Economy Grows at 2.5 GDP in Third Quarter
Guest Blogger: Mike Sax
This time the consensus was right. While we had worried earlier that such optimism could be dashed, I had concluded that the trend in data lately has unquestionably been up.
For my earlier piece-that I wrote before dawn-please go here.
As it turns out GDP growth increased by exactly the 2.5 percent predicted. At the moment it seems that while we haven't felt confident-recent consumer confidence is at its lowest level since the 2007-2009 recession-things have been getting better. Consumer spending, which accounts for 70 percent of economic activity, grew by 2.4 percent as opposed to only .7 percent in the second quarter.
Similarly, business investment picked up:
'Similarly, while some business surveys have pointed to a contraction in factory output, there is little sign corporate America is cutting back spending. Indeed, recent data has suggested business spending is picking up. Business spending rose at a 16.3 percent pace as companies splurged on equipment and software, and invested in nonresidential structures. "
Like consumers it seems that business spending exceeds confidence. Unemployment claims were down 2,000 to 402,000 and have clearly shown a downward bias in recent months though sustained job growth is only indicated when they are able to consistently dip beneath 375,000 a week.
"Apart from consumer and business spending, growth in the third quarter was also supported by a smaller U.S. trade deficit, and the careful management of business inventories bodes well for fourth-quarter production."
"The GDP report also showed a moderation in inflation pressures, with the personal consumption price index (PCE) rising at a 2.4 percent rate in the third quarter, slowing from the April-June quarter's 3.3 percent pace. Core PCE, which excludes food and energy, rose at a 2.1 percent rate after increasing 2.3 percent in the second quarter."

Who The Hell Am I!
I'm a liberal that is extreme in some ways and not in others. I support President Obama and make no apologies for it. I think he has done a phenomenal job, especially when you consider that he inherited a huge mess and has faced unprecedented opposition from a lazy & desperate Republican Party.

Disabled girl repeatedly left at side of road by bus company
FIRST Bus has said it was "deeply sorry" after repeatedly leaving a 13-year-old disabled girl at the roadside.
Kath Gibbons said her daughter Lily, who has cerebral palsy and is confined to a wheelchair, had two "absolute nightmares" while waiting for buses.
This week First blamed a "breakdown" in communications.
Mrs Gibbons said two weeks ago Lily and her carer Jodie Bidgood had to wait for four hours for a bus in Helston with disabled access. And on Saturday, despite twice being assured buses Lily wanted to catch had disabled access, neither did.

"It is an appalling service provided for disabled passengers," Mrs Gibbons told the West Briton.
"Lily needs more independence so her carer calls to take her out so she can pick up some life skills."
Lily wanted to visit friends in Falmouth but had to wait hours for a bus with the right access.
"They went to Penzance in the end," her mother said.
Last weekend, Mrs Gibbons rang in advance on Friday. "They said if I got Lily to Helston by 9.45am the bus would have disabled access. But when it turned up it had no disabled access at all so I drove them to Falmouth."
She then rang First again, and added: "They were quite apologetic and said they would make sure the 3.15pm bus (from Falmouth) would have disabled access." It did not, so Mrs Gibbons had to drive back to Falmouth from her Porthleven home to pick them up.
"I phoned customer services and they said it was very frustrating."
She also said it was unfairly making Lily feel her disability was a stumbling block to getting around.
A company spokesman said: "We are in the process of updating our entire fleet to be low floor and easily accessible in time for the Disability Discrimination Act deadlines. We do have a policy of making reasonable adjustments for our disabled customers where we are able to.
"We have investigated the complaint and have found that a breakdown in communication on our part led to the failure to provide a low-floor bus on Saturday.
"We are deeply sorry for this error and for the inconvenience it caused. We have reviewed the internal process that contributed to the error and will do everything possible to avoid similar mistakes in future."
The company would be offering its personal apologies for what happened.

