Braves take Mike Minor with first pick - Atlanta - Scout
Braves take Mike Minor with first pickBill Shanks06/09/2009The Braves have taken Vanderbilt left-hander Mike Minor with the seventh pick in the first round of the 2009 draft.The Atlanta Braves were interested in high school pitcher Zach Wheeler, but when he was taken by the San Francisco Giants with the sixth pick in the first round, the Braves knew who they wanted to draft with the next selection.
Vanderbilt left-hander Mike Minor.
In fact, if Wheeler had still been on the board when the Braves pick was up, it would have been a tough choice. And there's no guarantee Wheeler would have been the selection. The Braves like Minor that much.
"This guy is awesome," said Braves scouting director Roy Clark. "He's the total package."
Atlanta was impressed with Minor's performance last year for Team USA, and his strong outings late this season for Vandy convinced the Braves Minor would be a strong candidate for their pick.
"This was the ace of Team USA," Clark said. "He's got a chance to win a lot of games in the big leagues. I love Mikie Minor."
Clark contends the talk about this being a safe pick, or about signability, is untrue. The Braves had Minor very high on their draft board. In fact, when the Padres were picking third, the Braves worried they'd take Minor. Instead, San Diego took Georgia prep outfielder Donovan Tate.
Minor is six-foot-four, 195-pounds. He attended Forrest High School in Chapel Hill, Tennessee. The left-hander is known as a great competitor, along with a strong assortment of pitches. The changeup is Minor's best pitch. Minor will turn 22 on December 26th. He's one of seven children, and Minor was a sociology major at Vanderbilt.

PexaOriginal AssigneePexa Charles EExport CitationBiBTeX, EndNote, RefManPatent Citations (4), Referenced by (58), Classifications (9), Legal Events (3) External Links: USPTO, USPTO Assignment, EspacenetAir eliminator for intravenous tubeUS 4596557 AAbstract Solid, soft, penetrable, non-coring material for filling a side-arm injection port of an intravenous tube. The material occludes the injection port or other site where air or administered medications may be trapped in the tubing. The material fills the area that lies out of the main stream of the intravenous infusate while allowing medication injection through the non-coring material. The material also decreases or practically eliminates any weeping from the numerous injections into a port, lessening the chance for sepsis.
I claim: 1. In combination, intravenous tube with side-arm injection port and air eliminator comprising:a. intravenous tube means with a side-arm port means; and, b. air eliminator means located in the side-arm port means and including an angled flat end and an end that conforms to intravenous mainline flow and decreases turbulence. 2. Combination of claim 1 wherein said air eliminator means is made of solid, soft, penetrable, non-coring, rubber material.
3. Combination of claim 1 wherein said air eliminator means comprises a cylindrical member including an angled end and a cap end.
4. Combination of claim 3 wherein said cap end engages over a side port of an intravenous tube.
The present invention pertains to an intravenous infusion line, and more particularly, pertains to an intravenous infusion line including a non-coring material at a side-arm injection port. This eliminates any air or medication trappings.
Traditionally, air pockets have been created in intravenous infusion lines at the side-arm injection ports because the injection ports are outside of the main flushing stream when the intravenous is first run. The air must be removed and has been done so by needle aspiration or by striking the port to jar air bubbles loose. These air bubbles must again be cleared from the remainder of the line.
Hazards of air embolism are death, cerebral vascular accidents, such as a stroke, pulmonary hypertension or the like. Ventricular septal defects allow air to shunt across the heart and go into the arterial circulation with potential serious consequences. Medication can, therefore, accumulate in these areas denying the patient of needed medication or allowing for uncontrolled dispersal.
The prior art is replete with references identifying this problem, but as of this time, the problem has not been solved.
The present invention overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art by providing a solid, soft, penetrable, non-coring material which fills the side-arm injection ports of intravenous tubing.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The general purpose of the present invention is to provide a solid, soft, penetrable, non-coring material for filling the side-arm injection ports of an intravenous tubing. The material fills the area that lies out of the main stream of the intravenous infusate, while allowing medical injection.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an intravenous tube including a side-arm injection port, and a solid, soft, penetrable, non-coring material filling the side-arm injection port including a plug having an angular bottom for substantially coinciding with the intravenous fluid flow.
One of the significant aspects and features of the present invention is an air eliminator for an intravenous tube which provides a least amount, if any, or minimal air trappings due to a soft, solid, penetrable, non-coring material filling the dead space in the current system. Also, the same material provides for a least, or no drug accumulation.
Another significant aspect and feature of the present invention of an air eliminator for intravenous tubing is a solid, soft, penetrable, non-coring material which fills a side-arm injection port which provides for minimal or practically no infusate leaking after multiple injections and thus decreasing any chances of infection, as currently occurs.
Having best described the principal embodiment of the present invention, it is an object hereof to provide an air eliminator of a soft, solid, penetrable, non-coring material for a side-arm injection port of an intravenous tube.
One object of the present invention is a soft, solid, penetrable, non-coring material which fills sidearm injection ports and occludes the injection ports or other site where air or administered medications may be trapped in the tubing. The added bulk decreases any weeping from numerous injections into a port.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 illustrates a side view of an intravenous tube with a side-arm injection port and an air eliminator; and,
FIG. 2 illustrates a cross section of FIG. 1.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 illustrates a side view of a air eliminator 10, the present invention, in a side-arm injection port 12 of an intravenous tube 14. The intravenous tube 14 includes a main body 16, a main stream input port 18, the side-arm injection port 12 connected thereto, and a main stream output port 20. The input intravenous tubing 22 and the output intravenous tubing 24 connect between the main body 16. The chamber area 26 provides for mixing the intravenous solution 36 and the injected medication 38. The air eliminator 10 contains a solid, soft, penetrable, non-coring, soft rubber material 28 for a cylindrical member including an angled end 30 and a flat other end 32. A rubber cap 34 surrounds the side-arm injection port 12. The rubber cap 34 and eliminator material 28 are one piece as illustrated, but can be formed as two pieces as so desired.
The main stream intravenous fluid 36 flows through the input intravenous tubing 22 and mixes with the injected fluid 38 providing for a main stream injected fluid mix 40. The angled flat end 32 geometrically conforms to intravenous mainline flow and decreases turbulence.
FIG. 2 illustrates a sectional view where all numerals correspond to those elements previously described. Particularly illustrated in the air eliminator 10 is the soft, solid, non-coring material 28.

