Back in June, I had a very spiritual response to Charles Bradley's heart-breaking song, Why Is It So Hard? and was moved to tears. I watched this video half a dozen times in a row. When I learned he was playing at the Belly Up (San Diego) in August I was astounded that tickets hadn't yet sold out! I bought two tickets based on listening to this one song:
A couple of months later, the Mister and I were at the Belly Up and making our way towards the stage. By the time Charles Bradley came on, we were perhaps three 'rows' (it was standing room only) back. I've never been so excited about seeing a musician I admire perform. He didn't disappoint — even though he didn't sing Why Is It So Hard?
I watched this man — who I've dubbed the contemporary king of soul — scream and holler his pain through his music; and I listened as he patted his heart and told us all to love one another. To my delight, as he sang Lovin' You Baby, he looked straight at Mister and me, holding each other as we swayed to the music, and blew us a kiss.
At the end of his encore, he made his way to the edge of the stage. Dozens of hands reached for him. I stuck mine out too, What the hell, he might shake it and that would be cool! I watched as he took others' hands, but not mine, and made his way off the stage and into the crowd. And then he was coming towards me with a smile on his face. And then he was in front of me, holding out his arms. And suddenly I found myself hugging him back and saying Thank you, thank you, thank you in his ear. I released my embrace and watched him disappear into the crowd of adoring fans, far more fervent than I was. When I turned to Mister, he was visibly moved. He said, That was amazing. That wasn't an accident. He wanted to hug you, he literally made a beeline for you.
I know, I responded. I know. I was surprised by how calm I felt. Around us the excited screams continued and I could imagine what it must have been like to be at a Beatles concert. He hugged me, not the couple with their framed wedding photo. He hugged me. Isn't that weird?
Why do I ♥ Charles Bradley? Not just because he loves his audience in the most compassionate (not narcissistic) sense. Not just because takes his suffering and turns it into something beautiful. His voice screams with the pain you can only know from having loved and lost. Not just because something drew him to me. Not just because at some level he knew I needed a hug. But because, after finding musical success in his sixties, he is a powerful reminder to us all to not give up on our dreams. Because they sometimes do come true.

LEICESTER, Mass. — A Worcester resident who was arrested after leading Leicester Police on a chase last week found himself locked up in Leicester a second time, and is now facing several additional charges.
Leicester Police Chief James Hurley said that Sean Davin, 31, of 209 Burncoat St., in Worcester was arrested early Sunday morning after a traffic stop on Stafford Street.
Davin was arrested just over a week ago, along with Tori Chisholm, 30, of 19 Tatman St., after fleeing from police and crashing the vehicle.
At approximately 3 a.m., on Sunday, Leicester Police Officer Ronald Tarentino stopped the 2000 Acura Davin was driving on a motor vehicle violation.
Davin was unable to produce a license when the officer requested it, and a subsequent check of the Registry of Motor Vehicle's database showed that it had been revoked. Tarentino then took Davin into custody for operating a motor vehicle after suspension.
Following the arrest, an inventory search of the vehicle produced an open container of beer, a Crossman Laser sight, a box of .45 caliber ammunition and two fired .357 caliber shells.
Davin has been charged with operating after revocation (subsequent offense), defective equipment – headlight, failure to wear seat belt, possession of an open container of alcohol and unlawful possession of ammunition.
He was held on bail at the Leicester Police Department and was transported to the East Brookfield District Court for arraignment.

Customer Reviews of 3" Thick, 4 Pound Density Memory Foam Mattress Topper (Queen)
Item was as described7/22/2013
Item was as described and arrived in a speedy manner and was just as we had hoped.
Good Memory Foam Topper7/22/2013
A good memory foam mattress topper. Decent price and arrived quickly, however, the shipping package was broken open when arrived. Mattress was slightly ripped on one side. Kept and used it anyway, just put rip on underside rather than taking time to return.
Terrible Product!6/28/2013
The memory foam topper I received was damaged and torn. The product is of very poor quality. Don't waste your time or money dealing with this company. They do not stand behind their product or provide quality customer service. If you need a mattress topper, my advice is to spend a little more and get a much higher quality product from Tempurpedic instead.
I use the memory foam mattress for car camping and it has mad sleeping in the great outdoors even more enjoyable than ever before. Everyone should have one.
Sleeping with ease4/29/2013
Comfortable! I'm very please with the memory foam topper. I would recommend to others.
Good Value2/18/2013
it is really comfortable
good value4/26/2012
it's a good value for the money and we are using it comfortably. the delivery is always fast, in fact it showed up before the email actually came so that is fast delivery. you will like the value.
Get It!4/24/2012
I was skeptical that this was enough 'memory foam' to make a difference, but I was WRONG. This has turned out to be one of my best purchases ever. The wife loves it too - all except the odor - that took a while to go away. Leave it another room for a few days and that goes away better. Really am enjoying it and definitely recommend this product.
I bought this to put on top of a mattress that I had which was fairly worn out and much firmer than I liked. After sleeping on it I could not believe how comfortable it had made it. It is a really cheap way to make a mattress more comfortable. I am glad I bought it.
You won't find a better one for this price3/15/2012
The most comfortable sleep I have had ever.
best mattress topper3/15/2012
Never slept on memory foam before but I will be in the future. A very quality product and sure to make anyone sleep better than they do now. There are no negatives I can say except the package was very heavy but that's it!!!
Good nights sleep3/9/2012
Sleeping very well on this product.
Great mattress topper!3/9/2012
Very comfortable. Slept great on it. Strong chemical smell coming out of the packaging, but that goes away after the first night.
Seems good but need documentation3/8/2012
Seems decent but came with no paperwork. It was compressed and folded several times and smells strong. Would be useful to let purchaser know how long to air out, re-shape, etc. Came on time, anyway.

