Hainsworth - a concise history
Two centuries in textiles
The building of a dynasty, 1783 to 1900
The Hainsworth story is the history of one of the oldest companies in the United Kingdom. The company traces is routes back to the late 18th Century when in 1783 Abimelech Hainsworth, 'Old Bim', started his clothiers business. Cloth would be woven by hand loom weavers in their cottages and collected by 'Old Bim' who would then transport it by horse and cart to Leeds Coloured Cloth Hall. The tradition in the district at the time was to produce cloth dyed in the wool before spinning and weaving.
Abimelech began his trading with just half a crown and following the sale of his first consignment of cloth brought a silver pint mug which he gradually filled with gold sovereigns. By 1800 he had saved up enough money to buy 4 acres at the bottom of the village of Farsley, Cape Mills, and in partnership with his brother Joseph gradually employed a number of handloom weavers. In diaries dating back to 1822 Abimelech was remembered as keeping half the town agate (in work) and described as an exalted person.
When Abimelech died in 1836 he was the wealthiest man in the district and left a personal estate of £12,000 and two thirds of Cape Mills. This included five acres of land, 14 cottages and a blacksmiths shop. His shares automatically passed to his three sons and three nephews but in just four years five of the partners had passed away. With none of their sons of an age to succeed their fathers it left just one partner, John snr and his son Charles to run the business and in 1856 the firm changed its name to John Hainsworth & Sons.
In 1869 along came industrialisation and a new weaving shed was opened to house the new power looms. This saw the end of the time honoured practice of handloom weaving on which the company had been built. A new era had begun.
In 1882 a second mill, Temperance Mill, was purchased and the current partners decided they would split the company with one partner taking the Cape Mills site and the younger Abimelech Hainsworth 'Young Bim', the grandson of 'Old Bim', would take over Temperance Mill.
When 'Young Bim' took over in the mill it was empty. Within 2 years the mill had been re-equipped with fifty five looms as well as scribblers, condensers and mules, for various spinning processes, pairs of stocks and eight milling machines for different finishes. In 1889 Abimelech started weaving worsted fabric and to continue expansion he bought Spring Valley next door, which forms the main part of the mill today.
The scarlet cloth for the War Office had long been an important product for Hainsworth, but at the end of the 19th century demand for bright, distinctive combat wear plummeted when the increasing use of rifles and artillery in the Boer War led to a demand for a more protective colouring for army cloth. The company had already started working with Yorkshire College to create experimental new fabric constructions and in 1899 saw the first orders for Khaki Serge, a worsted warp woollen weft fabric. Bright cloths are still used today and our famous scarlet cloth is still manufactured at Spring Valley Mills and worn by the Her Majesty the Queen's Royal Guard for ceremonial dress.
The World Wars and the great depression, 1914 to 1960
With the outbreak of war in 1914 the two mills had to adapt quickly to meet this unfortunate demand. Historically the various public services, railway companies, tramways, Post Offices etc had all had their own specialised uniform cloth, but under war time restrictions only seventeen types were allowed. There was a change of emphasis from smarter costly cloths to cheaper utilitarian Serges for battledress and narrow flannel for shirts and hospital use. During the war years the War Office ordered 66 million yards of greatcoat cloth, 17 million yards of whipcord and a massive 231 million yards of narrow flannel.
Not long after the War the depression hit and in 1920 the banks restricted loans to the Stock exchange and cloth manufacturers found they had large stocks of wool and finished goods that were becoming increasingly hard to sell within these desperate times.
There was a fall in export to countries such as the United States, Canada, Sweden, Chile, Italy, Belgium and Switzerland due the general trade depression and as many firms began to flounder and fail there was wide-spread bad debt, In 1922, to ease the financial plight, the two partners launched the firm as a limited liability partnership with a capital of £100,000.
The economic crisis was compounded with wages being greater in the British Textile industry than those of neighbouring competitors abroad, especially Germany. The Government set about easing this issue and set up an enquiry (Macmillan Enquiry) to recommended a 9.2% reduction in wages for all textile workers. The Union proposed a compromise of 6.8% but the Wool Textile Joint Industrial Council voted to implement the Macmillan recommendation. This immediately led to a bitter strike and textile companies nationally lost a large amount of business. Within a short time the spectre of bankruptcy and unemployment was becoming an all too real possibility to the trade and within a month the new Macmillan rate was reluctantly accepted. It was not until 1937 that the Joint Wages committee eventually agreed to an increase.
In 1939 World War Two broke out and once again industry was regulated by the Government. The Government's Wool Control, with its headquarters at the Ben Rydding Hydro, commandeered all wool arriving in the country and rationed the supply to manufacturers. By 1942 91% of textile output was for Government departments, a meagre 6% for export (through license) and a mere 3% for home civil use. Sales to the lucrative export markets of South America were stopped, although sales of blankets and Khaki to Russia and India were allowed.
In 1939 the company had employed 350 people and by 1944 the Government had reduced the quota of employees allowed to 200. Many of the younger workforce had been conscripted into the armed forces or munitions.
With the coming of peace in 1945 Government control gradually lessened and by 1946 free wool auctions had resumed.
Perseverance through thick and thin, 1945 to 1989
After the war the full order books were fed by continuing Government orders and exports, encouraged by a good conversion rate and 1953 saw the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II and Hainsworth were chosen to produce a special cloth in regimental colours to mark the occasion. It was just what the country, company and industry needed after so long at war – textile used in celebration.
