Obituary: Ernest Hawkins
Examples of his craftsmanship in marble can be seen in Westminster Cathedral. Designed by the then cathedral architect, LH Shattock, they include the 'knobs' on the staircase to the pulpit, added at the time of its remodelling in 1934, and the screen to St Patrick's Chapel. Bentley's daughter, Winefride de l'Hopital, disliked this so much that she wanted it removed, but, whatever one may think of the design, the execution is faultless.

Texas Republicans Should Support the New Immigration Plank!IMMIGRATION Who Is Responsible For The Immigration Wedge In The Republican Party?The following is research conducted by Texans For Sensible Immigration Reform: Introduction: When you need advice you talk to someone you trust because you know that person's view of the world is one you share.

If that person stands in opposition to you in those respects, would it change your mind about following their advice? It probably should. The GOP is in the same position on immigration. Posted under:
Jerry Patterson Answers FAQs on Immigration, The Texas Solution, & RPT PlatformIsn't the Texas Solution in the 2012 RPT platform actually amnesty? Actually not. Going back to the 2010 RPT platform would be closer to amnesty than the 2012 platform. Why? Because the 2010 platform did not address what to do with the 12,000,000 illegals already here. Therefore, the 2010 platform maintained the status quo of doing nothing which most would agree is de facto amnesty. Posted under:

Guest Worker Visas Can Halt Illegal ImmigrationThe following was written by Alex Nowrasteh of the Cato Institute: There is a trade off between the number of lower skilled guest worker visas and the number of unauthorized immigrants. More lower skilled guest workers means fewer unauthorized immigrants. Fewer guest workers mean more unauthorized immigrants. We just have to look back to the Bracero program to see this relationship.

Ronaldinho expects World Cup 2014 hopes are over after Atletico Mineiro suffer shock exit from Club World Cup
The Brazilian side were beaten by Raja Casablanca
Ronaldinho's hopes that a good performance at the Club World Cup might earn a Brazil recall have been dashed by Atletico Mineiro's shock elimination at the hands of Raja Casablanca.
The ever-grinning former World Player of the Year gave two tantalising glimpses of his unique talent before drowning in a sea of mediocrity in Wednesday's match.
He scored Atletico's only goal in the 3-1 defeat with an exquisite free kick and, buoyed by that, cheekily flicked the ball over an opponent to send the Brazilian fans into raptures.
For most of the game, however, Ronaldinho, 33, looked off the pace and ponderous as the ageing South American champions were upstaged by a team of run-of-the-mill Moroccan league players. The low point was when he tried to pass a defender with a cheeky dribble on the byline and was easily dispossessed.
Ronaldinho won the World Cup with Brazil in 2002, was part of the team which went out in the quarter-finals amid high expectations in 2006 and was omitted altogether by coach Dunga in 2010 in South Africa.
His performance on Wednesday was painfully similar to his ineffectual display for Brazil in a 2-1 friendly defeat to England last February in Luiz Felipe Scolari's first game in charge of the five-times world champions.
On that occasion, Ronaldinho was substituted at halftime after missing a penalty and performing sluggishly.
Scolari gave him a couple more run-outs in low-key friendlies but was clearly unimpressed and left him out of the Confederations Cup squad in June.
With the 2014 World Cup on the horizon, Ronaldinho had been hoping to earn another chance by leading Atletico to the title in Saturday's final against Bayern Munich.
"I'm just thinking about Atletico. I want to make the fans happy, represent my country and my club," he said on Monday. "But if we all play well here, then the whole world will see it."
"Everyone knows what I've achieved but I want to prove that I'm in good form and to reach the highest point which there is in Brazilian football, which is the national team."
Ronaldinho's performance was especially dispiriting as he had spared no effort to be ready in time for the Club World Cup after suffering a thigh injury in September.
It was initially feared he would be out for the rest of the year but, amid almost daily coverage of his race to be fit in time, he recovered quicker than expected and scored two goals for Atletico as he returned on the final day of the season.
The former AC Milan and Barcelona's career has been in a long, slow decline since he was chosen as FIFA's World Player of the Year award for a second time in 2005, blamed mainly on his partying lifestyle.
However, he enjoyed resurgence after his move to Atletico last year, raising hopes that he could get another chance for Brazil, but all that went down the drain in the frenzied atmosphere of the Stade de Marrakech.
"Of course I'm dejected," he told the Sportv network. "The expectations were huge, it's been a marvellous year and we have gone down in the club's history.
"This is tough, we'll have to see what's left for us."
As he trooped dejectedly off the pitch, Ronaldinho was surrounded by admiring Raja Casablanca players, a sign of the adulation he still enjoys in many parts of the world but is more a sign of his past than his present.

One Notre Dame fan just spent a healthy amount of time decorating his front yard for the National Championship. You can see that whoever this fan is, he created a pretty detailed replica of a football field with a Notre Dame emblem in the middle.
