East Rio Road in Albemarle County was closed Sunday to allow power crews access to downed electric lines.
Albemarle County spokesperson Lee Catlin originally said the road would be closed for as long as six hours, meaning it wouldn't re-open until about 4 p.m., but in a late afternoon phone call to the Newsplex, Catlin said Rio Road wouldn't re-open until at least 10 p.m. Sunday.
Catlin said the road was closed between Melbourne and the Dunlora subdivision. Residents of Dunlora were without power for hours after the storm that ended Saturday brought down electric lines in the area.

NASA statement on failed Antares launchPosted by rocketry under Daily Journals | Tags: Antares, explosion, Orbital Science |
Leave a Comment
"While NASA is disappointed that Orbital Sciences' third contracted resupply mission to the International Space Station was not successful today, we will continue to move forward toward the next attempt once we fully understand today's mishap. The crew of the International Space Station is in no danger of running out of food or other critical supplies.
Orbital has demonstrated extraordinary capabilities in its first two missions to the station earlier this year, and we know they can replicate that success. Launching rockets is an incredibly difficult undertaking, and we learn from each success and each setback. Today's launch attempt will not deter us from our work to expand our already successful capability to launch cargo from American shores to the International Space Station."
-From William Gerstenmaier, the Associate Administrator of NASA's Human Exploration and Operations.

102w, 2dBehold my triumphant return!17 comments · 278 views
All right folks, I'm back from an extended trip to the sunny state of Florida. During my vacation, I stayed away from this site, but now that I'm back, let me just say a blanket "thank you" to everyone who read, favorited, or commented on one of my stories, and a big "thank you" as well to all of my new watchers. I'm glad you enjoyed my work, and keep an eye out for future projects from yours truly!
105w, 4dI. Am. Ecstatic.8 comments · 166 views
Hello all you faithful followers! Whether you're recent additions or long-time watchers, I sincerely thank you.
Now, on to business. Two amazing things happened today on FiMFiction.net:
1. I've gone up over 200 watchers! That is an absolutely staggering number, and like I said before, I'm thankful for each and every one of you. Here's hoping that number can continue to grow in the future and that I can continue to provide you with halfway decent stories!
2. For the very first time since I began scribing clop, I've made it to the "featured" box! As of this morning, my latest piece, The Pregnant Princess and Her Loving Stallion, was featured on FiMFiction's home page! I'll admit, I let loose a squee of delight.
As you can probably imagine, I'm super-duper happy right now. Again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you all for your interest in my little stories, and I'll do my absolute best to produce more quality work in the weeks and months to come.
God bless!

In the FiMFiction.net group Clopfics, there is a folder that contains some of the best clop stories available on the site. This folder, entitled "Cream of the Clop," was recently updated by the group's founder and chief admin (respectively), ScyStorm and I'mJustAnotherBrony, after they read through a backlog of suggested fics and decided on which ones to add to the folder. Here's the updated list of fics in the Cream of the Clop folder. If you scroll down a little bit, you may see two familiar stories.
For those of you who don't feel like expending the effort, I'll sum it up for you: Where Earth and Sky Meet and The Second Time Around are now 2 of only 29 stories considered to be some of the best clop on the site! I have to say, as soon as I saw that, I gave a little squee of delight. Let me first say a massive thank you to ScyStorm and I'mJustAnotherBrony, and then another one to all of you for following me and reading my little stories. Keep an eye out for more in the future!
God bless!
115w, 6dA Note to All of You3 comments · 82 views
All right, listen up, all 140+ of you that are following me (good grief, that's staggering)!
As some of you already know, but others may not, this is not my only account on FiMFiction.net, but rather where I post all of my clop-related works. I keep them separate on purpose, so that I can refer people to my other account if they want to read my works but would rather not partake in clop fictions. On my other account, which can be found right here, there is a long story entitled The Feather of Fire which I have been unfortunately neglecting, and I wish to remedy that problem and finish the darn thing once and for all. As a result, I may not post much material on this account for a little while, though I do still plan to participate in the Sexty Minute Ponies prompts and may occasionally post them here if I feel they're good enough.
Please note: I AM NOT GOING AWAY. I'm just going to focus on completing what I started several months ago. My requests to all of you are twofold. First, I want to say thank you for all the positive feedback, and please, just be patient with me. Second, if you like my writing style for my adult works, you will probably enjoy the story, and I encourage you to check it out if you haven't already. It would mean a lot to me to see it garner additional support, maybe even get featured one of these days. Anyway, if you want to, please feel free to take a gander at my other account, and again, I thank you most sincerely for every thumbs-up, favorite, view, and comment.
God bless!