Amidst strong growth came the night of 11 December 1955, when disaster struck the mill. Arthur Moffatt, the firm's caretaker, noticed a red glow in the low side weaving shed. He raised the alarm and ran to move his horse from the adjoining stable. Within minutes the fire had spread to the two storey spinning block and in total it was estimated that three quarters of the entire mill had been destroyed. The life's work of three generations and a fourth just starting, came crashing to the ground in just three hours.
Through disaster came the opportunity to rebuild and renew, and the company decided to move away from steam to electric power. The rebuild included a new two-storey main mill, a single-storey spinning mill, the scribbling department re-roofed and a new raw materials shed was erected.
Hainsworth's success and growth in the following years came through acquisition. The ground work for this was instigated by John, a current partner, who recommended the two mills, Temperance and Spring Valley, be combined under one management team. The greater 'whole' became known as Spring Valley Mills where the company is still located today.
The next 30 years saw huge growth and Hainsworth purchased a number of companies, introducing a wide range of new products, including:
- car headlining cloth for the likes of Jaguar, Austin and Bentley
- horse clothing and undersaddles, the manufacture of the famous Newmarket horse blankets
- snooker cloth which became a main stay of the firm, being originally sold under the trade name Toptable
- specialised industrial cloth such as biscuit cloth, a woollen baize used for conveying biscuits
- piano baize for companies like Steinway and Renner
- the world's most luxurious blanket brand, John Atkinson
- narrow fabrics including curing tapes (for wrapping around hose pipes), horse webbing and name tapes.
New machinery and technology was introduced to support the growing business and in the 4 years between 1980 and 1984 over £2 Million was invested. At the same time increased investment in research and development brought in new fabric.
Hainsworth had always embraced innovation and in 1975 the company took the decision to work with DuPont introducing the first protective Nomex® fabrics into the UK - a revolutionary step for a market used to wool, but one which was to prove very successful. This area of the business grew rapidly with the company to this day supplying fire services and military personnel around the world.
In 1968 the mill was hit by another disaster and suffered a major flood due to a violent storm. Yet another blow in the company's history - with the mill in four feet of water.
Snooker Loopy, 1989 to 1999
Hainsworth worked with Hazelgrove Superleague during the 1970's to develop the first English Pool cloth for a game that had been adapted from the American game of pool for English pubs. The game flourished and snooker and pool baize became the mainstay of the Hainsworth woollen cloth business. In 1985 18 million people watched Dennis Taylor beat Steve Davis in the World Championship final.
In 1992 Hainsworth bought the famous E J Riley snooker brand followed in 1995 by Hazelgrove Superleague and a year later, their main competitor, Premier Pool. The net result being a doubled turnover and over 500 people employed.
Having invested a great deal in this sector the late 90's saw a decline in TV audiences and with legislation brought in requiring brewers to sell off their public house estates, the pool market shrank and became increasing competitive. To combat this Hainsworth decided to consolidate its cue sports companies, much as it had done with its textile businesses years earlier, and a new factory was built to house E J Riley, Hazelgrove and Premier Pool.
Regroup and renew, 1999 to present
Globalisation had brought a lot of change and UK manufacturing had been in decline for over 50 years. 2 Non-Executive Directors were employed in 1999 to help guide the company through the next evolution.
With this came the decision to promote Thomas Hainsworth, already employed to run the protective business, to take a more senior executive role as Managing Director. Roger Hainsworth and Adam Hainsworth were promoted to the board and in 2002 Rachel Hainsworth also became a Director.
After 200 years, a fire a flood a declining UK industry Hainsworth's was now a stronger, more experienced and focused company with its eyes set firmly on the future. With one other fascinating fact – it was still owned and run by the Hainsworth family.
With the global textile market rapidly changing and UK manufacturing in decline the company had to adapt. The first job for the new board was to sort out the pool offering.
Riley Leisure Ltd (the combined snooker and pool company) had a new management team installed and in November 1999 it was sold to the Management. Hainsworth retained a small shareholding and an exclusive right to manufacture the Riley snooker and pool cloth.
During the 1990's Hainsworth had focussed its attention and investment on the cue sports side of business and, with that in decline, in 2002 invested over £1 million in new textile machinery, research and development, and marketing.
The strategy to acquire complementary textile businesses, although reduced due to a shrinking industry, did continue with the purchase of,Calder Carbonising, Joshua Briggs, Dandy and Globe Woollen.
With a now complete textile offering Hainsworth's future is now focussed on working closely with customers and suppliers to develop innovative new textile products. A strategy that has been very successful with several patents already filed and leading brands established for product like:
- Hainsworth TITAN® a unique textile technology based on DuPont's Nomex and Kevlar®
- our own Smart and Match pool cloths
- and in 2009 the introduction of its highly innovative woollen Coffins
To support this strategy Hainsworth has the ISO9001:2008 quality mark for design, development and manufacture, a UKAS accredited testing laboratory and so far has received the DuPont European Innovation award, and the Queen's Award for Enterprise in Innovation, in recognition of its credentials.
By 2009 Hainsworth had completed over 225 years of trading with a clear strategy and an unrivalled history in textiles. To celebrate this in March 2009, having undergone a brand review in 2008 and business restructure, Hainsworth relaunched with a refreshed brand image and a firm grip on the needs of an ever-changing textile industry.

