Skip to comments.Americans want term limits and end to Electoral College after re-electing a bunch of incumbents
Posted on 01/18/2013 9:13:37 AM PST by SeekAndFind
Later today, when I'm hosting the Ed Morrissey Show, you'll probably notice a deep red welt on my forehead and wonder how it got there. It's from banging my head on my desk repeatedly after reading the results of two polls released today. The first comes from Gallup, where overwhelming majorities of Americans of every party affiliation demand Congressional term limits and an end to the Electoral College --- just two months after re-elected almost every incumbent than ran for federal office:
Even after the 2012 election in which Americans re-elected most of the sitting members of the U.S. House and Senate --- as is typical in national elections --- three-quarters of Americans say that, given the opportunity, they would vote "for" term limits for members of both houses of Congress.
Republicans and independents are slightly more likely than Democrats to favor term limits; nevertheless, the vast majority of all party groups agree on the issue. Further, Gallup finds no generational differences in support for the proposal.
In other words, the message here is: Stop me before I vote for another incumbent! I'm no fan of term limits in Congressional elections, after my experience in seeing the application in California do nothing but make the dysfunction there arguably worse, and certainly no better. (The limit on presidential terms is more necessary, thanks to the power that has accrued to the executive branch over the last several decades.) The best solution is to vote out the incumbents one dislikes, by finding better candidates to oppose them.
On the Electoral College, the numbers are lower but still majorities:
Americans are nearly as open to major electoral reform when it comes to doing away with the Electoral College. Sixty-three percent would abolish this unique, but sometimes controversial, mechanism for electing presidents that was devised by the framers of the Constitution. While constitutional and statutory revisions have been made to the Electoral College since the nation's founding, numerous efforts to abolish it over the last 200+ years have met with little success.
There is even less partisan variation in support for this proposal than there is for term limits, with between 61% and 66% of all major party groups saying they would vote to do away with the Electoral College if they could. Similarly, between 60% and 69% of all major age groups take this position.
This has been a relatively stable level for at least since the 2000 election, but it's based on almost nothing else. What exactly is the problem with forcing a state-by-state approach that has worked well, with two (possible) exceptions, every four years since 1792? It allows states to have some influence on federal government, especially lower-population states that would otherwise get overwhelmed by the large coastal states in national elections. If they were this dissatisfied with the results the last time, why did they bother to re-elect the man who won the presidential election in that cycle?
We can ask the same question after reading the new poll at The Hill, too. In the survey, 42% say they are worse off than when Obama took office, with only 26% believing that life has improved — and they're not expecting things to get better in the next four years, either:
President Obama is entering his second term with many of the nations voters still pessimistic or unsure about their economic prospects, a new poll for The Hill has found.
The president was reelected for another four years by a relatively comfortable margin, but 39 percent of likely voters say his first four years were worse than expected, compared to just 18 percent who say he exceeded expectations. Forty-one percent of those polled said his first term went as expected.
The president assumed office in the midst of one of the worst financial meltdowns in U.S. history, and those polled are still feeling the ensuing recessions impact four years later. On the economic front, 42 percent say they are worse off now than when Obama first took office, compared to 26 percent who say they are better off.
Respondents are not significantly more optimistic about the next four years, either.
Sixty percent say they do not expect to make major economic strides during Obamas second term, compared to just 38 percent who expect to be better off in 2016.
So why did Obama get re-elected? More people blame Congress than Obama for their problems … even though Americans re-elected the exact same leadership on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.
And now you'll know why I'll have a big, red welt in the middle of my forehead this afternoon.
Oh great. Getting rid of the Electoral College and letting Democracy (big city feral rats) rule is a disaster.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I do not want well bing and freedom tied to a bunch of other idiot people in idiot states any longer.
If California wants to elect Diane Frankenstein, then let her take their freedom, not mine.
My state sadly elected Bill Nelson...and un-elected Allen West.
There is rapidly becoming no place to escape the idiocy of Americans it would seem :(
Electoral College kept us from having a Kerry Edwards presidency.
exactly. this just shows that some folks are dumber than a sack of rocks
We do NOT want to get rid of the Electoral College. It was designed to ensure that our elected officials would not collude with one another to steal our freedoms.
However, I would like to see the Electoral College do its constitutionally mandated job. To wit - require that it only votes for candidates who meet constitutional requirements.
How about making sure that ONLY AMERICAN CITIZENS vote?
The disaster of the 17th anti constitutional amendment tells me all I need to know to oppose doing away with the electoral college. GOP heavy states like Michigan continue to get stuck with Levin and Stupidcow due to a couple of cities.
Yes to term limits. No to getting rid of the electoral college.
When you're handed only two choices - your guy (who's bad) and the other guy (who's worse) - you're going to vote for your guy. This is not difficult to understand, is it?
Term limits solves this problem.
I don't like term limits much. But given the way political demogoguery has split the country into two warring factions to be played off one another to the benefit of those who control our choice of candidates, it's the only tool I see remaining in our toolbox.