Fall is famous for color, which makes it the perfect time to adopt a new one yourself. Lipstick is a great accessory that can be bold, complementary or even work as a natural enhancement. Pucker up for this week's top picks; b-glowing staff adores these lipsticks for the fall season.
BY TERRY Hyaluronic Sheer Rouge, Fatal Shot: It plumps, moisturizes, disguises wrinkles and fine lines and finishes with a subtle gloss. Available in 15 colors, you can switch up your look daily, or stick to one hue for the season. For fall, our staff loves Fatal Shot: It's a great berry color that looks playful without being too pinky.
ELLIS FAAS Creamy Lips, Blood Red: An easy, smooth application stains lips without the sticky feeling. You'll get full coverage with a creamy finish, courtesy of a spongy applicator. We love the Blood Red color because it helps make a seductive statement without going overboard. It's a good red for fall because it has a touch of brown, which tones it down for the perfect shade.
ILIA LIPSTICK, Funnel of Love: ILIA shades are beautifully modern with organic ingredients. The tones are generally more subtle, with a few pops of bold color, but they can all be layered so you can create your personal shade. Funnel of Love is a warm, nude shade for when you want some color that won't clash with a smokey eye; or it's great just for a natural palate.
KEVYN AUCOIN The Matte Lipsticks, Persistence: The color and the moisture last all day. Plus, the formula contains ingredients that minimize wrinkles over time, guaranteed. We love Persistence because it's a fun, bold color that'll turn heads! The more edgy violet color is perfect for the girl who likes to shake it up a bit.

Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to be at the 2013 Presidential Inauguration in Washington D.C. on Monday, including one group from Rochester.
A local group called "Rochester for Obama" sent a few of its members to the capital for the event. They have been there throughout weekend, along with many others.
About 800,000 people are expected to line the streets of the nation's capital Monday. The group said everyone is just really excited for the big day and that they have seen big crowds gathering there already.
There have been a lot of festivities during the weekend, not just to kick-off the inauguration, but also to begin celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Sunday was a big day for President Obama as he was sworn in. News10NBC is told the excitement stretched out to the streets of D.C. where thousands are getting ready for inauguration ceremony. Hotels, restaurants and stores have been extremely busy with the crowds.
Two women who are part of the "Rochester for Obama" organization spoke with News10NBC on Sunday. Both women say they have been planning this trip for months now because they wanted to be part of history.
"This is a history making event. To have the first African American president to be re-elected to office for a second term is just phenomenal, so I wanted to be part of that history today," said Ella Dean.
"This is a pivotal moment for our country. We just got out of a recession and we are now recovering. It's just a very important moment for everyone, not only Black Americans but for everyone. It's a unity moment, it's uniting our country," said Carmen Coleman.
Coverage of the inauguration events will begin at 10 a.m. Monday and last until 3 p.m. on News10NBC.

Manchester United are preparing a £27million bid for Southampton defender Luke Shaw, according to sources at Sky Sports.
Shaw has been heavily linked with United for months, as well as the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City.
United are reportedly keen to get their business done ahead of the World Cup, despite not having a permanent manager in place.
The Red devils ended their season under interim boss Ryan Giggs with a 1-1 draw on against Shaw's Southampton at St Mary's, although it is not clear whether talks followed the game.
Shaw has established himself as one of the best young players in the country since making his debut for the Saints in November 2012.
The youngster is nervously waiting to discover if he will be a part of Roy Hodgson's World Cup squad, which is set to be announced on Monday.
United have made the signing of a new left back a priority, with veteran Patrice Evra set to leave the club now his contract has expired.
The club could also confirm the appointment of their new permanent manager within the next week, with Netherlands coach Louis Van Gaal the favourite to take over from David Moyes.

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon will furlough about 15,000 military school teachers and staff around the world because of the automatic budget cuts that took effect last Friday, but spokesman George Little said Monday the department will manage the process so the schools don't lose their accreditation.
Little said the military will also close all of the commissaries on bases around the world for one extra day each week. They are currently open six days a week.
Because the length of the school day can't legally be shortened, teachers and staff will likely have to take one unpaid day a week off to meet the furlough requirements. The Pentagon said that each school may handle the staff shortfall differently, perhaps having classes double up or using administrators or other teachers to stand in for absent co-workers.
"We're going to do everything we can to manage the furlough process in a manner that enables military children to receive an accredited school year for this academic year," Little told reporters. He added that summer school also will continue to be offered.
The furloughs would affect about 8,000 teachers and 7,000 support staff in the 194 military schools around the world. The schools are located in seven states, a dozen countries, as well as Guam and Puerto Rico, and they serve about 86,000 students.
The cuts, which could run through the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30, will have an impact on the current school year and the one that will begin in August or September.
Shutting the nearly 250 commissaries worldwide for an additional day per week particularly affects troops stationed abroad who rely on the base stores for their daily living necessities.
About 12 million people are authorized to shop in the stores, which see more than $6 billion in transactions annually.
Under the budget cuts, the Pentagon must find $46 billion in savings by the end of the fiscal year.
Officials already have said that 800,000 Defense Department civilian workers will be furloughed for one day without pay each week for about 22 weeks.

