Prospects Daily: European financial markets slump, U.K. economy expands at its fastest pace in three years, Mexico's merchandise trade deficit narrows
Financial Markets… The Japanese yen weakened for the first time in five days as speculations Japan's government is still considering cutting corporate taxes and putting more funds into stocks damped the currency's relative safe-haven attraction and sparked gains for Tokyo shares. The drop in the Japanese unit has been correlated with increasing risk appetite. The yen depreciated 0.5% against the dollar to 98.95, while Japan's currency eased 0.3% against the euro to 133.59.
Prospects Daily: Dollar eases, U.S. to reach debt ceiling by Oct. 17, Brazil's producer price inflation accelerates

The greenback fell 0.2% versus the Japanese currency to 98.5 yen, while it rose against the Australian dollar and the New Zealand dollar.

Ramon Martinez Injured: Broken FingerJune 2, 2009
Ramon Martinez broke his pinkie while sliding into home, scoring the only Mets' run of the game.
Martinez will more then likely be added to the disabled list. The Mets can either play shorthanded until Friday when Reyes comes off the DL, or bring someone up.
The Mets are clearly struggling offensively with all the injuries and I wouldn't play one man down.
Javier Valentin is a right handed bat, who is hitting .333 in AAA. He's primarily a catcher, but is playing first base and third base in Buffalo. He also has some emergency experience in left field.
I would bring up Valentin for the offense and then send Valdez down when Reyes comes off the DL. Despite being a slick glove Valdez isn't necessary with Cora back.
Ramon Martinez left Tuesday night's game with a dislocated left pinkie, which he suffered on an awkward slide into home plate. source Daily News

Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
Can legal action be taken against a relative who is removing personal belongings of mine from my house. He has his own house but has moved in to mine while I am living with my daughter as I am elderly and need care.

Yes. It can be costly so the value of what has been removed needs to be weighed against the cost of such litigation.

HOUSTON, Dec. 8 (UPI) -- Ohio State linebacker A.J. Hawk Wednesday was named winner of the 2005 Lombardi Award, given annually to the top lineman or linebacker in college football.
He was a semi-finalist for the award last year.
Hawk, a senior, led the Buckeyes in tackles in each of the last three seasons. This season, he rang up 60 solo tackles, 7½ sacks, one interception and scored one touchdown. He is the first Buckeye finalist since Andy Katzenmoyer in both 1997 and 1998, and the fifth OSU player to win the award and joins former Buckeyes Jim Stillwagon, who won the inaugural award in 1970, John Hicks, who won in 1973, Chris Spielman, who won in 1987, and Orlando Pace, who is the only repeat winner in 1995 and 1996.
Hawk beat out Louisville defensive end Elvis Dumervil, Texas defensive tackle Rod Wright and Penn State linebacker Paul Posluszny.
Georgia's David Pollack was named winner of the award last year.

Trust Finance: A Study of the Genesis, Organization, and Management of Industrial Combinations
Originally published in 1903, at the height of the "trust era," Professor Meade of the then Wharton School of Finance and Economy, examined the trust question from the viewpoint of financial management. In the preface he says: "Recent discussions of the trust question have shown the existence among persons of every shade of opinion of a conviction that serious blunders have been made in the organization and financial management of many industrial combinations, and that the result of these blunders is a condition of overcapitalization which is a menace to general business security. Opinions may differ as to the evils of monopoly prices, and the undue advantages in competition which are alleged to have arisen out of the combination movement, but, apparently, there is a general assent to the proposition that there is in the United States a large mass of speculative securities behind which is no guarantee of earning power sufficient to maintain their value under ordinary fluctuations of business prosperity. This condition, it is held, involves serious danger to every legitimate business interest. It is proposed in this volume to examine the grounds upon which this opinion is based, and to determine whether or not it is warranted by the known facts of trust capitalization and management." Meade's work was cited several times in the 1904 publication of The Theory of Business Enterprise by Thorstein Veblen.

I'm having a Blog Party! Glad You Could Come!By
I do this work because I have a passion for planting the seeds of hope and spreading encouragement for healing and recovery where there has been a history of depression, feelings of unworthiness, psychological abuse, child abuse, sexual abuse, low self esteem, addictions, eating disorders and all the other types of struggles that so many of us seem to deal with in the course of a lifetime. I do it because I love to see the lights go on when someone has a break through. I like to hear the chains breaking. I like to watch people get their wings back. I love to be a small part of that process.
I am dedicated to the pursuit of wholeness and freedom and to revealing and sharing the truth that I have picked up along the way; I will share it with every other person brave enough to journey. This is what I do, this is part of who I am.
Recovery and overcoming is not easy. There are times when it is like fighting all alone with invisible demons who never retreat. There are times when I questioned whether or not it was worth it; times when I wanted to stop the world and get the heck off. There were times I wondered what kept me going.
I appreciate my persistence today. It paid off. I am grateful for my drive, my passion, my courage; I am free. I am grateful that I found myself and recovered my identity and that I discovered my purpose. I am appreciative of my therapist who encouraged me and guided me through the process and I have no words to thank my friend Teresa who stood by me and fought with me, laughed with me and cried with me; almost daily.
And now I am grateful for you, the people who actually like to hear what I have to say about all this!