Keep the electoral College but allocate electoral votes by district not by state. I am sick of my districts electoral vote going to the Dems every year because of Chicago!!!!
Actually I suggest a middle ground on term limits.
How about consecutive term limits. 2 terms then out for 1 before regaining eligibility to run for another 2 terms? That way if people really like their congressman, they can bring him back after 2 years out of office. My current congressman was voted out in 08 after 1 term and the tea party reelected him in 2010.
I think it would require doing away with all the restrictions placed on "freshmen" legislators.
The federal government cannot guarantee to the States a Republican form of government without the electoral college being in place.
Every year we hear how polls show congress has a very low approval rating.
The latest is supposedly 9% - below cockroaches and hair lice.
Yet every election we see something approaching 90% of incumbents reelected.
See: "Reelection Rates Over the Years"
... with Rielle Hunter as First Concubine.
Most of these fools don't know what the **** they want. It depends on the day of the week and how close they are to getting their welfare check.
These are not mutually exclusive possibilities.
Use a variant of the Maine/Nebraska system.
Each House district will determine its electoral vote, independent of the rest of the state.
The Senatorial electoral votes would be distributed as follows:
If a candidate gets 40% of the statewide popular vote, that would guarantee the candidate one electoral vote, 60% would guarantee two. If neither candidate received 40%, then the top two candidates would each get one electoral vote.
A majority of the electoral votes should be required for election, not a plurality. If a majority is not achieved, then a run off election would be held for the three candidates with the highest national vote total.
Had this system been in place in 1860, Mr. Lincoln might not have won the run off and the War of 1861 might have been averted (or at least delayed).
I could support that, but I really think this all falls back to Franklin's admonition, "A republic, if you can keep it." My opposition to term limits is one of freedom. If I feel I am the best qualified person for office, I should have the freedom to run for it - regardless of how many terms I've served. Similarly, as a voter, I should be able to vote for the person I feel best represents my views, my district and my state. The failure of voters to remove career politicians is not a flaw in the Constitution or eligibility law, it's a flaw in the electorate. There are myriad examples of laws passed in an effort to "fix stupid," and they are generally effective only as incubators of unintended consequences. Here in Louisiana, term limits were passed, so when their terms were up, we had Senators running for the House, and vice versa.
If there was one change I could make to the election of legislators (apart from repealing the 17th as you mentioned above), it would be a mandatory waiting period for lawyers. Practicing lawyers are officers of the court and as such, members of the judicial branch. When they sit as legislators, there is, IMHO, a significant conflict of interest. Before a barred attorney runs for a legislative or executive position, they should surrender their law license and have a cooling off period (2 years? 3 years?) between the active practice of law and any demonstrable ties to any law practice/firm. This of course would not preclude a congress person or committee from maintaining counsel or attorneys on staff, but they merely could not hold the legislative seat.
I bet she wasn't the 'first'........................
I agree the Electoral College is probably necessary.
On the term limits, I have been harping for years the biggest problem WE have is, as a whole, WE MOSTLY agree that ALL pols are crooked and should be replaced.
EXCEPT 'MINE', he is a good guy, it is the rest of them.
With that prevailing mindset, 'we' keep sending the same trash back year after a year with people making careers out of a job that was set up to be mostly voluntary with some expenses paid.
California has 57 counties and 37 million people. Oklahoma has 77 counties and 3.7 million people. So a state with 1/10 the people should carry more weight in the electoral vote?
I know what you're saying and I really like my congressman despite the fact that he's arguably a "career politician" with some 14 years in the statehouse before going to Washington.
I think one difference is the fact that he still sees it as serving his constituents and he isn't getting rich from a bunch of side interests. He's one of those rare 6 figure congressmen. Its more than I have but its what the job pays. I agree with about 95% of his votes and that's pretty good.
They threw a fit about him sleeping in his DC office two years ago and I read a similar story a few weeks ago about him still doing it today to save money.
I could go along with that, definitely. Anything to reduce the power that has been built up around incumbency.
Of course none of this addressese - let alone solves - the real problem, which is limiting their power. And that's not likely to happen once a nation becomes as divided as ours is. Each side will authorize increases in power as long as it believes that power will be used to do what it wants. This ratcheting will continue until the citizenry is no longer a threat and therefore their authority no longer needed.
"Term limits solves this problem."
Are you sure?
Instead of "two choices - your guy (whos bad) and the other guy (whos worse)" you could get "two choices - two guys who are worse than your guy, (whos bad) but is term limited.
Yeah, I should've put it like this instead:
"Your guy, who is the incumbent and who is bad, versus the other guy, who is worse."
Too many times, the only way to get one of our bad incumbents off the ticket is to elect the other guy and then wait two (or four or six) years. And that's a hard proposal to sell.
Electoral college by state does not solve the problem of populous states versus the desert states, despite what some believe. Electoral college by county or congressional district would.
