This application claims the benefit of Provisional Application No. 60/109,829 filed Nov. 25, 1998.
The field of the invention pertains to medical scalpels and, in particular, safe methods and apparatus for replacing the scalpel blade.
The typical medical scalpel blade is extremely sharp and held very rigidly in the scalpel handle. Even after too dull for continued use, the blade is extremely sharp and therefore potentially dangerous when manually removed from the scalpel handle for replacement. Moreover, in pathology laboratories, in particular, the dull blade may be contaminated with a variety of unknown, but very dangerous, pathogens such as hepatitis varieties, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and tetanus.
The scalpels are widely used in hospitals, laboratories and numerous industrial sectors. In a typical application, a scalpel blade is discarded after several uses and a new blade installed onto the scalpel handle. Because of the possible contamination with pathogens, the manual process of removing the dull blade from the scalpel handle is fraught with risk. U.S. Pat. No. 4,903,390 reveals a device wherein a scalpel user can insert a scalpel in a "box" containing a mechanism. The user maneuvers the scalpel in a specified way and the blade is detached from the handle. This device is only directed to removal of the dull scalpel blade. Attachment of a new blade to the scalpel handle is not addressed.
With a view toward substantially eliminating the hazards associated with exchanging blades on a scalpel, the following apparatus and method has been developed.
The purpose of the new invention is to eliminate the danger involved in changing scalpel blades and to increase user working efficiency.
The invention comprises a modified scalpel and a blade exchanging apparatus and method whereby insertion of the scalpel blade end into the apparatus causes the dull blade to be exchanged with a new blade on the scalpel in a few seconds.
The quick exchange is accomplished by a cam system that opens and closes the jaws or fingers that retain the blade on the scalpel and a dispenser that positions the new blade in the open jaws or fingers just prior to closure.
The new invention solves the problem of detaching and attaching scalpel blades in a matter of seconds without danger to the user. With a mere twist of the wrist, the user detaches the dull blade and attaches the new blade. Also, by the design of the apparatus, contact of the dull contaminated blade with the apparatus is substantially eliminated with the exception of a "protective ring" that is removable for separate sterilization. The protective ring minimizes the likelihood of inadvertent contact of the dull blade with the apparatus. In normal use, the dull blade need not contact the apparatus, the dull blade being allowed to merely fall into a sharps container upon turning of the scalpel handle thereby opening the scalpel jaws or fingers.

