This invention relates generally to improvements in identification band appliances such as wristbands and the like for mounting onto a specific person or object, and for carrying information associated with the specific band wearer. More particularly, this invention relates to an improved identification band incorporating a primary identification zone in combination with a plurality of detachable or peel-off adhesive labels and a plurality of detachable cards, wherein the primary identification zone, each detachable label and each detachable card is adapted to receive human-readable and/or machine readable information as by printing and/or programming of a radio frequency identification (RFID) circuit. The invention is particularly suited for use as a wristband or the like to be worn by a patient in a hospital or other medical facility, wherein patient information can be inputted to the wristband, labels and cards at a convenient time such as at the time of patient admission or thereafter, with the information-bearing labels and cards being subsequently and individually separable from the identification band on an as-needed basis for adherence to other objects associated with the patient, such as a vial containing a patient blood sample or the like.
Identification bands such as wristbands or bracelets and the like are commonly used to identify individual patients in a hospital or other medical facility. The identification band is normally imprinted with patient identification information such as patient name, room number, patient identification (ID) number, etc., and then secured about the patient's wrist or the like at the time of admission to the medical facility. Thereafter, in the course of patient treatment, the identification band is used to confirm and verify patient identity thereby insuring that each specific patient receives the appropriate treatment, pharmaceuticals, laboratory tests, surgical procedures, etc. In many instances, facility protocol will require transcribing of certain patient information onto other medical forms and/or objects such as specimen-containing vials and the like. Unfortunately, human transcription errors can still occur.
A variety of improved patient identification systems and methods have been developed in an attempt to provide improved correlation between a specific patient, and corresponding medical forms and laboratory specimens and related test results and the like. By way of illustrative example, a multi-part form has been provided to include a printable patient identification band such as a wristband, in combination with one or more printable adhesive labels, wherein the wristband and labels are concurrently imprinted with appropriate patient information, for example, at the time of patient admission to a medical facility. Further improvements include removable cards imprinted with the same information. The identification band is then detached from the multi-part form and secured to the associated patient. The related label and card portions of the multi-part form are then typically retained with the patient's chart or file, where the pre-printed labels and cards are available for individual detachment and affixation to subsequent medical forms, specimen vials and the like on an as-needed basis. See, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,122,947; 5,653,472; 6,067,739; 6,510,634; and 6,438,881; and copending U.S. Ser. No. 10/322,320.
While the above-described multi-part form system and method beneficially reduces or eliminates transcription errors, there is an inherent requirement to separate the pre-printed labels and cards from the patient identification band. As a result, when it is desired to affix one of the pre-printed labels onto a subsequent medical document or object, it is essential for medical personnel to retrieve and use a correct label associated with a specific patient. However, since medical personnel are commonly required to work concurrently with several patients at any given time, a significant opportunity remains for human error in connection with affixing an incorrect label or card associated with a different patient to medical documents and objects.
There exists, therefore, a continuing need for further improvements in and to patient identification bands and associated pre-printed label and card systems, for insuring substantially fail-safe affixation of a correct label or card associated with a specific patient to subsequent medical forms and documents, and related medical devices such as laboratory containers and the like. The present invention fulfills these needs and provides further related advantages.
In accordance with the invention, an improved identification band such as a wristband is provided for mounting onto a specific person or object, wherein the identification band incorporates a primary identification zone, a plurality of detachable adhesive labels and a plurality of detachable cards. The primary identification zone, one or more of the detachable labels, and one or more of the detachable cards are adapted to receive human-readable and/or machine readable information associated with the specific wearer, as by printing and/or by programming of a radio frequency identification (RFID) circuit. In use, such as when worn by a patient in a hospital or the like, the detachable labels and cards are individually separable from the identification band on an as-needed basis for association with other objects associated with the band wearer, such as a medical form or a laboratory vial containing a patient blood sample or the like.
In a preferred form, the identification band comprises an elongated strap having a head end and a tail end sized to wrap comfortably and adjustably about a target portion of a specific person or object, such as a wristband wrapped about the wearer's wrist. The head and tail ends include and/or are adapted for assembly with fastener means for securing the band about the wearer with a selected diametric size. Exemplary fastener means are shown and described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,448,846, which in incorporated by reference herein.
The band includes the primary identification zone preferably comprising an outwardly visible region for receiving and visibly bearing selected information associated with the band wearer. Such wearer-associated information may comprise printed human-readable information such as name and other identifying data, and/or printed machine-readable information such as information codes, bar codes, etc. In addition, in accordance with one preferred form of the invention, the primary identification zone may include an RFID circuit or chip adapted for programmable reception of wearer-associated information which can be subsequently communicated with a remote reader. Such wearer-associated information inputted to the RFID circuit or chip may be updated and/or changed, if and as necessary.