Good gracious, it appears that I've reached 100 followers!
...The heck do I do now?
I'm honestly at a loss; first of all, I never thought I would end up writing clop once I discovered MLP fanfics, and second, I couldn't have anticipated such an outpouring of positive feedback from all the wonderful people on this site. Seriously, you guys (and gals) are fantastic, and I am truly, truly grateful for each and every view, comment, fave, and watch. Each time I see a number in the notifications box, I know it means that someone else has read -- and hopefully enjoyed -- one of my little stories, and it lifts my spirits a bit more. From my very first foray into "mature" writing with One Delicious Slice of Cake to my more recent contributions to the Sexty Minute Ponies tumblr (link here), you guys have been with me every step of the way, and I can't think of a better way to express my gratitude than to simply say the five words that I mean with all my heart:
Thank you, and God bless.

P.S.: And don't worry, I plan to remain hard at work churning out more romantic stories about everyone's favorite equines.

The good: Top-notch material, as usual: Wonderful story, great clop.
The (sort of) bad: I was eating when I read this...now I don't feel so hungry...BUT THE STORY'S STILL GOOD.
Verdict: 10/10. Have a Fluttershy.
Heh, not bad at all. Made me smile, got a few good chuckles out of me, and I like the relationship between Donut Joe and "Pinks," here.
Thanks for this'n
I think my favorite part was how he kept having to make her focus. ^^
a...........seed...........filled donut.............i have offially seen it all
I cannot comment on this, as I have no idea where my feelings are going right now.
What's really terrible is that the Pinkie Pie 'Fighting is Magic' theme was playing all through my reading of this fic.
When I was in highschool I made a lot of food jokes with my best friend. One of them involved Boston Cream donuts. I told him that a bakers wife wouldn't put out or stop nagging him. The baker decided to make her a donut. Only instead of filling it with jelly he filled it with his jizz. When the baker's wife ate it she demanded that he make enough for her friends to sample and thus the Boston Cream donut came to be.
Your story brings back so much nostalgia. Anyway good job and have a Derpy.
I dunno if I can ever eat a Boston Cream again! Thanks for that Good job keepin the Pink's personality on par! As Hancock would say "Good Job"!
followed by a:
a donut filled with semen? thats disgusting
but funny at the same time!
take all my LOLs
I guess you could say that Joe...
...busted a dough-nut.
*logs on for the first time today*
*sees 48 notifications*
*cracks knuckles*
>>1273890>>1273942>>1274253>>1274413>>1274654>>1274753>>1274800>>1275827>>1276218 Thanks all!
>>1273930 Opinion.
>>1274586 Good 'n' hard. Thanks for the read!
>>1274778 Talk about your background music...lol. Well, even if your feelings are going berserk, I thank you for the read anyway.
>>1275377 That is freaking hilarious. Now I'm glad I don't like Boston Creams...
>>1276487 Very nice. Thank you, David Caruso...thank you.
Out of curiosity, did you KNOW that the 14th was Cream Filled Donut Day (at least according to the Bizarre Holidays app I have...), or was it just coincidence?
It was well written, even if it was a "Dafuq I just Read" moment the whole way through, and left some really confused feelings in my heart for donuts (not sure I can ever have a custard-filled donut ever again) it was still pretty fun to read.
>>1286847 Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it. And don't worry; unless the donut was served to you by a miniature pink equine who's married to a baker from Canterlot, the chances that it is filled with anything...unsavory are practically nil. Practically.
I really hope the windows are covered....or not, I don't really know.
I know, but my irrational half is taking no note of these logics you speak of.
And the whole "Almost" is really catching there... Oh well, It's not like can go insane-er, right?
Read this like last week, but hadn't commented or faved on grounds would do so later, when had some time. Anyway, I have to say even though never read your other story with this pairing (been meaning to) and I don't know how managed to happen, in time since I first saw your stating that have a stallion for each of the Mane 6, you've like convinced me this is probably the one straight ship with Pinkie Pie and a canon stallion that works! And for some reason, I could maybe see Pinkie doing that thing with the doughnut with Joe, if the couple was canon and off-screen, of course. Well, not much I can say, other than nice clop story and that I'd be curious to see what else you would do with this couple in the future, when you get an idea (even if might not be in same continuity as any other).
>>1313722 Thanks for the fave and review! And you should totally read Between Bakers when you get a chance; it'll shed a lot of light on how Pinkie and Joe came to be together.