text: PIP first quarter results reflect growing pains Results for fiscal year 2013, which ended December 30, 2012, indicate that employees are continuing to hold steady while working to adjust to new goals and measures incorporated in this year's PIP program. If PIP were paid today, eligible employees would receive a payout of up to 2 percent of their salary. If all goals are achieved at maximum, the potential PIP maximum payout is 3 percent for FY13. This year, PIP results are measured in four hospitalwide areas of performance: patient safety and quality, patient experience, Epic implementation and financial. PIP first quarter goals and results Category Measure Threshold Target Max Actual Patient Safety and Quality (30%) Joint Commission Extension Survey Accreditation Received TBD DPH Licensure Survey License Renewed TBD 30-day Readmissions 16.9% 16.2% 15.5% 14.6% Patient Experience (30%) Overall rating (HCAHPS) 74 75 76 73.6 Medication communica- tion (HCAHPS) 62 63 66 63.6 Environment (HCAHPS) 60 64 71 58.2 Inpatient Pediatrics 88 88.5 89 88.5 Inpatient Behavioral Health 80.9 81.5 82.1 79.8 Ambulatory Surgery 92.5 92.7 92.9 92.2 Emergency Department 84.2 84.4 84.6 83.8 Epic Implementation (10%) Successful go-live York St.– 2/1/13 Successful go-live Chapel St. 6/1/13 Threshold + 90% trained 3 weeks prior to go-live Threshold + 95% trained 1 week prior to go-live TBD Financial (30%) Net Operating Margin 1.9% 2.1% 2.3% 2.6% KEY: red – below threshold; yellow – met threshold; green – met target; blue – met maximum Patient Safety and Quality The patient safety and quality category includes three measures which, together, account for 30 percent of PIP: Joint Commission extension survey Department of Public Health licensure survey 30-day readmissions Surveyors from The Joint Commission, the regulatory agency that accredits healthcare organizations throughout the United States, visited the Saint Raphael Campus in February for an accreditation survey. The extension survey, which was required because YNHH has extended services on the SRC, also included the Smilow Cancer Care Centers. Although YNHH passed the survey, the results will be accounted for in the second quarter PIP results. Similarly, the Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH) will also survey YNHH for license renewal in late spring or summer of 2013. In light of the importance of the DPH survey, this metric has been deemed to be a "circuit breaker," meaning that failure to obtain DPH licensure will automatically result in zero points for the patient safety and quality category. The result of this measure, as well, is to be determined. The 30-day readmissions metric measures the percentage of patients who are readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of their discharge for the same — or a related — condition. The result was 14.6 percent, above the maximum goal. Patient Experience The patient experience category measures a patient's complete experience from pre-admission through postdischarge follow-up. It includes seven measures related to patient satisfaction as reported in HCAHPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Health Providers and Systems) and Press Ganey surveys. Together, patient experience measures account for 30 percent of PIP. HCAHPS surveys: Overall rating of hospital just missed the threshold goal of 74 coming in at 73.6; Medication communications met its target goal at 63.6; Environment of care, which includes cleanliness and quiet, fell short of the threshold goal of 60 with a score of 58.2. Press Ganey surveys: Inpatient Pediatrics reached its target goal of 88.5; Inpatient Behavioral Health fell below threshold at 79.8; Ambulatory Surgery narrowly missed its threshold goal of 92.5 coming in at 92.2; Emergency Department results also fell short of the threshold goal coming in at 83.8. Epic Implementation The Epic implementation goal is based on the successful integration of the electronic medical records system on the York Street Campus, which occurred on February 1; the Saint Raphael Campus is scheduled for June 1. The target goal is that 90 percent of appropriate staff be trained three weeks prior to each go-live date. Epic implementation accounts for 10 percent of PIP and results will be determined during the third quarter. Financial Performance The sole financial measure is the hospital's net operating margin, which accounts for 30 percent of PIP. For the first quarter, the net operating margin was 2.6 percent exceeding the maximum goal. "While employees are clearly working hard at meeting the challenges and demands that offering top quality patient care brings, there is still work to do," said Richard D'Aquila, president and COO. "As we continue to move throughout the year, if we sustain momentum in areas where we are meeting our goals, reinforce best practices and control spending, we still have a very real opportunity to reach our maximum PIP goals as well as the maximum PIP payout for this year."

Having worked with a number of companies who have been named as defendants in employment class-action lawsuits, I was repeatedly reminded of the "five stages of grief" model first penned by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in her 1969 book On Death and Dying. The analogy is apt, I find, for class action lawsuits, individual lawsuits, and really most employee complaints where you the employer ultimately know you are in the wrong…
See if this sounds familiar…
1. Denial – "But we did everything right." "The employee agreed to skip the meal periods in exchange for a longer break/shorter work day." "They are lying and any jury will see through them."
Yes, this is probably the most persistent fallacy employers linger and wallow in. Employers tell themselves that they were the good guys, they did nothing wrong, they tried to give the employees what they wanted, what was most convenient for them, what benefitted everyone. Employers deny to themselves, and their attorneys, that the law is not flexible enough to fully customize an employment relationship, that they actually did something (well-intended or not) that they were technically not legally permitted to do, that there is one (or more) employee who they angered enough (or whom they didn't get rid of soon enough) that is now willing to burn all bridges, cost potential jobs and benefits to remaining employees, in the interest of recovering typically $800 for himself and $350,000 for his class counsel. But there is no denying it. You have been served.
2. Anger – "Why us?" "It's not fair!" "It's impossible to be an employer in California! We're relocating to Alaska!"
Once the employer stops denying to itself that it is a target, and it could actually lose the case (or at the very least a substantial amount of money sorting the case out), there is typically anger. Anger at the vulnerability, at the tremendous disruption, at the looming costs of litigation and potential loss. There is also anger at the plaintiff employees, for the betrayal, for the disloyalty, for the money grubbing… And occasionally, employers are angry at themselves, for not having looked at a looming internal issue, for not having brought in employment counsel to handle it, or for not having taken employment counsel's advice and wallowing in the earlier phases of denial for much too long.
3. Bargaining – "What if we just pay everyone off a little and have them sign waivers?" "What if we tell the plaintiff we will shut our doors and fire everyone if they proceed with their lawsuit?"
After the anger subsides (for it never fully disappears), employers snap into problem-solving mode. This means trying to bargain with the plaintiff employees, with the attorneys, with their own boards of directors, with their CFO… Bargaining is the first positive step to recovery and damage control. It is a sign that the employer has accepted that financial exposure is inevitable and that it is planning for some type of financial outlay. Bargaining does not always work on its own, but it is a good start. It is the nascent planning stage for unraveling the litigation mess and partnering with hopefully supportive and experienced employment counsel to forge a path out of the lawsuit and toward the future. Bargaining is good. Bargaining sometimes resolves the lawsuit.
4. Depression – "This is so miserable. Why should we bother trying to succeed anyway?" "What's the use of being a good guy employer if you're going to get sued anyway?"
If the bargaining strategy was unsuccessful, and the litigation must go on, employers face the next unfortunate reality: they must devote more time, energy and money to the lawsuit. It is understandable that an employer gets "depressed" and weary of setbacks, it is understandable that no company wants to admit that it may have contributed to its own unfortunate position as a defendant in a lawsuit, and it is understandable that sometimes this feeling is accompanied with the desire to throw your hands up, stop responding to your lawyer's calls and emails, and just shut the doors. It is understandable, but rarely is it actually the right decision. It is a temporary stop on a business continuum, and after pausing there for a little bit, it is almost always good to move on toward acceptance.
5. Acceptance – "We will be fine." "We have good employees who support us and will stand by us." "We have to learn from our mistakes so we don't repeat them."
Finally, after brushing off the cobwebs of the temporary litigation depression, the successful and visionary employer accepts that something was done wrong to have caused this and that being in business comes with consequences one can't always control. This employer will weather this litigation, a little bruised, a little banged up and cynical, but also a little smarter and more cautious. This employer accepts that, like most lawsuits, this one probably could have been prevented or quite a bit more contained if the employer had acted proactively. This employer begins to see the way out of the lawsuit, begins to accept responsibility for changing the company for the better, begins to accept that the lawsuit represents the past and it is time to look to the future. This employer will be fine.

