McCarthy, Wetherstield, and Girard S. Haviland, West Hartford, Conn, assignors to The Jacobs Manufacturing Company, West Hartford, Conn, a corporation of New Jersey Filed Jan. 3, 1964, Ser. No. 335,482 18 Claims. (Cl. 279-63) This invention relates to rotary power tools, especially those of the compact type, having a chuck mounted upon a driving spindle which spindle tends to be rotated or carried around by the chuck as the jaws of the latter are being actuated to open or closed condition. In such tools it is required that the spindle be held stationary while a part of the chuck is being rotated relative to the spindle to effect opening or closing of the jaws of the chuck. conventionally, this rotation of a part of the chuck relative to the spindle has been accomplished by means of a manipulative key. However, the key actuated chuck has its disadvantages in that the key is subject to being lost, damaged or becoming inoperable. A general object of this invention is to improve such tools so that the usual key is dispensed with and the actuation of the chuck to open or closed condition is manually done in an easy, efficient, and practical manner. A feature of the invention is a spindle lock mechanism which is actuable by one hand of the operator to restrain the spindle again-st rotation, and is of such nature that the operator is enabled to simultaneously use the same hand to rotate a part of the chuck relative to the spindle to effect an opening or closing adjustment of the jaws of the chuck, while holding the housing of the tool stationary in his other hand. A further feature of this invention lies in the construction of the chuck itself, in which the body of the chuck is attached to the motorized spindle of the tool and another rotatable unit of the chuck is balanced for easy rotation on the body portion. This arrangement facilitates rotation of the jaw actuating unit by one hand of the operator while the same hand is simultaneously actuating the spindle lock mechanism. A further object of the invention is to provide a practical and efficient manipulative spindle lock for restraining the spindle of a rotary tool against rotation so as to enable relative rotation of a part of the chuck to effect opening or closing adjustment of the jaws of the chuck; and A still further object of the invention is to associate with the spindle lock a chuck having a balanced and lightweight rotatable jaw actuating unit, which enables the spindle lock and the rotatable unit to be simultaneously and easily operated with one hand. The foregoing and other objects and features of this invention will appear more fully hereinafter from a consideration of the detailed description which follows, taken together with the accompanying drawings wherein an embodiment of the invention is illustrated. It is to be expressly understood, however, that the drawings are for purposes of illustration and description, and they are not to be construed as defining the limits of the invention. In the accompanying drawings: FIG. 1 is a longitudinal section through the nose end of a manually portable rotary power tool embodying the invention; FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the chuck member detached from the power tool; FIG. 3 is a side elevational view showing the spindle lock moved to its locking position, and showing the chuck jaws to have been moved from the open condition of FIG. 1 to closed condition; FIG. 4 is a view of the left or rear end of FIG. 2; FIG. 5 is a view of the right or front end of FIG. 2; FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken on line 66 of FIG. 1; FIG. 7 is a detail in side elevation of the screw shaft body of the chuck; FIG. 8 is a sectional detail taken on line 8-8 of FIG. 1 showing a jaw member seated in a track of the jaw guide member; FIG. 9 is a fragmentary longitudinal sectional view showing the relation of the nosepiece to the jaw guide member and the relation of the latter to the sleeve member before the nosepiece has been fully tightened upon the jaw guide; FIG. 10 is a view of the right end of the jaw guide; FIG. 11 is a view of the left end of the nose piece; FIG. 12 is a sectional detail taken on line 12-12 of FIG. 1 showing the interlocking relation of the nosepiece with the jaw guide member; FIG. 13 is a rear elevational view of a modified form of the collar; FIG. 14 is a sectional view taken on line 14-14 of FIG. 13; FIG. 15 is a view similar to FIG. 3, but showing the modified structure of FIG. 13 in locking position; and FIG. 16 shows the screw body and collar as having a longitudinally splined slidable relation to one another. In the accompanying drawings illustrating the invention there is disclosed in FIG. 1 the nose end of the casing 2t) of a portable rotary power tool. The casing, only a fragmentary portion of which is shown, is of conventional configuration adapted to support a spindle 22. The casing has fitted in its nose end a bearing 21 in which the spindle 22 is supported for rotation. The spindle is driven by a rotary motor, not shown, which motor may be either of an electrical or pneumatic type. A threaded end 23 of the spindle projects externally of the casing 29. Threadedly