Bongo's Cafe, Brisbane

If you fancy a great cooked breakfast you can't go past Bongos Cafe in Macquarie Street, Teneriffe. They also do lunch & dinner which are equally as good. Not super cheap but great food & very pleasant atmosphere. It's close to the City Cat (cross from Bulimba via Bulimba Ferry & 5 min walk) & the Teneriffe bus terminus. If you are feeling energetic walk around the river path from New Farm to work up an appetite. Get there early for brekkie & book for lunch & dinner.

Higher Education:
Challenges in Attracting International Students to the United States and Implications for Global Competitiveness

More international students obtain a higher education in the United States than in any other country, and they make valuable contributions while they are here. For those students returning home after their studies, such exchanges support federal public diplomacy efforts and can improve understanding among nations. International students have earned about one-third or more of all U.S. degrees at both the master's and doctoral levels in several of the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields. Yet recent trends, including a drop in international student enrollment in U.S. colleges and universities, and policy changes after September 11, 2001, have raised concerns about whether the United States will continue to attract talented international students to its universities. This testimony is based on ongoing and published GAO work. It includes themes from a September 2006 Comptroller General's forum on current trends in international student enrollment in the United States and abroad. Invitees to the forum included experts from the Congress, federal agencies, universities, research institutions, higher education organizations, and industry.
GAO identified key issues that may affect the United States' ability to continue attracting the world's most talented international students to our universities and colleges. First, the global higher education landscape is changing and providing more alternatives for students, as other countries expand their educational capacity and technology-based distance learning opportunities increase. For example, enrollment in college-level distance education has nearly quadrupled since 1995. In addition, U.S. universities are establishing branch campuses in other countries and partnerships with international institutions, allowing international students to receive a U.S. education without leaving home. Greater competition has prompted some countries to offer courses in English and to expand their recruiting activities and incentives. Some countries also have developed strategic plans or offices focused on attracting international students. Second, the cost of obtaining a U.S. degree is among the highest in the world and rising, which may discourage international students. Average tuition in 2003 at public U.S. colleges and universities was second only to Australia. Moreover, tuition and associated costs continue to rise. While the effects of high and rising costs and related factors are difficult to estimate, some policymakers are concerned they may be discouraging international students from coming to the United States. Lastly, visa policies and procedures, tightened after September 11 to protect our national security, contributed to real and perceived barriers for international students. Post-September 11 changes included a requirement that almost all visa applicants be interviewed, affecting the number of visas issued and extending wait times for visas under certain circumstances. GAO has made several recommendations to strengthen the visa process in a way that reduces barriers for international students while balancing national security, and recent changes have improved the process. Processing times for certain security reviews have declined, and recent data show more student visas issued in the last few years. The Department of State also has taken steps to ease the burden on students, including expediting interviews and extending the length of time that some visa clearances are valid. We are continuing to study aspects of these issues. The United States must maintain an appropriate balance between protecting national security interests and ensuring our long-term competitiveness. Monitoring current trends and federal policies is essential to ensuring that the United States continues to obtain talented international students in the face of greater global competition.

I am waiting nervously for the results of my 24 hour urine and blood results. For those who did have the 24 hour urine test...how long did it take you to get your results? I turned it into the lab yesterday morning but I have no idea when it was actually picked up. I am planning to call my doctor's office this afternoon...I am hoping I don't have to wait all weekend.
I have heard it can take as little as a day. Is that true?

