|Character's name
|Mercedes Barcha
|Role in plot
|Mercedes Barcha was the fiance and eventual wife of the narrator. He proposed to her at Angela Vicario and Bayardo San Roman's wedding party. The narrator says that he first proposes to her as soon as she finised primary school.
|Significance of name in work
|Mercedes Barcha was the name of Gabriel Marquez's wife in real life. They were married in 1958. She supported him and their two children as he wrote. Marquez first met his future wife when he was an undergraduate student visiting his parents. He was introduced to a 13-year-old girl named Mercedes Barcha Pardo, who was of Egyptian descent. He described her as 'the most interesting person' he had ever met. After he graduated fron university, he proposed to her on a family vacation. Mercedes Barcha agreed, but said she wanted to finish school first. Their engagement lasted 14 years, during which Mercedes promised to stay true to him. Marquez frequently incorporates elements of his own life into his novels such as Chronicle of a Death Foretold and One Hundred Years of Solitude. The distinction between reality and fantasy is blurred, a common theme in Chronicle of a Death Foretold relating to the unreliability of memory. He will often incorporate real names into a mix of fictional names. This way, real events are tied more strongly to a fixed reality. Mercedes is Spanish for 'merciful'.

1. Field
This invention relates to chemical vapor sterilizers. More particularly, this invention relates to methods and apparatus for the sterilization of items by vapors generated in a small sterilizer from injected liquid sterilants.
2. State of the Art
Chemical vapor sterilizers are well known. MDT Corporation of Torrance, Calif., markets such devices under the trademark "CHEMICLAVE�," for example. Sterilizers of this type are characterized by a chamber into which a prescribed quantity of liquid sterilant chemical is introduced. The liquid is heated in the chamber, thereby creating chemical vapor sterilant. Modern systems include a reservoir for holding sufficient liquid sterilant chemical for several sterilization cycles. Sterilant is delivered in liquid form from the reservoir through a transport system to the sterilizing chamber.
Dental and medical clinics, schools, research laboratories and similar facilities often require sterilization of a few items. For small loads, a sterilizer sized to fit on a tabletop or countertop is especially advantageous.
In current chemical sterilizers, the sterilant is typically injected into the sterilizing chamber at atmospheric pressure. As a result, pockets of air or much-diluted sterilant may result in less than adequate sterilization throughout the chamber. Lengthening the exposure time is generally not a satisfactory solution.
In addition, since most facilities do not wish to invest in systems to vent the sterilizer out of doors, gases and vapors containing residual chemical sterilant components may be discharged directly into the interior of a room. The possibility exists for unacceptable levels of chemical irritants, e.g. formaldehyde, to accumulate in the room over a prolonged period.
The control systems, including the valving system, of current chemical sterilizers may also provide opportunities for undetected operator errors.
The need exists for a small chemical sterilizer which consistently provides the desired sterilization within a short turnaround time, is simple to operate, and prevents or minimizes the escape of sterilant components into the atmosphere.
The chemical sterilizer of this invention has a sealable heated sterilizer chamber supported by one or more subsystems:
(a) A sterilant injection subsystem stores the sterilant, measures a predetermined volume and injects it into the sterilizer chamber.
(b) An evacuation subsystem is engaged to the sterilizer chamber to evacuate the chamber to reduce dilution of the vaporized sterilant by air, and alternatively to pump fresh air into the sterilizer chamber to purge the spent sterilant therefrom.
(c) A purge system encompasses the evacuation means of the evacuation subsystem, but also includes means to cool and condense the spent sterilant. A waste reservoir collects the condensed sterilants, gases and vapors from the sterilizer chamber and acts as a liquid-gas separator. The gases and vapors are filtered to remove residual sterilant components, and the condensate is disposed of.
(d) A control subsystem includes appropriate valving (typically four three-way solenoid valves and at least one two-way valve); interconnecting conduits, and an electronic controller with sensor means for determining temperature, pressure, door position, valve positions and the like. The evacuation means, heater and valve positions are controlled to provide an automated chemical sterilizer with highly effective sterilization, shortened cycle time, and effective containment/treatment of chemical sterilant components. The automated system results in a sterilizer with simplified operation and reduced possibilities for operational errors.
Various embodiments of the invention may be configured to provide a chemical sterilizer in which loss of sterilant activity due to dilution with air or sterilizer gases is greatly reduced. The sterilant dose may be automatically and accurately premeasured during the prior sterilization cycle. The number of required control valves is minimized.
Several features of the invention combine to reduce the discharge of chemical sterilant components to a low level, to enhance safety and meet governmental standards.
Other benefits which may be realized by incorporating the subsystems of this invention in various embodiments include the preservation of sterilant activity which would otherwise be lost by virtue of dilution by the contained atmosphere of the sterilization chamber; the reduction of variations in sterilization conditions at different locations within the sterilization chamber; a reduction in the number of control valves required for a chemical sterilization system; the capability to automatically meter a sterilant dose for a subsequent sterilization cycle during the course of a cycle in progress, thereby reducing the time required for a series of cycles; and the overall enhancement of the sterilization procedure from the standpoints of safety and reliability.