Kansas City Chiefs win age discrimination lawsuit
- Paul Koepp
- Reporter- Kansas City Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+ | LinkedIn
A Jackson County jury has found in favor of the Kansas City Chiefs in an age discrmination lawsuit.
The team successfully defended the suit from Steve Cox, a former maintenance manager who was terminated in 2010 after giving an employee an unapproved raise.
Tony Romano and Eric Packel of Polsinelli Shughart PC represented the Chiefs. Lewis Galloway and Dennis Egan represented Cox.
Plaintiff lawyers have several other age discrimination cases pending against the Chiefs. Galloway and Egan argued that the organization made a broad push to displace older employees.
In closing arguments Tuesday, Romano said Cox admitted he had given the raise without permission. He also criticized the plaintiff's lawyers for drumming up media interest in the case and drawing TV cameras into the courtroom.
"This lawsuit isn't about Mr. Cox," Romano said. "It's about these lawyers."
Paul writes about legal affairs and advertising and marketing.

Ford summons Genk unions, fuelling closure fears
- Tweet
- Share this
BRUSSELS/PARIS (Reuters) - Ford (F.N) called an emergency meeting with unions at its assembly plant in Genk, Belgium, amid mounting expectations that the U.S. automaker is preparing to close the factory.
Ford summoned staff representatives to a meeting with European executives at 0700 GMT (0300 EDT) on Wednesday without providing an agenda, officials from three unions said on Monday.
"No one is allowed to tell us anything," said an official with the ABVV Metaal union. "We're assuming it will be a very serious announcement."
A Ford spokesman declined to comment on the meeting or its purpose. "We will not comment on discussions with our unions," he said.
The plant in Genk, eastern Belgium, employs 4,300 workers to assemble the Mondeo mid-size car and Galaxy and S-MAX minivans. All three models are approaching the end of their current life cycles.
Pressure for European plant closures has been growing as the region's protracted auto-market slump racks up ever deeper losses from idled sites. Ford doubled its European loss forecast to $1 billion in July and said action was needed to "decrease our production to match real demand".
Ford is due to present third-quarter financial results to investors and reporters on October 30.
Unions in Genk had said last month they were more optimistic about the plant's future after Ford set a date to start production of the new Mondeo next October.
According to sources with knowledge of production plans, however, Ford is prepared to wind down the facility and build the Mondeo elsewhere. The tentative start date is not a reprieve for Genk, said the sources, who asked not to be identified because the plans were confidential.
Genk's closure, if confirmed, would be Belgium's second car factory decommissioning in two years, after General Motors (GM.N) scrapped its Antwerp site in 2010. It would leave the country with two assembly plants, Volvo's in Ghent and Volkswagen's (VOWG_p.DE) Audi facility in Brussels.
The scale of Ford's European losses has fuelled speculation that it will join PSA Peugeot Citroen (PEUP.PA) and Opel in announcing a major plant closure.
Paris-based Peugeot unveiled plans in July to cut 8,000 additional jobs and close a domestic plant in Aulnay, near the French capital. Opel is in talks with unions on a restructuring plan leading to the eventual closure of its factory in Bochum, Germany.
In a recent research note, New York-based UBS analyst Colin Langan predicted that Ford would move to close a major plant in Europe, where its factories are running at 52 percent of maximum output on average this year.
"Ford is most likely to close its assembly plant in Genk," Langan said, citing the factory's "consistently low utilization level".
Shuttering the Belgian factory would cost an estimated $1.1 billion euros and generate annual savings of $730 million, Langan also said.

Let me nip in the bud the "look it up comments" by saying I am familiar with Weatherbase and have already checked there but besides the numbers, I am also looking for travelers with on the ground experience.
We usually travel mid-May but this year we are considering an earlier trip (in search of better airfare) and are thinking about a trip to Lisbon and SanSebastian. We don't have to beach and swim BUT we do like pleasant outdoor weather for some walking / hiking / biking and most importantly cafe sitting! So any of you that have traveled to these locations around the end of April, I would appreciate your feedback. My impression is that "prime time" for San Sebastian is actually summer but that's not going to happen - some pleasant spring-like weather will be acceptable. Thanks!
Lisbon / San Sebastian mid to late April

I was in Lisbon mid-March this year. One rainy day, a little on the chilly side in the evening. I would think April would be great.
Report Abuse
I was in San Sebastian from May 5-10 last year, and had beautiful, sunny weather every day with temps around 75. We were also often told how lucky we were b/c five straight days with no rain and warm temps were uncommon at that time of year.
I hope you get our luck! -