Term limits? Who are your congresscritters now? They are bosses of 200+(?) employee state subsidized companies, whose job (the bosses') is to collect money for re-election, to lunch with the lobbyists, and to be the faces of these companies, which are in fact run by the faceless professional unelected employees on Capital Hill and in district offices. Don't kid yourself that your congresscritter actually reads your sincere letters and postcards of concern, they are read by the gofer Monica Lewinskys and Chandra Levys of the day, if they are read at all. .
The reelection rate is not a problem of the lack of term limits. The problem is the government and thus incumbents have WAY to much power and influence over our lives. The offices carry with it unlimited income potential and celebrity status.
Take away the power of government and the perks that go with elected office, the way the founders intended, and the incumbents will term limit themselves.
The answer is to limit GOVERNMENT not the terms of office.
So who will elect presidents by popular vote?

A History of Science -- Volume 1by Henry Smith Williams Edward Huntington Williams
Should the story that is about to be unfolded be found to lack interest, the writers must stand convicted of unpardonable lack of art. <P> <P> Nothing but dulness in the telling could mar the story, for in itself it is the record of the growth of those ideas that have made our race and its civilization what they are; of ideas instinct with human interest, vital with meaning for our race; fundamental in their influence on human development; part and parcel of the mechanism of human thought on the one hand, and of practical civilization on the other. Such a phrase as "fundamental principles" may seem at first thought a hard saying, but the idea it implies is less repellent than the phrase itself, for the fundamental principles in question are so closely linked with the present interests of every one of us that they lie within the grasp of every average man and woman-- nay, of every well-developed boy and girl. These principles are not merely the stepping-stones to culture, the prerequisites of knowledge-- they are, in themselves, an essential part of the knowledge of every cultivated person
A History of Science -- Volume 2by Henry Smith Williams Edward Huntington Williams
The studies of the present book cover the progress of science from the close of the Roman period in the fifth century A. D. to about the middle of the eighteenth century. In tracing the course of events through so long a period, a difficulty becomes prominent which everywhere besets the historian in less degree-- a difficulty due to the conflict between the strictly chronological and the topical method of treatment. <P> <P> We must hold as closely as possible to the actual sequence of events, since, as already pointed out, one discovery leads on to another. But, on the other hand, progressive steps are taken contemporaneously in the various fields of science, and if we were to attempt to introduce these in strict chronological order we should lose all sense of topical continuity.
A History of Science -- Volume 3by Henry Smith Williams Edward Huntington Williams
With the present book we enter the field of the distinctively modern. There is no precise date at which we take up each of the successive stories, but the main sweep of development has to do in each case with the nineteenth century. <P> <P> We shall see at once that this is a time both of rapid progress and of great differentiation. We have heard almost nothing hitherto of such sciences as paleontology, geology, and meteorology, each of which now demands full attention. Meantime, astronomy and what the workers of the elder day called natural philosophy become wonderfully diversified and present numerous phases that would have been startling enough to the star-gazers and philosophers of the earlier epoch.
A History of Science -- Volume 4by Henry Smith Williams Edward Huntington Williams
AS regards chronology, the epoch covered in the present volume is identical with that viewed in the preceding one. But now as regards subject matter we pass on to those diverse phases of the physical world which are the field of the chemist, and to those yet more intricate processes which have to do with living organisms. <P> <P> So radical are the changes here that we seem to be entering new worlds; and yet, here as before, there are intimations of the new discoveries away back in the Greek days. The solution of the problem of respiration will remind us that Anaxagoras half guessed the secret; and in those diversified studies which tell us of the Daltonian atom in its wonderful transmutations, we shall be reminded again of the Clazomenian philosopher and his successor Democritus.
Radio-Mastery of the Ether (The Story Of Modern Science, Vol. IX)by Henry Smith Williams
This book describes the beginnings of radio - the mystery of unseen waves and the people experimenting with this new process. The book was handed down to me by my Grandfather who served in the Spanish-American War and then settled in San Francisco in 1905; just in time for the earthquake. The last few pages are ads complete with 1923 prices. One is for a book - Sergeant York and His People- later Gary Cooper stared in the movie - Sergeant York.

Vegetarians aside, most Christmas dinner tables have one thing in common – a turkey. It's as traditional to our yuletide feast as it is to the Americans' Thanksgiving celebrations.
Some can look great but taste bland and dry. Not so with our tasty birds, all of which are delicious and succulent from the breast and legs right through to the wings.
The best ones don't come cheap, making Christmas dinner a potentially costly affair, although our round-up also includes some decent supermarket options for those on tighter budgets.
1. Traditional Turkey: £78 for 4-5kg, Copas Turkeys
For his 18th birthday in 1957, Tom Copas was given 153 turkeys, which he successfully reared and sold locally. Still a family business today, it now farms over 38,000 turkeys, all reared in the Cookham countryside and each living for three times longer than normal turkeys. They're game-hung for 14 days and taste exceptionally tender and flavoursome.
