly-extending perforating needle which perforates the hypodermic cartridge upon insertion.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will be evident to those skilled in the art from the herein contained description of exemplary embodiments of the invention.
Referring to the drawings:
Fig. 1 is an exploded view, partially in section, showing the operative elements of another embodiment of the invention in positions preparatory to assembly;
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal View, partially in section, of the elements of the Fig. 1 embodiment of the invention when in assembled position and after injection of the first dose;
Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view taken along the line 33 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 4 is a transverse view taken along the line 44 of Fig. 1 and showing the cartridge and barrel in unlocked position; and
Fig. 5 is a transverse view taken along the line 55 of Fig. 2 and showing the cartridge and barrel in locked position.
Referring particularly to Figs. 1 and 2, the invention includes a hypodermic structure or hypodermic syringe including a barrel 2!] providing an open end 2| and a closed needle-holding end 22, the open end 2| giving access to a chamber 23. The barrel may be formed of glass or metal but preferably is formed of a thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic material, usually a resintype material. For hot-sterilizing techniques, we may use a plastic known as Saran, a copolymer of vinylidene chloride, or a plastic known as Kel-F, the latter product being monochlorotrifluoroethylene. For cold-sterilizing techniques, we may use methyl methacrylate or polyethylene.
The closed needle-holding end 22 provides an 1.
attachment means for a detachable hypodermic needle structure indicated generally by the numeral 25, this attachment means being illustrated as a tapered tubular portion 26 mating with an appropriate attachment portion of the Extending into the closed end 22 of the barrel 20 is a cartridge-perforating needle 33 extending rearwardly into the chamber 23 and providing an angularly ground sharp tip 34. This needle as shown may be fixed against movement with respect to the barrel body. It may, however, be provided in any desired manner.
At the open end 2|, the barrel 20 provides a flange 35. In the preferred embodiment, this flange extends only a short distance beyond the periphery of the barrel 20 in a direction transverse to the paper in Fig. 2 but extends a further distance from such periphery in the plane of the paper to form wings 36 having arcuate edges 31 for a purpose to be described.
The open end 2| of the barrel 20 is adapted to receive a hypodermic cartridge or ampule shown as including a tubular member or portion 4| made of metal, glass or any suitable thermoplastic or thermosetting material, such as the materials exemplified above. The tubular member 4| is preferably a length of tubular-stock material somewhat longer than the interior of the barrel and provides front and rear open ends 42 and 43.
Closing the front open end 42 is a front stopper 44 made of rubber or other suitable material to be penetrated by the perforating needle 33 when the cartridge is in inserted position. The front stopper is pressed into the front open end 42 of the tubular member 4|, its innermost position being determined by a flexible flange 45 which serves a number of other functions. Thus, this flange seats against the closed end 22 of the barrel 20 when the cartridge is inserted, acting as a cushion for the tubular member 4| and acting to separate this tubular member from the closed end 22 of the barrel. In addition, the flange 45 is of a diameter to form a piston fit in the chamber 23. Accordingly, when the cartridge 40 is inserted into the chamber 23, inward movement of the cartridge builds up a superatmospheric pressure within the chamber ahead of the flange 45 to expel from the perforating needle 33 and the needle structure 25, if attached, any residual fluid remaining therein from prior sterilization or prior use. This cleansing action is automatic. When the tip 34 of the perforating needle 33 penetrates the stopper 44 further advancement of the cartridge forces the entrapped air rearwardly past the flange 45 and from the open end 2| of the barrel through the small annular space between the exterior of the tubular member 4| and the interior of the barrel 20.
The rear open end 43 of the tubular member 4| is initially closed by a rear piston type stopper or plunger 41, preferably formed of rubber and advanceable within the tubular member 4| by manually-applied pressure to decrease the volume of the space 48 between the stoppers and expel from this space through the needles 3| and 33 an incremental portion of a liquid medicament within this space.
The rear stopper 41 is preferably formed of a cylindrical rubber member with peripheral grooves. It provides suitable means for detachable connection to an actuator 50, this means being shown as a threaded metal member 5| with an enlarged base embedded or molded in the stopper 41.
While the penetration of the needle 33 into the front stopper 44 provides some degree of restraint against removal of the cartridge 4!], it is distinctly preferable to provide an interengaging means on the barrel and the cartridge for holding the latter in its advanced position within the barrel. It is also preferable that the cartridge provide a manually-engageable flange on its outer or rear end and of a greater size than the chamber 23 to aid in limiting and establishing the innermost position of the cartridge. These and other functions are performed by a flange 53 of a collared member, preferably formed of a plastic material and forming a press fit with the periphery of the tubular member 4|. The flange 53 is adapted to mate with the flange 35 and provides wings 54 extending in a direction perpendicular to the paper as viewed in Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 4, the wings 54 carry depending members 55 of arcuate form and providing inwardly-extending lips 55 adapted to swing beneath the wings 36 of the barrel. As suggested in Fig. 4, the wings 54 advance in the inter-wing space of the barrel, between its wings 35, until the wings 54 engage the rear end of the barrel 20; the lips 56 being then at a level just beyond the wings 35. Turning of the cartridge 40 through an angle of will then interlock the wings 36 and 54; the wings 54 swinging into the same plane and being of substantially identical shape as the wings 36, thus definitely indicating to the operator the proper locking of the cartridge 46 and the barrel 20.