You will probably see a fair share of rain in San Sebastián in April, but it can also be very pleasant. Not uncommon with plenty of both rain and sun on the same day, many showers and also lots of blue skies. 15 past years statistics for the last part of April in San Sebastián says daily highs between 55-66F, average six hours sun pr. day and rainfall half of the days. When I lived there some years ago, I had some nice swims in April.
Lisboa and San Sebastián sounds like a wonderful combination, two very different pearls of the Iberian peninsula. -

I would love SS in either sun or rain..It is such a vibrant, lovely town and the sea is always awesome rain of shine. Do not miss Comb of the Wind on the coast in town. If the sea is rough all the better..Take plastic lonchos as they fit in your pocket and are a blessing although they do leave alot to be desired fashionwise..SS is a great spot and as Kimhe pointed 2 pearls of the penisula!!!

Rare amoeba found in 1 water system in Louisiana
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — The federal say a rare amoeba that caused the August death of a child in south Louisiana has been found in five locations in a north Louisiana water system.
The state Department of Health and Hospitals said Tuesday the CDC confirmed the presence of the Naegleria fowleri amoeba in five places in DeSoto Parish Waterworks District No. 1, which is one of 14 water systems in the parish.
State health officials say there are no known current cases of illness related to the discovery in DeSoto or elsewhere in Louisiana.
The water system said it will begin a free chlorine burn in the system Wednesday to last for 60 days.
DHH began testing the DeSoto system as a precaution after St. Bernard Parish's water system tested positive. DeSoto was the site of one of two 2011 amoeba-related deaths in Louisiana.
Florida boy fights rare infection caused by amoeba
LABELLE, Fla. (AP) - Health officials in Florida say a 12-year-old boy is fighting a rare and deadly infection that is attacking his brain.
Family members told media outlets that Zachary Reyna of Southwest Florida was infected with Naegleria fowleri, a microscopic single-celled living amoeba that is commonly found in freshwater lakes, ponds and rivers. State health officials say it can cause a rare brain infection called primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) that destroys brain tissue and is usually fatal.
Victims typically are exposed to the bug while swimming or doing water sports in warm ponds, lakes and rivers during the hot summer months, mostly in the South.
Family members said the boy was infected while knee boarding with friends in a ditch near his family's LaBelle house on Aug. 3. He is being treated in the intensive care unit at Miami Children's Hospital.

UPDATE - 1:00 p.m. Friday, March 7
KGVO News has received a report from the Montana Department of Justice regarding details of Friday night's fatal officer involved shooting.
HELENA – Ravalli County Sheriff Chris Hoffman has requested that the Montana Department of Justice's Division of Criminal Investigation look into an officer-involved shooting that took place Thursday night near Hamilton.
At 7:39pm yesterday, a woman called the Ravalli County Sheriff Office's non-emergency number saying her son was having problems with his girlfriend at his residence. At approximately 8pm, the 47-year-old male in question called the non-emergency number requesting a deputy come to his residence at 808 Cuf Lane. At 8:21pm, the man called 911 and continued to talk about problems he was having with his girlfriend, who was not present in the home. A deputy arrived shortly before 8:30pm.
While talking with the deputy for several minutes, the man was angry and agitated, accusing the deputy of not being a real law enforcement officer. The man then walked toward a weapon that was visible in the room. The deputy told the man not to pick up the weapon but he disregarded the instructions and did so anyway, turning the weapon toward the deputy. In response to the threat, the deputy fired on the man and killed him. He died at the scene.
In accordance with standard procedure, the deputy involved – a three-year veteran of the Ravalli County Sheriff's Office – has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation into the incident.
Powell County Coroner John Pohle will be the coroner on this case. Once the state's investigation is complete, the case file will be presented to Coroner Pohle and the Ravalli County Attorney for review. A coroner's inquest will be scheduled and held in Ravalli County.
City police departments and county sheriff offices routinely request the Department of Justice's Division of Criminal Investigation to investigate officer-involved shootings.
More information will be released when it becomes available.
Ravalli County Sheriff Chris Hoffman has confirmed that there was an officer-involved shooting at a residence southeast of Hamilton last night, Friday, March 6.
Snow mixed with rain has caused flooding in both Missoula and Ravalli counties, but some areas are suffering worse than others.
Lolo Sewer District personnel are working on Thursday afternoon, March 6, on one of the sewer system's lift stations.

