Bobby Unser became a three-time winner of the Indianapolis 500, but this race would best be remembered for the soap opera drama that followed. The Monday after the race officials ruled that Unser had gained an illegal advantage by passing cars while exiting the pits and demoted him one spot, making Mario Andretti the winner. After a litany of protests and appeals, Unser's win was reinstated on October 9th.

The benefits from metal-to-plastic part conversion cuts across all parts of the health-care industry, from device makers, doctors, hospitals and patients, according to Jay Haverstraw of PMC LLC. "Its really predominately cost drivers, but theres a bunch of side benefits to the other players in the food chain, so to speak," said Haverstraw, technical sales manager at PMC, a Cincinnati-based injection molder, in a recent presentation at the Plastics in Medical Devices 2012 conference in Westlake. Founded in 1929, PMC is an injection molder and contract manufacturer that serves the medical, commercial electronics and transportation markets. The Plastics News-sponsored conference was held June 11-13.

"The Office" is up for a transfer to China.
"We are about to start work on developing a Chinese 'The Office.' How cool is that?" show co-creator Ricky Gervais wrote on his blog recently.
In addition to the original British "mockumentary," there are versions in the U.S., France, Germany, Chile, Israel and the Canadian province of Quebec.
"60 Minutes" Profile: Ricky Gervais
The show that mines office politics and corporate ineptitude for its laughs might face new challenges in China, where government censors tightly control media content.
Gervais joked on his blog the show might not air if Beijing sees his latest project, "An Idiot Abroad," where he sends a culturally clueless friend on a trip around the world.
Gervais did not give any clues about the timing of the Chinese show but the project appeared to be in the early stages. A spokeswoman for BBC Worldwide, the broadcaster's commercial arm which licensed some international versions of the show, said there was "no deal in place, no broadcaster, no production company."
She spoke on condition of anonymity in line with corporate policy.
"The Office" May Open Chinese Branch

text: Washington Federal Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. The next regional bank to consider, Washington Federal ( WFSL), operates in the Pacific Northwest and other areas of the West. Its shares are down a modest 3% so far this year despite incrementally growing profits over the last four quarters. A small miss of a penny per share against analyst estimates sent shares lower, but the stock has recovered nicely at the end of June and early July on hopes of a strong quarter. Community banks are typically valued based on some multiple of book value. During stable economic times, it was not uncommon for shares of a community bank to change hands at a price of 1.5 times book value or more. In the wake of the financial crisis, valuation metrics have changed. Today Washington Federal trades for 1 times book value. As for earnings, the average Wall Street estimate is for the company to make a profit of 97 cents per share for the year ending Sept. 30. In the following year, analysts have earnings growing by 35% to $1.31 per share. Those profits ultimately increase book value. For the stock to be valued at the same 1 times book value, share price must increase as profits are generated, making Washington Federal an intriguing buy today. >>Practice your stock trading strategies and win cash in our stock game.

Why did Lehman fail?
an internal Fed team assigned to value Lehman's collateral reached a preliminary finding that the firm was narrowly solvent and the Fed could have justified a loan. But everyone was too busy to listen, and the report was never delivered to Mr. Geithner, Mr. Bernanke or Mr. Paulson. This is consistent with Professor Ball's findings.

