This invention relates to new and useful improvements in methods for packaging materials in bags. More particularly the invention relates to new and useful improvements in methods for packing material in bags and packages and then sealing same under a Vacuum.
'I'he principal object of the present invention is to provide a novel method for packaging and preserving commodities in an air-tight package from which the atmosphere has been exhausted prior to final sealing or closing of the package.
Another object of the invention is to provide an tir-tight package produced by exhausting air through a valve provided in a filled, end or topsealed package and then sealing said valve.
Another object of the invention is to provide a novel apparatus or mechanism for effecting the exhaustion of atmosphere from the packages for finally and hermgcally sealing the same.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a novel bag or package structure which is particularly adaptable to the aforesaid packaging method or process; and
A further object is to provide a novel method cr process for producing such bags or packages.
These and other objects of the invention and the various features and details of arrangement and steps therein are hereinafter fully set forth and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 11 is a fragmentary perspective view of a package sealed in accordance with the present invention.
Figure 12 is a view in perspective of the package shown in Figure l1 with the top portion thereof folded down and secured for delivery to a customer; and
Figures 13, 14 and 15 are respectively fragmentary perspective views illustrating certain modifications of the invention.
Referring now more particularly to Figure 1 of the drawings, the bag or container contemplated by the present invention may be made by drawing a web of paper or other flexible material I from a supply roll and between a pair of opposed rolls 2 and 3, the upper roll 2 of which is provided with suitably located cutting or punching dies 4 arranged to cut 0r punch pairs of openings 5 in said web I at predetermined intervals therealong.
It is important to point out at this time that the pairs of openings 5 are formed in the web I and spaced therealong so that the transverse axes of adjacent pairs of said openings 5 are spaced apart a distance longitudinally of the'web I equal to the length of the bag desired. It is further pointed out that the transverse width of the openings 5 of each pair is equal to twice the depth of the reentrant folds provided by the bellows side walls to be formed and these openings 5 of each pair are spaced relative to each other and the web I transversely thereof so that when the bellows-folded bag tube is later formed none of the material of the web I resides at the bellwsfolded reentrant portions in the region of the bottom or top end closure area of the bag to be formed.
After the formation of the openings 5 as above described, adhesive is applied to the surface of the web I surrounding said openings 5, for exampe, by a roll 6 from a paste box l, and a web 8 of heat-fusible or thermoplastic material, such as "Pliolm or the like, of width corresponding to that of the web I is drawn from a second sup. ply roll, the two webs I and 8 then passing beneath a roll 9 and duplexed in relatively offset relation with respect to each other according to any one of several methods commonly employed in the bag industry.
After duplexing as aforesaid the composite or duplex web then passes between a pair of opposed rollers I0 and II, the upper of which has a projection or punch I2 on its periphery arranged to penetrate or die out a relatively small valve aperture or opening I3 through the duplexed webs I and 8. On the other hand, the lower roller II has in its periphery a recess I4 arranged to register with and receive the projection or punch I2 as it penetrates the webs. This construction and arrangement is best illustrated in Figure 2 of the drawings.
At this time it should be pointed out that the location of the rollers I and II, as well as their diameter, is such that one valve opening I3 will be formed in each bag at a point substantially centrally transversely of the front face thereof and adjacent though well spaced from its upper or open end of the bag, for example, as in the bag shown in Figure 3.
In lieu of the punched valve opening I3 and in order to eliminate the necessity for disposing of the material punched out by the punch I2, the valve may be formed by cutting the web to produce what might be called a flap valve therein such as indicated at I3a in Figure 13 of the drawings.
'I'he duplex web is now brought over or around a forming plate I5 of conventional form having the usual tuckers I6 and arranged to form a tube having reentrant or bellows-folded side walls with the opposite edge portions of the web 8 in overlapping relation along the upper side or face of said tube. During this phase of the formation of the tube the edge portions of the outer web I are held apart or out of lapped relation by a heated sealing element II which is interposed between said edge portions of the outer web I so as to afford direct contact of said sealing element II with the lapped edge seam portions of the inner heat-fusible web 8 to thereby effectively and permanently seal said lapped seam portions.
The tube with its longitudinally sealed inner web 8 next passes between a pair of rolls I8 and I9 which operate to now bring the edge portion of the outer web I into lapped relation in which relation they are secured by means of adhesive previously applied to the inner surface of the overlapping edge portion of said web I as indicated at 20.
The thus longitudinally sealed tube next passes between a pair of rolls 2I and 22, the roll 2I of which carries a cutting knife or blade 23 arranged and operable to sever sections from the tube along lines coincident with the transverse axes of each pair of the now covered openings 5 previously described. These tube sections then pass successively beneath one or more rolls 24 and into a bottom end sealing mechanism which is arranged so as to grip or clamp each tube section as it is severed from the tube.
This bottom end sealing mechanism comprises a number of grips or clamps 25 which move through the end sealing mechanism in opposing engagement with each of the tube sections and in addition to these grips or clamps 25 several transverse heated sealing elements 26 are sociated therewith, said elements being arranged with respect to said grips or Clamps 25 and the tube sections so as to engage the rear edge portion of each thereof during travel through this mechanism with the result that the heat from said elements 26 penetrates the several layers of material of the sections to effect a permanent fusion of the adjacent surfaces of the underlying portions of the inner ply 8 of heat-fusible or thermoplastic material as indicated at A in Figure l of the drawings.
