This week, the number of British troops killed in Afghanistan since 2001 surpassed 200.

As premier of Saskatchewan, Tommy Douglas pioneered a number of progressive policies there, including the expansion of public utilities, unionization and public auto insurance. But his biggest achievement was the creation of universal health insurance, called Medicare. It passed in Saskatchewan in 1962, guaranteeing hospital care for all residents. The rest of Canada soon followed, province by province. After his death, Douglas earned the title...Aug 18, 2009 | Story
In a cover story for BusinessWeek earlier this month, reporters Chad Terhune and Keith Epstein argue UnitedHealth and other insurers maneuvered to shape healthcare reform for their own benefit. The story is titled "The Health Insurers Have Already Won," and the authors argue that the insurers have "succeeded in redefining the terms of the reform debate to such a degree that no matter what specifics emerge in the voluminous bill...Aug 17, 2009 | Story
The Obama administration admitted last week it promised to oppose proposals to let the government negotiate drug prices and extract additional savings from drug companies.

No more bike racing for Christian Bale
Los Angeles, Jan 1 : Actor Christian Bale says he no longer engages in bike races as his wife Sibi Blazic is not comfortable with it.
The actor stopped racing bikes on the road after the birth of his daughter Emmaline eight years ago, reports contactmusic.com.
"Sibi has always had a problem with Christian's love of fast bikes. She stopped him from riding them on the streets shortly after the birth of Emmaline, eight years ago. Since then, Christian has limited his riding to the race track under very controlled conditions," National Enquirer magazine quoted a source as saying.
The 39-year-old hurt his arm in an accident in December last year.

Asked by miniaturetanks
I know a lot about the wool Industry and allow me to correct some misinformation you have been given. I once thought that wool as Ok, I thought the same as you, it's like getting a hair cut, but i've learnt through research and watching footage after footage of abuse on wool farms that it is like getting a hair cut IF you are breed to grow hair really fast (extremely fast) and then held down by your hair dresser and cut with a sharp razer or sheers as fast as possible because you are just a product to the hair dresser and they have a number to react every hour of the amount of people they need to shave. This razer cuts into your skin, ripping you open, you fight against to be free but can not move and your cries go unheard. you bleed, you scream and not a damn thing you can do about it. and then you are sent back, you or cage, not big enough to turn around. Where you get bored and start stressing you eat the cage bars out of frustration. ALL DAY EVERY DAY. Not a happy farm of grass grazing, that is the few and far in between, either way it is not YOUR HAIR? Who the hell as the right to YOUR hair? No one! Your body is your own and so is the body and wool of a sheep. They have been abuse and breed for GREED to make HUMANS money. They suffer just like you would. I hope you do NOT talk my world for it however, I beg you to please do the research yourself. Look up factory farming sheep and sheep bodies after being sheered. And please watch Earthlings, free at Earthlings.com
I hope this helps you.
Love, I work with sheep, and have done for years, and know lots of other people who do. If sheep get a little cut, which sometimes happens, then it's disinfected and covered straight away. It's so counter initiative to let the sheepies get infections or injuries, it'll just cost us vet bills or loss of livestock. If you don't shear your sheep they can get much worse infections or even overheat, so it really is a vital part of husbandry. I'm not saying all farms are responsible, but I am saying that the majority are. PETA and other propaganda pedlars will get a little bit of footage from one of the few bad farms and preach it to everyone as being absolute fact. Maybe you should actually visit a sheep farm and watch some shearing before you make up your mind. I have no problem with veganism, I can understand why someone might not want to wear or use animal products, but I do have a problem with you spinning out misinformation. Please don't tell me I'm misinformed, I have spent years working on farms that have sheep, and had my own little darling Herdwick of my own (her name was Muriel, she was treated like royalty)
Hahahahaha.. and the rapist was kind enough to leave their victim alive after using and abusing them. You might do that after you are done with them but in the industry it is a NUMBERS game. I've seen the footage over and over again. You on your small farm whatever. Animal use is animal abuse. Earthlings.com
The thing is, you don't work in the industry, you've literally just seen a few videos. I work in the industry, I know plenty of people who also do (and not just family farms and small holdings. Actual, proper industry farms) and I've seen that many other people in a similar position to me have written posts on your wall as well. Agriculture does not equal animal abuse. Domestic animals such as sheep have adapted to domestic life over thousands of years. Animal abuse in this instance would be to totally disregard husbandry through not shearing them. They would overhead, get infections and ultimately die.
Holy shit.
That's one dapper son of a bitch.