Hopefully his team doesn't disappoint him after his tireless efforts to decorate for the game.

Caring surgeon humbled by award
43-year career recognised
AMANDA PARKINSONRelevant offers
He is known as the "gentle giant" of Southland Hospital and has a surgery career that spans 43 years.
Dr Murray Pfeifer has been awarded the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons' Rural Surgeon's Award for his commitment to medicine in Southland and Otago.
Pfeifer said he was honoured to be recognised by his peers, but humbled by the award too.
"Across Australasia there are hundreds of surgeons working outside a metropolitan setting and 99 per cent of them are providing high quality care to their patients and communities . . . any one of them would be equally worthy, if not more so than me - which is why I feel quite humble about it," he said.
Originally an Auckland boy, Pfeifer went to school with Invercargill's Mayor Tim Shadbolt at Remuera Primary School before migrating south to study medicine at Otago University.
Decades later, the two old school friends sat at the head table of Saturday's award ceremony in Dunedin, where the mayor gave the guest speech and Pfeifer received the prestigious rural surgeons award.
Despite his Auckland heritage, and early in his career an urge to return to the north, Pfeifer has spent almost all his career based at Southland - the place he now fondly calls home. "A lot of the friends I made in Southland were very special people, indefinable, they just sort of stood out," he said.
It was those friends that nominated Pfeifer for both his commitment to patients but also for his mentoring to young surgeons.
Long-term colleague and friend Dr Julian Speight said Pfeifer was the quintessential general surgeon.
"[He] provides surgical cover for subspecialty interest as wide ranging as breast and endocrine, vascular, paediatric surgery . . . Not to mention he is the bread and butter of general surgery."
Speight said Pfeifer continues to teach medical students with the same vigour and enthusiasm he did 30 years ago.
Someone who knows his qualities is Southland Hospital nurse Jan Jacobson who has worked with Pfeifer for more than 35 years. She said he has always cared for his patients.
"He is really caring, he goes out of his way to work for his patients," she said.
She said his dedication and commitment to ensuring the people of Southland have access to a high standard of professional health care makes him a worthy recipient of the prestigious award.
Since the college was established in 1927, only eight people have received the Rural Surgeons Award.

US 4134655 A Abstract A self-developing camera utilizes a fixed cam surface and a resilient deflector strip to introduce a local longitudinal bend in a film unit as it proceeds over a relatively short portion of a film processing path from the nip of a pair of processing rollers to an exit slot. The deflector strip is secured near the end of the cam surface adjacent the exit slot with a free edge positioned to intercept the film unit proceeding from the rollers across the cam surface. The strip itself deflects upon engagement with the film unit to exert a spring force that produces in the film unit the local longitudinal bending which enhances distribution of a fluid photoprocessing composition within the film unit over its entire image-forming photosensitive area and in a layer of generally uniform thickness. The strip, however, is spaced sufficiently from the rollers and is sufficiently resilient so that it does not impede the ejection, through the same processing path, of a relatively stiff dark slide which is packaged with the film units for protection and optical shielding prior to exposure.
Claims(7) 1. In a self-developing camera for use with a cassette holding a plurality of film units in stacked relation with the foremost film unit covered by a dark slide having a greater stiffness than said film units, said camera including means for advancing the dark slide and the film units one at a time from a first end of the cassette in a first direction, said dark slide having diagonally-trimmed leading corners at each side of a straight leading edge, and each film unit including a supply of photo-processing composition, means for controlling the distribution of said composition within each film unit over a photosensitive portion thereof, comprising in combination:

Description This invention relates in general to photographic apparatus. More particularly it provides a film unit deflection system for use in self-developing cameras to control the distribution of a fluid photoprocessing composition within a self-processing film unit after a set of pressure-applying rollers initiate development of the film unit. In self-processing film units of the type described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,415,644 and 3,594,165, a layer of a viscous fluid photoprocessing composition is spread over the exposed photosensitive surface to develop the image. The photoprocessing composition is typically held in a container at a forward edge of the film unit. The development process is initiated within the camera by passing the exposed film unit through the nip of a pair of pressure-applying rollers which rupture the container and spread the composition over the exposed photosensitive surface by a squeezing action. Usually these film units are packaged in stacked relation in a film container or cassette that is conveniently loaded in the camera. To protect the film units from damage and exposure to light, the foremost film unit in the stack is covered by an opaque "dark slide" that is usually in the form of a rectangular piece of cardboard. The dark slide is stiffer than the film units and therefore exhibits a greater resistance to longitudinal bending than the film units. When the cassette is loaded in the camera, the dark slide is removed from the cassette in the same manner as the film units, that is, by advancement along a film processing path defined by the processing rollers, various film guide structures, and a film exit slot. While the processing rollers are a generally effective arrangement for releasing and spreading the photoprocessing fluid over the photosensitive area of the film