The, actuator 53 comprises a body portion 51 having a rear manually-engageable member 58 of larger diameter and typically of a diameter substantially the same as the diameter of the curved periphery 3? of the flanges 35. The rear face of the manually-engageable member 58 is preferably dished to receive the thumb of the operator.
The body portion 51' of the actuator 50 is of a size to be received by the tubular member 4|. Its forward end provides an attachment means, shown as a threaded cavity 59 permitting removable connection to the stopper or piston 41.
The invention includes a multiple-position stop means on the actuator 50 and movable stepwise therealong to determine the incremental advances of the stopper or piston 41 and thus determine with exactitude the volume of each .dose. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, this stop means in cludes a stop member 60 of ring shape. adapted to move along and engage with stepped guiding means 6| on the body portion 51 of the actuator 501.
As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the means 6| includes guiding and stop portions in the form of a successive series of longitudinally extending grooves 62 connected by transverse groove portions 63. These are formed on the outer face of the actuator. It is obvious that in lieu of grooves, other structures might be employed. The actuator is encircled by stop member 60 so that the latter may slide longitudinally of the actuator. A projection, 64, carried by member 60 cooperates with the groove portions 62 and 63. The stop member may be formed of any desired material and the projection may be secured thereto in any suitable manner as, for example, by adhesive.
Conveniently the stop member 60 is disposed upon the actuator and the projection 64 is introduced into the first or lowermost groove portion 62 shown in Fig. 1. This groove portion is then obstructed by, for example, a member 65 which may be adhesively secured to the actuator. In this manner, removal of the stop member from the body portion 51 is prevented. The length of each of the longitudinally extending grooves 62 are preferably identical. In its initial position stop member 66 may have its projection 64 riding within the first or lowermost transverse or stop groove 53. With the coupling 5! and 59 properly engaged, the spacing between stop member 60 and the ampule 60 will be equal to the distance between a pair of adjacent transverse grooves .63.
When the cartridge fill has been inserted and locked in position and the actuator 50 has been attached, the hypodermic syringe is ready for injecting the first metered dose. After intermuscular insertion of the needle 3|, the manually-engageable member 53 is forced inwardly until the stop member 60 engages the open end of the cartridge 40, the stop member advancing a predetermined distance and definitely controlling the advance of the stopper or piston 41 and thus metering the amount of medicament injected. The syringe elements will now be in the position shown in Fig. 2. To set the syringe for the metering of the second dose, the stop member so must be turned so that its guide memher at lies opposite the next longitudinal portion $2 whereupon the stop member may be advanced longitudinally until the guide member engages the succeeding shoulder.
There is no possibility of setting the stop member to meter more than one dose except as the stop member is deliberately advanced beyond the succeeding position. Additionally, the stop positions are sufiiciently widely spaced that close observation is not required when moving from one setting to the next, the proper advanced position being apparent from the feel of the stop member. Suitable numbered indicia may be applied to the actuator to identify the stop positions and in all instances indicia should be employed to indicate in units, cubic centimeters, etc., the dose calibration of the particular actuator.
The syringe can be sold with the particular actuator needed to secure the uniform doses prescribed by the physician. For office or hospital use, the physician or nurse need only select the proper-dose actuator from a supply of differentdose actuators at hand. In all instances, the cartridge may be of some standard or predetermined size and need carry no hard-to-read markings. If desired, the cartridge can even be made of opaque material although use of a transparent material is generally desirable.
vIt is desirable, also, that there be a releasable lock means for positively locking the stop member Bl] in a selected one of its stop positions. While various spring-loaded or frictional detent means can be employed, as will be later described, a very simple lock means is shown in Figs. 1 and 3 comprising extensions 66 of the transverse portions 63 of the raceway and extending to positions to one side of the intersecting longitudinal portion (see Fig. 1). These extensions 66 may provide an outwardly spiraling bottom wall El (Fig. 3) against which the guide member 64 may press and Wedge as the stop member 60 is turned from its stopposition. The resulting action locks the stop member against accidental turning during carrying or handling of the syringe and also during use thereof. To advance the stop member 68 to its next position, it is turned in a reverse direction until the guide member enters the adjacent longitudinal portion 62 of the raceway. The rearmost longitudinal portion and transverse portion may terminate adjacent the manually-engageable member 58 which may then act as the last stop or shoulder for the stop member 60, preparatory to injecting the last metered dose.
We have shown structures in which the stop member engages the wall of the cartridge 353 at its outer open end. This is distinctly preferable in insuring accurately metered doses. However, it is within the scope of the invention to engage the stop member with the open end of either the cartridge 45.? or the barrel 28.
Thus, among others, the several objects of the invention as specifically aforenoted are achieved. Obviously, numerous changes in construction and rearrangement of the parts might be resorted to Without departing from the spirit of the invention as defined by the claims.

//thanks to pcapelo for letting me do this instructable. :) i thought of the idea three days ago, then found out that he already did something kind of similar to this... i got permission from him to do this. if you have an extra solar torch, go to his instructable and make a shhnaazzyy lantern!
here goes my very first instructable.
Step 1: Get your Materials!!
-a pumpkin
-carving utensils
-a solar powered garden light
-the sun
Step 2: Take Apart Solar Torch
but if you want, the top should twist off really easily so that you end up with the "UFO" and LED thing at the bottom (like the third picture). if not, then that's what hammers are for.