Talk:Acute pancreatitis
|Ideal sources for Wikipedia's health content are defined in the guideline Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine) and are typically review articles. Here are links to possibly useful sources of information about Acute pancreatitis.
|WikiProject Medicine
|(Rated B-class, Mid-importance)
Bowel Rest[edit]
I feel that this section is quite misleading not inline with current evidence or bsg guidance. Currently early feeding is preferred. See BSG guidline re:pancreatitis 2005 SN R (talk) 22:32, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
I changed the text which implied that endoscopy is a treatment. It's a diagnostic procedure. Although useful to help figure out what's going on, endoscopy can actually trigger pancreatitis attacks.
The ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) referred to later in the article is an procedure that utilizes endoscopy, but its not endoscopy. By comparison, although you might use a flashlight to change a lightbulb in a dark closet, you wouldn't say that the flashlight changed the lightbulb.
I replaced endoscopy with laparoscopy.
A specific laparoscopic treatment I know of has been used in the last decade by Dr. Peter Banks (Past President of the American Pancreatic Association, President of the International Association of Pancreatology, Past Chair of the Pancreatic Disorders Section of the American Gastroenterological Association, etc.) at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. It involves making an incision in the sphincter of Oddi so that pancreatic secretions enter the descending duodenum more easily rather than accumulating and causing trouble. -- House of Scandal 14:11, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- What is the source of your assertion? Some advocate early ERCP to establish whether gallstone disease is the cause of the pancreatitis. The use of sphincterotomy should be supported with citations. Laparoscopy is not useful unless for the specific purpose of draining a pseudocyst. JFW | T@lk 21:29, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
I mentioned the sphincterotomy proceedure used by Banks here rather than in the article because I don't have citations regarding it, only personal experience. Statements made in talk pages don't need citations and without citations may be weighed accordingly.
Regarding the statement that "Laparoscopy is not useful unless for the specific purpose of draining a pseudocyst", please note:
Diagnostic laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows the visual examination of intra abdominal organs in order to detect pathology. The video image of the liver, stomach, intestines, gallbladder, spleen, peritoneum, and pelvic organs can be viewed on a monitor after insertion of a telescope into the abdomen. Manipulation and biopsy of the viscera is possible through additional ports.[1]
Heres's another description:
Diagnostic laparoscopy is a procedure that allows a health care provider to look directly at the contents of a patient's abdomen or pelvis, including the fallopian tubes, ovaries, uterus, small bowel, large bowel, appendix, liver, and gallbladder. The purpose of this examination is to actually see if a problem exists that has not been found with noninvasive tests. Inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis), appendix (appendicitis), pelvic organs (pelvic inflammatory disease), or tumors of the ovaries may be diagnosed laparoscopically.[2]
Use of a search engine for "Diagnostic Laparoscopy" and similar words will return many thousands of results.
I may have missed your point if your point was that laparoscopy shouldn't be mentioned as a treatment option. My concern was that endoscopy was listed as a treatment option and looking at something isn't treatment. Laparoscopy, on the other hand, may involve cutting, etc.
However, note that there are a number of pancreatitis treatment proceedures besides the draining of a pseudocyst you mentioned and the sphincterotomy I mentioned. The most obvious of these is cholecystectomy. Based on that, the intro seems to still make sense.--House of Scandal 04:26, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
PMID 12094843 - a useful review of blood tests. JFW | T@lk 21:29, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
"Prophylactic antimicrobials should not be used." is bit of a strong statement. See edits.
I removed wrongdiagnosis.com as the primary reference for epidemiology. This is an unreliable site. In fact, I was unable to corrobate the USA incidence data. I added some well-established data from Europe, which is not much different.
I removed completely the claims re. prevalence. For an acute medical condition, prevalence is a completely meaningless number. This would indicate the number of people in the population presently suffering from acute pancreatitis. Prevalence becomes relevant only in more chronic conditions. JFW | T@lk 14:14, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
use of mepedrine[edit]
The information in this article concerning use of meperidine/pethidine/demerol is outdated, and contradicts information in the article on the drug, particularly regarding antispasmodic effects. In the U.S., use of demerol is actively discouraged. From what I've been able to gather, hydromorphone is commonly used to treat the pain associated with acute pancreatitis. Suspect other infomation in the article is dated as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 15:00, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
Use of hydromorphone--from a survivor[edit]
My personal experience in pain relief for hemorrhagic pancreatits was that I was put on a 100 mcg Fentanyl patch and, following frequent IV injections of 2mg hydromorphine, a dispensing pump. Alhtough I had myself convinced that I was only using the hydromorphine for euphoria, it was because the Fentanyl would mask the pain well past the point that dependent cravings set in. It was only about a year later, on my initial attempt to stop Fentanyl (hydromorphone having been stopped six months earlier) that I discovered how much pain I was really in. In my case, due to a large dose following a rupture in a transplanted kidney, morphine was as effective as water. The main benefit I see to the Fentanyl/hydromorphone combination is that either can be stopped without withdrawal symptoms if the other is continued, and Fentanyl is probably more conducive to the weaning process. In my case I found that the hydromorphone caused hallucinations and vivid dreams which I could not distinguish from reality, as well as short periods of altered reality that I did not recognize when interacting with others: Fentanyl had no such effect.
Causes Section Needs Improvement[edit]
I do not have enough background to edit this article, but as a user I observe that the "Causes" section is of very poor quality. In particular:
The cause listed as the sole "Major Cause" is a side effect of the diabetes drug Byetta. Reading the article, this seems a decidedly uncommon cause to me. The "Causes by demographic" section notes that for adults in Western countries 85% of cases are caused by gallstones and alcoholism, yet neither of these causes is listed in either the "Major Causes" or "Minor Causes" sections.
It would be good if someone with expertise would clean up this section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Galletto (talk • contribs) 18:00, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
FYI, I have undone an edit to the "Major Causes" section that was done five days ago. That edit deleted a listing of several major causes and left only the "Byetta" paragraph. While this list I restored is not high quality prose, it is far more informative that what was left. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Galletto (talk • contribs) 18:12, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
- I agree with the above. In my opinion, Byetta should not start the "Major Causes" as it is a minor cause. Additionally, Byetta should probably just be lumped into the Drugs category of the mnemonic that is given. Lastly, I think that it would be helpful if the most common causes (Gallstones, ethanol, ERCP, Drug-related, hypertriglyceridemia, etc.) had percentages given with them to give better context. I will get to this soon if no one else beats me to it. Thoughts? justin.kirkham (talk) 23:52, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
- The war within describes research on how the disease/damage develops but may be more suitable for the Pathogenesis section. - Rod57 (talk) 03:29, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
Removed the following from ERCP section[edit]
"It's not always true that people die during sleep. Sometimes, they are conscious when pain occurs but is too weak to move or ask for help."
I have no idea why this was in this article :s —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 15:29, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Ranson score[edit]
The Ranson score section seems copied from the Ranson criteria article (in read mode, judging by the reference numbers without link). However, the phrase
- It is applicable to non-gallstone pancreatitis. For gallstone pancreatitis, the parameters are:
is changed to
- It is applicable to both gallstone and alcoholic pancreatitis.
the gallstone parameters are omitted, and after the sentence
- Alternatively, pancreatitis severity can be assessed by any of the following:[2]
where the original article lists APACHE score and others, here you get a section with the titel Ranson's score (the 's added because section names must be unique perhaps??)
Later in the Glasgow criteria section, one reads the Glasgow criteria is valid for both gallstone and alcohol induced pancreatitis, whereas the Ranson score is only for alcohol induced pancreatitis. Ssscienccce (talk) 19:03, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
Causes by demographic[edit]
This section makes some highly dubious unreferenced claims - alcohol is the primary etiology in 60% of US cases and only 5% of UK cases, despite broadly similar ethnicity, lifestyle and alcohol consumption? Maybe there's a good explanation, but if so we need to know about it. I've added a citation request. --Ef80 (talk) 14:35, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