By forming the openings 5 in the web I in the manner and at the locations previously described none of the material of said web I is introduced between the reentrant folds and surfaces of the heat-fusible or thermoplastic web material 8 at the bottom end of the tube or bag thus making it possible to obtain and secure a tight end joint at the bag bottom. The particular arrangement of the openings 5 in the web I also removes the material of that web from the reentrant folds and surfaces of the heat-fusible web Ilat the top open end of the bag, as indicated in Figure 3 of the drawings, so that after the bag has been lled it likewise may be tightly closed and sealed at the top end by heat fusion of the adjacent surfaces of the web 8.
After fusion of the bottom end of the bag according to the foregoing description it is discharged from the bottom sealing mechanism at which time the bottom end portion may be folded over and secured by means of adhesive fiat against the face of the bag.
From the foregoing it will be seen that by the provision of the openings 5 in the web I, whereby portions of said outer ply of backing material are removed from the region or area of the reentrant bellows folds at the top and bottom ends of the bag, none of said backing material is introduced between opposite surfaces of the thermoplastic ply 8 at those points and a, tight bottom and top end fusion of the surfaces of the inner thermoplastic ply or web is made possible, with the result that the occurrence of gaps or holes at the inner edges of the reentrant bellows folds is eliminated.
It will be obvious, of course, that in lieu of cutting sections from the tube prior to fusing the bottom end seam A, said seams A may be fused prior to severing sections of the tube if desired, in which event all that is required to be done is the positioning of the cut-off rolls 2I and 22 after, instead of ahead of, the bottom end sealing mechanism.
In addition, it will be entirely clear that, in lieu of forming the valve in the web during manufacture of the bags as above described, the valve may be formed after the bags have been manufactured either by forming a suitably located valve I3 or I3a through either one or both faces of the bags as shown in Figure 14 of the drawings. Formation of the valve after manufacture of the bags, of course, adds an additional independent step to the process of the invention but a better centering of the valve in the faces of the finished bags is afforded and the formation of valve openings through both faces of said bags has a denite advantage which is described in detail hereinafter.
Since a bag produced according to the foregoing is of the conventional bellows-folded side wall type said bag may be expanded and its bottom formed in the usual way to produce a bag or container of the form shown in Figure 3 of the drawings. This form of bag can be placed in a vertical standing position such as that shown and an upper end opening of comparatively large area is afforded for easy illing of the bag.
In accordance with the present invention the bags or packages are filled with the desired commodity to a depth or height a substantial distance below the upper open end thereof and at least below the exhaust valve or opening I3 or I3a pro.. vided through one or both faces of said bags. The bags may, of course, be filled in any desired manner, such as from a supply hopper 21 (Figure 4) which, if desired, may be provided with a measured batch discharge arrangement to insure uniform filling of said bags to the desired weight. v
After the bags are filled with a commodity, the upper end or mouth of the bag is collapsed with the bellows side wall portions tucked inwardly, and the upper ends of said bags are then hermetically sealed, for example, as illustrated in Figure 5 of the drawings, by bringing a pair of heated sealing elements 28 and 29 into opposing contact or engagement with opposite sides of the upper end edge portion of the filled bag or container 'Ihese elements 28 and 29 may be heated, as in the case of the elements I1 and 26, by any suitable means such as by electricity, and the elimination of the outer web I at the sides of the upper end afforded by the cut-outs 5 enables the formation of an upper end seal closure which is free from pin holes as previously described.
The bag now has the general appearance shown in Figure 6 of the drawings with the valve I3 or |3a opening to the space between the upper end closure of said bag and the surface level of the commodity therein.
A plurality of these bags are now arranged in a rack or supporting structure 39 (see Figure 8) having a. base portion 3l and a longitudinally extending central partition 32, the upper end of which is provided with laterally extending flange portions 33. Extending laterally from opposite sides of said partition 32 are transverse vertical partitions 35 each adjacent pair of which together with the partition 32 deflnes a recess or stall adapted to receive or support one of the aforementioned packages in an upstanding position.
In each of these bag receiving pockets a boss or like portion 31 projects laterally from the upper edge portion of the partition 32, and the filled bags are placed in the several recesses or stalls of the rack 30 with valve opening I3 or I3a facing outwardly as shown in Figure 9 of the drawings, the bosses 31 acting as a backing or support for the bags at and adjacent the valve area.
