Gallery: Stockholm's Subway System is the World's Largest Underground A...
The Stockholm subway system is often described as the world's largest art museum — for the price of a Metro ticket, you can enjoy impressive works of art spanning from the 1950s to the 2000s. The Metro spans more than 110 kilometers, and 90 of the 100 stations in the system have been decorated with world-class murals and sculptures from 150 different artists.
The T-Centralen station — the city's central subway station — which was designed by Per Olof Ultvedt in 1975, is perhaps the most iconic of them all, and it features massive blue-and-white paintings on its cave-like ceilings. With its bright red walls and ceiling, the Solna Centrum station looks otherworldly. The Kungsträdgården subway station has been designed to look like an archaeological dig, and it features the remains of Stockholm's old Makalös palace. And the Östermalmstorg stations features art by Siri Derkert that focuses on themes that include the environment and women's rights.

Rethinking Ghana's Energy Future
In late 2006 and continuing into 2007, Ghana experienced a major power crisis that caused planned power outages, also known as load shedding, with outages lasting up to 72 consecutive hours. Since then, Ghana has sought to strengthen its electricity sector. However, in spite of these efforts, power supply continues to be a challenge....
Reflections on My Saybrook Experience
When I left my job to start out on my own, after 4.5 years of working with a non-governmental organization (NGO) in underserved communities in Ghana, I knew I wanted to work with people. My experience working in these communities brought me closer to people in a different way. I was slowly able to relate to what their needs were, and I found that...

Practice Philosophy
At the office of Dr. Glynn Bolitho, our goal is to provide you with exceptional surgical care. Our staff works to provide the best possible surgical outcomes in a setting that embodies the standards and lifestyle you seek. This means attention to your individual needs before, during and after surgery.
Our founder, Dr. Bolitho structures his practice around personalized, one-on-one care. We believe that plastic surgery is your first step to permanent lifestyle enhancement. From consultation to follow up, our professional staff strives to meet the individual needs and desires of our patients. Dr. Bolitho's precision and attention to detail are unrivaled, ensuring positive, successful outcomes for all his patients.
Dr. Bolitho received his medical degree from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. As a medical student he was awarded the Harwood Nash medal for Surgery, the Society of Anesthetists' prize for Anesthesia, the prize for Gynecology, and the Protea Surgical prize for the final year medical student to demonstrate the most clinical ability. He graduated cum laude in 1986.
He then embarked on general surgical and orthopedic surgical training prior to commencing plastic surgery. During this preliminary period, he elected to dedicate himself to basic science research in the laboratory where Dr. Christiaan Barnard performed his early research. His primary focus was in the field of liver transplantation and microvascular surgery. Following a successful period in the laboratory, he received numerous awards including the Lennox Gordon prize for the most distinguished publication by a resident in training, the Bunny Angorn prize for the best resident presentation by the Surgical Research Society, the Association of Surgeon's medal for the best publication by a resident, and the George Sacks prize for outstanding postgraduate research. The culmination was the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) by thesis. The thesis involved study of the ability of the liver to regenerate following transplantation.
He spent five years completing plastic surgery residency training at the University of Cape Town, Oxford University in the UK, and at Emory University in Atlanta. After completion of plastic surgery residency, he completed fellowships in hand surgery and surgical oncology. He was later invited to join the esteemed faculty at Emory University, in Atlanta, where he was appointed Assistant Professor in the Division of Plastic Surgery. During this time he was awarded the Teacher of the Year award, and was awarded the best (joint) author for a paper at the South Eastern Society of Plastic Surgeons meeting.
In June 2000, he entered private practice in La Jolla, CA where he currently practices. He serves as Voluntary Associate Professor in the Division of Plastic Surgery University of San Diego (non-salaried).
Dr.Bolitho is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and the equivalent plastic surgery boards in Britain, Canada and his native South Africa. He is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, the Royal College of Surgeons of Canada, a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic surgeons. and the American Society of Bariatric Plastic Surgeons.
This is your most important step in making a decision to have surgery. Dr. Bolitho will meet with you to discuss your goals, desires and expectations. He will also address any questions or concerns you may have and offer you realistic recommendations and options based on the information you provide. The goal of this initial consultation is to provide you with a clear understanding of what can be achieved as a result of your procedure.