Step 1: Remove wheels
Step 2: Remove the skin
I left the skin attached at the nose as it was stuck pretty good.
Step 3: Remove the innards.
Then remove the 2 screws towards the back of the Zhu Zhu leaving the front one in place. Pull slightly apart so you can remove the speaker and retention bar. Should have all parts removed.
Step 4: Wiring LEDs
Shorten the leads on the LEDs and solder short wires to them.
Solder the LEDs to these contacts and test with batteries. This should make the LEDs light up whenever the Zhu Zhu pet moves.
Step 5:
They were then glued in place with some crazy glue.
Make sure to bend the leads on the LEDs back close to the shell so there is plenty of room for the innards. Also make sure the area for the buttons are clear.
Then skin slipped back onto the shell. Some hot glue can be used to reattached the skin if wanted.

Ferguson Advances to Regional Final before Falling to La Cava
SALEM, ORE. -- Cody Ferguson (Jr., North Bend, OR/North Bend HS/Western Oregon Univ.) of Willamette University advanced to the singles final of the USTA/ITA Men's Tennis Small College Northwest Regional on Monday, Sept. 27. Ferguson was defeated by Andrew La Cava of Whitman College in the finals match, 6-1, 6-1.
Ferguson, seeded #8, defeated Chris Bailey of Whitman, seeded #9, 6-2, 2-6, 6-1, in the semifinals at the WU Tennis Courts on Monday morning to advance to the final. La Cava won the tournament despite starting as the #16 seed.
During the tournament, Ferguson earned a 5-1 match record. He won his first round and second round matches in straight sets without losing a single game. He defeated Sam Sadeghi from Whitman, 6-1, 6-1, in the Round of 16, and downed Jeff Tolman of Whitman, 7-5, 6-4 in the quarterfinals.
Ferguson is the first Willamette men's tennis player to reach the ITA Regional finals since the Bearcats joined NCAA Division III in 1998-99.
In the doubles final, La Cava and Conor Holton-Burke from Whitman, the #5-seeded team, defeated Bailey and Sadeghi, 6-1, 6-1.
La Cava will represent the Northwest Region in the singles bracket at the USTA/ITA National Small College Championships in Mobile, Ala., on Oct. 14-17. La Cava also will compete in the doubles bracket with Holton-Burke.
Ferguson was one of several Bearcats who competed at the Northwest Regional. Joshua Wong (So., Hilo, HI/Hilo HS) and Matt Houser (Sr., Vancouver, WA/Evergreen HS) both reached the Round of 16 in singles. Wong was defeated by Bailey in three sets, 7-6 (7-0), 2-6, 6-4. Houser fell to the #1 seed, Mark Magdaong from Linfield College, 6-2, 6-3.
On his way to the Round of 16, Wong moved past George Murphy from the University of Puget Sound, 6-0, 6-0, and downed Will Huskey of Whitman, 6-2, 6-1. Houser opened the tournament with a 6-3, 7-6 (7-2) triumph over Joe Wales of Whitworth University, and then slipped past Peter Brown of George Fox University, 6-4, 6-3.
Michael Baumgartner (So., Albany, OR/West Albany HS) won his first round match over Marshall McNally of Pacific Lutheran University), 6-1, 6-4, but lost a close match to Quin Miller of Whitman in the second round. Miller edged out Baumgartner, 7-6 (7-5), 7-5.
In doubles, Ferguson and Wong earned two wins before falling to the eventual champions, La Cava and Holton-Burke, 8-2, in the quarterfinals. Ferguson and Wong defeated Scott Kawamura and Evan Liu of Pacific University, 8-1, in the first round and outlasted Brian Lays and Micah Spaun of Whitworth, 8-4, in the second round.
Willamette freshman Will Cooper lost a challenging first round match against #7-seeded Etienne Moshevich, 6-2, 6-1, but rebounded well in the consolation singles bracket. Cooper reached the consolation quarterfinals with wins over Michael Parretta of PLU, 8-5, and against Andy Tweet of GFU, 9-7.
Cooper lost to eventual consolation champion Scott Sheldon of Pacific Lutheran. Sheldon held off Cooper, 8-4.

Cancer Incidence Predicted to Rise 75% by 2030
HealthDay news syndicate - The worldwide incidence of cancer is expected to increase 75 percent by 2030, with a projected increase of more than 90 percent in the poorest nations, a new study reveals. Rates of certain types of cancer (such as cervical and stomach cancer) appear to be declining in some developing countries, but these reductions are likely to be offset by substantial increases in the types of cancer associated with a "westernized" lifestyle, including breast, prostate and colorectal cancer, according to the report published online May 31 in The Lancet Oncology.

A 16 year old student who was critically injured in a car accident has died from his injuries.
Family friends tell News 3 that Christopher Schultz, of Caldwell, died Tuesday after a short hospital stay.
The crash that injured Christopher Schultz happened Saturday just before 9pm in Burleson County near Lyons and shut down traffic on FM 60 East for about two hours.
Department of Public Safety trooper, Sgt. David Adkins says Schultz was traveling eastbound at a high rate of speed when he lost control of his vehicle and veered into the path of a westbound Dodge truck. Schultz suffered a serious head injury and was transported to St. Joseph Hospital in Bryan where he underwent emergency surgery and was later airlifted to Texas Children's Hospital.
Adkins says the two people in the pickup were not injured. Of the three people involved in the wreck, Adkins says Schultz was the only one not wearing a seatbelt.
Earlier this week, friends and supporters gathered at the square in Caldwell wearing boots and carrying candles in honor of Shultz. The group shared stories, sang songs, and prayed for Shultz and his family. The Department of Public Safety says the family made the decision to donate his organs to help others in need.