The band further includes the plurality of detachable labels each bearing the same or selected portions of the wearer-associated information carried by the above-described primary identification zone. That is, each label may carry printed human-readable and/or machine-readable information, and/or an RFID circuit or chip. Once again, wearer-associated information inputted to each RFID circuit or chip may be updated and/or changed, if and as necessary. In the preferred form, the multiple labels are formed on a face ply of the band, with each label having an underside surface carrying a pressure sensitive adhesive normally affixed to an underlying release film on a base ply. The multiple labels are formed in a convenient array according to the size and shape of the band, such as an end-to-end series array, with appropriate die cuts formed therebetween to permit an individual label to be detached when desired from the identification band, without removing the band from the wearer, whereupon the detached label can be affixed substantially immediately to the desired document or object to be associated with the band wearer. The labels may be formed directly on the band strip generally between or forming a portion of the head and tail ends. The band also includes the plurality of detachable cards each bearing the same or selected portions of the wearer associated information carried by the above described primary identification zone. That is, each card may carry imprinted human readable and/or machine readable information, and/or an RFID circuit or chip. Once again, wearer-associated information inputted to each RFID circuit or chip may be updated and/or changed, if and as necessary. In the preferred form, the multiple cards are formed on a face ply and base ply of the band, with each card having a portion of the face ply inseparably adhered to a corresponding portion of the base ply. The portion of the band comprising the cards does not include a release film on the base ply. The multiple cards are formed in a convenient array according to the size and shape of the band, such as an end-to-end series array, with appropriate die cuts formed therebetween to permit an individual card to be detached when desired from the identification band, without removing the band from the wearer, where upon the detached card can be associated substantially immediately with the desired document or object to be associated with the band wearer. The cards may be formed directly on the band strip generally formed on a tail end extension adapted for looped wrapping with the band when secured on the wearer's wrist or the like.
In accordance with a preferred method, the identification bands are provided with a succession of individual bands interconnected end-to-end in roll form or the like, and adapted for suitable separation by means of intervening pre-formed perforations or the like. The bands can be drawn one-at-a-time through a suitable print station including a print head and/or an RFID circuit programmer for inputting desired wearer-specific information to an individual identification band. The resultant information-bearing band can then be detached from the roll or the like, and then appropriately mounted onto the specific wearer's wrist or the like.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings which illustrate, by way of example, the principles of the invention.
The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention. In such drawings:
As shown in the exemplary drawings, an improved identification band referred to generally in
The improved identification band 10 of the present invention generally comprises an elongated flexible strap formed from a suitable lightweight and flexible material such as a selected plastic or paper-based material which is preferably resistant to significant longitudinal stretching. In general terms, and as viewed best in
This identification band 10 is particularly suitable for use in a medical facility such as a hospital or the like, wherein the band 10 can be imprinted with or otherwise receive a variety of patient identification information at the time of patient admission. Such information may comprise items such as patient name, date of admission, patient identification number, and optional additional information such as patient condition or treatment regimen, etc. At least some of this patient identification information is applied as by machine printing directly onto the primary identification zone 12 of the band 10, in human readable form. Other information may be applied as by machine printing in coded form, or in machine readable form such as a bar code 25 or the like. Still further, in accordance with one preferred form of the invention, patient identification information can be inputted by as by machine printing in human or machine readable form, and by electronic programming of each RFID circuit 16 on or in the primary identification zone 12, on or in one or more of the detachable labels 14 and on or in one or more of the detachable cards 15, wherein the type and extent of information inputted to the RFID circuits 16 will be a function of circuit memory capacity. Selected patient identification information may also be applied as by printing in human-readable and/or machine-readable form to each of the detachable labels 14 and each of the detachable cards 15. For illustrative examples of identification bands and the like including RFID circuits and related programming technology, see U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,479,797; 5,493,805; 5,457,906; 5,581,924; 5,973,598; 5,973,600; 6,181,287; and 6,414,543, which are incorporated by reference herein.
In use, the information-bearing identification band 10 including the detachable labels 14 and cards 15 can be mounted quickly and easily onto the wrist 11 (
In the course of treatment, a variety of medical forms and/or physical objects, such as a vial 26 (
In one preferred form as depicted in
A substantial portion of the external or outboard surface area of the face ply 20 defines the visibly exposed primary identification zone 12 of the band 10. This primary identification zone 12 is formed adjacent to the plurality of detachable labels 14, which in turn are formed in a suitable array that is compatible with the overall width and length of the band 10. The illustrative drawings show the primary identification zone 12 disposed in end-to-end series relation with the plurality of detachable labels 14 which, as shown, extend in turn in an end-to-end array over a portion of the band length between the primary zone 12 toward the tail end 32. In addition, the detachable cards 15 are formed on a tail end extension 38 which protrudes longitudinally beyond the tail end 32. When the card-bearing tail end extension 38 is provided as shown, this extension 38 may be wrapped circumferentially with or about the closed loop band 10 attached (as viewed in
For facilitated detachment when needed, the multiple labels 14 are associated with transversely extending die cuts 40 formed through the face ply 20, and preferably also through the layer 22 of pressure sensitive adhesive or the like carried at the underside surfaces of each label 14, but without extension of such die cuts 40 through the supporting base ply 18. With this construction, each individual label 14 can be removed quickly and easily (as depicted in
Similarly, the multiple cards 15 are associated with transversely extending die cuts 41 formed through the face ply 20, the adhesive layer 22 and the base ply 18. With this construction, each individual card 15 may be removed quickly and easily (as depicted in
To facilitate initial application of the patient identification information onto each identification band 10, a large plurality of individual bands can be formed conveniently and economically in an end-to-end array and carried on a roll 42 (
The band roll 42 is suitably mounted for feeding the identification bands 10 in succession to a print station 46 (
A variety of further modifications and improvements in and to the improved identification band 10 of the present invention will be apparent to persons skilled in the art. Accordingly, no limitation on the invention is intended by way of the foregoing description and accompanying drawings, except as set forth in the appended claims.