Discussion in 'Odds & Ends' started by Say Chi Sin Lo, Oct 30, 2012.
I don't know what your point is. You're just rambling and arguing with yourself.
Chris Paul did not Del Negro. Its as simple as that. MGMT did but the superstr runs the show.
Paul does not to run and gun uptempo all the time. Griffin and Jordan cant play that style yet. Del Negro was trying to get Paul to adapt to the roster, but Pzaul wants evryone to adapt to him.
Hollins Wanted what Grizzlies thought was too much they mutally parted ways. Hollins will get Clips or Nets job and pleantly of cash. Grizz will fill job from withing most likely.
Carlisimo may go back to Spurs bench again. Wouldnt surprise me.
Karl kept getting knocked out in the first round. Just like VDN, he ran into a difficult 1st round matchup.
Yep, Chris Paul wanted Del Negro canned so they fired him and now Pauls unhappy that people realize hes the one who got the coach fired. These dam players are the biggest babies on earth. "You better fire this coach if you want me to resign here bet you also better make it clear that I had nothing to do with his firing, even though I am the only reason hes getting fired."
I don't expect some kid to comprehend logic.
Ignore list. He's a troll that "dislikes" the NBA yet can't stop himself from commenting on the NBA THREAD.
This thread got a little heated didn't it, I thought we were supposed to say classy. That's what Rafa would do.
only 8 hours til tip off. these 9pm starts suck because it's midnight by the time the game is over.
george karl and vinny i think are seen as good, solid coaches. but at some point it can't be just bad luck for them that they flame out in round 1 of the playoffs. after a few mulligans -- it's your fault.
i think the spurs eek out a close one at home. i don't expect parker/duncan/manu to all suck at home at the same time.
Karl has been around long enough to have a track record.
Vinny has not. He looks lost most of the time and does dumb stuff.
But Doc Rivers was the same way. The Celtics stayed the course and had faith and got repayed with a title. It's not easy to coach, manage minutes, and do all that other stuff. Thats what Impresses me about Spoelstra. He really knows what he is doing and figured it our faster than most guys.
Vinny stinks. He is a terrible in game coach. There's not many guys that get better at that over time. You either have it or you don't, and he doesn't. Somehow CP is being made the martyr and ignores the fact that Vinny's a dime a dozen coach at best who won't win anything major in the NBA.
I think you can improve in that regard. Look back at Doc Rivers after year two in Boston
Doc had no talent in those early years in Boston. It was a team in rebuilding. Then they trade for the Big 3 (or big 2 in Garnett/Allen) and the rest is history.
I think the Clips underachieved given the talent they have. Bulls also underachieved under Vinny. It's one thing to lose bc of lack of talent, quite another to have the talent and not succeed because of poor coaching, which is usually the case w/ Vinny-coached teams.
It was classy, until some idiot came in here started insulting people with "did you just started watching the nba" nonsense.
Miller, so hot... Shooting ok too... Heh...
Huge buzzer beater.
Seriously, the guy goes from not playing to being a consistent contributor in a flash. That's hard to do.
San Antonio ended the half hot! 6 points in the last ~20seconds!
Sweet hustle play by the spurs there.
And they're turning the Heat into a jump shooting team. That's a winning formula.
But holy crap, Mike Miller is shooting the Heat into this game.
Bosh just flopped again.
Worst ive seen the heat play since 2004.
Lebrons level has dropped so much he's playing like KD.
Tony Parker walking into the locker room, uh oh.
That's the winning formula
Because the Spurs have turned him and the rest of the Heat into a jump shooters.
3-13 woo!!!
2 in a row! C'mon!
WOW! Pretty pass from Ray Ray!
Bad defensive error at the buzzer again... But there is hope!
Get the fu$$ out of here...
Love how Neal averages 1.3 3's a game. Has 6 tonight.
That's how San Antonio Spurs play. Pop has a great system and they just beat you with a bunch of no names.
But when one team is shooting 3s like that, I'm not sure who can stop them.
Lets be real here, it's not "system" when a bad 3 point shooter hits 6 in one game. It's not "system" that made him average 1.3 3's a game. It's "buddy got hot".
Must be Pop's system that made buddy hit from half court.
Yeah but most of these looks are wide open 3s. It's one thing to shoot over people's hands and make tough fadaways, the Spurs are getting wide open looks out of extra passes.
TRACY McGRADY SIGHTING!!!
Alright, the 3s in this 4th quarter are ridiculous.
Good point. But you're watching the same game I am, if you think this is all because of the system I don't know what to tell you.
Two guys shot 13-19 from 3. Not much you can do.
Half and half. If two oppositions are playing against one another, you can't get this wide open and hold one team responsible.
That's a lot of ice on D-Wade's knees...
Well, just chalk this one up to one of these days... Neal will probably go 1/3 from 3 next game and all will be back to normal.
Hope the heat can bounce back strong. Stats show they do so let's hope.
Now I really want to see McGrady dunk on somebody... For nostalgia.
Holy S!ht even the bench can't miss.
SEE! System yo, system.
Really wanted McGrady to score!
A bad shooter? The guy has a .400 career percentage.
Buddy went 35% this season, but fine we'll call him average or a bit above average.
And for the system talk, I believe they have a good system, duh, all I'm saying is tonight I'm 30% system and 70% they got hot.
Don't remember seeing two players from the same team shooting three points balls that well....... unfortunately, it likely means that the next match is completely open
Aside from the hot shooting...
52-36 rebound differential. 19 offensive boards for the Spurs. Definitely not going to cut it for the Heat.
Is there anything better than the Spurs in full flight? They might not have the whole lob city thing going on, but the ball movement and the way they snipe it from 3 point range is incredible.
I had to miss game 3, I'm afraid. It's a good job I did, the Heat got absolutely massacred.
Yeah Neal/Green won't shoot like that again, but LeBron was absolutely shut down. Spurs have no problem doubling him since Wade/Bosh are shells of themselves. They have to step it up or else it may be over in 5.
Maybe resting your starters during the regular season is more important than the streak, eh?
Separate names with a comma.