Nets look like a 5-6 seed....Knicks will be 7-8 or miss the playoffs.
It's just a small part of how big of a mess the Knicks are. Im sorry but its you're 12th season in the league....the light shouldnt go on now to work on your post game.
Kurt Thomas is starting on Friday. Its just laughable. If this team has more wins than the Cavs I'll be surprised.
Just to have a little fun with ya Matt, I figured we could keep an ongoing tally of the records;
Knicks: 54-28
Cavs: 24-58
Nets: 49-33

The improvement in a blood filtration unit for filtering multiple units of blood comprising means for filtering air entering the unit.
1. In a blood transfusion filtration unit having a filter cartridge disposed within a housing the improvement comprising a manually operable air vent valve disposed in the upper portion of said housing said air vent valve comprising an actuating member, said member comprising a circular portion disposed on the outside of said housing, said circular portion having a resilient periphery in contact with the outside surface of said housing, a reduced diameter portion extending from the center of said circular portion through an opening in the housing and an expanded and portion disposed from said reduced diameter portion within the housing; and end portion functioning to provide a seal with the inside surface of said housing, an annular air filtration media disposed between the housing and the resilient periphery of said circular portion of said actuating member on the outside of the housing; said resilient periphery being deformed in response to manual pressure applied to said circular portion so as to bias said expanded end portion in such a manner as to break said seal and provide a continuous unobstructed flow path for air from within said housing, through said filtration media, to atmosphere.
2. A blood transfusion filtration unit in accordance with claim 1 wherein the housing incorporates a circular ledge extending outwardly from said housing, the resilient periphery of the circular portion of the actuating member contacts said ledge and said ledge includes an opening for the passage of air.
This is a continuation-in-part Application of copending application Ser. No. 545,961, filed Jan. 31, 1975, now abandoned, which was a division of application Ser. No. 473,479, filed May 28, 1974 now U.S. Pat. No. 3,954,623.
In the administration of whole blood to a patient it is desirable, if not necessary, to filter the blood as it is being administered. The debris which is to be removed by the filter will vary depending upon the length of time the blood has been stored. Over the years, many different filter media have been developed which are specifically useful in filtering debris from whole blood. Although the engineering of the filter media and the filter efficiency is extremely important there are a number of other problems involved with filtering blood during blood transfusions. First, in administering blood to the patient and in filtering this blood, the flow rate should be known and controlled. The filtration unit should be readily insertable into a blood reservoir, usually a blood bag, and the necessary administration sets for administering blood to the patient easily and readily connected to the filtration unit in a manner that does not disrupt or change the flow of the blood. The filtration unit should be constructed so not to collect or entrap micro-gas bubbles which might be administered inadvertently to the patient. The unit itself should have a low total volume so that blood is not held in the unit and all of the blood from a blood bag is administered to the patient. The filtration unit should be easily and readily primed and primed in such a manner as not to entrap gas bubbles. Along with all of these problems which should be overcome, the unit should have excellent filtering efficiency, do as little damage to the blood components as possible, and be usable for multiple blood transfusions to a single patient in order to be reasonably economical.
We have discovered a new and improved blood filtration unit. The flow of blood through our unit is measurable and known. The efficient manner in which the filter media is used in our unit is improved, and the possible blockage of the media is reduced. Our new filter unit does little, if any, damage to the blood components being filtered. In certain embodiments of out new filter unit, it may be readily and easily primed or filled without entrapping gas bubbles and filtered blood may be drained from the unit so there is very little blood held-up or retained in the unit and substantially all the blood is available to the patient. In other embodiments of our new filtration unit administration sets are easily insertable into the filtered blood outlet in a manner that insures a uniform flow rate and reduces the possibility of entrapment of micro-gas bubbles by the filtered blood stream. Our blood filtration unit may be used for multiple administration of units of blood and is economical.
In accordance with the present invention, our new blood filtration unit comprises a filter cartridge disposed within a filter housing. Attached to the top of the filter housing is a drip chamber for measuring blood flow. Attached to the top of the drip chamber is the blood inlet which extends into the chamber at its one end and is diagonally cut at its opposite end for easy insertion into a blood reservoir such as a bag of blood. The filter cartridge comprises filter media, a top end cap for sealing one end of the media and a bottom end member to seal the opposite end of the media but leave a hollow center core of the media open and directly connectable to the blood outlet. The bottom end member attaches to the housing to form the completed filtration assembly. The top cap is multipointed or star-shaped and has a diameter measured at the end of the points substantially the same or slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the housing. The filter cartridge is elongated and has a hollow center core. Its cross-sectional shape is substantially the same as the multi-pointed shape of the top end cap. The bottom member seals the bottom of the filter media and closes the housing. There is a centrally located outlet in the bottom member which connects directly to the center core of the media and to which an administration set may be connected. In use, blood flows from the blood bag to the drip chamber, down through the openings created by the multi-pointed filter cartridge into the segmented filtration compartments, through the media into the hollow center core and out through the blood outlet in the bottom end cap. In certain embodiments of our new blood filtration unit, a filtered air vent valve is placed in the side wall of the drip chamber so the unit may be readily primed and filled and entrapped gas evacuated. When the blood bag is emptied, the valve may be opened and the filtration unit drained to allow administration of substantially all of the filtered blood. When the vent valve is opened, the incoming air is filtered.
In certain embodiments of the blood filtration unit of the present invention, the blood outlet has a shoulder on its inlet side. The inside diameter of the outlet measured at this shoulder is the same as the inside diameter of the tubing of the administration set to be used with the unit to administer blood to a patient. This construction reduces the possibility of microgas emboli being entrapped in the area where the blood outlet and the administration set meet. This construction also provides for a uniform and constant flow rate of blood to the patient.
The invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is an exploded view in perspective showing the assembly of the various parts of the new blood filtration unit of the present invention,
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a blood filtration unit according to the present invention,
FIG. 3 is an enlarged, cross-sectional view of a filter air vent valve in accordance with the present invention with the valve in the closed position,
FIG. 4 is an enlarged, cross-sectional view of the air vent valve shown in FIG. 3 with the valve in the open position, and
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 5--5 of FIG. 3.
The same numeral has been used for similar parts throughout the Figures.
