On The Fly: Closing Wrap
Stocks on Wall Street were lower as concerns regarding the escalating situation in Ukraine dominated headlines. The averages opened lower and moved to session lows near midday, before paring some losses in the afternoon. Gold, often seen as a "safe haven" trade, showed notable strength throughout the session. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., personal income rose 0.3% in January, versus the expected increase of 0.2%, while consumer spending rose 0.4%, versus the expected increase of 0.1%. Markit's PMI rose to 57.1 for the final February print, which was up from the preliminary February print of 52.7 and from January's 56.7 reading. ISM's manufacturing PMI for February came in at 53.2, which was better than the expected 52.3 reading and the prior month's 51.3 figure. Construction spending edged up 0.1% in January, which was better than an expected 0.5% decline. In China, the final Markit/HSBC manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index for February fell for the third straight month to a seven-month low of 48.5. The official government manufacturing PMI fell to an eight-month low of 50.2, though the official non-manufacturing PMI rose to a three-month high of 55.0 in February. In Europe, Markit's final euro zone PMI for February came in at 53.2, which was up from an earlier flash estimate of 53.0. COMPANY NEWS: Automakers reported their U.S. sales for February, with a number of manufacturers reporting declines. Ford (F) reported sales fell 6% from the prior year and General Motors reported sales slid 1%, while Japanese automaker Toyota (TM) saw sales fall 4% while Honda Motors (HMC) reported a 7% decline... A number of Russian companies listed in New York fell sharply after Russia invaded Ukraine, as the U.S. and other Western countries strongly condemned the move and warned that Moscow would face consequences if it doesn't back down. Among the stocks under pressure following the developments were Russian Internet search engine Yandex (YNDX), which fell $5.25, or 14.0%, to $32.25, and payment services provider Qiwi (QIWI), which dropped $7.81, or 16.75%, to $38.82. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Lorillard (LO), which rose $4.55, or 9.27%, to $53.61 after a Financial Times report said Reynolds American (RAI) is exploring a bid for the company. Shares of Reynolds also advanced $2.46, or 4.84%, to $53.29 following the report, though analysts at Citigroup said antitrust concerns and other issues make a deal unlikely. Also higher was Tyco (TYC), which added 84c, or 1.99%, to $43.02 after announcing an agreement to sell its South Korea security business to Carlyle Group (CG) and announcing an increase in its share repurchase plan to $2B, though the company lowered its second quarter profit outlook citing its unit divestment. Among the noteworthy losers was Darden Restaurants (DRI), which fell $2.73, or 5.35%, to $48.33 after giving a disappointing third quarter profit outlook, citing the severe winter weather across the U.S. The company also said its working to complete the spin-off of its Red Lobster brand and announced a new logo as part of a "brand renaissance" for its Olive Garden brand. Also lower was Nu Skin (NUS), down $8.91, or 10.67%, to $74.61 after the multi-level marketer gave a first quarter earnings and sales outlook that missed expectations, citing the temporary suspension of some business activities in China. INDEXES: The Dow was down 153.68, or 0.94%, to 16,168.03, the Nasdaq was down 30.82, or 0.72%, to 4,277.30, and the S&P 500 was down 13.72, or 0.74%, to 1,845.73.

WOONSOCKET — East Woonsocket, Lincoln, Burrillville, and Cumberland American came away with impressive victories on Saturday in a quadrupleheader at Aylsworth Park's Hartnett Field that kicked off the R.I. District IV Major Division all-star tournament.
In Pool A action, East Woonsocket was the winner of a 5-4 thriller with Glocester in the day's opening game. Down 4-3 heading into the top of the sixth inning, EWLL tied the score on a solo home run by Jimmy Cabral and went ahead later in the frame with an unearned run.
Cabral also belted a three-run homer in the third, but Glocester came back to take the lead.
While Cabral was one of the day's top performers, so was Lincoln's Connor Sheehan in his team's 12-0 victory over North Smithfield that was halted after five innings by the mercy rule.
Not only did Sheehan belt the game's first pitch for a long home run, but he also pitched four outstanding innings of no-hit ball, striking out 11 batters. N.S. picked up its only hit in the fifth off reliever Kyle Marrapese.
In Pool B play, another splendid pitching performance was turned in by Burrillville's Jason Cabral in the day's finale, as he struck out 10 batters in 5 2/3 innings of work and gave up a sixth-inning unearned run in his team's 7-1 victory over Cumberland National.