ROY -- Toni Perkins was built to give her kidney to her brother.
That's what the doctor at the University of Utah Hospital told her after her kidney was successfully transplanted into her brother's body earlier this month.
Chris Green, 58 and of Roy, was diagnosed with diabetes in 1997. At the time, Perkins, 55, of West Point, made the decision that if her brother ever needed a kidney transplant, she would step up to the plate and donate one of hers.
"After Chris started dialysis about a year and a half ago, I was more determined to be able to carry out the donation," Perkins said.
Since his diagnosis, Green said he has dealt with severe ulcers on his feet, causing all five of his left toes to be amputated. He contracted the dangerous MRSA infection, and went blind after emergency surgery to relieve swelling in his optic nerves. By July 2012 his kidneys were failing and doctors asked him if he knew of anyone who would be willing to donate a kidney to him.
"I was caught off guard and my reaction was (donating a kidney) was far too big a sacrifice to ask of anyone," Green said. "My first reaction was just to go on Hospice."
After continuing therapy to try to slow the kidney failure, his name was submitted for evaluation as a transplant recipient.
"During this time, unbeknownst to me, my two youngest daughters and both sisters began making plans to identify one of them as a donor," he said.
Perkins began going through the testing process, which she said included numerous medical tests as well as a psychological examination.
"As I began going through the screening to see if I would match, my coordinator called after a blood draw to tell me I was a match and I could proceed with the next assessment. She said, 'In fact, you are an identical match,'" Perkins said. "Even though I had many more tests to go through, that gave me hope."
Perkins then had a CT scan on her kidneys and was told she had one regular kidney and one irregular kidney, which meant that no matter which type Green needed, Perkins could provide it.
Perkins continued to pass every test, then chose Oct. 1 as the date she would give one of her kidneys to her brother.
"On the Saturday before surgery, our family had a fast, praying that everything would work out and the surgeries would be successful," Perkins said.
The surgery was successful and both siblings are doing well.
"After the surgery, the surgeon said to me, 'You were built to give this kidney to Chris,'" Perkins said. "Our surgeries each took about an hour less than what they though they would take. Chris has not used any pain medication since surgery and I have used very little. I believe those all to be miracles in making the transplant happen successfully."
Green will have to take three anti-rejection medications for the rest of his life and will be on a strict low sodium diabetic diet. He said his new kidney is working great.
"There is no way I can ever express my gratitude to her for putting her life on the line to save mine," Green said of his sister. "We have a very close family and this is the ultimate expression of love."

He's not pitching as slowly as Buchholtz...but it's close.
If I was a batter, I'd wait about 20 seconds and if he hadn't thrown it I'd kick the unwritten rules in the teeth and tell him to throw the ####### ball.

A SP on an off day is unlikely to be needed while still being prominent.
It's possible it actually landed on the fair side of the line, is that what they're reviewing? Is foulness judged when it passes the pole or where it lands?

Mark Twain and Human Nature
Publication Year: 2011
Mark Twain once claimed that he could read human character as well as he could read the Mississippi River, and he studied his fellow humans with the same devoted attention. In both his fiction and his nonfiction, he was disposed to dramatize how the human creature acts in a given environment—and to understand why.
Now one of America's preeminent Twain scholars takes a closer look at this icon's abiding interest in his fellow creatures. In seeking to account for how Twain might have reasonably believed the things he said he believed, Tom Quirk has interwoven the author's inner life with his writings to produce a meditation on how Twain's understanding of human nature evolved and deepened, and to show that this was one of the central preoccupations of his life.
Quirk charts the ways in which this humorist and occasional philosopher contemplated the subject of human nature from early adulthood until the end of his life, revealing how his outlook changed over the years. His travels, his readings in history and science, his political and social commitments, and his own pragmatic testing of human nature in his writing contributed to Twain's mature view of his kind. Quirk establishes the social and scientific contexts that clarify Twain's thinking, and he considers not only Twain's stated intentions about his purposes in his published works but also his ad hoc remarks about the human condition.
Viewing both major and minor works through the lens of Twain's shifting attitude, Quirk provides refreshing new perspectives on the master's oeuvre. He offers a detailed look at the travel writings, including The Innocents Abroad and Following the Equator, and the novels, including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and Pudd'nhead Wilson, as well as an important review of works from Twain's last decade, including fantasies centering on man's insignificance in Creation, works preoccupied with isolation—notably No. 44, The Mysterious Stranger and "Eve's Diary"—and polemical writings such as What Is Man?
Comprising the well-seasoned reflections of a mature scholar, this persuasive and eminently readable study comes to terms with the life-shaping ideas and attitudes of one of America's best-loved writers. Mark Twain and Human Nature offers readers a better understanding of Twain's intellect as it enriches our understanding of his craft and his ineluctable humor.

Mother tongue is a person's native language. It is the language that he speaks first as a child. He has the knowledge of things around him through his language. Normally the early education of a child is carried on in his mother tongue. The question of medium of instruction arises at higher levels of education. Then the student has to learn different subjects. He has to understand them thoroughly. For this purpose his mother tongue may not be well equipped. If the medium of instruction is the student's mother tongue he can easily grasp the subject. He can express himself well without any difficulty. Any other language may not provide him such an opportunity.
But many regional languages do not have the strength of being the medium of construction. Books on several subjects are available only in English. Regional languages do not have the required vocabulary and terminology. They have to borrow words either from English or any other language. A student has to depend on English for acquiring higher knowledge in any subject.
There are a number of regional languages. Each state has its own medium of instruction. One who is educated in a state finds it difficult to continue his education in another. So, a common medium of instruction throughout the country will be a good thing.
After independence efforts are made to enrich the regional languages. Textbooks are written in them. Scientific terminology is being coined in native languages. Now even at post graduation level, regional languages are used as medium of instruction.