Referring to the drawings in FIG. 1, there is shown a blood filtration unit in accordance with the present invention. At the top of the unit is the blood inlet 11. One end 12 of the blood inlet is tapered or diagonally cut for easy insertion into a reservoir of blood such as the plastic blood bags commonly in use. The blood bag contains a weakened portion, circular in shape, and the tapered spike-like inlet is readily insertable into this weakened portion. The opposite end of the blood inlet extends into the drip chamber 13 which is at the top of the housing 14 for the unit. As may be more clearly seen in FIG. 2, the extension 15 into the drip chamber 13 allows blood to drip into the unit and the number of drops may be counted and metered as desired. The height of the drip chamber should be as small as possible to reduce the impact force of the blood droplets on the distribution surface and minimize the blood-air interface contact time in order to reduce blood trauma.
Disposed in the side wall of the drip chamber is an air vent valve 17. The valve is more clearly shown in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5. The valve comprises a resilient member 18 which extends through a hole 19 in the wall 20 of the drip chamber. As shown in the drawings, the resilient member has a circular portion which is positioned on the outside of the housing. Disposed from this circular portion is a reduced diameter portion that extends through the opening 19. This reduced diameter portion ends in an expanded portion disposed inside the housing and which expands outwardly to seal along the inside surface of the wall. The periphery of the circular portion of the resilient member on the outside of the housing contacts the outside surface of the housing. This contact may be accomplished by numerous designs. One such design is shown in the drawing wherein on the outside surface of the wall and around the entry hole is a circular ledge 21. The periphery of the circular portion of the resilient member contacts this ledge 21. An annular shaped filter media 22 is positioned within the circular ledge. The media contacts the wall surface on one side and the resilient member on the other side. The circular ledge carries an opening 23 to allow air to escape or enter through the valve. There, of course, could be an opening, to allow the escape of air, at the edge of the circular portion of the resilient member or other similar designs as desired. When the filtration unit is to be filled, the resilient member is pushed in as shown in FIG. 4, allowing air within the unit to escape out through the entry hole and the opening in the circular ledge. A number of stops 24 ar disposed about the entry hole to prevent sealing of the hole when pushing in the resilient member. When the unit is filled to a desired level with blood, the valve is released and automatically closes. To drain the unit, the valve is pressed inwardly to allow air to enter the blood filtration unit and allow the unit to drain. The air entering the unit is filtered through the annular filter media.
Disposed from the drip chamber is the portion of the housing that encloses the filter cartridge. The filter cartridge itself comprises filter media 25, a top end cap 26 and a bottom member 27. The top end cap is solid and multi-pointed or star-shaped. It is preferred that the end cap have from about four to ten points to produce between four and ten segmental filter compartment areas in the unit. The media is in the form of an elongated member having a hollow center core. Its cross-sectional shape is the same as the multi-point shape of the top end cap. If desired, a permeable center core 28 may be disposed in the media for structural purposes and such a core may be wrapped with a fine media to aid in the filtration as desired. One end of the media is sealed by the top end cap and the other end of the media is sealed into the bottom member. The outer periphery 29 of the bottom member 27 is attachable to the housing 14. The bottom member contains a centrally located outlet 30 which connects to the center core of the media at one end with the other end 31 adaptable to connect with various types of administration sets or administration set tubing.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the outlet is constructed as shown in FIG. 2. Within the blood outlet 30 there is small shoulder 33 which extends into the opening. The inside diameter of this shoulder is exactly the same as the inside diameter of the tubing 34 of the administration set to be used. The tubing is inserted in the downstream side of the outlet up against the shoulder. If desired, the tubing may be adhered or bonded to the inside surface of the outlet. Also, if desired, the outlet may be slightly tapered to aid in insertion. An advantage of this construction is that no air can be entrapped where the tubing and the blood outlet meet and this eliminates the possibility of entrapping small air bubbles during administration of the blood. This configuration also provides a uniform diameter from the filtration unit to the needle administering blood to the patient and a constant and uniform blood flow.
The housing for the filter unit may be made from any of the plastic materials which are inert and have no effect on blood. Examples of such materials are the polycarbonates, the butadienestyrenes and the like. Similar materials may be used for the top end cap and the bottom end member. generally, it is preferred to use clear materials for the housing.
The filter media which may be used with the unit are any of the various depth, semi-depth, or sieve type medias or various combinations of these medias. Suitable media are woven fabrics made from synthetic filaments, foam materials, nonwoven fabrics and the like. A preferred filter media for the transfusion of blood is a combination of a woven polyester fabric having a mean pore size opening of 160 to 180 microns as the first or upstream layer. The second or downstream layer is a needlepunched nonwoven fabric of polyester fibers weighing about nine ounces per square yard. The layers may be separated by an open plastic mesh material for support and stability. In some instances, a third or further downstream layer may be used such as a woven nylon fabric having a mean pore size rating of about 20 microns. This media is used to prevent lint or fibers which may sluff off or be removed from the nonwoven media from entering the bloodstream. If desired this media may be wrapped around a supporting core to act in the way described.
The air vent valve is made from resilient material which is inert to blood such as natural, synthetic or silicone rubber. The valve is resilient and readily deformable and provides a good seal with the material from which the housing is made. The air filter media used with the valve may be any of the standard air filtration materials such as a needlepunched polyester or other synthetic fiber batts and the like.
In our new filtration unit, the design is important in order to reduce the holding capacity of the unit itself while providing good flow characteristics for the filtration of blood. The drip chamber is as small a diameter as possible and is flared out to the filter cartridge to provide good flow characteristics. During use, it is preferred that the blood level be maintained above the top cap of the filter cartridge so that blood drops hit a liquid surface rather than a solid surface to reduce the possibility of blood damage. The filter cartridge is star-shaped to provide a large filtration area and good filtration efficiency while also maintaining the volume as low as possible. As previously mentioned, from about four to ten points may be used to provide the necessary area of filtration. The points of the star are substantially in contact with the inside surface of the housing. This configuration produces the same number of filtration compartments as there are points on the end cap. The blood from the filter bag can flow into all of the filtration compartments. Should the filter media in one of these compartments start to become blocked, the remaining compartments are still available for filtration and provide for efficient filtration, even as the media may become blocked.
Having now described out new blood filtration unit, it will become apparent to those skilled in the art of the many variations and changes that may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. All we desire to be limited to is that described in the appended claims.