The field of this invention relates to a reusable pump cassette for an ambulatory medical infusion pump.
Ambulatory medical infusion pumps are a commercially successful and popular medical instruments. The pumps allow for the convenient continuous and calibrated delivery of a variety of medicines including but not limited to antibiotics, pain relieving drugs, and chemotherapy drugs.
The pump has a fastener system that allows a supply tube to be removably attached to the pump. The supply tube can be installed on a cassette that has a soft pliable drug reservoir bag placed within a hard shell made from a rigid plastic such as a poly-carbonate to protect the integrity of the bag. The supply tube has a soft section positioned within the pump assembly which is squeezed between the pump and the cassette pump plate to draw or pump the medicine through the supply tube.
The soft tube section is attached to microbore tubing that exits the pump assembly. The microbore tubing has a luer lock or similar connector attached to its distal end that allows connection to a intravenous infusion or subcutaneous delivery system. The microbore tubing resists any unintentional kinking or crimping thus assuring proper delivery of the drugs therethrough.
The pump plate of the pump cassette is permanently secured either by adhesive or sonic welding to the cassette shell to assure that the shell is not unintentionally removed from about the bag so that the bag does not become accidentally exposed and maintains its integrity against accidental puncture.
Often larger amounts of medicine are needed by the patient. Instead of using numerous cassettes with a small bag in each cassette, a larger remote bag of medicine is used. The cassette that attaches to the pump includes only a soft supply tube that engages the pump, a microbore outlet tube that attaches to the patient and a microbore inlet tube that attaches to the remote bag. The inlet tube and outlet tube have distal ends permanently attached to fittings such as luer locks. The fittings maintain the tube assembly permanently secured to the cassette. The microbore tubes are permanently connected to opposing ends of the soft supply tube. The cassette is constructed to permanently retain the supply tube in place. This cassette assembly is often referred to as a remote reservoir cassette or remote cassette.
When the medicine needs to be changed, one supply bag is easily disconnected from the pump cassette and a second medicine in another supply bag is conveniently attached to the pump cassette.
Because the supply tube has been in fluid contact with a patient, the used cassette tubing and or reservoir bag may contain bodily fluids that passed up though the tubing. Thus, the tubing and or reservoir bag are considered medical waste and must be disposed of accordingly. Many principalities now have laws that forbid medical waste from being placed in landfills. The preferred disposal method is by incineration. For proper incineration, the entire cassette with both the used tubing and reservoir bag along with the cassette shell need to be incinerated at relatively high temperatures compared to regular incineration temperatures of other waste products. Similarly, the remote cassette along with used tubing need to be incinerated at high temperature. The higher temperatures are needed for the proper decomposition of certain chemotherapy drugs and for certain rigid plastics such as poly-carbonate. The entire cassette has been incinerated even though the cassette shell can be easily re-sterilized and capable of being used again because the cassette is made to permanently retain the tubing and reservoir bags and it is too difficult and expensive to break into the cassette, cut the tubing and rebuild the cassette with a new bag and tubing in place.
The pumps are constructed for long durability. A typical cassette containing a reservoir bag is capable of holding only one hundred milliliters (100 ml.). The pump thus can pump many cassettes each day as needed. The pump during its useful life can be used with many thousands of cassettes over several years.
The increasing expense and difficulties of proper disposal of the cassette assembly necessitates that only the waste be disposed of and other parts be repaired and reused when possible and convenient. The re-use of the cassette shell can save much plastic and reduce the amount of unnecessary incineration and the unwanted particulates and gasses produced by incineration.
What is needed is a cassette shell and pump plate that allow for easy removal of tubing and reservoir bags and easy reinstallation of replacement supply tubes and reservoir bags without the need for drilling, cutting or tearing of the cassette, bags, or tubing thus reducing the exposure of the fluids to the exterior. What is needed is a recyclable cassette that allows the bags and tubes to remain closed until proper incineration.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, a reusable cassette casing for a medical infusion pump system is removably attachable to a pump housing via a mounting system. The cassette casing includes a plate member that is adjacent a squeezable tube connected to a reservoir bag. The tube is squeezable by a peristaltic type pump in said pump housing pressing the tube flat against the plate member thus providing a pumping action on the fluid within the tube. The cassette casing includes the plate member being removably secured to an open end of a cassette shell member via a plurality of connection devices. The open end of the cassette shell is sized and shaped to provide removal of a reservoir bag from an interior of the shell and insertion and installation of a second reservoir bag within the interior of the shell. The connection devices cooperate with the shell and plate member to reconnect the plate member to the shell member once a new replacement bag and tube are installed.
Preferably the connection devices include a plurality of resilient prongs connected to a one of the plate member about its periphery and the shell about the open end. The connection devices also include a plurality of notches sized to receive said resilient prongs in the other of said plate member about its periphery and said shell about said top open end. The connection devices are constructed for automatically locking and affixing the plate member to the shell when the plate member is positioned to a closed position.
In one embodiment, the connection devices include a slide channel at the top open end of the shell. The plate member has a peripheral edge section slidably receivable in the slide channel of said shell to be slidable between an open position and a closed position. A latch device automatically locks the plate member in the closed position when the plate is slid to the closed position.
According to another aspect of the invention, a reusable pumping plate member for a medical infusion pump system includes the mounting system for mounting the plate member to a pump assembly. The mounting system includes a hook-like protrusion extending from the plate member and is sized to be engageable to a latch mechanism on said pump assembly. The hook-like protrusion has a distal end spaced from a main plate section of the plate member to provide for lateral engagement of the tube member under said hook like protrusion and lateral disengagement of said tube member out from under said hook like protrusion. The plate member includes a slot extending from a peripheral edge of the plate member and under the hook-like protrusion for allowing the tube member or reservoir bag to laterally be received in the slot and laterally disengaged from the slot when the plate member is disconnected from the cassette shell member.
Preferably, the plate member includes a tube positioning retainer hook having a distal end spaced from the main plate section of the plate member a distance less than the diameter of said tube member to allow the tube member to be laterally engaged and retained under said tube positioning hook. The tube member is squeezable to laterally engage and disengage from the tube positioning hook.

