The focus of this week's episode was on social start-ups. Suzie Boss helped us decide who to invite to a show where we were asking to better understand social entrepreneurship. One of the projects that Suzie thought we would want to know about is Cool School Challenge, which, in her description is:
an effort to reduce the carbon footprint of schools. It was launched by Mike Town, environmental science teacher at Redmond High School in Washington, and partners with Puget Sound Clean Air Agency. Participating schools set CO2 reduction goals, figure out their own strategies to achieve them, and track results (and $$ savings for schools) on their website: www.coolschoolchallenge.org
We caught up with Mike Town while he was traveling. Mike currently lives in Washington DC on a year-long Einstein fellowship with the National Science Foundation, and will return to teaching next year. We ask Mike specific questions about Cool School Challenge, but we also ask him to help us to think about the whole idea of working with students to learn about how social justice issues and entrepreneurship can go together.
Bill Ferriter (One Tweet CAN Change the World) was another able guide in our inquiry on this episode of TTT. We talk to him about his micro-loans club of which he and his students are pretty excited:
One of the projects that I've begun to engage my students in is studying the world through microloans that we are making through Kiva. We've spent the better part of the past 8 months raising money, studying countries, and selecting entrepreneurs that we are willing to support with loans ranging anywhere from $25-$100. We've even created a Lending Team---called Team Kids Care---designed to encourage other classes to join us in our efforts. (See more on his Microloans wiki page on Digitally Speaking.)
Another social entrepreneur on this episode of Teachers Teaching Teachers was our colleague from New Orleans, Kyle Meador, who is the Director of Educational Programs at Our School at Blair Grocery. Their "About OSBG" page on their web site summarizes some of the work that Kyle does with Nat Turner (5 Years After Katrina, Teacher Tills Soil of Lower 9th Ward) and others in the Lower Ninth Ward:
For listeners who want some background about social entrepreneurship, Suzie Boss provides a couple of a couple of introductory links:
Our mission is to create a resource-rich safe space for youth empowerment and sustainable community development.
Currently, we:
- Employ 10 neighborhood teenagers in our Growing Growers program,
- Operate as the Gulf Coast Growing Power Regional Outreach Training Center,
- Operate a Community Supported Agriculture-style market (Our Market) and a restaurant sales business generating an average of $1,500 weekly from 1/3 acre of land with our students,
- Engage and educate over 700 high school and college service-learners annually, and
- Operate an independent alternative school with 5 total students
The New Heroes is a PBS documentary series (now a few years old) that profiles social entrepreneurs from around the world. (Full disclosure: Suzie helped write the classroom materials). Details here: www.pbs.org/thenewheroes
Youth Venture is the sister organization Ashoka, which has been kind of the mother-ship for nurturing social entrepreneurs worldwide. Youth Venture aims to get teens (and younger students) involved in leading their own sustainable solutions, and offers start-up grants to teams that come up with good ideas: http://www.genv.net/
We hope you too will find inspiration and encouragement from these beacons of social vision and business sense that we were able to have on this episode of Teachers Teaching Teachers.

21:10:17 Peggy George: http://www.teacherleaders.org/node/4288 link to Bill's microloans info
21:10:35 Peggy George: thanks for those links Kkyle
21:11:05 Peggy George: perfect setup Martha :-)
21:12:27 kmeador: great question Martha!
21:12:30 Peggy George: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_entrepreneurship
21:12:50 Chris Sloan: Thanks for the link Peggy
21:12:50 sittmrev: www.nwphs.org
21:13:10 sittmrev: Current Director of NWPHS
21:13:21 susanettenheim: welcome!
21:14:24 Chris Sloan: Interesting school sittmrev. I like the philosophy
21:15:17 Peggy George: what an awesome project!!!
21:15:43 lorna: that is a fantastic idea
21:15:44 Chris Sloan: $3000 a week! That's impressive
21:16:49 Peggy George: the Kiva loans are such a great way to get started with that
21:17:08 kmeador: and with that we're able to pay stipends to our students and after-school "growing growers"
21:18:36 Peggy George: I got started with Kiva loans because someone gifted one to me and then I continued from there. Love that concept
21:19:56 Peggy George: @Kyle how much time do you have to spend sustaining your project?
21:20:46 Peggy George: http://www.kiva.org/
21:21:44 kmeador: we're a little ways away from being fully sustainable without grants, but getting there. Not entirely sure what you're asking... Our staff of 7 w/ 3 interns and a consistent flow of local and national service-learners we're making great progress
21:22:13 Peggy George: do any of you use the Carbon Rally challenges to reduce carbon emissions? http://www.carbonrally.com/
21:22:54 Peggy George: I was thinking more of time spent rather than funding support (just thinking about replicability)
21:25:20 Peggy George: http://www.kickstart.org/
21:25:21 Suzie Boss: http://kickstart.org
21:25:25 Peggy George: :-)
21:25:54 Peggy George: that's a great point Suzie about making it connect to the curriculum-very important
21:26:12 Peggy George: Bill's project is a perfect match with his curriculum
21:26:26 Chris Sloan: That's real world learning
21:26:27 Paul Allison: http://digitallyspeaking.pbworks.com/w/page/17791571/Microloans
21:26:44 kmeador: ahhh, got ya. much of our curriculum is built around our social entreprenuership work. business/math class studies sales reports,profit, loss, etc. science is compost, soil building, aquaponics, etc. Similarly, the issues of social justice that are related to who has access to food and who does not are integrated into our people's history course.
21:26:48 susanettenheim: welcome back sittmrev
21:27:15 sittmrev: Here is a recent project our students completed:
21:27:21 Peggy George: http://teacherleaders.typepad.com/the_tempered_radical/2010/12/one-tweet... Bill's blog post about how one tweet can change the world
21:28:01 Peggy George: great description Kyle
21:28:37 susanettenheim: hi renee welcome please introduce yourself!
21:29:06 Peggy George: funny Paul! all the best stuff happens after school... not always but often
21:29:06 Renee: Hi. I am teacher an elementary teacher at FLACS in the Bronx.