Balls and strikes called from mound after ump hurt
Tuesday - 3/19/2013, 7:08pm  ET
PHOENIX (AP) -- In a throwback to Little League days, balls and strikes were called from behind the pitcher's mound for a brief period in Tuesday's exhibition between the Los Angeles Angels and Milwaukee after an umpire was injured.
Home plate Seth Buckminster was hurt with two outs in the top of first inning. Brewers starter Wily Peralta threw a pitch that hit Albert Pujols, and the ball deflected and struck Buckminster on the left arm near the wrist.
Buckminster left the game along with umpire Anthony Johnson, who changed into home-plate gear. After a brief delay, with only two umpires left on the field, play resumed for four batters with Tim McClelland calling pitches from behind the mound.
Johnson returned to the field and McClelland shifted to third base three batters into the bottom of the first.

What do the info mess mean - optimism or pessimism |
US economy continues to emit controversial signals, as the unemployment and existing homes sales went bad at the same day the index of leading indicators went good. In last few weeks the top world economy is shaking between recovery and new recession and every newly published indicator confirms this instable situation. In fact most of these indicators mean almost nothing, due to too much political intervention in calculating them, as a part of the efforts to put the crisis under control. In this mess we could see even absurd situations like having at one and the same time both employment and unemployment going down. If fact all that we see is an informational mess. That is the real mess. When
using the information weapons for combining together incompatible targets, the
politics are creating this - an information mess that leads to a full confusion
of the audience. |