mounted upon this end of the spindle for rotation by the latter is a chuck, generally designated 24. The chuck includes a tapered screw shaft body 25 (FIGS. 1, 7), having an internally threaded axial rear recess 26 in which the end 23 of the spindle is tightly threaded, so that the screw body 25 and spindle 22 rotate as a unit. In this threaded engagement the rear end face 27 of the screw body 25 limits against an annular shoulder 28 of the spindle and is disposed in close relation to the front end face 29 of the casing 20. The screw body 25 can be considered in effect as an extension of the spindle. Supported on the screw body for relative rotation is a jaw actuating unit 31. When rotated relative to the screw body, this unit, according to its direction of rotation, causes jaw elements 32 of the chuck to move toward open or closed condition. This unit includes a cylindrical open ended sleeve 33 (FIGS. 1, 9) having an annular thick radial flange 34 at its rear. This flange sleeves with a slight clearance a cylindrical portion 36 formed intermediately of the ends of the screw body. This flanged end of the sleeve is supported upon a ring of ball bearings 37 for rotation relative to the screw body. The bearings are freely rotatable in and fill a raceway defined by a pair of opposed complementary annular grooves 38, 39, one of which is formed in the flange of the sleeve and the other of which is formed in the screw body. A radial hole 41 in the flange 34 communicating with the raceway serves as a means for entering the bearings into the raceway. A set screw 42 serves to confine the bearings to the raceway against escape. An open ended nosepiece 43 has an externally threaded rear portion 44 engaged with internal threads 45 of the sleeve. Extending axially through the nosepiece is a coned opening 46 in which is seated an axial forwardly extending coned portion 47 of a jaw guide member 48. The nosepiece (FIGS. 1, 11) has a plurality of circumferentially spaced rearwardly extending lugs 49, here six in number (FIGS. 1, 12, 11). When the sleeve member 33 is threaded over the rear portion of the nosepiece 43 and the nosepiece is drawn tightly into the sleeve until limited (FIG. 1) by abutment of a shoulder 51 of the nosepiece with the end wall 52 of the sleeve, the lugs 49 are slidably drawn into individual notches 53 (FIGS. 1, 12) formed in a cylindrical rear portion 54 of the jaw guide. This effects an interlocking engagement of the nosepiece and jaw guide (FIGS. 1, 12) whereby the sleeve, nosepiece and jaw guide become rotatable as a unit relative to the screw body 25. The jaw guide 48 has an axially extending coned recess 55 in its rear. By means of this recess the jaw guide sleeves over and is free to rotate relative to the peripheral surface of a forwardly extending screw formation 56 of the screw body. This screw portion extends beyond the radial flange 34 of the sleeve into the interior of the latter. A cylindrical pilot 57 extending axially from the bottom of the coned recess of the jaw guide extends into an axial bore 58 formed in a truncated front end of the screw body and bears therein for relative rotation. The jaw guide has (FIGS. 6, 8, 9, 10) three inclined or angularly extending tracks or jaw guide slots 59 converging toward each other and spaced equally apart. In each slot is slidably disposed a jaw member 32 for guided movement to open and close condition. These slots open at their rear portions, as at 61 (FIG. 9) into the coned recess 55. Each jaw has along the underside of its rear portion threads 62 which project through the openings 61 into the coned recess 55 and engage with the threads of the tapered screw formation 56. Rotation of the sleeve member acts through the nosepiece and the jaw guide to carry the jaws 32 rotatably relative to the tapered screw, whereupon the jaws are caused to threadedly ride up or down the tapered screw to open or closed condition, accordingly as the sleeve is rotated in one direction or the other. The fully open and closed conditions of the jaws are shown respectively in FIGS. 1 and 3. The jaws are guided in their movement by means of the elongated slots 59 (FIGS. 8 and 9), the side walls 63 of which bear against opposed flat faces 64 of the jaws. Each jaw is further equipped for guided movement along its related slot by means of an arcuate back portion 65 (FIGS. 1, 8), the arcuate surface of which is exposed through the jaw slot 59 and bears against the internal wall 46 of the nosepiece as the jaw rides along its slot. This back portion overhangs the side faces of the jaw and defines a pair of shoulders 66 which ride upon complementary shoulders 67 of the slots. The peripheral surface of the sleeve 33 is serrated, as indicated in FIGS. 2, and 6, to enable convenient manual gripping of the sleeve to elfect rotation of the rotatable jaw actuating unit 31. The latter unit has a balanced support upon the screw body 25 due to the bearings 37 which support its rear end and due to the pilot bearing 57 which supports its forward end. This balanced support enables easy and smooth rotation of the jaw actuating unit on the screw body with a minimum of friction and with the exertion of