ESPN - Bulls look to finish what they've started - Big East
Anyone see this pic of Mac running onto the field? SFU is starting off to a good season again this year.
You do know that Mac resigned from South Florida to become the DL coach at Florida at the end of last year, don't you?
Gene Smith, 1993-2000. 7 years, 6 NCAA's, 1 bowl game. Revenue sports postseason participation 50%. Good.
Bruce Vandevelde, 2000-20005. 5 years, 4 bowl games, 2 NCAA's, 2 NIT's. Postseason participation 80%. Better.
Jamie Pollard, 2005-. 4 years. 1 bowl game, 0 NCAA's, 0 NIT's. Postseason participation: 13%. The next big step.
My ignore list: splitidentity, tarheelhawk,superdorf, clones_jer. That is all.
I thought Mac was with the Gators this year.....is that an old picture or did that move fall through?
-- Thanks Coach Paul Rhoads. --

NUXE developed this daily anti-fatigue moisturizing care to offer the maximum protection against oxidative stress with the delightful fragrance of NUXE Prodigieuse Dry Oil. This night-renewing cream works to encourage cell renewal, moisturize and re-energize skin. This cream combats the appearance of visible signs of skin aging caused by the day's oxidative stress. In the morning, facial features appear smoothed and the skin looks luminous.
I have very sensitive skin and pretty much stick to Philosophy products. I received this as a sample and was delighted to find that it did not irritate my skin. I normally use Miracle Worker, but was looking for something heavier for that "winter skin". It is on the heavier side so if you don't need a heavy duty moisturizer, you may want to try another product. Makes your skin feel soooo soft.
I have very sensitive skin and stopped using a moisturizer at night because I either had a reaction to them or because they were too heavy. This is a perfect night cream for me because my skin absorbs it quickly and it is very gentle. My skin feels great in the morning and it has a very pleasant fragrance. I am very happy I tried it. I won't use anything else on my face except NUXE.
Nuxe has always provided nice moisturizers.
If I want something gentle and natural, this is what I choose.
Apply to face and decollete at night on a perfectly cleaned skin to moisturize and encourage cells renewal. For optimum efficacy, use it with the Prodigieux Eye Contour and use the Prodigieuse Day Cream in the morning to protect the skin from the daily oxidative stress.
For an intensive cellular renewal, apply as a mask for a few minutes and remove the surplus with a cotton.

When Fall Out Boy first announced their humanitarian trip to Uganda back in May , the plan was to raise awareness about the plight of thousands of children displaced by the country's ongoing civil war and to urge the U.S. government to weigh in on the situation in the hope of stopping the suffering once and for all.
Sometime between that announcement and the day FOB touched down in Africa in July, it was decided that the best way to do all that was to shoot a video — for the song "I'm Like a Lawyer With the Way I'm Always Trying to Get You Off (Me & You)," a track that doesn't exactly instill one with a sense of international diplomacy.
Therein lay the difficulty for the band, director Alan Ferguson and Invisible Children, the nonprofit children's aid group that sponsored the trip: How does one make a video that encapsulates two decades of war for a song that's chiefly about the ins and outs of a relationship gone awry?
Simple — you make the video a love story starring a pair of Ugandan teens.
"Originally when we came here, we had a plan. [The video] was going to be shot documentary-style. We were gonna shoot it as Fall Out Boy coming here and interacting," bassist Pete Wentz said on the video's set. "But we decided that this treatment seemed a lot more dangerous and compelling. I mean, have you ever seen a love story between Ugandan people — especially with a rock band — on 'TRL'?"
And though it sounds incredibly basic, the "(Me + You)" clip, which debuted on "TRL" earlier this week, actually manages to be quite profound, primarily because it puts a pair of faces on the country's faceless refugees. Shot over the course of five days in and around an actual displacement camp in Uganda's northern Gulu District, the video stars two Ugandan teens who are trying to make love work in a time of war.
"What's truly groundbreaking is the majority of the video is the story of two young African kids, and what's great about it is that it's gonna humanize these people," Invisible Children co-founder Bobby Bailey said. "I think it'll connect to a lot of people. From the moment we arrived here, the kids here were telling us, 'Please tell our story. And especially let America know about our story because they have a voice in the world, and they can help end this thing.' "
"The plan is to show that and then emphasize the idea that if we sent one senior policy adviser from the U.S. [to Uganda] that there's greater potential to end the war [now] than ever — but for whatever reason, we're just not committed to do that," Wentz added. "Everyone's been focusing so much attention on our band lately — and so many times, it's the wrong kind of attention — [but] it's all right if the cameras follow us to Africa."

HOSPITAL SERVICE UNIT CROSS-REFERENCE TO OTHER APPLICATION This application is a continuation-in-part application of application for United States Letters Patent Ser. No. 83,762, now US. Pat. No. 3,660,591 filed Oct. 26, 1970, by Messrs. Schultz, Heidacher, Sharer, Adams and Damico, entitled HOSPITAL IN-PATIENT SER- VICE CORE MODULE.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In the construction of the patients room in a hospital, the headwall is a most expensive item. This is because this wall, against which the head of the patients bed is located, must contain the facilities required for the care and treatment of a patient. These facilities include electrical outlets, gassource supplies and communication facilities, all of which are installed within the wall during the construction thereof. This type of headwall construction is at a disadvantage in that the electrical outlets, which are several in number, are in part at least disposed at some distance from the hospital bed with the result that long cords are required to connect electricity to the bed and to equipment used in the treatment and care of a patient. The arrangement is at a further disadvantage in that equipment used in the care of a patient which requires a ground connection, such as is required by an electrocardiograph, is often difficult to find a proper ground for the device. The present invention seeks to overcome these difficulties and disadvantages and to reduce the cost of construction of a patients quarters in a hospital.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention comprises a factory made selfcontained core module having a framework that sup ports the various light fixtures, gas valves, electrical switches, circuit breakers and the like. The framework consists of the wall section generally rectangular in shape and equipped for mounting upon the headwall of a patients room in a convenient manner. The framework also consists of side sections which are generally wedge shaped and project from the opposite vertical edges of the wall section. The framework is covered by a suitable backwall panel and inside and outside panels on the faces of the side sections of the framework.