Patient Comments: Arthroscopy - Recovery
Question:How long was your recovery of your knee arthroscopy procedure?
Comment from: Atschmid, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: March 11
I had medial meniscus repair with arthroscopy on 1/22/16. I didn't realize there was a Novocain like substance that was killing the pain and so the next day, when I felt great, I took my dog for a long walk! Mistake! The day after that I was in pure agony. So the recovery has been slow. I am 57 I had a discectomy and hemilaminectomy when I was 32 at L4 L5, and the surgery cured me of back pain. I was hoping this would go as well, but I am feeling my age! Still I am able to walk now, once I get going (stiff at first) and am doing physical therapy. I am hoping that another few weeks will take care of residual pain.
Comment from: Sandy R, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: March 10
I had arthroscopic surgery on my left knee 5 years ago. The doctor was supposed to do a knee replacement but chose not to and wanted to fix my knee as best he could. The day of surgery when I tried to get up off bed something inside my knee ripped, I had sharp pain and swelling like a huge bubble on side of my knee. It turned out he cut my ligament too short and reattached it. Nothing was done about this pocket of blood and fluids for 3 months. Soon it became infected and my knee was getting worse instead of better. My regular doctor insisted the surgeon went in to fix the mess and see what was wrong. The surgeon ended up pushing the infection into my knee joint and within weeks my knee joint fused together and became permanently stuck in a 2/3 in bend. I was told I would be on crutches for the rest of my life considering my left knee was so mangled/bent and it would not touch the ground. Seeking a 2nd opinion and then 2 more surgeries to try and fix it I am still unable to bend or use my knee but it is at least straighter so I can walk on my tip toes but I have to wear a knee brace permanently for the rest of my life if I cannot find a doctor who can do a miracle and fix my knee. The pain is excruciating 24/7. I need someone to help fix my knee so I can walk again!
Comment from: Bill C, 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: March 02
I had double knee arthroscopy about 7 years ago. My knees were in extreme pain every day. I was taking a variety of medications and topical creams with no effect. After the surgery and taking it easy for a month, my pain level went down to almost nothing. I am not an athlete but I am on my feet a lot during the day. Sometimes my knee still catches, but this is rare. I feel this surgery was highly successful in my case. So 7 years later I still have almost no pain. The doctor told me my knees were badly damaged, maybe that is why I felt so much relief. I was 46 when I had the surgery.