The sterilizer of this invention is particularly in a countertop version for sterilizing relatively small loads. The sterilizer has a short turnaround time, minimal variability in sterilizing conditions, and enhanced safety. Its operation is simple and largely automated.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, the components of the sterilizer of this invention include sterilizer chamber 10 which has insulated walls 27 and a sealable door 28. Preferably, the door 28 is insulated to achieve approximately the same thermal resistance as the walls 27 to avoid uneven heating and condensation on the inside of door 28.
The sterilizer also includes a sterilant injection subsystem 60, an evacuation subsystem 61, a purge subsystem 62 and a control subsystem 63. The sterilizer components including the subsystems are enclosed in a tabletop or countertop cabinet for convenient use in medical, dental, scientific and other facilities. The only utility required is electrical power.
Sterilant injection subsystem 60 includes sterilant reservoir 16 for holding liquid sterilant chemical for delivery to the sterilizer chamber 10 via shot chamber 18. The reservoir has a filling port 50 by which sterilant may be transferred from container 51 through dispenser 52. The preferred filling port 50 and dispenser 52 have the construction and method of use as described and claimed in commonly assigned, copending U.S. Pat. application Ser. No. 468,770 filed Jan. 23, 1990, of John C. Schmoegner et al. titled RESERVOIR DISPENSING SYSTEM FOR CHEMICAL STERILIZER (identified as case 1568 in the internal files of applicant.) The apparatus of that application enables the filling of reservoir 16 to a liquid level 19 which provides vapor space 20 and prevents escape of vapors to the atmosphere. The entire disclosure of the aforesaid application Serial No. 468,770, is incorporated herein by reference.
Sterilant reservoir outlet conduit 11 leads to the third port of a first three-way solenoid valve 21. Valve 21 has a first port from which a first conduit 17 extends to sterilizer chamber 10.
An additional conduit 14 leads from vapor space 20 of sterilant reservoir 16 to a third port of a second three-way solenoid valve 22. A first conduit extends from a first port of valve 22 to sterilizer chamber 10.
A second conduit 12 connected to a second port of first three-way valve 21 extends to the lower portion, preferably the bottom, of shot chamber 18. Similarly, three-way valve 22 is connected to the top of shot chamber 18 by conduit 13. When valves 21 and 22 are activated to a first open position, permitting flow between the shot chamber 18 and reservoir 16, sterilant solution will flow by gravity through conduit 11, valve 21, conduit 12, shot chamber 18, conduit 13, valve 22, and into conduit 14 to equilibrate at the liquid level 19 of sterilant in reservoir 16. This "open loop" flow path ensures rapid and complete filling of shot chamber 18 and conduits 12 and 13.
The combined volume of the shot chamber 18 and conduits 12 and 13 provides the desired quantity of sterilant to be delivered to sterilizer chamber 10 in a single sterilizing cycle.
The shot chamber 18 is situated above the sterilizer chamber 10, and the sterilant reservoir 16 is situated above the shot chamber 18 to ensure rapid flow by gravity from reservoir 16 to shot chamber 18 and then to sterilizer chamber 10.
Preferably, a filter 30 is placed in conduit 11 to prevent any solids present in the reservoir contents from reaching and clogging or damaging the solenoid valves.
Following pre-evacuation of sterilizer chamber 10 by vacuum pump 47, valve 23 to the vacuum pump is closed and liquid sterilant is introduced into the sterilizer chamber 10 by simultaneously activating both valves 21 and 22 to close the flow paths from reservoir 16 and open them to flow between sterilizer chamber 10 and shot chamber 18. Liquid sterilant in conduits 12 and 13 and in shot chamber 18 flows rapidly and completely into chamber 10 by gravity, because of the open loop low pressure equalization. Valves 21 and 22 are then deactivated and shot chamber 18 and conduits 12 and 13 are refilled in preparation for the next sterilization cycle.
The evacuation subsystem 61 includes a small vacuum pump 47 having its inlet 48 connected by conduit 42 to third three-way solenoid valve 23 and its outlet 49 connected by conduit 43 to fourth three-way valve 24. The other two ports of three-way valve 23 lead via conduit 40 to sterilizer chamber 10, and via conduit 41 to the atmosphere. Filter 46 removes particulate matter from air drawn into conduit 41 during purging of the sterilizing chamber.
The other two ports of three-way valve 24 are connected via conduit 45 to sterilizer chamber 10, and via conduit 44 to waste reservoir 36. The latter is part of purge subsystem 62.
The Thomas Series 107 vacuum pump manufactured by Thomas Industries, Inc. of Sheboygan, Wis. is particularly well adapted to this invention. Vacuum pump model number 107 CA 16 is capable of quickly attaining and maintaining a vacuum of at least -7 (minus 7) pounds per square inch gauge (PSIG), which at sea level is essentially equivalent to an absolute pressure of about 400 mm Hg. Pre-evacuating the sterilizer chamber to this pressure will remove nearly one-half of the air, resulting in a shorter "fill time" for injecting the liquid sterilant into the sterilizer chamber.
For example, the fill time may be reduced from 20 minutes to about 7 minutes by use of pre-evacuation. Furthermore, the reduced air mass in the chamber permits a greater quantity of sterilant to be used. The reduced dilution by air enhances the sterilizing activity of the vaporized sterilant.
In addition to waste reservoir 36, the purge subsystem also includes conduit 33 leading from sterilized chamber 10 to solenoid valve 32 and thence to a massive aluminum cold bar 31, through cooling coil 29, and through conduit 34 to waste reservoir 36. Sterilant vapors passing to the aluminum bar 31 and cooling coil 29 are quickly cooled to approximately room temperature, condensed and delivered to the waste reservoir 36. Air and other gasses pass via conduit 35 to filter 39 where the small quantities of sterilant components such as formaldehyde and other contaminants are removed. The filtered gas is discharged to the atmosphere. A liquid level 37 is maintained in waste reservoir 36 to provide vapor space 38. Discharge through conduit 58 of condensed sterilant is controlled by conventional means, not shown, to maintain the proper liquid level 37.
Cold bar 31 is a massive aluminum bar bored for fluid flow. It acts as a passive heat sink for quickly absorbing a large part of the spent sterilant's enthalpy. For a small tabletop sterilizer, an aluminum bar of 15 to 36 cubic inches will provide the required heat capacity.