21:29:31 Martha: I should no. I spend a lot of time after school. :p
21:29:48 sittmrev: http://fieldnotes.nwphs.org/field-notes-adventures-i/2011/02/guatemala-d... NWPHS is a public charter school where we have over 45 expeditions this year and is completely free for students
21:29:55 Martha: *know. my bad.
21:30:23 Peggy George: that's incredible!! 45 expeditions this year! wow!
21:30:43 Renee: How were you able to fubd these expeditions?
21:30:44 susanettenheim: welcome renee!
21:31:14 Renee: Hi Susan. Thsi is a very interesting topic tonight.
21:31:16 sittmrev: We allocate 100k-140k per year for field studies, we use our per pupil allocation, no grants no fund raising
21:31:31 Renee: Wow.
21:31:38 susanettenheim: how did you find us renee
21:32:05 Renee: I met Paul last summer at NWP.
21:32:18 susanettenheim: ahh welcome!
21:32:22 Renee: I attended edtech talk last summer
21:33:16 kmeador: what state?
21:33:23 Renee: NYC.
21:33:26 kmeador: k
21:33:29 kmeador: thanks
21:33:45 Renee: What project are you working on?
21:34:05 Peggy George: two really key points!! fits in the curriculum and easy to implement
21:34:34 kmeador: I'm at Our School at Blair Grocery in L9W New Orleans. www.ourschoolatblairgrocery.org
21:35:03 sittmrev: Peter Pappas tweeted this out. Met him the the Project Unconference last summer. We teach a Foods in America, Sustainable Building, and E^3 (Ethics, Environment and Economics)
21:35:37 Renee: I heard about your school and attended a PBL summer camp where you spoke about that school.
21:35:56 Peggy George: that would kill it for sure! attach it to a test!
21:37:29 Renee: Are you able to get funding for the School at Blair Grocery? How are your efforts going with the Horizin Gulf Oil Spill?
21:38:01 Paul Allison: @Peggy about connecting to a test... I agree, but only courses that are tested get supported in many schools.
21:38:16 Peggy George: I know that is true--sad but true
21:38:53 kmeador: some grant funding, but working towards sustainability from sales of local organic produce to some of the top New Orleans resteraunts
21:39:06 Suzie Boss: Bill's microlending materials: http://digitallyspeaking.pbworks.com/w/page/17791571/Microloans
21:39:10 kmeador: our students make the sales
21:39:19 Peggy George: http://teacherleaders.typepad.com/the_tempered_radical/2010/12/one-tweet... the story about Karl Fisch's tweet :-)
21:39:24 kmeador: meet with chefs like emeril, john besh
21:40:15 kmeador: ...in addition to supporting sustainability of the school, it provides students weekly stipends
21:40:55 Peggy George: that must be highly motivating to the students Kyle-weekly stipends
21:41:19 Chris Sloan: I notice how all of these projects blend economics with social good
21:42:39 Chris Sloan: In the current budget climate economics might be the best way to introduce these projects that promote the common good
21:42:44 Peggy George: http://go.solution-tree.com/technology/reproducibles_TTiG.html Bill's book-a fantastic resource!
21:43:00 Renee: @Kyle, thanks. How can other schools help?
21:43:12 Suzie Boss: Teach a Man to Fish: http://www.teachamantofish.org.uk/
21:44:08 Chris Sloan: Another good link Suzie
21:44:32 Peggy George: I love the name of that--teach a man to fish!
21:46:47 Peggy George: you are ALL so resourceful and inspirational!-what great examples!
21:47:45 Renee: Motivated and dedicated.
21:47:52 Peggy George: that's what I was wondering about too--sustainability and scalability with full time teachers
21:48:37 Peggy George: but successful models like yours make it easier for other teachers to replicate--not starting from scratch
21:48:37 Renee: It needs to be a cause that you are really dedicated to or your students are really interested in.
21:49:39 Peggy George: it seems really important to take a team approach with many teachers/students involved so it doesn't all depend on one key person
21:50:17 Peggy George: that is an excellent point Renee!
21:51:09 Peggy George: that's so funny about the lending term
21:52:35 Peggy George: so many aspects to their learning and decisionmaking
21:52:54 Peggy George: I'll bet they are teaching their parents some of these things too B
21:52:59 Peggy George: Bill :-)
21:53:10 kmeador: @Renee, other schools can help in several ways...come visit and work with us, host a fundraiser to help us raise money for resources and program costs, we have some great youth allies in NYC who could come speak at your school, and we have a wish list that of materials and supplies we need.
21:54:29 kmeador: OSBG wish list: https://sites.google.com/site/greenshortypledge/home/our-school-at-blair...
21:54:49 Peggy George: @Kyle--you have thought of everything! :-)

21:55:13 Suzie Boss: Do Something: http://www.dosomething.org/
21:55:25 Peggy George: have you posted any of those requests on donorschoose?
21:55:50 kmeador: One of our 19 year old youth interns just submitted a application for Do Something!
21:56:21 kmeador: @peggy, not for a little while. we definitely should
21:56:42 Peggy George: absolutely!! will reach people outside of your community
21:57:34 Renee: How do we find out more about that?
21:57:45 kmeador: www.ny2no.org
21:58:43 susanettenheim: we need to be sensitive to lorna tonight.. pls.. I'll work on this for next week
21:59:27 Suzie Boss: www.pbs.org/thenewheroes
22:00:33 Chris Sloan: Thanks Suzie. This is an approachable way to approach this for a lot of teachers
22:02:17 Peggy George: such a great conversation tonight!! wish it didn't have to end!
22:02:41 susanettenheim: ahh peggy - you don't have to teach in the morning!
22:02:45 Renee: There should be a part II to this conversation.
22:02:59 susanettenheim: definitely!
22:03:10 Peggy George: so true!!
22:03:31 Chris Sloan: Wow. What a bunch of inspirational educators!

Select between a gasoline or electric motor at no charge.