2. British Free Range Pembrokeshire Bronze Turkey: £55 for 5.5kg, Marks & Spencer
This looked a picture when we took it out of the oven and we found it had a much greater depth of flavour than some of M&S's cheaper offerings. The turkeys are reared on the Welsh coast with plenty of space and opportunity for foraging. Be prepared for a lot of liquid to build up in the roasting tin, which kept it nice and succulent, but didn't make the best gravy.
3. Free range Bronze Turkey: from £61 for 5kg, Farm Drop
Here's another turkey farm with an interesting story behind it. Fashion designer Nick Ball and property developer Jacob Sykes left the rat race of London in 2009 to set up a life of ethical poultry farming in Leicestershire. Whilst they mainly rear chickens, their turkeys have a good life and are fabulously juicy, never dry.
4. Extra Special Free Range British Corn Fed Bronze Turkey: £4.50 per kg, Asda
This plump, well-shaped free-range bird won the Best Christmas Premium category at the British turkey awards this year. Having enjoyed a cereal-based diet in natural surroundings, we found the turkey full-flavoured with a golden skin, as well as making an impressive centrepiece on the Christmas table. The price will be released when the turkeys hit the shelves later this month.
5. Christmas Turkey: £55 for 4kg, HG Walter
These turkeys are as natural as they come – not an antibiotic or additive goes near them (you may be surprised just how many turkeys are plied with them). Reared slowly on a farm in Worcestershire, it's top-notch free range living for these birds and they're hung for 7-10 days before they're dry plucked. We found they needed a shorter cooking time than most and the texture and taste was second-to-none.
6. Christmas Turkey: £73 for 4.5kg, Abel and Cole
There's huge choice at this organic and free-range retailer, so whether you want a stuffed turkey joint, turkey crown or whole turkey (our favourite), they've got it – and in lots of sizes too. You can also rest in peace that the birds have had just about the best life possible, with pastures and woodland by day and straw beds in open barn by night. We found their largest one fed 14 easily, including seconds.
7. Organic Dee Valley Turkey: from £66 for 4-5kg, Rhug
These organic birds don't come cheap, but the award-winning, rich and tender meat tastes so good that even Michelin-starred restaurants including The Connaught and Marcus Wareing at The Berkeley in London snap them up. All reared completely naturally and treated like royalty in their longer-than-usual life, the turkeys produce the best gravy we tasted.
8. Bronze Turkey: £20 for 3.6-5kg, Tesco
These slow-grown free-range turkeys, which are reared outside in Norfolk, are succulent with beautifully crisp skin. We found the meat – from the breast to the thigh – had a robust flavour, although it does release a lot of water whilst cooking. Handily, it arrives frozen, so you can buy one anytime from now ready for your big Christmas feast.
9. M Signature British Free Range Bronze Turkey: £20 for 2.1-3kg, Morrisons
Available in various sizes, including an extra large one if you're feeding the masses, we think this is great value for such tasty meat, although you'll need to be careful not to go over the recommended cooking time or it quickly becomes dry, particularly the breast meat. The turkeys, which are reared in East Anglia, Derbyshire and Cheshire, have a good shape and smell wonderful while cooking.
10. Christmas Organic Bronze Turkey: from £17 per kg, The Well Hung Meat Company
As the name suggests, these free-range, slow-grown and award-winning organic birds have been hung for an extended period – at least seven to 10 days – so that the meat remains juicy and tasty, with a buttery flavour and beautiful shape. They're fed an organic diet at Bower Farm on the Berkshire Downs, where they forage on clover, rich grass and insects by day, and sleep in well-packed straw pens by night. Crowns are also available.
11. Christmas Turkey: £55 for 4-5kg, Field and Flower
Somerset farmer Stuart Perkins got his first turkeys even younger than Tom Copas – at the tender age of six. Having cared for all 12 of them, he developed a passion for rearing turkeys and today, he works with city boy James Mansfield and fifth generation farmer's son James Flower to produce these birds that are packed with flavour and never, ever dry.
12. Braemoor Small British Self-basting Turkey with Giblets: £9 for 2.8-4kg, Lidl
Lidl has come up trumps this year with a fantastic value award-winning turkey that is tender, well-shaped and nicely moist without being fatty. The turkeys are born and raised on a family-owned farm in North Yorkshire and we found them flavoursome, as well as making good gravy, but be careful not to overcook it.
13. Free Range Bronze Turkey: £49 for 5kg, Donald Russell
This online butcher has a royal warrant, which should give you some idea about its commitment to quality. Its turkeys, which arrive frozen as a whole bird or crown, are to die for. Sourced from France, they have a great diet and life and make for a wonderful Christmas dinner with a relatively low cooking time. Check out their delicious pigs-in-blankets too.
14. Free Range Turkey: £80 for 4kg, KellyBronze
Unlike most of their competitors, this company breeds turkeys whose mother and father are bronze, making it pure (rather than part) bronze. Grown totally wild in woodland, not just free range pastures, they are slow grown and dry plucked at a mature age, finished by hand and hung in a cool larder for up to two weeks to optimise flavour. The result is a turkey that doesn't take long to cook and is full of taste.