When mounted upon the headwall of the hospital patients room, the module is disposed above the floor of the room a sufficient distance to permit normal use of the floor care machinery employed in care of the floor. The module does not extend completely to the ceiling of the room, but rather, terminates below the ceiling. Extensions of the side sections conveniently referred-to as service covers, extend from the upper surface of the core module through the ceiling of the room.
In modern hospital construction, the ceilings in patients rooms are disposed an appreciable distance below the floor of the room above. In thisspace, the electrical conduits, the gas and vacuum lines and communication cables are located as are heating and venting ducts as may be required. After the module has been secured upon the headwall, the electrical wires, communication cable and gas conduits are connected to the module after which the service covers are installed to complete the installation of the module.
Located at the bottom of the module are guides adapted to be engaged by the head legs of a hospital bed to position that bed in a desired location with respect to the module. The invention contemplates using the so-called electronic bedside cabinet in connection with the bed and the communication cable, telephone connection and power to the bedside cabinet are extended from the module to the cabinet. In certain instances, in intensive care rooms, bedside cabinets will not be used and all of the lights in the module will be controlled by switches located in the module.
In the preferred form, examining lights are mounted near the top of the inside panel of each side section of the module and switches for controlling these examining lights are located at the front edge of each side section. Also located in these side sections are observation lamps located in approximate alignment with the top edge of the mattress of the bed when that bed is in its normal low position. Switches for controlling the observation lights are also located on the front edges of the side sections of the module. Also located on the front edges of the side sections are several electrical receptacles, each protected by a circuit breaker. Also located on these edges are grounding bars which provide a convenient wayto ground a piece of hospital equipment, such as an electrocardiograph, which requires a ground connection.
Also located on the inner surfaces of the side sections are a pair of vertically disposed reading lamp means on Also located in each side section is a ceiling lamp which is also controlled by a switch on the bedside cabinet.
Positioned at the bottom of each side section of the module is a small wattage night lamp which burns continuously enabling a night nurse to observe the location of the bed when making her rounds. Should further observation of the patient be required, the nurse can turn on the observation lights from either side of the bed, and since these lights are located-low with respect to the patient, a minimum disturbance of the patient results. I
The lighting arrangement of the core module provides a distinct improvement over the prior art of which we-are aware. The vertically disposed reading lamp means provides an ample glare-free light for reading. The examining light arrangement provides adequate light for examination of a patient without the use of auxiliary lighting.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring now to the drawings in more detail, in FIG. 1 will be seen that the core module indicated generally at has ,a wall section indicated generally at 11 adjacent the wall 12 of the room. Extending forwardly from the wall section 11 are side sections 13 and 14. It will be noted that the top of the module 10 is beneath the ceiling of the room and the bottom of the module is spaced above the floor 16 thereof a distance sufficient to permit operation of the floor cleaning equipment without interferencefrorn the module.
A service cover 17 extends upwardly from the top edge of the section 13 and through the ceiling as does the service cover 18 extend from the side section 14. The bed 19 is positioned with respect to the module and the electronic bedside cabinet in the example shown is positioned on the left side of a patient in the bed.
As will be seenbest in FIGS. 3, 4 and 10, the framework of the module contains vertically disposed rectangular tubes and 26 which extend from the bottom to points well above the top of the module, but below the ceiling of a room in which the module is mounted. A top horizontal bar 27 seen in cross-section in FIGS. 5 and 18 extends between the tubes 25 and 26 and is attached thereto. Disposed below bar 27 is a cross-channel 28 positioned with its web on the back or wallengaging face of the module. Below the channel 28 are cross tubes 29 and '30 which, in the embodiment shown, are rectangular tubes best seen in FIG. 5. Attached to the lower tube 30 is a-lower plate 31 which contains a plurality of elongated perforations for a purpose hereinafter described.
Fixed to the wall tubes 25 and 26 and to the crossmember 27 are wedge shaped upper plates 33 which, from FIG. 3, it will be seen are formed as rights and lefts. Each plate 33 has depending from it a flange 34.
Fixed to the lower ends of tubes 25 and 26 and to the lower cross-tube 30 are bottom plates 35 best seen in FIG. 10, which have upwardly extending flanges 36 best seen in FIGS. 4 and 5. Fixed between the upper and lower plates is a front frame channel 37 which contains rectangular openings 38 for a purpose later explained. Fixed to and extending between the horizontal members of the framework are vertical members 31, one of which may be a plate to which ballasts 39 are attached. V
As will be seen best in FIG. 5, the inner face of each of the side sections 13 and 14 of the module frame contain horizontal angle members 40 and vertical members 41, which, between them, support an elongated lamp box 42 in which are mounted two reading lamp means 43.
Also, the frame members support a smaller lamp box 44 in which an observation lamp 45 is'positioned. This lamp is a small wattage lamp, and to guard against the possibility of a larger lamp being inserted, a stop 46 is mounted in the lamp box 44. A ceiling lamp box 47 is mounted in the framework adjacent the upper plate 33 thereof.
As will be seen in FIG. 6, the other face of each side section of the module contains horizontally disposed members, preferably angles, between which vertical angles 50 are fixed. Fixed to angles 50 are an oxygen valve 51 and a suction valve 53 to which supply tubes 52 and 54 are connected, respectively.
As will be seen best in FIGS. 1, 9 and 10, the framework is covered by backwall paneland each side section of the module is covered by an inner face panel 61 and the outer surfaces by an outer face panel 62. Panels 61 carry lamp lenses 63 which may be composed of glass or plastic, as desired, and also lamp lenses 64 that cover the observation lamps.
A cove molding 65 is installed at the junction of panels 60 and 61 to give a pleasing appearance to the module.