- Industrial Rock Crushers employ two planer crushing surfaces set at a small angle to each other and convergent downward. One plane is fixed and the other is pivoted either top or bottom allowing a reciprocating motion when pushed by a pitman-toggle arrangement activated by an eccentric drive. The 3 common variations of the jaw crusher drive system are describe here. The
Blakefeatures a double toggle jaw crusher drive mechanism which gives relatively smaller movement at the receiving end of the chamber generating a powerful crushing action for large rock pieces. A refinement on the crusher illustrated is the use of a curved jaw plate on the swing jaw which renders the crusher non-choking. This curvature decreases the effective receiving opening but does prevent choking and thereby increased capacity. A high-capacity Blake has subsequently been manufactured which has a decreased crushing angle and several altered structural design details. This type of crusher is now more commonly installed unless the prime objective is to have a maximum receiving opening for hard and coarse feed. The single toggle jaw crusher is similar to the Dodgetype in that maximum movement is at the receiving opening but in all other respects compares with the Blake type. The actual crushing motion is somewhat complicated consisting of vertical as well as horizontal components. The machine is popular for its simplicity, light weight, moderate cost and ease of adjustment as well as its high capacity and high reduction ratio. It is particularly applicable for portable crushing rigs. Its disadvantages are high wear of jaw plates due to the vertical component of movement and its vulnerability to bearing damage due to shock loading.

This crusher is the finest of our lines of jaw crushers which we offer. Others include: Superior, Type "B" Blake, Fine-Reduction and Dodge — sizes, 4 by 6 to 84 by 66 inches. A reciprocating machine, the crushes material in a straight line between jaws — without grinding or rubbing surfaces.
As you compare this jaw crusher feature for feature with other makes you'll see how this modern crusher lowers principal costs—power consumption; lubrication; jaw plate, toggle plate and bearing wear you'll understand why we say the crusher promises you a new low cost per ton of material crushed!
A jaw crusher is recommended for tough, abrasive, high compressive strength materials. Special machines have been designed for ores having compressive strength as high as 80,000 lbs per sq in.
- All-steel sectionalized frame. End members are box section. Deep side members of welded steel plate.
- Deep crushing chamber assures positive nipping action minimizes slippage and jaw plate wear.
- Uniform-wear crushing chamber results in higher ratio of reduction and greater capacity than possible with straight jaw plates.
- Suspended type jaw plates permit expansion caused by peening of manganese steel.
- Wearing plates behind jaw plates eliminate wear on jaw and frame.
- Tension springs take up bolt stretch reduce maintenance practically eliminate breakage.
- Swing jaw deflection plate eliminates wear on hub facilitates feeding. Replaceable.
- Toggle seat shields reduce wear by deflecting grit from seats.
- Toggle seat wedges are a simplified method of clamping toggle seats to jaw — more securely.
- Replaceable cap nuts simplify replacing jaw plates. Not necessary to pull jaw back to remove bolts.
- Long box section swing jaw is suspended from shaft equipped with "Scor-proof" bushings.
- Three-piece toggle plate has renewable machined ends reduces replacement costs.
- Swing jaw shaft ties frame sides together, adds rigidity to frame.
- Box-section steel pitman has water-cooled cap. Cooling coils are embedded in babbitt.

- Toggle block shims provide maximum adjustment for wear maintain toggle and seat alignment.
- Balanced flywheels offset reciprocating action smooth operation with minimum vibration.
First—those who have rock or ore tougher and more abrasive than most material. Second—the operators who've had difficulty with other designs of crushers. And finally—the operators who naturally buy the best—expecting their added investment to be written off in comparatively short time through lower operating and maintenance costs!
Compare the dimensions with those of conventional jaw crushers. It measures up to 20% longer; has up to 35% deeper crushing chamber! And while you naturally expect to pay more for this bigger, "deluxe" crusher, it follows that you get more too! For example:
You get a crushing chamber with full-width receiving opening — increased capacity! You get an acute crushing chamber that minimizes slippage — very important with hard, tough materials. You cut down crushing power required — through longer pitman and front toggle. You reduce packing, get closer setting — through longer jaw, non-choking plates. You lower maintenance cost, get longer jaw plate, toggle and bearing life — through lower structural stresses, simplified design.
Yes, adding these and more advantages, a new crusher gives you a lower cost per ton of material crushed than comparable crushers!
- Thick, heavy steel plate side frames—reinforced by vertical and longitudinal stiffener ribs.
- Large pitman shaft frame bearings — are babbitted, water-cooled — designed for quick removal or replacement without having to strip crusher.
- Welded steel frame is sectionalized for convenience in moving the crusher to a new location.
- Deep weld construction throughout ensures greater strength, protection against breakage.
- Entire frame stress-relieved to maintain accurate, true alignment and provide greater strength.
- Exclusive box-section welded-end design—up to 50% stronger than conventional one-piece frame construction.
Frames of these crushers are built for maximum rigidity — designed to prevent distortion during operation. Side members are heavy steel plate, reinforced by steel ribbing. End members are cast steel, of box section design, to provide maximum strength.
The side frames are deep-welded and then "stress-relieved" in the huge annealing furnaces to eliminate possible failure adjacent to welds. The result is a uniformly strong frame that will remain true during the long service life of the crusher.
A jaw crusher frames are of sectionalized construction to facilitate handling. This design minimizes heavy lifts makes the crusher suitable for installations where parts must be passed down a shaft or through a tunnel. End members are attached between side members with vertical tongue and groove joints and held together with fitted bolts. Long bearing surfaces prevent angular distortion.

Important differences in design show up visually when a cross-section of the crushing chamber of a conventional crusher is superimposed over that of the crusher. Now you can see advantages of the 1 /3 deeper chamber using non-choking jaw plates. Its more acute crushing angle is carried to the very top of the chamber—permits nipping the largest material that can enter the receiving opening!
Lower plates on swing and stationary jaws are suspended from projections on jaws. These plates also support the upper plates. This exclusive feature permits the free expansion of manganese steel jaw plates greatly minimizes the possibility of buckling or warping prevents costly shutdowns!