If you've got the money, we'd recommend the Rhug Organic Dee Valley Turkey or the KellyBronze Free Range Turkey – the meat is outstanding and the turkeys are treated to the highest standards. For something cheaper, our vote goes to Tesco's bronze turkey.

This is far superior in fun factor to the remake. While there's more bells and whistles, this version has much more rewarding gameplay. Also, the tempo is quite a bit faster; it really feels snappy still to this day. As far as difficulty goes, it's like old school games that required you practiced a level before automatically beating it. Seriously, proper use of the shield and timing of your attacks will net you victory. Barbarian Bob is the Bobbest of Bobs but he still can take too many maces to the face.

Free Trial of the "Profit Rockets" Stock Pick Service
Boeing (NYSE:BA) has been in the news a lot lately, and for all the wrong reasons. The company has seen several issues with its high-tech 787 Dreamliner aircraft which many believe is the future for the company Zacks Investment Research reports.
These concerns have led to brief sell-offs for BA, pushing shares sharply lower in some sessions and causing many investors to think twice about investing in the company. However, the company has powered through this weakness and is back at all-time highs, suggesting that these recent problems shouldn't be much of a concern to investors.
After all, many analysts remain extremely bullish on Boeing and their prospects for the near term. Growth is expected to be in the double digits for both this quarter and the next, while the current year and next year growth rates are also impressive, coming in at 30% and 10.8%, respectively.
This growth rate also represents some acceleration from previous years, suggesting that Boeing is on the right track. Growth for the past five years was at just 1.3%, while for the next five it is moving into double digit range at 10.3%, meaning that this large cap stock isn't done growing yet.
If that wasn't enough, estimates have also been surging for both the current year and next year periods, while the Earnings ESP is positive for all four periods studied. The full year consensus has actually slowly risen from $6.39/share 90 days ago to $6.51/share today, suggesting that analysts are increasingly bullish about the company's near term prospects.
Investors should also note that BA has a pretty stellar record when it comes to beating earnings, with the company crushing estimates in all four of the previous four quarters. Plus, the average beat in this time period has been in the double digits, while the company hasn't missed earnings at all since early 2011.
Due to this solid earnings history, as well as the company's robust outlook, Boeing has earned itself a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). Plus, the company is also in a top industry-roughly the top quintile-so the firm is in great company.
Bottom Line
With earnings fast approaching, BA could be a compelling pick for investors. The company has fought through recent troubles with ease and analysts still like the growth story for the firm.
BA also has an amazing track record at earnings season, and with a positive Earnings ESP, there is no reason to believe that we won't see a similar result this time around as well.

This is a continuation of co-pending application Ser. No. 07/635,905 filed on Dec. 27, 1990 now abandoned.
This invention relates generally to an improved AC adapter of the type used to provide a DC voltage to an associated electronic instrument from an AC supply voltage. More particularly, this invention relates to a compact and low profile power supply adapter for plug-in connection to a standard electrical socket, without obstructing or interfering with adjacent electrical sockets of a standard duplex or quad wall outlet or the like. The invention is particularly designed for use with electronic instruments in a medical environment, and further includes means for removably mounting the power supply adapter onto or in close association with the instrument when not in use.
Modern medical treatment facilities utilize a variety of sophisticated electronic instruments in the course of patient diagnosis and treatment. As one common example, electronically operated medication infusion pumps are commonly used for administering one or more selected medical fluids to a patient at a prescribed flow rate and time schedule. Such fluid medication infusion pumps and other electronic equipment require a source of electrical power to maintain the instrument in a desired operational state.
In this regard, many electronic instruments designed for medical as well as nonmedical uses are constructed to operate on a DC power supply which can be obtained in the alternative from batteries or by use of an appropriate transformer and rectifier connected to a standard AC power source. In this latter case, the AC adapter frequently comprises a power supply adapter designed for direct plug-in connection to an AC power supply outlet, with an elongated cord extending between the plug-in adapter and the associated electronic instrument used to supply DC to the instrument.
In the past, plug-in power supply adapters have included a relatively compact housing or case having the components of an AC adapter mounted therein. Conductive prongs associated with the transformer components have protruded outwardly from the adapter case for plug-in connection in the manner of a standard electrical plug with an associated AC power supply receptacle, such as one socket of a standard duplex or quad wall outlet, or a multisocket strip, or the like.
Accordingly, the adapter case essentially comprises the body of an electrical plug for manual grasping in the course of plug-in and unplugging movements. However, the physical size and shape of the adapter case has typically exceeded the width and height of a conventional electrical plug, such that the adapter case partially overlies and therefore obstructs access to adjacent electrical sockets. For example, in a conventional duplex or quad wall outlet, plug-in connection of a single AC/DC power supply adapter to one of the electrical sockets normally obscures and thus precludes access to all of the remaining electrical sockets in the wall outlet. Additional electrical devices which may be desired or necessary, especially in a medical treatment facility must therefore be plugged into a different wall outlet.