Well, in all honesty, I have sort of opened it a few times and read the beginning, but I never made effort to finish for some reason. Nothing wrong with the story mind you, just me being lazy, I guess (what with the length of it, being one of, if not your current longest one-shot, as well as probably second longest story in length currently, with exception of Cadence/Armor and OC couple on honeymoon story). So yeah, I kinda recall your theory about how it started after the whole "MMMystery on the Friendship Express" episode. But I will try to, someday soon! As again, even if don't know how without reading, I've been convinced thanks to you (maybe a few of my own thoughts), it works as the one straight pairing with Pinkie/canon stallion!
Right, off the bat it started interesting enough. Not overly porno, but a bit. And can't handle more than two orgasms in an hour? Bah, lightweight xD Writing as I go, so will see how this turns out. Hope it will be neatly "balanced" however. Can kinda see where it is going from here. Semi-abrupt break, but still hoping for "it" hehe. Oh, and before I forgot, find it a slightly interesting mix to part Pinkie with Joe. And heh, almost expected him to be prude, or whatever it's called, so porn-like/stereotypical xP Kind of got a second re-assuring with his speech afterwards, semi-went against what he said before... I think heh. And when I at first thought something interesting would happen at "fill up a pie", I immediately after had second doubts, sounds too corny, But might get surprised, sure hope so heh, rather tired of the ones that just go with bland porn stuff.
Right, looking "bad" so far, but guess it can go either way from here. Could've needed some more "description" on her marehood imo, but ah well. As for the "pleasing her", can argue, seeing how he is about as much pleasing himself, not to mention just going vaginal. Then again, equines clits are internal, so they might actually be able to cum from it. But yeah, his goals were to get off himself. And as said, it's very "ponry" in the description and assumptions. I can however see Pinkie as one that actually makes sounds during sex, so to me, people can have her scream all they want hehe. All the hard and whatnot indications were somewhat boring, but they can work. And eh, 3 ain't that high. Maybe for a beginner, but one can get there quite easily. Might be a bit sore, but still.
Righto, nothing I was expecting came, or well, only what I assumed from norms and guessed, but nothing I had hoped for to be more precise. Overall, it was quite good. A tad bit generic in many ways, had some interesting parts, and was rather well written. Could as said have been a lot better, or at least a lot more interesting. Might just be me wanting more interesting and less generic stuff, but ah well. Things I'd thought been more interesting, or at least less "porny" would've been if he said he was in the mood for some pie and ate her out, and her saying something about how she loved to paint his face with her affection, or "sugar coat/glaze" it with her mare juices. Then perhaps "stuffing the pie" after that. That he got her to squirt into some pastry as well, alternatively with as well being less "ew, my own sperm I make her swallow loads off". Or my personal "favorite", having her doe the squirting thing, fill a pastry, to which they then decide that making an entire cake or something with their sexual fluids over the course of a few days, keeping the "ingredients" in the freezer/fridge in the meantime as they "prepare" it would be a good idea, and likely end with that concept/suggestion. So yeah, it wasn't bad, wasn't overly good. Rather decent imo, could've been better. Hope my random ramblings made sense and wasn't offensive.
I have ate a dount filled with horse semen before...
I still have nightmares
Hmm Good story though pinkie pie eating a semen filled doughnut? Unexpected defiantly.
>>1471026 Would you expect anything less from Pinkie Pie, the queen of random? Thanks for the read.
>>1666497 Thanks! You should check out Between Bakers if you haven't already; it gives a more detailed story of how the two of them came to be together.
...oh. It's been ages since I first read this, and I came back as I was going through old memories. It's only now that I realized that it was Donut Joe.
>>1858524 Heh, nice. I appreciate that you thought it was worthy of a re-read. Glad you enjoyed the story.
I cannot say I liked this one of yours, partially because I more prefer Joe and Mulia being romantically involved (no proper reasoning why, it just helps keep my composure in check for whatever reason). I gave it a like all the same, but won't add to my favourites let alone re-read it.
As for Between Bakers I approve that one regardless of Joe and Pinkie not being a preferred couple of mine but mainly for the lack of... we'll say "Joenuts" shall we?
>>2072293 I completely understand your lack of a fave for this one, and I'm not bitter in any way. It's definitely my most...unusual and "out there" piece, but it was worth trying something different just to see the reactions from my readers. Thanks for the read anyway, as well as the like.
Also, "Joenuts"...I don't know whether to be amused or incredibly disturbed.
>>2072323 I had to put some sort of spin(?) on it to make it easier to mention what put me off most of all. How you take to it is up to you.
I think i'm now going to write my own Pinkie/Joe fanfic. Thanks for the general idea
>>2194706 You're welcome! I hope you enjoyed this story, and I look forward to seeing yours as well.