SWING AND STATIONARY JAWS on the jaw crusher are annealed cast steel box section construction — designed for maximum rigidity. The jaw swings on a sturdy shaft which is clamped to the crusher frame. This shaft also serves as a reinforcing tie across the top of the frame. The entire design facilitates lubrication and replacement of shaft bearings.
Jaw plates are constructed of manganese steel, and have corrugated crushing surfaces which reduce power required for fracturing material. The jaw plates are built two pieces to the jaw. Those on the swing jaw are interchangeable. Plates on the stationary jaw are the non-choking type, not interchangeable. Lower plates on both jaws are suspended from jaw projections and support upper plates. Main advantage of this construction (see above) is to permit free flow of manganese steel. All four plates are held in place by large through bolts equipped with springs to prevent bolt breakage.
Here's still another feature you'll find on the jaw crusher! Renewable wearing plates — between the cast manganese steel jaw plates and swing and stationary jaws — provide a firm backing for the jaw plates. If, for any reason, looseness develops in the jaw plates, these wearing plates, not the jaws, take the wear! By protecting expensive jaw castings, these wearing plates increase crusher life simplify maintenance minimize causes for shutdowns.
FRONT VIEW—SWING JAW FOR 36 by 25 INCH CRUSHER
The heavy, two-piece corrugated manganese steel jaw plate is designed to fracture toughest kinds of rock or ore with a minimum of power. The unobstructed clearances above, between and below the plate sections permit free flow of manganese steel.
This construction eliminates need for extra holding pieces, greatly minimizes shearing of bolts. The amply designed shaft not only supports swing jaw, but reinforces frame, serving as tie between sides.
BACK VIEW—SWING JAW FOR 36 by 25 INCH CRUSHER
Notice the extra length of this jaw as compared to conventional types. Designed up to one-third longer, it exerts greater pressures in the upper portion of the crushing chamber, distributes crushing action more evenly. The result is a gradual reduction of ore to choking point, and increased capacity!
Metal is concentrated at points which make for most effective jaw design. The replaceable toggle seat has machine-finished bearing surface — for longer life.
Producing "Rip-Rap" for levee maintenance— crushing extremely hard quartzite—this 48 by 42 inch crusher gets out big tonnage for a southern producer.
Jaw Crusher Toggle
All sizes of crushers feature a three-piece toggle plate construction. Worn ends may be replaced — no need to discard entire toggle. Bronze toggle ends fit into replaceable hardened steel toggle seats in swing jaw. Properly lubricated, this assembly materially reduces maintenance.
Toggle plates for these jaw crushers are of three-piece construction, consisting of an iron center section (2) to which are bolted two replaceable bronze ends (1 and 3). Toggle seats are carefully machined and equipped with protecting shields which deflect dust and dirt.
Toggle plates are held in position between swing jaw, and pitman and frame by spring-equipped tension rods which are attached to the swing jaw.
A toggle block, arranged for both vertical and horizontal adjustment, is provided at the rear of the frame. By inserting shims above the toggle block, the crushing stroke can be adjusted. Insertion of shims behind the toggle block adjusts the size of the discharge opening. Parallel alignment is assured and unnecessary strain in the crushing machine is avoided.
The pitman in any jaw crusher is essentially a tension member. However, because it also has a vertical reciprocating movement, it is desirable to keep its weight as low as possible, consistent with maintaining the required strength.
In the crusher this is accomplished by designing the pitman as a skeleton member, first to provide the necessary strength for tension — and with stiffness against overturn thrust provided for by deep integral webs.
The pitman is designed with only four large cap bolts, and the pitman cap is ribbed for proper distribution of the load to these bolts. The pitman is swung on the eccentric shaft which is supported by removable, water-cooled bearings on the frame.
The pitman is two-piece annealed cast steel construction, with cap designed for water cooling. Bearing surfaces on both pitman and cap are babbitted, and are joined together by four large forged steel bolts. The elimination of excess bolts inherently found in conventional design results in a more uniform distribution of load.
The pitman (eccentric) shaft is heat-treated, forged steel construction—of ample diameter so that stress, even under shock of suddenly clogged jaws, is low. The shaft is carried in removable, water-cooled, babbitted bearings designed to permit quick removal or replacement without having to strip crusher.
Here's typical toggle plate for jaw crushers. It is constructed in three pieces—with center section of iron, two ends of bronze, designed for quick bolting to center section. This unique construction materially reduces replacement and maintenance costs — makes it unnecessary to discard toggles when ends alone are worn!
Close-up of toggle seat for jaw crushers. The machined toggle ends and machined seats result in smoother crusher operation, longer life. Notice the arrangement of grooves for toggle-end lubrication.
A critical point in the operation of large jaw crushers is the arrangement of swing jaw and its supporting shaft. While in most crushers the jaw is pressed on the shaft and the latter swings in frame, in the jaw crusher the opposite principle is used—shaft is clamped in frame and jaw swings on shaft!
Another point has been lubrication. In operation, the actual movement of the swing jaw is relatively small. Result is difficulty in proper lubrication of bearing surfaces. The crusher uses a special means of lubrication and in addition is designed with the new replaceable, graphite-impregnated "Scor-proof" bushings which greatly reduce wear on expensive shaft—since these bushings, and not the shaft, now take the wear!
Jaw Crusher Automatic Lubrication
Very careful attention is required in the lubrication of heavy mechanical units like the jaw crusher. A thorough study made of existing types of lubrication systems resulted in the selection of a pair of systems which assure positive delivery of lubricant to point of maximum pressure.
The 48 by 42 inch jaw crusher and smaller sizes are force fed by an automatic high pressure lubricator to the swing jaw, pitman and main bearings as illustrated in Figure 1. A motor driven pump forces the lubricant through pressure buildup cylinders and out to distributors which dispense a precise amount to each of the points on the bearings. No oil return is provided.