I had arthroscopic surgery a little over a month ago for torn meniscus. Doctor scraped arthritis and repaired the tear. Despite therapy I am still in pain daily. I use a walker a bit, but it is not that helpful. Pain from the tear was excruciating and now better, but I am discouraged from lack of progress. From what I have read here, I am not alone in this dilemma. Hopefully time will help.
Comment from: BJH, 35-44 Male (Patient) Published: February 01
I had a knee arthroscopy on my left knee 21/12/15 for a torn meniscus and split lateral tibia. I was immobile for 2 and a half weeks before surgery as my knee was locked in a bent position. So because I couldn't walk for 2 and a half weeks before surgery, I lost a lot of muscle mass which made my recovery take longer. After waking up from surgery I was in no pain at all. I felt great in fact. For the first two days there was hardly any pain, then on the third day it got a bit painful, but the Endone pain killers did the job. I needed them for about a week. I was walking without crutches by the 4th day (with a significant limp), and it has gradually gotten better since (it is now 5 weeks since surgery). Some days it didn't seem to progress at all for a few days and I got worried, but then it would improve a lot over the next few days. At week 5 I would say I am about 90 percent recovered. It feels strong, no pain, but still a bit of swelling. Left leg still a lot smaller muscle mass than right, it looks very skinny around my thigh. But I am back to all activities now except running so it should build back up soon. I am 37.
Comment from: Boomer48, (Patient) Published: December 31
I had arthroscopic surgery on my right knee on September 17, 2015. I have been back to see the surgeon twice and each time I've had to have my knee drained. X-rays don't show anything that could be causing the problem and I'm wondering why no MRI has been done at this point. I'm 67 and realize I could have arthritis to an extent, however even after 3 months you'd think I should get some relief. I've always been very active with senior softball and now it is doubtful I'll be able to continue. At the end of a normal work day my knee throbs so bad it interrupts my sleep at night. I have an appointment for January 6, 2016 with the surgeon, we'll see from there!
Comment from: mackster101, 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: December 02
I hurt my left knee while on a run and spent 2 years trying to heal before getting arthroscopy and had my meniscus fixed. I was always in pain which I just put up with but saw no end in sight. After surgery knee was swollen, so I stayed off it for 3 days. On the 4th day I was walking a short distance and by the end of 1st week I was walking 1 km. Now after 3 weeks a bit of pain remains but I am walking normal, I run up and down stairs with no pain. I go for 5 km walks. There is still some swelling but overall it has been a great recovery.