In FIG. 1 the scalpel 101 is inserted with the scalpel handle extending from the inlet positioning socket 102. The inlet positioning socket 102 only allows insertion in a particular orientation so that the clamping fingers 104 and 105 of the scalpel 101 can only be opened or closed in a horizontal direction. The inlet positioning socket 102 also limits the depth of scalpel insertion so that upon opening of the clamping fingers 104 and 105 the dull used blade 106 drops precisely into a sharps container 107 attached therebelow.
In FIG. 2 as shown, the clamping fingers 104 and 105 can be opened or closed by moving the two arms 108 and 109 attached to the respective clamping fingers. The two arms 108 and 109 are constrained to move in the slot 114. The motion of the two arms 108 and 109 is controlled by twisting the scalpel handle 111 relative to the scalpel frame 110. The internal mechanism of the scalpel 101 is further discussed below with respect to FIG. 10.
When the scalpel handle 111 is turned in the direction of arrow 112, the clamping fingers 104 and 105 open and the dull used blade drops into the sharps container 107. When a new blade is positioned between the clamping fingers 104 and 105 as discussed below, by turning the scalpel handle 111 in the direction of arrow 113 the clamping fingers will clamp the fresh blade therebetween. Finger 105 is formed with two short pins 115 and 116 as shown in FIG. 2. These short pins 115 and 116 fit through the slot 118 of blade 106, as best shown in FIG. 3 to secure the position of the blade in the clamped fingers 104 and 105.
FIG. 4 shows the process of clamping a new blade 117 onto the scalpel 101. First, as discussed further below, the apparatus places the new blade in position between the clamping fingers 104 and 105. Upon turning the handle 111 in the direction of arrow 113, the two clamping fingers 104 and 105 close in a manner that assures full tightness on the blade 117 at the tips of the fingers. Closure is shown in the sequence of FIGS. 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 wherein from FIG. 4.1 with the fingers 104 and 105 fully open and the pins 115 and 116 showing, the fingers first close to FIG. 4.2 wherein the tips of the fingers are shown tighter to the blade 117 than the balance of the fingers. A final slight twist to the handle 111 causes the fingers 104 and 105 to fully clamp the blade 117 as shown in FIG. 4.3.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, new blades 130 are dispensed from a cartridge 119 placed in a cartridge box 120. The cartridge box 120 is fixed to a sliding table 121 in turn actuated to reciprocate by a motor 122. The motor 122 is controlled electrically by a computer based motor controller for motion of the table 121 in backward direction 123 and forward direction 124.
An electromagnetic solenoid 125 is attached to the apparatus base 127 just below the open end of the cartridge box 120 and cartridge 119. An L-shaped pin 126 is attached to the solenoid plunger for movement therewith in directions shown by arrows 128 and 129 transverse to the movement of the table 121. Under computer control when the solenoid is moved in direction 128, the pin 126 is inserted into the slot in the stack of new blades in the cartridge 119. However, the pin 126 only reaches into the slot of the first blade. A key 345 is fixed to the base 127 of the apparatus. The key 345 engages a slot 346 in the solenoid plunger to prevent rotation of the plunger and misalignment of the pin 126.
The opening 131 in the cartridge 119 is sized to only permit one blade to exit the cartridge through the opening in the relative direction 132. Thus, after pin 126 is inserted into the next blade 130 in the cartridge 119, movement of the sliding table 121 in direction 123 pulls the next blade from the cartridge 119.
The step-by-step process for replacing a dull used blade with a new blade is illustrated in FIG. 6. FIG. 6.1 shows the new apparatus absent the insertion of a scalpel. Upon insertion of a scalpel 101 with a used dull blade 106 therein as shown in FIG. 6.2 the handle 111 is rotated (arrow 112) to open the clamping fingers 104 and 105 as shown in FIG. 6.3 and cause the old blade to be discarded as discussed above.
Next, as shown in FIG. 6.4, the cartridge box 120 and cartridge 119 move toward the scalpel 101 and into alignment with pin 126. Pin 126 extends into the next new blade 130 in the cartridge 119 in FIG. 6.5 and the cartridge box 120 and cartridge 119 retract as shown by arrow 123 in FIG. 6.6 leaving the new blade extended from the cartridge. The solenoid 125 retracts the pin 126 in FIG. 6.7 leaving the new blade 130 extended, and in FIG. 6.8 the cartridge 119 and cartridge box 120 move (arrow 124) toward the scalpel 101 thereby positioning the new blade 130 properly between the clamping fingers 104 and 105.
The handle 111 of the scalpel 101 is rotated back 113 to close the fingers 104 and 105 and clamp the new blade 130 as shown in FIG. 6.9 and the scalpel can be withdrawn from the apparatus as shown in FIG. 6.10. The cartridge box 120 then returns to standby position as shown in FIG. 6.11. The entire sequence of FIG. 6 takes only a matter of seconds for the complete cycle avoiding any contact by the user with the dull used blade or new blade in the blade exchange process.
As shown in FIG. 1, a non-contact photo-electric sensor 145 detects the opening or closing of the clamping fingers 104 and 105. Sensor 145 constantly emits a light beam that is reflected only when clamping finger 104 is directly thereunder. The receiver in sensor 145 senses the reflected light and signals the computer that an open scalpel is in place in the apparatus.
During the entire blade change process, the open scalpel fingers 104 and 105 are sensed by sensor 145 in FIG. 6.3 beginning the sequence of steps shown in FIGS. 6.4 through 6.9. In FIG. 6.10, the sensor 145 senses closure of the clamping fingers 104 and 105, and the computer causes the cartridge 119 and cartridge box 120 to retract in FIG. 11.
Two light emitting diode (LED) lights 147 and 148 indicate to the user the working status of the apparatus. LED 147 is a green light that indicates the apparatus is ready for the user to insert a scalpel into the socket 102. Upon rotating the scalpel handle 111, LED 148 lights in yellow indicating to the user that the apparatus is executing the series of steps to exchange a blade and that the user should not extract the scalpel from the apparatus. When the green LED light 147 returns, after the sequence of steps through FIG. 6.9, the user can safely remove the scalpel in the step of FIG. 6.10.
In FIG. 7, inlet positioning socket 102 comprises an elliptical bore having opposed maxima 151 and 152 that engage a pair of complementary maxima 153 and 154 on the scalpel frame 110 shown in FIG. 2. The scalpel frame 110 therefore is prevented from rotating when the scalpel is in the apparatus and, the handle 111 is rotated to open or close the clamping fingers 104 and 105. The socket 102 is also formed with a stop at 150 to limit the insertion of the scalpel into the apparatus. Therefore, the scalpel socket 102 precisely positions the scalpel in the apparatus during the blade exchanging process. The socket 102 may be made a separately disposable or sterilizable item in the event the socket is contaminated by a blade or scalpel frame.
FIGS. 8.1 and 8.2 show the internal structure of the cartridge 119. Inside the cartridge frame 157, a spring 158 urges the blades 161 up against the front panel 162. The spring 158 acts upon a block 156 which contacts the last blade in the cartridge blade stack. Two pins 159 and 160 align the blade stack, block 156 and spring 158. Both pins 159 and 160 terminate at the blade 164 second to the blade to be dispensed next as best illustrated in FIG. 8.2. Therefore, the blade 130 being dispensed can pass by the pins 159 and 160 which are in the blade slots of the blades 161 remaining in the cartridge as also shown in FIG. 5.