2012 Year in Review: The 10 Best Movies
Django Unchained
Quentin Tarantino is perhaps the only filmmaker alive who could make a funny movie about slavery, but there are few cinematic experiences this year (or any other) as fun as his tale of a freed slave who teams up with a bounty hunter to rescue his wife from a plantation owner. Without hesitating to highlight the atrocities suffered by blacks at the hands of whites, the film manages to be harrowingly serious and raucously enjoyable at the same time, thanks to Tarantino's typically singular sense of humor.
As the title character, Jamie Foxx plays Django as an evolving, self-actualizing man regaining his humanity even as he embraces his own monstrousness, while Christoph Waltz oozes an oddball charm as the bounty hunter who despises slavery but isn't above exploiting it in order to accomplish his own goals. Then of course there's Leonardo DiCaprio, who's never seemed to enjoy himself so much as here, playing Calvin Candie, a calculating but too-clever-to-be-smart slave owner who keeps Django from his wife. An action-filled adventure that manages simultaneous intensity and languor, Tarantino makes his movie-est movie to date, and one whose legend should only appreciate in the years to come.

Patricia makes chocolates with style and substance. From top clockwise, in box: Lemon Cardamom, Michigan Blueberry, Tawny Port Raisin and Blood Orange. All photography by Corey Lugg | THE NIBBLE.
Product Reviews / Main Nibbles / Chocolate
America's Boutique Chocolatiers:
There is a real Patricia behind these chocolates. She and her husband Paul worked as school psychologists for thirty years, proving that they're more than tough enough to work with as temperamental a material as chocolate. With training at The French Pastry School under her belt, support from neighbors, and the necessary municipal and county permits firmly in hand, the couple built a commercial chocolate kitchen in the lower level of their home in Grand Haven, Michigan.
Patty Christopher has been turning out chocolates ever since, but these aren't just any old confections, as you can see from the photos. They are carefully decorated, well-conceived examples of the chocolatier's art—one might think she'd been an artist rather than a mental health professional.
Consider Patricia's Coconut piece. White chocolate is combined with coconut milk, coconut rum and shredded coconut, then covered in dark chocolate; on top is a fanciful pattern of circles large and small—they look like happy bubbles. (You can see the more than two dozen stunning choices on the company website.)
If you prefer something more up-to-date, there's an Earl Grey Tea chocolate, in which the tea is infused in a blend of milk and dark chocolates and covered with dark chocolate. The circle and square design motif is Grecian, in white and Aegean blue.
Among Patty's newest creations is a dark chocolate-enrobed ganache containing puréed lemon and green cardamom (shown in the photo at the top of the page with the yellow script "L"). Talk about exotic!
Most of this business is wholesale; Patty sells to a very limited number of boutiques in the Midwest. There's no retail store and no online ordering. You must call or e-mail to order, but doing so is more than worth any minimal extra effort.
Above, a tribute to the home state, Michigan Blueberry: dried Michigan blueberries, Maine wild blueberry wine, vanilla bean and cream in dark chocolate. Snuggling behind is Passion Fruit Mango, passion fruit and mango infused in a creamy milk chocolate caramel and dipped in dark chocolate, decorated with a heart.

All I have right now is an electric drier outlet thats not the same plug configuration needed for the MM180. So I bought a 6 10gauge 30 amp drier cord for a pig tail, connected the power outlet (wall receptacle) to it that the welding shop told me to use, My question is: is this all I need, to then plug in the 25 8/3 extension cord for my MM180 ? The MM180 cord is 12/3
Will this be safe to use..

Electric Question
The short answer to your question is: yes, it is safe.
The long answer: The friction connectors are susceptible to loosening and making a poor contact. Inspect your connectors regularly (under load, if possible) for signs of heat. Other than that, go on ahead.
Good luck.Triggerman

My first career was as an industrial and commercial electrician. If the dryer receptical was all I had; that's exactly how I would do it. How ever, if access to the panel wasn't too much hassle, I would make a dedicated welder outlet. Perhaps a local electrician would trade out the work for some welding. Just my 2c.