Warner Bros. postpones 'Gangster Squad' movie after shooting
LOS ANGELES, July 26
LOS ANGELES, July 26 (Reuters) - The Warner Bros. movie studio postponed until early next year the release of "Gangster Squad," a crime drama featuring a scene with a movie theater shooting that prompted concern following last Friday's fatal attack in Colorado.
The film, a mob thriller set in Los Angeles during the 1940s and '50s, starring Sean Penn and Ryan Gosling, will reach theaters on Jan. 11, 2013, rather than its originally scheduled Sept. 7 debut, a Warner Bros. spokeswoman said on Thursday.
The studio is considering whether to edit or delete the scene in which mobsters burst through a movie screen while opening fire on a theater audience, a person familiar with the studio's plans told Reuters.
The Warner Bros. spokeswoman declined to comment on whether the movie will be changed.
The studio acted after a lone gunman shot and killed 12 people on July 20 during a midnight showing of Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises," another Warner Bros. release.
Just after the incident, Warner Bros. pulled "Gangster Squad" promotional trailers that featured the shooting scene and were running ahead of "Dark Knight Rises" in some theaters.
Warner Bros. is owned by Time Warner Inc.

American Idol 2
Vanessa Olivarez becomes third 'American Idol' finalist to reach Canadian Top 10
By Wade Paulsen, 10/09/2003
After Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken, which
American Idol
finalist would be most likely to have a Top 10 single? Would you believe ... the pink-haired Vanessa Olivarez, who was the first member of the FInal 12 to be eliminated ... and who was the only
Idol 2
excluded from the live tour
After BMG passed on its option to sign Vanessa, she, producer-co-writer Dave Pickell and co-writer James Collins set up their own independent record label, Toronto-based Outta the Box Records, to release a song entitled "The One," on which Vanessa also assisted on lyrics, as her first single. The B-side is a Pickell/Collins composition entitled "I'm In Love With My Best Friend's Ex." Along with releasing the single, the three partners are continuing to shop Vanessa and their recordings to established labels.
Note that, although Vanessa is from Atlanta, Georgia, the A-side of the single qualifies as 2 parts Canadian content (Music and Production), and the B-side is 3 parts "CanCon" (Music, Lyrics, Production). Since Canada requires popular-music stations to play
35% Canadian selections
, and at least 2 parts CanCon
is needed
for a performance to be a Canadian selection, both of Vanessa's songs qualify.

chart for the week ended October 5. Continued Canadian success for "The One" may lead to a U.S. release.
Will Vanessa's single hold up as well as some of the other singles from
American Idol
contestants have in Canada? On the October 5 chart, the American Juniors' "One Step Closer" held on to #7 in its 7th week, Clay Aiken's "This Is the Night" / "Bridge Over Troubled Water" was 14th in its 17th week, Kelly Clarkson's "Low" debuted at #18, and Ruben Studdard's "Flying Without Wings" was still #20 in its 17th week. Oh, and
Canadian Idol
winner Ryan Malcolm's new single, "Something More," sold
over 3,200 copies
just at his hometown Wal-Mart in Kingston, Ontario on its release day, meaning that it should debut at #1 next week.
Nevertheless, even if Vanessa's success proves to be limited, we give her credit for making a splash on the charts before any other
American Idol
contestants except for the finalists. As we have
noted before
, it is very difficult to succeed in the music business without major-label support. Achieving a Top 10 single as a complete independent is a real achievement -- but it's only the first step in a long road.