The 60 by 48 inch jaw crusher and larger sizes are lubricated by a closed circuit oiling system to the pitman and main bearings, as illustrated by the solid lines in Figure 2, and by high pressure lubrication fittings connected to the swing jaw bearings, as illustrated by the dotted lines in Figure 2. A motor driven gear pump forces the oil through pressure type filters and a condenser type cooler to a distribution manifold mounted on the crusher. The oil flows through the bearings, lubricating and cooling, and back to the reservoir for recirculation. The swing jaw bearings require servicing by portable grease equipment.
Jaw Crusher Capacity
The capacity of the jaw crusher is greater than that of conventional jaw crushers. One reason is its uniform-wear crushing chamber with full width receiving opening. Another reason—its more acute crushing angle.
Slippage is reduced packing and choking are prevented by a more even distribution of crushing action throughout the entire length of the crushing chamber. The result is a gradual reduction of material to the choking point increased capacity!
Capacities given below are approximate and are based on standard speeds, jaw motions and jaw plates, with feed of quarry or mine run material weighing 100 lb per cu ft crushed. Most stone and low grade ores are considered weighing 100 lb per cu ft crushed.
The table is based on continuous feeding. Reserve for normal interruption of feeding should be provided. A heavy duty apron feeder is recommended for most installations, particularly where large cars or trucks are used in the quarry or mine.
When feed to crushers is scalped over grizzlys or screens the amount of rejections, or material which will have to be crushed, should be determined in establishing the tonnage to be handled by the crusher. The amount of fines received from mine or quarry will vary widely depending on each application and should be taken into consideration in determining the overall capacity.
Whatever equipment you operate, you can be certain of careful, considerate handling of orders for repair or replacement parts. In most cases parts are shipped directly from stock—you're assured of fast delivery. View at left shows small portion of crushing, cement and mining equipment parts normally carries.
Repair parts temporarily depleted or not carried in stock will be furnished in time to meet requirements whenever possible. Anticipation of future needs, placing orders in advance, will greatly aid in avoiding unforeseen delays. Genuine parts are exact duplicates or improvements of original components of your machinery not makeshift substitutes.

MLB All-Star Game Memorable Moments
The Major League Baseball All-Star Game, also known as the "Midsummer Classic", is an annual baseball game between players from the National League (NL) and the American League (AL), currently selected by a combination of fans, players, coaches, and managers. The All-Star Game usually occurs on the second Tuesday in July and marks the symbolic halfway point in the Major League Baseball (MLB) season (though not the mathematical halfway point; in most seasons, that actually takes place one week earlier). The game is usually played on a Tuesday, with no regular-season games scheduled on the day before or the day after. These are the only two calendar days in the year in which no regular-season or preseason games in any of the major professional sports leagues of the United States are scheduled. From 1959 to 1962, two All-Star Games were held each season, but this format was abandoned.
We've made a PowerPoint presentation and a video to recall the memorable moments of MLB All-Star Game, enjoy!

Cobble Hill is Lucky to Have Brucie
If you cut Japanese sweet potatoes into scallop-sized rounds and fry them at too low a temperature they'll turn soggy. If the oil's too hot the skin will burn and leave you with raw starch underneath. But if you cook the pucks just right, something magical happens to the skin ,and the flesh is rendered sweet and delicate. If you adorn the potatoes with segments of winter citrus, lime mayo, and mint, as Zahra Tangorra does at her three-and-a-half-year-old Court Street restaurant Brucie, the preliminary dish sets a high standard for the rest of the meal.
Order Bread and Butter ($3) and you'll be surprised when a mound of crusty bread, warmed through and kissed with olive oil, is brought out on a sturdy plate with a heap of butter that's been buzzed with Stumptown coffee beans. The coffee butter melts graciously onto that bread and serves as an early portrayal of Tangorra's knack for making the ordinary extraordinary with the inclusion of a simple ingredient.
Brussel Sprouts ($13) buried beneath a carefully placed mound of wood sorrel could be filed under New Nordic in their presentation, but the flavors hit closer to home. The sprouts are slow-roasted until each of their little cores melt into a succulent mash. They share a consistency with the bed of whipped chickpeas they're served on, and while I didn't think soft was a preferred way to eat Brussels sprouts, their outer leaves retain crunch and textural integrity. Couple that with a salty jab from bacon lardons, a briny right hook delivered by tuna conserva, and a crunchy uppercut from a handful of Marcona almonds, and the dish is a knock out.
I had clam pasta at a friend's house recently that comes close to the Linguine with White Clam Sauce ($18) at Brucie. But my friend didn't make his own pasta, nor did his sauce reach the luxurious texture of the one Tangorra makes with butter and lemon. Both pastas had the perfect kick from clean chilies, but my friend kept the majority of the clams to himself and didn't think to garnish our lunch with bright orange trout roe.
I don't use lemon zest when I make meatballs like Tangorra does for Brucie's Spaghetti and Meatballs ($18), and despite the zip of freshness it adds, likely won't moving forward. But a dish without a surprise ingredient at Brucie is like a New York Yankee not in pinstripes. The sauce is won't to go to waste, and we saved the dishwasher a bowl by using lingering pieces of bread to clean the excess, still flaked with Pecornio after the noodles disappeared.
Brucie offers chicken for two on frequent occasion, but the preparation varies in synergy with Tangorra's whims. The night I was there she channeled Caribbean warmth with Jerk Chicken for Two ($45). When it arrived on a grandiose tray, none of us looked up from the carefully roasted half-bird—delicately spiced with cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg—resting atop red rice, yogurt, and orange-rum agrodolce until our napkins were on the table, our chairs were pushed back, and we brought our hands to our stomachs in submission. What was the left-field ingredient in the jerk spice, I asked. The answer: lavender.
Beneath all the cleverness there's a simplicity to Brucie's food. It's comforting without the kitsch, as unique and special as the well-done list of mostly natural wines and a staff as dedicated as chef Tangorra. For inspiration, the average home cook could turn to the ever-changing menu, though take note—anyone can fry potatoes, roast vegetables, and braise meats, but few can do it as well as Tangorra.