Moreover, in a medical treatment environment, it is often necessary to transport electronic medical instruments from one place to another. For example, fluid infusion pumps are often transported with patients throughout different areas of a hospital or the like, or from one patient room to another for use with different patients as the need arises. While such instruments may be battery powered for short term operation in a mobile environment, it is important that the electrical power cord and associated power supply adapter remain with the instrument so that normal operation can be resumed quickly and easily by mere plug-in connection of the adapter to a power supply outlet.
However, transport of the power supply adapter and associated cord with the instrument poses particular problems in that the adapter is relatively heavy and thus difficult to transport with the instrument in a secure and stable manner and/or can become easily separated from the instrument and is thus relatively easily misplaced.
There exists, therefore, a significant need for an improved power supply adapter of the plug-in type wherein the adapter can be plugged into a standard electrical socket without interfering with access to adjacent sockets, and further wherein the adapter includes means for convenient and stable mounting in a stored position in association with an electronic instrument for transport purposes. The present invention fulfills these needs and provides further related advantages.
In accordance with the invention, an improved power supply adapter is provided for plug-in connection to a standard AC power supply receptacle and to provide a DC voltage to an associated electronic instrument, particularly such as a medical instrument. The power supply adapter is designed with an AC adapter assembly mounted within a compact adapter case having an end face with conductive plug prongs protruding therefrom. The components of the transformer assembly are arranged generally in-line between the conductive prongs and a power cord, such that the case can be constructed with a narrow width and low profile height to avoid obstructing adjacent electrical sockets of a standard duplex or quad wall outlet or the like.
The case of the power supply adapter further includes means for relatively simple removable mounting in a stored position on or in close association with the electronic instrument when the power supply adapter is not in use. In a preferred form, the mounting means comprises a mounting clip formed integrally with the adapter case for secure yet removable mounting onto a bracket arm or other support structure associated with the electronic instrument.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings which illustrate, by way of example, the principles of the invention.
These and other advantages of the present invention are best understood with reference to the drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a front perspective view illustrating an electronic medical instrument with an associated power cord and a plug-in power supply adapter embodying the novel features of the invention;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged rear perspective view of the power supply adapter;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged top plan view of the power supply adapter, with a portion of the adapter case removed to illustrate the arrangement of components of an AC adapter assembly;
FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of the power supply adapter;
FIG. 5 is a fragmented perspective view illustrating mounting of the power supply adapter in a stored position in association with the electronic instrument of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 6 is a sectional view depicting an alternative preferred form of the power supply adapter.
As shown in the exemplary drawings, an improved AC adapter referred to generally in FIG. 1 by the reference numeral 10 is provided for use with an electronic instrument 12, such as a fluid medication infusion pump. The power supply adapter 10 is designed for quick and easy plug-in connection to a standard AC power supply receptacle 14, and to provide a DC voltage via a power cord 16 to the electronic instrument 12. The AC adapter 10 is particularly constructed with an elongated geometry having a relatively narrow width and low profile height, such that the AC adapter 10 does not obstruct or otherwise interfere with access to adjacent electrical sockets 17 of a multisocket receptacle 14.
Although the power supply adapter 10 of the present invention may be used with a wide range of electrical and/or electronic instruments, the illustrative drawings show the adapter 10 in a preferred environment of use, namely, in association with an electronic instrument 12 in a medical environment. FIG. 1 illustrates the instrument 12 in the form of a fluid medication infusion pump corresponding with the MiniMed III fluid infusion pump marketed by MiniMed Technologies of Sylmar, Calif., which infusion pump shall also be referred to by the reference numeral 12.
The illustrative infusion pump 12 comprises a relatively compact instrument adapted for mounting onto a conventional portable medical equipment pole 18 by means of an appropriate clamp fixture 20, such as an adjustable clamp fixture of the type described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,832,299, which is incorporated by reference herein. The infusion pump 12 is shown to include multiple parallel pumping systems for independent programming and control to regulate administration of multiple medical fluids from appropriate reservoirs 22 to the patient (not shown) via suitable tubing 24.
The electronic control components and associated electronically powered pumping devices are integrated into the housing of the infusion pump 12. The infusion pump 12 is designed for normal operation by connection to an appropriate 120 volt AC power supply receptacle 14 by means of the AC adapter 10 and the power cord 16, with the AC adapter 10 comprising an adapter for supplying a selected DC voltage to the infusion pump 12.
As shown best in FIGS. 2-4, the AC adapter 10 includes a relatively compact housing or case defined by a lower base 28 and an upper cap 30. These case components, in the preferred form, are constructed from a relatively lightweight and high impact molded plastic, such as glass-filled nylon. The base 28 and the cap 30 have a generally shell-shaped configuration which cooperatively define a hollow case interior for receiving and supporting the components of an AC adapter electrical assembly 32.