a minimum of manual effort. The pilot bearing 57 is of further advantage in that during assembly of the jaw actuating unit it serves to axially center the jaw guide 48 relative to the nosepiece 43. A further construction feature of the jaw actuating unit 31 is its lightweight. This reduces rotational inertia which reduces the tendency of the chuck to open when the spindle is suddenly stopped. It is also a distinct advantage in the lightning of portable tools. This lightweight is effected by forming the jaw guide of lightweight material, such as plastic or aluminum. The plastic construction of the jaw guide also enables a tight and accurately seated relation of the jaw guide in the nosepiece and in the sleeve. To further obtain this accurate axial relation, the jaw guide has a group of equally spaced lugs 68 (FIGS. 1, 6, 9) extending rearwardly from its end wall. In the operation of assembling the rotatable unit, the sleeve 33 is threaded onto the nosepiece, Causing the latter to be drawn inwardly. In moving inwardly of the sleeve the interior wall of the coned opening 46 of the nosepiece seats over the coned extension 47 of the jaw guide, and forces the jaw guide rearwardly to abut the end lugs 68 against the flange 34 of the sleeve. As the nosepiece is further tightened and drawn inwardly until an annular shoulder 51 thereof abuts the end wall 52 of the sleeve, the lugs 68 are crushed against the flange 34 and the jaw guide 48 becomes tightly squeezed and seated in the coned opening of the nosepiece 43. The crushable nature of the lugs also serves to compensate for various axial tolerances in the nosepiece, jaw guide and sleeve by enabling the jaw guide to move into the nosepiece to the extent needed to seated condition. The piloted relation of the jaw guide to the chuck body also serves as an aid to accurately position the nosepiece relative to the screw body 25 of the chuck. When attempting to rotate the jaw actuating unit 31 to obtain a gripping condition of its jaws about a workpiece, or when attempting to release the jaws from gripping condition, there is a tendency, because of the frictional relation of the threads of the jaws to the screw portion 56 of the chuck body, for the spindle and screw body to also rotate. As a consequence, difficulty is experienced in tightening or releasing the jaws relative to the workpiece. This difficulty is avoided in the present invention by means of a manipulative spindle locking mechanism, generally indicated at 72, (FIGS. 1-4). This spindle locking mechanism includes a manually .slidable collar 73 limited to axial sliding movement on a rearwardly extending squared extension 70 of the screw body of the chuck relative to the front end of the casing 20. The collar is manually slidable so as to carry a group of rearwardly extending lugs 74 thereon into locking relation with slots 75 formed in the end face 29 of the casing, whereby rotation of the driving spindle 22 and the associated chuck screw body 25 are restrained. While the collar is manually held in locked relation to the casing the jaw actuating unit may be manually rotated and the jaws thereof caused to be tightened or released from gripping condition. Upon manual release of the collar, a return spring 76 anchored in peripheral grooves 77 of the chuck screw body functions to disengage the collar relative to the casing. The collar 73, which is shown in FIG. 1 in its normally disengaged condition, has an axial opening 78 (FIG. 4) of general square configuration. The corners 79 of this opening are rounded. The collar slidably sleeves over the external extension 70 of the chuck screw body. The extension 70 has four flat faces 81 corresponding to straight sides of the opening 78 of the collar; and has rounded corners 83 corresponding to the rounded corners 79 of the collar. By this construction the collar has axial movement relative to the chuck screw body, but is restrained against relative rotation. The rounded corners 83 of the extension correspond to the diameter of the cylindrical portion 36 underlying the flange 34 of the sleeve, so that at the forward end of each flat 81 a shoulder 84 appears. This shoulder serves as a stop against which a wall 85 axially recessed in a front face of the collar is limitable in the normal position of the collar (FIGS. 1, 7). The return spring 76 which is of conical coil form has its smallest diameter coil anchored in the peripheral grooves 77 at the rear end of the extension; and it has its largest diameter coil biased against an axially recessed wall 86 in the rear end of the collar. The collar is biased by the spring to its normal position, as in FIG. 1. It is to be noted that the stop shoulders 84 are located slightly rearwardly relative to the rear wall 87 of the sleeve so as to provide a clearance between the collar and the sleeve. This slight clearance is desired so that the rotatable jaw actuating unit 31 may be run up preparatory to final tightening of the jaws, or may be run down subsequent to releasing of the jaws from the workpiece without any frictional restraint of the collar, as might otherwise be the case were the collar to limit, as it is rotated, against the end wall 87 