unit, the photoprocessing fluid tends to distribute in an uneven manner which detracts from the quality of the fully of the fully developed print. In particular, because the film unit is formed of flexible layers that are bound at their edges, the layer of photoprocessing fluid tends to be thicker at the central portions of the film unit than at its lateral portions and often fails to fill the trailing corners of the photosensitive area. Such voids result in dark, undeveloped corners on the resultant photograph. On approach to solving these maldistribution problems described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,799,770 and 3,820,137, proposes that the film container and the camera, respectively, have structures for applying a secondary pressure to a central portion of the film unit to force the photoprocessing composition toward the edges of the film unit. Another prior solution is to influence the distribution of the composition by bending the film unit after it emerges from the processing rollers. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,810,211 describes a camera having a structure for inducing in the film unit a downward bend that places the upper flexible layer of the film under tension and the lower flexible layer under compression, and which thereby results in the desired distribution of the composition. In this camera, the deflecting structure is a plate which also acts as a light-shielding member. In other self-developing camera, where the distance between the processing rollers and the exit slot is relatively short, (approximately 3/4 inch or 19.0 millimeters) an equivalent bending of the film unit is achieved by a smooth cam surface that deflects the film unit downwardly from the processing rollers to an exit slot. A commonly assigned, copending U.S. application Ser. No. 554,780, filed Mar. 3, 1975, now U.S. Pat. No. 3,994,002, by Andrew, S. Ivestor for "Self-Developing Camera with Film Unit Deflecting Structure" describes such a camming surface. It is also known to form a pair of raised areas on this camming surface that are aligned with the longitudinal edges of the film unit as described in the commonly assigned, copending U.S. application Ser. No. 648,672, filed Jan. 13, 1976, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,016,578, by the present applicant for "Photographic Film Processing Apparatus." These raised areas tend to enhance the distribution in a manner that reduces the likelihood of voids at the trailing corners of the film unit. These fluid distribution arrangements, however, have been found to be unsatisfactory for use with certain photoprocessing compositions which are more viscous than conventional compositions, particularly at low temperatures which increase the viscosity of the composition. One way to properly distribute the more viscous composition is to increase the degree of bending of the film unit after it leaves the processing rollers. In cameras such as those marketed by the Polaroid Corporation under the registered designation SX-70, there is a sufficiently long distance between the rollers and the exit slot to accommodate this increased bending without adversely affecting other operations of the camera. In other cameras with more severe space limitations, such as the camera marketed by the Polaroid Corporation under the registered trade designation Pronto!, the necessary increase in bending can be achieved by a raised area or "bump" extending across the cam surface in a direction transverse to the direction of advance of the film units. When this modification in the cam surface is made, however, it has been found that the dark slide fails to eject from the camera with the desired degree of reliability and smoothness. This is because the dark slide is stiffer than the film units, and therefore requires an increased driving force to bend it toward the exit slot, but which can exceed the frictional engaging force between the processing rollers and the dark slide. As a result, the rollers tend to slip over the dark slide and it fails to eject. To correct this malfunction, it is necessary to open the camera and manually remove the dark slide. This is inconvenient, and is likely to expose one or more of the film units in the cassette. It is therefore a principal object of this invention to provide a film unit deflection system for a self-developing camera and which produces a distribution of the process composition that covers the entire photosensitive area of the film unit, even at elevated viscosities associated with low temperatures, while at the same time not impeding the elimination of the dark slide from the camera. Another object of the invention is to provide a deflection system which achieves the aforementioned advantages within a relatively short distance. A further object of the invention is to provide a deflection system that is simple, has a relatively low cost of manufacture, and requires a minimum redesign of present camera structures. A self-developing camera according to the invention utilizes a fixed, inclined can surface and a resilient member to deflect a self-processing film unit as it proceeds from a pair of processing rollers to an exit slot in the camera housing. The resilient member is located intermediate the cam surface and the exit slot and is oriented with a longitudinal axis aligned generally parallel to the exit slot and to the processing rollers. A portion of the resilient member is substantially fixed and another portion, adjacent a free edge, is positioned to engage the film unit as it leaves the cam surface. The member is sufficiently stiff that is engagement with the film unit develops a spring force that acts on the film unit to produce a local longitudinal bending. The bending is of sufficient magnitude to distribute a uniformly thick layer of a photoprocessing composition over the image-forming area of the film unit with no voids, even at the trailing corners. The resilient member, however presents a sufficiently low resistance to the advance of a dark slide, which is generally stiffer than the film units, so that it advances to the exit slot without losing its driving frictional engagement with the rollers. The relatively low resistance of the resilient member