More specifically, the AC adapter electrical assembly 32 comprises a transformer 34 securely seated within the base 28 in a nested or cradled relation with respect to a plurality of short locator tabs 36. The transformer 34 is positioned in close proximity with a forward end wall 38 from which a plurality of conductive prongs 40 protrude in a conventional three prong array for plug-in connection to the AC power supply receptacle 14. In the preferred form, these conductive prongs 40 are securely mounted near their rear ends within the end wall 38 as by means of insert molding or the like.
The remaining components of the AC adapter electrical assembly 32 are mounted within the adapter case in a generally in-line configuration with respect to the transformer 34 and the conductive prongs 40. FIGS. 3 and 4 show these remaining components in the form of a filter capacitor 42 and a rectifier 44. All of these transformer components are appropriately coupled electrically by means of suitable conductive wires 46.
A selected trio of the wires 46 are assembled within a protective outer sheath 48 to define the power cord 16 connected to the associated electronic instrument 12. In this regard, these conductive wires 46 are suitably collected for passage through a notch 50 formed in a rear end wall 52 of the base 28. A strain relief fitting 54 is mounted at the rear end wall 52 and defines a flexible structural member connected between the base 28 and the power cord 16 to anchor the power cord 16 securely to the adapter 10.
In other words, the strain relief fitting 54 has a mounting head plate 56 at one end thereof for seated reception against an inboard side of the rear end wall 52 on the base 28, with a narrow neck 58 adjacent the head plate 56 and sized for close-fit reception through the open notch 50. From the neck 58, the strain relief fitting 54 includes an alternating sequence of plate and neck segments 60 and 62 which define a flexible structure to securely retain the associated end of the power cord 16 therein.
Importantly, the strain relief fitting 54 is designed to permit flexure (FIG. 2) substantially at the adapter case as may be required for adapter use in close clearance locations. Moreover, the fitting 54 is designed to prevent or resist cord breakage at the adapter as may otherwise occur, for example, when the adapter is unplugged by pulling on the power cord 16.
With the AC adapter electrical assembly 32 installed within the lower base 28 and the strain relief fitting 54 mounted thereto, the adapter case is closed by mounting the cap 30 onto the base 28. Such mounting may occur by use of snap-fit connections, ultrasonic welding, and/or adhesive, with a permanently closed adapter case construction being desired.
The resultant AC adapter 10 includes the components of the AC adapter electrical assembly 32 in a substantially in-line arrangement between the conductive prongs 40 and the power cord 16. The adapter 10 thus has an elongated shape which can be easily grasped and/or manipulated manually for plug-in connection to and unplugging from a power supply receptacle.
The elongated AC adapter electrical assembly 32 further presents a relatively narrow width and low profile height conforming generally with the dimensions of a standard electrical power plug, such that plug-in connection of the AC adapter 10 to an electrical socket 17 (FIG. 1) does not interfere with or otherwise obstruct access to adjacent electrical sockets 17 of a typical duplex, quad, or strip outlet 17. As a result, the adjacent sockets 17 remain available for easy access and plug-in connection with other electronic instruments as may be necessary or desirable.
Although the specific size and shape of the AC adapter 10 of the present invention may vary according to a range of design criteria, it is noted that the width and height of the adapter case are predominantly a function of the size and shape of the transformer 34. In this regard, through the use of a compact transformer such as that available from ISL Products International, Ltd., of Syosset, N.Y., under model designation EI 41, it has been possible to construct an AC adapter 10 with a low profile height of about 1.5 to 1.6 inch and a narrow width of about 1.7 to 1.8 inch.
In accordance with further aspects of the improved AC adapter 10 of the present invention, the assembled adapter case defines a rearwardly projecting mounting clip 64 for convenient removable mounting of the AC adapter 10 in a stored position with respect to the associated electronic instrument 12. The clip 64 is shown in the form of a rearwardly projecting clip leg 66 formed integrally with the base 28 and/or cap 30 at one side of the case. Conveniently, to prevent undesired increase in the case width or height, the clip leg 66 is formed as a continuation of a wider frontal portion of the case within which the transformer core 34 is mounted, but in spaced relation with a narrow rear case portion having the filter capacitor 42 therein.
In the preferred form, the clip leg 66 cooperates with the narrow rear portion of the case to define a rearwardly open slot 68 sized for reception of a bracket arm 70 of the clamp fixture 20, as viewed in FIG. 5. That is, the clip 64 permits the adapter 10 to be removably mounted quickly and easily onto the bracket arm 70 in close stored association with the medical instrument 12. A lock tooth 72 at the inboard free end of the clip leg 66 includes tapered leading and trailing edges for facilitating secure clip-on mounting and subsequent removal of the adapter 10 from the bracket arm 70.
A support strap 74 having Velcro-type fasteners may also be mounted onto the bracket arm 70 for releasably supporting the power cord 16 in a coiled or other suitably compact configuration.