The framework of the module is composed of metal, preferably steehand the cover panels 60, 61 and 62 are also composed of steel, the exposed surfaces of which are painted with a color that is the same as, or one that harmonizes with, the color of the walls of the room. If desired, panels 60, 61 and 62 may be covered with a suitable covering material, such as vinyl, which may be of any desired color and may be either plain or patterned, as desired. The. resulting structure renders the side sections of the module completely encased and electrical wiring contained therein is protected sufficiently to render conduits and the like unnecessary. Wiring extending from one side of the module to the other can be extended through cross-channel 28 which protects it.
Attached to the front frame channels 37 are trim channels 66 which carry wooden inserts 67 that are faced with veneers 68 which are colored and grained to harmonize with the coloring and grain of the head of the bed and the bedside cabinet.
Mounted in each trim channel 66 is an upper switch 70, a lower switch 71 and an outlet socket 72. Also mounted in the trim channel is a ground bar 73 and a pair of sockets 74. Also mounted in each bottom plate flange 36 is a bed outlet socket 76.
As will be seen best in FIGS. 6, 8 and 10, projecting through an opening in thebottom plate 35 is a night lamp 80, the housing 81 of which is supported in a slotted bracket 82. This permits the lamp to be moved upwardly into the module thereby to prevent damage to the lamp during transportation and installation of the module. In certain instances, a night lamp may not be wanted by a hospital and the housing 81 can be pushed up into the module and retained therein.
Also mounted in plate 35 is a communications receptacle 83 which is a multi-point receptacle and serves to extend the communications cable to the bedside cabinet and also to extend electric power to the bedside cabinet. Also mounted in the bottom plate 35 is a telephone receptacle 84. As indicated in FIG. 6, to guard against the possibility of interference between the electrical equipment and the telephone line, the leads to the telephone receptacle 84 can be extended through a vertical tube 25 or 26. v
As will be seen best in FIG. 10, secured to the flange 36 of the bottom plate 35 is a member 85 shaped to p0 sition the head end of a bed in a desired location with respect to the module. Preferably member 85 is composed of wood, although the use of other materials is contemplated. The member 85 is faced with a facing 86 which may be rubber or a resilient plastic, as desired.
As will be seen in FIGS. 8 and 9, an electrical junction box 90, communication terminal blocks 91 and gas tubes 52 and 54 are all located in one side section of the module. This arrangement is for illustration only. With the bedside cabinet on the left side of the bed as shown in FIG. 1, the box 90 and the blocks 91 would be located on top of side section 13 of the module and the gas tubes 52 and 54 would be located on top of side section 14. The conductors of the communication cable 92 are fanned out on the blocks 91 and on the receptacle 83. Communication cable 92 is extended from the blocks 91 into the adjacent vertical tube 25 or 26 thence out of the tube to the receptacle 83. A box 94 covers the cable 92 and that part of the receptacle to which the cable conductors are connected to eliminate the possibility of interference between the 120 volt leads and the communication circuits. The electrical wiring is extended from the various switches, etc., and
the junction box in the manner best seen in the circuit diagram in FIG. 19.
In certain instances, a 240 volt circuit may be required. FIGS. 6 and 8 show an outlet box 55 in which a 240 receptacle may be mounted.
As will be seen in FIG. 1, an examining light is located near the top of the inner surface wall 61 of the side section 13 of the module. A similar light is located on the corresponding surface of side section 14. As will be seen in FIGS. 7 and 11 through 15, the louver housing 95 is supported on the outer surface of the side panel 61 by a generally A shaped bracket 96 by a pivot pin 97 which permits limited rotation of the housing around the axis of the pin.
' An examining lamp 98, preferably 'a spotlight of about 75 watts power, is mounted in the distal end of the'bracket 96. A louver 99 is fixed in the housing to direct the light beam. A face plate 100 fixed to the housing and located on the side of panel 61 opposite bracket 96, contains a grid which aids in directing the light beam.
Fixed upon plate 100 is a boss 101 in which a notched lock pin 102 is journaled. A lock cap 103 is threaded upon pin 102. Unscrewing the cap loosens the pin and permits movement of the housing and louver to direct the light beam to a desired spot. The lock pin is them tightened to secure the beam at that spot.
Switches 70 and 71 are not available to a patient in the bed. In FIG. 1, we have shown a bedside cabinet 20 as an example of one of the many cabinets that can be used with the module. The details of the cabinet are not of the essence of the present invention. As will be seen in FIG. 2, the cabinet contains a switch by which reading lamps 43 are controlled. Switch 115 is a threeposition switch. In the center position, lamps 43 on both sides of the module are extinguished. In one end position, one lamp 43 'on each side of the module is operated. In the other end position, both lamps 43 on both sides of the module are operated.
The cabinet also contains a switch 116 by which the ceiling lights-48 are operated, and an outlet 117 which renders commercial current available to a patient.
The wiring diagram of the core module shown in the drawings is shown in FIG. 19. As shown, the junction box 90 is equipped with an insulatingblock 120 that carries eleven pairs of terminals, Power is supplied to the module by the three wire lead system now commonly used. The ground of the power supply is connected to grounding terminal 121 to apply ground to the framework of the core module.
The power conductor of .the power supply, not shown, will be connected to righthand terminal 1 to supply power to the lamp switches 70 and 71 and night lamp 80 of the module through wires connected to the lefthand terminal of pair 1 on the block 120. The neutral conductor of thepower supply will be connected to terminal 2 and wires leading to the lamps in the module are connected to the lefthand terminal of pair2.
The power supply will also be connected to the right terminal of pair 3 and wires connected to the left terminal of pair 3 will supply power to the receptacles 72, 74 and one of the receptacles 76. Neutral will be connected to right terminal 4 and wires connected to the left terminal of pair 4 will extend neutral to these terminals. 1
Power and neutral will be connected to right terminals 5 and 6, respectively, and wires extending from the left terminals of this pair will extend to receptacle 122 through which the bedside cabinet will be connected by a plug 122'. For clarity herein, receptacle 122 is shown as a separate unit although, as explained heretofor, the six wires leading to the receptacle will be connected to points in receptacle 83 as shown at 93 in FIG. 8, and conductors connected to plug 122 will be included in the plug connected to receptacle 83.