National Sports
Cardinals can't contain Nationals
Ryan Zimmerman hit two home runs, and Joel Hanrahan added a two-run double in his first major league win as Washington pounded the St. Louis Cardinals 12-1 Saturday night, extending the Nationals' winning streak to a season-best five games.
Line to succeed Bell has formed
After Buddy Bell steps down at the end of the season, who will get the next shot at trying to manage the Kansas City Royals back to respectability?
A 2004 foot injury has hampered the veteran cornerback
It was only a routine interception during 11-on-11 drills, nothing that won't be repeated a hundred times in training camps all over the country. But it gave Ty Law, who has been struggling for three years to regain the form that made him a five-time Pro Bowler, more satisfaction than the pick he returned 47 yards for a touchdown in the Super Bowl.
Rams welcome new punter
The St. Louis Rams needed some stability at the punter position, and Donnie Jones needed a fresh start. Jones signed a five-year free-agent contract with St. Louis in April. He is expected to be the long-term answer to what has been a problem spot for the Rams.
Ejection leaves Cards in bind
Adam Kennedy had played in 1,103 major league games heading into Thursday. He had never played in the outfield, though.
Sprint Center still searching for pro team to lure to K.C.
Kansas City, Terry Nichols says, is ready once again for big-time hockey. As the general manager of a suburban ice-sport and fitness center that draws an estimated 300,000 people annually, many of them hockey players from around the world, Nichols feels uniquely qualified to cast this cowtown and its gleaming new downtown arena as a place where the National Hockey League can thrive.
Gordon boosts Kansas City in hard-to-play game
Ron Gardenhire drives over that bridge to work every day. "Obviously, a baseball game is kind of secondary around here," said the Twins' manager, who was on the Interstate 35W bridge near the Metrodome hours before the bridge collapsed Wednesday.
Rout ends Cards' streak
Ronny Paulino quieted some loud booing with a grand slam during a five-run Pittsburgh first inning, and Tony Armas won as a starter for the first time in more than 10 months to carry the Pirates past St. Louis 15-1 Wednesday night.
Edwards gets everyone's attention
A fan who yelled encouragement at a player for fighting got an earful from Kansas City coach Herm Edwards.
Rams' draft pick off to strong start
If St. Louis rookie running back Brian Leonard ever needs a favor, he knows where to turn. While finishing a stellar college career at Rutgers University, Leonard became acquainted with actor James Gandolfini, a Rutgers graduate who attends three or four games a year.
Backing Away
Buddy Bell chose family over baseball on Wednesday, resigning as manager of the last-place Kansas City Royals effective at the end of the season.
Few blockbusters, but plenty of movement at trading deadline
Royals unload Dotel, Cards acquire Piniero in baseball moves. Rangers trade away first baseman Teixeira, closer Gagne in separate deals.
Feast and famine, but Royals lose
Carlos Silva usually sleeps until 1 p.m. when he's pitching later that night, but trade-deadline anxiety had him up four hours earlier to turn on the television for updates.
Veteran receiver, 34, looks after his body
Wide receiver Isaac Bruce, a second-round pick in 1994 before the team's final season on the West Coast, heads into his 14th season coming off a very productive year.
Chiefs to pick QB: Croyle or Huard?
When it comes to developing front-line starting quarterbacks, the Kansas City Chiefs are 0-forever.
Cardinals slide past Pirates after Paulino drops two balls
The St. Louis Cardinals climbed back into the NL Central race by twice rallying from big deficits against Milwaukee last weekend. The Pittsburgh Pirates should have known better than to give them a second chance.
Bocce brotherhood
Bob Stephens, 65, and Harry Besleme, 30, both of Columbia, are playing bocce, an ancient game made popular in Italy. They meet twice a week to prepare for the Special Olympics World Games in China this fall.
Bullpen keeping Cards in race
ST. LOUIS — Players whose names don't exactly roll off the tongue are largely responsible for the St. Louis Cardinals' somewhat improbable presence in the NL Central picture.
Cards add to Brewers' slide
The Milwaukee Brewers' NL Central lead is nearly gone after another terrible week on the road.
Cardinals double up Milwaukee
Anthony Reyes ended a 12-game regular-season losing streak that began last September, helping the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-2 on Saturday night to sweep a day-night doubleheader.