A preferred exhaust filter system for removing residual chemical components from the waste vapors is described and claimed in a commonly assigned, copending U.S. Pat. application Ser. No. 463,442, filed Jan. 11, 1990, titled EXHAUST FILTER SYSTEM FOR STERILIZERS of John C. Schmoegner et al. The entire disclosure of now U.S. Pat. No. 5,022,898, is incorporated herein by reference. This filter system includes a liquid trap filter for capturing condensed fluids, and a canister filled with a reactive or inert chemical composition which detoxifies or captures spent sterilant components of the exhaust gases.
In practice, a pressure relief valve is installed on chamber 10 or an attached conduit such as conduit 40, as required by law and good engineering practice.
In addition, a check valve may be included in conduit 45 to ensure that sterilant vapors will not pass from chamber 10 to the vacuum pump 47. Such vapors may adversely affect the materials of construction of the pump.
A control subsystem 63 includes electronic control unit 25, pressure/temperature measurement means 26, and other measurement means, not shown. It is understood that electrical and electronic control wires, not shown, connect unit 25 to the various solenoid valves 21, 22, 23, 24 and 32, vacuum pump 47, temperature and pressure measurement devices and the like. Control unit 25 controls the sequence of operations necessary to perform the desired sterilization.
FIG. 2 graphically depicts the typical sterilizer chamber gauge pressure at each step in the sterilization process, following loading of the chamber. The figure also shows the position of the various solenoid valves 21, 22, 23, 24 and 32, as well as the condition of the vacuum pump means 47, sterilizer chamber door lock (typically a solenoid type lock), and sterilizer-chamber heater 56. The latter two components are not shown in FIG. 1, but are well-known in the field of sterilizers. Typically, one or more electrical band heaters surround the cylindrical portion of the sterilizer chamber, lying between the metal wall of the chamber and the external insulation.
As already indicated, each three-way solenoid valve has three ports for flow. It is understood that the possible valve positions include:
(a) a "de-energized" position in which fluid flow may take place between the second port and the third port, and
(b) an "energized" or "open" position in which flow may take place between the first port and the second port.
While the three-way valves may also provide (c) a "totally closed" position to restrict flow in all ports, or (d) a "totally open" position in which flow is permitted in all ports, or (e) a position in which fluid flow may take place between the first port and the third port, none of these valve positions is required or used in the presently preferred embodiments of this invention. Use of valves having more than two flow positions may be detrimental by introducing the possibility for unsatisfactory sterilization or other hazard resulting from erroneous valve positioning.
The stages of a typical sterilization cycle proceeding from a "cold start" are shown in FIG. 2. The cycle is begun with all solenoid valves in the deenergized position, the door 28 lock de-energized, vacuum pump 47 off, and heater 56 off. Valves 21 and 22 are in a de-energized condition, so shot chamber 18 is already filled with sterilant. Upon turning the power on, solenoid valve 32 is opened, chamber heater 56 is energized to begin heating, and the door lock is energized to an unlocked position.
Vacuum pump 47 is also started and pumps atmospheric air through filter 46, conduits 41, 42, 43, and 45 into chamber 10. Air may leave chamber 10 through the door and/or through valve 32, which is open. Control panel indicators such as lights indicate whether there is sufficient sterilant in reservoir 16, whether liquid level 19 is too high, and whether canister filter 39 is in place.
Materials to be sterilized, typically in a tray, are then placed in chamber 10, and door 28 is closed and locked. During this period, the sterilizer chamber 10 is unpressurized, i.e. at 0 PSIG, and it is being heated to a desired vaporization temperature. The temperature selected will depend upon the particular sterilant in use, but typically is about 132� C. for common chemical sterilants largely composed of alcohols with smaller concentrations of ketones and formaldehyde.
Following closure of door 28, solenoid valves 23 and 24 are "exercised," i.e., cycled on and off several times, typically five times, to dislodge any particles such as formaldehyde deposits, in the valves and to assure operability of seals.
Solenoid valves 23 and 24 are then simultaneously activated in an evacuate step to open flow of gases, e.g. air from sterilizer chamber 10 through conduit 40, valve 23, conduit 42, vacuum pump 47, conduit 43, valve 24 and conduit 44 to waste reservoir 36. The gases are discharged from reservoir 36 through filter 39.
Two-way solenoid valve 32 is also deactivated to a closed position, and chamber 10 is evacuated to a pressure of about -5 (minus 5) to -8 (minus 8) PSIG. The chamber pressure at the end of the evacuation step is shown in FIG. 2 as -7 (minus 7) PSIG.
The "dump" or "sterilant injection" step is then begun by simultaneously activating solenoid valves 21 and 22, as previously described, to permit sterilant in shot chamber 18 and conduits 12 and 13 to flow into sterilizer chamber 10. Metal instruments in the chamber quickly absorb heat to create an additional small vacuum effect, which speeds the already rapid filling process.
Vaporization of the sterilant increases the total pressure in chamber 10. At a preset chamber pressure of 3 to 12 PSIG, typically 4 PSIG, solenoid valves 21 and 22 are deactivated to open the shot chamber 18 and associated conduits to sterilant flow from reservoir 16.
At the moment valves 21, 22 are deactivated, the higher pressure in shot chamber 18 creates backflow through filter 30 for an instant, and this backflow clears particulate matter from filter 30. The backflow vapors are quickly condensed and the pressure equalizes. As it does so, liquid sterilant refills the shot chamber and associated conduits in preparation for the next sterilization cycle.