of the sleeve. The collar is provided on its rear face with four of the lugs 74. These are spaced circumferentially 90 degrees apart. Each of the lugs is adapted to slidably seat in a separate slot 75. These slots extend radially in the end face 29 of the casing 29 and are spaced 90 degrees apart. It is to be noted that the collar has an annular wall extension 88 beyond the recessed wall 85, which freely surrounds the sleeve for a short distance, and also has a thickened inclined end Wall 89. The latter aids in the operation of manipulating the collar to locking condition. The operation of the chuck to open and closed condition relative to a workpiece is facilitated because of the balanced and lightweight construction of the rotatable unit of the chuck and because of the advantageous nature of the locking mechanism. When the operator desires to adjust the jaws to open or closed condition, he grips the sleeve member 33 with his hand while simultaneously sliding his hand endwise against the collar inclined end wall 89 so that if the spindle 22 tends to rotate as the operator applies a twist to sleeve 33, the lugs 74 on the spindle lock mechanism 72 will engage the slots 75 of the stationary casing 20, thus locking the spindle stationary so that a torque equivalent to a full handed grip on sleeve 33 can be applied to open or close the jaws. Upon the operators moving his hand away from the collar the latter is returned by the spring 76 to its normal position. On a portable tool, the one handed operation is very important because the tool casing 20 will usually be held in the other hand. Previously, keyless chuck construction required that the tapered screw body be restrained by one hand while the actuating mechanism was turned with the other. Obviously, on the usual sizes of chucks this resulted in finger tightening rather than full grip tightening because of space limitations with a result that the applied torque on the chuck mechanism was one-half or less of that possible on applicants device. It was also much slower to shift hands around and simultaneously hold the weight of a portable tool. The distance over which the collar is required to slide so as to engage the lugs 74 in the slots 75 is slight. It is relatively shorter than the width of the operators hand, so that all of his hand is enabled to grip the sleeve to effect rotation of the jaw actuating unit. Further, the inclined end wall 39 of the collar is smooth and free of sharp edges. This enables the edge of the operators hand to easily ride against the face of this wall as his hand rotates the jaw actuating unit. The collar 73 disclosed in FIG. 1 is formed of all metal. It may, however, be formed partly of metal and partly of some lighter and less expensive material, such as plastics. In FIGS. 13-15 a modified structure of the collar is shown, wherein a metal insert 91, which serves in part the functions of the lugs 74 also serves to slidably support the collar on the chuck body, is embodied in a plastic collar body 92. The metal insert has a flat annular bottom plate 93 from the periphery of which extend four lugs 94 located 90 degrees apart. Each lug includes an arm portion 95 which is offset at right angles to the plate 93, and further includes a locking car 96 which is offset outwardly at right angles to the arm. Axially of the insert is a squared opening 97 corresponding to the opening 78 of the collar in FIGS. 1 and 4, and serving the same function relative to the extended portion 70 of the chuck screw body. The insert 91 is seated fast in a rear annular recess 98 of the collar body. In its seated condition each of the arms 95 is seated tightly in a complementary groove of the collar. Each of the locking cars 96 is tightly seated in part in a radial groove formed in the end face 99 of the collar body, in such manner that a portion of the ear projects rearwardly beyond the end face 99 of the collar. These ears serve the purpose of the lugs 74, as indicated in FIG. 15, wherein the ears are shown in locking engagement with the radial slots of the casing 20 of the tool. The major diameter coil of the return spring 78 anchored on the extension 70 of the screw body presses against the bottom plate 93 of the insert. An annular recess 101 in the front end of the collar body provides an annular wall 102 which corresponds in function to the annular wall of the collar shown in FIG. 1. The inclined wall 103 of the modified form corresponds to the end wall 89 of the collar of FIGS. 1 and 7. The bottom plate 93 of the insert is exposed at the bottom of the annular recess 10 1. This exposed part is adapted to limit against shoulders of the chuck screw body corresponding to the shoulders 84 shown in FIG. 7, under the bias of the return spring in the normal unlocked condition of the collar. In FIG. 16, the screw body 25 and the collar 73 are shown as having a longitudinally splined slidable relation to one another, as indicated at 104. While the invention has been illustrated and described in detail, it is to be expressly understood that the invention is not limited thereto.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — It's all right there for Adrian Peterson now.