Luter, who was unopposed, is pastor of Franklin Avenue Baptist Church in New Orleans, one of the largest churches in the Louisiana Baptist Convention. He was elected last year as first vice president of the SBC.
Nathan Lino, pastor of Northeast Houston Baptist Church in Humble, Texas, a congregation he founded 10 years ago, was unopposed for first vice president. Dave Miller, pastor of Southern Hills Baptist Church in Sioux City, Iowa, was elected in a runoff as second vice president.
Eric Hankins, pastor of First Baptist Church in Oxford, Miss., and Brad Atkins, pastor of Powdersville First Baptist Church in Easley, S.C., also were second vice president nominees. When no one received a majority of the votes, Hankins and Miller were in a runoff. Miller won with 1,202 votes, or 59.5 percent of the ballots cast, to Hankins' 798 votes, or 39.5 percent.
Two men from Missouri were re-elected to their longtime posts. John Yeats, executive director of the Missouri Baptist Convention, was re-elected for his 15th year of service as recording secretary. Jim Wells, a state missionary for the Missouri Baptist Convention, was re-elected for his 11th year as registration secretary.
In other action, messengers elected Danny Akin, president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, to preach the convention sermon at the 2013 annual meeting in Houston. David Allen, dean of the school of theology at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, was elected as the alternate. Charles Billingsley, worship pastor at Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, Va., was chosen as the 2013 music director.
Some mentioned the coincidence of Luter's election on "Juneteenth," a day celebrated as the day in 1865 that Texas slaves finally heard -- two and a half years after the fact -- that they were free.
Luter was nominated by David Crosby, pastor of First Baptist Church in New Orleans, whose three-minute nomination speech was interrupted four times by applause.
"[Luter] would likely be a candidate for sainthood one day if he were a Catholic," Crosby said in describing Luter as "the fire-breathing, miracle-working pastor of Franklin Avenue Baptist Church."
Luter grew Franklin Avenue from a remnant 65 people in a white-flight neighborhood to a congregation of more than 8,000 before "Hurricane Katrina plowed through this part of the world, destroying their facilities and scattering their people all across America," Crosby said.
"Franklin Avenue is now [once again] approaching 5,000 worshippers each Sunday despite the depressed population of our city," Crosby said, "and last year they baptized more than 200. Fred is the only mega-church pastor I know of who has had to do it twice, and he did it against the trends and against the odds."
First Baptist New Orleans took in the Franklin Avenue congregation for two and a half years after Hurricane Katrina left the worship center in 13 feet of water for three weeks amid flooding across New Orleans and the surrounding region in late summer 2005.
The two pastors, Crosby and Luter, both with a heart for the city, began to work together in recovery of the devastated city and its returning residents. Out of that relationship, Luter asked Crosby to nominate him when in January -- after prayer and a word from the Lord pointed out to Luter by his wife Elizabeth -- the Franklin Avenue pastor stepped forward to be a candidate for the SBC presidency.
"He is qualified in every way to hold this office," Crosby said of Luter. "He fully supports world missions through the Cooperative Program. ... He is a man of integrity with a loving family and an unblemished, untarnished reputation in this community where he has lived all his life."
Southern Baptists "are already a convention with great diversity in our membership ranks and our churches. If we are faithful in our work, this diversity will continue to grow," Crosby said. "We need Pastor Fred at the head of the table, helping us understand our mission field and our mission. It is time to tap the great resource of his experience, wisdom and passion for this wider purpose....
"Messengers, we have the opportunity to make history, to show a watching world the truth about our Savior and ourselves and to affirm again the mission that undergirds everything we do," Crosby continued. "Let's give our ballots a voice and shout out to the world: Jesus is Lord. This is our president. We are Southern Baptists."
Luter, on stage already, could be seen wiping tears from his eyes at the extended applause that followed the conclusion of Crosby's nomination speech.
It's customary, current SBC President Bryant Wright said, when there is only one candidate for elective office, for the SBC recording secretary to cast one vote for everyone.
"However, this chair on this occasion believes this historic moment should fully belong to the messengers of the Southern Baptist Convention," Wright said. He instructed the messengers to stand if it was "their pleasure" that Luter be elected president.
It was.
As Luter came to the podium, he wiped more tears from his eyes, pointed toward heaven, and wiped his eyes again.
"To God be the glory for the things He has done," Luter said with a choke in his voice. "God bless you. I love you."
In 2011 Luter became the SBC's first African American first vice president; in 2001 he had been the first African American to preach the convention sermon. He also served on the committee that proposed a revision of the Baptist Faith and Message in 2000.
Luter is a popular preacher at revivals, state conventions, evangelism conferences and other Southern Baptist gatherings.
Lino, born in Johannesburg, South Africa, immigrated with his family to the United States when he was 11. Northeast Houston Baptist -- where about 1,000 people participate in Sunday morning worship -- has planted seven churches in Houston and overseas and plans to start another 10 in the Houston area over the next decade, sending out 200 or more members each time to do so.
Lino, working on his doctorate in ministry at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, has been on mission trips to 26 nations. He was elected this spring as a trustee of the International Mission Board.
Miller, who holds a master of divinity degree from Southwestern Seminary, was born in Iowa to parents who had been missionaries in Taiwan.
He has served the past 21 years as a pastor in Iowa -- 14 as pastor of Northbrook Baptist Church in Cedar Rapids and seven as pastor of Southern Hills Baptist Church in Sioux City, where about 225 people participate in Sunday morning worship. Previously he served four years as a pastor in Virginia.
More than two years ago Miller became the editor of a blog -- www.sbcvoices.com -- that has become known for its collegial conversation.
Karen L. Willoughby is managing editor of the Baptist Message, newsjournal for the 1,600-plus churches in the Louisiana Baptist Convention.