Re: 3D Panorama = headache
In reply to Cullings • Dec 16, 2012
I've discovered that the TV does has a 3D depth adjustment so I'll try that and see if it improves things. I must admit the pictures I took were looking through windows, which I thought would be good for 3D with the window frames just a few feet away and the garden in the distance but perhaps it was a bit too much. I'll try some more today outside and see if it is any better.

Why spend more?
Then go to Mickie D's and get off of these boards.
For 50 cents more you can get a truly good cup of coffee in a nice environment. No comparison. IMO, McDonalds is a ripoff at 99 cents.
Because most folks don't drink coffee thru the rectum.
Sentiment: Buy
McDonalds coffee is horrible! Give me a break!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
idk about you, but FatDonalds is for peasants.. this stock will be $150 plus summer 2014

Real people, really active
Every day, over a million people connect with each other on Twoo. Whether you fancy chatting, searching, sharing photos or playing our fun introductory games, Twoo is full of exciting new people to have fun with, and maybe even to meet.
Crap. It makes you a fool It forces you to 'like' someone to unlock a feature. This way, when others 'like' you, you'll be notified by mail. Ultimately you'll be bugged with so many mails. The app never connects you to the other person but makes you a fool
Supposed if I fill a perfil and I am a male they have to show up only female and I same faces far from my adress
Great app Now everything is working properly.
Not good There is only send one aur two msg
Good app The app works a lot smooother and faster now on my phone! No more crashes!
Thanks I oula like to thank the team of TWOO for this beautiful program to facilitate people to know each other and to make new friends
What's New
We're excited to present you the fully redesigned Twoo Android app. We completely rebuilt it, making it slick, fast & stable. Enjoy!

La Quinta Inn & Suites South Bend, South Bend
The first room we stayed in was absolutely disgusting, the toilet was literally full of waste that had not been flushed or cleaned. We were moved to another room which also had a dirty toilet. Finally, we moved to a third room that was clean. The woman at the front desk was very accommodating and embarrassed at the conditions of the rooms. We appreciated her efforts, but will most likely not be back..

La Quinta Inn & Suites South Bend, South Bend
Very nice place and recommendable.
Enjoyed my stay. Majority of the staff was nice and friendly. My stay was great. The only negative was the young lady who knocked on my door Saturday morning asked if I needed towels. I stated at the time no. She didn't come back to change the linen or remove the garage. But I did see another young lady later in the day who removed my garbage whe I ask. She was very nice and apologetic. Definitely will be back again. I even stayed an extra night.

What is Linkbait?
I've see the term linkbait thrown around quite a bit (I've been accused of it myself). However, I think it's worth taking a look at the term to decide what it really means.

Which Static Site Generator Should You Choose?
As part of the process of writing my Static Site Generators ebook for O'Reilly and maintaining my Static Site Samples project on GitHub, I've used a good number of static site generators including: Jekyll, Middleman, Hugo, Wintersmith, Metalsmith, Harp, Hexo, DocPad and Roots.
You'd think 9 static site generators is a lot, but that's out of a list of 423 (as of this writing anyway). Still, it includes many of the leading projects and more than any normal person would want to try before choosing one. Because of this I am often asked (and often present on) which static site generator I recommend (based upon the ones I've used).
Let me give you the simple answer first, then the more nuanced answer second.
Mar 29, 2016
Hostile to Documentation?
I think every developer has had that feeling when they discover a project on GitHub that seems like the answer to the problem they are trying to solve. Unfortunately, many times this project turns out to be either undocumented or minimally documented and the experience ends in frustration.
Yesterday I released an article titled "Your Open Source Project is Considered Harmful" (fwiw, the title is meant to be cheeky though not everyone took it that way) that discusses the huge abundance of undocumented and poorly documented code on GitHub. The goal of the article is to ask developers to think before they make their code public - and if you are just posting a project that you don't intend to maintain, support or document, make that clear to the end user.
I knew that the topic would be somewhat controversial but I didn't realize the level of hostility and sometimes anger (towards me specifically) it would engender. I want to take a moment to discuss some of the responses.

5 Common Problems with Technical Articles
I read and edit a lot of technical articles - generally written by developers for developers. In the past, I wrote up some guidelines for making your technical content better. This time, I want to take the opposite angle and focus on some mistakes I see all too frequently.

17 Most Beautiful (and Expensive!) Celebrity Homes
Share on Facebook
17 Most Beautiful (and Expensive!) Celebrity Homes
When you have a lot of money, it can be hard to find a good way to spend it. These celebs decided to buy the house of their dreams, or at least a nice investment.
Justin Timberlake
Justin is now the owner of an amazing penthouse at SoHo Mews in New York City. The condominium valued at about $7.6 milliion has a great view of the city as well as the Empire State Building.
Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer Aniston has owned her Beverly Hills home for a couple years now, and apparently is looking to sell. After renovating the house many times, she is looking to flip the house for over 3x the original purchase price, putting on the market at a $15 million asking price.
Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods owns a gorgeous, $60 million home on Jupiter Island in Florida. Of course the grass is amazing and there is a green nearby to hit golf balls to. Unfortunately, there may be a giant sinkhole under the dining room!
Rihanna has owned or rented a few spiffy mansions in places like LA and Aspen, but her most recent home purchase came in Barbados, where she was born and raised. The home was listed at $21.8 million and is located on One Sandy Lane near the Sandy Lane Hotel.
Katy Pery
Katy Perry holds a number of homes, but her main place of residence is believed to be a pair of adjoining houses in Hollywood Hills.