One more game in his remarkable comeback season, and the only thing that remains on the line is everything.
A win against the rival Green Bay Packers on Sunday would put his Minnesota Vikings into the playoffs for the first time since the 2009 season. The milestones of 2,000 yards and Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record are there to be had as well, along with a potential MVP award that would cement his standing among the league's great players.
''It's such a big game when you look at everything that can be accomplished,'' Peterson said Wednesday. ''I'm looking forward to it, man. Most importantly, getting into the playoffs, securing that with a win against Green Bay. Having an opportunity to hit 2,000, having an opportunity to break Eric Dickerson's record in the same game, it would be great to accomplish.''
Perhaps the only thing more improbable than the Vikings (9-6) sitting one victory away from a playoff berth is that they have been carried there by Peterson, who tore two ligaments in his left knee just over a year ago. He has already racked up a career-high 1,898 yards rushing this season, leaving him 102 away from becoming the first player to hit 2,000 yards on a reconstructed knee.
His inspiring recovery has galvanized a team that has been teetering on the edge of elimination the last four weeks and has put some of the biggest names to play the position in his corner as he runs toward history. Dickerson is on record as saying he hopes Peterson falls a little shy of his 2,105 yards rushing in 1984, but everyone from Jim Brown to Terrell Davis to Chris Johnson — the last running back to rush for 2,000 yards — have come out in support of his pursuit.
''So impressed by everything (at)AdrianPeterson has done this year,'' Detroit Lions great Barry Sanders tweeted recently. ''Big fan of E.D. But really pulling for AP to break the record. Good luck.''
Peterson needs 208 yards on Sunday to break Dickerson's record, a number that would be considered close to impossible for most running backs in this pass-happy league. But Peterson has topped that twice in the previous four games. He's also rushed for more yards against the Packers than any other team, including 210 yards at Lambeau Field on Dec. 2.
''I wouldn't say I'm rooting for him to get it, but I want him to do the best that he can do,'' said Johnson, who developed a bit of a rivalry with Peterson a few years back when both laid claim to the title of the best running back in the league. ''It's just a nice story from where he got hurt last year. I sent him a text to see how he was doing and stuff like that. I wish him the best and whatever he does, I congratulate him on it and I'll be happy for him.''
Peterson has been humbled by all the support and is understanding of Dickerson's stance, but there is one player he wishes he could sit down with before he plays one of the biggest games of his career — Walter Payton.
''What inspired you to be the best?'' he wishes he could ask the Bears great, who died in 1999. ''How did he deal with success and fame? If he could do anything different, what would it be? What would he have done?''
Peterson speaks to Vikings coach Leslie Frazier about Payton. Frazier was a teammate of Payton's and has routinely said he sees striking similarities between the two, on and off the field.
His name is up there with Tom Brady and Peyton Manning in the MVP discussion, and an MVP win for Peterson would break a string of five straight given to quarterbacks. He's certainly showing that an offense can be successful while relying heavily on the running game and validating the Vikings' decision to invest heavily in him with a lucrative contract extension before last season.
''I definitely want to keep the running backs highlighted,'' Peterson said. ''It's started to turn into more of a spread, quarterback-friendly NFL. But just keep letting them know that there are going to be running backs that can do this.
''Just give young guys the inspiration to try to be better than me. Just inspire them to get on top of their game to be better so that running backs continue to prosper in this league and have coaches and organizations respect us so we can continue to not only play the game we love, but take care of our family.''
LaDainian Tomlinson, another running back with Texas roots, won the MVP award in 2006, the last time a non-quarterback has won the award.
''It would definitely be nice to do that,'' Peterson said. ''And I feel like it will happen. I just have the confidence in myself and the guys that surround me who have played such a big part in this the whole season.''Continued...

The executive director of the Solid Waste Authority is taking aim at Palm Beach County Inspector General Sheryl Steckler, alleging that a report released by her office in February was flawed and should be corrected.
Steckler said she stands by her office's findings, which she contends show that a hauler hired by the waste authority to truck garbage from the county's unincorporated areas diverted even more trash out of the county than previously thought. The diversion cost the authority an additional $371,000 in lost landfill revenue, the report found.