Most hospitals provide an emergency power supply which is used when the normal power supply fails. Emergency power and neutral, when provided, will be connected to right contacts 7 and 8, respectively, and wires connected to the left contacts of these pairs will extend to the receptacle 76a to which the hospital bed can be connected if needed. This arrangement permits operating the bed even though the main power supply has failed. I
In certain instances, 240 volt supply may be required. 240 volt leads are connected to the right terminals 9, 10 and 11, and wires to 240 volt receptacle 123 connected to the left terminals. Receptacle 123 will be located in a special box such as box 55 shown in FIGS. 6 and 8.
From FIG. 19 it will be seen that the ceiling lights 48 and 75 watt bulbs which are controlled'by'switch 116 in the bedside cabinet. The examining lights 98 are 75 watt spotlight type bulbs controlled by theupper switches 70 on the side sections of the core module. Switches 70 arethree pole. single throw switches connected in multiple so that operation of either of the two switches 70 will operate both of the examining lights. in addition to lighting lamps 98, switches 70 operate both reading lamps 43 in both side sections and also operate the ceiling lamp 48 in both side sections. Through this arrangement, adequate light is provided and examination of a patient can beaccomplished without the use of an auxiliary examining light. Since switches 70 are connected in multiple, the switch used to turn on the examining lights must be used to turn them off.
The observation lights 45 are shownto belS watt lamps and are controlled by the lighted switches 71 upon the core module. Switches 71 are single pole dou- Each of the receptacles 72 on the side sections of the core module are protected by the circuit breaking means 72', the reset button of which is available immediately above the socket. Each receptacle 72 is a threewire receptacle and the ground is connected to the frame of the module. The two receptacles 76 and 76a by which the power may be supplied to the hospital bed, are each protected by a circuit breaking means 76 and 76a, the reset button of which is located just above the receptacle. The ground connection of these receptacles are likewise connected to the frame of the module.
The upper receptacle 74 on each side of the side sections of the module are each protected by circuit breakers 74', the reset button of which is available im'-' mediately above the receptacle. The ground connection of each of the receptacles is connected to the frame of the module. The lower receptacles 74 on each side of the side section of the module are also protected by a circuit breaker 74, the reset buttons of which are located immediately above the receptacle. The ground connection of each receptacle is connected to the frame of the module.
In one instance, the circuit breakers 72 and 74' are arranged to open the circuit to the socket when the current therethrough exceeds 15 amperes.
In the drawings, circuit breakers 72' and 74' are shown. In certain instances, these devices may be replaced by cartridge type fuses, if desired.
In October, 1962, the United States Department of Health, Education'and Welfare, published a bulletin directed to lighting of hospital patient rooms. This publication wasNo. 930,-D-3. With the wattage of the vari ous lamps as above specified, the conditions specified in this bulletin are met or exceeded in every instance. The use of vertically disposed lamps provides a reading lamp intensity superior to any heretofor used, even 1 when the head section of the bed is elevated and the pablethrow switches arranged so that the operation of eifloor of the room alongside ofthe bed.
Two ballasts 39 are provided and circuit to both of these ballasts controlled by switch 115 upon the bedside cabinet. Switch 115 is a three-position double pole switch having a neutral position in which the circuit through the switch is open. When the switch 115 is closed to its upper position, the ballast connected only to the rear one of the fluorescent lamps on each side is energized, illuminating only those lamps. When the switch 115 is thrown to its lower position, all lamps on each side are energized.
As shown in the drawings, lamps 43 are fluorescent lamps and while this type of lamp is advantageous in that it provides a soft light of intensity sufficient for the purpose intended, the use of other types of lamps is contemplated. In certain instances, it may be advantageous to use tubular incandescent lamps or a string of vertically aligned incandescent lamps uniformly spaced apart. With incandescent lamps, ballasts 39 will not be needed.
tient is in a sitting position.
7 'As will be seen in FIG. 16, a mounting frame is used to mount the module upon the headwall of a patients room. This frame consists of a horizontalchannel 106, the web 107 of which is secured to the studding in convenient manner, as by welding. Bolts 108 are projected through the web and secured thereon by welding. Vertical channels 104 extend upwardly from the ends of, channel 108 and the webs of these channels contain a plurality of uniformly spaced apart bolt holes. A ceiling boot is secured to each channel 104 by a bolt extendingthrough one of the boltholes in channel 104. Since the module 10 is to be mounted a predetermined distance above the floor 16 of the room, the top of the module will be a fixed distance above that floor. Ceiling heights in hospital rooms vary over a wide range. The bolt holes. in channels 104 permit locating the ceiling boots 105 at the proper place for a particular ceiling.
As will be seen in FIGS. 4 and 17, the top horizontal bar 27 of the module framework is a rectangular tube. The upper wall of tube 27 contains a-pair of holes through each of which the shank of a collared screw 114 is projected with the collar 114' of that screw engaging the inner face of that wall. A washer surrounds the shank of screw 114 and a pin is projected through the shank to hold the screw in the bar. A leveling wedge 113 is threaded upon each screw 114. The bottom and side walls of the bar 27 are cut away to permit placing the wedge within the bar.
As will be seen best in FIG. 18, each bracket 109 is secured to channel 106 by bolt 108. When the module is hung on the wall brackets 109 extend through the cut away portions of bar 27 into engagement with leveling wedges 113. Channels 106 are supposed to be horizontal. The shanks of screws 114 are shaped to receive a wrench by which the screws can be turned to raise or lower the wedges 118 as required to level the module.