to the advance of the dark slide is understood to result from at least two factors, the flexibility of the member and its placement forward of the rollers to produce deflection with a relatively large radius of curvature. Preferably the resilient member is formed from a thin strip of a plastic material and the portion of the strip adjacent the free edge is angled obliquely with respect to and in the direction of advance of the dark slide and film units to promote the passage of the dark slide and to reduce fatigue of the strip after repeated deflections. These and other features and objects of the invention will be more fully understood from the following detailed description which should be read in light of the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a view in vertical section of a self-developing camera incorporating a film unit deflection system constructed according to the invention; FIG. 2 is a top plan view of a self-processing film unit shown in FIG. 1; FIG. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary view of the film processing and deflection system shown in FIG. 1 with a film unit entering the nip between the processing rollers; FIG. 4 is a view corresponding to FIG. 3 showing the film unit as it is deflected by the camming surface into engagement with the resilient member; FIG. 5 is a view corresponding to FIGS. 3 and 4 showing the film unit fully deflected by the resilient member with the portions of the film unit exterior to the camera covered by a retractable and extensible light shield; FIG. 6 is a perspective view with portions broken away corresponding to FIG. 5; FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a resilient member according to the invention; and FIG. 8 is a view of the resilient member shown in FIG. 7 engaging the leading edge of a dark slide. FIG. 1 shows a self-developing camera 10 of the type marketed by the Polaroid Corporation under the trade designation Pronto! and described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,967,304 and the commonly assigned, copending U.S. application Ser. No. 554,770, filed Mar. 3, 1975, now U.S. Pat. No. 3,987,589, by Donald H. Hendry, Andrew S. Ivester and Bruce K. Johnson for "Modular Photographic System" and with which the invention can be used. The camera has a relatively, thin rigid housing 12 that is light tight except at selected openings. The housing 12 supports various optical and mechanical elements such as an objective lens 14, a film container or cassette 16, a pair of processing rollers 18 and 20, at least one of which is driven, and a retractable and extensible light shield 22 of the type described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,940,774 to Ivester. The light shield 22 is shown in its retracted or coiled position within a film exit slot 24 formed in the lower front end of the housing 12. Light entering the camera 10 through the lens 14 is reflected by a mirror (not shown) through an exposure chamber 26 to expose a horizontally positioned film unit held in the cassette 16 at the camera image plane. For the purposes of this description the orientation of the cassette and the film units held in the cassette, as shown in FIGS. 1-5, will be assumed to be horizontal. Also, the right hand portions of the camera, as shown, will be described as the front or forward end. The cassette 16 holds a plurality of self-processable film units 28 in a stacked relation with their image-forming photosensitive surfaces facing upwardly toward the exposure chamber 26. The film units 28 are of the so-called integral negative-positive type and preferably of the type presently available for the camera marketed by the Polaroid Corporation under the registered designation SX-70. The cassette also includes a dark slide 30 (FIGS. 1 and 8) located at the top of the stack. The dark slide is essentially a generally rectangular sheet of a flexible, opaque material such as cardboard which is sufficiently large to completely block, and thereby optically shield, a generally square exposure opening (not shown) formed in the upper wall of the cassette 16. The dark slide typically is sufficiently stiff to protect the film unit from damage prior to insertion in the camera, and to serve as a mailer from the user as well as to carry instructional information. Due to these requirements, the typical dark slide is stiffer, i.e., more resistant to deflection, than a single film unit. The dark slide, like the underlying film units, is removed by a pick mechanism that advances the foremost element in the cassette, whether the dark slide or a film unit, through an opening 16a (FIGS. 3-5) in the front end of the cassette to the nip of the processing rollers 18 and 20. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3-5, the foremost element held in the cassette, and the nip of the processing rollers, are generally coplanar and define a substantially flat portion of a film processing path. Since the first element in the cassette is the most difficult to remove, the removal of the dark slide first, before the film units, has the advantage of reducing the likelihood of damage to one of the film units by frictional abrasion or by a malfunction of the pick mechanism. It should be noted that the stiffness of the dark slide resists an undesirable buckling of each slide during its removal. With reference to FIGS. 1-3, each film unit 28 is a substantially flat, multi-layer laminate structure having a generally rectangular configuration. The lateral or border portions 28b, 28c, 28d and 28e of the film unit are opaque and surround a generally square or rectangular photosensitive image-forming area 28a. The flexible laminas of the film unit 28 are secured together at these marginal portions. A front marginal portion 28b of each film unit contains a rupturable pod or container 32 that holds a fluid photoprocessing composition. The photoprocessing composition is approximately a million times as viscous as water. Moreover, the viscosity of the composition increases at "low" temperatures. The lowest recommended operating temperature for one currently available film is typically 45� F. With reference to FIGS. 3-8, a ramp member 34 secured to the housing 12 has an inclined surface 36 extending