NEWBURYPORT | Created in 1991 with the hope of luring tourists to the downtown and of creating a haven for the city's vast art community, the Firehouse Center for the Arts today lures thousands | from around the corner or as far away as the other side of the world| to its 195-seat theater.
From its origin as a market house built in the aftermath of the great fire of 1811 to its role as the city's central fire station for more than a century, the building remains a center of activity for the city.
But the fate of the building, revered for its architecture and prime spot on the waterfront, wasn't so clear on June 14, 1979. On that day, the fire department moved from the central station into its new location at Greenleaf and Fulton streets, leaving the historic building vacant and the city with a big decision.
Some powerful people in town, including the mayor, advocated making it part of a hotel. But others, including a passionate group of residents, felt it should be used for the community.
"We wanted to see development of the Firehouse," said Chris Welch, a member of the committee that worked to keep it open to the community. "We just didn't want it to be private commercial development."
To make it happen, residents had to sway the leaders of city government.
Courting a hotel
Hoping to find a new purpose for the historical gem when the fire department moved out, City Council formed a committee to study alternative uses for the old building. The group met eight times over the course of a month.
In its final report, the panel issued a number of suggestions: use the ground floor as a way to attract customers, add to the existing commercial base downtown, make use of the unique characteristics of the building and be open on a year-round schedule rather than seasonal. The upper floors could be used a restaurant or offices.
The council's subcommittee noted that the firehouse is "a keystone" for the successful completion of the revitalized downtown.
But Mayor Dick Sullivan had different ideas.
Sullivan hoped to lease the building to a developer so it could still own, control and collect rent and taxes on the building, but the costs of renovation would be paid by the developer. The project would complete the development of the waterfront, ensure more than 300 jobs, provide rent and taxes and include a public park, Sullivan said in a statement in August 1983.
The City Council backed the mayor's plan and agreed to lease the old central fire station to David Borden and Robert Kenney, who were hoping to build a waterfront hotel.
Angered by the decision, a small group of local officials and citizens formed what they called the Firehouse Committee with the goal of making sure that didn't happen.
The citizens wanted the right to answer the question of what should happen to the firehouse themselves. While the council and mayor believed it was within the power of Sullivan to sign the lease, the Firehouse Committee disagreed and said the public should get a say. They wanted the council to put the question before voters as a referendum in the 1983 city election, which would give the public the right to say what should happen to the firehouse. The choices in the referendum were to lease the building to a developer for the waterfront plan or to turn the firehouse into a community/cultural center.
Administration officials tried to keep the question off the ballot, but the Firehouse Committee got enough signatures on a referendum petition -- more than 1,000 -- to force a vote.
The Firehouse Committee and the city went to court to determine whether the lease was valid and whether it was subject to a referendum.
The state Supreme Judicial Court in June 1984 ruled that the lease was indeed subject to a referendum and that the City Council must either rescind it or allow it to be put to a vote. The council rescinded the lease.
With that, the two sides sat down to come to an agreement that was acceptable for both the city and the committee.
"We had won the suit and were anxious to establish that we wanted something to happen," Welch said.
When the lawsuit ended, Welch said, the project became a "cooperative venture."
"It was no longer adversarial," Welch said. "There was nothing adversarial after that point. The product turned out to be something that everybody could get behind."
Two proposals
In June 1985, two proposals were submitted to the City Council. One was offered by downtown property owner Roger Foster. The other was given by the nonprofit Society for the Development of the Arts and Humanities, a group affiliated with the Chamber of Commerce.
Accepted by the council, the society's long-range plan included putting a restaurant in the building, adding a visitors center, office space, community areas and public restrooms. A possible senior center was at first included in the plan, but ultimately, the firehouse wasn't big enough to house it. A restaurant was critical to the proposal as a way to bring in money.
"We wanted it to remain with the community," Peter Kelly, a member of the society and treasurer of the board of directors of the Firehouse Center for the Arts. "We had a vision that it could do more for the community as a cultural center, as a civic center. It was developed for the community, that's important to note. It's a place for the community."
Even with broad community support, there were obstacles to success. The restaurant was the key to financial success for the Firehouse Center, but the first eatery in the building closed abruptly and without warning after only a few months in operation. The second tenant, Ciro's Italian Ristorante, was successful for a number of years, but ran into financial trouble and was evicted in May 2003. The current dining establishment, Not Your Average Joe's, has been in the Firehouse since June 2004.
Over the years, the Firehouse has hosted several citywide events -- it's the location of the upcoming mayoral debate and has been the site of past debates and political forums.
"We stepped in, and said, 'We'd like to take it over," Kelly said. "We lived up to our commitment with the city to develop the funds to do it."
The rehabilitated Firehouse Center for the Arts opened in 1991. It offered a gallery, second-floor function room, a theater and a restaurant. Quickly, professional shows, lectures, concerts and programs began coming to the site, although the crowds that viewed them weren't always very large.
"(To have) a 30- to 40-member audience, we thought it was fantastic," Kimm Wilkinson, the box office/production manager. "To get 100 in the house ... we were so excited."
Sixteen years later, things are very different. The Firehouse's reputation has gradually grown, as has its membership -- it has 400 members.
Last year, 20,000 people came through the center's doors, said Smith, about 5,000 of them youth involved in the theater education programs of schools from Maine, Gloucester and Manchester.
With diverse programming, the theater attracts diverse audiences, said Executive Director Gregory Smith, from kids to senior citizens, but still caters to the community. He estimates that 75 to 80 percent of the audience comes from within a 20-mile radius of Newburyport.
To Smith, the group's goal of creating a cultural and community center has been met.
"I believe it has more than succeeded in that," Smith said.
The Firehouse through the years
Below is a timeline detailing the evolution of the Firehouse in Market Square:
1795 -- Lord Timothy Dexter first proposes a market house for the downtown, saying he would build it at his own expense. In September of that year, the town formed a committee that designated the land as public use
1822 -- Town Meeting votes to build a market house in the aftermath of the Newburyport fire in 1811 that devastated the downtown
1823 -- The town of Newburyport uses it as a market house
1864 -- The food stalls on the first floor are removed in order to house fire engines. The building is the fire station in Newburyport with the second floor housing groups and activities as well as social and political gatherings
1868 -- The building is used solely as a fire station
1972 -- The firehouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places
1979 -- The fire department moves into a new station on Greenleaf Street, leaving the building empty
1991 -- The Firehouse Center for the Arts opens and the rehabbed building won an award for architecture from the American Institute of Architects
2007 -- The Firehouse continues to be managed by the Society for the Development of Arts and Humanities, a nonprofit group