Ashton Kutcher & Mila Kunis
Kutcher just ditched his $12 million Hollywood Hills pad, electing instead to move in with Mila who is expecting a child. Their new home was bought for about $10 million and is located in Beverly Hills.
Matthew McConaughey
Matthew McConaughey used to roam around the country in an Airstream trailer, but has since bought a home in Austin for about $4 million.
Will and Jada Smith
This couple lives in a huge compound mansion in Calabasas, California, that has a lake, tennis courts, a huge garage, and a recording studio where Willow Smith's "Whip My Hair" was recorded. They did however recently list the home for sale at $42 million.
Conan O'Brien
Conan recently moved into a home in the Pacific Palisades, spending a bit less than $20 million on the place.
Jerry Seinfeld
Jerry bought his $32 million home in the Hamptons off of none other than Billy Joel. He refers to it as "laid back," and it is probably as laid back as a property of this magnitude could be.
Kim and Kanye
These two bought a house in Bel Air for about $11 million, but they don't want to move in just yet. They are renovating almost the entire building and at this point who knows exactly what it will look like.
Matt Damon
Matt Damon's mansion, filled with 35 foot high ceilings, has been described as the "best house in the Pacific Palisades" which is located near LA. He spent around $15 million on the building containing 7 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and a 5 car garage.
Oprah Winfrey
Oprah lives in an $85 million mansion located in Montecito, California. It boasts over 23,000 square feet of space (not counting the guest house!), but Oprah has decided to make significant changes to make the mansion more representative of her own personality.
Britney Spears
Britney lives in a slightly more modest home that cost 'only' about $8.5 million. The home is located in the Thousand Oaks neighborhood in the Valley, California.
Jennifer Lopez
J-Lo lives in a $10 million mansion in the Hamptons. While pretty, apparently the property is big enough that a stalker was able to live in her pool house for a week in 2013 before anyone found out about him.
Jon Bon Jovi
Jon Bon Jovi lives in a nice $22 million home in Middletown, New Jersey, which is located about 30 miles south of New York City. While that is his main home, he also owns a penthouse in Manhattan that he is currently trying to sell, listed at about $40 million.
Tom Brady and Gisele
Tom Brady and Gisele spent around $40 million building a huge mansion in LA, and now apparently aren't even going to live in it. The mansion is listed at $50 million and they plan to live in Boston, perhaps to stay true to the Patriots.

Apache Announces Cassandra 2.0
Big Data database rolls out new features and adds new powers to its query language.
The Apache Foundation has announced a new version of the Cassandra NoSQL distributed database. Cassandra, which was originally developed by Facebook, is designed for storing massive quantities of data efficiently, which has made it popular as a database solution for Big Data number-crunching.
According to Apache, "Cassandra powers massive data sets quickly and reliably without compromising performance, whether running in the cloud or partially on-premise in a hybrid data store. Its fully distributed architecture provides unparalleled fault tolerance to ensure applications will not go offline, and its linear scalability allows them to reach massive sizes while successfully handling thousands of requests per second."
New features of the 2.0 release include lightweight transactions, which help to prevent conflicts during concurrent requests; triggers, which "enable pushing performance-critical code close to the data it deals with"; and enhancements to the native query language CQL (Cassandra Query Language).
The Apache Foundation reports that the user base for Cassandra includes tech giants such as IBM, HP, Adobe, CERN, eBay, GoDaddy, and Sony.