The pressure in chamber 10 continues to rise to the vapor pressure of sterilant and air, at the extant temperature, typically 20-25 PSIG at a controlled temperature of about 132� C. The pressure is dependent upon the quantities of sterilant and residual air in the chamber, the sterilant composition, the chamber volume, and the temperature. As the temperature, and associated vapor pressure, equilibrate at the desired sterilization value, the exposure time of the materials undergoing sterilization is measured and controlled. Typically, the exposure times may be in the range of 7 to 20 minutes, depending upon the load size. The shorter exposure time is useful for sterilizing a small number of unwrapped medical or dental instruments.
Upon reaching the desired exposure time, a "vent" step is initiated. Two-way solenoid valve 32 is activated to an open position. Pressurized vapors flow from chamber 10 through bar 31 and cooling coil 29, and are cooled to nearly room temperature, i.e. 25-30� C. and condensed. The condensate is collected in waste reservoir 36 for subsequent disposal. Gases and vapors pass through filter 39 to remove traces of sterilant components. The chamber pressure falls to 0 PSIG as the spent sterilant is discharged.
When the chamber 10 attains a reduced pressure, preferably approximately atmospheric, solenoid valve 24 is activated so that the vacuum pump 47, operating since the "warm up" step, begins to pump atmospheric air from filter 46 through conduit 41, valve 23, conduit 42, pump 47, conduit 43, valve 24 and conduit 45 to the sterilizing chamber 10. The entering airstream is lower in temperature than the chamber or its contents. As it enters at the back of the chamber, it tends to drop, being heavier than the hot vapors. The air is heated by contact with the chamber walls and by mixing with the hot vapors and subsequently rises and mixes further with and dilutes the hot vapors. In a small chemical sterilizer, a seven minute continuous purge is generally adequate to reduce the chemical constituents of the chamber gases to below OSHA requirements. Without this purge, a much longer time is required to meet this standard.
Following the timed purge, valve 24 and pump 47 are deactivated to cut off the purge air and permit the chamber to equilibrate by reventing at atmospheric temperature.
In a subsequent first "hold" condition, the door lock is activated to open the door and permit the removal of sterilized items. This "hold" condition permits initiation of another sterilization cycle with a shortened "warm up" time.
In a second, optional "hold" condition, the heater 56 is also deactivated to cool the chamber.
If desired, the entire sterilizer can be deactivated to return it to the original "off" condition.
The control system may be set to automatically start and shut down the sterilizer at any desired time, so that it is energized only during working hours, for instance.
FIGS. 3 through 14 show the various software routines useful in the control subsystem of the sterilizer.
The "powerup" routine of FIG. 3 includes a cycle counter and a counter for the number of cycles which filter 39 has undergone. The system may be set to disable the sterilizer when a preset number of cycles following filter regeneration is reached. This routine also energizes the chamber door lock and sets the pressure gauge.
The MAIN LOOP routine of FIG. 4 controls the process from warmup to purge and vent, using the warmup, evacuation process, purge, vent and timer-counter routines shown in FIGS. 5-10.
The various control routines for testing, maintenance checks, error disposition, diagnostics and valve fault are shown in FIGS. 11-14.
One important aspect of this invention is that of increasing the concentration of sterilant vapor in the sterilization chamber. With pre-evacuation, the sterilizing vapor will be composed of approximately equal parts of sterilant and air, by volume, based on the sterilization at 132� C. and 25 PSIG pressure. Pre-evacuation to -4 PSIG increases the sterilant vapor concentration to about 64 percent, pre-evacuation to -7 PSIG increases the sterilant vapor concentration to about 75 percent, and pre-evacuation to -10 PSIG increases the sterilant concentration to about 85 percent.
This increased concentration effectively enhances the sterilization action, and reduces the possibility for "air pockets" remaining in the chamber, and producing inadequate exposure of the materials to be sterilized.
Evacuation to very low pressures, i.e., near a complete vacuum, is not generally practical without a very large capacity vacuum pump, because of the great increase in time required to obtain smaller increments in pressure. Furthermore, the additional increase in effectiveness becomes insignificant.
Incorporation of the vacuum pump into the system for evacuating the sterilizer chamber enables another procedural step to reduce sterilant component emissions and to simultaneously shorten the cycle time. Following the sterilization exposure period, discharge of the spent sterilant from the sterilization chamber is assisted by directing air from the vacuum pump outlet to chamber 10. The introduced air increases the pressure, increasing the flow to the condensing elements 31, 29. During this purging period, the continuous dilution of spent vapors quickly reduces their concentration to a sufficiently low level to meet current governmental, e.g. OSHA, standards.
Another feature of this sterilizer is the automatic cleaning of filter 30. This cleaning occurs once each cycle, following injection or dumping of liquid sterilant into the sterilizer chamber 10. As this occurs, the pressures in sterilizer chamber 10 and shot chamber 18 immediately equilibrate at a pressure somewhat greater than atmospheric. As a result, when three-way solenoid valves 21 and 22 are simultaneously shut to the sterilizer chamber 10 and opened to the sterilant reservoir 16, an instantaneous pulse of pressurized sterilant vapors and air will flow back through conduit 11 and filter 30, blowing any solids from the inlet, i.e. reservoir side of the filter. A similar pulse occurs in valve 22 and conduit 14, blowing liquid sterilant back into reservoir 16. This emptying of conduit 14 permits the subsequent rapid filling of the shot chamber 18. Otherwise, the liquid in conduit 14 and in reservoir 16 are at the same level, tending to trap vapor and gases in shot chamber 18, i.e., between the two liquid heads, and preventing or slowing its filling.
Use of three-way valves in the arrangement described herein minimizes the number of valves required and enables efficient interaction between the valves and other components of each subsystem.
Reference herein to details of the illustrated embodiments is not intended to limit the scope of the appended claims.