ANDERSON, Ind. – Criminal charges including Medicaid fraud and corrupt business influence were filed Tuesday against the unlicensed owner of Anderson Dental Center Inc., three dentists who practiced at the center and four of its employees, Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller announced today.
The criminal charges filed in Madison County Circuit Court 6 allege that Anderson Dental Center owner Sally Metzner and her co-defendants engaged in a scheme to submit false and inflated claims for payment of dental services to the Indiana Medicaid program, sometimes using forged documents, in order to receive more Medicaid reimbursement than they were due.
"The Medicaid program funds dental care for Indiana's neediest citizens, but if providers intentionally overbill Medicaid causing tax dollars to be wrongly paid out then all Indiana taxpayers are the victims. The allegation here is that these defendants defrauded Medicaid so brazenly and repeatedly in operating their practice that it cannot be attributed to mistake or paperwork errors," Attorney General Zoeller said. The defendants are facing several Class C and D felony charges.
Sally Metzner, 57, Anderson, the unlicensed owner of Anderson Dental Center Inc., is charged with two counts of corrupt business influence (also known as racketeering) as a Class C felony. Metzner also is charged with money laundering, Medicaid fraud, theft, forgery and practicing dentistry without a license.
Three dentists who treated patients at the practice are all charged with corrupt business influence, money laundering, Medicaid fraud and theft:
Four other office employees are charged with corrupt business influence:
A fifth office employee, Deborah R. Davis, 55, Middletown, is charged with prescription drug fraud only.
The case was investigated by the Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU) assisted by the U.S. Health and Human Services' Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG), the FBI and the Internal Revenue Service and under the authority of the Madison County Prosecuting Attorney's Office. A probable cause affidavit filed in Madison County Circuit Court 6 with the charges alleges that since 2006, Metzner and her accomplices engaged in an illegal scheme to trigger and receive overpayments from Medicaid -- funds that they then allegedly converted for their own personal use or invested back into the Anderson Dental Center, located at 1537 S. Scatterfield Road, Anderson.
The affidavit alleges the defendants accomplished this scheme by submitting billings to Medicaid for services they did not provide, exaggerating or "upcoding" the type of services rendered to receive a larger reimbursement than is allowable, submitting claims for work performed by dentists who were not authorized Medicaid providers, submitting claims for work purportedly performed by another dentist after she no longer worked at the office, and forging signatures of dentists who no longer worked at the practice onto a variety of forms submitted to the Medicaid office.
Among the allegations: Routine claims for nitrous oxide that should have been billed to Medicaid for approximately $30 each were instead fraudulently submitted as a more expensive procedure, "deep sedation," billed for approximately $125 each, with the defendants recovering an ineligible reimbursement and pocketing the difference. The affidavit alleges it was physically impossible for Anderson Dental Center to have performed deep sedation procedures on patients since it lacked the equipment to do so.
According to the affidavit, the fraudulent billing at the Anderson Dental Center allegedly continued even after authorities had executed search warrants at the office. The joint investigation by the Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU),federal investigators and local authorities included warrant searches of the Anderson Dental Clinic on three occasions, review of Medicaid claims, interviews with employees and co-defendants and information from local pharmacies.
Estimated loss to the Medicaid program in ineligible payments to Anderson Dental Center is greater than $300,000, the affidavit alleges.
Now that criminal charges have been filed, Madison County Circuit Court 6 has set bond amounts for the defendants and initial court appearances will be scheduled in coming days. Under the authority of Madison County Prosecuting Attorney Rodney Cummings who approved the referral of the case, the Indiana Attorney General's Office is participating in filing the charges and prosecuting the defendants, under a statute designed for such situations.
All defendants charged with criminal offenses are innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt in a court of law. A conviction for a Class C felony would carry a potential sentence of two to eight years in prison, while a conviction for a Class D felony would carry a potential sentence of up to three years in prison.
Indiana law prohibits persons who are not licensed dentists from owning dental clinics. Metzner, the owner, is unlicensed. On December 6, 2013, the State Board of Dentistry issued a cease and desist order against Metzner, prohibiting her from engaging in the unlicensed practice of dentistry and ordering her to discontinue dental services at the office. The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) has also terminated the Medicaid provider status of dentist Paul Pangallo and indefinitely suspended payments for dentist Jeffrey Rich which means they cannot receive Medicaid compensation although they can still practice dentistry.
In a separate case arising from the same joint investigation, Metzner agreed in U.S. District Court to plead guilty to federal criminal charges of income tax evasion for an unpaid tax of $856,389.11. She will be sentenced April 3 in the federal case. The Medicaid fraud and racketeering charges in state court are separate counts under state, not federal law, and can proceed irrespective of the federal plea agreement.
Attorney General Zoeller thanked Investigator Diane Hedges of the AG's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit for her efforts investigating the case.
NOTE: The list of defendants, charges and probable cause affidavit filed in Madison County Circuit Court 6 are attached.