In FIG. 9 the cartridge 119 in the cartridge box 120 are shown on the table 121. The inner dimensions of the cartridge box 120 are sized to only permit convenient sliding of the cartridge 119 in and out of the box when replacing a spent cartridge. A stop 146 positions the cartridge 119 inside the box 120 for proper alignment of the new blade to be dispensed as also shown in FIG. 1. After a cartridge 119 is manually inserted into the box 120 and against the stop 146 a door 223 with a hinge 220 connection to the box 120 may be closed and latched with a pin 221 trapping a spring 222 between the door and the cartridge to retain the cartridge against the stop 146.
In FIG. 10 the components and structure of the scalpel 101 are illustrated. FIG. 10.1 illustrates in perpendicular partial cross-sections the mechanism principally inside the frame 110 of the scalpel. As shown above, the clamping fingers 104 and 105 extend from clamping arms 108 and 109 which, in turn, extend down into the frame 110.
The handle 111, also shown in FIG. 10.2, has two pins 188 and 189 affixed thereto and extending inside the frame 110. The handle 111 also includes an axial bore 187 extending inward at least beyond the slot 190. Pins 188 and 189 extend through holes 181 and 182 in driving disk 180 shown in FIG. 10.3. The driving disk 180 is thereby caused to rotate with the handle 111 relative to the frame 110 (see arrows 112 and 113 in FIG. 2). Formed in the driving disk 180 are a pair of cam slots 183 and 184.
Frame 110 illustrated in FIG. 10.4 is formed with a cylindrical bore 300 terminating with a solid covered panel 303 having the slot 114 formed in the panel as also shown in FIG. 2. The driving disk 180 is axially located inside the frame 110 by a pair of tubes 185 and 186 illustrated in FIGS. 10.5 and 10.6. The axial location is best shown in FIG. 10.1.
The base 193 of the frame 110 is illustrated in FIG. 10.7 wherein the upper part is formed with two screw holes 304 and 305 that match threaded holes 301 and 302 of the frame 110 (see FIG. 10.4) for attachment with screws 306 and 307 as shown in FIG. 10.1. The base 193 upper part is formed with two arcuate slots 194 and 198 through which pass the pins 188 and 189 and which allow the relative motion of the pins 188 and 189.
The clamping arms 108 and 109 are shown in FIG. 10.8 having holes 201 and 202 therethrough for short pins 311 and 312 to pass through. These pins 311 and 312 rotatably affix the clamping arms 108 and 109 to the base 193 just below the slot 200. Pin 191 tightly fits in hole 192 of base 193 and extends into slot 190 of the handle 111. Thus, handle 111 is constrained to rotatable motion relative to frame 110 without axial movement. Since the clamping arms 108 and 109 pass through the slot 200 in the base 193 and the slot 114 in the frame 110, they are constrained to move in a single axial plane. However, the combination of the separation distance of the pins 311 and 312 and the shape of the cam slots 183 and 184 through which the clamping arms 108 and 109 also pass forces the tips of the clamping fingers 104 and 105 to first contact as shown in FIG. 4.2 when the handle 111 is rotated to close (arrow 113).
Returning to FIGS. 1 and 7, FIG. 7.1 illustrates an optional snap-on protective cap 102A for the outside of socket 102. The protective cap is of throw-away plastic or sterilizeable metal and easily replaceable. The protective cap 102A intercepts inadvertent contact of the used dull and contaminated blade with the outside of the socket 102 thereby greatly reducing the likelihood of contamination of the apparatus. The new apparatus provides exchange of scalpel blades without contact of the blades and therefore under exceptionally sterile conditions.
A protective ring 340 may also be installed with screws 341 and 342 to protect against dull blades that do not fall directly into the sharps container 107. This ring 340 may also be either sterilizeable or throw-away.
FIG. 11 illustrates a flow diagram for the microprocessor control of the process and apparatus. In prototype testing, blade exchange is accomplished by a mere "twist of the wrist" for a few seconds while the yellow light is observed on the apparatus.
Under some conditions of use, blood and other fluids may cause a blade to stick to one clamping finger as the fingers open. In FIG. 12, an alternative form of the clamping finger pins is illustrated. The alternative form of the pins is directed to assuring that a dull contaminated blade will always dislodge from the pins and drop from the scalpel clamping fingers when they open. The pin shapes as shown are specifically formed to secure the blade from any relative movement with respect to the clamping fingers when closed.
In FIG. 12, clamping finger 404 includes a conical topped pin 415 near the tip and a conical topped pin 416 near its base. Both conical topped pins 415 and 416 have cylindrical shoulders 419 and 420 which form lands that engage the slot 118 of a blade 106 (see FIG. 3). With the clamping fingers 404 and 405 closed, the blade 106 engages the shoulders 419 and 420 thereby preventing movement of the blade relative to the fingers.
When the clamping fingers 404 and 405 open, the blade 106 is restrained between guides 506A and 506B as further described below with reference to FIG. 16. The guides ensure separation and detachment of a dull blade from pins 415 and 416.
FIG. 13 depicts a dual blade exchange version of the apparatus. The positioning socket comprises two positioning sockets 502A and 502B in a vertical arrangement. The sockets 502A and 502B are identical to permit a scalpel to be inserted into either of the sockets. One sharps container 507 is situated below to collect spent blades regardless of which socket 502A and 502B is selected. The green 547 and yellow 548 lights perform the same "ready" or "in operation" function as above but for either socket 502A or 502B in the dual version of the apparatus.
In FIG. 13, the power cord 533 and plug 535 are depicted to emphasize that, as an alternative, the plug 535 may be an integral step down low voltage supply for the apparatus. In some environments, such as an operating room, a low voltage supply is desirable where electrically conductive fluids, such as ordinary water and blood, may be splashed during major surgery.
Internally, the dual version of the apparatus includes upper 520A and lower 520B cartridge boxes having cartridges 519A and 519B located therein. The cartridges 519A and 519B may be filled with identical blades, thus doubling the supply, or the blades in cartridge 519A may differ in size or style from the blades in cartridge 519B.
The cartridge boxes 520A and 520B are stacked as shown and fastened to a sliding table in turn fastened to a slider 521A for reciprocation in a channel 521B. The channel 521B in turn is mounted on a base 527 as above.
Also mounted on the base 527 are dual solenoids 525A and 525B. Each solenoid 525A or 525B is electrically coordinated with the two positioning sockets 502A or 502B to provide solenoidal actuation only for the socket into which a scalpel has been inserted. The solenoids 525A and 525B extend the plates 526A and 526B in coordination with the socket in use to extract a blade from either cartridge 519A or cartridge 519B. Although shown with two cartridge boxes 520A and 520B, the apparatus may be constructed three or more high in cartridge boxes 520 and solenoids 525.
FIGS. 15A and 15B further depict in detail the alternate plates 526A and 526B of the dual version of the apparatus. Either plate 526A or 526B in FIG. 14 is affixed by any suitable fastening means at 545 to the corresponding solenoid plunger. The tip is insertable in the slot 118 of a blade 106 or 130 but limited to the thickness 537 of a blade by the stop 549 on the plate 526. The stop 549 contacts the blade 130 to prevent penetration further into the stack of blades 161 further in the cartridge.
Illustrated in FIGS. 16 and 17 is a detail of a device for assuring detachment of the spent blade 506 from the scalpel 501. Insertion of a scalpel frame into the upper 502A or lower 502B socket positions a small portion of the spent blade 506 between a pair of guides 506A and 506B adjacent the fingers 104 and 105. The guides 506A and 506B are fastened 503 to the dual socket 502. With insertion, twisting of the scalpel handle 111 causes fingers 104 and 105 to open and guides 506A and 506B assure the spent blade 506 is dislodged from the fingers and drops into sharps container 507.