Federwisch throws second shutout in as many days
Sophomore throws three hitter as Bucs split with Dolphins
ALVIN, Texas – Sophomore pitcher Kaci Federwisch threw her second shutout in as many days Saturday, leading the eight-ranked Blinn College softball team to an 8-3 victory over Alvin Community College.
Alvin won the second game of the double-header, 4-3.
Federwisch improved to 13-3 on the season with a three-hit shutout in the first game of the twin bill. The win came one day after she threw a one-hit shutout against Iowa Lakes on Friday.
Sophomore catcher Brittney Krchnak went 3-for-3 with two RBIs and Kristina Davila went 2-for-3 and drove in a run. Thomasina Garza and Michelle Svehla each hit RBI doubles, while Leandra Maly and Tiffani McKnight each had a pair of hits and Shelbe Sterling drove in a run.
Alvin won the second game thanks to four unearned runs. Freshman Shannon Sain took her first loss of the season, making her 8-1 on the year, and Caitie Carney threw the final three innings.
The Buccaneers are now 26-5 on the season and 3-1 in the Region XIV Conference. The Buccaneers host San Jacinto for a 4 p.m. conference double-header at Hohlt Park in Brenham on Wednesday.

------ About the album MMHMM performed by Relient K
This band is really amazing, and their new album "mmhmm" is the best by far. They have continued with their trademark quirky but meaningful lyrics, but have taken the sound in a new direction, while still maintaining the quality and fun you would expect from such an awesome band!

Accounting for age in marital search decisions
The average quality of spouse an individual marries varies significantly with age at marriage, peaking in the mid-twenties, then declining through the mid-forties, as does the hazard rate of marriage. Using a non-stationary sequential search model, we identify the search frictions that generate these age-dependent marriage outcomes. We find that the arrival rate of suitors is the dominant friction, responsible for 80% of hazard rate variation and 49% of spouse quality variation. Surprisingly, the distribution of suitor quality is a lower-order concern. Also, individual choice, rather than worsening frictions, is responsible for most of the decline in spouse quality.Download Info

How about this: http://www.amazon.com/Philips-DS3881.../dp/B005HY4UIW
It's Airplay, rechargeable and portable. The stainless steel 'disc' it sits on is actually a charging base: You just lift the black 'donut' off the base and take it wherever you want music. When you're done, drop it back on the base and it recharges. There are controls on the unit for Vol +/- and play/pause. These remotely control the Mac/iPhone/ipod/ipad that you're streaming from - so everything stays in sync which is cool. I recently bought several for the house to replace some airport expresses and a motley collection of speakers. By keeping everything similar and simple in each room I'm hoping the wife and kids will actually start using them. The previous setups had manual volume, power ON/OFF, etc., so they didn't always work first time (which means they weren't used much at all). Probably not worth $300 full price, but you can find them on clearance in Marshall's/tjmaxx right now for $99. An absolute steal.

My penis kinda smells like fish, like the smell of a unclean vag. Its not from sex because I'm a virgin, so what's wrong with me? I don't think this is normal. I haven't had sex, but I ate a girl out and fingered her. So, why does my dick smell fishy?
What's Your Opinion?

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - A lawyer for a former Little Rock police officer charged with manslaughter is again asking the trial judge to step away from the case.
Attorney Bill James on Tuesday asked Circuit Judge Wendell Griffen to recuse from presiding at Josh Hastings' trial, which is set to begin Monday.
Griffen denied a previous request by James that he step aside, claiming there was no evidence he's biased. James renewed the request on grounds that Griffen didn't copy him on a note in which the judge asked prosecutors whether James was on time in turning over information about an expert witness.
James' filing notes he sent a copy of the document to the Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission.
Hastings is accused in the death of 15-year-old Bobby Moore III.

TROUBLED BRIDGES. Inspectors bear an increasing public-safety burden, as once-grand structures yield to stress, rust, and decay
New York
THE 151-foot midriff section of Third Avenue Bridge swings open at a 90-degree angle, allowing oversize barges plying the Harlem River to pass beneath it. Dubbed ``2-40069'' by inspectors, it juts into a New York City skyline cut by the humped double arches of the Triborough Bridge, the steel latticework of the Willis and Madison Avenue bridges, and the blue towers of the Metro North railroad bridge. On the third day of a two-week inspection, Richard Nyman stands in a cherry picker illuminated by three generator-powered lamps and pounds away with a chip hammer at an 18-inch crack scarring the underside of the bridge. Mr. Nyman, leader of a three-man inspection team, is carving out bits of encrusted rust to measure the extent of corrosion in the steel stringers that support part of the superstructure.