Full detailed profile on Ryan Lavery Played by Cameron Mathison on All My Children Daytime Soap Opera.
Cameron Mathison
Birthday: 1969-08-25
Ryan sits with Madison in her hospital room and assures her everything will work out. He urges her to rest so she is strong enough for when their daughter can go home. She asks him to take care of her. He promises.
Greenlee finds Ryan looking at his daughter through a glass window. She holds his hand, but he walks away to talk with the doctor.
After Madison throws Scott out of her hospital room, Ryan assures her Scott truly cares about her. Madison can only focus on her baby right now and then gets a pain. Ryan hails the doctor out in the hallway, as Scott tells Greenlee he doesn't care if Madison never talks to him again, he just wants her and the baby to be okay. After Ryan leaves Madison to rest, Scott walks in. He tells a sleeping Madison he is praying for her and the baby. He wants to give them the life she dreamed of and the life she deserves. He says he can do that because he loves her. Madison opens her eyes and asks Scott to leave. He tries to make her see how important she is to him, but she calls it all a lie. He reminds her of all the small moments that prove what they have is real and says he loves her.
Ryan and Greenlee meet up in a break room and she tells him she will fly in the best experts no matter the cost. Ryan asks what happened in the park with Madison earlier. She explains but then wonders if he is accusing her of causing the accident. Ryan isn't pointing fingers, but he's upset she kept so many secrets from him. Greenlee promises to make it up to him. Ryan just wants to focus on all the things he will do with his new little girl. Greenlee vows Madison and the baby will get through it and that they will all raise the child together.
The doctor, Ryan and Greenlee return to Madison's room as a monitor goes off. The doctor says the baby's heart rate is dropping significantly so they have to deliver the baby now.
At Fusion, David announces he informed Madison about Scott's deal with Greenlee. As Ryan holds Scott back from going after Hayward, David takes delight in the fact that Greenlee has followed in his footsteps. Scott wonders why he would crush Madison like that. David smugly says he just told her truth, which is what Scott should have done from the beginning. David walks away and Scott tells Ryan he doesn't know what he'll say to Madison, but he has to try and make her forgive him.
Jesse walks into Fusion and sees Liza at the bar. He accuses her of trailing him so she can report back to Iris. As they bicker, David walks over and words are exchanged between him and Jesse. Liza assures David she can handle this and David walks away. Jesse badmouths Liza and brings Colby up in the process. Liza angrily tells him to leave Colby out of this because he has no idea what it's like to lose a child. Liza walks over to David and asks if he blew up Madison's world in hopes it would spill over to breaking up Ryan and Greenlee. That way he could have Greenlee for himself. Ryan joins them and says David is delusional if he thinks Greenlee would come back to him. Greenlee walks in and says no way in hell. Once alone with David, Liza continues to question his motives, but he thinks they are exactly alike. Liza assures him her ordeal with Colby has taught her that she needs to change. He doesn't think a leopard changes his spots, but Liza is damn well going to try.
After losing control of her car, Madison is brought to the hospital, as Jesse stands nearby. Madison is taken away on a stretcher and Jesse calls Ryan. Scott walks up and learns about Madison from Jesse. Greenlee and Ryan join them and they discover Madison is in labor. They all head into Madison's room, but Madison demands Scott get out.
Ryan stops in at Fusion to check on Madison. He doesn't want her to be stressed over what's going on with him and Greenlee. She's not, pointing out it's their drama and she has Scott. Ryan just wants her to be happy. She says she is and she's glad they are all finally being honest with each other. She thinks Greenlee was just trying to protect what she and Ryan had. She goes on to talk about how important Scott is to her and how their relationship is the closest thing to a real partnership she's had.
Back at home, Emma is nice to Greenlee after hearing her and Ryan fight. Emma leaves the room and Greenlee pleads with Ryan to try and make things work. He says okay, but he later can't handle pretending everything is back to normal and leaves.

Steven Gerrard must not shoulder the responsibility of supporting Luis Suarez by himself according to Brendan Rodgers, who has called on his players to join the duo on the goal trail.
The Liverpool captain has found the net three times in 2012-13 so far and while the manager is delighted with the midfielder's overall performance, he has challenged his teammates to step up and help spread the task of finding the back of the net throughout the side.
Rodgers told reporters: "Steven was outstanding last night [against Tottenham]. He's carried this club for nearly 13 years and it's about time that there was more than Steven picking up the baton of responsibility.
"He's been brilliant since I arrived here. His inspiration and leadership within the team has been phenomenal.
"He might not have got the goals that he wanted this season, but you saw him last night - his range of passing, commitment and drive into the box was superb.
"He has been judged on his goals because he's been a goalscoring midfielder over the years, but he's still offering this group so much on and off the field.
"There are others that we want to step up to the plate and get the goals. Across the board we want to improve and find the solutions."
Gerrard was denied what appeared to be a strong penalty claim during the Reds' 2-1 defeat by Tottenham on Wednesday, but the boss refused to criticise the referee and pledged that results will change.
"The referees are doing an honest job. They turn up for every game and make an honest assessment," continued the 39-year-old.
"Hopefully we can get one or two bits of luck in the second half of the season and benefit from that. I respect that they come in and do a good job - it just seems that this season quite a lot has gone against us.
"You need a wee bit of luck along the way. We went to Tottenham and dominated the game, but we didn't get the result and that's what's important.
"Over the next month or so we've got to turn these performances into wins. We had a run of eight games where we were unbeaten, looked solid and the quality of our game was good.
"Now we must go on a run of wins, and that's something we are capable of. If we do that, we can get higher up the table - where I think we should be.
"Apart from the opening 15 minutes, the quality of our game last night was at least deserving of a point.
"I'm not overly concerned, but we're in the business of results. We want to get as many points as we possibly can.
"The mood in the team is very good and the group is very unified. The quality of our games this season has been very good.
"We're creating chances - it's just about becoming a bit more clinical. If we can do that, we're strong enough in all areas to go on a good run."
Looking ahead to the weekend encounter against the Saints, Rodgers praised the newly-promoted side and their manager, Nigel Adkins, but stressed that Liverpool are thinking of nothing other than three points.
He added: "It will be a tough game. Nigel has done a terrific job - he's like a lot of British managers who have had to earn the right to come into the Barclays Premier League through a promotion.
"In the last few games, they have had good results. They are a team that like to play and pass and they'll come with freedom. But like the Wigan game, our expectancy and objective is to win the game.
"As a football club there's no big hooray at getting into the top half. This is a club that needs to be near the top of the league. Every step with a win is a positive step. The quicker we climb places with three points, that's our objective."