Pemberton's Yuki Tsubota earned a surprise silver in women's slopestyle at the season's lone winter Dew Tour stop, helping the Canadian freestyle ski team to five medals during the iON Mountain Championships at Breckenridge, Colo.
Kaya Turski took the victory in Sunday's (Dec. 16) final and Tsubota made it a one-two finish for Canada in windy and cold conditions, adding to the national halfpipe team's three-medal total from Friday (Dec. 14).
Tsubota travelled to Breckenridge as the fourth alternate. She left with one of the podium finishes needed for early Olympic qualification.
"It's kind of starting to sink in, but I can't believe it happened. I was not expecting this at all," the 19-year-old said Tuesday (Dec. 18). Tsubota qualified in fifth place on Saturday (Dec. 15) for the six-skier final.
"Just getting into the comp was a big thing. Finals were my main goal, and my coaches told me to just go have fun because I'd already achieved that."
After things wrapped up Sunday, Tsubota realized that a trip to Sochi next winter isn't far from reach.
"I guess this means there's a chance for me to make the Olympics. It feels so much closer now," she said. "Before this comp I was kind of stressing but it's really realistic for me now. I'm happy and I'm so grateful for all my support from home, I couldn't be here without them."
The result will likely reserve a place for Tsubota in Aspen for the 2013 Winter X Games, and it's a good bet that she won't be a fourth alternate for the four other Olympic-qualifying events to come this season.
Turski scored an 87.25 to run away with the final, while Tsubota's 72.25 held up for second in the blustery conditions. Australia's Anna Segal (56.75) finished third; Canadian Dara Howell placed fifth.
Tsubota opted to downgrade to a 360 on her last jump due to the weather and said that decision paid off.
"If I'd done the 540 I probably would have exploded," she said.
Tsubota and Turski can both earn an early berth for the 2014 Games in Sochi with two more high finishes in top-tier events later this season, one of which must be another podium result. The same goes for halfpipe skiers Justin Dorey, Mike Riddle and Rosalind Groenewoud after their podium finishes on Friday.
Whistler-based Dorey won the men's competition and Riddle finished third, sharing the podium with New Zealand's Byron Wells. Squamish resident Groenewoud took bronze in the women's final on Friday.
Dorey landed double corked 1260s in both directions on his winning run, earning a top score of 93.50. Riddle, who qualified in first position, scored an 88.50 with a clean opening run that included a double 12 and back-to-back 900s. Matt Margetts, the other Canadian in the final, finished ninth.
"This is the most important event for us so far as what the results mean," said Riddle, the reigning FIS world champ. "It's huge to get a podium so I'm unbelievably excited. Now I hope to build on it."
Dorey, who threw the right-side 12 to close his opening run despite not working on it much going in, said Olympic qualification stuck in the back of his mind as well.
"I usually go for broke on every run. Sometimes it works but it's a gamble," said Dorey. "I knew I needed a podium for the Olympic qualifying so I was a little more reserved. That helped me focus."
Americans Brita Sigourney (90.25) and Maddie Bowman (87.25) finished one-two in the women's final ahead of Groenewoud (84.00).
"It's nice to start with a podium," said Groenewoud. "It's our first qualifying event for the Olympics so it's a great way to start the whole qualifying season."
Keltie Hansen was the other Canadian in the women's final and she placed sixth (62.00).
In snowboarding events from Breckenridge, Saskatchewan's Mark McMorris won the men's big air and slopestyle events, while North Vancouver's Spencer O'Brien took silver in women's slopestyle.

Red Hat Releases IA-64 Linux Distribution for Developers
Research Triangle Park
United States, May 17, 2000Alpha Release of Leading Linux Platform Available for the Intel® ItaniumTMProcessor
Red Hat, Inc. (NASDAQ:RHAT), the leader in open source Internet infrastructure solutions, announced today the availability of an early release of the Red Hat source code for the forthcoming Intel Itanium processor platform targeting high-end servers and workstations. This distribution enables the development of IA-64 software for the most intensive computing environments, from high performance design automation to enterprise level databases. A free download version of the code can be obtained at ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/ia64.
"Red Hat's release of pre-production tools and software represents an important milestone in the development of the IA-64 Linux platform," said Michael Pope, Intel's Director of e-Business Solutions Marketing. "This release will enable the open source Linux community to accelerate their development of advanced server and workstation applications for Itanium processor based systems."
Intel recently announced the availability online of the Itanium Processer Microarchitecture Reference, a guide for software developers that details the functional behavior of Intel's Itanium microprocessor. This guide, together with the Red Hat code will enable developers to create programs that will be Red Hat/IA - 64 ready before the production release of the Itanium microprocessor.
"Commercial developers know that as the principle source of the GNU development tools for both IA-32 and IA-64 Linux (as well as for many proprietary operating systems), Red Hat is positioned to help developers port and optimize their applications for IA-64 Linux," said Michael Tiemann, CTO, Red Hat, Inc. "We believe this will be especially valuable to developers who want to extend their Linux-based offerings into high-end, 64-bit enterprise and technical computing markets."
This pre-production version will include the Red Hat/Cygnus compiler and tool kit. It is based on the tools and kernel developed by the IA-64 Linux Project, formerly known as the Trillian project, a group of companies that include Red Hat, Intel, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Caldera, CERN, SuSE, SGI, TurboLinux and VA Linux. The full release of Red Hat's offering will coincide with the IA-64 hardware availability from Intel.
"We continue to work closely with Red Hat, Intel and our strategic independent software vendors (ISVs) to speed development of 64-bit e-commerce solutions that are optimized on Dell systems," said Bob Van Steenberg, vice president and general manager of enterprise server products in Dell's Enterprise Systems Group.