generally from the nip of the rollers 18 and 20 the camera exit slot 24. The upper or leading edge 36a of of the inclined cam surface 36 is positioned adjacent the nip of the processing rollers to intercept the film unit passing through the processing rollers. As the processing rollers rotate and drive the film unit forward, the cam surface 36 guides the film unit toward the exit slot 24 which is aligned generally parallel to the rollers 18 and 20 but displaced downwardly from the generally planar processing path portion defined by the foremost film unit or dark slide (coincident with the image plane) and the nip of the processing rollers. This plane is indicated in FIG. 5 by a construction line 38. A pair of raised portions 36c of the cam surface are generally aligned with the side portions 28c and 28d of the film units passing over the surface 36. A pair of clips 39 bear on the raised portion 36c to hold the rear portions 28e of a fully processed film unit and thereby retain it in the exit slot for removal. The clips 39 and raised portions 36c also ensure that a following unit will not bypass the light shield by advancing under the retained film unit. A resilient deflector strip 40 having a generally rectangular shape is secured adjacent the trailing edge 36b of the inclined cam surface. A relatively less flexible mounting bar 42 sandwiches a fixed portion 40a of the strip 40 that is adjacent a longitudinally extending edge 40b of the strip. Three backing pins 44 formed integrally with the mounting bar 42 each penetrate an opening 46 formed in the strip portion 40a and are secured in aligned openings in the ramp member 34 above the surface 36 to secure the strip 40 to the housing. The bar 42 also has locating pins (not shown) which mate with other openings 48 and 50 formed in the strip 40. The bar 42 is preferably formed from a molded thermosetting plastic of the type forming the housing 12 and is sufficiently resilient to allow the snap-fit engagement of the pins 44 in the housing-mounted member 34. Adjacent the longitudinally extending free edge 40c of the deflector strip 40 is a portion 40d which is obliquely angled toward the exit slot 24 in the direction of advance of the film units 30 and the dark slide 28 along the film processing path. This angling facilitates the passage of the film and dark slide and reduces the tendency of the strip 40 to fatigue and therefore fail to return to the same initial position after it is deflected and released. The angled portion 40d is spaced forward of the inclined cam surface, as shown. The strip portion 40d in its normal relaxed position (FIG. 3) intercepts the film unit or dark slide as it proceeds from the surface 36 to the exit slot as shown in FIGS. 4-5. The film unit or dark slide, driven forward by the rollers 18 and 20, displaces the portion 40d to a deflected position (FIGS. 4 and 5). Because the strip 40 is inherently resilient, this displacement of the portion 40d develops a spring force which produces a local longitudinal bending in the film unit over the processing path portion which extends between the processing rollers and the exit slot. It should be noted, as shown in FIG. 5, that once the leading edge of the film unit has passed the free edge 40c of the resilient strip, the film unit is deflected sufficiently to lose contact with the camming surface 36 and is in sliding engagement with the edge 40c. Preferably the light shield 22 is secured by clamping a mounting end between the plate 42 and the strip 40 so that in its retracted, coiled position the shield lies within the exit slot 24. As is best seen in FIGS. 5 and 6, as the film unit advances through the exit slot, it engages and extends the shield to prevent light from being piped longitudinally within the film unit. This light piping, if not controlled, will fog the "following" portions of the film unit which has not been fully processed. The shield is shorter than the film unit so that it disengages from it and recoils when the film unit is fully processed and held in the exit slot at its trailing edge 18d by the clips 39. It is important that the resilient strip 40, or any other structure of the camera, not restrict or impede the recoiling of the shield 22 to the position shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4. In operation, an exposed film unit is directed along the planar portion of the film processing path defined by the film plane and the nip of the processing rollers. The film unit 32 enters the processing rollers as shown in FIG. 3. The rollers are driven by an electric motor and gear train (not shown) which propel the film through the nip and toward the exit slot 24. The pressure exerted by the processing rollers 18 and 20 ruptures the pod 32 causing the fluid photoprocessing composition to be spread over the image-forming photosensitive area of the film unit. As the film unit emerges from the nip of the processing rollers, it engages the cam surface 36 formed on the ramp member 34 and then the resilient strip 40. The spreading of the photoprocessing composition continues in the portions of the film unit that have passed through the nip. The initial deflection of the film unit by the cam surface enhances this continued spreading. As the film unit leaves the surface 36 and comes under the control of the resilient strip 40, the local longitudinal bending introduced by the resilient strip is of a sufficient magnitude to distribute the composition in a layer of generally uniform thickness over all portions of the photosensitive area, even with compositions of increased viscosity and a low temperature near 45� F. In particular, a significant advantage of the present invention is that the resilient strip 40 introduces a larger deflection within the relatively short distance between the processing rollers and the exit slot as measured along the horizontal than conventional post roller-processing deflection systems employed in similar cameras presently on the market. Another significant advantage of the present invention is that it imposes this increased deflection by contact with the advancing film unit at a point spaced farther from the rollers than in conventional ramp type deflection systems utilizing raised portions or "bumps" to produce increased deflection. Because of this larger spacing, designated S in FIG. 5, the deflection system of the invention offers a sufficiently reduced resistance to the advance of the dark slide 28 through the deflected portion of the processing path so that the dark slide ejects reliably. that, is the blade-like strip 40 produces the deflection with a larger arc, or greater radius of curvature. More particularly, while the dark slide is relatively stiffer than the film units, and hence requires a greater propelling force to advance it along a curved path than a film unit, the required driving force varies roughly with the third power of the spacing between the rollers and the point of deflection. Since the deflection point with this invention (the point of contact with the portion 40d of the deflector strip) is spaced approximately twice as far from the rollers as the "bump" used heretofore, the required driving force is reduced roughly by a factor of eight. This reduction greatly reduces the likelihood that the dark slide will fail to eject. Another advantage of the increased spacing is that the dimensional tolerances of the deflecting elements are less critical. For example, the magnitude of the deflection of the film unit is less sensitive to variations in the distance the strip 40 projects into the processing path than to variations in the height of a deflecting bump formed on the cam surface at a point closer to the rollers. The advance of the dark slide is also facilitated by the flexibility of the strip 40. When the strip engages the relatively stiffer dark slide, the strip 40 itself deflects to a larger degree than when it engages a film unit. As a result, the dark slide is bent less than the film unit with a corresponding decrease in the resistance offered by the strip 40. To further promote the advance of the dark slide past the deflector strip 40, the strip is provided with a pair of open slots 54 which extend from its free longitudinal edge 40c through the angled portion 40d toward the fixed edge 40b. These slots are positioned along the edge 40c so that they are in alignment with the ends of the leading edge 28a of the dark slide at its diagonally trimmed leading corners 28b. As a result, upon its initial engagement with the strip 40, the advance of the dark slide is resisted only by the spring force of a central portion of the deflector strip lying between the slots 54, rather than by that of the entire length of the strip, i.e., the central portion plus both side portions which the strips define. This reduced initial impeding force to the movement of the dark slide also decreases the likelihood that the processing rollers will lose their driving engagement with the dark slide, causing the dark slide to fail to eject from the camera. By way of illustration but not of limitation, where the invention is used to deflect Polaroid SX-70 film units in a camera of the type marketed by the Polaroid Corporation under the trade designation Pronto!, which has a horizontal distance between the center line of the rollers and the forward edge of the exit slot measured along the horizontal of approximately 3/4 inch (19.0 mm), the resilient strip 40 preferably is formed from a sheet of 10 mil thick polyester plastic material sold by the E. I. DuPont de Nemours & Company under the trade designation Mylar. This strip has a modulus of elasticity of approximately 200,000 psi, an overall length of approximately 3 and 5/8 inches, an overall width or height of approximately 0.465 inches, an angle of bend of the portion 40c with respect to the fixed portion 40a of approximately twenty degrees, and slots 54 extending from the edge 40c for a distance for approximately 5/16 inch. There has been described a film unit deflection system for a self-developing camera which achieves a relatively high degree of local longitudinal bending within a relatively short distance while at the same time not impeding the passage of the stiffer dark slide to the extent that it fails to eject from the camera. The film deflection system is particularly useful in providing a complete and generally uniform distribution of fluid photoprocessing composition having an elevated viscosity as compared to standard compositions particularly at low operating temperatures. In addition, the film unit deflection system does not interfere with the re-entry of the retractable light shield into the exit slot of the camera, is reliable, has a relatively low cost of manufacture and can be used on self-developing cameras presently on the market with no modifications to these cameras other than simple installation of the strip to the existing structure. While the resilient strip 40 can be formed from materials other than a plastic, such as thin sheets of stainless steel, it has been found that thin metal strips act like cutting blades and are more likely to injure the film units or the user of the camera. It will also be understood that the dimensions and configuration of the resilient strip can be modified depending on features such as the degree of bending necessary to properly distribute the fluid photoprocessing composition, the available spacing between the processing rollers and the exit slot, the structural characteristics of the film unit and dark slide, and the nature of the fluid processing composition. Also, the ramp member 34 can be formed with a bevel edge located adjacent to the strip 40 and designed to support and position the angled portion 40d of the strip. These and other modifications will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the foregoing detailed description and the accompanying drawings. Such modifications are intended to fall within the scope of the appended claims. Patent Citations

London: Sep 4, 2014
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is likely to give its verdict on the allegations against former New Zealand captain Chris Cairns of perverting the course of justice while winning a libel case against former Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman Lalit Modi, this week.
According to media reports, Cairns has been investigated by the Metropolitan Police, who have passed on a file to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).