|Blog Posts
by Barbara Berkeley,
In the past twenty or thirty years it seems that Americans have become hyper-involved with food. We spend inordinate amounts of time thinking about it and planning how to eat it. Food has become an entertainment rather than a pleasurable form of sustenance. I believe that most of us don't even realize how involved we truly are. How did this happen?
We live in a culture that puts us into an extremely heightened contact with food. Here's one simple example: before 1950, most groceries were bought from small, local stores. Shopping was done largely from day to day and choices were minimal. The first supermarkets built in the 50s and 60s put us in contact with about 10,000 items during each shopping trip. Huge on-site parking lots made it possible to cart large loads of food home thus assuring that we would be exposed to lots more food items every day and on our own shelves. By 2006, the average number of items in a supermarket had quadrupled to 45,000 making a simple stop for milk an exercise is food immersion.
All of these new food items were forced to differentiate themselves in order to generate sales. They continue to do this by advertising, both in the media and on their own labels. They also do this by paying for an increased share of our awareness through placement in prime spots on supermarket shelves. Essentially, food forces us to pay attention at every turn.
As large amounts of food made their way into our lives for the first time, industrialization made it easier to take advantage of a growing interest in eating more and eating in more variety. Fast food, convenience stores, and chain restaurants all made their appearance. As David Kessler describes in The End of Overeating, food manufacturers soon figured out ways to make flavors that were more alluring and addictive.
We were seduced. A culture devoted to food interest soon sprung up in the face of increased consumption. For the first time chefs became celebrities, whole television channels were devoted to eating, and endless magazine and newspaper articles were devoted to recipes.
Unless you are 55 years old or more, you are unlikely to remember that this food environment represents an enormous shift from what it had been not very long ago. And we can hardly call it progress. The new oversaturation has generated an unprecedented amount of food obsession with a particularly worrisome twist: younger people who have only known our current food environment don't see it as dangerous. To them, it seems normal. If they are growing fat and getting ill, it must be their fault, not that of the environment. All we have to do is look at our skyrocketing diabetes and obesity rates to see how deadly this assumption is.
It's been my observation that those who learn how to maintain lost weight are usually those who are able to disengage and put a healthy distance between themselves and today's food environment. Essentially, they become less involved, less able to be stimulated. They do this by eating actual food (not fake food from packages) in consistent, reproducible ways. They cook less, bake less, spend less time thrilling to the menu of the newest restaurant, and fewer minutes watching what I call "food porn": television shows that are built around food and show lots of hyperstimulatory images of food.
Food Involvement is very hard to break and is often the reason that dieters regain their weight. After weight loss, most people go through what I call the "Bargaining Phase". These are the days and months when new maintainers try to find a way around an essential truth: that they must abandon the SAD (standard American diet) if they want to stay thin. Bargaining goes something like this: "I'm sure that I can keep this weight off if I just exercise more." "I won't have a problem if I'm more moderate than I used to be." "I'll be able to eat out and have whatever i want as long as I'm "good" on other days." "There are no bad foods, just as long as I only have a little." Or, in my practice: "Dr. Berkeley is crazy. I don't really have to give up all those things."
Bargainers have what I call a high "Food Involvement Quotient". And how could they not? Being raised in our American food environment, they have been saturated with food for a lifetime and have come to rely on eating for a large part of their pleasure.
Those who have made a food conversion have managed to break the pattern. In my book, I reproduce some of the daily menus of successful maintainers quoted in People Magazine's "Half Their Size" series. Their meals consist of unadorned fare like handfuls of nuts, a few shrimp and steamed vegetables and the like. Awhile back, I wrote about the diet of Olympic figure skater Evan Lysacek , who ate simple fruits, veggies and protein while training to win the gold medal. Jack LaLanne , who died recently in his late 90s and was a highly successful advocate for health, ate a spartan, Primarian style diet. Yesterday's news featured an Associated Press article on the world' oldest Type 1 diabetic. For 85 years this man has carefully controlled his diet eating small amounts of real foods that are extremely low in sugar. This dietary approach , consistently applied, has enabled him to ward off the complications of one of our deadliest diseases. These are people over whom the SAD (standard American diet) has lost power.
Perhaps you can make the case that clean-eating people are obsessed with food, just in a different way. It's true that eating healthily requires attention but it's more of a defensive attention. Non-SAD eaters must remain wary of falling prey to the siren song of the food culture. It's a strong magic and no one is completely immune.
What is your Food Involvement Quotient? Take this quiz and find out.Your FIQ 1. Are you constantly on the look out for new eating experiences?
2. If a new restaurant opens in your area, would trying it out be a top priority? 3. Do you have a subscription to a cooking magazine or do you frequently purchase one? 4. Do you routinely watch the Food Channel or other food related television? 5. Are you frequently looking for new recipes and new ways to prepare the food you eat? 6. Do you frequently blog, twitter or post on facebook about food or what you are eating? 7. Is the subject of food, restaurants or cooking a frequent topic of conversation with friends? 8. Do you believe that you have a weight problem because you are weak, lack willpower or have a metabolic problem and that if you were different you could control food? 9. Do you control weight by trying to be "good" on most days and "treating" yourself on others? 10. Do you long to try the latest version of your favorite sweet? (ice cream, cookies, cake, etc?) 11. Is it impossible to imagine a birthday or celebration without cake and does that cake seem harmless because you "deserve" it?
12. Do you frequently buy food on impulse because it looks good or the label is alluring? 13. Are other pleasures significantly less pleasurable if you remove the food? (For example: going to the movies, watching sports, being with friends)
Result Key: Your Food Involvement Quotient
If you answered Yes to 5 questions or less: Your FIQ is low and your ability to lose and maintain weight is high. Modern food has become less of a part of your life which means you have the opportunity for real change.
If you answered Yes to 6-8 questions: You have a moderate FIQ. You are still very involved in the world of modern food. While you may want to get out from under, you are not sure how to do it.
If you answered Yes to 9 to 13 questions: Your FIQ is high which means that you are very involved with food. Because food is still so seductive for you, this is likely making weight loss and maintenance impossible.
Every one of us has an involvement with food. The degree of involvement, however, impacts on our ability to remain healthy. Each one of us faces the challenge of learning to see the modern food world as it really is: supremely unhealthy, capable of seriously cutting your life short, capable of robbing you of the joy of living through obesity and related disease, a killer that takes hundreds of thousands of American lives each year. This reality is tough to see and tougher to hold in our minds because we live in an ether that constantly feeds us very different messages. "Food is fun." "Food is pleasure". "Food is a hobby" and most damaging, "Food is harmless if you only know how to control it." These messages are nothing more than a form of hypnosis.
In my next post: Tips on disengaging from the pack and lowering your Food Involvement Quotient.