After a lled top-sealed bag has been thus placed in each recess or stall of the rack 39, said rack is moved into a chamber 39 upon track members 40 provided for that purpose lengthwise of the bottom thereof. The chamber 39 may, if desired, be provided with one or more windows of suitable thickness through which the operator may observe the various operations carried out therein. The chamber is now closed at both ends to the atmosphere by means of doors 42 and 43 which may, for example, be pivotally connected to the exterior of said chamber by pairs of links 44 and 45 best shown in Figure '1 of the drawings. These links 44 and 45 are pivoted to opposite sides of the chamber at 44a and 45a, respectively, and opening and closing of the doors 42`and 43, for example, may be accomplished by aever 46 pivotally connected as at 41 to an exterior side of the chamber 39 and operable to raise or lower said doors through pivotally connected links 48 and 49 and a pair of links 50, the link 49 being pivotally connected or mounted upon the chamber as indicated at 5l, and the pair of links 50 connecting between said link 49 and links 45 as shown. With the exception of lever 46 the system of links for operating the doors is the same on both sides of the chamber 39. Other means either manually or automaticalearch Roon.
ly controlled can, of course, be employed as desired for opening and closing the doors of the chamber. 5
From the foregoing it will be seen that the downward movement of the lever 48 will open the doors 42 and 43 whereas an upward movement of said lever 46 actuates the said doors into the solid line position shown in Figure 7, and in order to insure proper centering of the rack 3l lengthwise of the chamber 39 and with respect to the valve sealing. mechanism hereinafter described the said doors are preferably provided with inwardly projecting lugs 42a and 43a which engage and properly center said rack 39 upon closing of the doors.
When the rack 30 is properly positioned within the chamber 39 and the doors 42 and 43 have `eeen closed, all as above set forth, a vacuum is created within the chamber 39 and the filled bags therein by exhausting the air from said chamber and from the bags through the valve openings I3 in the latter. For this purpose a pipe 52 has one end thereof connected to the interior of the chamber 39 and its other end connected to the suction side of a suitable vacuum pump or compressor 53 as shown, for example, in Figure 10 of the drawings. Of course, during this time the relief valve 54 is closed and a suitable gauge 55 is preferably provided for visibly indicating to the operator the vacuum created within the chamber 39 and the filled bags as the air is exhausted therefrom.
When the desired vacuum within the chamber and bags has been attained the valve openings I3 in the latter are sealed or closed-off. This is accomplished by means of two series of heated elements 56 which are adjustably mounted in arms 51 secured upon a pair of longitudinally extending shafts 58 and these shafts 53 are rotatably mounted in bearings 59 adjacent the top of the chamber 39. These shafts 58 each have secured thereon a link 60 the inner end of each of which is pivotally connected as at 6I to a vertically reciprocable shaft 62 extending into the chamber 39 and actuable by means of a handle 63 pivoted upon the exterior of the chamber 39 as at 64.
The elements 56 may be heated in any suitable manner as, for example, by electricity supplied thereto by conductors 65, and in order properly to control the temperature of the heated sealing elements 56 the chamber is preferably provided with an externally visible thermometer as well as automatic thermostat control equipment for maintaining the temperature of said elements 56 substantially constant.
From the foregoing it will be seen that when the heated sealing elements 56 are actuated simultaneously into engagement with the outwardly facing package surfaces they contact the surface area adjacent or surrounding the valves therein with the result that the opposing wall surfaces of the heat-fusible inner ply of the package are fused together about the valves thus sealing the same from the interior of the package.
As hereinbefore stated a distinct advantage may be obtained by forming the valve opening through both faces of the bag or package. And, referring to Figure 15 of the drawings, if this is done, a pin or the link 38 may be provided upon each boss 31 and arranged to project through the valve openings as indicated, the heated sealing elements 56 in such case being of tubular form or recessed as at 56a to telescopically receive said pins 38 and thereby positively and accurately position the valve openings centrally in the path of the said sealing elements 5E to insure proper sealed closing of the valves.
After the valve openings have been sealed as above set forth the heated sealing elements 56 are withdrawn. The relief valve 54 is opened to admit air to the chamber 39 and the doors 42 and 43 are then opened so that the support or rack 30 with its packages may be removed from one end of said chamber to make way for the next rack and packages which is slid into the chamber from the other end thereof. When the succeeding rack and packages have been placed in the chamber 39 the doors 42 and 43 are again closed, the air exhausted and valve openings in the packages sealed as above described.
In order that the procedure may be relatively continuous in practical application, the capacity of the rack 30 may be calculated upon the basis of the time required for the evacuation and the valve sealing thereof Within the chamber and the number of packages for the next batch that can be filled and their mouths sealed preferably at the packing machine during that period of time.
From the foregoing description it will be seen that the present invention affords a novel package and method and apparatus for producing same which is relatively simple, inexpensive and capable of adoption or application to existing package making, filling and closing processes and equipment.
The invention, of course, is applicable equally to bags or packages, such as, for example, flat, Satchel-bottom, square-bottom and the like, other than those having bellows-folded side walls, and while various features of the invention have been illustrated and described in connection with particular forms of containers and machinery, it is not intended to limit said invention thereto and, to the contrary, it is contemplated that changes and modifications in both structure and methods may be embodied and incorporated therein Within the scope of the annexed claims.