16 yo boy present ideas?
Started by MakesMeHappy , Nov 22 2012 10:04 AM

Posted 22 November 2012 - 10:04 AM
I am after Christmas present ideas for my 16yo male cousin.
We are happy to spend $50-$70, but it can be under.
What I am finding hard is that he works full time (and earns a lot of money) so buys lots of things for himself. He is also very grown up from his age (read thinks he is older than he is)
I was thinking maybe aftershave or something like those lynx gift packs... Any other ideas???
Posted 22 November 2012 - 10:09 AM
Urgh.... for the sake of his poor parents and their poor noses don't get him a Lynx gift pack!
Isn't it all about iTunes cards these days?
Posted 22 November 2012 - 10:11 AM
what about a gold class voucher for the moves?
Posted 22 November 2012 - 10:11 AM
Maybe a lynx pack and an Itunes card (or PS3 card if he plays PS3).
My son has a specific lynx flavour he likes though (so you might need to find out from someone else which one he likes.
My teenage son is wanting a new phone, phone credit, hitman PS3 game. I might also give him a voucher for a sports store (for some shoes).
Posted 22 November 2012 - 10:34 AM
I have teen boys, so might be able to help.
Movie tickets are good, but don't waste your money with gold class ( they don't care about that) and would probably prefer 4 tickets too 'normal' class.
I wouldn't bother with an itunes card nor ps3 card. No teens I know bother with itunes cards, they tend to download and if it's more an indi type band, they buy the CD - whoodda think it?? To support the band. Or the bands often have free downloads.
I'd go a sports store voucher ( for shoes).
Can you ask his Mum? Has he got his learners permit yet? Maybe a driving lesson voucher?
You could ask his Mum where he like buying clothes and get him a voucher for that store.
If he like going to the beach or swimming, you could maybe buy him a beach towel ( from a brand he likes)
good luck!