US 5238384 A Abstract The components forming the layers of a composite pipe are successively introduced into a rotary drum (1). Initially, a plastic reinforcing layer (8), including a fibre reinforcement, is introduced into the drum, the ends of the drum (1) being bounded by rings. A concrete core layer (16) is then introduced and the length of the core layer (16) is shortened relative to that of the drum (1) by shaping rings fixed to the drum ends. The shaping rings are then replaced by other shaping rings (20, 21) so that, on either side of the core layer (16), two annular spaces (22, 23) are formed which are filled by a socket material (24, 25) of the same composite as the reinforcing layer (8). Thus, at one pipe end a socket end (28) is formed and at the other pipe end a spigot end (30) is formed, each such end being located within the composite pipe wall thickness. After introducing a second reinforcing layer (26), the production of the composite pipe is completed. By producing the socket connecting elements (28, 30) simultaneously with the construction of the composite pipe, a reliable and rational production of the composite pipe with its socket connecting elements (28, 30) is achieved. By shaping a shoulder (33) on to the spigot end (30), when sliding together two composite pipes, the socket end (28) is centered. Simultaneously, an annular space (34) is formed, in which can be inserted an elastic seal (35) for drip-tight sealing.
Claims(8) 1. An apparatus for producing a layered composite pipe having a first end having a first socket connecting element, a second end having a second socket connecting element, a reinforcing layer on outer and inner wall sides and a core layer therebetween, said apparatus comprising:
at least one horizontally mounted rotatable drum for forming said layered composite pipe; shaping rings removably attachable to said at least one horizontally mounted rotatable drum for shaping the socket connecting elements at the layered composite pipe ends; a magazine located over said at least one horizontally mounted drum for storing the shaping rings; and at least one handling device adjacent each end of said at least one horizontally mounted rotatable drum for moving the shaping rings successively from said magazine to said ends of said at least one horizontally mounted rotatable drum during construction of the layered composite pipe, for fixing the rings to the at least one horizontally mounted rotatable drum and removing said shaping rings from said at least one horizontally mounted rotatable drum, and returning and replacing the shaping rings in the magazine. 2. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said at least one horizontally mounted rotatable drum has a longitudinal axis and said handling device comprises a chassis with a lifting unit movable at right angles to the longitudinal axis of said drum on a cross-beam of a portal frame and having on said lifting unit a vertically movable lifting rod carrying a gripper unit for gripping the shaping rings.
3. An apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the gripper unit is displaceable parallel to the drum axis.
4. An apparatus according to claim 3, wherein said gripper unit comprises a two-armed swivel column, each said arm having a respective gripper.
5. An apparatus according to claim 4, wherein said gripper has radially arranged gripping arms on which are mounted pivotable clamping jaws operable by lifting elements for grasping the shaping rings.
6. An apparatus according to claim 5, wherein said shaping rings are connected to a bearing ring on which clamping slits are provided for the engagement of said clamping jaws.
7. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein swivel claws are fixed to the outer circumference of the two ends of the drum, said swivel claws being engageable behind holding hooks fixed to bearing rings attached to said shaping rings.
8. An apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the swivel claws are disengaged from the holding hooks by lifting cylinder units which are arranged on a fixed frame around the at least one horizontally mounted rotatable drum.
Description This application is a division of application Ser. No. 07/455,616, filed Dec. 22, 1989, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,082,614. The invention relates to a method for producing a composite pipe comprising several layers of organic and inorganic material in a rotating drum and, more specifically, to producing a composite pipe having socket connecting elements at the pipe ends provided on both the outer and inner wall sides thereof, having a plastic reinforcing layer including a fibre reinforcement and an interposed core layer of inorganic material with a binder, particularly concrete. Numerous different constructions of pipes made from non-metallic materials are known. Compared with pipes made from metallic materials such pipes have many advantages, e.g. lower weight and higher corrosion resistance. Due to the latter property, such pipes are used for the carrying of corrosive material. Such non-metallic pipes can also be laid in the ground, where metal pipes are subject to strong corrosion. Pipes made entirely from plastic materials are known and the corresponding characteristics of these plastics can be advantageously utilized. They have a low weight and, in most cases, an adequate strength, but are relatively expensive. Thus, efforts have been made to reduce the costs of such pipes without impairing the characteristics of the plastics used. Such a pipe is disclosed in EP 0 151 930. The wall of this pipe is formed from several layers built up from plastic and inorganic materials. The pipe of that patent essentially comprises a cement mortar core layer, which is surrounded by a reinforcing layer both on the inner and outer wall sides. The two reinforcing layers comprise a plastic material, e.g. a polyester, which is reinforced by means of fibres, e.g. glass fibres. Such pipes have advantages compared with purely plastic pipes in that they are less expensive than purely plastic pipes, have the same corrosion characteristics as purely plastics pipes, and have a lower weight than metal pipes. In order that such pipes can be assembled with standard connecting or joining elements, information is given in the above-referenced industrial property right as to how the pipes can be provided with socket or sleeve connecting elements. A socket end is shaped on to one pipe end having an external diameter larger than the pipe diameter by at least twice the wall thickness. Thus, the space required for laying the same is very large and, consequently, is not cost effective. Moreover, the rotating drum in which such pipes are produced, must be shaped in accordance with the socket at the drum end which also leads to additional costs. Admittedly, the above-referenced industrial property right describes an additional pipe, in which no use is made of a socket with a larger diameter than the pipe diameter, but rather requiring a metal ring which is inserted at one drum end and connected to the pipe body. However, in this latter embodiment it is very difficult to achieve a good connection between said metal ring and the pipe body. Further, this metal ring is also exposed to corrosion, thereby negating the advantage of the nonmetallic pipe body. Thus, this type of pipe connection has not received practical acceptance. The problem solved by the present invention is to further develop a method of the aforementioned type such that a composite or compound pipe with socket connecting elements can be produced in which said elements are also made from nonmetallic materials and do not project over the pipe body diameter, while maintaining a strength between the socket connecting elements and the pipe body that is comparable to that of the pipe body. According to the present invention this problem is solved by simultaneously constructing a composite layered pipe body wherein one pipe end is provided with a socket end having a projection and the other pipe end is provided with a spigot end having an offset, and further wherein the shaping of the pipe ends of the socket material corresponds to that of the reinforcing layer of the pipe body. The present invention also covers an apparatus enabling the production of composite pipes with socket connecting elements in an optimum manner. According to the present invention this problem is solved in that the shaping rings required for shaping the socket connecting elements at the pipe ends are stored over at least one horizontally mounted drum in a magazine. These shaping rings are successively brought to the drum end corresponding to the construction of the composite pipe by means of handling devices, at least one of which is set up at each drum end. The shaping rings are fixed to the drum, and subsequently replaced and returned to the magazine by means of the handling devices. The invention is described in greater detail hereinafter relative to a non-limitative embodiment and the attached drawings, in which: FIGS. 1 to 4 are diagrammatic representations of the stepwise construction of a composite pipe with socket connecting elements in a partially shown rotating drum, wherein: FIG. 1 shows the production of the connecting layer; FIG. 2 shows the introduction of the core layer; FIG. 3 shows the production of the socket connecting elements; FIG. 4 shows the extension of the finished composite pipe from the stationary drum; FIG. 5 is a partial section view through a finished socket connection with inserted seal produced for two composite pipes; FIG. 6 is a front view of an apparatus for producing composite pipes; FIG. 7 is a side view of the apparatus of FIG. 6 from the inside; FIG. 8 is a section view of two shaping rings with holding elements; FIG. 9 is a view of a shaping ring gripper; FIG. 10 is a partially sectional side view of a gripping arm; and FIG. 11 is a side view of the holding elements on the drum circumference for holding the shaping rings on the drum. The invention is based on the consideration