One alternative preferred form of the improved power supply adapter is shown in FIG. 6, with components corresponding generally with those shown and described in FIGS. 1-5 being identified by common primed reference numerals. As shown, a modified adapter 10' includes a transformer 34' mounted within a compact case in in-line relation with a plurality of conductive plug prongs 40'. The remaining components of The AC adapter 10' include one or more filter capacitors 42' and a rectifier 44', which are insert molded within a separate case portion 78 spaced rearwardly from the transformer 34'.
A strain relief fitting 54' is interposed between the transformer 34' and the capacitors 42' and the rectifier 44', with all of the components again positioned in a generally in-line configuration between the prongs 40' and a power cord 16'.
Although an exemplary embodiment of the present invention has been shown and described, it will be apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art that a number of changes, modifications, or alterations to the invention as described herein may be made, none of which depart from the spirit of the present invention. All such changes, modifications, and alterations should therefore be seen as within the scope of the present invention.

The Togo international was largely unimpressive for Spurs last season despite a late flurry of goals after joining Tottenham on a permanent deal from Manchester City in August.
André Villas-Boas has been linked with a host of striker already this summer as the Tottenham manager looks to bolster his attacking options at the north London club.
And Besiktas chief Piper admitted Adebayor would be a "dream" signing for the Turkish club but hinted any deal for the African would be protracted.
"It is certainly true that we are looking at the idea of a transfer. We have made a serious bid for Adebayor," Piper told Fanatik.
"That, in turn, has given us a figure for the player, which is slightly above the amount that we imagined.
"However, making a signing as big as this immediately is nothing but a dream.
"Negotiations always take a long time. I hope that we will get a chance to have a meeting soon."
Adebayor scored five goals in 18 Premier League starts for Tottenham last season.

This shoot will be with model Brittnie. Brittnie is a newer model and has a great look to bring to your lens. If there are any newer photographers, do not be intimidated. I will explain everything as we go.
Wardrobe for this shoot will be a sexy punk look. She will bring the same thing as on this shoot - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/yucqc32pulq74fq/9nIs0IkG9O?m
Lighting possibilities/suggestions: We can vary light setups. You can see that the included photos had some 2 light in front of the seamless. We can experiment with one light and split lighting with different backdrops also.
Mood of shots and posing is up to the individual photographers. We will take turns setting up lighting and model location. For each lighting setup, you will get a chance to shoot. Anyone wanting to setup lights has usually been able to do a light setup on all of my shoots.
I will be there to share what I know about lighting these subjects, and as always these group shoots are a great way to experiment. If you have never been on a shoot with me, I just ask that everyone act like we were asked in elementary school - share and respect each other :) And have fun exploring photography!!

Introduction by: James Razor Brown .
Unknown Contributor Role: Danny Ray.
During the mid- and late '80s, after Brown and Polydor parted ways, the label began to reissue his work, some of which had been out of print for close to a decade. Motherlode is one of the finest compilations. Coming a few years after In the Jungle Groove, a compilation effort that culled some of Brown's harder-edged 1969-1971 tracks, this covers 1969-1973 and has the smoothness of a regular release effort.
By this point, Motherlode producers Cliff White and Tim Rogers began to know more about Brown's "classic" work than he did and could do compilations where the tracks were all potent. This set starts off with an explosive live take of "There It Is" recorded at the Apollo in 1972. 1969's "She's the One" with his late-'60s orchestra has great guitar work from both Jimmy "Chank" Nolan and Alphonso "Country" Kellum. Since most of the tracks here weren't hits, or were even released, it provides a fresh interpretation of Brown's production style and the skills of his players. "Untitled Instrumental" features Brown's rock and psychedelic-influenced unit, with included guitarist Phelps Collins and his brother, Bootsy Collins, and his singular bass skills. The heart of this CD, however, is "People Drive Your Funky Soul." Originally on Slaughter's Big Rip Off in a too brief 3:50 version, Motherlode brings the entire take to the public for the first time. The track, which manages to subtly cross reggae with bebop, again features Brown with his 1971-1975 band and it exhibits their chemistry and the band's unbelievable versatility. Although Motherlode has been lost in the shuffle due to a plethora of other compilations, this is still illuminating and enjoyable. ~ Jason Elias

The effectiveness of an oral polivirus vaccine using Sabin strains was studied among some 350 preschool children beginning in January, 1960. Although 79% of the children had previously received 3 or more doses of killed virus vaccine, a relatively high per cent lacked antibody to one or more types, and 22% of 348 children were triple negatives. The oral vaccine was given according to 3 different dosage schedules: each type singly; Type 1 followed by Types 2 and 3 together; and trivalent vaccine twice, 6 weeks apart. The infection and antibody conversion rates were similarly high for all 3 schedules, the overall conversion rates being 95% for Type 1, 98% for Type 2, and 86% for Type 3. The results emphasize the desirability of oral vaccine for young preschool children regardless of previous administration of multiple doses of killed Salk-type vaccine.