I second this. Teenage boys tend to put on deodorant after they are dressed, spraying it all over themselves then walking around surrounded by a smelly aura. I would reccomend vouchers for either sports gear or clothes . This age/gender group are notoriously hard to buy for.

Think it depends on the teen. My 16yo nephew always requests iTunes cards if he is asked what he wants
Posted 22 November 2012 - 11:22 PM
I've got 4 boys aged 16 and up.
iTunes and lynx still get used quickly here.
Posted 23 November 2012 - 05:29 AM
For a fitness fantatic, a gift voucher from WIGGLE.
I get them for my son, who is a marathon runner, as he can get high quality running gear at much lower costs than here. Plus they just have some really cool stuff for guys.
Posted 23 November 2012 - 09:03 AM
Sports shop voucher, surf shop voucher.
Posted 23 November 2012 - 09:07 AM
Jb hifi voucher
Does he have an iPhone? One of those alarm clock docking stations or a nice case is a good gift.
Posted 23 November 2012 - 08:20 PM
My DS16 always requests I tunes cards or JB hi fi cards. Other gifts that have gone down well were a subscription to TOP GEAR magazine, any experience type gift eg: from adrenalin.com.au or redballoon.com.au, aftershave, and "brand name" t shirts.
Posted 23 November 2012 - 08:45 PM
What about a voucher for some professional Driving lessons.. If he is a learner driver these would be very useful and appreciated..

That's a great idea but it would only be one lesson.
I saw vouchers for XBox Live points at the post office. DS loves that. Or EB Games voucher, JB HiFI etc
Everyone else hates Lynx but teen boys love it
Posted 23 November 2012 - 09:50 PM
Does he read? My teen loves to read you could get him something like The Passage and The Twelve by Justin Cronin.
Posted 23 November 2012 - 09:53 PM
I think a voucher to a gaming store, JB hifi or Itunes!
Posted 24 November 2012 - 12:40 AM
- magazine subscription for something they are interested in (we bought my nephew a 1-year subscription to The Rolling Stone mag, he loved it)
- JB Hifi voucher
- iTunes voucher
- driving lessons
- amazon.com voucher (can buy all sorts of stuff there!)
- rebel sports voucher
- movie tix
- tix for him and friend to play skirmish/paintball (it's likely they can coerce other friends to join them)
- depending on where he lives (& how much you want to spend), tix to see a sporting match of some kind
We have recently bought nephew (now 17 and a bit) some cooking lessons at the local TAFE/community college thingy. He'll be moving out of home soon to go to Uni and he recently mentioned not knowing how to cook unless it required heating up in the microwave.
Posted 24 November 2012 - 12:54 AM
my nephew is 15 and i am getting him a pre-paid visa card...
he does most his purchasing online so any cash he gets he just gives to my sister and swipes her card so he can get what he wants.

Download: RTB2's The Both of It. And, While You're At It, Eaton Lake Tonic's Rancho Folly IV, Too.
Earlier this week, Denton rock duo, RTB2, announced that their first full-length album, The Both of It, is now available for free download online.
The album, recorded live in April of 2007 by Justin Collins at Satisfactory West, sold roughly 500 copies. So why, then, would RTB2 want to hand you something they could get five bucks for?
Firstly, it's out of print: "We don't have anymore physical copies," explains drummer Grady Don Sandlin. "We just wanted to put it out for free, so people who don't have it can have it."
Guitarist Ryan Thomas Becker and Sandlin were in the band Sunday Drive when they formed the (then) side project, RTB2. Sunday Drive was put on the backburner as RTB2 got more serious and began to record demos that later became "Wishy Waltz."