that a composite pipe essentially comprising a core layer of inorganic material and a plastic reinforcing layer on both the inner and outer wall sides can only prove satisfactory in practice if the connecting elements, preferably the sleeve or socket connecting elements, have a reliable connection with the pipe body. FIGS. 1 to 4 show the construction of such a composite pipe with socket connecting elements. In FIGS. 1 to 4, reference numeral 1 is a rotating drum, which is arranged with a horizontal rotation axis and is rotatably mounted in a machine frame. The construction of the drum 1 is assumed to be known in the art in view of the age of such means. The length of drum 1 corresponds to the length of the pipe to be produced, while the spigot end, forming one pipe end and provided with an offset, projects over one drum end, cf. FIG. 3. According to FIG. 1, both drum ends 3, 4 are fitted with end rings 5, 6 which are, in turn, fixed to drum 1. Subsequently, the drum is accelerated to a desired speed and preferably a protective layer is applied with the aid of a charging device and, following the drying thereof, a reinforcing layer 8 is applied as the outer wall side. This reinforcing layer 8 essentially comprises a plastic material, e.g. a polyester, with which is admixed glass fibres. When the reinforcing layer 8 has a dried surface, the end rings 5, 6 are removed and replaced by a first shaping ring 10 and a second shaping ring 11. The shaping rings 10, 11 have annular portions 12, 13 projecting into the interior of the drum defining an annular space 15 in which is introduced a binder and inorganic core layer 16. Core layer 16 is made from a cement mortar or a concrete with or without fillers. Prior to the introduction of the core layer 16, dimensional measurements are taken to ensure a good connection between the reinforcing layer 8 and the core layer 16, e.g. by a plastic material. Following the introduction and surface drying of core layer 16, the drum is stopped from rotating and the two shaping rings 10, 11 are removed from the drum and replaced by a third and a fourth shaping ring 20, 21, cf. FIG. 3. An open annular space 22, 23 is formed between the core layer 16 and the two shaping rings 20, 21 from whose cross-section it can be seen that such space 22, 23 relates to the actual socket connecting elements formed in the two annular spaces 22, 23. For this purpose, a socket material 24, 25 is introduced into the annular spaces 22, 23. The composition of the socket material corresponds to that of the reinforcing layer 8 on the outer wall side, so that once again an excellent connection is obtained. The socket material 24, 25 is connected to the reinforcing layer 8 as well as the frontal surface 14 of the core layer 16 such that a connecting layer results from a suitable plastic material when the pipes are fitted together. An inner wall side reinforcing layer 26 is now applied over the socket material 24, 25 as well as the core layer 16 and dried. Subsequently, a protective layer can be applied to the reinforcing layer 26. This ends the production of the pipe and the drum 1 can now be stopped. The third and fourth shaping rings 20, 21 are removed and an extracting device 27, e.g. a spreader arm, is inserted in the drum to draw out the finished pipe. As can be seen from FIG. 4, at one pipe end the pipe has a projection 28 forming a socket end, while the other pipe end has a spigot end 30 provided with an offset 29. FIG. 5 shows a socket connection or a junction of two pipes produced in accordance with the above-described method. One pipe 31 has a socket end 28, while the connecting pipe 32 has a spigot end 30. The spigot end 30 has a shoulder 33 for centering the socket end 28. An elastic sealing ring 35 is inserted in the annular space 34 formed between the socket end 28 and the spigot end 30 to ensure a drip-proof seal between the socket connection 28, 30. It is also noted that the same shaping rings can be used for different build-up phases of the pipe. Thus, the end ring 6 has the same construction as the fourth shaping ring 21. However, only the end face is required in the first phase according to FIG. 1 in order to form a termination for the reinforcing layer 8. Moreover, the third shaping ring 20 or first shaping ring 10 could be used as end ring 5, although the shaping ring would have to be turned over, making handling more difficult. It is therefore more appropriate to produce a separate end ring 5. FIGS. 6 to 11 show an apparatus making it possible to manufacture composite pipes according to the production steps described relative to FIGS. 1 to 4. As can be seen from FIGS. 6 and 7, the rotating drums 1 are only diagrammatically shown. The number of drums 1 used per apparatus is dependent only on the production capacity. Thus, the arrangement of the apparatus is essentially the same and is independent of the number of drums 1. A portal frame 37, facing each of the drum ends, is provided, on which at least one handling device 38 is disposed. As a function of the size of the apparatus, the portal frame 37 has two or more columns 39 over which is placed a cross-beam 40 for moving the handling device 38. To accommodate this, the handling device 38 also has a chassis with a portable motor, which can be supplied with power, e.g. electric or pneumatic power by means of a line 41. The shaping rings (generally designated by F) are stored in a magazine (not shown) above the drums 1 for the production of the composite pipes. The shaping rings F can be fetched from the magazine via handling device 38 and brought to the drums 1. Conversely, when no longer required, shaping rings F can be returned from the handling device 38 to the magazine. For this purpose, the handling device 38 has a lifting unit 42 on whose lower end 43 (FIG. 7) is fixed a swivel column 44. So as not to overburden the drawing, the swivel column 44 is only diagrammatically shown, not including a hydraulic or pneumatic swivel drive. A gripper 47 is fixed to each of the two arms 46 of the swivel column 44 and has corresponding gripping means for holding the shaping rings F (see FIG. 9). Gripper 47 is equipped with three gripping arms 48, on which are arranged several fixing means for grasping shaping rings of different sizes, cf. FIGS. 8 and 10. FIG. 8 shows two shaping rings F1 and F2 together. In practice, only one shaping ring F is fixed to the end of the drum 1. However, the same gripping arm 48, diagrammatically shown in FIG. 8, is used for both shaping rings F and has two pivotable clamping fingers 49 for engagement in clamping slots 50 provided on a bearing ring 51, 52, to which the shaping rings F are fixed. Holding hooks 55 are fixed to the bearing rings 51, or an auxiliary bearing ring 52 (in the case of smaller diameter shaping rings) for docking of the shaping rings F with the drum, cf. FIG. 8. The shaping rings F are stored in the magazine by means of bearing rollers (not shown), on which the shaping rings are mounted. It can be seen from FIG. 10 that the two clamping jaws 49, shown in FIG. 8, are actuated by means of gripping arm 48 provided with lifting elements 56, 57. The actuation of lifting elements 56, 57 leads to holding hooks 49 being either opened or closed whereby one end of the lifting elements 56, 57 is supported on the gripping arm 48, while the other end acts on the clamping jaw 49 actuating the latter. It is also noted that a feed device, e.g. a sliding cylinder, is fitted at the lower end 43 of lifting unit 42 whereby the swivel column 44 can be slid into the gripping position for the shaping rings F. Thus, the handling device 38 can perform movements in the three axes in space as well as the additional swivelling movement of swivel column 44. Since the swivel column 44 carries two grippers 47, it is possible to fetch a shaping ring F from the magazine and move it to the particular drum, remove the used shaping drum, swivel the swivel column, and fix the new ring all in one step. The holding hooks 55 in bearing ring 51 are used for fixing the shaping rings F to drum 1. The inner circumference of the bearing rings 51 is provided with a seal 58 and an impact body 59, which engages on the frontal, bevelled end of the drum 1. Swivel claws 60, which engage behind the holding hooks 55 and secure the bearing ring 51 on the outside of drum 1 are provided for fixing the shaping rings F to drum 1. The swivel hooks 60 are pivotably mounted and spring loaded on the outside of drum 1, e.g. by a torsion spring, so that they can be forced away from the outside of the drum. In order to engage the swivel claws 60 in the holding hooks 55 of shaping rings F, swivel claw 60 is forced down by a lifting cylinder unit 61. Swivel column 44 is then moved forwards until the impact body 59 of shaping rings F engages on the front of drum 1. Finally, the lifting cylinder unit 61 is retracted, allowing the swivel claw 60 to hook into the holding hook 55 under spring tension. The described apparatus can be operated automatically. The necessary control system has a processor, which can be programmed, making it possible to simultaneously manufacture pipes of different diameters. Since a shaping ring change involves the changing of two shaping rings the two handling devices 38 at the ends of the drum 1 operate substantially synchronous with one another. The drum loading devices are located at one drum end and a corresponding number of loading units are provided with which the individual components can be introduced over the length of drum 1, as a function of the number of components used for the manufacture of a pipe. As a result of the automatic loading of drum 1 and the control of the individual movements, composite pipes can be produced which only have relatively limited tolerances. However, it is important that the automatic production of the composite pipes is ensured and that the pipes have a constant quality. The disclosed invention is not to be limited by what has been particularly shown and described except as indicated by the present claims. Patent Citations