OREO Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, divided
1 (8 ounce) package
PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
2 (8 ounce) packages
BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, melted
crowd pleaser. everyone always begs for these but i recommend the following:
1. don't use double stuf oreos (they fall apart, it's messy, just don't try it)
2. you can subsitute almond bark for the outer coating, it's delicious.
3. the chocolate outer coating is really really hard to put on the oreo balls so first make sure that you CHILL the balls. then melt the chocolate on low heat or microwave and my method of dipping (so that the balls wouldn't fall apart and get the chocolate all dirty) was to take two spoons and kind of roll it around / spoon chocolate onto the ball.
(that's because the toothpick into an oreo ball sometimes causes the entire thing to fall apart)
Unless you plan on serving them directly from the refridgerator, then skip these all together. Just 5 minutes on the table warms these up making them really gross inside and practically in-edible

I have been making these Oreo Truffles for years, and have used all different flavors of sandwich cookies...from Nutter Butter to Coffee & Cream Oreos. Each is delicious. My favorite batch is the one where I add crushed BUTTERFINGER to the Peanutbutter Oreo cookie mixture. I use about 2-3 regular sized candy bars to 1 pkg Oreos. There are so many options with this recipe...
Good recipe - easy to follow and ingredients are non-threatening/easy to find.
A word to the wise. I'm not great with baking that requires complete attention. This does! The part where you cover you Oreo "meatball" in chocolate.
A few hints: as you melt the chocolate, stir constantly and stop as soon as all of the stuff is melted - even a smidge before you think it's totally done. Use a slotted spoon and drop the cookie in and pour the chocolate over it. Move quickly or else the chocolate cools and it's like walking in quicksand.
The toothpick thing didn't work for me and was discouraging in the beginning - despite chilling the stuff it didn't stay together and "muddied" the chocolate. The spoon method was much, much better.
Excellent! I followed the advice to crush cookies in the processor AND then add the cream cheese via the same way. You'll know it's well blended when the whole cookie mixture turns into a big blob...it won't be crumbly at all. I also chilled the dough for about 15 min before rolling. I then chilled the balls (in the freezer) for about 10 min while I melted the chocolate. I dipped 1/2 the batch at at time & then melted the remaining 1/2 of chocolate for the 2nd tray of balls. YUMMY.
I got this recipe for "Oreo Balls" at my cooking club cookie exchange last year and have had HUGE success with them. I made them for my hubby's company picnic and they were so well received that I had people actually asking if they could pay me to make them for their families for the holidays! The recipe I have is the same as this except it calls for refrigerating the scooped balls for 1 hour before dippings, and also calls for dipping half of them in milk chocolate and half in white chocolate, then drizzling the opposite flavor over the top. (a slotted spoon works really well for both dipping and drizzling) An A+ recipe for sure!
These are great - and a hit at the party! Really easy to make - I think the dipping worked well with using a teaspoon and fork - resting the truffle on the fork and using the spoon to pour the chocolate over. I think the trick is to try and handle the truffle as little as possible and trying to keep them at the tip of the fork so that you can slide the fork out without having to touch the truffle when putting it back on the wax paper. Chilling them for at least an hour helped (I think mine chilled for a little longer than an hour) and I kept them on wax paper on a metal cookie sheet to help keep them cool while I was dipping. My next ones I'll try with a different cookie - probably nutter butters since after telling guests about this version, I got requests to make them next time with the peanut butter cookies! I got many compliments so definitely making again :)
They are rich, so you can't have too many of these at one time - but maybe that's a good thing!
These guys are awsome, and great for x-mas gifts. To make the chocolate coating look really gourmet, melt 18 oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips or baking squares with 2 oz of paraffin wax(I use gulf wax found in canning section) and coat as specified in this recipe. I used a whole package of double stuff mint oreos and they were awesome. My husband went crazy over them. Next I will try nutter butter cookies.

Where is Timmy hiding his front paws? Is that them tucked up under his chin?
What a cutie!
I disapprove of anyone who doesn't agree that he's a cutie!
Who could fail to surrender their possessions to him when he's that cute?!
Fleetie: The reason you can't see his front paws is that he is carrying Concealed Weapons. He has to defend his territory and himself. Too often he has been scooped up by indentured servants for snorgling purposes. This, of course, offends his bunny sensibilities.
or.....he's an alien
That's our Timmy!!! He has proven to be a rather friendly sort of space alien...
where are his front paws? i didnt even notice
If he dyed his head hair black, he'd look a bit like Robert Smith from The Cure!
"Oh, Binky-binky-binky-binky-
Here you are,
-Bunny-rabbit girl..."
Whenever I want to smile, I come to your site. I had a little mini-lop for nearly 8 years before he passed away. I miss him and it's been 15 years...sigh. My grandkids just LOVE this place!
seems fair...
Uh, that kind of limits us, you know. Of course, you know. That's why you said it!
Kinda looks like somebunny woke up on the total disapproval side of the bed, too.
The only appropriate response to this declaration is immediate flight from the room -- terrified screaming is optional.
Oh my goodness - I am in love!
All there is on the line are doots!
... the grumpy young bun :-)
This is an mini-Einstein bun, very intelligent, very disapproving, scientifically proofed.
Timmy's attitude reminds me of the old Johnny Cash-song... 'Walk the Line'...
Hi, TimmyBunny. I'm TimmyBear. You may have everything, including what's on the line.