Burrillville also received a solo home run from Sam Hetu and a three-run homer by Tyler Richards.
Cumberland American, the defending New England champion with a new cast of players this season, began its title defense with a 6-3 victory over Scituate-Foster. The winners used a three-run rally in the fourth inning and received some solid pitching from Mike DeBlois.
The schedule resumes Monday with a pair of Pool A games that features Smithfield visiting North Smithfield and East Woonsocket hosting Lincoln in 5:30 p.m. games. In Pool B action, a doubleheader at Garvin Field will pit Bernon against Cumberland National at 5:30 p.m. and Burrillville against Cumberland American at 7:30.

Christian, Conservative, Creative
Although parodying a popular Internet meme, these lyrics are still true.
This blog will be a catch-all for my various interests, primarily history and politics. In history, I come from what I call an "anthromagnic" view, meaning I believe history is driven by the decisions of individuals. The key to understanding history is to study the life's of individuals whose decisons, acts, and philosophies (or lack thereof) have shaped the course of events. Politically, I am a Reagan Conservative: socially conservative, economically libertarian, and proactive Neoconservative. Just saying... The Principality of Sylvania is my micronation. I also use the name "Sylvania" for my home. Most importantly, I am a Christian. This bloc will ultimately be used for the glory of God and the growth of the Christian faith.

Lori Criss, MSW, LSW, is an advocate for women in recovery as Chief Operating Officer of Amethyst. Amethyst is a leader in long-term, gender-competent addiction and trauma treatment for women who are homeless and their families in Central Ohio. Amethyst was founded by a group of women who were in recovery and wanted to create a safe place for women and children to recover. The HRC's Wendy Grace Evans chats with Lori Criss to learn more about Amethyst's gender-specific and trauma-informed services for women in recovery.
Q: Tell me about the need for gender-specific services for women in recovery from substance use, trauma, and homelessness.
Women and men have different experiences with substance use. We know that women tend to start using drugs and alcohol in relationship to others. For example, women often use with friends, significant others, or family members. Women do not usually start using substances on their own. As a result, women often enter into addiction in relationship to others. In addiction, a relationship with drugs or alcohol becomes a woman's primary relationship. Her addiction becomes her primary motivating factor for all of her decision-making.
Q: How do relationships help women in recovery?
Women grow in relationship to other people. I believe women have a better chance of exiting addiction and recovering through relationships with other people. It is important for women in recovery to connect with peers who have similar histories and goals. These connections with peers and staff build their positive self-concept and help keep women accountable to their recovery goals. Amethyst creates opportunities for developing safe and healthy relationships. These replace relationships that promote continued use of alcohol and drugs and violence. At
we give women and children the opportunity to learn how to have healthy relationships in recovery and to practice these relationship skills. Our work is informed by the
Relational-Cultural Theory
of human growth, mental health, and social-psychological development.
Q: How do you support women in relationship to each other?
In the 1990s we realized that women with substance use histories are not a homogeneous group. Our staff created descriptions of the five different clusters of women we were seeing in our program. We examined life histories and found that women with similar histories, struggles, and resilient characteristics could really identify with each other. When we connected these women, we learned that they could help each other recover. In Ohio, there is a Coordinating Center of Excellence dedicated to the effectiveness of clusters, called
The Cluster-Based Planning Alliance
is recognized as an evidence-based practice.
Q: Tell me more about this evidence-based practice. What are these clusters?
Working with women in clusters gives us a new way of approaching relationships and recovery with clients. It makes sense clinically and most importantly, the women have responded very positively. Amethyst is very client-driven, using client feedback to drive program development and improvement. The five clusters of women we work with are:
Women with co-occurring disorders
Younger women who were using crack cocaine
Mature women who were using alcohol
Mature women who were using crack cocaine
Women who were using prescription drugs and opiates
We have learned that women with co-occurring disorders require more time and resources to reach functional outcomes. We also learned that the longer women are engaged in treatment and have residential stability, the better their overall outcomes and functioning.
Q: Does Amethyst provide trauma-informed services?
Women who come to Amethyst have histories of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. Some women have experienced all three. We recognize that the psychological response to different forms of trauma is the same. Women need an opportunity to heal from trauma. They need to learn how to recognize trauma triggers and what they mean for sobriety. We provide trauma education. It helps women learn how to recognize and name their trauma, to de-escalate, self soothe, and move through the process of healing. Each woman is healing from substance use, homelessness, and trauma. Healing takes time. Amethyst provides women and their families a safe place to live and recover for up to five years.