Raytheon Company (RTN - Analyst Report) has been awarded a $337.8 million firm-fixed-price contract for the procurement of 361 Tomahawk Block IV All-Up-Round missiles for the U.S. Navy. The Tomahawk Block IV missile is capable of launch from surface ships equipped with the Vertical Launch System (VLS) and submarines equipped with the Capsule Launch System (CLS).
Out of 361 missiles for the procurement, 238 would be VLS missiles and the rest CLS missiles. The Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, Maryland, is the contracting activity.
Work on the contract will be performed mainly in Tucson, Arizona; Camden, Arkansas; Ogden, Utah; Anniston, Alabama; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Fort Wayne, Indiana; Glenrothes, Scotland; Dallas, Texas; Spanish Fork, Utah; and various locations inside and outside the continental United States. Work on the contract is expected to be completed in August 2014.
Raytheon is one of the best-positioned companies among the large-cap defense players due to its non-platform-centric focus, as well as its strong order bookings and order backlog of more than $34 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2012.
Revenue and earnings growth continue to be driven by a strong presence in the areas of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR); air & missile defense systems; border security; air traffic management; training and homeland security; and cyber security. Also its non-platform centric focus insulates it from cancellation or deferral of any specific platform programs.
Looking forward, the company enjoys strong order bookings and order backlog, an improving balance sheet, and growing cash flow, besides operational improvements. Future growth will be driven by its focus on ISR unmanned systems, training, cyber security, Standard Missile-6, Patriot, Zumwalt and THAAD. The company presently retains a short-term Zacks #2 Rank (Buy).
This is, however, offset by apprehensions over future growth of the U.S. defense budget, the fate of high-cost programs, risks related to key project executions and order cancellations. Thus, over the longer run, we maintain our long-term Neutral recommendation on the stock.