Referring now to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 4, an ambulatory medical infusion pump assembly 10 includes a pump housing 12 and a cassette assembly 14 removably attached to the housing 12. The cassette assembly 14 has a pump plate 16 attached to a cassette shell 18 that together forms a casing 20 which contains a flexible reservoir bag 22 at its interior chamber 27. The bag 22 has an upper bag section 23 that is fitted through a tube port 25. A pliable tube 24 is attached to the bag section 23 and is positioned against the exterior side 26 of the pump plate 16. Appropriate guides 28 and tube retainer 30 retain the tube 24 in its proper position against plate 16. The tube 24 is connected to a microbore tubing 32 that extends from the pump housing 12 and cassette casing 20. A Luer lock 34 is connected at the distal end 36 of the microbore tubing 32 to be connected to infusion tubing (not shown). A clamp 35 is installed about tubing 32 and has a tapered slot 37 which can be used to crimp the tubing 32 shut.
Referring now particularly to FIGS. 2 and 3, the tube retainer 30 has a base end 40 integrally affixed to the upper surface 26, an upper spanning section 42 and a distal retaining hook section 44 that forms a gap 46 with the upper surface 26. The gap 46 is smaller than the normal outer diameter of the pliable tube 24. However the tube 24 is pliable such that it can be deformed to be shorter than gap 46 and be laterally received through gap 46 to be positioned under retainer 30. Once under retainer 30, the tube assumed its normal outer diameter such that it is retained by the retainer and will not accidentally disengage from he retainer 30 through the narrow gap 46. However, the tube can be, when desired, disengaged from the retainer by a mere squeezing of the tube 24 and laterally moved out through gap 46.
Referring now to FIG. 2, the pump plate 16 has hooks 48 in proximity with retainer 30 to be removably attachable to appropriate mounts (not shown) in pump housing 12. The pump plate 16 also has a mounting latch hook 50, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, that has a base section 52 integrally formed with the pump plate upper surface 26, a spanning section 54, and a distal hook section 56. The hook section 56 forms a gap 58 between the itself and pump plate upper surface 26. The tube port 25 is an open slot through the pump plate 16 that extends from end section 62 at the periphery 64 of the pump plate 16. The tube 24 or reservoir bag upper section 23 can similarly be laterally engaged or disengaged into port 25 and under latch 50 by passing laterally through both the gap and through the port 25 when the pump plate is disengaged from the shell 18. When the pump plate 16 is installed on shell 18, the shell has end wall section 63 span gap 65 at end of port 25 between two arm sections 65 of pump plate 16.
The pump plate 16 has a plurality of resilient snap fit prongs 64 downwardly depending from its periphery 62 and outwardly extending tabs 66 at a distal end. The shell 18 has complementary notches 68 at its inner surface 69. The notches extend through to the exterior of the shell 18. Guide channels 71 may extend from the notches 68 to the upper edge 72.
A depending shielding flange 74 extends downwardly from the plate 16 and is slightly spaced inwardly from the prongs 64. The flange 74 provides two functions. Firstly, it acts as a limit stop to prevent over-flexing of the prongs 64 when a screwdriver or other prong type device is used to disengage the flange 66 from the notch 68 as illustrated in FIG. 5. Secondly, the shield prevents the prongs 64 from making undesirable contact with the bag 22 that is in the interior 27 of the casing 20.
When the bag 22 needs to replaced, the cassette assembly 14 is detached from the pump housing 12. If the reservoir bag 22 has any medicine in it, the bag 22 is completely emptied by using a medical syringe being used on luer lock 34. The tubing 24 is removed out from under the tube retainer 30 and out from between guides 28. The resilient prongs 64 are then flexed inwardly as shown in FIG. 5 to allow the plate 16 to be disassembled from the cassette shell 18. The tubing 24 is then laterally removed from port 25 through gap 65 such that the plate 16 is completely disengaged from the tubing and bag 22. The bag 22 can then be removed through the upper open end 76 of the shell 18.
The used bag 22 is then properly disposed as waste. The used bag 22 remains closed with luer lock 34 remaining on the tubing 32 until proper disposal. A new unused bag is then inserted into open end 76 into the interior 27 of shell 18 and the new replacement tubing 24 is laterally engaged into port 25 through gap 65 at the periphery of the pump plate 16. The plate 16 is then reconnected to the shell 18 by sliding the prongs 64 along channels 71 until the flanges 66 snap fit into notches 48. The new tubing 24 is then installed between channels 28 and squeezed under retainer 30.
At this point, the cassette assembly is packaged and sterilized under standard radiation or ethyleneoxide gas sterilization procedures. In this fashion, a medical cassette shell can be repaired and re-used with a new reservoir bag. Further use of the cassette shell 18 with third and subsequent bags can be accomplished by simply repeating the disassembly and reinstallation steps described above.
No milling or drilling of an access slot in shell 18 is necessary. No cutting of the tubes 24 or 32 are needed thereby reducing any exposure to the fluids within the tubing or bag 22. The new bag 22 may be preassembled with the luer lock 34 and clamp 35 before installation into the shell 18 thus simplifying the final assembly step. The used bag and tube may be removed and properly disposed of without disassembly of the lure lock 34 or clamp 35 from the tube 32.