The IC Classroom has a new SmartBoard - a great tool. But, it also has regular whiteboards. The pens and eraser are not interchangeable.
The "pens" and eraser need to remain in the tray for the SmartBoard to work properly. They cannot be used on the regular whiteboard. Conversely, Dry Erase pens cannot be used on the new whiteboard as it will cause damage to our new instruction tool. Your cooperation is very much appreciated.

unreal, sell some assets for 400 million, a billion more in cash and here we stand at the ok coral
Wait for what they are going to do with the cash! Selling above book value is good thing, but where the money would go is more important. And you will know that on July 30th. I am pretty sure that analysts will ask about that on Q&A session if the company won't mention it in press release. It is insane to sit on that much cash and pay 8.75% interest on 2016 notes ... $52mill/year or so! After all, their CAPEX will be smaller, 2014 prices will be higher for PRB and Met.
I just hope that the management will be more open about it instead of saying "we are looking for best ways to invest the cash to benefit shareholders".

Comments about 'My view: Circuit Court's Obamacare decision could have huge consequences'
- Oldest first

Interestingly the piece is written by the Heritage Foundation who designed
Obamacare as a Republican alternative to Bill Clinton's healthcare plan.
The full D.C. circuit will overturn this ruling by two hyper-partisan GOP judges, thus there will not be a split in appellate court rulings, and no need for the Supreme Court to hear the case.

The GOP strategy these days seems clear...Obamacare is such a bad law that the most effective way to kill it is to let the vast majority of Americans feel its pain. Obama has tried his best to shelter as many people as possible from its ill effects through executive orders that bypass Congress. Various mandates clearly written into the bill have been delayed (without proper authority) and a wide range of groups have been exempted from many of its provisions (again contrary to its authors' intent).
It was clear to the laws architects that they needed some powerful incentives to force states to set up their own exchanges. One of those incentives written specifically into the law was the applicability of subsidies only to people who lived in states that did what the federal government wanted and set up an exchange. When the majority of states balked at that part of the law and instead relied on the federal exchanges, the administration is changing its tune and wanting to ignore a clearly worded statute in the law.

The Supreme Court, in their previous Obamacare ruling (when the entire bill was
challenged) noted even in the dissent by the conservative justices that the bill
is intended to provide subsidies to people on all exchanges including the
federal one, so it is highly likely that they will rule in favor of the
administration on this.
If they should rule the other way, that doesn't destroy Obamacare, what it does is it creates a situation similar to the Medicaid expansion where all states will pay in but only states that set up their exchanges would get the subsidies. Those mostly include liberal states (plus Kentucky Kynect). This would actually be a major win politically for Democrats because they would instantly campaign in those other 36 states to set up their own exchanges so that their people can get subsidies too and what Republican wants to run against that (at least with the Medicaid expansion Republicans can say "oh the states have to pay 10% in later years and we can't afford that", that's not an excuse for the subisides).