Tigers down Mariners 6-3
Sat., May 31, 2014
SEATTLE – Victor Martinez and Miguel Cabrera hit two-out homers off Seattle starter Hisashi Iwakuma, Detroit's Justin Verlander made just one mistake on the mound in 7 2/3 strong innings, and the Tigers beat the Mariners 6-3 on Friday night.
Cabrera hit a two-run homer in the third off Iwakuma (3-2) to give the Tigers a 2-0 lead. Martinez followed two innings later with a three-run shot on the 10th pitch of the at-bat and after Seattle intentionally walked Cabrera. It was the 13th homer of the season for Martinez, who had two hits to raise his A.L.-leading average to .347.
Verlander (6-4) had lost three of his previous four starts and gave up 11 hits in each of his last two outings. He allowed five hits, struck out seven and walked one.
Verlander was on the cusp of getting through the eighth for just the second time this season, but James Jones' two-out single forced a change. Verlander threw a season-high 120 pitches.
Joba Chamberlain pitched the ninth for his second save.
Iwakuma lasted six innings in his shortest start of the season. He gave up nine hits and four runs in his last outing against Houston in picking up his first loss, but his problem on Friday was the long ball. Cabrera's homer came on the first pitch of the at-bat, but it was the mistake to Martinez that Iwakuma will want back.
Iwakuma left a slider chest-high and in the middle of the plate. Martinez didn't miss, clearing the wall in right for his ninth home run in May.
Rajai Davis added a solo shot on the first pitch from reliever Charlie Furbush in the seventh, his fourth homer of the season.
Seattle played without second baseman Robinson Cano for the second straight night, sitting out with a minor contusion on his hand. Cano was a late scratch from Thursday's lineup, but said before Friday's game that he was feeling better. He has played at least 159 games in each of the past seven seasons.
Verlander's only troubles came with Seattle's Kyle Seager, who doubled in his first at-bat and hit a two-run homer in the fourth to pull the Mariners even. Seager was thrown out at home trying to score on an infield groundball in the second, but made up for it with his eighth homer of the season in the fourth.
The Mariners had a chance in the fifth after Endy Chavez's two-out double, but second baseman Ian Kinsler swallowed Jones' hard one-hopper and threw him out to save a run.
It was the first time for M's manager Lloyd McClendon facing the Tigers. He was on Jim Leyland's coaching staff in Detroit from 2006-13. … Cabrera's HR snapped Iwakuma's streak of scoreless innings against A.L. Central teams at 50 1/3.

text: Sir Alex Ferguson wants to keep Nani – but warned the Manchester United winger his performances will dictate whether he gets his wish for a regular first-team berth. Press Association Ferguson added: "He is one of the best match winners in the game – and I am including the whole of Europe. He has scored the most incredible goals. The boy has a talent for winning matches." Never was that more in evidence than on Monday, when Nani's emergence from the bench inspired United's FA Cup win over Reading. The 26-year-old scored the Red Devils' opener against Brian McDermott's men, then provided the cross from which Javier Hernandez netted his 15th goal of the season to seal a home quarter-final with either Chelsea or Middlesbrough. It is the kind of intervention that has been seen all too rarely at Old Trafford in recent times, even if Ferguson acknowledges injuries have not been kind. "We sent him back to Portugal for treatment on a hamstring injury that kept him out for more than six weeks," the Scot said. "Before that, he never had an injury. Now he is back, fit and training well. "He is a consideration and it gives me a headache because Antonio Valencia has been a fantastic player for us and we also have Ashley Young and Ryan Giggs, so our options are fantastic." Talks about a new contract have been ongoing for quite a while now without resolution. The likelihood still appears that the player will choose to leave in the summer. "We have been speaking to Nani's agent for quite a few weeks now but it is entirely up to the boy himself," Ferguson said. "I would prefer to keep him until the end of his contract. He wants guaranteed first-team football. Performances like the other night can guarantee that. We are trying our best because he is such a match-winner." For the past 18 months Nani's influence on United has waned, while there have also been wranglings over contracts, with the Red Devils apparently unwilling to offer the Portugal international the kind of terms he wants. With 18 months left on his present deal, Zenit St Petersburg made an inquiry during the recent transfer window, while the completion of Wilfried Zaha's move from Crystal Palace next summer has been viewed as a clear signal of impending departure. Yet Ferguson said: "I would definitely prefer to keep him."

Thanks to someone who recognized the picture of my office and e-mailed me about it we have yet another contestant for the annual hall of shame awards for being the crummiest office thief. This time it's a company called JLBCTech, located at 1200 Smith St, Suite #1600, Houston, Texas 77002 (713-623-1266). According to the blog associated with their business website for JLBCTech;
We provide computer support in Houston with both Home Offices and Small Business since 2007 and we have been fortunate to be to work with some amazing home office setups. Here's a small collection of some of our clients that have home offices that have blown our minds and redefined the word Home Office
The crap above was posted by them on September 21, 2012. So let me get this straight, then. The text above comes associated with a picture of my home office. A home office that, based on the pictures used, was located in THE NETHERLANDS (and is currently being moved to California) and most certainly not in Houston, TX.
Even more offensive is the fact that JLBCTech claims the pictures on their site are of home offices of "some of their clients". That's news to me because I certainly am not, nor ever will be, a client of this JLBCTech place. I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them based on how they have taken images from different places, clearly without permission, and then using them to make their business look either interesting or "high tech" to those who may not know any better. Where I'm from we have a word for companies and folks like that; scammers!
If you look at the other offices they have on their site you may suspect that these people at JLBCTech are pretty big LIARS. If you look at the image titled "Home Office in The Woodlands" you may recognize the office as belonging to Mickey Slater in Portland Oregon. Likewise, the image titled "Mac Setup in Home Office in The Woodlands TX. Apart from the beautiful Mac Setup that this is, what caught our eye was the custom chair…Very relaxing chair" actually belongs to Carl-Johan Kihlbom from Sweden.