submitted 11 months ago by Kmorrt
Her long story short, i got this friend who is coming out of depression since her father and cousin died. Lately she restarted seing friends, going out and being cheerful.
We planned going out together this thursday. What i had in mind was to go in a tea house our getting a coffee to chat and take some news but i'm affaid this could be too neutral and not cheerful enough
So here Reddit, do you have a good idea of activity to do when you go out with someone curing from depression?
[–]RadheRadhe 1 point2 points3 points 11 months ago

Rent "Wreck it Ralph" and "Despicable Me", bring a case of beer over, maybe something green to smoke, Settle in - watch, drink, smoke, laugh, call out for pizza and wings - and eat and watch, smoke, and laugh and laugh some more. Then just tell her you're always a phone call away.
Hope she feels better soon - but coming out of depression is cyclical.

Justin Trudeau has pulled in $1.3 million so far in the Liberal leadership contest, burnishing his credentials as a political money magnet.
That's triple what Tom Mulcair raised during the whole of his successful bid for the NDP leadership last year.
And it's doubtlessly miles ahead of the combined fundraising draw of Trudeau's rivals in the Liberal race.
The six contenders must file the first of four weekly financial reports with Elections Canada by Sunday.
The Trudeau team says the front-runner's report will show he's raked in just over $1 million since launching his campaign last October — and that doesn't include the 10 per cent that the party takes from all donations.
Nor does it include another $300,000 that the Trudeau team says has been raised but has not yet been processed by the party, through which donations must be funnelled in order to be eligible for tax receipts.
Earlier financial reports showed Trudeau had raised $760,000 by the end of last year — six times more than his nearest competitor, Marc Garneau, who has since dropped out and thrown his support to the front-runner.
The latest numbers show Trudeau has almost doubled his haul in less than three months of the new year.
His team is particularly pleased that he's raised the money largely through small donations from more than 7,500 donors.
The average donation is $155. More than 3,000 donors contributed $20 or less, according to Trudeau's campaign team.
Attracting small donors
The eldest son of former prime minister Pierre Trudeau has long been the Liberals' biggest fundraising draw.
The ability to attract small donations from thousands of contributors is crucial to the party's financial survival, particularly since the per-vote subsidy for federal political parties is being phased out.
Traditionally most reliant on large donations from wealthy individuals and corporations, the Liberal party has struggled to raise money since political financing reforms went into effect in 2004, severely limiting the amount individuals could contribute and banning all but small corporate contributions to local riding campaigns.
Stephen Harper's Conservatives further tightened the rules, slashing the individual donation limit to $1,200 and banning corporate contributions entirely. They are in the process of phasing out the per-vote subsidy, implemented in 2004 to compensate parties for the loss of corporate money.
The Tories have thrived under the tighter financing regime, having mastered the art of raising small donations from thousands of supporters.
Last year, the Tories pulled in $17.3 million — more than twice the Liberals' $8.3 million.
Trudeau has already raised more than the $950,000 spending limit set by the party for the leadership contest, although some expenses are not included in that cap. Trudeau's team has said he'll turn any surplus funds over to the party.
By the end of last year, none of his rivals had come close to Trudeau in the amount of money raised and there's little to suggest that has changed dramatically in the new year.
According to the party's year-end financial report, former Toronto MP Martha Hall Findlay had raised $150,000. But since about $35,000 of that was devoted to paying off debt from her 2006 leadership bid, that put her just behind Garneau, who had raised $123,000 for the current contest.
Toronto lawyer George Takach, who has since dropped out and endorsed Trudeau, had raised $106,000 while Vancouver MP Joyce Murray had raised $57,000, retired military officer Karen McCrimmon $20,000 and Toronto lawyer Deborah Coyne $16,000.
No numbers were included in the year-end party financial report for former cabinet Martin Cauchon or Ottawa lawyer David Bertschi, who dropped out of the race this week. Neither officially registered as candidates until January.