Need to create a new folder type - My Projects
*There is like 900 places that this could go, sorry if it is in the wrong spot
So, I just come up off a reinstall. This time separate user accounts for my wife , kids, and myself.
I changed the location of all the folders when you click on "User". I have all this stuff on a separate drive so the kids do not mess with it.
In my drive I have a "My Projects" folder containing all of my programming stuff. I know I can create a new shortcut that just links to the folder, to keep with the My Pictures, My Videos, etc...which I have done. But I'd like to see if there is a way to create another folder type like the My Pictures: you can change the access of it through the location tab. Is this considered a "Special Folder Type"?
I could just pack all this in with the My Documents, however I already have waaaay too many documents...I'm just try to organize things to be a bit more efficient.
Thanks for any help guys.

Why don't you create your folder(s) wherever you like and INCLUDE them into a library that you have previously created.
A Library you create by right clicking on Libraries > New.
To INCLUDE a folder you right click on the folder > Include in Library.

I believe I had already done that, which is probably why none of the new folder links show the option to change the location that the files are stored now.
Sorry to bother with this, I've never needed to keep stuff separated like this. I was thinking there was some sort of additional steps to create a new type of folder. Apparently I was wrong. LOL
Thanks whs

Denna länk har klassats som spam
Considering joining Neways? Have you heard scam rumors that make you a little nervous about signing up? Well you could have come for the best spot for data on the American Multilevel marketing corporation. This overview will provide you with the adverse and optimistic details that should support make your choice somewhat bit simpler. Just before you become a member I suggest you study this whole article as a result of there is a lot that you just will need to have to know about this network marketing chance.
Prior to all of the scam rumors started it was just an additional Mlm opportunity that supplied supplements and private care products for the customer industry. The company was founded back in 1987 by Thomas and Leslie D. Mower. They called the firm "Images and Attitudes" initially. In 1992 the name was changed to Neways. Now the company is number 23 on the best Mlm list however it was not super thriving out of the gate. They had to change locations, they became acquired by a private equity firm, and had to refinance the firm. Far in the perfect start the Mowers would have wanted.
On prime of that there had been several legals complications that faced Neways which created them just look like one more scam. They had been forced to recall many items that proved to be potentially harmful to the clients well being. Additionally they have been convicted on criminal charges for the illegal distribution of human growth hormones with no the proper prescription. The poor news did not quit there. In 2005 Thomas and Leslie Mower were convicted with charges of their very own including tax fraud and lying towards the IRS. They were each ordered to spend a couple years in jail too as pay fines. These are important challenges for any business. Due to the fact of these problems, and others, Japan prevented new members to sign up for a 3 month period back in 2008.Neways ScamClearly, Neways scam rumors will not be just produced up. There has been some really serious concerns that this business has had to handle. There have been countless diverse setbacks because of legal issues at the same time as merchandise having to become recalled. Despite it all, Neways continues to develop and is listed as a single of your best 25 mlm providers. The decision is yours in the event you make a decision to grow to be a member and perform with them. They have changed around their board members and major owners. That is likely what has permitted them to continue to become lucrative. They've not had any big concerns more than the final couple years so this may possibly be the opportunity that may be correct for you personally.
There's a great deal you might want to learn about the NewaysScam stories. The details are introduced listed here in this article. Have a look at my Jared Brown Marketing websites for additional info about the market place.

I've been a subscriber since the first one, but really had my doubts on getting into the 2012 sub. Not so much because I don't like the figures or QC issues, it's just bloody expansive to collect if...
Got my shipping notice, SWEET :hmgrin:
Hey Scott, most times I get really nice figures, sometimes I have to do some minor fixes, which ain't a big issue for me.
Till now I've had one bad Chief Carnivus of my three subscription figures...
Maybe you can call him Cloud, he looks like one, fluffy fur and those blue eyes.
Give it ketamine, while you're at work and you and your puppy should be fine :hmwink:
As for dog names, do you have a picture of your puppy, would make it easier...
Snow, a bike and me
Even if you're not into snowboarding this is very watchable.
It's quite long, but those pictures are truly worth it...
Would be a shame if you miss it... I warned ya :hmwink:
Ah no, sorry to disappoint ya, but the wings are just as on these pictures.
I actually like it, looks pretty cool and more translucent than when it would be a darker yellow like the vintage figure.
Once a month, usually a few days before the figures go on sale, you'll receive a renewal notice. You only get this if you got enough credit, if not they'll try again a few days later.
I always make...
Here ya go...