Leaping Spider
By Robert Finch
Last night I was sitting on the couch in the living room when I noticed a small spider crawling up the sleeve of my cotton shirt. I lifted it off carefully and placed it on the tip of the metal floor lamp beside me. It stood there, motionless, on its strange new promontory for a minute, turning its head from side to side, as though to figure out where it was.
The little creature was no more than ½" long from tip to tip, and pure white, except for a lateral line of close-set scarlet eyes, like a miniature necklace looped around the front half of its head. As I watched, the spider began waving its feathery front legs in the air, feeling about into space as an insect does with its antennae.
It stood there, scrutinizing me, it seemed, with its row of ruby-red eyes. I know that most spiders have poor vision, except at close range, but I felt sure that this one was somehow very conscious of me, and its whole body seemed to bristle with awareness of the strange new universe in which I had placed it.
I began playing with the little beast like a puppy, reaching out and putting my index finger close to its outstretched forelegs. It reached out and grasped it for a frozen moment, then jerked back down the lamp stem. It regained the tip of the stem, however, and when I approached it again with my finger, it startled me by suddenly leaping at it from its perch. I drew back with a start, admiring its boldness, and then looked down, expecting to find the spider on the floor.
Instead, I found it still on the metal stem of the lamp, about three inches below its leaping place, attached by a fine silken cord to the tip. Over and over the spider did this, leaping out into space at my finger, extending a liquid silk thread or dragline behind it that hardened with incredible rapidity, so that at the end of its forward momentum it dropped in a soft arc back against the side of the lamp stand. Apparently my little white spider was one of the Salticidae, or Jumping Spiders, a family of arachnids that spin no webs, but possess good eyesight and capture their prey by leaping as much as 40 tines their own length.
The American poet Walt Whitman once wrote a poem about "a noiseless, patient spider" that stood in one place and launched filament after filament of silk into space until it caught somewhere. Whitman's spider was a symbol of the philosophical soul, static, but sending out lines of thought and speculation. My spider's behavior seemed in many ways the opposite of that. It leaped out bodily into the void, leaving behind only the thinnest of lines to guide itself back. But for all that it, too, seemed a very American spider. It was a bold, unphilosophical spider, counting on audacity, faith, and belief in itself. It was willing to fling itself out into the wide unknown against a threat of unknown character and magnitude, spinning only the most intangible and spiritual of anchors behind to guide itself back home.

INTERVIEW with Cheryl Socotch, Hydrogeologist, Division of Mineral Resources
What do you do to support sustainable development in Ohio?
I assist local watershed groups and government agencies develop restoration plans for streams and watersheds impacted by acid mine drainage, which is a result from past coal mining activities. Acid mine drainage, or AMD, is the most severe water pollution problem throughout the Appalachian coalfield regions that includes southeastern Ohio. The first photograph shows AMD emitted from an abandoned old mine entry in Carroll county.
AMD is polluted water resulting from mining or a disturbance of the earth. During the coal mining process, sulfur-bearing minerals, such as iron, pyrite, aluminum and manganese are exposed to air and water and a series of chemical reactions occur. Some of these metals give streams a noticeable reddish-orange appearance.
The second photograph shows a deep mine discharge from an abandoned mine in Coshocton County that flows directly into Wills Creek and reservoir. Aquatic life is threatened by these chemical reactions due to low pH, or acidic conditions, and by aluminum and other metals that can be toxic. Some metals coat the bottom of streambeds smothering aquatic bugs and organisms that provide food for those higher up on the food chain. Metals can coat the gills of fish causing them to choke.
I commonly sample chemical characteristics of a stream for pH, conductivity and dissolved oxygen. I also observe biological and physical characteristics. These include the number and type of species that live within the stream community, stability of the stream channel and substrate and the amount of vegetation providing shelter and shade. I use this data to establish short and long-term biological and water quality monitoring programs and to recommend effective abatement strategies to restore healthy aquatic communities.
Once a year, at Huff Run Awareness Day, I show school children this stream monitoring process. In the photo above, I am sitting on rocks that make up a limestone channel through which mine water is routed to neutralize the low pH water. I am showing students how I use pH strips and digital meters to test the pH of the water.
Mine drainage can be treated with active chemical reagents or by using passive techniques such as constructing a large trench, or ditch filled with limestone to neutralize the pH. More complicated approaches involve passing contaminated water through a series of wetland ponds, or cells, to raise the pH and allow the metals to settle before entering the stream. A wetland cells remediation project in Coshocton County is shown at right. It is used to treat problem metals discharged from an underground mine.
There are over 1,300 miles of streams in Ohio impacted from mine drainage. Although it is inspiring that records indicate restoration efforts can be successful and citizen watershed groups are becoming increasingly more involved in these efforts, we are still a long way from returning these streams to their full attainment.


text: OSHAWA -- A driver fleeing the scene of one accident suffered serious injuries when a vehicle collided with a tree early Saturday morning in Oshawa, say Durham police. A 42-year-old man was driving away from an earlier collision when his vehicle veered off the road on Oxford Street just before 3 a.m. on Nov. 24 and struck a tree, say police. The man and his passenger, a 40-year-old woman, were taken to Lakeridge Health Oshawa and the driver was later transported to a Toronto hospital. He is being treated for serious, life-threatening injuries, say police. The woman suffered a broken leg, add authorities. Investigators believe alcohol was a factor in the collision, say police. Anyone with information about this incident can call Constable Alan Ouellette at 905-579-1520, extension 5272.

Whether a hazard becomes a disaster or not depends ultimately on people's vulnerability (Cutter 2006), that is, their ability to prevent, mitigate, cope with, and recover from the impact of a disruptive event. |
The determinants of vulnerability include people's demographic, social and economic characteristics, and their relationship with the natural and manmade environment. Risk is a product of the interaction between human decisions and ecosystem. Understanding risk entails analyzing historic processes of human evolution and environmental change (Holzmann 2000). It entails, for example, identifying how the construction of Mexico City over a drained lakebed resulted in an urban center highly vulnerable to seismic risk. Alternatively, how inefficient decisions in terms of land use puts up informal settlements on steep hills that led to deforestation with the consequent increase of the impact of hurricanes, such as Mitch in Central America; or high-end residences built at the skirts of mountains in California that become highly vulnerable to forest wildfires (Smith, There's No Such Thing as a Natural Disaster 2006). Lastly, it entails understanding how migration combined with lack of planning burden the infrastructure and capacity to respond of fast-growing cities, like Mumbai and Lagos, and create belts of poverty in the form of slums vulnerable to a mounting number of individual and covariant risks (Hoppe 2006). |

Lebanon Struggles With Influx Of Syrian Refugees
The United Nations now says some 5,000 Syrians are leaving the country every day, headed for any neighboring country that will take them. Up until now, the tiny country of Lebanon has hosted the highest number of Syrian refugees. Lebanon has its own history of problems related to large numbers of refugees, so now the country is forbidding the construction of formal refugee camps.