Test values of process variables relating to operation of the emissions source are gathered, along with corresponding time-correlated test values of the emissions variable to be predicted. Using the test values of the process variables, test values of a plurality of first coefficients are calculated for each process variable and associated with the process variable, and test values of a plurality of second coefficients are calculated for each value of each process variable and associated with the value of the process variable. Comparison values of the process variables relating to operation of the emissions source are gathered, along with corresponding time-correlated comparison values of the emissions variable to be predicted. Using the comparison values of the process variables, comparison values of a plurality of first coefficients are calculated for each process variable and associated with the process variable, and comparison values of a plurality of second coefficients are calculated for each value of each process variable and associated with the value of the process variable. Predetermined combinations of the comparison values of the variables and their associated coefficients are then iteratively compared with the test values of the respective variables and associated coefficients. Where the comparison yields matches between the comparison values and test values of the variables and their associated coefficients, the test values of the emissions variable associated with the matched test values of the variables are averaged and assigned as a predicted value of the emissions variable.

Dear Joe, Connie and Family. I am sorry to read about your mom's death. Praying for your comfort during this time of grief.
Aunt Mary was very loving to me as I grew up. Remember her being excited, when she found out she was having a daughter. We looked at all the fancy girl stuff she bought. Her children were all beautiful babies. Many fun memories with her. My sympathy to her family.
My condolences to the entire Azar Family. Memory Eternal Mary Rose!

River Point - Rustic - Bedroom - boston - by Albert, Righter & Tittmann Architects, Inc.
Albert, Righter & Tittmann Architects, Inc.Architects & Designers	Email	Save to Ideabook275Ask a Question1Print	River Point
River Point is a new house that incorporates a row of picturesquely disheveled old sheds and barns into a connected whole. The aim is to play up the idea of organic growth over time, without jarring contrasts between old and new buildings. The sheds set the stage, one of them acting as a gate lodge that you go through to get to the house.
The language and materials of the house are compatible with but distinct from the sheds. The gambrel roof of the house sweeps out at the eaves in a graceful curve to broad overhangs that shelter generous windows. A stair tower with expressive, exaggerated roof brackets also signals that the new house isn’t an old farm building.

Opinion | On Cybersecurity: Two Scoops of Perspective - The New York Times
Opinion|On Cybersecurity: Two Scoops of Perspective
“I Work for N.S.A. We Cannot Afford to Lose the Digital Revolution,” by Glenn S. Gerstell (The Privacy Project, nytimes.com, Sept. 10), crystallizes the Orwellian absurdity of our national security situation.
It’s not enough for the United States to spend more than half of our country’s discretionary budget each year on endless war. Now we’re told that we must spend trillions more, sacrifice our privacy and essentially nationalize Google. All in the name of national security.
It is a tragic waste of money. But more than that, it is a fool’s errand. It’s an arms race in which the whole world loses. Including us. We could decrease the defense budget by 50 percent, still spend more than Russia and China combined, and spend the rest waging peace, not war.
Let’s use our defense budget to help people struggling with the kind of economic deprivation that President George W. Bush called “the breeding grounds for extremists.”
We cannot buy our way to security with weapons and counter-weapons and counter-counter-weapons. The only way we will achieve security is through cooperation and mutual aid.
Deride me as a hippie peace and love child. Jesus makes for good company in that regard.
The writer is the co-founder of Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream.

Preferably, the variable frequency signal is made up of a number of pulses, the frequency of which is based upon the rate of change of the sensor measurement. The variable frequency signal is converted to A and B incremental signals, the phase relationship between the A and B signals representing the sign (positive or negative) of the rate of change, and each transition in the A or B signal representing an increment to be added to or subtracted from the synthesized sensor measurement count. In one embodiment, a voltage-to-frequency converter is used to convert a velocity signal to a variable frequency signal, and flip flops and inverters are used to create the A and B signals. Preferably the A and B signals are square waves in quadrature. A method and apparatus for accurately controlling the output of an incremental signal generation system is also provided, wherein the synthesized transducer measurement count is fed back to produce a measurement error signal. The error signal is then used to drive an incremental signal generation circuit in order to produce A and B incremental signals.

Definately not a fun tour, just alearning experience. A tour guide takes you around the place. Their videos are definately high quality stuff. you can also view the adeverts for each drink in an interactive room. you also get to drink beer from a traditional pot during the historic part of the tour. The setup of the tour is also quite nice as you go further undeground. its a short tour. best part is drinking free beer and enjoying free ciders on their balcony outside :)

Ask GCSJohannesburg about SAB World of Beer
The tour was fine. Got to taste some of the traditional Zulu beer served in a pot. The guide was good and seemed to be able to answer all the questions. At the very end we got a couple of beers free and got to enjoy the skyline of Johannesburg while sitting outside on a summer evening.
Ask kashgo about SAB World of Beer
Whether you love beer or not - this place has to be seen as there is a tour showing how its made some 3d entertainment and afterwards you can enjoy a meal of your choice at the restaurant. Great for team building outings or just taking your family out for the day.