Check these out, too...
Lately, my mom has been making me babysit my brothers after school and on school vacation days because she works a full time job and is a single parent. I never get to do anything with my friends on vacation. I was even unable to join the track team because I have to watch my brothers. I feel like I am a parent because I'm watching them more than my mom is.
Whenever I try to talk to my mom about it she says I'm being ungrateful and that I don't do anything around the house to help out. She has no idea how much I appreciate what she does but I just feel like I need to spend some time with my friends, too. I don't know how I can spend more social time with my friends while I'm depended on to watch my brothers. It hurts that my mom thinks I don't do anything to help her out.
This is a pretty tough sitch. Props to you for trying to be so responsible! It sounds like your mom is prob under a lot of stress working all the time and trying to provide for you and your bros. So, try to be understanding of that.
That said, I think it's super important for you to get in some time socializing with your friends. Sit your mom down again and try to talk her again. Make sure it's just the two of you in a quiet place so you can completely focus. Suggest making a sched that works for both you and her. Do it week-by-week or month-by-month. It will show her you want to help out but also that you need a little more time for you. Leave a day on the weekend or a few days during a school break free for you. Write down a few chores you can do while you watch your bros that you can do for each day of the week. At least this way, you'll be helping out but giving yourself some time to chill out and be a kid!

But now I wonder how much of our entire economic system, how many of our 2,080 work hours per year, fuel the illusion of happiness-through-consumption? If we knew what percentage, if we could easily make the choice, how many of us would work only enough hours at our jobs to pay for our basic needs? (Image: Aguarela de Vitaly Shchukin) #consumerism

Jorge Ramos Delivers Riveting Acceptance Speech At CPJ Press Freedom Awards: 'We Have To Take A Stand'
The Huffington
Jorge Ramos delivered an emotional and powerful speech Tuesday night at the 2014 Committee to Protect Journalists International Press Freedom Awards.
Ramos was the recipient of the Burton Benjamin Memorial Award, given for "lifetime achievement in defending press freedom."
Ramos, the Univision News and Fusion anchor and best-selling author, who has become one of the most respected and outspoken journalists in the United States, spoke about the importance of challenging forces of power, asking the tough questions and pushing back against press censorship worldwide.
"The best of journalism happens when we take a stand: when we question those who are in power, when we confront the politicians who abuse their authority, when we denounce an injustice," Ramos said before a packed ballroom at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City. "The best of journalism happens when we side with the victims, with the most vulnerable, with those who have no rights. The best of journalism happens when we, purposely, stop pretending that we are neutral and recognize that we have a moral obligation to tell truth to power."
"When we deal with the powerful, we have to take a stand," he went on. "I'm a reporter, I don't want to be your friend. And trust me, you don't want to be my friend."
Ramos has used his passion for journalism to take a public stance on controversial issues like immigration, press freedom and abuse of political power. He spoke in detail about his own journey as an immigrant to the U.S., where he finally found his voice.
"Let me tell what it means for me to be a journalist and to be an immigrant," he said. "This defines me. I came to the U.S. after they tried to censor me in Mexico. So this country gave me the opportunities that my country of origin couldn't give me. And, of course, when it comes to immigration, I take a stand."
Still, there is so much more that must be done to achieve justice for journalists around the world and we cannot stay silent, Ramos said. Silence, he reiterated firmly, is the enemy of journalism.
"Sadly, we stayed silent before the war in Iraq and thousands of American soldiers and tens of thousands of Iraq civilians died unnecessarily," he continued. "We have to learn from that. Silence is the worst sin in journalism. But the best is when journalism becomes a way of doing justice and speaking truth to power."
Ramos pointed to a quote by the great Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel to bring his point home: "We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim."
In closing, Ramos dedicated his award to all the journalists who have died in Syria and Mexico, including two U.S. journalists, James Foley and Steven Sotloff, earlier this year.
"You were our eyes. Now you are part of our soul," Ramos concluded.

Congress Debunks Congress's Nuttiest Benghazi Theories
The Daily Beast
The new House report is tearing apart dozens of GOP claims about the 2012 attack. From Darrell Issa's 'stand down order' to Lindsey Graham's Hillary slam, see who was discredited.
Here are five claims by current and former members of Congress about Benghazi that the report at least partially rebuts:
1. The safety of American personnel at the American consulate in Libya was undermined by a "stand down order."
The report makes clear that despite what outgoing House Oversight and Government Reform Committee chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) has insisted, there was no stand down order: "No CIA officer was told to stand down." Instead, "there were mere tactical disagreements about the speed with which the team should depart prior to securing additional security assets," and officers on the ground acted in "a timely and appropriate manner," it concludes.
2. The Obama administration ignored calls for help and committed"fatal errors and possible crimes" in its response.
Rebutting repeated claims by fringe Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX), the report finds that those on the ground in Benghazi "received all military support available…there was neither a stand down order nor a denial of air support, and no American was left behind." Further, while the report raises concerns about the process behind writing the talking points then-U.N. ambassador Susan Rice used to discuss the attack on television, the report concludes: "U.S. personnel made reasonable tactical decisions."
3. CIA agents present were polygraphed repeatedly in an effort to determine if any of them were leaking to the media.
While Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) has comparedthe Obama administration's "coverup" of Benghazi to Watergate, the committee "found no evidence that any officer was intimidated, wrongly forced to sign a nondisclosure agreement or otherwise kept from speaking to Congress or polygraphed because of their presence at Benghazi." Needless to say, the report also concludes that unlike Watergate, the "Executive Branch agencies fully cooperated with the Committee's investigation."
4. Hillary Clinton "got away with murder" with Benghazi.
Sorry, Lindsey Graham: "There was no intelligence failure prior to the attacks," the report says, there was "no specific tactical warning" of any threat to the consulate in Benghazi. Despite the South Carolina senator's claims, the committee found that while there was sufficient intelligence to discern that the security situation in Libya was deteriorating, no intelligence indicated "planning or intentions for attacks on the Benghazi facility on or about September 11, 2012."
5. Americans begged for help at Benghazi and none ever came. The only rescuers were Glenn Doherty and Tyrone Woods, two former Navy SEALs.
Rep.Michele Bachmann, (R-MN) said Doherty and Woods "defied orders and chose to go to the aid of their brothers" when no other help was forthcoming. The report makes clear that Doherty responded to the attack as a part of a team under orders from the CIA station chief in Tripoli and that others came immediately to the aid of the Americans in Benghazi. Resources were promptly diverted to rescue those under attack, the committee found. Bachmann's other claim—that the Benghazi attack might be the judgment of God—was not addressed by the report.