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
Using an ultrasonic testing device, he discovers that the decay warrants a ``flag,'' indicating the imminent failure of a major structural component. After photographing the trouble spot, he adds another detailed entry to a growing 49-page inspection report.
Bridge inspectors work in anonymity, among the shadows cast by abutments and girders. But since cracks in a floor beam forced last month's closing of the Williamsburg Bridge, diverting 240,000 commuters who depend on it for daily passage between Brooklyn and Manhattan, the city's inspectors have been pushed into the public spotlight.
``When a patient dies, they bury him,'' says Salomon Bokman. ``But when a bridge dies, they bury the inspector.''
Mr. Bokman and his bridge inspection teams from the consulting engineering firm Hardesty & Hanover are on the front lines of a battle to chart the condition of New York City's battered bridges.
Transportation officials say the closing of the Williamsburg Bridge illustrates dramatically the ills of New York's bridge system. They warn that years of neglect have left nearly half of the city's 2,098 bridges in need of major reconstruction or rehabilitation.
New York City's bridges span rivers, bays, canals, rail lines, and roadways to form a metropolis. The city's transportation department estimates that more than 160 million trips are made daily across New York's bridges. Yet 371 city-owned bridges are rated structurally deficient, and 32 bridges are completely or partly closed, according to the transportation department's 1987 condition report on bridges and tunnels.
Engineers who specialize in the repair and rehabilitation of bridges generally agree that age, a harsh climate, heavy traffic, and years of substandard maintenance have crippled New York's bridge system.
``Maintenance is the poor stepchild to bridge design,'' says John Alskog, chief of the Bridge Management Branch of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). ``It's much more attractive politically to open a brand new bridge than it is to dedicate a new [bridge] paint job.''
Ross Sandler, commissioner of the city transportation department, acknowledges that the city's bridges receive little preventive maintenance, such as scrubbing corrosive salt off roadways and painting steel members on a regular basis. Most maintenance consists of emergency repair work, a kind of knee-jerk reaction that Mr. Sandler describes as a ``formula for constant deterioration.''
Staff reductions from 1938 to the present have sent the city's 160-member bridge maintenance team scrambling to repair the backlog of neglected bridges. The Brooklyn Bridge, for example, once had 200 full-time bridge maintenance workers assigned to it exclusively; now it has the equivalent of fewer than five workers (including part-timers). Sandler is seeking a maintenance budget increase from $8 million annually to $40 million.
``In 1963, when jurisdiction of the city's bridges was transferred to the [city's] Department of Highways, the voice for bridge maintenance was lost in government bureaucracy,'' says Sandler. ``Bridges are an invisible public resource with no natural constituency.''
``People are more concerned with potholes than a defective bridge,'' adds Bokman. ``Unless of course the bridge fails.''
Bokman, a consulting engineer, is supervising a piece-by-piece inspection of the Third Avenue Bridge, one of 13 bridges that join the island of Manhattan with the Bronx. Completed in 1899, it is the sixth-oldest waterway bridge in New York.

"First of all: We chose MSC CRUISES because our children…"
First of all: We chose MSC CRUISES because our children could cruise free if they shared the same cabin with us
It was our second family cruise with our kids 6 and10 years old. The ship was spotless and plenty of things to do on board.
The food was excellent and the variety was unbelievable. Fresh fruits, a variety of salads, pasta, pizza, hamburgers...;
The buffet breakfast was awesome with a choice of 5 types of eggs and every breakfast food you can think of. It was a very good start to the day. Once we ordered breakfast in our room and there is nothing nicer than sitting on your balcony in the sun and eating your breakfast with your family
Free coffee, juice and water were available during breakfast and free coffee and water during lunch. We were really surprised when we realized that the cleaning and hand hygiene was a priority everywhere where food and drinks were served.
Kids Clubs run from 9am through to 11pm and are free. Our children loved all the facilities that the cruise had to offer and it allowed us to have the freedom that we needed during our cruise. During the day when we wanted time off to enjoy some of the other entertainment, my children were able to go and play with children of her age and staff on board were very friendly, helpful and made me feel that my children were in safe hands.
The evening entertainment was spectacular and not to be missed. We also tried out the F1 simulator a few times, enjoyed the top deck Jacuzzis and indoor and outdoor pools every day.