The 'Oil Pulling' Health Craze Works, Just Not in the Way You Think
What if I told you there was ancient folk remedy that could improve your oral health, provide incredible detox benefits and also fix a bajillion other things wrong with you right this very minute, except you have to swish oil in your mouth every day for like 20 minutes? Eh? Yay? Maybe? Intrigued? Me too. Let's talk about "oil pulling," the thing everyone and their uncle is blogging about.
How to Love Your Armpits and Other Unsung Parts of Your Gross Body
Confession: Don't be jealous, but I am totally fine with my armpits. Call me an arrogant rube, call me body-shame ignorant, but prior to the Dove campaign to beautify the pits, I didn't even know I was supposed to hate them. Now I refuse to hate them so that I might one day grow to love them — that's what passes for…
This 'Groin Gazing' Fashion Spread Starring Boners Is Amazing
Sometimes things that are revolutionary don't seem like that big of a deal. They seem like nothing special or just tongue-in-cheek enough to be more humorous than important social commentary, or just another cool thing on the internet. But who cares — even if something is all those things at once, it can still be…
The Truth About How Much a Happy Couple Should Have Sex
Which comes first, the happiness or the sex? One half of a couple told me a curious thing recently: In couples counseling, they'd been advised to have sex twice a week to foster intimacy while working on the relationship. I wondered not just about the merits of setting a minimal number, but also: Why twice? Twice is better than once and once is better than none, but how did we arrive at this idea that twice a week is a good amount of sex? Here is what I found out.
Practical College Courses That Don't Exist But Really Should
Why do we go to college? Is it to learn a skill? Is to learn how to think? Is it to meet a future mate? Is it to become a well-rounded person? Get shit-faced? Or is it purely a means to an end — a place to make valuable networking connections and net higher lifetime earnings? On some level it's all that stuff, and yet most of us end up in the real world without a clue how to navigate the fresh labyrinth of expectations involved in being an adult. Looking back, it's easy to see what could've helped, if we'd only had these classes.
Eight Reasons to Spank Your Kid
There's no place like home — if you're a kid in Kansas. You may have read about a new bill introduced by Rep. Gail Finney, D-Wichita, that "expands" on caregivers' rights regarding spanking, allowing parents to hit their children a defined number of times (bruises and marks and welts, oh my!) and letting any teachers who've been given permission take a swing, too. But what you're not hearing enough about are all those good reasons it should be totally fine to spank a kid. Let's clear those up for once and for all.
Everything I Know About Life I Learned From Groundhog Day
Harold Ramis, who died Monday at age 69, was a comedy supergenius. He made movies for everyone, but I was drawn to them for their absurdity and wit via a very specific breed of person they highlighted: Smart people with bad attitudes, the people you might describe as too clever for their own good, AKA wiseasses. Though …
Nothing Can Help You Decide Whether to Have Kids
Are people without kids happier than their parents? Does having children make people happier? Does having children make you unhappy? Still no proof that children make us happy! These are just a handful of headlines of late probing the effect of kids on parents in the great Happiness-a-thon of life. But here's the…
Eight Reasons Why the Mangagement Ring Should Totally Be a Thing
I've never understood why men don't wear an engagement ring. Actually, scratch that: I understand why they didn't wear them in the past, when marriage was but the economic chess move of a lady, any lady from her Father to Some Other Dude. But Things Have Changed ™ so it's high time the lady-only engagement ring goes the way of the hetero-dodo and men announced their cordoned-off status for all to see immediately upon engagement.
Public Official Responds to Black Man's Complaint With Lynching Story
Algood, Tenn., resident Shun Mullins filed a complaint last summer about the mishandling of his mother Dorothy's death by the local fire department, and for reasons that are inexplicable to decent people, the state investigator, a 40-year veteran named William Sewell, saw fit to tell Mullins the tale of a gruesome,…
The Silly, Scammy World of Diamond Candles
Did you know you can buy a soy candle with a surprise "diamond" ring inside it? Because you can. And that the women who buy the candles burn them down excitedly and then patiently extract the treasure-filled gold foil pouches like they're removing the still-beating heart of a cobra, then post "reveal" videos on YouTube? Because they do.
What if Equality Is the Biggest Bonerkiller of All?
What if you found out that too much respect was hurting your orgasms? Being regarded as an equal in a marriage is great and everything, but would you give it all up if only it meant your partner still wanted to bang you? Or that you still wanted to bang him/her? Because marriages may be more equal than ever, but the sex is about as frequent as a gum scraping. But oh well, at least he vacuumed (or did he?).
Eight Haggy Things You're Doing to Look Like an Old Hag
How can we as a society tolerate you if you have the temerity to conduct your life in such a way that the appearance of your corporeal being actually corresponds with the number of years you've existed on earth? It's as if no one told you that the eight things you're doing nearly every day to feel better are inadvertently pressing "fast-forward" on your life. And by life I mean face. And hands. And body. And face. So please, put down the flatbread and back away from the heavy weights, because no one can achieve their best self if that self includes actually looking as if you've lived.
You Don't Have to Be French to Be Sexy
Pop quiz: If a woman looks old + sexy and no one is around to validate her, does she still emit a breathy whimper? No really, in order to be sexy, who has to "agree" that you're sexy? Any passing stranger? A panel of Russian judges? The answer is one person, and one person only: You. The rest is sexy magic. And you don't …
Ladies Aren't the Ones Letting Themselves Go After Marriage
Ah, marriage: the ceremonial letting out of ye old gut once you've locked it down something permanent. According to the popular lore, studies and jokes, it is us gals who do the biggest pile-on post-nuptials, before kids, after kids, just thinking about having kids, and sometimes literally as we stride out the aisle, suddenly revealing a stash of donuts in our bouquet. But a new study says it's men who gain more after the big day.
How Often Do You Really Need to Shower?
Showering is about three things: Hygiene, cultural acceptance, and personal preference. But this doesn't make any clearer how often it's necessary. I'm not a daily shower type. I like the relaxation of showering, but I hate the squeaky clean feeling of super dry/tight skin, heavily moisturized skin from moisturizing soap, and the super feathery clean shampoo hair sensation. But my husband takes a hot soapy shower every single day and thinks I'm weird. Am I? I decided to find out.
The Unwittingly Attractive Things Men Do
Once my older sister, 16 to my 14, was driving us to the store. She was always a fast driver, and we followed too closely in our wrecked-once Ford EXP behind a red Mercedes convertible down a winding hill, the driver a tanned, affluent-looking middle-aged man. He stopped short as we neared a stop sign, and our bumper tapped his. We gasped, but he barely paused. Rather, he grinned at us in the rearview, then simply waved a tanned, gold-banded left hand nonchalantly as if to say, toodaloo! We busted out in nervous laughter, and then later, we swooned.
Uh, What the Hell Is a Third-Level Orgasm?
Obviously, I'm aware of orgasms. I know there are different kinds. There are the orgasms other people give you, and the orgasms you give yourself. There are the varying delivery methods of orgasms, involving actual people parts or vibrating substitutes. There are the ones that sneak up on you, and the ones you have to really work for. There are multiple orgasms, zero orgasms and also fake ones. There are big orgasms that shake the room, and tiny ones that bum you out. But I stand (ok, sit, always sit) here before you as a grown woman with a confession: I never realized there were official orgasm levels! DID YOU!?