The 14 Teens Killed by Cops Since Michael Brown
The Daily Beast
Since Ferguson, police have killed more than a dozen teenagers, half of them black. Some did nothing more than carry a BB gun.
Tamir Rice
Tamir Rice wasn't yet a teenager when he was killed on November 22 in a Cleveland, Ohio park. The 12-year-old boy was shot by a police officer after brandishing what turned out to be a BB gun. A call made to police beforehand described Rice as "a guy with a pistol" on a swing set, but said it was "probably fake." When officers arrived at the scene, they say Rice reached for his toy, though did not point it at them, prompting a first-year policeman to fire two shots at the Rice from a short distance.
On Monday night, as the Brown indictment verdict was announced, a local councilor summed these up without getting tangling in blame and legalities:
"Perhaps, after our analysis, we learn that the police officer really did fear for his life and did everything right under the circumstances," City Councilman Jeffrey Johnson said at a meeting. "But there is something fundamentally broken in our system when a young man can have a legal BB gun, and by the end of that day be killed by a Cleveland police officer."
Cameron Tillman
On the evening of September 21, police were called to check on reports of trespassers with weapons going into an abandoned home in Terrebonne, Louisiana. Cameron Tillman, a 14-year-old boy was shot dead on the scene by a sheriff's deputy. His brother, who was there, said he was shot opening the door and was unarmed, but the police said he was armed and that a gun was recovered near his body. It was later reported that the weapon was a BB gun that appeared to be a .45-caliber pistol. The The cop was not named, but was identified as an African-American veteran of the division with no prior infractions.
VonDerrit Myers Jr.
VonDerrit Myers Jr. was shot in the head in early October not far from where Michael Brown died two months earlier. The 18-year-old was shot six or seven times in the Shaw neighborhood of St. Louis after an off-duty police officer fired at him 17 times. Police say Myers charged at the policeman, they wrestled, and then he shot at least three bullets before his gun jammed. Myers had been out on bail in a gun case, but his family claimed he was unarmed and holding only a sandwich in his hand. That night, a crowd of 300 gathered at the scene, and violence broke out: gunshots echoed and police vehicles were damaged. The officer who shot Myers was identified as Jason Flanery, a 32-year-old white patrolman.
Laquan McDonald
After a tire-puncturing spree in late October, 17-year-old Laquan McDonald wasshot dead by a police officer in Chicago. Officers reported to a call about someone breaking into cars in the Archer Heights neighborhood. The teen refused to drop his knife, according to officers, fixed them with "a 100-yard stare," and walked toward them. That's when a cop fired at McDonald, killing him.
Carey Smith-Viramontes
Few details have been revealed about the shooting of an 18-year-old girl in Long Beach, California last week. Officers were responding to a report of a missing juvenile girl, and found her in the house of Carey Smith-Viramontes. According to police, Smith-Viramontes was armed with a knife and was shot dead by an officer on the scene.
Jeffrey Holden
An 18-year-old was killed by police officers after opening fire on a cop with two guns in Kansas City in late October. Jeffrey Holden had reportedly been shooting at houses and passersby before the authorities arrived at the scene. he was listed as a missing person and had two outstanding warrants.
Qusean Whitten
Two armed robbers were killed after holding up a Dollar General Store in Columbus, Ohio in October. Eighteen-year-old Qusean Whitten had jumped from the car he was using to flee the scene and started running when police opened fire.
Miguel Benton
In early October, 19-year-old Miguel Benton managed to steal an officer's gun and shoot him twice. Two cops were transporting Benton and another inmate to jail on drug and robbery charges in Georgia when the incident occurred. Another officer shot and killed Benton.
Dillon McGee
Eighteen-year-old Dillon McGee of Jackson, Tennessee, died after being shot by police officers who claim he was attempting to run them over in a car. On September 26, officers were targeted after approaching a car, driven by McGee, and fired at the driver. McGee was the father of a one-month-old son.
Levi Weaver
A man welding a baseball bat and a kitchen knife lunged at police officers in his home in Georgia, and was fatally shot in late September. According to the sheriff, 18-year-old Levi Weaver begged the officer to shoot him, and then leapt at him. The officer shot Weaver twice.
Karen Cifuentes
A 19-year-old woman was killed in September after an undercover police watched a drug deal go down in Oklahoma City. One of the suspects got in a car driven by Karen Cifuentes and took off, apparently hitting one of the officers who fired then opened fire and killed her.
Sergio Ramos
In August, an 18-year-old was shot and killed by a Dallas police officer after a car crash in a parking lot near a Walmart store. According to police, Sergio Ramos had just robbed a killed an associate when he was confronted by an off-duty cop, reached for the gun in his shorts, and was shot multiple times.
Roshad McIntosh
Some 500 anti-police protesters took to Chicago's streets after a 19-year-old man's death at the hands of police. On August 24, Roshad McIntosh was being questioned by cops when he began running. Police say he pulled a gun on them, but his family claimed that McIntosh was kneeling on the ground with his hands in the air. Nearly a month later, his mother brought another protest to city hall, demanding answers in her son's killing.
Diana Showman
A mentally ill woman brandishing a power drill was shot dead by an officer after she called 911 and told San Jose dispatchers she had an Uzi. Diana Showman, 19, had come out of her house, ignored demands to put down the weapon, and was shot once. Showman's parents criticized the officer's response, saying that the police needed to be better equip to handle mental health issues.