In this fashion, the need for incinerating the entire shell after each use of a reservoir bag is eliminated and the shell may be used with a plurality of sequentially used reservoir bags.
Many embodiments of the shell and connecting devices between the shell and pump plate are compatible with the retainer 30, latch 50 and open port 25. Other examples of such compatible cassette casings are illustrated in FIGS. 6-11. For simplicity, parts that correspond with the parts of the above described first embodiment will have the same numbers.
As illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7, the shell 18 has resilient prongs 64 extend to the top edge 72. Each prong 64 has an inwardly extending flange 66 that engages the peripheral edge 80 of pump plate 16. A ledge 82 on the interior wall 69 provides for a stop for the pump plate 16 when its mounted on shell 18. Removal of the pump plate 16 is achieved by outward flexing of the prongs 64 to disengage the flanges 66 from the peripheral edge 80 of the pump plate 16 and lifting of the pump plate 16 off shell 18.
FIG. 8 illustrates a third embodiment where the pump plate 16 is integrally formed with one other wall 84 of the casing 20. Part 218 of casing 20 has resilient prongs 64 with engaging flanges 66 that engage edge section 268 adjacent guide channels 71. When installed, the part 218 has wall section 263 span gap 65 in pump plate 16.
Other connecting devices can be used that incorporate a slide channel between two parts. FIG. 9 discloses an embodiment that has pump plate 16 integrally formed with wall 84 and floor 88. Edges 384 of the wall 84 slide in channel 390 of part 318 until resilient prongs 64 have flanges 66 snap into notches 68 in respective edges 384.
FIG. 10 illustrates a pump plate 16 that slides on the top end 72 of shell 18 in channel 490. The resilient prongs 64 at the top edge 72 has its flanges 66 snap fit into notches 68 in the periphery 80 of pump plate 16 when the pump plate is slid to the closed position.
FIG. 11 illustrates a hinged casing 520 that has a hinge 590 that allows part 518 to open up against part 522 that is integrally formed with pump plate 16. The part 518 has a wall section 563 that opens up gap 65 of slot 25 when the casing 520 is opened.
Other constructions of a reusable casing for an ambulatory medical infusion pump are foreseen. FIGS. 12 and 13 illustrates two halves 621 and 622 of casing 620 each having a half 615 and 617 of a pump plate 616 integrally formed therewith. The two halves 621 and 622 are attached through a plurality of prongs 64 and notches 68. As clearly shown in FIG. 13, each pump plate half 615 and 617 has a retainer half 630 that has distal upper end 640. Ends 640 abut each other to form a channel 642 thereunder that retains tube 24. Similarly latch halves 650 have distal upper ends 652 that abut each other to retain tube 24 thereunder as it passes into port 25. The halves 620 and 622 are disengagable such that, the retainer 30 and latch 50 disengage from tube 24 to allow the tube and bag to be removed from the casing 20.
Referring now to FIGS. 14 and 15, the concept of the retainer 30 and latch 50 with open slot or port 25 can also be applied to a remote pumping plate casing 720 that has a pumping plate 16 and shell 718. A tube assembly 722 includes a pliable tube section 24 and microbore tubing 32 and luer lock 34. The other end 735 of the tubing 24 is connected to microbore tubing 737 that extends from the pump housing 12 and casing 720. Tube end 735 passes into port 25 and to a rubber gasket 741 installed in slot 743 in end 747 of shell 718 as shown clearly in FIG. 15. Slot 743 has detentes 749 that retain the gasket 741 in position. The microbore tubing 737 has a lock fastener 748 connected at distal end 751. The fasteners 34 and 748 are permanently secured to the tubing 32 and 737 respectively and the tubing 32 and 737 are permanently bonded to the soft tube section 24.
When the tubing assembly needs replacement, the casing 720 is detached in the conventional fashion from the pump housing 12. The tubing 722 is then disengages from retainer 30 and retainer 50 by merely sliding them out from thereunder and out of slot 25. The rubber gasket 741 can be disengaged from detentes 749 when sufficient manual force is applied.
The used tube assembly 722, after completely disengaged from the casing 720 is then properly disposed of as medical waste. The tube assembly 722 remains sealed with fasteners 34 and 748 remaining on the tube assembly 722 until proper disposal thereof. A new replacement tube assembly is then installed by sliding the tubing under retainer 30 and latch 50 and into slots 25 and 743. The tubing assembly 722 can be completely preassembled with the necessary microbore tubing and locks mounted at both distal ends, and with gasket 741 and clamp 35 mounted thereon.
At this point, the cassette assembly 720 is packaged and sterilized under either standard radiation procedures or ethyleneoxide gas sterilization procedures and is ready for sequential use. Further use of the cassette casing 720 with third and subsequent tubing assemblies can be accomplished by simply repeating the disassembly and reinstallation steps described above.
In this fashion, the need for incinerating the casing 720 after each tube assembly 72 is used is eliminated and the casing 720 may be used with a plurality of sequentially used tube assemblies 722.
Variations and modifications are possible without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.