Q: What supports do you provide for children of women in recovery at Amethyst?
Many women experience guilt and shame over what their children have experienced as a result of their mother's substance use. For years, we have had local support for early intervention and prevention services to children ages 0 to 18 living with their mothers in our housing. This year, we are expanding these services through a grant from HHS's Administration for Children and Families to provide therapeutic interventions for children and fully integrated family therapy.
Our staff focuses on teaching children how to live in a family in recovery. We want to show them how to do regular kid things like play and go to school rather than helping to manage the home. Staff also help youth build skills for preventing use of alcohol, drugs, or violence. Amethyst's programming for children mirrors the programming for women. We emphasize giving both women and children opportunities to learn to communicate and build healthy parent-child relationships in the home.

Edison, NJ
via sears.com
This is a 1/4" wrench/ratchet/screwdriver that does its job. You can lock it so you don't have to turn the full 360 to loosen/tighten any bolts. I don't like the removable screwdriver bits that much since they are at a 90 degree angle a nd too thick for my needs but some may have a use for it.
Goldens Bridge, NY
via sears.com
It's smaller than I expected, but still great. The ratcheting flip mechanism is the same sturdy flip lever as in Craftsman ratcheting wrenches. The bit holder with standard hexagonal bits, so you can use this with your existing bit set.
Arcadia, CA
via sears.com
This tool is great for getting into tight spaces where you need a large(r) head, but even a stubby screwdriver won't fit. The ratcheting could be a bit finer, but for the price it's just what I expected.
Abingdon, VA
via sears.com
Got this little screwdriver/wrench online without seeing it, and the size is much smaller than I thought. That is not a bad thing if your trying to work with a screw in a confined space where a screwdriver will not fit. The ratchet feature is really handy, and you can get pretty good pressure against the screw with the tools offset handle.
Sandusky, OH
via sears.com
Great little Wrench , comes in Handy for tight spots .
Newark, DE
via sears.com
I originally brought this right angled ratchet srewdriver to install mud guards on my car. I need something small and at an angle to fit between the small space between my tire and wheel well. It worked perfectly and little did I know that when my wife purchase some lawn furniture, how well this tool would work in install the furniture with the allen-wrench attachments. The perfect tool.
Rowlett, TX
via sears.com
Awesome for those tight fit jobs.
Grand Canyon, AZ
via sears.com
This is a handy little ratchet for tight spots. The fact that you can reverse the drive with your thumb makes it good for adjustment if you are driving more than one fastener in a template or manifold. And it's Craftsman! this is my second one - to replace the first tool that wouldn't hold the lock anymore, but it took ten years to wear out.
Floyds Knobs, IN
OK - I know - This tool set looks like a gimmicky tool. I thought so too, the first time I saw it in the tool aisle. After a little reflection, however, I decided that in order to have my collection as complete as possible I needed to buy it. I am glad I did! Within a week after bringing the set home, I was working on my son's go-cart engine and this ratcheting screwdriver was exactly what I needed. Could I have finished the job without this tool? Probably, who could ever fault a guy for finding a new reason to buy another tool. Remember quality work requires quality tools!
Herndon, VA
This screwdriver is a lifesaver. I had to get into a really tight spot between the cabinet face and the sink to attach a door pull. I had already drilled the hole in our brand new kitchen cabinets. I don't know what I would have done if Craftsman hadn't created this tool.

I am now moving from the rental at the end of May and would like to sell the shed. I don't know the model number however all of the parts are present. Make me an offer if interested. Thanks
I need three plastic bolts and one door handle for a Thinking Outside Smart Shed. If anyone is willing to sell these, please let me know at bfplumb (at) sbcglobal (dot) net.

When the name of that song playing in the background escapes you, Shazam is the most common way to figure it out. This app has a few hundred million installs on Google Play – no big deal, or anything. A recent update has brought the updated experience that was teased at MWC to the Android app, so get your updates started.
Google has been buffing up the capabilities of the Chromecast as of late by opening up app access with the SDK, and it looks like even first-party apps are getting in on the action. The latest release of the beta version of Chrome for Android adds in Chromecast capability for YouTube videos. Theoretically, it should work for any standard HTML5 video as well. Now you don't need a laptop to cast web videos to your television.
According to Marques Brownlee, voice to text dictation is coming to the desktop version of Google Docs. Check out these screenshots allegedly showing the feature in action, below.