The Week
Ferguson protests spread across America, Hong Kong police arrest pro-democracy leaders, and more
1. Ferguson protests spread across the U.S.
Mostly peaceful protests spread from Ferguson, Missouri, across the country on Tuesday following the announcement that a grand jury had decided not to charge Darren Wilson, a white police officer, with the August killing of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager. Americans, calling the case a symbol of racial injustice, held at least 170 separate demonstrations, blocking bridges and highways. Protesters filled New York City's Times Square, holding their hands up and chanting, "Don't shoot." [CNN]
2. Hong Kong protest leaders arrested
Hong Kong police cleared barricades from the main pro-democracy protest camp and arrested key student leaders on Wednesday. It was the second day of a crackdown on the demonstrators' three protest zones that has threatened the future of the two-month-old movement. Among the dozens arrested on Wednesday were protest leaders Joshua Wong, 18, head of the Scholarism group, and Lester Shum of the Hong Kong Federation of Students. "After the clearance operation we don't have a leader," said protester Ken Lee, 19. [The Associated Press]
3. Judges rule Arkansas and Mississippi gay marriage bans unconstitutional
Federal judges on Tuesday struck down gay marriage bans in Mississippi and Arkansas. Judges Kristine Baker in Little Rock, and Carlton Reeves in Jackson, Mississippi, ruled that the bans — both approved a decade ago — violated same-sex couples' right to the equal protection under the law guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. The decisions, coming in two conservative Southern states, marked the latest in a series of court victories for gay-marriage advocates, but both judges put their rulings on hold pending expected appeals. [Reuters]
4. Winter storm hits the East Coast as Thanksgiving travel rush begins
A powerful winter storm began dumping rain from northern Florida to Maryland early Wednesday, and was forecast to disrupt Thanksgiving travel as it pushed up the East Coast. The nor'easter could bring up to a foot of snow to some parts of the Northeast, with the heaviest snowfall expected from the Poconos to Maine. Weather Channel lead meteorologist Kevin Roth said the storm would be "nothing too much out of the ordinary" normally, but it could create chaos at airports and on highways since it's hitting on one of the busiest travel days of the year. [NBC News]
5. New EPA rules aim to reduce ozone pollution
The Obama administration is expected to release controversial regulations on ozone emissions on Wednesday. The sweeping new Environmental Protection Agency rules would lower the allowable threshold for the pollutant, which causes smog and has been linked to asthma, heart disease, and premature death, coming from power plants and factories. Environmentalists and public health advocates applauded the move. Republicans and industry officials said the rules would hurt the economy without benefiting public health. [The New York Times]
6. German politicians set a quota to get more women on corporate boards
Germany's three-party ruling coalition agreed late Tuesday to require that 30 percent of all positions on corporate boards go to women. The quota will take effect in 2016, and it will apply to at least 108 listed German companies. The accord was initially negotiated last year but Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative Christian Democrats balked at formally establishing legal quotas. Women currently hold seven percent of board seats at the 30 biggest companies in Germany's DAX blue-chip index. [Deutsche Welle]
7. Female suicide bombers kill more than 40 in Nigeria
Two teenage girls wearing belts laden with explosives blew themselves up in a Nigerian market on Tuesday, killing more than 40 others. The suicide bombings were the latest deadly attacks on civilians in a region in northern Nigeria that has been terrorized by Islamist militants. A day earlier, insurgents disguised as traders indiscriminately gunned down people at another market, and a day before that, another group of militants killed 48 fish traders near Lake Chad.

8. Health workers killed by gunmen in Pakistan
Three Pakistani women polio workers and their driver were shot and killed on Wednesday. Teams vaccinating children have been targeted frequently by Taliban militants who sometimes claim the health workers are Western spies. This was the deadliest such attack in two years. The victims were shot by two men on a motorcycle as they were on their way to meet a police escort. Polio cases have spiked to a 15-year high of 265 in Pakistan as unvaccinated children fleeing fighting near the Afghan border spread out across the country. [Reuters]
9. Cosby biographer apologizes for excluding rape allegations
Author Mark Whitaker apologized this week for not addressing sexual assault allegations against Bill Cosby in his recently published biography of the comedian, Cosby: His Life and Times. New York Times media critic David Carr wrote a column this week scolding journalists, including himself, for not being more aggressive in looking into the allegations — which Cosby's lawyer has refuted. After the column came out, Whitaker, a former journalist, tweeted that he should have dealt with the rape allegations: "If true the stories are shocking and horrible." [The Washington Post, The New York Times]
10. Astronauts test 3D printer in space
NASA's 3D printer on the International Space Station this week successfully produced the first object ever printed in orbit — a faceplate for the printer itself with the logos of NASA and Made in Space, the company that made the printer. Next astronauts will print parts and tools that will be tested back on Earth to see how they stack up against objects made by an identical printer on the ground. The idea is to manufacture parts and tools in space to save time and make the space station more self-sufficient. [CNET]