Haha and Motuc is planned out through 2016, so no chance the world is gonna end before that.
No ending, never ending story please, never like endings, why do have things to end, would you be more satisfied if the story ends?
Just because the calendar of the Mayans stops at 12-21-2012 doesn't mean the end of the world.
If you buy an agenda and it ends 12-31-2011, do you think that's worlds end :hmlol:

Lawrence Mitchell, the dean of the law school at my university, has finally resigned from the deanship while continuing to be a tenured professor. He had been on a leave of absence while a lawsuit against him moved forward. The lawsuit had been brought by associate dean Raymond Ku who charged that Mitchell had retaliated against him for reporting numerous allegations of sexual misconduct involving students and faculty. (I know many of the law school faculty but have never met Mitchell who came here only in 2011. But I know and like Ku who has been here for some time. But not being in the law school, I have no inside knowledge on the merits of the charges.)
Jonathan Turley of George Washington University (where Mitchell worked before he came here and where there were also allegations of sexual improprieties has a good rundown of the situation, suggesting that the CWRU university administration has itself behaved inconsistently on the controversy, first stoutly defending Mitchell and now re-opening the investigation.
What is clear is that Mitchell is unlikely to be considered by another law school while these allegations remain unresolved and he now faces two fronts: an investigation at the university and litigation in the courts. Even if he defeats the lawsuit, it will not likely remove the stigma of having controversies involving sexual matters at two different schools. That may cut off an alternative avenue in academia and leave him with the choice of staying on the Case Western faculty permanently or leaving teaching entirely. Faculties tend to be small and insular places — making this a rather awkward relationship going forward.
With the resignation, the University may find Mitchell something of a liability, particularly if the investigation finds merit in the allegations. Mitchell could then negotiate a golden parachute deal to leave the school. Indeed, attorneys will often discourage a resignation in such cases in the hopes of securing such a deal for a lump sum payment (in exchange for tenure surrender) and/or continuing litigation support. That is not necessarily the motivation of Mitchell in this case, who insists that these allegations are simply retaliatory measures of bitter employees. Mitchell is a talented academic with a long list of impressive works in the corporate field. He is also highly ambitious and creative. He is not someone who is likely to willingly fade into obscurity. I expect that he would be marketable at corporate law firms where these allegations may be viewed as less of a problem, particularly if he goes to New York. [My italics-MS]
This does not speak well of the ethical sensibilities of New York corporate law firms. But I guess we already knew that.

Salvation Army exceeds fundraising goal
The Salvation Army's Red Kettle Campaign has tipped the scales at $113,093.28 as of Jan. 3.
Duana Bremer, executive director of the Salvation Army of St. Croix County, said she couldn't be happier with this year's results.
"The St. Croix County Red Kettle Campaign was a success once again because of the support of the generous public," Bremer said.
The Salvation Army set a $110,000 goal for 2012 and that goal had been met as of Christmas; however, Bremer said the campaign continued to help fund the ever growing need in the community.
"A special thanks to all those that helped by donating time ringing or money to the kettles, along with all the retailers in St. Croix County that graciously helped in the fund raising endeavor: Hudson: Wal-Mart, Fleet Farm, Family Fresh, County Market, Papa Murphy's and Walgreens, New Richmond: Family Fresh and Walmart, Baldwin: Nilssen's Super Valu, Roberts: Roberts Grocery Store," she said. "Without the combined support of all of these businesses and people it would not be possible for Salvation Army to help those in need throughout the year."
The money collected through the Red Kettle Campaign is used locally to fund many of the Salvation Army's programs, Bremer said.
The Salvation Army supports programs including emergency assistance for rent, utilities, transportation, dental services and medication. In addition, funds are used to provide milk coupons to all food pantries in the county. Milk coupons provide a gallon of milk to individuals and families who seek assistance at the pantries.
The funds raised during the campaign will also be used for the Happy Kids Backpack program, a program that helps to ensure local students enrolled in the free and reduced lunch program will have enough food to eat while they're not in school, and Grace Place, a shelter in Somerset, Bremer said.
Currently, the Salvation Army packs 140 backpacks for students every week.
At Grace Place, 154 individuals were provided shelter last year. The emergency shelter can house 24 individuals or eight families at any given time.
For more information on what the Salvation Army does in St. Croix County, contact 715-247-2944.