The United States' prison population grew last year despite a declining crime rate, costing the federal government and states an estimated $40 billion a year at a time of rampant budget shortfalls.
The inmate population of more than 2.1 million last year represented a 2.6 percent increase over the year before, according to a report by the Bureau of Justice Statistics that was released yesterday. Preliminary FBI statistics showed a 0.2 percent drop in overall crime during the same span.
Experts say mandatory sentences, especially for nonviolent drug offenders, are a major reason inmate populations have risen for 30 years. About 1 out of every 143 U.S. residents was in federal, state or local custody at year's end.
"The nation needs to break the chains of our addiction to prison, and find less costly and more effective policies like treatment," said Will Harrell, executive director of the Texas American Civil Liberties Union. "We need to break the cycle."
Others say tough sentencing laws, such as the "three strikes" laws that can put repeat offenders behind bars for life, are a chief reason for the drop in crime. The Justice Department, for example, ordered Bureau of Prisons officials this year to stop sending so many white-collar and nonviolent criminals to halfway houses.
"The prospect of prison, more than any other sanction, is feared by white-collar criminals and has a powerful deterrent effect," Deputy Attorney General Larry Thompson said in a memo announcing the change.
Yet the cost of housing, feeding and caring for a prison inmate is roughly $20,000 per year, or about $40 billion nationwide, using 2002 figures, according to the Sentencing Project, a nonprofit organization that promotes alternatives to prison. Construction costs are about $100,000 per cell.
Even as these costs keeping climbing, the federal government is tackling a giant budget deficit, and 31 states this year are cutting spending to deal with shortfalls, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
"The prison population and budget figures, taken together, should be setting off alarm bells in state capitols," said Jason Zeidenberg, director of policy and research for the Justice Policy Institute, a nonprofit organization focused on ending reliance on incarceration.
Drug offenders make up more than half of all federal prisoners. The federal penal system, which has tough sentencing policies for drug offenses, is the nation's largest at more than 151,600 — an increase of 4.2 percent compared with 2001.
During the same period, state prison and jail populations grew 2.4 percent. Prison alternative advocates credit the lower growth rate to moves in some states to divert drug offenders to treatment programs and other innovations.
Texas, for example, passed a drug treatment-alternative law and found that its prison population last year remain virtually unchanged from 2001. Ohio, which revised its sentencing and parole guidelines in the late 1990s, had its prison and jail population rise 0.8 percent last year.
"The way to reduce prison spending is to reduce the number of people in prison and the number of prisons, like some states across the country have done," said Rose Braz, director of Critical Resistance, a California-based group opposed to prison expansion.

ATLANTA — Georgia's transportation department is seeking bids on a massive project to add toll lanes to two busy interstates northwest of Atlanta.
The project will add the optional toll lanes to interstates 75 and 575, which would open in March 2018 if all goes according to plan.
Darryl VanMeter of the Department of Transportation said that the state is seeking innovative and an efficient design for the project.
Metro Atlanta already has toll lanes on Interstate 85 northeast of the city. The I-85 toll lanes span about 16 miles from near Chamblee Tucker Road, just south of I-285, to Old Peachtree Road in Gwinnett and DeKalb counties.