text: Patent References 2878490 3482270 3636574 3805367 3860351 InventorAssigneeApplicationNo. 06/043148 filed on 05/29/1979US Classes:5/13, Link supported unfolding5/187CanvasExaminersPrimary: Nunberg, Casmir A.Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassesA47C 17/13 (20060101)A47C 17/00 (20060101) DescriptionBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThe usual sofa sleeper mechanism is provided with a deck formed of a wire link fabric that functions as a yieldable support for the mattress in the bed-forming position of the mechanism. While the wire is quite durable and provides a strongsupport for the mattress, it has been found to be objectionable from the standpoint of comfort. Also, the wire link fabric has been objected to because it is heavy, abrasive, and difficult to handle. Furthermore, in the seat-forming position of a mechanism that includes wire link fabric, it has often been necessary to provide fabric overdecking for the wire for aesthetic purposes and to try to prevent the imprinting of a noticeable design onthe sofa seat cushions which will sometimes assume the imprint of any article with which they have been in engagement for any length of time. As a consequence of these objections, manufacturers have heretofore sought to replace wire link fabric, butwithout complete success. Some efforts have been made to replace the wire link with canvas, but canvas is objectionable because it will stretch and bucket and is difficult to maintain in a taut condition. It is an object of this invention, therefore, to provide an improved deck assembly which overcomes the objections outlined above and also eliminates the need for overdecking under the seat cushions. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the deck assembly of this invention, a sheet of polypropylene fabric is provided at its edges with a seam in which border wires are enclosed. The sheet is then mounted on the open sofa sleeper frame by means of the usual coil springs whichare hooked into the frame and over the enclosed border wires at the edges of the polypropylene fabric sheet. The wires maintain the fabric in a relatively taut horizontal condition in which the deck provides the desired yieldable support for the bedmattress. When the sofa sleeper frame is moved to its stacked folded position, stored within the sofa frame, the polypropylene fabric forms an excellent support for the usual sofa sleeper cushions. The polypropylene fabric is strong and, in use, stretches slightly to enhance its capability as a yieldable mattress support, but because it is a synthetic heat treated fiber, the polypropylene deck always returns to its original shape. It is the principal object of this invention, therefore, to provide an improved deck for sofa sleeper mechanisms that is formed of a polypropylene fabric. Further objects, features, and advantages of this invention will become apparent from a consideration of the following description, the appended claims, and the accompanying drawing in which: FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a sofa sleeper mechanism shown in assembly relation with a sofa frame, illustrating the mechanism in its open bed-forming position and provided with the improved deck assembly of this invention; FIGS. 2 and 3 are enlarged transverse sectional views, as seen from lines 2--2 and 3--3, respectively, in FIG. 1 illustrating the mounting of the improved deck assembly on the sofa sleeper frame; and FIG. 4 is a fragmentary plan view of the polypropylene fabric from which the improved deck assembly of this invention is constructed. With reference to the drawing, the improved polypropylene fabric deck assembly of this invention,indicated generally at 10, is shown in FIG. 1 incorporated in the mechanism 12 for a sofa sleeper 14. The mechanism 12 includes a foldable frame 14 having a plurality of sections, namely, a head section 16, an intermediate section 18, and a foot section20 which are hingedly connected and mounted in a conventional manner on the frame (not shown) for the sofa sleeper 14. The hinged connection of the