Historically, hazardous area classification has been the responsibility of the plant electrical engineer. In reality, however, many projects were being designed with minimum input from the plant engineering. Most consulting firms would use an ultra-conservative approach with little input from process engineers and no consideration for potential cost savings. The existing national standards and guidelines are written to provide safety and flexibility of design and are difficult for the inexperienced engineer to interpret. Even for experienced engineers, this flexibility often leads to different interpretations for similar situations. In 1993, a small group of electrical engineers recognized a need for standardization without compromising safety, and formed a technical committee to address this issue. This paper presents the result of the committee's work as a corporate engineering technical guideline

Ill. mom of frozen baby given 50-year sentence
ROCKFORD, Ill. (AP) – A northern Illinois woman who admitted leaving a newborn daughter to freeze to death along a rural roadway in 2004 was sentenced Friday to 50 years in prison.
Katie Stockton, 32, faced up to 60 years in prison for the death of the infant, who became known as Baby Crystal around the Rock River Valley after her frozen remains were found. Winnebago County prosecutors dropped 11 remaining murder charges in exchange for her guilty plea in February to a single count of first-degree murder.
Before handing down the sentence, Winnebago County Judge John Truitt allowed testimony about skeletal remains of two other infants found years later in the trunk of Stockton's car, the Rockford Register Star reported (
Stockton hid her pregnancy and gave birth to the baby in secret on Dec. 17, 2004. Afterward, she stuffed the baby and soiled clothing into an orange shopping bag and placed it along a dead-end road near her parents' Rockton home.
She was questioned in the baby's death at the time, but denied she was the mother and refused to provide a DNA sample.
Detectives investigating the death years later collected evidence from a cigarette butt they saw Stockton discard, and authorities said saliva on the cigarette butt matched blood found on the clothing with Baby Crystal. Stockton was arrested in 2009 after further tests showed she was the baby's mother with a 99.96 percent certainty.
After her arrest, investigators discovered her car had been sitting in an impound lot for a year and searched it for more clues. That's when they found the skeletal remains of two other infants wrapped in cloth and stuffed in separate plastic bags and buried beneath a spare tire, chain saw and tire iron.
Forensic pathologists could not determine how the infant girls found in the trunk died or whether they were born alive. No charges have been filed in connection with those remains.

Looking for a Used Dakota in your area?
CarGurus has 4,616 nationwide Dakota listings starting at $1,000.
1997 Dodge Dakota Overview
Despite the introduction of a new generation of the popular mid-size pickup, not much had changed for the 1997 Dodge Dakota. Its look was slightly more muscular, taking its cues from the successful Dodge Ram. But underneath the big rig-like exterior, it was really the same old Dakota drivers knew and loved.
Dropping the WS trim, the 1997 Dakota came now in base, Sport, or SLT models. The three wheelbase options remained unchanged (112-inch, 124-inch, and the Club Cab's 131-inch) as did the engines -- the 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder, 120-hp, the 3.9-liter 175-hp, V6, and the 5.2-liter V8 Magnum, which returned to its former 230-horsepower. 2WD, rear anti-lock brakes, and 5-speed manual came standard, with 4WD, 4-wheel ABS, and 4-speed automatic optional.
A new addition for 1997 was dual front airbags, reinforcing the Dodge Dakota's lead in safety. Inside, the dash got an update, but still looked plastic and cheap. The cab comfortably fit three up front with standard bench seats. Optional bucket seats made room for a well-designed center console with extra storage compartments. The rear bench seat was still basically unfit for humans over the age of ten or over the size of Mini-Me and was hard to access with only the two doors, but it did provide extra storage beneath the seats.
Aside from the poor gas mileage, uncomfortable rear seats, and wide turn radius, most drivers praise the Dodge Dakota's handling and hauling capabilities. The other big selling point is the cab's roominess and driving comfort. Reviews mention the excellent braking response and relatively quiet interior.

Rayman Legends teaser brings Barbara into the fray
Ubisoft has released a pre-Gamescom teaser trailer for Rayman Legends, introducing the new character of "Barbara" in the process.
To see the new redhead go to town on some baddies with her giant axe, check out the 50-second clip below. It would appear that Barbara will be available for use in both single-player and co-op play whenever the platformer is released.
Rayman Legends is currently a Wii U exclusive, so no release frame is yet known, although Ubisoft itself has hinted that the game may be coming to additional platforms in the future.