Bolstering his claim that he's the strongest conservative in the Republican presidential field, Rick Santorum swept the Alabama and Mississippi primaries on Tuesday, sending a strong signal to Mitt Romney that the GOP front-runner still isn't connecting with a big chunk of the party's deeply conservative base.
The twin victories, though, were not enough for Mr. Santorum to make up ground on Mr. Romney in the chase toward the 1,144 delegates needed to wrap up the nomination, as the former Massachusetts governor would later emerge victorious in the smaller caucus contests in Hawaii and American Samoa — ending the day with bigger delegate gains compared to his rivals.
The Associated Press called both states for the former Pennsylvania senator shortly after 10:30 p.m., capping a fast-moving seven days that saw Mr. Santorum, Mr. Romney and Newt Gingrich campaign furiously for votes across the Deep South.
With 98 percent of the precincts counted in Alabama, Mr. Santorum pulled in 38 percent of the vote; Mr. Gingrich, 23 percent; and Mr. Romney, 23 percent, according to the AP. In Mississippi, Mr. Santorum held 35 percent; Mr. Gingrich, 32 percent; and Mr. Romney, 32 percent with 99 percent of the precincts counted.
Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who finished in single digits in both primaries, basically skipped the southern states to focus his money and energy elsewhere — though he did pick up a single delegate in the Hawaii caucuses.
Taken together, Mr. Romney walked away with at least 40 delegates and Mr. Santorum won at least 34, while Newt Gingrich added at least 24 delegates and Ron Paul got at least 1, according to the AP.
There were more than 107 delegates to the Republican National Convention up for grabs Tuesday: 47 in Alabama, 37 in Mississippi, 17 in Hawaii caucuses and six more in caucuses in American Samoa.
At an election-night party in Lafayette, La., Mr. Santorum opened his victory speech with, "We did it again."
Promising supporters that he plans to "compete everywhere" in the upcoming contests, the former Pennsylvania senator said, "The time is now for conservatives to pull together. The time is now to make sure that we have the best chance to win this election. And the best chance to win this election is to nominate a conservative to go up against Barack Obama."
The good news for the Santorum campaign was generally viewed as bad news for Mr. Gingrich, the former Georgia congressman who had predicted he would win in both Southern states.
But in his comments to supporters in Birmingham, Ala., the former House speaker and longtime Georgia congressman made it clear he has no intentions of stepping aside before the Republican convention in Tampa, Fla., in August.
"I emphasize going to Tampa because one of the things tonight proves is that the elite media's attempts to convince the nation that Mitt Romney is inevitable just collapsed," he said to cheers.
"I don't believe that a Massachusetts moderate that created 'Romneycare' as the forerunner of 'Obamneycare' is going to be in a position to win any of the debates this fall. And that is part of the reason I insisted on staying in the race," he said, linking together the universal health care system Mr. Romney signed into law in Massachusetts with President Obama's federal health care overhaul.
The Romney campaign put a positive spin on the night by pointing out that since neither Alabama nor Mississippi is a "winner-take-all" state, the former governor had still added to his delegate total.

Restaurants in Cape Town
Though the nighttime views are lovely at this spare, modern 80-seat restaurant (set on the second floor of a Victorian, it has a glass-enclosed dining room that looks over twinkling city lights), the real eye candy here is culinary.
Located inside a restored old house, Manna Epicure café has an airy, all-white interior that blends homelike elements—such as a fireplace mantle lined with glass flower vases—with more eclectic touches like hanging teapots and a chandelier made with sticks of white wattle wood.
Part wine bar and part restaurant, Caveau is housed inside the red-brick Josephine Mill, which once produced grain for settlers in the early 19th century.

Pink is ramping up for the release of her sixth studio album, The Truth About Love, and today (July 16) revealed the album's cover. Check it out (right)!
Looking great in a short black top and even shorter black shorts, with red heels and her hair giving off a soft, signature pink glow, the singer has already released the set's lead single, "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)."
Produced and co-written by Greg Kurstin, who is experiencing quite a run of success lately, having produced and co-wrote Kelly Clarkson's smash "Stronger," which has gone on to become the biggest hit ever for an "American Idol" contestant, the track is quintessential Pink – heavy on the attitude with a big beat and a catchy chorus. The song is one of several collaborations between Kurstin and Pink on her upcoming album.
In addition to his work with Clarkson and Pink, Kurstin is reportedly working with Lily Allen on her comeback album.
The Truth About Love is Pink's first studio album since 2008′s Funhouse The pop star did, however, score two back-to-back smash singles, "Raise Your Glass" (#1) and "F**kin' Perfect" (#2), from her 2010 best-of package Greatest Hits…So Far!