Tampa (Fla.) Middleton junior wide receiver Richard Benjamin claims around 20 scholarship offers at this time. While he is in no rush to eliminate any school interested in his services, the 6-foot, 182-pound wide receiver is focused in on five schools.
"My top five is Florida, Vanderbilt, Miami, Florida State, and South Florida," Benjamin said. "They aren't in any kind of order, they are just my top five."
He talked about what has each of those schools standing out for his services at this stage of the process.
Article Continues Below
Florida: "I feel like that is a program that would be a good fit for me. They need wide receivers and I think I can come in and help."
Florida State: "The 'Noles are in my top five because I have a good connection with their coaching staff and I like their style of offense. They throw the ball a lot. I think that is somewhere that I can fit into."
Miami: "I just love Miami's swagger. I like the coaching staff. I love their tradition."
South Florida: "They are the hometown team. I really like them because of the coaching staff, I really have a good connection with the coaching staff. Also, that is a good place to get a good education."
Vanderbilt: "Their education is great. Their graduation rate is really good and they set you up great for life without football. They are improving in football as well."
During this season, Benjamin has attended games at Florida, Florida State, Miami, South Florida, and Vanderbilt. He is planning to visit South Florida this weekend for their game against Miami and then wrap up the regular season with another visit to Florida for the Gator's regular season finale against Florida State. He is also interested in visiting Georgia in the near future.
At this time, Benjamin is aiming for a summer decision, and he shared what will help him separate all of his offers and find the right place for him to call home for the next few years.
"The education is going to be a big part, the graduation rate and if they have the major that I want to pursue," Benjamin said. "I want to find the school that best fits me."
Middleton struggled this season going 0-10. Benjamin contributes as both a wide receiver and cornerback.

"Hey, Dude, what'cha doin'?"
"I'm checking out the dog drawings I commissioned for the book-in-progress. Here, take a look:"
"Hey, wait just one minute. That looks like me!"
"That's the idea. Since you're in the book, I thought it would be nice to have some pictures that look like you, rather than just a clip-art German Shepherd from Office."
"I look kind of worried, dude."
"Yeah, well, you get that look a lot when we're talking about physics."
"Good point. So, was there a point to this, other than showing off the spiffy drawings an art student did for you?"
"Sure. It's a reminder that I'm working on How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog, due next spring from Basic Books. Now with more cute dog pictures."
"How's that going, anyway?"
"It's coming along. I've got most of the easy edits done, and I see how to deal with the bigger structural things that need doing. It's a little hard to find time to work on it, but progress is being made, and the next round of changes should be finished in a couple of weeks. The final manuscript needs to be in at the start of August."
"And, of course, there's another motive for posting this."
"Which is?"
"It's a good filler post because you're going away for the weekend with the human puppy, leaving me home by myself."
"Yeah, that, too. If the weather is good, we'll be taking SteelyKid to the zoo at about the time this posts."
"I still don't see why she gets to go to the zoo. You never take me to the zoo…"
"That's because she's much less likely to try to chase and eat the animals. Or roll in elephant dung."
"If your noses were worth a quarter-cup of kibble, you'd appreciate the smell."
"Also, the animals in the zoo would all be jealous, because you're the best."
"That, I'll believe. Just bring me back a marmot, will you?"
"I don't think that's likely to happen…"

I'm probably the only person who ever wanted to be a casting director. I think it's pretty rare. I was an actor in high school and college, and I had been working at a summer stock for kids, and I was sort of doing their casting at an amateur level. My third year of college, I studied acting and directing at SUNY Albany, and I thought, "Jeez, I could never live this kind of life. This isn't for me." I couldn't live the day-to-day life of an actor. I needed more structure and discipline.
We had a visiting professor from New York, and he said, "What are you thinking about doing after school?" I said, "I don't think I want to be an actor. I think I'd like to get into casting, but I'm not sure how one approaches that." He said, "Next year, take as many directing classes as you can. Then it's really an apprenticeship business." The next year, I took some graduate directing classes and got the practical experience of working with actors. Right after that, I started in New York.
Certainly, we go to the theater, first and foremost. And then when it comes to new actors, we attend all the school showcases, all the conservatory showcases. There are about 50 a year now, so it's quite a task come March, April, May, and June. We'll go to everything: independent films, the festival circuit—Sundance, Toronto, Tribeca. We look for actors who are emerging out of the independent film world in that market, especially here in New York, where it's so popular.
I would say if I have a pet peeve, it's lack of preparation. You really need to educate yourself. You need to know the style of a show. At least know who the series regulars are; at least be aware of the playing style. Obviously, if you were going in for an episode of "Frasier," when that was on the air, and an episode of "Married…With Children," they're two very different three-camera comedies. "Frasier" is a 23-minute Noël Coward play, and "Married…With Children" is a bawdy farce. The playing styles are very different, even though it's really the same genre. It's amazing to me when a show has a very specific feel—like "Pushing Daisies"—and actors don't know how to negotiate that material because they've never seen the show. They're working in a vacuum.
If you're an actor in New York, you need to be seeing at least an episode or two of every show that is shot and cast in New York. You do yourself a disservice if you haven't seen an episode of "Royal Pains," if you haven't seen an episode of "Damages," if you haven't seen an episode of "Nurse Jackie," if you haven't seen an episode of "Gossip Girl." I really appreciate actors who come in and have really done their research and their work, who have made bold choices in the scene, even if they're incorrect.
I knew it was all about finding the right lady. In my initial meeting with executive producer David Zucker and Scott Free Productions and Robert and Michelle King, who created the show, I brought a list of about 35 women to them, and we talked about a variety of choices. Julianna Margulies' name came up in that meeting, and fortunately she was looking for something. I think we all knew the script was terrific, but it's all about execution.
Somebody asked me, "What was the moment you knew you had a big critical hit on your hands?" I think there was one moment when we were auditioning people and I thought to myself, "If the scene sounds this good in the audition room, what is it going to sound like when it's on film?"
She was brought to me by associate John Andrews; he's completely responsible for that. The part was written as East Indian; it was written specifically as somebody from that culture. We were down the line with another actress, who I was a big fan of and championing. Her manager called and said, "Looks like she's gonna take an ABC show." Then there was another actress we saw and liked quite a bit and we had her on callback, and John walked into my office and said, "Do you know Archie Panjabi? She did a movie with Ridley Scott," who is an executive producer on "The Good Wife." I had just seen her in "A Mighty Heart" with Angelina Jolie and was a big fan of her work in the movie. I said, "What a terrific idea," never thinking that we would find her.
To John's credit, he ran with it and found her in London and had her put herself on tape. The tape wasn't great; we had her re-tape, but in the meantime we had this extraordinary demo reel of her work, and we started floating that to the producers to get them excited. When we looked at the pilot, we said, "Wow, okay. No wonder people are calling her a breakout star."
It's hard to find true leading men in television. That is the toughest category when it comes to pilot casting. In "The Good Wife," our leading man is Josh Charles, and that was a very difficult role. We offered it out to several people, but those guys wanted their own show. Of course, the kinds of guys who would be on that list are guys who could get their own show. For that role, we always had Josh Charles on the list, and I really had to convince him to sign on, because he's been offered single leads in the past. He's a lifelong friend of mine. I was his camp counselor, so I've known him since he was 9 years old.
Early on, I gave Elijah Wood his first television job in a television movie. It was called "Child in the Night," with JoBeth Williams and Tom Skerritt, and he had just done "Avalon" for Barry Levinson. I remember seeing him for the first time and knowing, even at that very young age, he was special.
Josh Radnor came out of NYU. He did an episode of "Welcome to New York" for me, and now he's the star of his own CBS show ["How I Met Your Mother"].
Kyle Chandler: Early on, I cast him in a key recurring role in "Tour of Duty," his first arc in episodic television.
I don't think anybody really ever discovers anybody, but you do advocate and you do champion actors during their careers because you believe in them.
Mark Saks will participate in the panel discussion "Filming in New York: Getting Cast in Gotham" at Actorfest NY on Sat., Oct. 2. For more information, go to www.actorfest.com.