"Governor Saxa, of the great city of Carce, a fantasy analog of ancient Rome, is rusticating at his villa. When Saxa's son Varus accompanies Corylus on a visit to the household of his father, Crispus, a retired military commander, Saxa graciously joins the party with his young wife Hedia, daughter Alphena, and a large entourage of his servants, making it a major social triumph for Crispus. But on the way to the event, something goes amiss. Varus, who has been the conduit for supernatural visions before, experiences another: giant crystalline worms devouring the entire world. Soon the major characters are each involved in supernatural events caused by a struggle between two powerful magicians, both mentored by the deceased poet and mage Vergil, one of whom wants to destroy the world and the other who wishes to stop him. But which is which? There is a complex web of human and supernatural deceit to be unraveled. This new novel in David Drake's ongoing chronicles of Carce, The Books of the Elements, is a gripping and intricate work of fantasy"--

After critic Stanley Dance talked Hines into performing a couple of concerts at the Little Theatre in New York in 1964, the veteran jazz great enjoyed a resurgence in popularity. He was elected a member of Downbeat magazine's jazz hall of fame in 1965,
and the following year was part of a Unites States-sponsored tour in the Soviet Union.
Hines led his own small band into the 1980s and continued to perform regularly throughout the country. He delivered his final concert just weeks before his death from a heart attack in Oakland, California, on April 22, 1983.

No Hope in the New Media World
Over on The Big Money, Lesley M. M. Blume — who penned an article about Conde Nast's Web struggles — is back with a story detailing the trials and tribulations of "Media's Lost Generation." The takeaway: "Today's journalists… have been left to wonder whether the very idea of ambition makes sense anymore."
Blume speaks with experts ranging from Michael Caruso ("Today the goals are different. It's mostly about self-expression.") to FishbowlNY's Glynnis MacNicol ("Right now, the definition of success in the media is not to be unemployed.") who offer their thoughts on the current state of the rapidly changing industry.
The author quotes one anonymous analyst at a private equity firm who points out that what we, the media, see as successful sometimes isn't:
"Take the Huffington Post, for example. They don't pay their writers, and who knows what the value of the company is. That company might not exist five years from now. It's the big success story, and it's not successful."
Well, we never thought about it like that.