Community Foundations
Community foundations are grantmaking public charities that are dedicated to improving the lives of people in a defined local geographic area. They bring together the financial resources of individuals, families, and businesses to support effective nonprofits in their communities. Community foundations vary widely in asset size, ranging from less than $100,000 to more than $1.7 billion.
Community foundations play a key role in identifying and solving community problems. In 2011, they gave an estimated $4.3 billion to a variety of nonprofit activities in fields that included the arts and education, health and human services, the environment, and disaster relief. The Community Foundations National Standards Board confirms operational excellence in six key areas—mission, structure, and governance; resource development; stewardship and accountability; grantmaking and community leadership; donor relations; and communications. Foundations that comply with these standards can display the official National Standards Seal. Right now nearly 500 community foundations have earned the seal.
More than 750 community foundations operate in urban and rural areas in every state in the United States; currently, more than 570 belong to the Council on Foundations. The community foundation model also has taken hold around the world. According to the 2010 Community Foundation Global Status Report, there are 1,680 community foundations in 51 countries. Forty-six percent exist outside of the United States. You can use our Community Foundation Locator to view a list of community foundations in the United States.
Below is everything on our site for community foundations. You can use the filtering options on the right to narrow these results.
Should your foundation board members be compensated for service, or should they serve in a voluntary capacity? Whether you are considering this issue for the first time, or whether it's a question that has arisen before, compensation has become more than an internal management question. It has become part of keeping the public trust.
As the need for scarce grant dollars grows more intense, so does the need to make certain those dollars are spent as effectively as possible. Hence the question of how to evaluate the consequences of grant supported activities has risen to the forefront.
First Steps
A foundation's strategic plan describes its long-term goals and objectives, and how the organization will work to fulfill them. Like any management tool, a strategic plan—with a process to develop that plan—helps an organization improve its work. Specifically, a strategic plan focuses the board's energy, articulates explicit goals for the board and staff to work toward, and adjusts the organization's direction, if necessary, in response to a changing community.
A good strategic plan will:
Many foundations may be uncertain about what's involved when it comes to succession planning. Some wonder why they should worry about the future at all when they have so much work to do in managing their grantmaking, community leadership and development, and administrative duties.
Succession planning is more than just replacing a CEO. It's an opportunity to evaluate what works at your foundation—and identify areas in which you can improve. It can give both the board and staff a clear picture of long-term goals, and help you set priorities and make decisions.
Working with the media should be part of your overall communications plan. Even if you don't have a written communications plan, you still need to focus some attention toward the media. Working with the media—that is, public relations—establishes a strong public presence and image for your foundation. This helps the public understand your foundation and its value in the community. You also shape public opinion and, ideally, influence the actions of donors, grantees, and community leaders.
Staff members administering a company's charitable giving program are sometimes asked whether payments to a charity may be deducted as a charitable contribution or a business expense by the company. Although business expense deductions have fewer limitations than charitable contribution deductions, a company does not have complete discretion in choosing whether to deduct a payment as a business expense or a charitable contribution.
Charitable contribution deduction
A Toolkit for Community Foundations
"Impact investing" is the practice of investing for social and environmental impact while generating financial return. For community foundations, impact investing represents a new, complementary tool for achieving community change. Community foundations are poised to take advantage of this practice being increasingly embraced by a variety of investors leveraging their unique role in community.
As different as foundations can be from one another, they all share the need to know what works and, especially, what works well. The more foundations can show how their grants are making a difference, the more value they can bring to their communities.
To know what works, foundations must evaluate their grants. Evaluation has many benefits. It helps the foundation assess the quality or impact of funded programs, plan and implement new programs, make future grant decisions, and demonstrate accountability to the public trust.
Social media is an increasingly prevalent part of our world. Whether it's on the news, sitting in traffic, or talking with colleagues, you'll be hard-pressed to avoid mention of Facebook or Twitter. Is there a good way for your foundation to become involved?