"Doing The Both Of It," Sandlin explains, "the way we did it, recording it live, had everything to do with wanting to release something that sounded exactly what we did live... [It] gave us our initial identity."
And it worked: The Both of It is an honest and pure rock album. Tracks like "Your Name Stays In My Throat", "The Spilling Blood Child", and (underrated) "Need/Want (Part IV)" unapologetically slap you in the face in the best way. "Yer Fool's Suite (Part II)" shows the boys softer side, but only cleverly veiled in their happy blend of bluesy alt-rock.
Now three years and one, more-produced EP (In the Fleshed) later, the two continue to thrive in the local music scene. This year, among other nods, the band is nominated for Best Group in our annual Dallas Observer Music Awards.
Tthe side projects are continuing along as well. And another of Becker's, Eaton Lake Tonics, has also announced that their new Rancho Folly IV EP is too available for free online download.
"At our level,": Sandlin says, "you make money at shows, not from record sales. Selling records is just [perceived as] people showing interest, like a tip. If we play a show and one person buys a CD, then it's a success. But, ultimately, if people want our music, they should have it."

Irregularities in Empanelment of Advocates: CVC Last Updated : 25 Nov 2012 10:19:00 AM IST Irregularities in Empanelment of Advocates: CVC
The Central Vigilance Commission has found alleged irregularities in the empanelment of counsel by Law Ministry to assist it in various legal matters.
According to a preliminary investigation done by the anti-corruption watchdog, advocates were being empanelled on the basis of political recommendations and there were instances of improper work allocation-- for revenue and non-revenue matters-- among them.
The probe, which began last year, said there was no categorisation available--for revenue and non-revenue specialists-- on record by the ministry.
"The very categorisation of panel counsels as specialised in revenue and non revenue cases was not supported by a due
process of scrutiny of experience or profile of the panel counsels. Certain inconsistencies were observed by the CVC team in the categorisation of panel counsels as revenue specialist," the report said.
The irregularities were noted in Judicial Section under the Department of Legal Affairs in the Ministry of Law and Justice which is responsible for the appointment of law officers.
As per the norms, advocates are empanelled as panel counsels to assist the law officers in dealing with the litigations on behalf of Central government. The empanelment of advocates is done in three categories--Panel-A, Panel-B and Panel-C--as per their seniority and experience. "Examination by the CVC team showed that the empanelment of advocates as panel counsels by the judicial section of the Department of Legal Affairs was based largely on recommendations.
"Recommendations from very important persons viz. Solicitors or Additional Solicitors General of India,Ministers, Members of Parliament and other prominent persons were received by the Minister of Law and Justice and sometimes by the Secretary of the Department," it said in its report which has yet not reached its logical conclusion.
The report claimed that on the recommendation letters received by the Minister of Law and Justice, the Minister had remarked "please appoint" or "please renew", based on which the Judicial Section had put up the proposals for empanelment of the recommended lawyers to the Minister of Law and Justice for approval.
"Instances where the recommended names were not empanelled were rare. The CVC team observed that there was no process of due diligence to ascertain the merit and suitability of the recommended advocates before considering them for empanelment. The system derived assurance about the suitability of a lawyer solely from the recommendation of the VIPs and the discretion of the Minister of Law and Justice.
"It may therefore be concluded that the procedure adopted for empanelment of advocates was neither based on open competition nor on considerations of merit and was thus a subjective process. It did not provide equal opportunity to all. Arranging a VIP reference was a prerequisite for an advocate to get himself or herself empanelled as a panel counsel," the report said.
The probe, done on the basis of files pertaining empanelment of panel counsels conducted by the Judicial Wing for 2009 and 2010 among others method, was done by a team of senior CVC officials apparently on the basis of complaints of alleged corruption received by the probity watchdog. There were about 600 empanelled counsels to assist the law officers.
CVC had declined to share the copy of inquiry report and follow-up action in response to an RTI query. "The matter has not reached its logical conclusion. Therefore, the information is denied under Section 8 (1) (h) of the RTI Act,2005," the reply said.
The section bars disclosure of "information which would impede the process of investigation or apprehension or prosecution of offenders".
The CVC team also observed that there was no system of monitoring of a litigation from starting to its conclusion.The proceedings register only recorded the outcome of a case on a particular day or hearing and there was no traceability or complete trail of the cases," it said.
To support its finding, the CVC report cited an instance of a case listed for February 19, 2010, Commissioner Income Tax, Bangalore Vs United Breweries which was allocated to advocate Y Singh which was then struck and the name of Yudhister Singh and Yudesh Pal Singh was included.
"CVC team observed that the name of Yudhister Singh did not figure in the list of panel counsels earmarked for revenue matters. Further, the name of Yudesh Pal Singh was not in the panel at all. The fate of the case could not be ascertained as
the case did not find any mention in the proceedings register," it noted.
It may be recalled that former ASG Bishwajit Bhattacharya in a book has claimed that the central government had expected
him to lose the cases he presented in courts. "The revenue panel lawyers may be paid fixed handsome stipend on contractual basis. Only genuinely interested lawyers wishing to work for the government will join the panel in such an eventuality. Politicisation of the revenue panel must be stopped forthwith," Bhattacharya told .Source: IANS, Other Agencies, Staff Reporters