Cairns had won his libel trial against former Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman Lalit Modi in 2012, who had accused him of fixing. Cairns is now being investigated by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for his role in match-fixing.
Cairns lawyer Rhory Robertson told the reporters that the "CPS has not made a decision to charge Cairns although a ruling is expected in the final week of this month".
The 42-year-old Cairns had sued Modi, the former chairman of the Indian Premier League, over an "unequivocal allegation" which, he said, turned his achievements to "dust". In October 2012, Modi lost his appeal against a 90,000 pounts libel award to Cairns over the accusation of match-fixing.

Fact Check: Do off-the-course distractions really hurt pros' golf games?
Luke Kerr-Dineen
Rory McIlroy ended his relationship with tennis star Caroline Wozniacki on Wednesday
with an announcement that the pair had split.
"This is obviously a difficult time for Caroline and myself,"
McIlroy said in a press conference.
"I'm not going to lie ... it's going to be very difficult. But at least when I get inside the ropes I can try and concentrate on the shot at hand. But yeah, that's obviously going to be difficult."
Of course we can't know what's in Rory's mind or heart, but we do know that he's not the first (and won't be the last) professional golfer to face personal struggles. How were those guys affected? And could that in any way relate to Rory?
We looked at five players currently in the top 11 of the world rankings -- players it's fair to say are about the same ability level as Rory -- who experienced personal struggles that aired in public.
We found that, on the whole, golfers' high-profile problems tend to result in a noticeable drop-off in their performance, usually lasting for about a year. It's also worth noting that of the five players analyzed, only two -- Adam Scott and Phil Mickelson -- have gone on to win majors.
Adam Scott
Scott has admitted that his 2008 breakup
with Marie Kojzar (
who he since married
), compounded by breaking his hand and getting sick, took a toll on his game. That was clear on the golf course. He went from one win, six top 10s and two missed cuts a year earlier to no wins, one top 10 and 10 missed cuts in his first full year after the breakup.
Tiger Woods
In his two first full seasons before
his infidelity scandal in late 2009, Woods had won 13 times in 33 PGA Tour events, which included 14 top 10s. In his 33 PGA Tour events after the scandal, he amassed just three wins and eight top 10s. There was probably going to be a slight regression anyway considering his previous form, but it's hard to believe a drop-off that steep would have occurred without the off-course distractions.
Henrik Stenson
Stenson admitted in February 2009
that he had lost "a big part" of his personal wealth -- believed to be somewhere between $7 million and $12 million -- in Allen Stanford's Ponzi scheme. On the course later that year, he didn't miss a beat, with one win, four top 10s and only one missed cut in 10 PGA Tour events. But things did go downhill after that. In his next 45 events over the next three years on the PGA Tour, Stenson boasted no wins, one top 10 and 26 missed cuts. The financial loss wasn't the sole cause of the slump, Stenson says, but it was one of a combination of factors.
Sergio Garcia
The Spaniard has very publicly admitted that
his split with Morgan-Leigh Norman a
fter the 2009 Honda Classic
affected his golf.
From the 2008 Honda until the end of the 2008 season, Garcia had one win, six top 10s and one missed cut in 16 PGA Tour events. In that same stretch in 2009, Garcia had no wins, three top 10s and three missed cuts in 17 events. It got even worse the following year: during the same time period in 2010, he had no wins or top 10s, and two missed cuts in 12 events.
Phil Mickelson
After it was announced in May 2009 that Phil Mickelson's wife, Amy, and his mother, Mary,
were both battling breast cancer
, it was only the number of events that Lefty played that was affected. Mickelson's 2008 and 2010 seasons -- the years before and after the news -- were almost identical. In 21 events in 2008 Phil had two wins and eight top 10s; in 20 events in 2010, Mickelson won once (the 2010 Masters), and finished with six other top 10s.

GEORGE TOWN: Penangites can expect to pay more for water within a year as a soft approach to reduce water consumption has failed, Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng (pic) said.
Lim said the state had accepted a request from the Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) to actively study increasing water tariffs.
"The raise is inevitable. We leave it to the National Water Services Commission (SPAN) to decide.
"We will let you know when the time is up," he told a press conference at his office in Komtar here Wednesday.
"Domestic water tariffs have not been raised since 1991 with Penang having the lowest domestic tariffs in the country," Lim said.
Lim said PBAPP has existing business models and the study would take less than a year to complete.
"The models need to be submitted to the state exco for approval before being submitted to SPAN.
"Our soft approach has failed. Education and imposing penalties for water wastage has failed," he added.
Water consumption in Penang was the highest in the country at 295 litres per capita per day last year.
For the first two months of this year, the figure went up to 311 litres per capita per day, an increase of 5.4%.

Mother and daughter killed in Dallas gun rampage
A mother and her two children were among eight people gunned down after a man went on a shooting spree in Dallas.