This application claims benefit to application Ser. No. 60/088,757, filed Jun. 10, 1998.
The present invention is directed to a coupling device for connecting a rolling IV stand to a patient transport device, such as, a bed, gurney or wheelchair.
Hospital patients are frequently transferred from one area of a hospital to a different area. To perform that transfer, a patient is placed on a gurney or wheelchair and a medical assistant pushes the patient to a desired destination. Frequently, a patient receives intravenous fluids from an IV assembly. The IV assembly can include a rolling IV stand having a vertical pole with one or more IV bags and drip lines leading to the patient. Transferring the IV assembly along with the patient has presented a number of challenges. For example, a second medical assistant is sometimes used to push the IV assembly at the same pace as the gurney. A different patient transfer approach involves turning off each IV and moving each of the IV bags from the support stand to a second stand attached to the gurney. However, turning off an IV for critical care patients greatly increases the risks to their health. In addition, there is a risk that a busy medical assistant may forget to turn an IV back on or establish an improper drip rate. Also, whenever IV bags are handled, there is a risk that a bag may be dropped and potentially explode. In the case of some critical care patients, there can be five or more IV lines connected to a patient. These multiple lines can easily become entangled and crossed when patients are transferred from a gurney to a table or a bed, and vice versa. Moreover, infusion pumps are often clamped to the IV pole and need to be turned on and off and properly transferred from one pole to another, which further complicates patient transfers.
The increased labor requirements for transferring IV bags from one IV pole to another IV pole and/or independently moving an IV pole along side a gurney greatly increases medical costs. In addition, patient safety is potentially jeopardized every time an IV assembly is transferred between poles.
Recently, connecting devices have been proposed that interconnect a gurney or wheelchair with an IV assembly. However, the known devices do not provide easy attachment and removal to a gurney or wheelchair. Nor do the known devices provide a redundant securing feature that prevents unwanted detachment of the IV pole from the connecting device.
The present invention provides a coupling device for interconnecting a rollingly supported medical stand having a pole to a patient transport device, such as a gurney, a bed or a wheelchair. The coupling device has a base that includes an attachment portion for attaching the device to the patient transport device. An extension arm is connected to the base and terminates at a pole receiver portion. The receiver portion preferably has a generally cylindrical hollow housing with a vertical slot sized to receive an IV pole on the IV medical stand. Further, an anti-rotation feature, for example, a thumb screw or a liner is optionally provided on the receiver portion to tightly retain the pole in the housing preventing pole rotation. Additionally, a locking door is provided which removably closes the slot for preventing accidental removal of a medical stand pole from the pole receiver portion. The locking door is slidably received within a pair of opposing grooves to close the slot and prevent removal of the IV pole from the housing. The slot and the opposing grooves are generally vertical for generally parallel alignment with a medical stand pole.
When the anti-rotation feature is a thumbscrew, it also provides for primary positive retention of a medical stand pole and the locking door provides secondary positive pole retention for redundantly retaining a medical stand pole to a patient transport.
A further embodiment of the present invention includes a liner attached to an inner surface of the pole receiver portion, in place of a thumb screw, to grip and retain the IV pole against rotation. A still different embodiment of the present invention provides a hinged connection between the extension arm and the base, allowing folding, pivoting motion from an extended service position to a folded storage position.
A still further embodiment of the present invention includes a telescopically collapsing extension arm that permits the receiver portion to be extended to a service position or retracted to a compact storage position.
The present invention is also directed to a coupling bracket for rigidly interconnecting a rollingly supported medical stand having a pole to a patient transport, the coupling bracket comprising a base that includes an attachment portion for attaching the coupling bracket to a patient transport. An extension arm is provided having first and second ends, the first end being connected to the base. A pole receiver portion is connected to the second end of the extension arm and includes a generally hollow housing with a slot dimensioned for receiving a medical stand pole. A fastener is located on the receiver portion for tightly engaging a medical stand pole when positioned in the housing for preventing pole rotation and unwanted removal. The fastener is preferably a thumbscrew that is located in a side of the pole receiver portion for radially engaging a medical stand pole. The extension rod can be a generally cylindrical rod and can alternatively be pivotally connected to the base for folding storage or telescoping for collapsing storage.
The coupling bracket device according to the present invention provides a rigid connection between a patient transport device and an IV stand to allow their simultaneous movement without the need for an extra medical assistant to push the IV stand. Thus, the present invention reduces the amount of labor required to move a patient from one area of a hospital to another area. Further, there is no need to transfer IV bags and infusion pumps from one IV stand to another IV stand, since a single IV stand can be readily coupled to or detached from the patient transport device. Thus, the present invention increases patient safety by eliminating the need to turn off IVs as required when transferring bags from one IV stand to another.
In addition, the coupling bracket device can be easily attached or removed from one patient transport and connected to a different patient transport. Alternatively, other embodiments of the present invention can remain attached to a same patient transport and the extension arm and receiver portion can be moved to compact storage positions so as not to interfere with movement of the patient transport device or medical personnel.
Accordingly, the present invention reduces the labor required to move patients and thereby reduces medical costs for treating those patients Patient safety is also greatly increased. Moreover, the coupling bracket of the present invention enables easy installation and removal from a patient transfer device as well as compact storage. Further, a redundant securing system ensures that an IV pole will not be inadvertently separated from the bracket.
The features and inventive aspects of the present invention will become more apparent upon reading the following detailed description, claims, and drawings, of which the following is a brief description:
FIG. 1 shows a coupling device according to the present invention being connected to an IV stand.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the IV coupling device of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a partial top view of an IV pole retained by the coupling device.
FIG. 4 is a partial top view of a coupling device according to another embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 5 shows a coupling device attached to a patient transport.
FIG. 6 shows a coupling device according to another embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 7 shows a coupling device according to yet a further embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 1 shows a patient transport device 20 selectively connected to a free standing IV stand 22 by a coupling bracket 24. IV stand 22 includes a base 26 with wheels or casters 28 and a vertical pole 30 having a predetermined diameter. One or more IV bags 32 hang from a uppermost part of IV stand 22. An infusion pump (not shown) is optionally attached to IV stand 22 for controlling IV fluid distribution. Patient transport device 20 is illustrated in the form of a corner portion 34 of a gurney. However, the present invention is suitable for any type of transport devices including, for example, a bed or a wheelchair. Coupling bracket 24 has a base 36 having an attachment portion 38 that engages with cooperating features 39 on transport device 20 to releasably retain coupling bracket 24 on transport device 20. An extension arm 40 projects laterally from base 36 and terminates at a receiver portion 42. IV stand 22 is selectively retained within the receiver portion to allow simultaneous movement of IV stand 22 with transport device 20.
FIG. 2 shows further details of coupling bracket 24. Attachment portion 38 includes first and second downwardly projecting pins 44, 45 that are sized and shaped to matingly engage cooperating features 39 on transport device 20. Two pins are preferably provided to eliminate pivoting motion that would otherwise occur with a single pin. Receiver portion 42 has a generally cylindrical hollow housing 46 that includes a vertical slot 48 that permits selective insertion and removal of IV pole 30 from housing 46. Optionally, but preferably, a pair of vertically opposed grooves 50 are provided adjacent slot 48 to releasably receive a locking door 52 that closes slot 48. Thus, locking door 52 prevents unwanted removal of IV pole 30 from housing 46. Preferably, door 52 has an L-shaped cross section to allow easy grasping of door 52 by medical personnel. A chain 54 permanently attaches door 52 to housing 46 to prevent its loss when not in use. In addition, a thumb screw 56 is optionally provided to tightly hold IV pole 30 within housing 46 and prevent undesired rotation of IV stand 22 during transit. Without thumb screw 56, IV stand 22 may tend to rotate during transit and could twist or tangle IV lines 58 leading to a patient.
When it is desired to couple IV stand 22 with patient transport device 20, locking door 52 is removed from grooves 50 and thumb screw 56 is turned to a loosened position. IV stand 22 is then rolled toward receiver portion 42 and IV pole 30 is inserted through slot 48 into housing 46. Locking door 52 is then inserted into grooves 50 and thumb screw 56 is tightened against pole 30.
As described above, thumb screw 56 provides a first locking feature for pole 30 preventing its undesired rotation as well as movement out of housing 46. Locking door 52 provides a redundant positive locking feature that eliminates the risk of unwanted decoupling should thumb screw 56 loosen.
FIG. 3 shows a partial top view of receiver portion 42 including thumb screw 56 engaging IV pole 30 to securely hold it in position. In addition, locking door 52 is shown located in grooves 50 and blocking removal of pole 30 by closing slot 48.
FIG. 4 shows a different receiver portion 42′ according to the present invention. In this embodiment thumb screw 56 has been replaced by a liner 60 that contacts an outer surface of pole 30′ to prevent its rotation. Liner 60 is preferably made of rubber to resiliently grip pole 30′ and eliminate rotation. However, any suitable material can be used. Locking door 52′ prevents removal of pole 30′ from housing 46′.
FIG. 5 shows a side view of coupling bracket 24 attached to corner portion 34 of patient transport device 20. Attachment portion 38 has first and second downwardly projecting pins 44, 45 inserted into cooperating features 39, in the form of mating apertures (not shown) to provide rigid non-pivoting connection between coupling bracket 24 and transport device 20.
A further embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in FIG. 6. In this embodiment, extension arm 40″ is pivotally attached to base 36″ to allow pivoting movement of receiver portion 42″ about a horizontal pivot axis P. The embodiment of FIG. 6 allows pivoting or folding of extension arm 40″ and receiver portion 42″ from a service position, illustrated in solid lines, to a stored position, shown in phantom. In the stored position, coupling bracket 24″ does not interfere with movement or extend beyond the periphery of transport device 20. Locking door 52″ can be inserted into grooves (not shown) from either direction, so locking door 52″ can be stored securely after arm 40″ is pivoted.
The folding coupling bracket 24″ provides a more compact storage design that allows coupling bracket 24″ to remain on patient transport device 20 full-time without being an unwanted projection when not in service.
A third embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 7. Coupling bracket 24′″ has a telescopically collapsible extension arm 70 that allows selective extension and retraction of receiver portion 42′″ from an extended position shown in solid lines to a retracted position shown in phantom. Telescopic movement provides quick and easy positioning of receiver portion 42′″. Although not shown, any suitable locking arrangement can be provided to maintain extension arm 70 in the extended and retracted positions. For example, spring loaded detents can be used for temporarily maintaining extension arm 70 in the extended and retracted positions, or any intermediate position in between.
Preferred embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed. A person of ordinary skill in the art would realize, however, that certain modifications would come within the teachings of this invention. For example, coupling bracket 24 is preferably made of metal to provide sufficient strength and resistance to bacteria. However, any suitable material can be used. Moreover, attachment portion 38 is illustrated having first and second pins 44, 45, however any suitable fastening arrangement can be used, either releasable or permanent. Therefore, the following claims should be studied to determine the true scope and content of the invention.