Hard for us to imagine staying anywhere else in Amsterdam, after staying at this hotel before. The lesson we learned this time was about room selection- last time we had a lovely room with a large window and view of the canal and street. This time we were in a room at the back of the hotel with just a small square window at the top of the wall that caused the room to be much too dark- I would certainly request a different room is the future.
We traveled this year with a daughter who has a dairy allergy, making meals a bit of a challenge when we travel. The woman who prepared breakfast each morning ( I think her name is Ola) went out of her to way to rinse her skillet and bowl each morning to make eggs for my daughter (in oil) with no trace of butter or milk. She seemed perfectly happy to accommodate us, and gave us another reason to love the service from this hotel.
Last year four of us took a taxi to the hotel from the airport ( charged 73 euro for 4 people, but only 45 euro to return). This year we took the Connexxion Shuttle which was easy and less costly.

Colorado Springs police are still searching for a man they say walked into an American National Bank, at 3755 Briargate Boulevard, with a gun and demanded that everyone get on the floor. He stole cash from the teller and then took a wallet and cell phone from one of the customers.
The robber is described as a male, unknown race, 5'8" 5'10", wearing a ski mask, grey hoodie and a blue leather jacket with white letters. He was armed with a semi-automatic handgun.
The suspect left in an unknown direction. No get-away vehicle was seen.
The same bank was hit a month ago. Police say the suspects involved in that robbery have been arrested. There have been 10 bank robberies so far this year, which surpasses all of last year's total of nine.

There have been reports of someone leaving poisonous sandwiches in a Beckenham park.
The situation was reported to RSPCA Bromley by a member of public who said the toxic food was being left in Croydon Recreation Ground, Beckenham.
A spokeswoman for the RSPCA said: "These reports are worrying and we would urge anyone with information to report it to us.
"We will investigate every accusation of animal cruelty.
"Anyone found responsible for putting out poison that has caused suffering to animals could face up to six months in prison and a fine of up to £20,000 under the Animal Welfare Act.
"In the meantime we would urge dog walkers and pet owners in the area to be vigilant and anyone with information should contact the RSPCA on the cruelty and advice line on 0300 123 4999."
This comes after three dogs died and three more required treatment when poisoned meat was left in a park in Brent, north-west London.

Tropical Storm Edouard gaining speed over Gulf
While Edouard isn't a terribly strong storm ( yet ), it is getting better organized and looks to threaten Southeast Texas. On its present track, Edouard should make landfall Tuesday afternoon as a strong tropical storm or a weak hurricane. That would mean top sustained winds between 70 and 80 mph. Areas around Houston and Galveston look to be in line to bear the brunt of the storm. Storm surge should be between 4 and 8 feet, isolated tornadoes will be possible, and heavy rain of 2 to 6 inches will be possible. Again not a huge storm, but something to be prepared for.
A tropical storm warning is in effect from the mouth of the Mississippi River westward to San Luis Pass in Texas. A hurricane watch is up from west of Intracoastal City, Louisiana, to Port O'Connor, Texas.