As will be seen in FIGS. 4 and 8, the bottom plate 31 contains perforations shown to be three in number through which screws are extended to fix the bottom of the module with respect to the headwall. As will be seen in FIG. 8, the plate 31 has an upwardly extending flange 110 portion spaced a slight distance from vertical members of the framework. The plate also has a flare 1 11 at its lowest edge. After the screws have been inserted through the plate, a cover plate 112 is hooked over the flange 110 and atits lower'ends snapped over the flare 111 to complete the mounting of the module upon the wall. The cover plate 112 is the only part of the core module that is added to the module at the point of mounting of the same.
From the foregoing it will be apparent that the core module of the present invention possesses many advantages. Since the module is completely fabricated, equipped, wired, tested and enclosed at the factory for shipment to a hospital as a unitary structure to be mounted upon the headwall of a patients room, the cost of constructing the headwall is greatly reduced since it is an ordinary wall, except for the addition of a mounting plate or channel for each bed to be installed against the wall. The core modules are equipped with eight outlets so that ample outlets are available for connecting up whatever electrical equipment that is to be used with the bed. Each outlet is protected by a circuit breaker so the danger of overloading the circuit is eliminated. Each side of the module'is equipped with a grounding bar to which grounds required by equipment used in connection with the treatment of the patient can be connected in a convenient'manner.
The provision of vertically disposed lamp means positioned outwardly from the headwall of the room and having reflectors directing the light across the bed from each side thereof is advantageous. A patient in the bed holding reading material in a normal reading position will find that material adequatelyv lighted and free from shadows. A patient sitting in an upright position in a retractable bed will find this lighting an improvement over lighting available heretofor.
Referring now to the embodiment of FIGS. 20 through 26, there is illustrated a slightly modified form of the invention. A service unit or module generally designated 210 is shown which includes a wall section 211 adapted to be mounted upon the headwall of a hospital room. It further includes a pair of side sections 213 and 214 extending forwardly from the wall section. As in the previous embodiment, the module is associated with a hospital bed 219 and a bedside cabinet 220.
As last seen in FIG. 21, the service unit includes a framework generally similar to the framework of the previous embodiment and which defines the wall and side sections. It comprises interconnected vertical channels and tubes 225, horizontal bars 227, and horizontal cross channel 228. The upper and lower ends of the side sections 213 and 214 are enclosed by apertured plates 231 and 233 as in the previous embodiment.
The wall section 211 is covered by a decorative backwall panel 260 and each side section is covered with a face panel 261 hinged to the backwall panel, as at 262, to provide access to the interior of each side section.
As in the embodiment of FIG. 1, each side section 213 and 214 is provided with a plurality of lighting facilities. Also, the headwall section 211 is clear; that is, none of the patient care facilities are provided in the headwall portion. This is important in that the possibility of accidents and injuries due to inadvertent contact of fracture equipment, I.V. rods, or other equipment normally utilized adjacent the bed headboard with the service facilities of the module 210 are eliminated.
Each side section includes an observation lamp 24-5, a ceiling lamp 247, a reading lamp 243 and an examining light 298. These lamps include fixtures supported upon the framework of the module internally of the face panels 261. Lamp lenses are provided in the side face panels 261 in overlying relation to the respective lamps. The face panels may be hinged open at the hinges 262 to service the lamp units.
The side sections additionally include night lamps 280 which burn continuously and provide minimal illumination to aid hospital personnel in moving about on night duty.
As seen in FIG. 22, the side sections 213 and 214 include outer panels 360. At least one of the side sections 213 and 214 may include facilities for medical gas services. As illustrated, appropriate valves are supported on the framework, such as oxygen valve 251 and suction valve 253 and are available at the outer panel 360.
The outward extremities of the side sections 213 and 214 are provided with channels of anodized aluminum. Portions of these channels are covered with high pressure laminate inserts 267 for decorative purposes.
The channels may also support grounding receptacles 273 which provide grounding means for medical lreatment apparatus. The receptacles include apertures for insertion of common sizes of grounding plugs. The receptacles are connected by a braided ground lead disposed internally of the framework. The lead is, in turn, connected to the building ground. The braided lead is sized to provide equal'potential grounding regardless of which of the receptacles 273 are utilized.
The module 210 of the embodiment of FIG. 20 includes electrical operating switches, electrical receptacles, receptacle grounds and fuses, communication wiring and services, telephone services and emergency power arranged generally similarly to those of the embodiment of FIG. 1. However,' it should be noted that many and varied modifications of these features may be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
Electrical, electronic and gas facilities are connected to the service unit or module 210-from the ceiling of the hospital room. The modules'are completely prewired, piped and assembled and are provided with means available at the upper end of one or both of the side sections 213 and 214, to facilitate these connections. .For example, in the illustrated embodiment, a low voltage terminal block 291 and a line voltage junction box 290 are provided for electonic and electrical connections. Exposed pipes 254 are provided for connection to the hospital gas systems.
Service covers 217 are provided which extend between the upper plates 233 of the side sections 213 and 214 to cover the service connections. In this embodimeat, as best seen in FIG. 22, each service cover includes an elongated columnar portion 218 having a width less than the outward protrusion of the side sections 213 and 214. The columnar portions extend between the top plate 233 of the side sections and the ceiling and conceal the service facilities.
Each columnar section is formed of two longitudinally slidable members which may be adjusted to accommodate varying ceiling heights. A gasket web 219 is secured to the headwall of the bed and receives the abutting edges of the columnar portion. A ceiling gasket 221 receives the upper end of the columnar portion adjacent the ceiling of the room.
A low profile portion 223 of the service cover extends between the outer extremity of theside sections 213 and 214 and the columnar portion 217. [t overlies and conceals the terminal block 291. This portion 'of the cover may be readily removed for securing of the communication and electronic systems without disturbing the columnar portions of the covers.
The reading lamps 243 of the embodiment of FIG. 22 are similar to the reading lamps of the-previously described embodiment. Switches are similarly provided to control the sequence of, operation as in the embodiment of FIG. 1.
The lamps 243 each include a housing 300 supported by the patient service unit framework. As shown. in
F i6. 23, the housing 300 of each lamp forms a reflector 301 adjusted to maximize the reflected light outward in a generally convergent pattern toward the patient area.