Three more games to struggle through for the likes of the Rams, Colts, Vikings and Bucs? How about the teams that are signing guys left and right just to fill out their roster and finish the season? Would Drew Brees' big moment Monday night in the Superdome have seemed quite so magical if we knew he had three more games to break the NFL's single-season passing yardage record and catching Dan Marino was a fait accompli? Yawn.Sixteen games, I've decided, is enough. I'll inform commissioner Goodell as soon as I file this. I'm ready to get on to the playoffs and be done with the 8-7 Cowboys against the 8-7 Giants, or the 8-7 Broncos trying to hold off the 8-7 Raiders. Let's get to the good stuff. January is the best month of the year in the NFL, and the league has the stage virtually to itself for the entire five-week ride that every postseason takes us on.So it's time for Week 17, the final playoff positioning, and then the coaching purge of Black Monday. After that, the elite teams will surface and the mediocre will head home. One more regular-season game day, and then the rewards for the long four-month grind will start unfolding. Let the best games of the year begin.Now on to this week's final regular-season rankings... NFL Power Rankings 1Last Week: 1 Green Bay Packers (14-1)The best regular-season record in Green Bay history has been secured, and yet I know what Packers fans must be thinking: If we struggle for even the first half-plus to put away Josh McCown and the Bears' injury-depleted offense, what could Drew Brees and the Saints do to us in a potential NFC title game setting? Fair enough question, but football doesn't always work that way. The Packers aren't a flip-the-switch kind of team, but Chicago always plays them tough, no matter what the circumstances. Don't assume Sunday night's slow start portends a playoff meltdown in Titletown. 2Last Week: 2 New Orleans Saints (12-3)Saints second-year tight end Jimmy Graham, no doubt swept away in the emotion of the moment Monday night at the Superdome, got up in the post-game and said there's no quarterback he would want to play with other than Drew Brees and promised to retire once Brees retired. Seriously. Straight face and all. Graham is 25, and Brees is about to turn 33 in mid-January. Yeah, I don't see that happening, Jimbo. Call me a cynic. Brees might be a great guy and the ultimate teammate, but I predict you'll find a way to continue your NFL career post-Drew. 3Last Week: 3 New England Patriots (12-3)Every year we get caught up in the late-season race for homefield advantage in the playoffs, like it's some guarantee of January success. Not so much. New England and Atlanta earned the No. 1 seeds last season, and neither won a single playoff game. The same scenario unfolded in 2008, when the Titans and Giants were top-seeded, but winless in the tournament. True, form held in 2009, with both the Colts and Saints using their top seeds to get to the Super Bowl, but that was the first time both No. 1s made it since 1993. Just sayin'. 4Last Week: 4 San Francisco 49ers (12-3)I don't tend to be too impressed with Pro Bowl selections, because the game has become more a of a joke than ever in recent years, but raise your hand if you foresaw Carlos Rogers putting together a starting Pro Bowl-level season in San Francisco this year while Philadelphia's Nnamdi Asomugha settles for second-team alternate status? Anyone? And I'm not knocking those picks. They got them right. 5Last Week: 5 Baltimore Ravens (11-4)Sixteen weeks, 15 games, two wins over Pittsburgh, and still the Ravens haven't accomplished anything really yet this season. It'll take one more victory, at Cincinnati on Sunday, to give the Ravens their first division title, home playoff game and first-round bye since 2006. Those were the goals that mattered this year in Baltimore, and they haven't been met yet. 6Last Week: 6 Pittsburgh Steelers (11-4)The Steelers are 11-1 against most of the NFL and 0-3 against the Harbaughs this season, and I think their only concern this week at Cleveland will be that Jack Harbaugh (father of John and Jim) was born in Ohio, played at Bowling Green collegiately, and coached a couple high school teams in the Buckeye State. Other than that, Pittsburgh should be in good shape against the Browns. 7Last Week: 9 Detroit Lions (10-5)I'm convinced the Lions are going to see the Packers' B team and plenty of Matt Flynn in Green Bay on Sunday, and if I'm Detroit's Jim Schwartz I'm going all out for victory and that No. 5 seed in the NFC. The difference between heading to either New York or Dallas for the first round of the playoffs, and packing off to New Orleans as the No. 6 seed could be the difference between a real playoff run and a one-and-done appearance. 8Last Week: 7 Houston Texans (10-5)Wow, without Wade Phillips around for a couple weeks, the Texans turned back into the Texans of 2002-10. No playoff qualifier needs a pick-me-up on the momentum front quite like Houston, which should play it straight this week at home against Tennessee and try to regain its confidence. Otherwise the league will have some lovely parting gifts prepared for the Texans after they quickly exit the postseason stage in round one. 9Last Week: 8 Atlanta Falcons (9-6)If you picked the Falcons to win the NFC South again this year based on their 13-3 season of a year ago, you really haven't been paying attention. With New Orleans taking the division title, the 10-year-old NFC South has still never been won by any team consecutively, a feat no other division can match. New Orleans and Tampa Bay are three-time NFC South winners, with Atlanta and Carolina owning two division crowns each. 10Last Week: 13 Cincinnati Bengals (9-6)Buy-one, get-one-free ticket offers in Cincinnati? For a game that could get the Bengals to the playoffs and a 10-win season? What is this, Groupon comes to the NFL? Maybe it'd be worth it for Steelers fans to invade Paul Brown Stadium for the second time this season and root the guys in the hometown tiger stripes on to victory against Baltimore, thus aiding Pittsburgh's playoff cause. That's really not as crazy as it sounds. 