Local Government Debt Is China's Subprime, Ex-Lawmaker Says
Sept. 16 (Bloomberg) -- Borrowing by thousands of companies set up by China's local governments to fund construction is the nation's equivalent of the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis, said Cheng Siwei, a former deputy head of the country's top legislative body.
"Our version of the U.S. subprime crisis is the lending to local governments, which is causing defaults," Cheng said at the World Economic Forum in the Chinese city of Dalian today. He served as vice chairman of the standing committee of the National People's Congress from 1998 to 2003.
Cheng's comments contrast with statements by government officials and Chinese executives who have sought to allay concerns that 10.7 trillion yuan ($1.7 trillion) of outstanding local government debt will saddle banks with soured loans and derail economic growth. China Merchants Bank Co. President Ma Weihua this week said the chances of "large scale" non-performing assets are "impossible."
Local governments in China, barred from directly selling bonds or taking bank loans, set up more than 6,576 companies to raise money for roads, sewage plants and subways. A June report by the national auditor warned of repayment risks and said some authorities had offered illegal guarantees for these companies, known in China as local government financing vehicles.
Cheng said today it would be the "wrong practice" for the central government to bail out these companies even though it has the capability to do so. Local governments that don't have a lot of debt should not rescue those that have become highly indebted, said Cheng.
No Need to 'Panic'
Government officials have sought to ease concerns that local authorities' debt problems will boost banks' bad loans to a level that may require state support.
They include Xu Lin, head of the department of fiscal and financial affairs at the National Development and Reform Commission. Xu said on the planning agency's website last month that there was no need to "panic" about government debt.
In the port city of Tianjin today, Vice Mayor Cui Jindu told a briefing the municipality's financing vehicles would have "no problem" repaying debt this year.
The city has already paid off 33 billion yuan of the 39.5 billion yuan of principle due in 2011, Cui said. Loans maturing next year will rise to about 60 billion yuan, he said.
Funding Problems
"If the government doesn't tighten its policy too much, there shouldn't be any problem," he said. "But if we end up not getting a single new loan, there could be problems" such as projects that won't be able to be completed.
Borrowing by Tianjin's 144 local government financing vehicles may slump by as much as 140 billion yuan in 2011 from last year's level as banks curb risks and boost funding for small and medium-sized companies, Cui said. The companies have borrowed about 20 billion yuan so far this year, he said.
In a sign financing vehicles in some provinces are having difficulties repaying local debts, the auditor of northeast Liaoning province estimated in July that about 85 percent of such companies in the region had insufficient income last year to cover all their debt servicing payments, according to a transcript of his speech in the Liaoning Daily on Sept. 5.