When we participated the virtual round table more than a year and a half ago A2K was not a theme rallying those who worked on issues connected to access to knowledge in Sri Lanka. We, however, identified
The Foss movement
The Seeds movement and
The Anti-globalisation movement,
as active movements that had the potential for providing leadership to an A2K movement in Sri Lanka along with us, the Access to Knowledge Study Group at the Open University of Sri Lanka and to take the initiative to introduce and popularize the concept "access to knowledge". Though we were in favour of defining A2K in the broadest possible sense to incorporate A2K issues that have nothing to do with IPR (still the main barrier to A2K within the context of Sri Lanka and the context of a majority of developing countries) for instance, questioning the marginalisation of informal knowledge in the face of formal knowledge and power at play in knowledge production, we confined ourselves to discuss A2K against the restrictions posed by IPR when we identified the above 3 movements as the potential partners of the A2K movement in Sri Lanka.
It is important to note very briefly what has happened during this last one and half years because that discussion itself would shed more light on A2K issues on the ground, and issues that would influence the emergence of an A2K movement. The seeds movement and anti-globalisation movements (to the extent that one can identify them as movements as we discussed at the virtual round table) have not been particularly active; this is not because the IPR related A2K issues have been resolved but because a diversion of funding that supported such movements to other countries after the conclusion of the war between the Sri Lankan government and the Tamil Tigers and also to other thematic areas such as climate change, postwar reconstruction, debt , social and cultural rights, etc. A few of the prominent Colombo-based NGOs that were active in seeds and anti-globalisation activism and there NGO/CBO network Island wide are struggling for survival. In contrast to that we see the expansion of FOSS initiatives in universities, the public sector and the private sector. The stricter implementation of the IPR law is the reason behind this. Software piracy is represented as a criminal activity and regular raids are conducted on software and VCD/DVD vendors and private institutions. A special unit has now being established at the Criminal Investigation Department to conduct these raids.