why is it every time i log on, directly from face book, i am repeatedly sent to the login page, over and over again, regardless of how many times I go through the act of logging on?
I am on the verge of no longer playing on this site because of this.
By chance are you also logged in on another device at the same time? Are you logging in through Facebook on a computer?
I used to have this issue. You have to log on from the homepage after signing out of Facebook- this is important. here is the link
I do not sign out of facebook while I play. And it continually loops round and round over and over, no matter how many times I try to log in. I have to leave the sight completely, and then return again. this occurs daily, including today. And this is the only computer in my house.
If this continues to happen for any length of time, I will not return, and I will not be waiting long for it to be rectified.
I sent you a message on this, if it is still happening for you will you let me know which web browser and version you are using along with which operating system and version you are running on your computer, please?

Birth control 'not zero-sum equation'
Natural family planning should take center stage, archbishop says
April 28, 2011
Archbishop Antonio Ledesma of Cagayan de Oro in the southern Philippines has proposed an alternative to what he said as the "yes or no" option to the controversial Reproductive Health bill pending in the Philippine Congress. In a pastoral letter read during Easter Mass, Archbishop Ledesma said the best way of saying "no" to the RH bill is to say "yes" to natural family planning methods. "The controversy over the bill has lately been reduced to a zero-sum proposition where concerned citizens are simply asked to say either 'yes' or 'no'," the prelate said. He said the natural family planning program should use "all modern scientific methods" but "without back-up contraceptives." Archbishop Ledesma said he is pushing for natural family planning as an "engagement, not collaboration" because the Church wants the program to be separate and not dependent of the government. He said that instead of the government policy drifting toward "reproductive health," there should be more emphasis on responsible parenthood. PM14004

- I bought the smaller tortillas before I opened the box and found out it says to use the large ones. The small ones work great and if anything spills out it's really easy to clean it.

DNV is urging the global oil and gas industry to strengthen its focus on safety risk analysis and be better prepared for incidents ahead of the Piper 25 conference.
The organization will present two papers at the conference, which is a special three day event taking place at the AECC in Aberdeen from June 18-20 and will be chaired by Oil & Gas UK chief executive, Malcolm Webb. It is aimed at bringing together people from across the oil and gas industry to reflect on the lessons learnt from the tragedy of 25 years, review how far offshore safety has evolved since and to reinforce industry commitment to continuous improvement. A high turnout is expected to attend the commemorative event.
Peter Boyle, Director Business Development DNV UK will present his findings on what has been learned since the Piper Alpha disaster and how the industry can be better prepared.
Viken Chinien, Head of Safety Health and Environmental Risk, DNV London and Asmund Huser, Principal Specialist, Safety Risk Assessment, DNV Oslo, will discuss risk based design and how uncertainties involved in standards and codes of practice may not be appropriate, and that other forms of analysis are better suited in the design process. The presentation will also explore how in extreme circumstances, the issues around explosion overpressure or heat load in a structure, may be so high that it is impractical to design for a structure to withstand the impact.
Viken Chinien, Amund Huser and Peter Boyle will join many of the industry's renowned leaders and innovators including Lord Cullen of Whitekirk, who led the inquiry into the disaster which killed 168 men and Judith Hackitt CBE, Chair of the UK HSE.
Hari Vamadevan, DNV's UK Regional Manager said, "The Piper Alpha catastrophe in 1988 continues to radically shape and influence all operations and activity across the global industry. It was a tragic reminder of the risky work that is carried out offshore to ensure energy supply at home. This conference will not only commemorate the 167 men who died, but is also a clear sign that those involved in the oil and gas industry are not complacent in their efforts to improve health and safety and are constantly working together to mitigate and eliminate risk."
He continued, "The presentations by Peter and Viken will highlight DNV's commitment to this issue and provide information and guidance to ensure that such an incident does not occur again."
Both DNV papers will be presented on Thursday, June 20.