11Last Week: 18 New York Giants (8-7)How about this little travel factoid: If the Giants win Sunday against Dallas and earn the NFC East title and a first-round playoff home game, they will wind up playing four consecutive games, and five out of six, at MetLife Stadium. That couldn't have happened too many times in league history, what amounts to a four-game homestand (yes, I know the Giants were the "visitors" last week against the Jets). In that scenario, New York will have packed a suitcase once since Thanksgiving weekend (Week 14 at Dallas). 12Last Week: 10 Denver Broncos (8-7)It seems to help a team in the playoffs if it played and won what amounted to a playoff game in Week 17, as Denver faces this week at home against Kansas City. Green Bay and Seattle both faced those situations last year at this point, and the Packers and Seahawks made some noise in January. The Broncos have been a great story in the season's second half, but if they don't close the deal against the Chiefs and make the playoffs, it will be remembered as one of the bigger teases in recent league history. 13Last Week: 11 Dallas Cowboys (8-7)It's almost comical (and maybe criminal) that it has come to this in Dallas, needing to win at the Giants in order to claim the NFC East at a worst-champion-in-the-division's-history 9-7. I don't like the Cowboys' chances, and they have only themselves to blame. Late leads against the Jets, Lions, Patriots, Cardinals and Giants all slipped away, and Dallas would be in the postseason already if it had only nailed down its Week 14 home game against New York. Wasteful, wasteful, wasteful. 14Last Week: 17 Philadelphia Eagles (7-8)Give him credit, that Andy Reid is a survivor. He's not going anywhere, and most mere mortal coaches would have paid for the level of underachievement in Philly this year with their job. The Eagles have work to do this offseason, but it will again be the dean of NFL head coaches (in terms of continuous service) overseeing that work. 15Last Week: 12 New York Jets (8-7)A comeuppance has been served. You don't get to use the word comeuppance in too many instances, but what the Giants imposed on the smack-talking Jets last Saturday at Metlife certainly qualifies. Rex Ryan looks brilliant when his team backs up his bold words, and he looks like a buffoon when it doesn't. Welcome to Buffoon Week. 16Last Week: 19 Oakland Raiders (8-7)If only the Raiders were on the road this week, where they're 5-3 this season and seem to play with more confidence and daring. New Year's Day at the Oakland Coliseum could be a little rough if the hometown team doesn't start fast against San Diego. The rowdies may not have gone to bed yet after their revelry of the night before, so a general state of increased crankiness could be in the air if Oakland sputters early. 17Last Week: 15 Seattle Seahawks (7-8)No one ever said it would be like 2010 all over again. Last year, the Seahawks were 6-9 entering Week 17, but still faced a winner-take-all showdown at home against the Rams for the NFC West title. This year, Seattle is 7-8 as it prepares to play at Arizona in the regular-season finale, but not better off. The Seahawks are five games out in the division, and saw their scant wild-card hopes eliminated with last week's near-miss against the 49ers. 18Last Week: 14 San Diego Chargers (7-8)I would have to think we'll be looking at Norv Turner's last game as an NFL head coach Sunday in Oakland, and he can't say he got cheated, landing three different gigs and lasting almost 14 full seasons, despite going just 110-117-1. He coached seven years in the NFC East (Washington) and seven years in the AFC West (Oakland and San Diego), and his record is decidedly middle of the pack material. 19Last Week: 20 Tennessee Titans (8-7)As if the game does not have enough eye-opening young talent at tight end, here comes Tennessee's Jared Cook, fresh off his 169-yard showing against Jacksonville, the biggest game ever turned in by an Oilers/Titans tight end. Cook has receiver-like hands and speed, and tight end size, and Tennessee is just now starting to figure out ways to best utilize him and win the matchup game. 20Last Week: 16 Arizona Cardinals (7-8)How'd you like to be the guy Jerome Simpson used like a prop last Saturday in Cincinnati, jumping over you to stick his play-of-the-year flag into the ground on that ridiculous 360-degree touchdown leap? That's the lot of Cardinals linebacker Daryl Washington this week, playing the foil on a continuous highlight clip that seemed to be captured from 47 different angles. 21Last Week: 22 Chicago Bears (7-8)If you're a backup quarterback in the NFL, you eventually want your chance to play and prove yourself to be starting material. But be careful what you wish for, because what do you think the market for Caleb Hanie's services is about now? When he was mostly about projected potential, Hanie had a future. But then he played extensively, played horribly, and proved himself all right. He won't be Chicago's No. 2 next season. Count on it. It's an NFL variation on the old saying: Better to keep your mouth shut and be presumed a fool, then to open it and remove all doubt. 22Last Week: 21 Kansas City Chiefs (6-9)Big game for Romeo Crennel's chances to remain as the head coach in Kansas City. Beat the Broncos in Denver and I'd say Crennel approaches lock territory. He's not out of the running with a loss by any means, but Crennel's case gets a lot stronger in the eyes of K.C. general manager Scott Pioli if he goes 2-1 with wins over Green Bay and Denver in his three-game stint. 23Last Week: 24 Carolina Panthers (6-9)Forget about any debate regarding a unanimous MVP vote for Aaron Rodgers. The bigger lock should be Cam Newton for Offensive Rookie of the Year. Newton needs just 107 yards passing at New Orleans this week to become the first rookie to hit the 4,000-yard mark. He would also be the first 4,000-yard passing, 500-yard rushing rookie QB, and to that you can add his league record for most rushing touchdowns in a season (14), most TDs by a rookie QB (34, 20 passing, 14 rushing), and most passing yards by a rookie in one game (432, Week 2 against Green Bay). 