A little bit of Detroit comes to Wilmington Thursday when Ford Motor Co. holds its annual shareholders meeting at the Hotel du Pont.
On paper, it shapes up to be a lovefest compared with a few years ago when it seemed as if the domestic auto industry had fallen and would never get up.
Shareholders voted on 12 different proposals last year. More than half were sponsored by shareholders, including one seeking the right to cast an advisory vote on executive pay.
This year, the proxy is positively svelte with just eight proposals, including another one on "say on pay." Last year, Ford shareholders rejected it in a vote in which just 9 percent of shares were voted in favor.

The Bridger-Teton National Forest embodies the spirit of wild with 3.4 million acres of designated public land and 1.2 million acres preserved forever as wilderness.
WWA continues to ensure these lands are administered to protect their wild characteristics and that special places like the 135,000 acre Palisades Wilderness Study Area are given rightful inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System.
WWA continues to work for Wilderness designation of Rock Creek, which was recommended as Wilderness in the 2005 Forest Plan.
WWA is also taking a broader view on the forest, looking into other wild places that are in need of protection.
There are over 18 million acres of public lands administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Wyoming.
WWA is working to ensure that these badlands, dune fields, rock outcrops, sagebrush communities, alkali flats and other special environments are carefully managed.
The Shoshone National Forest (SNF) is the countries first national forest and home to some of Wyoming's most WILD landscapes.
WWA is working to protects the Shoshone's roadless lands through the upcoming Travel Management Plan (TMP).