The company JLBCTech is run by Jonathan Cardoza, Bessy Cardoza, Josue Cardoza and Sergio Meza, according to the website's "about" page. I assume these Cardoza's are all family. They might not be, but if they are, then I must conclude that copyright infringement and lying must "run in the family" because certainly, any of these people at JLBCTech Computer Repair must have been very aware that these offices are not of their so-called "clients".
JLBCTech reminds me a lot of AwareBear Computers (a computer repair place in Pittsford, New York). They claim to do virus removal, data recovery, small business solutions, and Web Design and SEO Social Media. Again, I should warn everyone reading this to ever do any business with a company that so clearly lies about their stuff and have no problem using copyrighted material they have had no permission to use. You want these people to design your site? So you can be liable for whatever material they might integrate on it?
It is almost creepy to see how much JLBCTech reminds me of Andre Alves and AwareBear. Maybe there is something really wrong with a lot of these types of "computer repair" places that appear to have a need to show off things they have absolutely no involvement in. I wonder if it's a virus that's going around at these places. Clearly it's a virus they have not been able to remove and will need a little extra "help".

This story appears in the November 1997 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
Your brainstorm about relieving your overworked employees without additional costs sounds flawless: Bring in some students from the local college as unpaid interns, promise them valuable experience and perhaps some college credit, and put them to work on routine chores. Better think twice, though, or you'll risk running afoul of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
A public relations agency in Atlanta learned the hard way after billing clients for work performed by its interns. The U.S. Department of Labor investigated and found the agency had violated one of the six criteria for distinguishing interns from employees: The business must not gain immediate advantage from the interns' work. The Labor Department extracted a settlement requiring the agency to pay interns $31,520 in back wages and to pay current and future interns the federal minimum wage.
Donald T. O'Connor, an attorney with law firm Buchanan Ingersoll PC in Pittsburgh whose labor and employment law practice focuses on wage and hour issues, notes that interns can be ideal workers--hungry to learn, eager to make good impressions and willing to perform the most menial tasks. And an internship program gives your company a pool of potential employees who already know your business. "You can see how they perform and how they take instructions," O'Connor says. But, he adds, it's a mistake to think of interns as cheap labor.
Unless your internship program is essentially educational, your interns may look suspiciously like employees, who are entitled to the federal minimum wage. (The FLSA, which established the minimum wage and overtime requirements, applies to all companies with two or more employees and annual sales of at least $500,000.)
The Big Six
The Labor Department's Wage and Hour Field Operations Manual sets six criteria for distinguishing interns from employees:
1. Although the training might include equipment and procedures specific to this employer, it must consist primarily of experiences similar to those offered in a vocational school. It's not enough just to put the interns to work with supervision. For instance, when a snack-food distributor merely had interns help a driver service a regular route for a week, the Labor Department required the employer to pay them for the work.
2. The intern must not displace regular employees and must work under close observation. Farming work out to unpaid interns after a regular employee quits would raise a red flag.
3. The interns are not necessarily entitled to a job at the completion of the internship. If they are, the experience looks more like the training period at the start of a new job, for which they'd be entitled to fair wages.
4. Both the employer and the interns must understand that the interns are not entitled to wages for the time spent in training.
5. The training must be primarily for the benefit of the intern. That means, O'Connor says, that your interns can't just be making coffee, running errands or catching up on filing. Although such tasks might be incidental to the position, the majority of the experience must be designed with the intern's education in mind.
6. The employer providing the training must derive no immediate advantage from the activities of the intern, whose presence may on occasion actually impede the employer's operations. Although an internship program will benefit your business over the long term by providing a pool of trained applicants with familiar work habits, it's not meant to be a source of free labor.
Greater benefit
While the Labor Department closely adheres to its six criteria, courts tend to look at the spirit of the internship program as a whole. Is it basically an educational endeavor with side benefits for the business, or more like a job that trainees learn? Who benefits most from the arrangement? For instance, a fire department in Colorado required all job applicants who had passed a battery of tests to enroll in its firefighting academy for 10 unpaid weeks of training. Four firefighters later appealed to the Labor Department, claiming they should have been paid minimum wage for those 10 weeks.
The Labor Department sued the fire department, claiming that the academy didn't count as an internship because the trainees fully expected to be hired at the end of the training period. The U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado dismissed the case. The 10th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals upheld the dismissal decision, noting that on the whole, the academy was more like schooling than like a job. The program was similar to vocational firefighting courses, and the skills taught were transferable to other fire departments. The trainees' expectations of jobs at the end of the program weren't enough to entitle them to wages.
Although few small businesses would run a training academy, the basic question is the same if you're bringing in a few interns: Is this an educational experience primarily for the benefit of the interns or a cheap way to get your extra work done? "If all you're doing is having them do file clerk work, that's not an internship," O'Connor says. Employers often argue that the educational aspect is the students' exposure to the work environment, but if that's all they're getting, it's not educational enough.
When an internship is set up through a local college or university, students can often obtain academic credit for their effort. The fact that they're receiving credit, though, doesn't mean they're not also entitled to minimum wage if your business derives immediate benefit from their labor. Check with the administrator of internships at the college to make sure your program meets their criteria and doesn't break any laws. O'Connor warns against being a "nice guy," however, and volunteering a small stipend to interns because it looks suspiciously like you're offering a below-minimum wage. Offer benefits or a gift if you like, he says, but avoid payments of money unless they're at least minimum wage.
Equal rights
In general, unpaid interns have the same legal rights as your employees. They may not be discriminated against because of race, gender, religion or national origin; they have a right to request reasonable accommodation under the Americans With Disabilities Act; and they may seek damages if they experience sexual, racial or ethnic harassment. It's best to cover them for workers' compensation, too, because if they're injured on the job and not covered, they can sue your business for medical expenses and possibly for negligence, which can subject your business to unlimited damages.
Because of the temporary nature of a student internship, though, you don't have to pay unemployment compensation premiums for interns. Nor do you need to go through the usual termination procedures if the student isn't working out; a simple explanation to the student and the school will suffice.