24Last Week: 23 Miami Dolphins (5-10)Jason Taylor reportedly plans to retire after Sunday's game against the Jets, making it 15 years in the NFL. He's been a great pro, and a three-time Dolphin, but his trip to the AFC title game last year with the Jets was the closest sniff he ever got to making a Super Bowl. I suppose he'll now get on with that acting career he kept putting off in favor of football the past few years. 25Last Week: 26 Buffalo Bills (6-9)The Bills play at the Patriots this week, and my, how the worm has turned since the division rivals last met, in Week 3 in Orchard Park. Kind of reminds you a bit of 2003, when Buffalo won its opener at home against New England 31-0, and lost its regular-season finale 31-0 at New England. That's not necessarily a predicted score for this week, but the outcome will be the same. 26Last Week: 25 Washington Redskins (5-10)Mike Shanahan says turning the Redskins into winners has taken a lot longer than he anticipated. I imagine Daniel Snyder could second that emotion. This is the close of Year 13 in the team's Snyder era, and Washington doesn't look any closer to winning the franchise's fourth Super Bowl trophy than it ever has from 1999-on. 27Last Week: 27 Jacksonville Jaguars (4-11)Job one in Jacksonville is to build up an offense that features one of the game's premier players in running back Maurice Jones-Drew. MJD is the real deal, and the only thing the Jaguars really have going for themselves at the moment. 28Last Week: 28 Cleveland Browns (4-11)One of my readers out there, and you know who you are, says I use the word "desultory" too often in my stories. He's probably right, and I've tried to curb my enthusiasm in that regard. I think he and his friends have turned it into a drinking game, every time I drop it into a sentence. But it's the holidays, so here goes: It has been a very desultory season, once again, in Cleveland. 29Last Week: 29 Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-11)The more Raheem Morris talks, and the more he defends himself against the critics of his job performance this season, the worse he sounds. This is the NFL. The only thing that really speaks with any resonance and impact is your won-loss record. And Morris doesn't have a lot to defend on that front. 30Last Week: 30 Minnesota Vikings (3-12)It was beyond sad watching Adrian Peterson being carried off the field with what everyone knew was a serious knee injury last Saturday in Washington. I have to admit, it reminded me of those scenes from "Brian's Song," showing the actual footage of Gale Sayers' devastating knee injury in 1968. Sayers never really ran with the same explosion after that injury, but thanks to modern knee surgery, I hope that's anything but the case with Peterson. 31Last Week: 31 Indianapolis Colts (2-13)I kind of called the Colts' upset of Houston in last week's power rankings. Kind of. And even if you're not willing to give me credit for it, I did have the foresight to bump Indy up to No. 31 last week, one notch ahead of two-win St. Louis. So there's that. 32Last Week: 32 St. Louis Rams (2-13)You get the feeling the wheels are about to start turning in St. Louis. Furiously. Big changes are inevitable when a head coach goes 10-37 and a franchise regresses to the point the Rams have this season.

text: Approved by Lightwolf We're gonna be playing some Civ 5 using Giant Multiplayer Robot. Please watch the how-to and follow its instructions if you are gonna sign up. We're gonna be doing 8 players at first. There's been some concern about people dragging this out and not taking their turn, but there is a Turn Timer feature and I think it should be set to 24 hours. Hopefully if this works we can do some 12 player games in the future, big games are awesome. To sign up just post and list your most updated version of Civ 5 (Vanilla, Gods and Kinds, Gold, Brave New World). If you have a newer DLC but would be willing to do dial back for others, please say so. Rodan has an irc #civ might want to discuss game modes there I only have Vanilla sadly.

Chew on that.
And the stock market has essentially doubled. Isn't that what matters most to us after all. Booyahhh.
That is Bernanke's work, not Obama's.
You are full of chyytt dummy all that is being creaed are chyytt jobs at MCD.Answer this arsseewipe> Why are more people on entitlements such as food stamps etc than ever before if everything is so rosy?
Everytime Obama puts someone on food stamps or disability, it is like paying them to vote for him with money from people that work and pay taxes. That is why he may get re-elected. He gave out so many favors at the expense of honest Americans, that they will pay him back with a vote. He is the worst president, ever and people stick defend his politics before country. Wasn't that one of his many lies, that country comes before politics. That is why he is inviting illegals in this country instead of kicking them out.
Reality: net loss of jobs during his term.

A Rugged Ode to Checking Out
We Can Be Strong
Monday's Pick
- Song: "We Can Be Strong"
- Artist: Willy Mason
- CD: If the Ocean Gets Rough
- Genre: Folk-Pop
"Signed myself out today / Sent a letter far away," Willy Mason sings on "We Can Be Strong." It's never entirely clear where he was, but a later reference to "a sterile room" provides a clue that it wasn't a luxury hotel. Later in the song, he's back on his mother's couch, wondering what happened to all those friends who chose to go to college and were so disillusioned that they dropped out and vanished.
An earlier generation subscribed to the idea of turning on, tuning in and dropping out, but the voice of "We Can Be Strong" is so numb and confused by life on earth in 2007 that finding the right knob to tune out is too taxing.