Lenses 302 are provided in the side face panels 261 which overlie the lamps 243. Each is adapted to diffuse the emitted light to reduce glare and concentrate the light rays on the desired area of use, regardless of elevation of the head portion of the bed 219.
As best seen in FIG. 24, the lens 302 associated with each lamp 243 is formed of translucent plastic and includes a plurality of longitudinally extending vertical flutes 304 upon its exterior surface. In addition, a plurality of horizontally disposed prismic projections 305 are provided on the interior'surface.
l The flutes 304 diffuse the light rays horizontally and the prismic notches 30S refract the light rays vertically.
Prismic notches 305 reduce direct outwardlight rays to a minimum and eliminatev disturbing glare. Also, the light directed upwardly provides soft illumination for the general area and the downwardly and inwardly directed rays concentrate the light for patient reading comfort. Utilizing 30 wattfluorescent tubes with allthose of the previous embodiment. These lights include a high density light source in the form of a quartz halogen bulb 306 supported in a parabolic reflector 307. Each light source 306 and reflector 307 is supported in one side section 213 and 214 upon a tunnel like hous ing 308 shown in FIGS. 21, 22 and 23. This arrangement for positioning of the light sources inwardly of the side sections 213 and 214 provides a generally convergent light pattern and places them out of the normal field of vision of individuals facing the module unit 210. This reduces the direct glare which would. interfere with the examination process.
The parabolic reflector 307 includes a plurality of generally rectangular facets positioned to concentrate light upon the'bed surface. Utilizing a 150 watt 120 volt quartz halogen lamp in each examination light, and with the reading light on, a minimum of 150 foot candles is provided at the bed surface, head end, 125 foot candles at the torso area and foot candles at the foot area.
I A lens 310 is provided in each face panel 261 in overlying relation to the open end of the tunnel like housing 308. The lens 310 is formed of glass which reflects heat inwardly backtoward the light source. This prevents impingement of undesirable heat rays upon the bed or upon the patient. This is particularly important in burn cases where any amount of external heat causes extreme discomfort. A suitable glass lens is thick rolled tempered Owens-Corning Pyrex (trademark) glass having an infra-red reflective coating upon the inner surface.
.The night lights 280, best seen in FIG. 26, are supported within an aperture in each of the lower plates 231 of the side sections 213 and 214.
The lights 280 include a housing 311 supported upon each of the lower plates 231 by a hinge 312. The housing 31! defines a cover 313 and an open end 314 for light emission. It is pivotal between a closed position with the cover 313 overlying the aperture and an open position with the open end 314 directed angularly downwardly. A spring 315 acts against one edge of the lower plate 231 to retain the light in the closed position. When open, a corner of the housing 311 engages the lower plate to retain the housing in the open position for direction of light angularly downwardly upon the floor generally parallel to thebed.
A 7.5 watt l20 volt bulb is utilized in each night light. This provides adequate illumination to silhouette the bed, adjacent furniture and other objects to permit movement withinthe room.
The service unit 210 is supported upon the headwall of the hospital room'by a' bracket 317 shown in FIGS. 21, 23 and 25. The bracket includes a pair of spaced apart upwardly direct ed hooks 319. The hooks include oblique load receiving surfaces which engage mating surfaces 321 associated with the service unit to support the unit upon thewall. i
Bracket 317 is secured to the headwall by toggle bolts 322. The toggle bolt includes a wing portion 327 which is inserted internally of the wall through appropriately formed apertures in the bracket and headwall. Tightening of the toggle bolt causes the wing to engage the inner surface of the headwall and draw the bolt head inwardly.
The toggle bolts cooperate with cup-shaped retainers 323 which urge the bracket 317 against the wall and also receive shear loads between the wall and bracket to prevent vertical movement of the bracket.
The cup-shaped retainers each include an apertured central web 324 which receives the head of the toggle bolt 322. It further includes a tubular wall 325 and a flange 326 extending radially outwardly of the tubular wall. 7
The radial flange 326 engages the outer surface of the bracket 317. As the bolt is tightened, the flange forces against the bracket to urge it against the wall.
The tubular wall 325 is sized approximately to the diameter of the apertures in the bracket 317 and headwall through which the wing portions 327 are passed.

That's awesome that you're from Australia! I've always wanted to visit. ;3 & everyone always makes that kangaroo generalization although it's very untrue, haha. xD
Wow, you're one of the first people I've seen who have said their favorite game is LeafGreen. It always seems as if FR/LG never get the amount of credit they truly deserve. I personally love, love, love my LeafGreen version and I'm really glad they did make those remakes. I love SoulSilver/HeartGold, too. :D All of the remakes are excellent.
I used to be a card collector but I haven't bought a pack of the trading cards in years. I might actually go do that soon to rekindle old memories.
Don't worry about any mistakes you've made! & btw, your introduction was very nicely written and you're definitely not bad at making them! :p
I hope you enjoy your time here and really do hope you stay active!

Outing Information Only / Re: Back to Damon 7 Lakes, 2015-10-24« on: October 24, 2015, 01:08:20 PM »
Updated: Late Friday afternoon I drove out to Damon Seven Lakes and stayed overnight so that early Saturday morning I could help Mike Arnold sign-in people for the D7L outing. Visited with Mike and Matt Arnold Friday night. In the morning Mike and I set things up for registration at 6:30 am. Five people came between 6:45 and 7:30. I opted to leave early as I did not want to get caught in heavy rain later on. The others stayed until about 1: 00 pm. As it turned out, only a light rain came down the entire time at seven lakes making for a fishable outing. Thanks to Michael Quigley, Tracy Quigley, Greg Mills, Monica Williamson, and Bill Johnson for braving the weather to fish the D7L outing. I also want to thank Mike Arnold and Matt Arnold for working to set up and host this event. Both constantly put in a lot of work into improving D7L.