This story was updated at 7:10 p.m. Aug. 20, 2013.
For more than a year, representatives of the National Labor College have been trying to sell the 47-acre campus near the Capital Beltway along New Hampshire Avenue.
The college hopes to move to a smaller space in downtown Silver Spring. With more students taking online courses, it has lessened the need for physical classrooms.
In June, leaders of Reid Temple African Methodist Episcopal Church thought they had a fairly solid deal to buy the campus in partnership with the Housing Opportunities Commission of Montgomery County, an affordable housing group.
Reid Temple planned a new church building as well as affordable housing.
"We were really close," said the Rev. Loxley O'Connor, director of business and financial affairs for the church. Reid Temple is one of the largest churches in the nation with more than 13,000 members in Silver Spring and Glenn Dale. "We were down to a short list of items that needed to be resolved."
But church officials then were told by Labor College representatives that the housing commission had pulled out, he said. Reid Temple worked on a deal to buy the property by itself, but the church was told in late June that the college was putting the property back on the market, O'Connor said.
"We were disappointed," O'Connor said. "We heard from several sources that the deal was pulled apart by a few Montgomery County Council members who opposed having a church take ownership."
He said those sources came from both the commission and college, as well as other places, but he did not know of a specific council member who expressed opposition.
The college, which was founded by the AFL-CIO about four decades ago, had signed a letter of intent, which anticipated a formal contract to sell the campus to Reid Temple and the HOC would be completed in June. But "just as the negotiations over the terms of the contract were nearing completion," commission officials decided to withdraw from the deal, said Lara L. Manzione, vice president for marketing and communications of the college.
The executive committee of college's board of trustees "reviewed the matter and opted to return the property to market," Manzione said. "The college subsequently signed on with real estate broker CBRE to undertake a new marketing campaign to sell the campus property."
She said she was not in contact with any Montgomery council members and had "no idea what they think about the sale of the property."
Montgomery County Council member Valerie Ervin (D-Dist. 5) of Silver Spring, a former dean of the labor college, said Tuesday that she was asked by County Executive Isiah Leggett's office to meet with representatives of the labor college and housing agency earlier this year. She did so and said she raised questions over whether a sale to Reid Temple and the county agency was the best use of the property, especially since funds from a quasi-public agency would be used, and if the land was owned by a church, it would be exempt from property taxes.
"All I did was raise questions," Ervin said. "The HOC board voted to shut it down…. I don't have the power or authority to shut down anything."
Adam Fogel, chief of staff for County Council President Nancy Navarro (D-Dist. 4) of Silver Spring, said that Navarro has not been involved in the matter.
Patrick Lacefield, a spokesman for the county, said he did not have any information on the situation.
Reid Temple is still interested in the campus but wanted to get the matter of any political opposition in the open to clear it up, O'Connor said.
"We still want to complete the transaction without the interference of those who have their own political agenda," he said.
The church is also evaluating whether to rebid on the property or pursue some similar properties, and has retained Scheer Partners to evaluate options, O'Connor said.
"We have seen a great expansion of our ministry and need a larger location," he said.
The Labor College is aware that Reid Temple has expressed a continued interest in purchasing the property, Manzione said.
"Should they submit a formal bid to be the sole purchaser, we will afford it every consideration, just as we will to other bona fide offers to buy the property," she said.
During a recent meeting, the Montgomery County Planning Board reviewed some proposed master plan guidelines for that area of Silver Spring. Reid Temple's proposal would fit those guidelines well and provide an excellent economic redevelopment plan, O'Connor said.
"We believe we are uniquely positioned to fulfill the stated requirements contemplated in the latest Montgomery County Planning Board proposal," he said.
The college land, which includes dorms, classrooms, offices and a conference center, was valued by the state Department of Assessments and Taxation in 2013 at about $45 million. Once owned by a Roman Catholic religious order, the Xaverian Brothers, the AFL-CIO purchased the property in 1971 and formally dedicated the George Meany Center for Labor Studies and began offering degree programs for union members in affiliation with Antioch College in 1974, according to its website.
The college later became an independent degree-granting institution and its name was changed to the George Meany Center for Labor Studies — the National Labor College. It has been accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education since 2004.
Enrollment at the college in fall 2012 was 618 students, with 76 graduates that year. It offers bachelor's degrees in business administration, labor studies and union leadership, among others, and has been offering more online courses in recent years.
Since relisting the campus, some 34 entities have signed non-disclosure agreements allowing them to review property documents and the college has led tours of the campus for many prospective buyers, Manzione said.
Officials from Montgomery College and Georgetown University were among those who toured the campus last year.
A Montgomery College official could not be reached for comment.
Stacy Kerr, a spokeswoman for Georgetown, said the university is looking for its "next 100 acres" and is eyeing sites such as land in northwest Washington formerly occupied by the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, which moved to Bethesda.
"We are still assessing what we need," Kerr said. "That doesn't mean we wouldn't be open to having conversations [about the Labor College site]. But those would be very preliminary."