The present patent application is a Continuation of patent application having Ser. No. 10/894,865 filed on Jul. 20, 2004 and now abandoned, which is a Continuation-In-Part application of U.S. patent application having Ser. No. 09/903,877 which was filed on Jul. 10, 2001 which matured into U.S. Pat. No. 6,764,496 on Jul. 20, 2004, which is a continuation-in-part patent application having Ser. No. 09/432,351 which was filed on Nov. 2, 1999 and which issued as U.S. Pat. No. 6,258,112 on Jul. 10, 2001, both of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a single use lancet assembly which is substantially compact, yet effective for piercing a patient's finger or other body part to obtain a blood sample. The single use lancet device is further configured to be substantially safe to transport and to ensure that subsequent uses of a contaminated lancet tip cannot occur.
2. Description of the Related Art
Lancets are commonly utilized instruments which are employed both in hospitals and other medical facilities, as well as by private individuals, such as diabetics, in order to prick or pierce a patient's skin, typically on a finger of a patient, thereby leading to the generation of a blood sample which can be collected for testing. Because of the wide spread use of such lancets, there are a variety of lancet devices which are available for utilization by patients and/or practitioners in a variety of different circumstances.
For example, a typical lancet may merely include a housing with a sharp piercing tip that is pushed into the patient's skin. More commonly, however, lancet devices, which house a piercing tip and/or a lancet, have been developed which effectively encase and fire the lancet into the patient's skin, thereby eliminating the need for the person taking the sample to actually push the lancet tip into the skin.
Within the various types of specialized lancet devices, one variety is typically configured for multiple and/or repeated uses, while another category is particularly configured for single use, after which the entire device is disposed of. Looking in particular to the single use, disposable lancet devices, such devices typically include a housing which contains and directs or drives a piercing tip into the patient's skin, and which is disposed of along with the used lancet. Naturally, so to make such disposable devices cost effective for frequent use, such devices tend to be rather simplistic in nature providing only a sufficient mechanism for firing, and not overly complicating the design so as to minimize that cost.
While existing single use devices are generally effective for achieving the piercing of the skin required for effective operation, such single use, disposable devices typically do not incorporate a large number of safety features to ensure the safe use and disposal of the device. For example, one primary area of safety which must be addressed with all lancet devices pertains to the purposeful and/or inadvertent reuse of a contaminated lancet. Unfortunately, most currently available single use lancet devices are configured such that after a use thereof has been achieved, it is possible for a patient to re-cock the device, thereby allowing for a subsequent, inappropriate use.
As a result, it would be highly beneficial to provide a single use lancet device which is substantially compact and disposable, can be manufactured in a substantially cost effective manner, and which nevertheless is substantially safe to utilize, affirmatively preventing re-use, once contaminated.
The present invention relates to a single use lancet device configured to pierce a patient's skin and be useable only a single time, thereby preventing reuse of a contaminated lancet piercing tip. In particular, the present single use lancet device includes a housing having an open interior area and an access opening defined therein. The housing is preferably compact and includes a lancet disposed within its open interior.
Looking to the lancet, it is preferably of the type which includes a body and a piercing tip. It is the piercing tip which includes the pointed configuration structured to penetrate or pierce a patient's skin for the drawing of blood. Moreover, the lancet is cooperatively disposed within the open interior of the housing such that the lancet may move between at least a cocked orientation and a piercing orientation wherein the patient's skin is penetrated by the piercing tip.
Also operatively associated with the lancet is a driving assembly. The driving assembly is structured to move or drive the lancet, at least temporarily, into the piercing orientation from the cocked orientation. Preferably, however, the device is configured such that the cocked orientation is generally maintained until affirmatively released by a user. Along these lines, the present single use lancet device also includes an actuation button operatively associated with the lancet. The actuation button is structured to protrude from the housing, at least when the lancet is disposed in the cocked orientation, so as to be effectively actuatable. When the lancet is in the cocked orientation, the actuation assembly maintains the lancet in that cocked orientation, however, when it is actuated, such as by being pushed inward, the lancet is released from the cocked orientation and the driving assembly propels the lancet at least temporarily into its piercing orientation wherein the piercing tip protrudes through the access opening of the housing.
In order to ensure that lancet device can only be used a single time, the present single use lancet device further includes abutment structure cooperatively disposed between the housing and the lancet. The abutment structure is configured to prevent the lancet from moving into the cocked orientation after movement into the piercing orientation. Preferably, the abutment structure includes a shoulder element and a restrictor panel operatively associated with the lancet and the housing. In particular, the shoulder element is structured to pass over the restrictor panel when the lancet moves from its cocked orientation to its piercing orientation. Conversely, however, when a user attempts to move the lancet back into the cocked orientation after it moved into the piercing orientation, the restrictor panel abuts the shoulder element preventing further movement. As a result, movement of the lancet into the cocked orientation is prevented once the lancet has been used a single time, and subsequent uses of a contaminated lancet are prevented.
For a fuller understanding of the nature of the present invention, reference should be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings in which:
Like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout the several views of the drawings.
Shown throughout the Figures, the present invention is directed towards a single use lancet device, generally indicated as 10. In particular, the single use lancet device 10 of the present invention includes a housing, generally indicated as 20. The housing 20 is preferably substantially small and compact, and may be made of one or a plurality of segments, preferably of a generally rigid, disposable material, such as plastic. The housing 20 includes an at least partially open interior 28 and at least one access opening 22 defined therein. The open interior 28 of the housing 20 is preferably sized and configured to effectively receive a lancet, generally 30 therein.