While Android has featured speech to text as part of the standard keyboard for several years now, the option has rather curiously not been a part of the desktop / web version of Google Docs (now Google Drive). Apparently, this is now changing.
Welcome to the roundup of the best new Android applications, games, and live wallpapers that went live in the Play Store or were spotted by us in the previous 2 weeks or so.
Looking for the previous roundup editions? Find them here.
Featured App
Puzzle Defense: Dragons
Today's roundup is presented by Puzzle Defense: Dragons from Herocraft.
You have what amounts to a tiny super computer in your pocket, and what are you doing with it? Hmm? App Habits will track which apps you're using and when so you can get the low down on exactly how you're wasting time with neat graphs. It will also use this data to surface apps you might be interested in based on the time of day.
The Google+ Android app jumped to a new version last week, and shortly after, its Play Store page updated with a change log topped by one problematic item:
Here's the thing, moderators couldn't yet. We hit up the app, searched the site, and even asked around. The feature simply wasn't live. Now it is. Moderators can pin posts to the top of a community stream regardless of if they're using the app or the website.
No one app is going to make an Android device immediately safe from any and all threats, but some can make it easier to remain ever vigilant. viaProtect may one day be such a app. This piece of software gives you a basic idea where the apps installed on your phone or tablet are sending your information. It doesn't go into specifics, but it will at least show you how much of your traffic is encrypted and some other security-related information.
Routers are complex and intimidating, but this Kickstarter project hopes to address both of these issues. The Soap smart router is an Android-based router with a touch display. Through a simple interface, owners can implement parental controls, set time limits, see what activity is taking place on a network, block ads, create black/lists, monitor network analytics, and look out for potential threads. The idea is that this will be a router that you don't need to be a techie to know how to use, and its promise has attracted enough funds to surpasses its $80k funding goal with 19 days to go.
Today Microsoft has released the Office 365 software development kit for Android. With it, the company wants to invite developers to access Office data inside their apps. The SDK provides APIs granting permission to call upon SharePoint lists and files, along with Exchange calendars, contacts, and mail. The preview is available for download straight from GitHub.
The SDK requires Android 4.0.3 or higher to run, and Microsoft has shared an introductory blog post to get you started.
Update: It looks like T-Mobile got cold feet. The support page has been reverted to its previous state, showing only the Android 4.2 update from November. Sorry, folks.
Do you use a Sony Xperia Z? Did you buy it from T-Mobile? Then check that Settings menu - according to this T-Mo support page, you're getting a taste of Jelly Bean 4.3 starting today. Of course these things tend to go out in waves, so those without patience can follow the links on T-Mobile's site and manually download and flash the new software (10.4.C.0.797) using the Sony PC Companion software.

Valparaíso is the principal port and second largest city of Chile. The city is situated on the shores of a sweeping bay and on a crescent of hills behind. Seen from the ocean, it presents a majestic panorama; a great circle of hills is backed by the snow-capped peaks of the distant Cordillera. Due to Valparaiso's convenient location along the shipping routes circling Cape Horn, the port experienced a tremendous boost when the ports and the Americas were opened to world trade.

With its 201-hp, 2.4-liter DOHC i-VTEC® 4-cylinder engine, the TSX Sport Wagon triumphantly combines high performance, light weight and fuel efficiency.
The 5-speed Sequential SportShift automatic gives you the best of both worlds by combining the convenience of precise and intuitive automatic shifting with shift-for-yourself enjoyment.
Like a stereo and its speakers, a drivetrain's capabilities go only as far as the suspension system with which it's paired. The TSX Sport Wagon is equipped with front double wishbone and rear multi-link suspensions. The double wishbone design provides superior wheel positioning and prevents damper friction during hard cornering that can result from strut designs commonly found among competitors.
Precision-crafted electric rack-and-pinion steering allows drivers to feel how the wheels are encountering the road through their fingertips.
The TSX Sport Wagon braking system features a firm pedal feel that enables the precise modulation demanded of high-performance driving.
The TSX Sport Wagon body structure enhances acceleration, braking and turning response through weight-saving measures, while improved body rigidity allows the suspension to be tuned with greater precision.
Smooth engines and a rigid body are just the beginning for creating the TSX Sport Wagon's smooth, quiet and refined ride characteristics. The following are just a few examples of the efforts to reduce noise and vibration:
When the transmission is in "Reverse," you can view various obstacles that are behind the TSX Sport Wagon and below your normal field of vision through the large, 8-inch navigation screen.