sections 16, 18, and 20 and the mounting of the frame on the sofa sleeper 14 enables the frame 14 to bemoved between the bed-forming position shown in FIG. 1, in which the sections 16, 18, and 20 are arranged side by side and a seat-forming position (not shown) in which the sections 16, 18, and 20 are relatively stacked and stored within the sofa sleeper14. In the seat-forming position of the frame 14, it supports the usual sofa cushions (not shown). U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,352,989 and 3,813,710 disclose sofa sleepers of the general type discussed above and the disclosures in these patents areincorporated herein by reference to avoid burdening this disclosure with details of conventional sofa sleeper structure. In the bed-forming position of the frame 14, illustrated in FIG. 1, the foot section 20 is supported on legs 22 so that the deck assembly 10 is in a generally horizontal position for supporting the usual sofa mattress (not shown). The deckassembly 10 comprises a sheet 24 of polypropylene fabric which is shown as being in two pieces, 26 and 28, it being understood that the sheet 24 can be one piece or can be made of more than the two pieces illustrated. The sheet 24 is stitched so that ithas edge seams 30 at its periphery (FIGS. 2 and 3), and border wires 32 are enclosed within the seams 30. Conventional coil springs 34 are hooked, at one of their ends, into the frame members 36 and 38 that are connected together to form the frame 14. The opposite ends of the springs 34 are hooked over the border wires 32 so as to maintain the sheet 24 in a substantially taut horizontal position on the frame 14 in which it can function effectively as a yieldable support for the conventional sofasleeper mattress. In a sofa sleeper of the type illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 2,352,989, in which the mattress support is positioned directly below the sofa sleeper cushions, in the seat-forming position of the mechanism 12, the sheet 24 is alsocapable of functioning as the overdecking, thus eliminating the need for overdecking. The sheet 24 is constructed by weaving a plurality of polypropylene fibers or yarns 40 (FIG. 4) which have been heat treated so that they can be stretched when subjected to suitable stress, but when the stress is removed, will return to theiroriginal sizes. Polypropylene yarns of this type are conventional and are described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,470,928, the disclosure in which is incorporated herein by reference. In the use of the deck assembly 10 of this invention, when the frame 14 is in its bed-forming position illustrated in FIG. 1, the polypropylene sheet 24 is in a generally horizontal position and is in relative taut condition so that it willprovide the desired yieldable support for the conventional sofa sleeper mattress (not shown). When the mattress is being slept on, the sheet 24 may stretch slightly to accommodate localized loads, but when the loads are removed, the sheet 24 will returnto its original taut condition. Because the sheet 24 is a fabric, it has the ability to function as an overdecking in the seat-forming position of the frame 14 in which the frame sections 16, 18, and 20 are stacked one on top of the other and stored within the sofa sleeper 14. When the sheet 24 functions as overdecking, it provides the necessary yieldable support for the conventional sofa sleeper pillows without imprinting a design in the pillows, as is the case with conventional wire fabric. From the above description, it is seen that this invention provides an improved sofa sleeper deck assembly 10 which is advantageous because it is formed of a sheet 24 consisting principally of polypropylene fibers 40. The described mounting forthe sheet 24 maintains the sheet in a taut condition for best supporting the conventionl sofa sleeper mattress. |

For nonbipartite addressable graphs,dmust be even, and it is shown that there exist graphs requiring an arbitrarily largedfor addressing. An addressing algorithm is given which is guaranteed to address any addressable graph.