The brims are made of plastic rescued from the packaging for a dress shirt. Other possible sources are plastic spiral notebook covers (not the cardboard ones, though) or blister packaging if the product is big enough to have about 6" x 4" of flat (or gently curved) plastic. The smaller brim would probably fit on a plastic milk or juice jug.
The orange one has a zipper on the crown under which you can put any kind of Sekrit Surprize. The zipper was part of the neckline of the original shirt, which I cut to fit. I also like to put pockets on the crown, as I did with the brown one.
This tutorial shows the construction of the brown hat as I'd already made the orange one. However, the technique is almost exactly the same for both, just the pieces are slightly different sizes.
I wish I could sew but many of my gender is missing that gene.
Good instructable.
Shouldn't the carpenter's rule be stated "measure twice and cut once"?
I made me one from some awesome fabric I just *had* to have when I saw it in the store. I think I'm going to redo my chuckies in the same stuff. lining is small yellow checks
I also made one for my brother and one for my daughter.
the green one was heavy woven stuff that was a bit hard to work with, the blue a shirt my daughter couldn't wear because ithe fabric was uncomfortable on her skin, ok as a hat though! That fabric forced me to use interfacing for the first time, as it was a bit light and floppy for a hat on it's own.

Eight barb styles are offered to provide designers the widest range of desired assembly
forces, tensile resistance and blow-off resistance – all without the need for clamps. Whether you need medical
grade tube fittings or connectors for industrial applications, Nordson MEDICAL has the largest selection in the industry!
Nordson MEDICAL's new line of clamps feature a state-of-the-art design allowing for easy operation, and our latest quick connects fit 3/8" and 1/2" tubing sizes and offer a large ergonomic locking button for easier handling and connection. We are also now offering our popular bag ports made with RENOLIT SOLMED Granuflex 4301 resin. These products demonstrate lower leachable levels and high purity.
Nordson MEDICAL's stopcocks are designed to easily control the flow of a liquid or gas through the use of an on/off diverter, and are offered in three basic configurations – 1-way, 3-way, and 4-way. These chemically resistant stopcocks are available as standard or high flow and are offered in polycarbonate, PEI and nylon with HDPE diverters. FC Series stopcocks bring efficiency, convenience, and practicality to your tubing applications and are 510(k) cleared.
PQC Series products are produced in acetal and polypropylene in four configurations – threaded, inline straight, elbows and panel mounts. These quick connectors bring performance and convenience to your tubing applications. Offered in small tubing sizes to fit 1/8" (3.2 mm) and 1/4" (6.4 mm) ID tubing, the 3200 Series triple barb style works well with semi-rigid tubing.
Nordson MEDICAL is your single source for fluid management components, offering a broad range of Value Plastics products that include Tuohy Borst adapters, luers, tube-to-tube fittings, check valves, custom components, and assembly services. Tuohy Borst adapters are available in convenient bag sizes of 100 and 25 with larger sizes attainable on request. With lower minimum order quantities, complete product and regulatory information readily available online, and thousands of components in stock and ready to ship, Nordson MEDICAL's service and reliability are here to suit your needs.
With billions of dollars in contracts at stake, medical device manufacturers are pushing steadfast to conform to ISO 13485 regulatory requirements. Despite its widespread commercial implications, the popular standard is squarely focused on improving patient safety.
Nordson MEDICAL will perform a comprehensive assessment of the small bore connectors that you currently utilize in your application and then we will provide you with a consultative report on how your business could be impacted by the upcoming standards. This report will include a projected standardization timeframe, the ISO sub-group that your parts fit into, a list of parts affected as well as a list of standard conforming small bore connector solutions going forward and a transition plan for ISO 80369 conformance.
As the leading global fluid management component manufacturer, Nordson MEDICAL is excited to sponsor this webinar addressing the details surrounding the new ISO 80369 standards that will soon be implemented in the component manufacturing industry, specifically for IV, breathing systems, enteral, urethral, cuff inflation, and neuraxial applications.
The development of these standards for incompatible connectors will reduce the occurrence of misconnections caused by the inadvertent connection of incorrect systems. Compliance with ISO 80369 standards may require new designs, parts, and moldings for specific applications, and Nordson MEDICAL will discuss the implications of these changes.
The expert in this webinar will outline everything you need to know about ISO 80369 standards. Learn why the industry needs these standards, what the standards are, how the industry will be affected, when the standards will come into effect, and how to stay up-to-date on ISO 80369 news.
6 Questions to Ask Your Fluid-Management Component Supplier
A one-stop-shop fluid management component supplier assures quality, streamlines processes, and limits costs. To be certain you receive the preeminent and safest single-use component, take time to evaluate your fluid-management supplier or a supplier under consideration by asking 6 important questions.
The luer connector has been one of the most common types of small-bore connectors used in hospitals and other healthcare facilities to link or join medical devices, components and accessories for the purpose of delivering fluids or gases. But just as the luer's universal design has allowed for ease of use in diverse patient care applications, so too has it made possible the inadvertent connection of wrong systems with unfortunate consequences to patients. An international effort has begun to develop and implement standards for non-interchangeable connectors for small bore medical connectors to prevent tubing misconnections and consequently reduce patient injuries and deaths. Nordson MEDICAL is actively participating in the development of these standards and is keeping the latest news on our website.