In particular, the lancet device 10 of the present invention also comprises a lancet 30. The lancet 30 preferably includes a body 32 and a piercing tip 34. The piercing tip 34 is what will be used to pierce a person's skin so as to draw blood to be utilized for a sample and or test procedure. Moreover, the body 32 may be the shaft of the piercing tip 34 and/or an additional structure such as that depicted in the Figures. Regardless, however, the lancet 30 is structured to move within the open interior 28 of a housing 20, preferably at least between a cocked orientation, as depicted in
Looking in further detail to the illustrated lancet device 10, and the path of movement of the lancet 30 within the housing 20, when the lancet device 10 is initially obtained for use, the lancet 30 is preferably maintained in an un-used, initially un-cocked and pre-fired orientation, as best seen in
Preferably utilizing the protective cover 40, the protective cover 40 is structured to be pushed inwardly into the housing by a user, as depicted by the arrows on
The single use lancet of the present invention further includes a driving assembly, generally 38. The driving assembly 38 is particularly configured to move the lancet 30 at least temporarily into its piercing orientation wherein the piercing tip 34 protrudes through the access opening 22 of the housing 20 a desired amount. In particular, if desired, a depth adjustment structure could be positioned at the access opening to control the amount which the piercing tip protrudes from the housing 20. For example, a threaded washer type element could be adjustably secured to the housing 20 in generally surrounding relation to the access opening 22.
Looking further to the driving assembly, preferably the driving movement occurs when the lancet 30 is released from its cocked orientation. In the illustrated embodiment, the driving assembly 38 includes a biasing element operatively disposed between the lancet 30 and the housing 20. Moreover, in the illustrated embodiment a spring is preferably utilized, however, it is recognized that a variety of other driving assemblies can be utilized, including a wedge assembly, a hammer type assembly and/or a resilient material plate, segment or extension, all of which may be configured to move the lancet 30 from the cocked orientation into the piercing orientation. Further, it is preferred that based upon the sizing of the housing 20 and the nature and size of the driving assembly 38, that after the lancet 30 has moved into the piercing orientation wherein the piercing tip 34 protrudes through the access opening 22, the lancet tends to be retracted back into the housing, as best illustrated in
In order to retain, and subsequently effectively release the lancet 30 from its cocked orientation, the single use lancet of the present invention further includes an actuation assembly, generally, 50. Although a variety of different actuation assemblies may be incorporated so as to retain and then release the lancet 30 from its cocked orientation, which in the illustrated embodiment allows the driving assembly to be released from its compressed orientation, the actuation assembly includes an actuation button 52. In the illustrated embodiment, the actuation button 52 is structured to at least temporarily protrude from the housing 20, such as through an actuation aperture 24. Furthermore, the actuation button 52 is preferably secured, either directly or indirectly to the lancet 30, so as to generally restrict movement of the lancet 30 from the cocked orientation when the actuation button 52 protrudes from the housing 20. As a result, the cocked orientation is maintained while the actuation button protrudes from the housing 20. Specifically, in the illustrated embodiment, the actuation button 52 extends from the body 32 of the lancet 30 by a biased segment, and as such, by abutting the housing 20 within the actuation opening 24, movement of the lancet 30 from the cocked orientation is prevented. When, however, the actuation button 52 is actuated, such as by being pushed inwardly, into the housing, it is at least temporarily concealed within the housing 20, removing the abutting engagement and allowing the lancet 30 to freely move within the housing 20, at least temporarily into the piercing orientation. Although the preceding defines the illustrated actuation assembly, it is understood that a variety of alternative actuation assemblies, such as including separate elements to retain and to release the lancet may also be provided, and or including structures which are actually part of the driving assembly and/or remain at least partially exposed and actuatable at all times, may also be provided.
Looking in particular to
The single use lancet 10 of the present invention further includes a restrictor assembly, generally indicated as 60. The restrictor assembly 60 is structured to substantially prevent the lancet 30 from moving back into the cocked orientation of
In the illustrated embodiment, the restrictor assembly 60 includes an abutment structure cooperatively disposed between the housing 20 and the lancet 30. The abutment structure is configured to physically prevent movement of the lancet back into the cocked orientation. Preferably, the abutment structure comprises a shoulder element 62 and a restrictor panel 64 configured to freely pass one another when the lancet 30 moves from the cocked orientation to the piercing orientation, but also configured to abut one another upon attempted movement of the lancet 30 back into the cocked orientation after it has moved into the piercing orientation. Looking to
Although an opposite configuration could be just as effectively utilized, in the illustrated embodiment, the biased finger 62 of the shoulder element extends from the lancet 30, preferably generally toward the piercing tip 34 of the lancet 30, while the restrictor panel 64 protrudes from the housing 20, extending into the open interior 28 of the housing 20. Along these lines, the restrictor panel 64 includes a protruding element preferably with the aforementioned slopped configuration which downwardly slopes away from the piercing tip 34 of the lancet 30 facilitating the aforementioned sliding passage past the shoulder element 62.
So as to provide generally secure movement restriction through effective abutment, both the shoulder element 62 and the restrictor panel 64 each preferably include abutment surfaces 63 and 65, respectably. The abutment surfaces 63 and 65 are structured to generally engage and abut one another, as best illustrated in
Addressing further the restrictor assembly of the present invention, it is understood that a variety of different restrictor assemblies may be effectively utilized which prevent movement of a lancet 30 back into a cocked orientation after the lancet 30 has moved sufficiently forward and/or has moved into the piercing orientation. As such, the embodiment illustrated in
Since many modifications, variations and changes in detail can be made to the described preferred embodiment of the invention, it is intended that all matters in the foregoing description and shown in the accompanying drawings be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense. Thus, the scope of the invention should be determined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents.