All TSX Sport Wagon models are equipped with Xenon High-Intensity Discharge (HID) low-beam headlights for greatly enhanced clarity.
The TSX Sport Wagon key remote was given a few extra convenience features beyond the usual door lock, unlock and panic button functions.
Press a button on the key fob, and the tailgate will automatically open for you. And when you're finished loading or unloading, just press the button again and it powers down and latches.
Every TSX Sport Wagon comes equipped with sumptuous, soft, perforated-leather front seats that provide the ideal balance of indulgence and support.
With its luxurious rear seats and generous rear passenger room, the TSX Sport Wagon is the epitome of comfort.
To help keep the cabin uncluttered, the TSX Sport Wagon is fitted with 13 storage spaces, in addition to several beverage holders. At least six storage spaces are within easy reach of the driver, including:
Rear passengers enjoy:
Naturally, one chooses a wagon for its cargo space, and the TSX Sport Wagon does not disappoint.
The TSX Sport Wagon's dual-zone, dual-mode automatic climate control system allows the driver and front passenger to each create their own microclimate.
On models equipped with the Technology Package, the automatic temperature control system is enhanced by a GPS-linked solar sensor10 which enables the system to compensate for the sun's position when maintaining cabin temperature.
The Bluetooth®11 HandsFreeLink® system works with many Bluetooth®-enabled cell phones to let you receive and initiate phone calls through the TSX Sport Wagon audio system without ever taking your hands off the wheel.
For more details, please visit the Acura Bluetooth HandsFreeLink minisite.
The standard TSX Sport Wagon has a powerful 360-watt, 7-speaker audio system that provides crystal clear sound throughout the cabin. The system has a variety of input sources, such as:
Other system features include:
Grammy® award-winning recording engineer and producer Elliot Scheiner helped design the Acura/ELS Surround®32 Premium 10-speaker Sound System to reproduce music the way it is heard in the recording studio. The system can play 5.1 surround sound DVD-A discs, the highest-fidelity sound medium available. Surround sound can also be extracted from any stereo digital source, thanks to Dolby®5 Pro Logic® II circuitry. In addition to all the source inputs of the standard TSX Sport Wagon audio system, features of the Acura/ELS system include:
It's easy to take your digital music library along for the ride in your TSX Sport Wagon. A USB7 connection interfaces with Apple® iPod®8 players and other USB mass storage devices, such as flash drives that contain MP3, WMA6 or AAC music files.
The Song By Voice® feature uses the Voice Recognition system to help the TSX Sport Wagon driver find music from the hard disk drive or a USB7-connected iPod®8 simply by voicing a preference.
The Acura Navigation System10, the centerpiece of the TSX Sport Wagon Technology Package, is operated by a hard drive and viewed through a full VGA, 8-inch screen, making it faster, easier to read and more useful than ever before.
The AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic™13 feature helps you steer clear of gridlock by providing continuously updated traffic information in major metropolitan areas across the 48 contiguous United States.
You can determine the weather conditions in your immediate area or anywhere you plan to be with the AcuraLink Real-Time Weather™13 system. It will even alert you if a potential weather-related issue exists along your plotted route.
To keep you up-to-date with the latest information related to your TSX Sport Wagon, this easy-to-use proprietary data network uses the SiriusXM Satellite Radio4 communications interface. Some of the features available through AcuraLink® Satellite Communication System include:
The Acura Navigation System10 has an extensive database of addresses and points of interest for a variety of handy information.
The Acura Navigation System10 will not only tell you where restaurants are and how to get to them, it can also tell you their price range and provide customer reviews.
The Voice Recognition feature that accompanies the optional Acura Navigation System10 allows you to perform the most frequently used functions of the audio, climate control, HandsFreeLink® and navigation systems without ever taking your hands off the wheel.
The TSX Sport Wagon is equipped with a sophisticated six-airbag system, which includes two front airbags and two front-side airbags, and two side curtain airbags with coverage for the front and rear outboard seats41. All five seating positions in the TSX Sport Wagon have 3-point belts and head restraints. The front seats have load-limiting tensioners and active head restraints.
The TSX Sport Wagon has several features addressing child safety, from sophisticated airbag sensors to anchors that secure child seats.
Acura utilizes Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure to enhance occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal crashes.