@Frozen Fractals "a major win politically for the Democrats"
The law was written as it was precisely in order to bring about the political pressure you describe. (Yes, it was done intentionally, and I'm still searching for the honest Democrat who will admit it.) What they missed in their calculations is the immense unpopularity of Obamacare. More politicians are now running away from it than are willing to fight for it. They fear the voters.

Oh Good . . . Another Heritage Foundation piece.
The Heritage Foundation BTW is one of at least three Right-Wing phony "Think Tanks" funded by the Koch brothers.
And of course, Koch Brothers' employees have a different take on reality.
Reading what they say is kind of like reading one of Orson Scott Card's alternate histories . . . except Card doesn't pretend his stories are factual.

Making kids healthy school lunches is unpopular with Republicans and so is
Obamacare. Making war is popular with Republicans. Giving tax breaks to the rich
is popular with Republicans and taxing the working class is popular with
republicans. Cutting healthcare costs for the working class is unpopular with
Republicans but raising prices of health care is popular with republicans. Guns
are popular with Republicans but protecting citizens is not.
The defeat of Obamacare will cost American tax payers FAR MORE......OOOH but that is OK because the working class will pay for it.

Mega Gainer
Weight Gainer shakes have been undergoing a rapid evolution in the past few years. Until recently most weight gainers were little more than glorified protein powders with a doubled or tripled serving size, when you got right down to it. A typical gainer was just a whey protein base, with massive amounts of maltodextrin carbs, sometimes modest amounts of vitamins, then the serving size was increased as high as the brand dared, to get the protein, carb and calorie numbers up high enough to compete with the next brand's gainer. Some of these products ended up a serving size that's close to a pound of powder per shake. A product like that might help you gain weight in general, but if it's lean body mass increases your after, you can do better, and you should.
Fast forward to 2009, and it's well known that you need a lot more than just protein, carbs and sheer calories to build quality mass. Now, sure, you do need the right ratio of protein to carbs to calories, but if you're not also taking advantage of super-nutrients like creatine, BCAA's and glutamine, you're walking away from potential and leaving results on the table.
Dymatize High Protein Mega Gainer is one of the newer generation weight gainers and a big improvement over older formulas. No ridiculous serving size, no over the top carb count but all the right mass-builders like creatine, BCAAs and glutamine. Although weight gainers have been a stagnant segment of the protein powder market, High Protein Mega Gainer is seeing lots of repeat orders from apparently very well-satisfied customers. Add a tub to your cart and bring your gains into the 21st century, too.

Product Description
"There is a reason a book makes it to a sixth edition. This is the definitive book on wilderness medicine. It is an excellent, thorough book on critical and exciting concepts in this still expanding realm. The topics are concise yet cover a broad spectrum of environments and clinical situations not commonly seen. A number of the subjects are not exclusive to wilderness situations and are applicable to everyday life in the emergency room and hospital. Although the book is large and heavy, possibly limiting its use in the field, the online version (access is provided with the purchase of the book) may be a viable option for those with portable devices." - Michael D. Zwank, MD, RDMS, FACEP(University of Minnesota Medical School) Doody 4 stars!
"When on vacation, who knows when you might need to treat a Gila-monster bite or use dental floss to close scalp lacerations? 'Wilderness Medicine,' edited by Paul S. Auerbach, professor of surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine's emergency division, has the answers." - Laura Landro, Wall Street Journal