Rolls-Royce Wraith pictures and hands-onPocket-lint
It's not every day a new Rolls-Royce comes along, so we stood expectantly with the crowds to watch the Goodwood-based company's latest car being unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show.
Said to be built "in the spirit of the company founders' historic endeavours in design and engineering", the Wraith certainly presents a pleasing aura of calm, in stark contrast to the crazy supercar wars going on elsewhere in the show hall. Bragging and one-upmanship's just too uncouth for this stately brand.
But if you fancy your stateliness with a bit more Riviera and a bit less stately home attitude, this will certainly be the Rolls for you. It's much less massive than the Phantom cars - both saloon and drophead/coupe models. Which isn't to say it's exactly small, at more than 5 metres long, but it's based on the smaller Ghost model, which itself is very loosely based on its parent company BMW's 7-Series.
It's certainly very striking, featuring the fastest angle of rear screen we can remember on a production car. You'll have also no doubt have noticed the two-tone brown/pink-grey paint scheme. Two-tone is a real Rolls-Royce design signature that others are increasingly playing about with, and while we like the brown quite a lot, the contrast colour of the roof didn't quite work. It highlights the rather heavy section above the window line, which most car designers we spoke to thought made the Wraith look a bit, erm, overweight. We also thought it a shame they hadn't given the Wraith new head and taillights to differentiate it further from the Ghost.
But we're nit-picking rather as you can tell, and what we do like are the utterly stunning coach doors which hinge open from the rear. The vast, thick chrome window surround is also attention grabbing and the interior has some of the best wooden trim we've seen in a car, and we're not normally big fans of wood in cars. The seats, it would be true to say, are also plusher than anything we've ever sat in which has wheels.
And perhaps of greatest interest to people like us - and as we reported in our news story yesterday - the Wraith is the first Rolls to really try and propel this most historic of car brands into the 21st century tech world. So while you still get a 624bhp V12 and it weights several tonnes, it also features some very modern tech developments - such as satellite aided transmission, which uses GPS positioning to work out where the car is and what the driver might be about to do next and select the most appropriate gear.
That navigation system itself can of course be voice-activated and runs through a 10-inch HD screen. You'll also be able to download a Rolls-Royce app if you're lucky enough to own one which will allow you to check on the car's vitals and send it directions, your diary and so on, from your phone when you're away from the car.
The central rotary controller - spot the BMW theme - through which you control the interface features the Spirit of Ecstasy, Rolls-Royce's iconic bonnet ornament, in its centre, which to be honest made us laugh and we thought a bit chintzy. We preferred the simple, elegant clock in terms of design, though one of our friends said it looked like a Swatch watch, which we doubt is the look Rolls was going for. A raft of other technologies, including surround view cameras, adaptive cruise control and the Rolls signature "star light" LED headliner that mimics a starry sky at night, are other tech highlights.
But perhaps best of all, the Wraith's only going to cost about £215,000 - which, measured against the prices announced here by Ferrari, Lambo and McLaren, seems like a bargain. We'll take three please.

Alex Lundry is a political pollster, microtargeter, data-miner and data-visualizer. He spends most of his time searching for big ideas hidden inside of big data. He has visualized historical tax receipts,White House visitor logs, ideological estimates of Supreme Court justices (called a "very cool graphic" by the Washington Post), and hundreds of thousands of survey interviews. In 2009, Politics Magazine named him a "Rising Star."
President Obama's recent appointment of Yale professor Edward Tufte to the independent commission charged with tracking stimulus funds underscores the growing importance of data visualization in both public policy and political debate.
Tufte is inarguably the modern era's leading authority on data visualization, the transformation of raw data into graphical form. These visuals - graphs, charts and other types of information graphics - are frequently responsible for remarkably stunning revelations and deep insights that may otherwise have been obscured among large and cumbersome spreadsheets or databases.
The federal stimulus is just that - an incomprehensibly enormous $787 billion piece of legislation being distributed across 50 states, 435 congressional districts, 28 federal agencies and over 160,000 individual projects. President Obama's challenge is to convincingly show the American public that their money is being well-spent.
Thanks to a neurological phenomenon called the pictorial superiority effect, the human brain is hardwired to find visualizations more compelling than a spreadsheet, speech or memo. So it's no wonder that Obama has turned to a data visualization guru for the monitoring of his administration's largest legislative accomplishment to date. Meaningful visualizations of stimulus data can make the project more transparent, accountable, and could ultimately even impact the legislation's perceived success.
Transparency, allowing the public to see the who, what, when and where behind stimulus funding, will help alleviate any perceptions of waste, inefficiency, or unfairness. Indeed, the most common criticisms of government spending are that it is unequally or unfairly distributed across communities, that it goes to unworthy projects, or that it simply isn't doing those things it was meant to do: stimulate the economy and create jobs. But states like California have already engaged with design firms to visualize the disbursement of stimulus funds, mapping dollars to projects and locations, in turn increasing voters' investment in the bill as they see its direct benefits to their community.
Data visualization can also make the federal stimulus more accountable, revealing fraud, abuse or even honest mistakes. A case in point: the public outcry over the recent revelation that stimulus funding seemed to go to congressional districts that didn't exist. This seemingly innocuous data entry error quickly became an anti-stimulus talking point, whereas a simple visualization of the data could have revealed the problem well ahead of its entry into the news cycle.
Finally, there is also great political advantage to effective visualizations of the Stimulus Act. Convincing voters of its merit will take more than declarative speeches and number-drenched spreadsheets, and the Obama administration knows this. Their appreciation for the political power of data visualization was on display last month when it released a graph of weekly job losses since December 2007. The bars, color-coded by presidential administration, tell a distinct, if not debatable, story about the stimulus' impact. The visualization took the internet by storm as pro-stimulus voters shared, linked, blogged and tweeted the image, and anti-stimulus voters denounced it as infographic propaganda, all the while scrambling to create their own charts telling their side of the story.
These chart wars are only going to become more and more common in political discourse. President Obama understands this acutely - and this was certainly the subtext in appointing Edward Tufte to the stimulus board.