All in all a trip well worth recommending to families!Read moreLess4 people found this review helpful.

Haha, and as I sat down to schedule out our days today, I found out each day will only take about 2-2 1/2 hours each day! I have 3 1/2 hrs slotted for school throughout the day. Wow..... All that worry for naught..... Gotta learn to relax, gotta learn to relax, gotta learn to relax.... Might have to print that out and tape it above my school desk.

Two Naples high school students have completed Eagle Scout projects at the Naples Municipal Airport observation deck, making the area more inviting and comfortable for visitors. The Naples Airport Authority built the 600-square-foot deck at the south end of the main runway to provide the public with a good vantage point for watching aircraft.
Richard Evans, 16, prepared the planting area and landscaped with five trees, 300 plants and more than 2,000 square feet of pine straw mulch, after raising $3,000 over several months to fund the effort. He also designed a layout that includes concrete pads for picnic tables and added a rack for six bicycles. His father and past Scoutmaster, Nick Evans, served as the teens' Eagle Scout coach and mentor, and donated the irrigation system for the landscaping project.
Ryan Dell'Aquila, 17, built six heavy-duty picnic tables and two benches to provide seating on and around the deck. The benches and picnic tables are constructed from pressure-treated and composite lumber that is weather- and mildew-resistant.
Both scouts are members of Troop 2. Richard Evans is a junior at Gulf Coast High School, and Dell' Aquila is a junior at Barron Collier High School.
"Each Eagle Scout project is unique, and these projects add good value to the airport," said Scoutmaster Bill Poteet. "Earning the rank of Eagle Scout is an accomplishment that requires a demonstration of all attributes of the Scout Law."
"Having Scouts complete these projects is especially meaningful to me," said City of Naples Airport Authority Executive Director Ted Soliday. "We designed the deck as an amenity for the community, and these young men have made the area more inviting and comfortable. Their contributions will serve many people in the years to come."
Soliday spent more than 40 years as an adult leader in scouting and was recognized for distinguished service.
The observation deck is open to the public from dawn until dusk. It is reached via North Road, which runs along the south perimeter of the airport.
To achieve the rank of Eagle Scout, candidates must meet several requirements, including earning at least 21 merit badges and planning, developing and giving leadership to others in a service project that is helpful to the community. According to a Scouting Magazine blog, 57,976 new Eagle Scouts joined the ranks in 2012. Since 1911, the Boy Scouts of America has recognized more than 2.2 million Eagle Scouts.
Naples Municipal Airport, a certificated air carrier airport, is home to flight schools, air charter operators and corporate aviation and nonaviation businesses as well as fire/rescue services, mosquito control, car rental agencies and the Collier County Sheriff's Aviation Unit. All funds used for the airport's operation, maintenance and improvements are generated from activities at the airport or from federal and state grants; the airport receives no property tax dollars.

Founded by CEO Joanna Vargas—a producer, dancer, and choreographer who started her career by staging events such as The King of Pop, a dance-tribute show to Michael Jackson—QueenVee has staged past events such as Phenomena, a mash-up of a dance showcase and a fashion show that benefited Dance for Peace Charity. Ongoing events include booze cruises aboard a three-story Grand Romance cruise ship in the style of a 19th-century steamboat, complete with an open-air top deck and a team of acrobatic Mark Twain impersonators. Further amenities entertain the up to 320 passengers, including two full-service bars, a professional DJ playing over a large dance floor, and a professional photographer who posts images on Facebook. Raffle and door prizes reward attendees with keepsakes, and tables and booths offer respite from the dance floor and a private place to run Y2K safety drills.
Don and Rick Wood, owners of Cooks Collision, have auto-repair roots that reach back to the 1930s. Their grandfather, Clyde, built cars for Ford Motor Company and later started his own body shop, where he passed his knowledge on to his son, Bob. After working as a body-shop manager for Saltnes Volkswagen, Bob took out a mortgage against his family home and purchased Cooks Auto Body, fulfilling his dream of starting his own shop—just like his dad. Today, Don and Rick carry on the family legacy with nearly 20 locations, 300 employees, and one magical vintage racecar. Their ASE-certified mechanics are factory-certified by Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Jaguar, and Volvo, and they repair around 30,000 cars each year.
With participating locations nationwide, Auto Care Special lets customers reach out to their local garages for a grab bag of free and discounted maintenance services.