Nordson MEDICAL, a premier supplier of precision plastic components, introduces a cost efficient needlefree swabable valve series featuring higher flow rates, low priming volumes, and a straight through design for unobstructed flow. Designed for the injection and aspiration of fluids, particularly for IV applications, urology, blood processing, cardiology, pharma, and disposable biopharm, the hermetic septum seal reduces the risk of biofilm formation and contamination in an industry where infection is a particular concern. These valves are available in widely-used polycarbonate and copolyester materials, and are compatible with all industry standard luer syringes and connectors, validating them as the ideal component solution for the OEM market. Nordson MEDICAL's needlefree swabable valves' normally closed system negates the need for caps in order to reduce the risk of infection. Not made with natural rubber latex or DEHP, the materials are gamma radiation stable and EtO compatible for sterilization.
A more robust alternative for bioprocessing needs, the RQC Series offers a cost effective solution for flexible tubing connections in single use systems. The connector set features a user-friendly interface that includes a large button, making it easy to connect and disconnect the components. The optional, integral, and easy to use locking feature gives you peace of mind knowing your connection is secure. The RQC Series also includes caps and plugs to support sterilization, and being available in widely used polypropylene and polycarbonate materials, these connectors are compatible with most industry standard quick connects. The single barb open flow design provides security and mitigates flow path obstruction. No longer do you have to worry about your tubing connection and the transfer of valuable fluids!
The material is resistant to chemicals and plasticizers found in flexible tubing and provides antimicrobial capabilities against a variety of microorganisms commonly found in healthcare facilities as tested by JIS Z 2801 protocol. Nordson MEDICAL's luer fittings are part of a standardized system of small-scale tubing connectors used to make secure leak-proof unions in medical devices and laboratory instruments. Available in the FTLL230-CM550 and MTLL230-CM550 luers, the antimicrobial material will give you peace-of-mind knowing you have a secure connection, with sanitary fittings fighting against harmful microbes. Nordson MEDICAL will add additional parts with the antimicrobial resin based upon customer demand. Please contact your sales representative to discuss further.
SCV Series barbed check valves were developed to provide a reliable mechanical connection and simplify tubing assemblies that often require multiple parts needed for in-line check valves. Available in medical grade materials and multiple barb sizes the valves feature more precise, lower crack pressures, higher flow rates, low priming volume, air bubble mitigation during priming and operate in any spatial orientation.
The check valves feature 3/32" (2.4 mm) and 1/8" (3.2 mm) single barb ends in barb to barb straight through, reducing and barb to male/female luer configurations. All check valves feature DEHP- and latex-free silicone diaphragms and all materials of construction satisfy USP Class VI and ISO 10993 criteria.
The luer is a standard tubing connector prevalent in medical devices largely due to its ease of use and affordable nature. Unfortunately, however, the common use of this standard design has resulted in the risk of tubing misconnections within healthcare environments. Alternatives to these fittings have therefore begun to increase in popularity.
The BPL Series of connectors incorporates a quarter-turn design that is commonly used in blood pressure applications – particularly in blood pressure cuffs. Features such as Nordson MEDICAL's patented 10-point grip coupled with the BPL's winged male fitting provide for top-of-the-line ergonomics, and the snap-on connection presents the end user with confidence that a secure fit has been made. These attributes can be crucial in healthcare environments due to hindrances such as dark rooms, baggy rubber gloves, and the potential for situations that don't allow time for fumbling.
Nordson MEDICAL
announces the PharmaLok™ Series – a new line of ergonomic, single-use sanitary
clamps for securing fittings to bag ports and filters in the biopharmaceutical
PharmaLok clamps provide a significant advancement for the industry, as a number of existing solutions either require tools for closure or consist of multiple components, which turns what should be a simple operation into a difficult and awkward process.
Nordson MEDICAL announces that they have signed a new distributor, John Morris Scientific Pty Ltd (JMS), to strengthen their presence in Australia and New Zealand.
Nordson MEDICAL manufactures innovative, high-quality fluid fittings and other fluid management components used with the flexible tubing employed in many healthcare, biopharmaceutical, and industrial applications. After serving more than 100 Oceania companies directly from their factory in Colorado, Nordson MEDICAL is pleased to be able to provide these customers with local service from 12 JMS offices throughout the region.
Nordson MEDICAL's new high tech series of bag ports offers a variety of benefits new to the biopharmaceutical industry through
a combination of Value Pharma™ resin and a unique design. Value Pharma™ resin
holds credentials that many manufacturers deem fundamental, such as animal
derivative free qualification, USP Class VI certification, and the guarantee of
heat sealing and conformance with polyethylene bags. The resin then goes even
further to provide a strong, 24-hour resistance to alcohol stress cracking.
Their unique design sets these new ports apart from existing solutions.
They not only conform with frequently utilized tubing sizes from 1/8" (3.2 mm) to 1" (25.4 mm), but they are
also designed to ASME and BPE ferrule specifications, allowing them to work with leading industry fittings, filters and other devices. However, the most notable of the bag ports' specifications are those that are new to the industry – the parabolic lead and the alignment ribs. These two features, respectively, reduce the amount of time it takes to drain a bag by 24 percent and improve flow dynamics through the port.
Nordson MEDICAL is pleased to announce the immediate availability of their latest precision fluid management component catalog, Vol. 26. The new catalog contains detailed information on over 4,000 off-the-shelf parts as well as several new products, including the RQC Series of quick connect fittings and a new innovative line of single-use sanitary clamps – the Pharmalok Series.
Selecting from thousands of tubing connectors can be an unforeseen hindrance on speed to market – a competitive edge on which companies thrive. Therefore, to increase ease of use and efficiency, Nordson MEDICAL has chosen to make two catalog formats available to end users. For those more comfortable with solid, dependable ink, the printed desktop version will be available. For a deeper level of interaction with technical details and commercial availability, the new catalog will also be provided in an interactive, electronic format located on Nordson MEDICAL's website. With the click of a button, customers can now:

The wealthy New York private equity company planning to buy Cedar Fair wants everyone to know it loves roller coasters.
Apollo Management, which has said almost nothing publicly about its offer to acquire Cedar Fair, issued a statement Monday assuring customers at Cedar Point and other Cedar Fair amusement parks that it respects the parks.
"We look forward to working closely with Cedar Fair's talented management team and employees to foster continued growth and enhance the company's reputation as a leading operator of family amusement parks," the company said in its two-sentence statement. "Apollo is firmly committed to Cedar Fair's amusement parks and making them growth engines for their communities while preserving each park's unique local heritage."
The company's spokeswoman had nothing to add, but Stacy Frole, Cedar Fair's director of investor relations, noted Monday that the statement fits with earlier promises Apollo would concentrate on refinancing Cedar Fair's debt but leave Cedar Fair CEO Dick Kinzel and his management team in charge of running the amusement park chain.
"Obviously, we have a lot of local customers who appreciate the uniqueness of our own home park," Frole said.
Frole also provided additional information on Cedar Fair's "go shop" period, the 40-day period in which Cedar Fair is allowed to seek other offers to find out if unitholders can obtain a better deal. The go-shop period expires Jan. 25.
Cedar Fair hasn't commented on its discussions with other possible suitors, but Frole said if Cedar Fair received a better offer, it would make that offer public.
"If we were to receive a superior proposal, we would make that announcement," Frole said.
Frole said Cedar Fair's financial advisors, Rothschild Inc. and Guggenheim Securities, are in charge of contacting other companies about a possible offer.
"We wouldn't comment on who we have spoken to," she said.
Cedar Fair's units have traded for the last few days above the $11.50 Apollo has offered to unitholders. It closed Monday at $11.98 per unit.