Voters in Britain's "forgotten" remnants of empire should be allowed to directly elect their own MPs to the House of Commons. Under a new proposal to be considered by Parliament, the member for Antigua might sit alongside the member for Aldershot, while the representative for the Turks & Caicos might find themselves waving their order papers at MPs from Tooting and Chichester. Territories ranging from Anguilla in the Caribbean, via the Channel Islands, Gibraltar and the Falklands to St Helena and South Georgia in the South Atlantic could be given a louder voice in determining how they are governed from London.
Andrew Rosindell MP, a member of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, who is pressing for a parliamentary debate on the issue, says action is needed to plug the "democratic hole" that hundreds of thousands of British citizens find themselves in. "Our parliament ultimately governs 21 territories around the world, but those territories have no voice in this parliament, they elect no representatives and have no representation, unlike former colonies and territories of other countries. We give them nothing. All they have is an informal all-party group. We have a democratic hole with hundreds of thousands of people for whom we make laws, whom we ultimately govern and on whose behalf we can declare war, make foreign policy and sign international treaties."
Lillian Missick, chair of the Turks & Caicos consultative council, welcomed the move. "A seat in the UK parliament ... will also formalise links with British society as a whole that come with the opportunities our people have to live, work and study in the UK."
Guy Opperman, Tory MP for Hexham, said the Falklands and other British territories should have a legal guarantee of self-determination rather than rely on the "whim of Whitehall". As tensions with Argentina over the Falklands escalate ahead of the 30th anniversary of the 1982 war, he said Parliament should pass a law guaranteeing the right of Britain's 14 overseas territories to choose their own fate.
In a debate on Tuesday, he will call on the Government to try to lift the Argentinian-inspired trade blockade of the Falklands. He added: "The Falkland islanders are rightly worried about this anniversary and the actions that Argentina is now taking to prevent access and trade, which we fear may escalate."Reuse content

Metro Briefing | Connecticut: Hebron: Balloonist Crash Lands
Published: September 26, 2002
A British hot-air balloonist failed in his attempt to cross the Atlantic in an open wicker basket. He crash-landed yesterday in a stand of trees in eastern Connecticut. The balloonist, David Hempleman-Adams, 45, of Bath, England, said he would try again next year. His crossing attempt began near Pittsburgh and was to end in Portugal. Asked if he had injured anything, he said, ''only my pride.''

Health Fair next weekend
It's back-to-school time next week and that means it is also time for one of the largest children's health fairs in Mississippi.
On Saturday, Aug. 13, Baptist Memorial Hospital-Union County will be sponsoring its Back-to-School Health Fair for children from 4 to 12 years old.
More than 1,000 people, including about 400 children, are expected at the hospital for a free health check, dental check, vision screening and a variety of other activities.
Nancy Kidd, director of marketing and physician relations at the hospital, said the goal of the fair is to catch early health problems, provide lots of information about nutrition and safety and have fun while doing it.
"The event is part of Baptist Union County's commitment to serving the needs of our community, and pediatrics is a primary focus for us," she said.
In addition to the screenings, educational information will be available on topics such as backpack safety, germ control, immunizations, internet safety, nutrition, sun safety, seatbelt safety, and dental care.
A helicopter, ambulance, fire truck and law enforcement vehicles will be on display. The hospital also will be offering free hotdogs, drinks, popcorn and snowcones.
"We'll even have a teddy-clinic," she said, so children may bring their bear or doll.
This program, which has been going on 22 years at the hospital, is another example of the importance of having a responsible, non-profit hospital in our community. Baptist puts its focus on community health, not profit.
We're fortunate to have such a hospital in our community.

ZTE Warp Elite budget Android phone hits Boost Mobile
ZTE has a new budget smartphone, the ZTE Warp Elite. The Warp Elite has launched through Boost Mobile, where it is priced at $180 USD. Unlike many budget phones, the ZTE Warp Elite features a large 5.5 inch display and other specs that are — at least in relation to the phone's price tag — fairly notable. This includes a 13 megapixel rear camera and the use of Android Lollipop 5.1, an atypically large battery, and a sleek, non-cheesy design.

We recenly spend a week in Whistler at the Lake Placid Lodge and found it to be comfortable and clean if slightly dated. The Lodge is one of a number of places under the umbrella of "Whistler Places" As Lake Placid Lodge is a strata titled building my comments can only be ascribed to unit #201. This one bedroom unit was very clean and well maintained. New utensils and appliances.Two flat screen TV's with Optik" TV service.In suite laundry facilities. As our visit was between seasons, we encountered very few other guests.
We will not hesitate to stay there again. In fact, we are considering making it an annual visit rather than going to Mexico in the fall.

French Plans to Cut Employer Social Charges Remain Unpopular
Proposals to lower social charges paid by employers remain unpopular with the French, a poll shows.
Seventy percent of French people questioned oppose raising the social-security tax to offset a lower contribution by companies, while 29 percent are in favor of it, according to a poll by Ifop for Sud Ouest newspaper.
The level of opposition is similar to the reaction that followed former President Nicolas Sarkozy's plan to raise the value-added sales tax to pay for lower social charges for employers, the pollster said. Sixty-seven percent were against it, compared with almost a third in support of the measure when asked in January.
Ifop questioned 1,004 people by telephone on Oct. 4 and 5. The pollster estimated a 1.8 percent margin of error.