Even if students eagerly offer to work without pay and sign a contract waiving their right to the minimum wage, the Labor Department may insist they be paid anyway if their efforts benefit your business. So if your goal is cheap labor, better pay minimum wage. But if you'd really like to help students learn while you test-drive some potential employees, call your local college about a genuine internship.

Activism consists of efforts to promote, impede, or direct social, political, economic, or environmental change, or stasis. Various forms of activism range from writing letters to newspapers or politicians, political campaigning, economic activism such as boycotts or preferentially patronizing businesses, rallies, street marches, strikes, sit-ins, and hunger strikes. Research is beginning to explore how activist groups in the United States[1] and Canada are using social media to facilitate civic engagement and collective action.[2]
Activists can function in roles as public officials, as in judicial activism. Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., introduced the term "judicial activism" in a January 1947 Fortune magazine article titled "The Supreme Court: 1947".[3] Activists are also public watchdogs and whistle blowers, attempting to understand all the actions of every form of government that acts in the name of the people: all government must be accountable to oversight and transparency. Activism is an engaged citizenry.
Some activists try to persuade people to change their behavior directly, rather than to persuade governments to change or not to change laws. Other activists try to persuade people to remain the same, in an effort to counter change. The cooperative movement seeks to build new institutions which conform to cooperative principles, and generally does not lobby or protest politically.
As with those who engage in other activities such as singing or running, the term may apply broadly to anyone who engages in it even briefly, or be more narrowly limited to those for whom it is a vocation, habit, or characteristic practice. In the narrower sense, environmental activists that align themselves with Earth First or Road Protestors would commonly be labeled activists, whilst a local community fighting to stop their park or green being sold off or built on would fit the broader application, due to their using similar means to similarly conservative ends. In short, activism is not always an action by Activists.[4]
The Internet
For more than fourteen years, groups involved in various forms of activism have been using the Internet to advance organizational goals. It has been argued that the Internet helps to increase the speed, reach and effectiveness of activist-related communication as well as mobilization efforts, and as a result has had a positive impact on activism in general.[2][5][6][7]
Activism industry
The activism industry consists of organizations and individuals engaged in activism. Activism is often done full-time, as part of an organization's core business. Many organizations in the activism industry are either non profit organizations or non-governmental organizations. Most activist organizations do not manufacture goods.[citation needed]
The term activism industry has often been used to refer to outsourced fundraising operations. However, activist organizations engage in other activities as well.[8] Lobbying, or the influencing of decisions made by government, is another activist tactic. Many groups, including law firms, have designated staff assigned specifically for lobbying purposes. In the United States, lobbying is regulated by the federal government.[9]
Many government systems encourage public support of non-profit organizations by granting various forms of tax relief for donations to charitable organizations. Governments may attempt to deny these benefits to activists by restricting the political activity of tax-exempt organizations.

When it comes to charitable giving, people respond to their immediate emotions, study says
(PhysOrg.com) -- When considering giving money to humanitarian crises people often donate in response to events that grab their immediate emotions, according to a recent study by researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder and Dresden University of Technology in Germany.
"The question we wanted to answer with our study is what is the impact of people's emotions on their decisions to make charitable donations," said CU-Boulder psychology Professor Leaf Van Boven, who co-authored the study. "We demonstrated that people act on what is immediately emotionally arousing to them. In other words, they respond to what makes them upset in the here and now."
In the study, Van Boven and his colleagues asked participants to watch four short nonfiction films from the organization Doctors Without Borders depicting people suffering from crises such as malnutrition and diseases like tuberculosis in different countries outside the United States. The participants were then asked to allocate $100 between the different needs.
When asked to donate after seeing all of the films in a sequence, they gave a disproportionate amount to the last film they saw. But when asked to donate a portion of their funds after each film, they gave more to the earlier films in the sequence, indicating to the researchers that people give a disproportionate share of their available resources to crises that arouse their immediate emotions.
"If you are a charitable organization and your objective is to capture people's attention and encourage them to take action, this shows that you really want to strike when the iron is hot,' " Van Boven said. "It also has broader implications in that if you don't do something to keep an issue present in people's minds -- such as famine and genocide in Africa, which tend not to be at the forefront of attention -- then they won't be compelled to act on that issue."
Many national organizations are aware of these tendencies, Van Boven said, and are using technology to reach out to the public, often immediately following tragic events like the 2010 earthquake in Haiti.
"Right after the Haitian earthquake the Red Cross made it very easy for people to make donations with their cell phones by texting, which is a huge advance in facilitating immediate, emotionally driven action," Van Boven said. "There's a lot of wisdom in facilitating immediate action from the point of view of understanding human psychology and getting people to respond when their emotions are most intense."
Urging immediate action is important, such as when there is a major earthquake or tsunami that affects hundreds of thousands of people and help is urgently needed, he said. However, Van Boven says people should always take some time to think through their decision to give.
"Before donating to a cause, no matter how worthy it may seem, people might take a moment to think about whether the cause that is immediately upsetting them is really the cause that is most deserving of charitable donations," Van Boven said. "Sometimes human suffering that captures immediate attention displaces attention and concern to suffering that, for whatever reason, does not trigger immediate emotions.
"We don't know how much time is necessary, whether it's a day or five minutes, but we found that giving people time to collect their thoughts completely erases this immediacy effect. So allowing yourself some time to cool off' can help you make wiser charitable decisions."
The study was published in the July issue of the journal Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes. Co-authors on the paper were Michaela Huber of Dresden University of Technology, CU-Boulder Associate Professor Peter McGraw and CU-Boulder graduate student Laura Johnson-Graham.
Van Boven's campus laboratory, the Emotion, Decisions, Judgment and Intuition Lab, also has examined the broader issue of how and why people make decisions based on the immediate emotions they experience.
"This type of research is important because understanding how people make decisions of who to donate to can help answer the broader question of how people's emotions affect their decisions regarding environmental risks, terrorist threats and personal health risks," he said.