It is hard to be too positive on the content of this book but the online access won't do you much good unless you are sitting in your comfortable office. I would probably buy this if I could get a full content CD. As it is since I have access to the book online it won't help me much to own a copy.
I am new to Kindle but that format doesn't seem to be useful for a reference text.
Interestingly at this time (12/20/2011) you can get the book cheaper at the ELSEVIer site than on Amazon ( not the usual case).
It is true that this book will not be the version that you'll put in your go-bag to take with you into the wild, but it's a great read to study before you go and there are other, more compact, versions by the same author that will fit nicely into your trauma bag. That's what I'm planning on doing and using this outstanding volume to study up on everything else.It isn't just about wilderness medicine and how to treat issues while on a expedition, it has procedures for common things that are nice to review if you haven't done it in a while.
Buy this and never want to for any medical information again.
As I write this review, the Auerbach work is now in it's Sixth Edition. In the field of Scientific Medicine, the only comparison I can make is with the extraordinary Merck Manual of Diagnosis and Therapy. The Merck 19th edition of 3754 pages is a much more compact volume than this Auerbach work. But each has incomparable scientific and medical information, with the Auerbach book providing hands on clinical care for every possible and impossible environment and circumstance.
Wilderness Medicine is 2277 pages in a large size hard bound volume that you will wish could always be with you. However unless you carry it in a backpack or digitalize it, it is not an easily portable creation. There is a much smaller field companion edition but it cannot compare with this vast medical science compendium of the parent Wilderness Medicine. I cannot overstate the wealth of information both academic and practical that this book contains. The more you read it the more it continues to surprise and perhaps shock in its coverage of medical, environmental, survival and practical science and skills in virtually every possible setting and some settings that are impossible for most people. If you find a medical or survival subject not contained in this book please let me know. Don't worry if you will undertaking a Space Expedition, as this volume even includes Space Medicine for those who may be contemplating such an adventure (currently not that many of us).
There is a scene from the 1960 H.G. Wells Time Machine movie (somewhat absent from the Wells book) where 3 books are missing from the library of the Time Traveler when he again leaves. The thought is what 3 books did he take to a world without any books and where human knowledge is so decimated and reduced. If this book would have been in his library I think he would have chosen it. Wells would probably have laughed at my statement since I do not think Wells took his own stories too seriously, yet I also think he would agree after reading Wilderness Medicine that he must have his copy . Remember as an old man Wells obtained a Doctor of Science degree.
At this point you may gather that I consider the title Wilderness Medicine to be misplaced.
It is.This Wilderness Medicine is an Encyclopedia of Clinical Practice of General Medicine including Emergency Surgery, of Survival Skills and Equipment, of practical and explicit advice and information on how to cope with living in our world today. Wilderness Medicine appears to be a creation of at least 211 Contributors. There are 114 Chapters and an Index and an Appendix on Drug Stability in the Wilderness. The book is well taught with voluminous charts, tables, figures, photographs, and clinical presentations.
This is in actuality a total science textbook on a combination of Earth Science, Physiology, Emergency and General Medicine and Procedures and related technology and survival skills. Physicians and any person who knows how to read can gain lifelong valuable information, ability, understanding and knowledge by reading this book and having it available when needed. To master the entire contents is probably a lifetime of devotion. Get this book and get out of it all you can. Let me know what you think and if you disagree with me please tell me.

Celebrity Summit Cruise Review by tipofthehook: Summit - Alaska
Overall Member Rating
Summit - Alaska
Destination: Alaska
Embarkation: Vancouver
First cruise with Celebrity and extremely happy with the availability of spa and theatre seating. Fast room service, no matter what time of day, although we were slightly disappointed with the dining room food quality. Dining room wait staff, however, was very efficient.
Fast embarkation from Vancouver and no problem with obtaining luggage tags from porters at cruise ship terminal and basically walking on without a delay. We were on board by 1:15 pm and the ticket said boarding wouldn't commence until 2:00 pm. Maybe we were lucky, but we had excellent weather.
In Juneau on Sept 18th we had to go back to the ship to shed our coats and heavy shirts because the weather was so hot. The White Pass and Yukon Rail tour out of Skagway was excellent and we would highly recommend this excursion.
We enjoyed the masquerade party in the Bar at the Edge and were prepared with masks that we brought from home however the masks made by the cruisers on board were very well More done.
The verandah room was well worth the money when we were able to stand out on our balcony at Hubbard Glacier and watch the glaciers calving while getting a sun tan, it was terrific. Less

PROS - First, The English Standard Version (ESV) is a great translation. It is an essentially literal translation and reads much better in its flow than the NASB while maintaining a literal translation unlike the NIV. Second, this is a calfskin leather Bible that feels great, smells like leather, and is small enough to easily take into the pulpit or in your briefcase.
CONS - First is that the words bleed through nearly the entire Bible especially in the gospels where the words of Christ are in red. Second, the paper used for the pages is not top quality Bible paper as in the Cambridge editions. Third, no cross references.
I would urge you to wait before buying this Bible until Crossway is able to correct these problems. A Crossway official e-mailed me and said they were a work in progress and that they are hoping to make the ESV a popular and beautiful Bible to buy. I hope so myself. May God be glorified in His Word!
Firstly my comparison - I compared 50 difficult verses. The NASB95 and ESV were way way out in front of all other versions in accuracy. I gave the NASB95 a couple of extra marks over the ESV, but there's not a lot in it.
Secondly, literalness. On a word for word basis the ESV actually seems a little more literal than the NASB95 in that it is much more thorough in translating all the little words, the "ands" and "buts" and so on, as well as allowing sentences to run on where they do in the original. On the other hand, the fact that it is a warmed over RSV shows through in a lot of verses that should ideally be re-worked in NASB style. However, the ESV sometimes seems to try harder in consistantly rendering the same Greek word as the same word in English - but not always, sometimes the NASB is more consistent. Conclusion - The ESV is more literal on the "forest scale", but the NASB is more literal in the "tree scale".
However, the NASB appears to be quite a bit more accurate with tenses. Sometimes these verses have important theological significance. e.g. Acts 13:48 NASB "had been appointed", and Mt 18:18 NASB "shall have been bound" are more accurate than the ESV equivilents which are carry overs from the RSV (and KJV).
Thirdly, readability. People are talking about the ESV being more readable than the NASB. I don't think there's a lot in it. The ESV has it's fair share of bloopers where the English is strained and the NASB is readable. Sometimes the NASB's lessor readability increases its literalness and correctness. Conclusion: I personally can't see the difference.Read more ›
(NOTE: I don't see the "ink bleed" problems mentioned in an older review. I just purchased this, December 2014, so maybe the publishers finally addressed that problem. Of course, it IS "Bible paper" - thin - so there is a slight image of the next page, but it is not distracting.)
I have read virtually every English translation that has been published, and this has become my favorite - one that satisfies every quality that I desire in a Bible.