The wonder of "We Can Be Strong" is that it isn't nearly as depressing as its lyric. It helps that the New Englander is far from a typical young alt-folkie — he's recorded for Bright Eyes' label and toured with Beth Orton and Death Cab for Cutie — and his stripped-wood voice implies resilience more than defeat. The song's arrangement feels craggier and more rugged than that of the average singer-songwriter ballad. (Having Rosanne Cash pitch in on harmony doesn't hurt; her voice conveys nothing but strength.) Anti-anthems rarely sound this anthemic.
Listen to yesterday's 'Song of the Day.'

POINT RICHMOND, Calif., Nov. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Transcept Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: TSPT) announced today that Purdue Pharmaceutical Products, L.P. (Purdue), the Transcept U.S. commercialization partner for Intermezzo® (zolpidem tartrate) sublingual tablet C-IV, is launching a national direct-to-consumer (DTC) promotional campaign, including digital, print and television advertising to support Intermezzo commercialization. Intermezzo digital and print DTC campaigns began in November 2012 and television promotion is expected to begin in February 2013. Elements of the online DTC campaign will be available at www.myintermezzo.com later in December 2012.
Purdue has committed $19 million to this consumer advertising campaign, and Transcept plans to provide an additional $10 million. This $29 million program will be primarily executed during the first six months of 2013.
To reinforce the DTC promotional campaign, Purdue plans to utilize for the first time its established analgesic sales force, which consists of approximately 525 sales representatives, to promote Intermezzo to primary care prescribers and certain medical specialists. Purdue will continue to market Intermezzo to psychiatrists and other specialty prescribers with a specialty sales force of approximately 90 sales representatives who are exclusively devoted to Intermezzo.
Intermezzo is the first and only prescription sleep aid approved for use as needed for the treatment of insomnia when a middle-of-the-night awakening is followed by difficulty returning to sleep. Intermezzo is not indicated for the treatment of middle-of-the-night insomnia when the patient has fewer than four hours of bedtime remaining before the planned time of waking. Intermezzo was developed by Transcept and is the Company's first FDA approved product. Intermezzo is being marketed in the United States under the terms of a collaboration agreement between Transcept and Purdue.
"We are very excited to be working with our partner Purdue to launch the next phase of the Intermezzo commercialization plan," stated Glenn A. Oclassen, President and CEO of Transcept. "We expect that the DTC campaign will help educate consumers about Intermezzo's unique indication within the insomnia therapeutic category."
"The new Intermezzo consumer advertising campaign supports our commitment to enhanced prescriber and patient education," commented John H. Stewart, President and CEO of Purdue. "We believe that Intermezzo addresses a significant medical need, and we remain committed to increasing awareness of Intermezzo and making the product available to those insomnia patients for whom it is appropriate."
Important Safety Information
Intermezzo is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to zolpidem. Observed reactions with zolpidem include anaphylaxis and angioedema.
Co-administration with Intermezzo and other CNS depressants increases the risk of CNS depression. Intermezzo should not be taken with alcohol. The use of Intermezzo with other sedative-hypnotics (including other zolpidem products) at bedtime or the middle of the night is not recommended.
The risk of next-day driving impairment (and psychomotor impairment) is increased if Intermezzo is taken with less than four hours of bedtime remaining; if a higher than recommended dose is taken; if co-administered with other CNS depressants; or co-administered with other drugs that increase the blood levels of zolpidem. A small negative effect on SDLP (standard deviation of lateral position, a measure of driving impairment) may remain in some patients four hours after the 1.75 mg dose in women, and after the 3.5 mg dose in men, such that a potential negative effect on driving cannot be completely excluded.
Additional Important Safety Information is presented below.
About Intermezzo
Intermezzo is the first and only prescription sleep aid approved for use as needed for the treatment of insomnia when a middle-of-the-night awakening is followed by difficulty returning to sleep. Intermezzo is not indicated for the treatment of middle-of-the-night insomnia when the patient has fewer than four hours of bedtime remaining before the planned time of waking. Intermezzo is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to zolpidem. Observed reactions with zolpidem include anaphylaxis and angioedema.
The safety and efficacy of Intermezzo was evaluated in two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies in patients with insomnia characterized by difficulty returning to sleep after a middle-of-the-night awakening. Patients met the diagnosis for primary insomnia as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR) and had at least 3 prolonged middle-of-the-night awakenings per week of at least 30 minutes in duration.
In a four-week outpatient study in 295 adult patients aged 18 to 64 years (201 females, 94 males), Intermezzo 3.5 mg or placebo was taken on an as-needed basis following spontaneous awakenings when patients had difficulty returning to sleep after waking in the middle of the night, provided they had at least four hours remaining in bed. Subjective time to fall back to sleep after a middle-of-the-night awakening was significantly shorter for Intermezzo 3.5 mg (38 minutes) compared to placebo (56 minutes). The most commonly observed adverse reactions ( > 1% ) were headache (Intermezzo 3%, placebo 1%), nausea (1% for both patient groups), and fatigue (Intermezzo 1%, placebo 0%).
In a sleep laboratory study, 82 adult patients aged 19 to 64 years (58 females, 24 males) were evaluated in a 3-period, 2-consecutive-night treatment period cross-over design. Patients were awakened four hours after bedtime, administered Intermezzo 3.5 mg, 1.75 mg, or placebo, and were kept awake for 30 minutes before lights-out. As compared to placebo, Intermezzo significantly decreased objective mean time to fall back asleep after a middle-of-the-night awakening (women taking 1.75 mg: 16 min vs. placebo: 28 min; men taking 3.5 mg: 13 min vs. placebo: 29 min).