So much for striking while the iron's hot. Instead of rushing out an album right after his ouster from the 2005 edition of "American Idol," Constantine Maroulis has spent the past two years indulging his love of musical theater, acting in a soap opera and putting together an empire under his snarkily named Sixth Place Productions banner.
(Are you an "Idol" junkie? Don't miss our recap of the Wednesday night finale, see a 60-second recap, watch our carpet coverage here, and read about Sanjaya and Carrie Underwood strutting their stuff on the red carpet. )
"I'm an actor, I love to host and I'm a singer. I did Broadway, and I produced my own tours and started my own label," said Maroulis, who appeared on Broadway in "The Wedding Singer" musical and is currently playing a singer on the daytime drama "The Bold and the Beautiful" (see "Constantine Maroulis Hopes For 'Roseanne'-Type Success" ). "Would I trade all that work for making one successful album right off the show? I don't have that answer. I think this record is better than the one I could have made right off the show. It's more grassroots — I picked the band, financed it and co-wrote a bunch of the songs."
The album, titled Constantine, will drop August 7 on his label, with distribution from Sony/Red. Self-proclaimed "blue-collar guy" Maroulis is confident that his fans will find it and buy enough copies to keep him on the road. "I can sell a couple hundred thousand copies and do what I love to do: play clubs," he said. "I don't need to be a huge star."
Just in case, though, he did bring in some ringers, including Matchbox Twenty singer Rob Thomas, who co-wrote a song on the album, as well as Nashville songwriter Angie Aparo (Faith Hill's "Cry"). "It's got a distinctly rock sound, kind of an East Coast Bon Jovi/Rob Thomas vibe with great pop hooks," Maroulis said. The first single, "Everybody Loves," has been featured on "The Bold and the Beautiful" and is on iTunes now. The next single, "Girl Like You," will soon be tied to a story line on the show.
Season four's other rocker, #2 finisher Bo Bice, is also prepping an album for later this year: his yet-untitled sophomore release. His 2005 debut, The Real Thing, featured assists from Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, Nickelback's Chad Kroeger and former Evanescence member Ben Moody that were brokered by Bice's label (see "Intestines, 'Idol,' Baby And Bon Jovi Helped Inspire Bo Bice's Debut" ). The longhaired Southern rocker says he called the shots this time around.
The album, which Bice is recording with noted country producer Frank Liddell (Faith Hill, Dixie Chicks), features the music hound's wish list of famed session masters. "I was throwing around ideas of the people I wanted to play on it," Bice said. "And I was like, 'Yeah, sure, these guys will play on my album. Right!' " But a few phone calls landed him Rolling Stones keyboardist Chuck Leavell — who Bice met a decade ago when he delivered a package of Christmas CDs to Leavell's house — as well as Black Crowes drummer Steve Gorman, legendary session guitarist Waddy Wachtel (Keith Richards, Tom Waits) and bluegrass icon David Grisman.
"It's a star-studded cast, and I'm the only one on there who's not famous," the ever-humble Bice joked. "I picked and co-wrote the songs that if I was a guy who would be spending my hard-earned money buying an album I would want to hear." That means original back-to-basics Southern rock and country-tinged singer/songwriter tunes co-written with A.J. Croce (son of 1970s singer Jim Croce) and Chris Tompkins (Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats").
Bice said he wrote 31 songs for the album and is narrowing down the list to 10-12 that will make the final cut, including four songs that are currently vying to be the first single.
"I didn't have a lot to do with the first record," said Bice, who took time off in late 2006 to have another surgery to finally correct a nagging intestinal blockage that hospitalized him 15 times last year. "It was very RCA and Clive [Davis]-driven. It was an excellent album, but it was a revolving door of one guy in this week, another guy the next. This time I was here for every aspect [of it], and I'm a lot more comfortable."
Bice and Maroulis were the trailblazers for rock singers on "Idol." They paved the way for the show's latest breakout star, last season's #4 finisher Chris Daughtry, a fact Bice takes pride in (see "If It Weren't For Bo, Could Chris Rock Out On 'Idol'?" ).
"It made me proud that Chris said I was part of what inspired him to audition," said Bice, who is in the midst of an acoustic U.S. tour. "There was never a bone in my body that thought I was going to win or make it that far. To see people progress and see more rock people on there makes me proud."
Bice has eight dates left on his acoustic tour, according to his management: Yuma, Arizona (Saturday); Anaheim, California (Tuesday); West Hollywood, California (Wednesday); San Diego (Thursday); Bakersfield, California (June 1); Tucson, Arizona (June 3); Odessa, Texas (June 7); and Dallas (June 9).Get your "Idol" fix on MTV News' "American Idol" page, where you'll find all the latest news, interviews and opinions.

Latest Headlines
BYOD is posing challenges for legal e-discovery and employee privacy, warned V. John Ella, an attorney at the law firm of Jackson Lewis in Minneapolis, Minn., in a StarTribune article.
A number of recent court cases have clarified some of the legal issues around BYOD, observed Amanda Towney, an associate at the law firm of DLA Piper.
BYOD programs bring plenty of focus on data security and employee privacy issues. But what about legal challenges, such as electronic discovery?
The latest wave of wearable mobile technology is on the market, and what's on the market will inevitably try to make its way inside the doors of the enterprise. Organizations that have, until now, had little interaction between the CIO shop and the legal department could soon find the carpet wearing thin between the offices.
Close to half of North American companies do not have a data governance policy in place, even though 82 percent face external regulatory requirements for stored data, according to a survey of 454 organizations in 11 industries by Rand Worldwide.
Oftentimes, litigation or regulatory action requires a company to turn over electronic data under its control to the court or agency, a process known as electronic discovery. Clear BYOD policies can protect a firm should data located on an employee's personal device become part of the e-discovery process.
By now, BYOD is a familiar acronym. If you're lucky, FRCP and ESI are less familiar. But of course the CIO has to know them.
The electronic discovery process--e-discovery--is a challenging one for many organizations, and soaring mountains of data are likely to make it more so in the years ahead, writes Thomas Barnett at CIO Insight. The ability to perform valid searches is key to survival in the new data-drenched environment.