Has anyone attended Hatmaker's school?
Bullshido Artists
I am thinking about attending Hatmaker's camp this Summer. Any opinions on his or other 2 to 7 day camps? I am not sure if I will ever be in good enough shape for extended training. I do like learning techniques from a variety of sources. I think Hatmaker has the only realistic gun defense - Run!
Thanks for any recommendations.

Cardozo Law School, Contests, Law Revue, Law Revue Video Contest, Law Schools, Videos, YouTube
We started taking submissions for our fourth annual Law Revue Video Contest at the end of March, and now, just two weeks later, we're ready to pass judgment upon the funny videos submitted by our wonderful readers.
This year, 23 law schools submitted 31 videos for the contest. Some of them were funny, some of them were "meh," and some of them made us want to cry.
As usual, we're going to be starting with the videos that made us want to close our heads inside of our laptops. And because I am one bad-ass bitch, I've been selected to critique them. Aww, don't worry, I'll try to be gentle.
The commenters, on the other hand… Let's face it, your submission earned you a spot in the dishonorable mentions category. You kind of brought this upon yourselves, so get out the lube, because this might hurt….
Let's lead off with two of the more spectacular failures in the bunch. We present to you these atrocities from Stanford and Yale, respectively. Sorry folks, but you really ought to stick to what you're good at: being smart.
Way to make a parody of the worst scene in Forrest Gump. Gunning is not a team sport. Do law students in the T14 somehow have an appreciation for gunners? I refuse to believe that. Nobody wants to be a willing participant in a brigade of gunners — except maybe the girl who repeatedly raised the "wrong" right hand in the video. Yes, even Stanford has some ditzes in its student body.
And why the hell was Forrest Gunner getting a masturbation-style workout on with the help of his Shake Weight? Apparently you need strong biceps to highlight efficiently. At least this kid is kind of cute… for a ginger.
What the hell is this? Ye Gods, it's an actual issue spotter. Yale, come on now, I feel like you're trying to make me take a freakin' test, and we all know that I'm not very good at that. Not to mention that this is the worst test ever. I was too distracted by Leonardo DiCaprio's hotness to pay attention to the text scrolling across the bottom of the screen.
So no, I don't know what the answer to this torts question is. What I do know, though, is that saying "and this happened, and this happened, and this happened, and this happened" isn't funny — at all. I guess I just can't appreciate the Yale sense of humor (if they even have one). Where's Lat when you need him?
Here's a submission from LSU Law. You can't rap that well, but damn, do you look great in khaki:
Good Lord, is this where Bonobo_Bros go to breed? For the record, these guys are rapping about CALI awards, a prize you get for having the highest grade in a particular class. If you don't know what a CALI award is, that's because you went to a law school that rewards intelligence with more than stupid scraps of paper.
Also of note, this French guy kind of reminds me of Edward from Twilight, because I swear to God, I think his see-through skin is sparkling in the sunlight. And BTW, when you're riffing on "Teach Me How to Dougie," and your video features dancing, you lose major points for failure to do the Dougie!
Last, and definitely least, we've got a Lady Gaga rip-off from Cardozo. You got us all excited, but this was a major, major let down:
If you're going to imitate a song by the patron saint of all things fabulous, it damn well better be fantastic. Needless to say, this wasn't. I'd personally like to know what planet those girls had to travel to in order to purchase their horrendous outfits. When Lady Gaga puts on a ridiculous outfit, she makes it work. Girl wore a dress made of meat and she still looked good. The costumes in this video, however, were a complete wreck. They were almost as bad as the off-key notes at the end of the song. Unfortunately, these girls were missing the most important accessory of all: a bucket to carry the tune in.
That about does it for our dishonorable mentions, but not to worry, some schools knocked it out of the park this year. Check in next week, when we will unveil the finalists for the reader vote!

Boeing delivered the first of two C-17 strategic transports to Qatar on 11 August. The milestone represents the type's first foray into service with a Middle Eastern operator.
Registered as MAA and first flown on 27 July, the aircraft was accepted at Boeing's Long Beach production facility in California by Brig Gen Ahmad Al Malki, head of Qatar's airlift selection committee.
"The Qatar Emiri Air Force now has unequalled tactical and strategic airlift capabilities that enhance our ability to transport troops and equipment, and to support humanitarian operations throughout the Middle East and south Asia," Al Malki says.
Qatar signed a deal with Boeing for two C-17s in July 2008. It will receive its second example before year-end. Aircraft MAB has already been seen at Long Beach painted in its delivery scheme - the colours of flag carrier Qatar Airways. Sources say the transport will be operated purely by the Gulf state's air force, despite its civilian livery.
The 11 August delivery means Boeing has now supplied 16 C-17s to international operators, in addition to 189 for the US Air Force.
Qatar's airlift modernisation effort will also include the introduction of four stretched-fuselage Lockheed Martin C-130J-30s from 2011, under a separate acquisition worth almost $400 million.

'Chuck' Star Zachary Levi To Topline Fox's Comedy Pilot 'Let It Go'
Posted by Hayley in Feb 13,2012 with 1 Comment
Zachary Levi is back on pilot duty and back on the half-hour comedy beat. The Chuck star has been tapped as the male lead of Fox's single-camera comedy pilot Let It Go, lifting the cast-contingency on the project. Let It Go, from Sony Pictures TV, is an ensemble comedy about a married couple, the husband played by Levi, his best friend and her sister as they try to navigate, negotiate and sometimes manipulate society's unspoken rules. DJ Nash wrote the script and is executive producing with Peter Tolan and Michael Wimer. This marks Levi's return to half-hour comedy series following his breakout role on ABC's Less Then Perfect. From it, he segued to spy dramedy Chuck, which just finished its five-season run on NBC. Levi was one of the most sought-after actors this pilot season, fielding at least half a dozen offers.