Is there an intrinsic which allows one to add all of the elements in a lane? I am using Neon to multiply 8 numbers together, and I need to sum the result. Here is some paraphrased code to show what I'm currently doing (this could probably be optimised):
int16_t p[8], q[8], r[8];
int32_t sum;
int16x8_t pneon, qneon, result;
p[0] = some_number;
p[1] = some_other_number;
//etc etc
pneon = vld1q_s16(p);
q[0] = some_other_other_number;
q[1] = some_other_other_other_number;
//etc etc
qneon = vld1q_s16(q);
result = vmulq_s16(p,q);
sum = ((int32_t) r[0] + (int32_t) r[1] + ... //etc );
Is there a "better" way to do this?

I wrote a really simple html and JavaScript file to start teaching myself AngularJS. I was following a video tutorial and copied the video's code exactly and the person in the video didn't have any errors.
All I have is an html file with the following very simple code:
The event scope variable is defined in the EventController file as so:Code:

 {{event.name}}

eventsApp is a module defined in app.js as so:Code:'use strict'; eventsApp.controller('EventController', function EventController($scope) { $scope.event = { name: 'Angular Boot Camp', date: '1/1/2013', time: '10:30 am' }; } );
As you can see, really simple stuff! But when I run it in the browser I get the following error in the console:Code:'use strict'; var eventsApp = angular.module('eventsApp', []);
Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function
I get this in the controller file right at the call to the controller() function:
What I've tried so far
1) Removing the app.js file. Removing it gives me the error that eventsApp is undefined in EventController.js. So clearly, app.js is being recognized alright.
2) Removing the angular library, which gives me the error that there is no defined function called "controller"
3) Removing the jquery, underscore and bootstrap files, which changes nothing
4) I thought at first that eventsApp wasn't a real variable, (debunked by (1) ), so I tried putting this only in the EventController.js file:
This generated no error at all.Code:eventsApp = 1;
Any suggestions?

Electrical problem
2005 Volkswagen Jetta 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 80K miles
Trying to figure out why the trunk will not open from the trunk release in the drivers door. It will open with the key fob but not with the switch. That is a two switch setup: one for the fuel tank and one for the trunk. The fuel tank works fine.
Is there a seperate fuse for the trunk switch or just a bad switch?

Cardinals CB Patrick Peterson: 'I'll continue to mentor Tyrann Mathieu'
The Arizona Cardinals made a buzzworthy selection with the No. 69 pick in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft Friday night, taking talented, yet troubled former LSU defensive back Tyrann Mathieu.
Despite a stellar 2011 season (77 tackles, 5 forced fumbles, 4 recovered fumbles, 2 interceptions and 2 punt return touchdowns) in which he went on to be a Consensus All-American and Heisman Trophy finalist, Mathieu came into the draft with a bit of a checkered past.
Before the 2012 season, the "Honey Badger" was kicked off the LSU football team for a violation of team rules related to repeated failed drug tests.
Still, the Cardinals believed Mathieu, who hasn't played competitive football in over a year, could be an instant contributor under the right guidance. And it doesn't look like Steve Keim and Co. will have to look far in the guidance department.
Two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Patrick Peterson was Mathieu's teammate at LSU in 2010 and said he was beyond excited by Friday's news.
"Honestly, this is by far one of the happiest days of my life," Peterson said in a conference call. "It feels like I got drafted again when I saw his name pop up across the board. For him to have another opportunity to do what he loves is unbelievable.
"Going back seven months ago, he said his dream was to play with me once again no matter how it came. He said that was definitely his dream and his dream came true."
It's a dream that came to fruition likely in part because of the advice Peterson shared with the Cardinals' front office.
"They did talk to me throughout the process trying to figure out what kind of kid he was and how he was as a teammate," said Peterson. "I told them, 'I'm willing to put my neck on the line for the kid. I promise he'll walk a straight line and arrow. He won't give you any problems.'"
Peterson, who worked out with his former teammate in the Valley leading up to the NFL Draft, admitted that he wants to see the defensive standout succeed with the Cardinals and will do what it takes to help make the transition process easier.
"I was asked if I'd continue being his mentor," said Peterson. "It's something I'd love to do, as well. And, it's something he wants me to do as well, just to continue to guide him."

What keeps us captive to disappointment, disillusionment, and despair?
All we need to be women of the kingdom we already have in our possession. All of those external things that can be wrong in life-negative relationships, bad habits,
dishonesty, debts, fear and anger-are reflections of a much deeper issue. It is time for us to see ourselves as God Almighty sees us. Time to stop allowing others to dictate our value and worth. Time for us to take off the masks that disguise the truth about ourselves and to get real with God. He knows all about our hurt and pain. He knows that we struggle when we have to wait on Him. He also knows that it is during our times of struggling and waiting and wondering that we develop character that will last for a lifetime. There is a big plan at work that we can't see right now. According to Romans 8:28, God is working everything together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. Can you believe that?