The disc brakes on the TSX Sport Wagon are backed up by several sophisticated electronic systems to provide you with enhanced braking abilities in almost any circumstance.
The Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®)12 system uses an array of sensors, along with ABS to reduce the dangers of oversteer or understeer.
Since an under-inflated tire impedes handling and can be a safety hazard, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) uses pressure sensors mounted in each wheel that send readings to a central electronic control unit. The system then evaluates whether the pressure is in an acceptable range.
Like every Acura model, the TSX Sport Wagon comes equipped with a security system. In the event of a break-in, the following events will occur:

New York State vehicle and traffic law states that motorists must yield to pedestrians who are crossing the street at designated crosswalks:
"When traffic-control signals are not in place or not in operation the driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way, slowing down or stopping if need be to so yield, to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within a crosswalk on the roadway upon which the vehicle is traveling."
This right-of-way is one that is frequently ignored by motorists across New York state. With the great increase of both car and pedestrian traffic in downtown Skaneateles during summer months, it is especially worth noting now.
While most people follow the crossing signals and stoplights at intersections, there are also a couple of crosswalks that don't fall at intersections on Genesee Street in Skaneateles. There is one that crosses by the pier in Clift Park and another leading from St. James Episcopal Church. At these special crosswalks, pedestrians always have the right-of-way.
Cars that are turning at a red or green light also must yield to crossing pedestrians.
Motorists should have no problem seeing these crosswalks, and should be keeping an eye out for people about to cross the street. If more drivers were in the habit of stopping to yield to pedestrians, people would probably feel more comfortable about crossing the street at these designated crosswalks and perhaps everyone would feel a little bit safer.

NFPA Journal®, May/June 2008
One of the first, and most important, decisions the first-arriving company officer faces at an incident scene is whether to initiate an offensive or defensive fire attack. Later-arriving officers will affirm or change the operational strategy as they assume command.
Firefighters use master streams on a fire at a warehouse.
March - April 2008 Defensive operations
January - February 2008 Changing from an offensive to a defensive attack
Most structure fires occur in dwellings, where firefighters rarely need more than one or two standard pre-connected lines to attack a fire. When first-arriving units encounter an early-stage fire confined to a small area, a quick attack on the fire's main body from an interior position may succeed in containing it. When units confront an advanced fire in a large, undivided area, however, larger fire streams are needed to meet rate-of-flow requirements. When it is safe to conduct an offensive attack on a larger fire, larger-diameter handheld hose streams are normally deployed. On rare occasions, master streams are brought inside a building as part of an offensive attack.
When the incident commander decides on a defensive strategy, master streams are the water application tools of choice. During defensive operations, lots of water is needed to "darken down" the fire and cover exposures. Master streams provide more water from a greater distance and require fewer personnel to operate. Handheld lines may be of value during a defensive attack at a small structure fire or protecting small exposures, but the master stream is generally the better choice in a defensive mode.
Most departments have groundbased, apparatus-mounted, and aerial master stream appliances. Each has a place in defensive operations. Ground-based master streams can be placed in locations where it is impossible to position a fire apparatus. Further, ground-based master streams cause less congestion in the fire area and can be left unattended after they are in position. However, the ground-based master stream generally requires more personnel and time to place in service than apparatus-mounted master streams.
When the fire is on an upper floor, ground- and apparatus-based master streams will have limited penetration due to the angle of deflection. But aerial master streams can reach upper floors, provided the fire is not significantly beyond the aerial device's reach. When using an aerial stream, the apparatus must be placed within its effective range.
An aerial stream can be used to apply water directly on the burning fuel through the roof of some buildings, but this has a major drawback: It can reverse vertical venting.
In offensive attacks, venting the roof over the fire channels the fire and releases heat and smoke, allowing firefighters to more effectively apply water directly on the fire. Placing a master stream into a vent opening during an offensive operation reverses vertical ventilation and can drive fire into unburned areas. Further, it can prove to be very dangerous for firefighters in the building. There are times when the roof opening is large enough that applying water from above will not reverse the venting process, but this strategy should be employed only during a defensive operation.
Master streams are a seldom-used tool in our arsenal. It is important that firefighters train to set them up and that officers understand the advantages and disadvantages of each type of appliance.

Springboro —
SPRINGBORO — General Dynamics Corp. has laid off 29 workers from its munitions plant on South Pioneer Boulevard, the company said Monday.