The Los Angeles law firm of Glaser Weil Fink Jacobs Howard Avchen and Shapiro is a mid-sized firm, but it counts some very big names among its clients, including Keith Olbermann and Conan O'Brien. Specializing in business and entertainment litigation, the firm goes up against some of the largest law outfits in the country and relies on an IT infrastructure to rival theirs.
When Conan O'Brien discovered it was time to end his stint as host of "The Tonight Show," he hired the law firm of Glaser Weil Fink Jacobs Howard Avchen and Shapiro to help negotiate his exit from NBC. Despite its large name, Glaser Weil is a mid-sized firm with only about 100 attorneys. To go up against adversaries the size of a major broadcast network, it bolsters its legal expertise with leading-edge IT.

Hey guys,
So long time MTBer; soon to add a decent road bike to my stable. I have a question about handlebar position and the proper ways to ride a drop bar.
Short backstory: was recently on leave in Tenerife, and rented a road bike to see if I liked road biking and to get some ideas about what I do and don't like in a bike before I buy. Started off with a 58cm Leader, and when I broke the paddle thingy on the Campy shifter, exchanged it for a 56cm Mrazek.
The 56cm frame was clearly a better fit, but on both bikes, with the drops "level" I had to cock my wrists up to be able to reach the brakes and shifters, and the the position was really uncomfortable.
It felt like maybe a shorter stem would help... but lacking a shorter stem, I made do by rotating the bars downwards. This straightened out my wrists and put the brakes withing reach. It also moved my grip more into the "crook" of the bars, which was more comfortable.
The side effect, of course, is that it rotates the hoods forward too. I was OK with that, because I was only going to have the bike for 2 weeks, and I spent most of my time in the drops anyway. Ugly, yes, but it worked for me at the time.
But as I pay more and more attention to pictures of roadies and their bikes, it looks like most of you rarely spend any time in the drops, and the preferred position is to grip the hoods.
So I'm a little confused - it doesn't look like there's enough leverage to really use the brakes on the hoods. I suppose one can shift from that position... but it doesn't look easy. And with the hoods up that far, the brake levers seem too far away to work well in the drops.
So what gives? What is the proper relationship between bars and levers? How is it supposed to work?

The Consumer Awareness Act of Future Premium Rates For Long-Term Care Insurance
In this model legislation published by ALEC, the bill's aim is to,
be introduced in conjunction with the Long-Term Care Insurance Act. Its purpose is to protect the consumer from unknowing increases in future premium rates when purchasing long-term care insurance policies. ALEC's bill stipulates that all long-term care insurance policies must state that the policy premium rates may rise based on claims incurred by all policyholders. Any representation that the policyholder's rates will not rise is unauthorized and should not be relied upon.

Cotton Textile Industry-Investment Touches $4 Billion
Memon, Noor Ahmed, Economic Review
The textile sector has invested about $4 billion during last four years which has led to improvement in productivity, both in terms of quality and quantity in yarn, fabrics, home textiles and garments, besides generating more than 300,000 new jobs. Textile is the only sector in the country, which has prepared itself to face the tariff-free regime of WTO scheduled to begin from first day of 2005.
The Textile Commissioner's office has also estimated total investment in over $4 billion in the textile industry during 1999-2003. This includes $1.60 billion in foreign currency being the cost of imported machinery and equipment. Another $700 million investment is in infrastructure and $1.7 billion in acquisition of equipments and parts from domestic engineering industry.
Official estimate depicts that out of $4 billion investment, a sum of $1.83 billion has gone in spinning that includes $864 million in import of machinery, $370 million in development of infrastructure and $600 million worth of machinery and equipment from domestic engineering industry.
Weaving sector has received $722 million, processing $724 million, knitting $173 million, garments $100 million and synthetic $450 million. Spinning is the most capital intensive segment of the textile sector, but value added sectors--home textiles and garments--require relatively less capital investment, but they create more jobs.
Import of textile machinery during the fiscal year 2002-03 was about $525 million. It is about 29% more than about $406 million of textile machinery imported during the fiscal 2001-02. In the last three years, the textile operators imported more than $1 billion worth of machinery. The spinning sector has obviously received the highest attention and resources followed by weaving and then various sub-sectors of value added segments.
Market circles say that there are about 20 textile groups who are sound and conscious of the demands of export market. They have made bulk of the investment in the last four years and still are engaged in doing so. Import of textile machinery in Pakistan is given in Table-I.
Heavy investment and modernization has started paying the textile industry. At present, textile industry is comprised of 453 textile mills in the country (54 composite units and 399 spinning units) with 9.26 million spindles and 148 thousand rotors. Out of this, 7.59 million spindles and 69 thousand rotors are in operation. The capacity utilisation stagnated at 82% in spindles and 47% in rotors during the year 2002-03. The spinning sector of textile industry has shown an impressive growth during the fiscal year 2002-03.

jaynegrote says You are saying in photographs what most people feel about the intrusion into our lives by the government since 9/11. My husband is a commercial pilot and I cannot tell you how many ordinary things he had confiscated in the weeks following that horrific moment in time. Thanks.

Bollywood filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh Thursday said Indian cinema needs to go global and subtitles can help audiences worldwide understand and appreciate the films.
"We should be looking at global cinema. There's no reason why our films cannot go out there with subtitles," Ghosh said during a session at the third Kolkata Literary Meet here.
He stressed on how critical it is to capture the audience's attention.
"Primary battle inside a cinema hall is to grab the audience's attention. People are more conscious of their time."
Filmmaker Aparna Sen, one of the panelists, highlighted the importance of innovation during filmmaking.
"We have to constantly think on our feet and try to innovate. We try to work with existing resources."
Music composer Shantanu Moitra shed light on the aspect of amalgamating art and the market.
"Art cannot be left completely to the market forces. Both have to co-exist," he said, adding that internet and technology have provided a platform to regional artists and singers to showcase their talent.