How to Take Intermezzo
The recommended and maximum dose of Intermezzo for male adults is 3.5 mg and for female adults is 1.75 mg, administered as a sublingual tablet only once per night as needed if a middle-of-the-night awakening is followed by difficulty returning to sleep. The recommended doses for men and women are different because women clear zolpidem from the body at a lower rate than men.
The recommended dose for elderly men and women over 65 years old or patients with hepatic impairment is 1.75 mg. The recommended dose for men and women who are taking concomitant CNS depressants is 1.75 mg. Dose adjustment of concomitant CNS depressants may be necessary when co-administered with Intermezzo because of potentially additive effects. The use of Intermezzo with other sedative-hypnotics (including other zolpidem products) at bedtime or the middle of the night is not recommended.
Intermezzo is to be taken in bed when a patient wakes in the middle of the night and has difficulty returning to sleep. Intermezzo should only be taken if the patient has at least four hours of bedtime remaining before the planned time of waking.
Intermezzo should be placed under the tongue and allowed to disintegrate completely before swallowing. The tablet should not be swallowed whole. For optimal effect, Intermezzo should not be administered with or immediately after a meal. The blister should be removed from the pouch just prior to dosing.
Each sublingual tablet is individually packaged in a foil blister inside a unit-dose pouch. Before going to bed, a single pouch should be placed by the bedside with a clock or watch nearby. All other unopened Intermezzo pouches should be stored with other medicines away from the bedside. Patients should open the Intermezzo pouch only when they are ready to use it.
Patients can either use the Dosing Time Chart or the Dosing Time Tool that comes with Intermezzo to find the latest time during the night they can take Intermezzo.
Dosing Time Tool: Patients turn a wheel to find the earliest time they must be awake, which corresponds with instructions to take Intermezzo before a specified time.
Dosing Time Chart: The chart helps patients locate the earliest time they need to be awake and match it to the latest time they can take Intermezzo.
When patients wake in the morning, they should make sure that at least four hours have passed since they took Intermezzo and they feel fully awake before driving or engaging in other activities requiring full mental alertness. Patients should not do dangerous activities until they know how Intermezzo affects them.
Additional Important Safety Information
The failure of insomnia to remit after 7 to 10 days of treatment may indicate the presence of a primary psychiatric and/or medical illness that should be evaluated.
Cases of angioedema involving the tongue, glottis, or larynx have been reported in patients after taking the first or subsequent doses of zolpidem. Some patients have had additional symptoms such as dyspnea, throat closing, or nausea and vomiting that suggest anaphylaxis. Some patients have required medical therapy in the emergency department. Angioedema and additional symptoms suggesting anaphylaxis may be fatal. Patients who develop angioedema or anaphylaxis should not be re-challenged.
Abnormal thinking and behavior changes have been reported in patients treated with a sedative-hypnotic, including zolpidem. Complex behaviors, including driving or eating while not fully awake, with amnesia for the event, as well as visual and auditory hallucinations and abnormal behaviors such as decreased inhibition, bizarre behavior, agitation, and depersonalization may occur. Although behaviors such as "sleep-driving" have occurred with zolpidem alone at therapeutic doses, the co-administration of zolpidem with alcohol and other CNS depressants increases the risk of such behaviors, as does the use of zolpidem at doses exceeding the maximum recommended dose. Discontinuation of Intermezzo should be strongly considered for patients reporting a "sleep-driving" episode.
In primarily depressed patients, worsening of depression, including suicidal thoughts and actions (including completed suicides) have been reported with the use of sedative-hypnotics. Intentional overdosage is more common in this group of patients; therefore, protective measures may be required. Prescribe the least amount of Intermezzo that is feasible in these patients.
Because persons with a history of addiction to or abuse of drugs or alcohol are at increased risk for misuse, abuse, and addiction of zolpidem, they should be monitored carefully when receiving Intermezzo. Zolpidem tartrate is a Schedule IV controlled substance. Post-marketing reports of abuse, dependence, and withdrawal resulting from use of oral zolpidem tartrate have been received. Zolpidem has produced withdrawal signs and symptoms following a rapid dose decrease or abrupt discontinuation.

My diabetic cat has to eat a diet low in carbs, and about half protein and half fat. He does well with this food, and his blood sugar levels were low enough that we were able to take him off of insulin. He scarfs it down! I only wish it were a bit cheaper, since he seems to go through it.

Top quality food and best diet for cats.

We have 3 kitties, all a bit finiky. Our vet wants them off dry food, so we needed to add more variety to their wet food. Well!.....this did th trick. They all love it, even Dixie!
- Please tell us your pet's breed:
- All mutts
My cat, Zora, was always a good eater but you could tell when she ate something she just liked and not loved because she would leave some of the wet food in her bowl for later. Right when I switched her wet food over to Weruva, she became the happiest cat ever! When she hears us up in the morning, she literally meows non-stop until we feed her this food and she eats every last bite and likes the bowl clean! I have tried 6 other flavors so far, and she has loved them all! I am so happy I discovered this brand!