The defense contractor attributed the layoffs to a delay in an order for mortar fins from the U.S. Army. The 240,000-square-foot plant makes rocket motor tubes for the U.S. Army's Hydra 70-air-to-ground rockets. The plant also produces liners and cartridges for 40mm ammunition rounds and components to its 60mm-120mm mortar rounds.
"Because of an unexpected delay in the U.S. Army's 2013 order for 60mm and 81mm mortar fins, General Dynamics had to lay off 29 Springboro-operations employees today (Feb. 18)," said Karl Johnson, a spokesman for General Dynamics Armament and Technical Products. "We anticipate recalling the affected employees once the order is received."
Johnson said the company is working with state unemployment officials to determine what benefits are available to employees, who were first notified of the layoffs Thursday. Affected employees did not report to work today, he said.
General Dynamics acquired the plant in August, seeing the facility as a good fit for the company. That's still the case, Johnson said.
The acquisition was seen as a way for General Dynamics to consolidate its supply chain. The Springboro plant can perform metal forming, heat treatment, machining and coating, all under one roof. About 95 percent of the material it uses is aluminum.
"That still applies to the business," Johnson said. "We have more products than the mortar fins. The Hydra is still an important part of the business."
Johnson could not say when the Army's order for mortar fins is expected or when workers may be recalled.
Asked if further layoffs are possible due to defense cuts or automatic across-the-board "sequestration" cuts, Johnson said, "We have no plan for further layoffs."
When the company acquired the plant, it said 187 people worked there. Today, after the layoffs, the employee count stands at approximately 135. Johnson said "workload fluctuations" lowered the number of workers to about 165 before the layoffs.
This is the first round of layoffs General Dynamics has had at the facility, Johnson said.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations. The Fund's investments in real estate securities are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate. Real estate values rise and fall in response to many factors, including local, regional and national economic conditions, the demand for rental property, and interest rates. When economic growth is slowing, demand for property decreases and prices may fall. Rising interest rates, which drive up mortgage and financing costs, can affect the profitability and liquidity of properties in the real estate market. Property values may also decrease because of overbuilding, extended vacancies, increase in property taxes and operating expenses, zoning laws, environmental regulations, clean-up of and liability for environmental hazards, uninsured casualty or condemnation losses, or a general decline in neighborhood values. The Fund's investments and your investment may decline in response to declines in property values or other adverse changes to the real estate market. The performance of the real estate securities in which the Fund invests is also largely dependent on the organization, skill and capital funding of the managers and operators of the underlying real estate. In addition to the risks facing real estate securities, the Fund's investments in REITs involve unique risks. REITs may have limited financial resources, may trade less frequently and in limited volume and may be more volatile than other securities. REITs and other investment vehicles in which the Fund may invest are subject to complicated tax rules. The tax laws that apply to these investment vehicles have the potential to create negative tax consequences for the Fund, or for certain shareholders of the Fund, including, in particular, charitable remainder trusts and non-U.S. taxpayers.
1Please refer to the prospectus for additional information about cut-off times. The MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australia, Far East) Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada. The performance of the index does not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a fund, such as investment management fees. By contrast, the performance of the Fund reflects the deduction of the fund expenses, including sales charges if applicable. Total return figures assume the reinvestment of dividends. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to nonresident individual investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. An individual cannot invest directly in an index. The FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed ex US Net of Tax US Tax Stance (net of foreign withholdings taxes) is a subset of the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index, where the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index is designed to track the performance of listed real estate companies and REITS worldwide, and the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed ex US Net of Tax US Tax Stance excludes all US companies and is net of foreign withholding taxes from the perspective of a U.S. investor. All index constituents are fully free float adjusted in accordance with FTSE's index rules, to reflect the actual availability of stock in the market for public investment. Each FTSE constituent weighting is adjusted to reflect restricted shareholdings and foreign ownership to ensure an accurate representation of investable market capitalization. The performance of the index does not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a fund, such as investment management fees. By contrast, the performance of the Fund reflects the deduction of the fund expenses, including sales charges if applicable. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The performance of the Lipper International Real Estate Funds Average includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses charged by the Fund. An individual cannot invest directly in an Index. Total return assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions and reflects the deduction of any sales charges, where applicable. Performance may reflect the waiver of a portion of the Fund's advisory or administrative fees for certain periods since the inception date. If fees had not been waived, performance would have been less favorable. ©2014, American Bankers Association, CUSIP Database provided by the Standard & Poor's CUSIP Service Bureau, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