Toya Smith, 43, was killed along with her 17-year-old daughter Tasmia Allen by an ex-boyfriend.
Ms Smith's son Storm Malone, 14, was also critically wounded in two separate attacks said to be carried out by Erbie Bowser.
The first shooting came around 10.30pm local time at a house on Long Canyon Trail in southwest Dallas. Two people died and two more were wounded.
Suburbia: Long Canyon Trail in southwest Dallas where the first shooting happened (picture: Google Maps) The suspect then drove seven miles to another house in the city of DeSoto, where he tossed an explosive device into a home. After it detonated, the gunman is said to have gone into the home where he shot four people, including Ms Smith, her children and her daughter's 17-year-old friend.
Some of the four surviving victims wounded were said to be in a critical condition.
Dallas police said Bowser, a former Dallas Mavericks ManiAAc dancer, the squad who perform dances during a break in a basketball game, only stopped shooting when he ran out of ammunition. He was then arrested at the scene and was being held at DeSoto Jail today.
Local TV stations reported the shooter had tattoos identifying him as a former member of the military.
He was also said to have kept repeating his name, rank and serial number.
The authorities say he initially claimed to be a victim.
Neighbours described hearing an explosion at the DeSoto house before the shooter opened fire.
"We thought it was coming from upstairs, because the kids are always upstairs making noise," Tommy Johnson said. "I went up and asked, 'Did y'all hear anything?' and one of my daughters said it came from outside. So, I peeped out the front and that's when I saw a bunch of officers walking down the sidewalk about 10 houses up."
Warren Mitchell with the Dallas Police Department said the first shooting was called in at around 10.30pm local time in Dallas.
Cpl Melissa Franks with the DeSoto Police Department said officers were sent to the scene of the second shooting at around 10.45pm.

After news broke of Rousey's signing one week ago, UFC President Dana White today confirmed the development during an appearance on "The Jim Rome Show." Additionally, Rousey verified the news on Twitter, urging her followers to tell White whom she should first face in the Octagon.
Rousey, 25, made her pro debut in March 2011 and has since become one of mixed martial arts' biggest stars. A 2008 Olympic judo bronze medalist, "Rowdy" has seen her stock rise with each impressive in-cage performance.
After stringing together four-straight featherweight finishes -- all of which ended via straight armbar in under 60 seconds -- Rousey made the drop to 135 pounds this past March to challenge Miesha Tate for the Strikeforce bantamweight title. Though it took the Californian a little longer than usual, Rousey nonetheless finished Tate in 4:27 with her patented arm lock, badly hyperextending the former champion's elbow in the process.
Rousey then successfully defended her new title on Aug. 18 against Sarah Kaufman, quickly jabbing her way into the clinch before once again applying the straight armbar. Though Kaufman tried gamely to resist the submission hold, eventually Rousey managed to extend her appendage and force the tap at 54 seconds of the opening frame.
Strikeforce is rumored to be holding its final show on Jan. 12, though promotion officials have made no official announcement concerning the promotion's future beyond that date. The event, which airs on Showtime, will see three titles put up for grabs, as Gilbert Melendez, Luke Rockhold and Nate Marquardt defend their belts against Pat Healy, Lorenz Larkin and Tarec Saffiedine, respectively.

ST. LOUIS — A $471.4 million impairment charge related to the company's Post cereal business dragged down fourth-quarter and full-year results at Ralcorp Holdings, Inc. In the year ended Sept. 30, Ralcorp sustained a loss of $187.2 million, which compared with earnings of $208.8 million, equal to $3.79 per share on the common stock, in fiscal 2010. Adjusted EBITDA for the year rose, though, climbing 19% to $800.2 million from $671.7 million.
Net sales in fiscal 2011 totaled $4,741 million, up 17% from $4,048.5 million in the same period a year ago.
For the fourth quarter ended Sept. 30 Ralcorp suffered a loss of $370.1 million, which compared with earnings of $41.9 million in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA, meanwhile, was $195 million, up from $181 million. Net sales in the fourth quarter rose 8% to $1,223.2 million from $1,129.2 million. Profit contribution in the Branded Cereal Products segment totaled $206 million in fiscal 2011, down 7% from $220.6 million in fiscal 2010. Net sales in the segment totaled $953.8 million, down 3% from $987.5 million.
Ralcorp said volumes were down across most of its Post brand portfolio during the fourth quarter with the exception of Great Grains, which rose sharply driven by increased advertising support.
In the company's Other Cereal Products segment, profit contribution eased 4% to $86.3 million from $90.3 million, while sales rose 5% to $838.5 million from $799.7 million.
Fiscal 2011 profit contribution in the Frozen Bakery Products segment climbed 9% to $88 million from $80.8 million. Net sales also were higher, rising 10% to $768.6 million from $698.3 million.