Great reports and details, Roger.
I've been encouraging some of the Blu Baby builders that want to move on to ailerons to start building flat wings for that. There is a long standing mortal terror about flat wings and the lack of dihedral that I think can be discarded with the KFm wings. At least that is my experience. Flat KFm wings do not require the full time attention that some suspect they will. It is almost like they are inherently stable or something. And building flat gets you stronger wings and takes you away from all of the issues of trying to get good aileron performance from a wing that wants to be inherently stable. You can skip a lot of the differential experiments as you pursue rolls. If you do more videos, and want to do it, treat us to some roll rate experiments. You'll probably find that it will get more axial as the speed increases but I'll bet they won't be bad at all from what I saw there in the video. And then there is the thing where an inverted KFm2 or KFm3 seems to need very little assistance from the elevator to stay in inverted flight. I think that explains why the KFm1 seemed to fly just about as well as the KFm2. I'll bet if you start experimenting more with coordinating rudder and ailerons in turns you're going to see some amazing things there too. The low wing loses much less lift in the turn and, at least for me, the flying characteristics take on a majestic quality. Some of the yankers and bankers don't get it but that is OK. And to me there is nothing prettier than the long gliding, flat but all crossed up, crosswind approaches you can get with coordinated controls. Jack |

Here is a video I just made of the most recent flight of the KF SE5a. It doesn't really belong here, but we were discussing it's handling qualities, so I thought I'd let you see how it flies. Please note that I'm an old stick and rudder guy. My aerobatics was 25 years ago, and mostly in Citabrias and Decathlons. I mostly fly R/C sailplanes now. Flying R/C aerobatics is new to me, and it shows.
The video is silent. I stripped off the music for YouTube. Too bad it flows much better with the Bare Naked Ladies singing "One little Slip" and Robin Williams singing "My Way" in Spanish. Roger

Dick, are you still interested in pursuing the variable wing step idea? Perhaps we can get with Bruce and discuss some of the factors involved in deciding the step depth/position, then work out the actuators and control electronics. I imagine that Bruce is in a much better position to build flying prototypes than I am (totally broke and with clients who still owe me money). I can work out control and positioning algorythms, processing facilities, and software. Coordinated multi-axis motion control is a major part of the work I do.

Yes, that does sound like an interesting proposition! I'll need to look into the FDR's capabilities, and learn how to put it to use effectively. It would be very interesting in doing this. I do have a very nice wide-open flying venue available, my 'Antelope Flats' site, which is within four miles of my house. It makes it possible to get out for a test flight without a lot of travel time, and the wind / weather conditions are very predictable before I ever leave home. Bruce |

Can't make drawing right now, but I'll try to describe my idea of variable step mechanism (I can't remember original author of variable step height, It was here on RCG some time ago.)
Hotwired solid foam wing core with rather deep step, maybe 50%. Area from step to TE/aileron would be covered with depron strip, hinged on TE. Servo arm (or some clever linkage) placed under the depron strip "LE" at wing root, to raise it up/down, changing step height. LE of depron cover strip should be reinforced with CF or wood, so it won't bend. It would be fixed at wing tip, to prevent flutter and to get step height taper. Makes any sense? |

Desert Trails Elementary School to offer branded mCards starting in 2014
PHOENIX, Dec. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- New Media Insight Group, Inc. ("New Media" or "the Company") (OTCBB: NMED), a leader in mobile payments, announced today that the Desert Trails Elementary School Parent Teacher Organization ("PTO") has agreed to use branded mCards to raise funds for school activities starting in 2014. The Phoenix, Arizona-based school will receive 1.5% of purchases made with the branded mCards in addition to any donations made from selected merchants who accept the mobile payment solution.
New Media Insight Group estimates that the Desert Trails Elementary School PTO could generate an additional $20,000 per year for the school through the use of mCards. Transaction data can be collected and analyzed from mCards, which will allow the Desert Trails Elementary School PTO (and any other non-profit organization) to track donation programs and customize them to maximize their potential benefits.
mCards are one of the only mobile payment solutions on the market today that do not require specialized hardware. Any merchant who accepts MasterCard can accept payment from a mCard with a simple sign-up process. Similar to a branded physical credit card, mCards will be emblazoned with the logo of the organization they support.
"Every school in the United States faces challenges with growing their fundraising programs and finding new sources of revenue," said Michael Palethrope, CEO of New Media Insight Group. "mCards address these issues, allowing supporters to donate just by making everyday purchases while also helping local merchants by creating loyalty programs that drive repeat customers."
Any school or non-profit can easily set up mCards to help raise additional funds. For more information, please visit: http://newmediainsights.com/for-non-profits.html.
About New Media Insight Group
New Media Insight Group (OTCBB: NMED) is an innovative mobile payments company. New Media Insight recently launched mCards, a system that allows merchants to accept mobile payments without any additional hardware other than an existing terminal that takes MasterCard. New Media Insight is employing a grassroots strategy to increase mCards adoption, focusing its efforts on building alliances with non-profits that already have strong relationships with merchants.