I'm toying with two schemas and I can't decide which is more scalable. The schema is for a Q&A, and it's built in MySQL. People post questions/answers and like/dislike/favourite questions and answers. A question can have many answers/likes/dislikes, and so can an answer.
To read a question to a user both schemas require the same number of joins, but the joins are handled differently:
Schema 1
questions(id, title, body, userId)
questionLikes(id, questionId, userId)
questionDislikes(id, questionId, userId)
quetionComments(id, questionId, body, userId)
answers(id, questionId, body, userId)
answerLikes(id, answerId, userId)
answerDislikes(id, answerId, userId)
answerComments(id, answerId, userId, body)
favourites(id, questionId, userId)
This is more normalized, easier to develop for, but scalable? Seems to be a lot of repeat information. The join sequence to grab a question is to a user (we want to include his like/dislike activity)
select question
join answers
join questionLikes
join questionDislikes
join questionComments
join favouites
join answers to answerLikes
join answers to answerDislikes
join answers to answerComments (multiply answer joins by number of answers)
Schema 2
posts(id, postTypeId, userId, title, body)
postTypeId(id, postType)
comments(id, postId, userId)
votes(id, voteTypeId, userId)
voteTypeId(id, voteType)
This is less normalized and compact, seems like it would scale better, a pain in the neck with self joins and other development issues (conditional validation). The join sequence to grab a question is
select question and its answers in the same read using where @id for question, and @questionId for answers; each row, join the following:
join votes on as likes on voteType 1
join votes as dislikes on votetype 2
join comments
join favouites (multiply joins by number of rows)
So what will scale better? I know can add some additional fields to store counts so no joins are necessary. But both require the same number of joins and I cant make up my mind.

What is the 'Cost Of Labor'
The cost of labor is the sum of all wages paid to employees, as well as the cost of employee benefits and payroll taxes paid by an employer. The cost of labor is broken into direct and indirect costs. Direct costs include wages for the employees physically making a product, like workers on an assembly line. Indirect costs are associated with support labor, such as employees that maintain factory equipment but don't operate the machines themselves.
BREAKING DOWN 'Cost Of Labor'
When manufacturers set the price of a good they take the cost of labor into account. This is because they need to charge more than that good's total cost of production. If demand for a good drops or the price consumers are willing to pay for the good falls, companies must adjust their the cost of labor to remain profitable. They can reduce the number of employees, cut back on production, require higher levels of productivity, reduce indirect labor costs or reduce other factors in the cost of production.

PROs - family/group friendly, easy to learn, educational aspects are counting, process of elimination, points accumulation
CONs - bulky packaging, cheap plastic cup that is VERY noisy (suggestion: use a coozie instead)
I got this regular edition instead of one of the fancier editions that are available from time to time. I would say that the box on the regular edition is pretty prone to not being all that sturdy.. I have had to tape the corners a few times. The *limited editions* i have seen seem to be a bit more well made. When I replace this game, it will probably be with one of those just for the sturdiness factor.
That said..this is really the perfect family game. Easy for all but the youngest kids and fun for adults. It takes up little closet room when your storing it... (an issue when most kids games come in gigantic boxes)...it doesnt require a huge set up before playing (something that makes me nuts, altho doesnt seem to bother my son any)
Its really perfect.

We were very disappointed to receive a basic Yahtzee game with plain white dice and a boring cup. It was nothing at all like the product pictured, and we promptly returned it. Read morePublished 17 days ago by tec

Apr 2, 2011A truly brilliant analysis of a disturbed sociopath and a gripping commentary on Pinochet's regime; a fantastic character piece that explores the darkest depths of black humour and returns with a shining example of modern filmmaking.
Balancing black humor against allegorical indictment of the Pinochet regime's oppression on narrow stack heels, striking, very offbeat period pic Tony Manero follows a psychotic petty criminal into the depths of his crazed obsession with John Travolta's character in "Saturday Night Fever."
Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larrain's alarming Tony Manero--named not for its protagonist, but rather his ego-ideal, John Travolta's character in "Saturday Night Fever"--is another study of a cinema-struck, solitary daydreamer, albeit a particularly stunted member of the genus.