Those of us fortunate enough to attend this year's Jazz Fest got a sneak preview of this album, and we knew it was going to be great.
Before the Jazz Fest performance, I was only familiar with Toussaint's more popular songs such as "Working in a Coal Mine" and "Fortune Teller." I was also very aware his masterful piano playing ability and his incredible horn arrangements. One thing I didn't fully appreciate was the depth and breadth of his songwriting.
After an extremely upbeat opening set by Toussaint and his band, Costello joined him on stage for a string of songs beginning with "On Your Way Down," the same song that opens this CD. The biting lyrics made me think it was co-written by Elvis Costello, but I found out later it was indeed entirely written by Toussaint years ago. The song eerily evoked the political mood in post-Katrina New Orleans and seems to be a perfect opener for this album - especially considering some of Costello's more biting lyrics later on.
As he did in New Orleans, Costello evokes a soulfulness on this record that hasn't sounded this strong since Get Happy, and now that his voice has matured even more he sounds even better - especially on "Nearer to You."
Allen Toussaint's vocals shine on "Who's Gonna Help Brother Get Further.Read more ›
The idea for record probably started after the flood of New Orleans. In the accompanying DVD Costello explains it was initially intended as a Toussaint songbook effort. While working on the project it evolved into more than that. Some five songs here are new collaborations between Costello and Toussaint. What immediately strikes you is how well these two gentlemen complement each other. Elvis' somewhat nasal and sandy voice is balanced out by the ever friendly and gentle backing vocals of Allen, the gruff instrumentations of the Attractions complemented by Toussaint's own Funky horn section and elegant piano playing.
Thematically the album approaches that of a protest album. Costello still proves to be the angry young man he was at the start of his career, albeit not so young anymore. Toussaint classics as "On Your Way Down" and "Who's Gonna Help A Brother Get Further" are complemented with the new "River in Reverse", a beautiful snarling track filled with horror about what occurred in the Crescent City. The album is filled out with some beautiful love songs from the Toussaint catalog that function as a counter to the political material and bring balance to the record. Elvis delivers al these songs with a passion and conviction you haven't heard from him in years. The album is an emotional rollercoaster, it makes you want to laugh, dance, sing, cry and scream, all in the course of an hour.Read more ›
Oddly enough, it is the catalog numbers from Toussaint that really bring out the soul to "The River In Reverse." Versions of "Tears and More Tears," "Freedom for the Stallion" and "Who's Gonna Help Brother Get Further" (with the lead sung by Toussaint) make their emotional mark to the time, even despite their age. Toussaint's arrangements (often not varying much from their older recordings) also draw out some of Costello's better vocal skills. He sounds more soulful here than on his "My Flame Burns Blue" CD, released with the same year as "The River In Reverse."
Toussaint also managed most of the production duties on "The River In Reverse," and it is to the CD's benefit. Neither as creamy smooth as "North," disjointed like "When I Was Cruel," or as raw and rugged and "The Delivery Man," the music here strikes the perfect balance. It is Costello's best sounding disc since "Painted From Memory" with Burt Bacharach. (Oddly enough, also a collaboration with one of Costello's idols.Read more ›

CEOs for Cities
Presented by Patrick Lane, WICHE
This webinar focuses on why reengaging adult learners (particularly those with some college credit but no degree) is such an important part of any metropolitan strategy to increase degree attainment. With demographic and workforce projections showing that the traditional education pipeline will not provide sufficient students to meet the future needs of employers, bringing back adults who have started but not finished a postsecondary credential is crucial. In addition to focusing on the need to serve these potential students, the webinar also shares promising strategies to develop collaborative relationships with other stakeholders to increase degree attainment.

Adding Holidays
Adding Holidays
We've added some appointments, some events, some meetings to our calendar, and I'm looking at my monthly calendar here for December, and it's missing something kind of obvious: Christmas. If you want to add holidays to your calendar, here's how you do it. Go to the Tools menu at the very top, and from the list go to the bottom and choose Options. We'll start you in the Preferences tab, which is where we want to be, and in the Calendar section, you want to click Calendar Options. There's some other options we can set here, such as the definition of the work week.
What we're looking for is Add Holidays. Choose what country you'd like to add holidays from, and choose OK to add them to your calendar. It will import those particular holidays. I'm going to click OK, and click OK on the Calendar Options, and in the overall Options. And now when I look, I have some things in here such as Christmas Day.

Chiefs sign fifth-round pick Sanders Commings
Associated Press | Last updated May 23, 2013
The Kansas City Chiefs have signed safety Sanders Commings, the fifth of their eight draft choices to agree to terms on a contract. Commings was the Chiefs' fifth-round draft pick out of Georgia. He played primarily cornerback in college, starting 35 games and making 154 tackles. But he's been playing safety for the Chiefs during their first two weeks of organized team activities. The Chiefs selected Commings, who was once drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks, despite a domestic violence charge that resulted in a suspension last season. The signing was announced Thursday. The only remaining draft picks yet to sign with the Chiefs are offensive tackle Eric Fisher, their first overall pick, third-round pick Travis Kelce and fourth-round pick Nico Johnson.