Abstract: We report the novel photoresponse of nanodevices made from azafullerene (C59N)-encapsulated single-walled carbon nanotubes (C59N@SWNTs), so called peapods. The photoconducting properties of a C59N@SWNT are measured over a temperature range of 10 to 300 K under a field-effect transistor configuration. It is found that the photosensitivity of C59N@SWNTs depends very sensitively on the temperature, making them an attractive candidate as a component of nanothermometers covering a wide temperature range. Our results indicate that it is possible to read the temperature by monitoring the optoelectronics signal of C59N@SWNTs. In particular, sensing low temperatures would become more convenient and easy by giving a simple light pulse.

UPDATE 2-Constellation profit tops views, driven by Modelo purchase
Oct 3 (Reuters) - Constellation Brands Inc, the world's biggest branded wine maker, reported higher quarterly earnings on Thursday thanks to the recent acquisition of Grupo Modelo's U.S. beer business, beating Wall Street's estimates and sending the company's shares up.
Constellation, with labels such as Robert Mondavi and Ravenswood, also raised its full-year outlook, crediting lower-than-expected taxes.
"The acquisition has been a real game changer for the company and they now have outright control of Corona in U.S. as well as its production capabilities and the Mexican brewery that came with the deal," said Tom Mullarkey, an analyst at Morningstar.
"In a market where a lot of mainstream beers like Miller are struggling to break even or declining in volume in the U.S., (Constellation's) beer did good - volume was up 1 percent and sales were up 3.3 percent," Mullarkey said.
For the full year, Constellation now expects earnings of $2.80 to $3.10 per share, excluding items, up from a prior forecast of $2.60 to $2.90.
Net income for the fiscal second quarter ended Aug. 31 was $1.52 billion, or $7.74 per share, compared with $124.6 million, or 71 cents per share, a year earlier, prior to the acquisition.
Excluding one-time items, earnings were 96 cents per share. Analysts were expecting earnings of 88 cents per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Sales rose to $1.46 billion from $698.5 million a year earlier, driven by the company's new ownership of Crown Imports, which distributes Modelo and other beers in the United States, including Corona Extra, the No. 1 imported beer.
Shares of Constellation rose 1.3 percent to $58.98.
Constellation Brands completed its acquisition of Grupo Modelo's U.S. beer business from Anheuser-Busch InBev for approximately $4.75 billion on June 7.

How Santorum Became the GOP's Rocky Balboa
By John Dickerson, SlateI am my campaign. That was Rick Santorum's message at the Dayton Christian School in Miamisburg, Ohio, the day before Super Tuesday. The former Pennsylvania senator recounted how pundits had sniffed at him and how he'd been down in the polls for so long. But he slogged on, as he does today, even though he says he's being outspent 12-to-1 in this key battleground state. Only someone who could muscle through so much adversity can beat Barack Obama, he tells the crowds.

Candidates Hammer Obama Over Iran, but Approaches Differ Little
By Helene Cooper, New York TimesTo rein in Tehran's nuclear ambitions, Mitt Romney says he would conduct naval exercises in the Persian Gulf to remind Iran of American military might. He would try to ratchet up Security Council sanctions on Iran, targeting its Revolutionary Guards, and the country's central bank and other financial institutions. And if Russia and China do not go along, he says, the United States should team up with other willing governments to put such punitive measures in place.

Santorum and Romney Court Blue-Collar Voters in Ohio
By Jeff Zeleny and Jim Rutenberg, New York TimesIf Mitt Romney defeats Rick Santorum in the bellwether primary here on Tuesday, it will be in no small part because he managed to win over one of the most hotly contested and elusive segments of the electorate: white working-class voters. At a metal works in Canton and a welding factory in Youngstown, in mailboxes and on the radio, Mr. Romney's intense focus on these Republican-leaning voters was in evidence on Monday as he made his closing appeal in Ohio — if not as an everyman, then at least as a chief executive who knows how to generate blue-collar jobs and get factories running again.

Israel's Brinkmanship, America's Peril
By Doyle McManus, Los Angeles TimesLast week, Gen. Norton A. Schwartz, chief of staff of the U.S. Air Force, confirmed a no-longer-surprising fact: the Pentagon has sent the White House a menu of options for going to war with Iran. But that doesn't mean the military thinks bombing Iran would be a good idea. "It's not prudent at this point to decide to attack Iran," Schwartz's boss, Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said on CNN last month, adding that his advice applied to Israel as well as the United States. "A strike at this time would be destabilizing and wouldn't achieve their objectives," Dempsey said.