Now that the 2013 Mustang refresh has been fully revealed and will soon be in showrooms, it's time to ramp up speculation on the all-new 2015 Mustang that will be released in just two years!
Yesterday, MotorTrend released their 2015 Ford Mustang First Look, which seems to confirm many of the rumors that we've been hearing about where the new Pony Car will be going.
While it had been rumored that the 2014 Ford Mustang GT500 would be adding twin turbochargers, Autoblog has learned that this is not the case.
So, is a new, turbocharged four cylinder on the horizon for the 2015 Mustang?

A forklift truck has front and rear wheeled sections coupled by a central pivot. The wheels of the rear section are driven independently of one another. In order to prevent tire scrub when the two sections are in an extreme position in which the center of turning lies under or close to one of the driven wheels, the driving of the rear wheels controlled to stop or reverse the drive of the wheel closer to the turning point.
1. A forklift truck construction comprising:
an articulated body having a back section, a front section, and a pivot connection interconnecting said sections for enabling said front section to pivot relative to said back section, said front section including a mast having forks for elevating a load;
a pair of rear wheels mounted on said back section for rotation about a first common axis;
a pair of forward wheels mounted on said front section for rotation about a second common axis;
propulsion means including a pair of reversible independent drive motors one of which is operatively coupled to one of said rear wheels and the other of which is operatively coupled to the other of said rear wheels, said drive motors being operable to rotate said rear wheels to propel said truck in forward and rearward directions;
steering means for pivoting said front section relative to said back section to position said front section in any selected one of a number of different angular positions relative to said back section defining an associated turn angle therebetween for steering said truck;
and control means operatively coupled to said propulsion means and said steering means and responsive to changes in said turn angle for controlling rotational direction and speed of each of said rear wheels in relation to one another for steerably maneuvering said back section in relation to said front section as a function of said turn angle to supplement the steering capabilities of said steering means and thereby enhance the overall maneuverability of said truck.
2. The construction of claim 1 wherein each of said rear wheels has an associated ground contact area and said front section is movable to a maximum turn angle in which a center of turning point defined by an intersection of lines drawn through said first and second axes lies in said ground contact area of one of said rear wheels, said control means acting to stop rotation of said one rear wheel when said front section is moved to said maximum turn angle.
3. The construction of claim 1 wherein said front section is movable to a maximum turn angle in which a center of turning point defined by an intersection of lines drawn through said first and second axes lies on said second axes between said rear wheels, said control means acting to rotate said rear wheels in opposite directions when said front section is moved to said maximum turn angle.
4. The construction of claim 3 wherein said maximum turn angle is an acute angle and said center of turning point lies midway between said rear wheels.
This invention relates to narrow aisle lift trucks.
When a fork lift truck is driven in other than a straight line, the wheels nearer the centre of turning travel a smaller distance than the outer wheels.
EP 0 303 413 shows a narrow aisle lift truck having a body and a mast structure which are pivoted together about a main vertical or king pin axis. The body has wheels on a first common axis and the mast structure has feet with wheels on a second common axis. When the axes are parallel the parts are pivotally related for straight ahead, or straight back, travel. The mast has a carriage for elevation of forks which are for insertion and retraction of a load to and from the stack in which the aisle extends. Steering is effected by driving the mast structure about the king pin by any suitable means. A truck having all of these mentioned features is herein called "of the kind referred to".
A truck of this kind may, in an extreme position, have the said axes at an angle of the order of 90 deg. to one another. This can result in skidding and tire wear.
DE 1049307B shows a truck having front wheels only driven by separate motors which can be controlled individually as to direction of speed. This provides a solution to the problem of the inner and outer wheels moving differently, but because those motors act as the only steering means, there are other problems introduced.
DE 1209450B uses two hydrostatic motors, one for each driven wheel, which can run at different speeds when the truck is in curvilinear motion, but this only goes some way towards solving the problem and does not cater for the possibilities of extreme movement of the steering such as those mentioned in the foregoing paragraphs.
GB 2 167 024 shows a vibratory trench roller with four rolls, which can be controlled by so-called tank steering in which two rolls on one side are driven in the same or the opposite direction as those on the other side. However, this does not give satisfactory steering possibilities for a wheeled forklift truck.
The object of the invention is to provide improvements.
According to the invention, a forklift truck comprises a rear section having a pair of driven wheels on a common axis, a front part pivoted to the rear part about a vertical axis, said front part being provided with a pair of non-driven wheels on a second common axis and also with a mast provided with the lift forks, and steering means for turning the second part relative to the first part, a pair of separate and individually controlled drive motors, one for each rear wheel and control means arranged to vary both the speed down to zero, and direction of drive of one motor, relative to the other according to the steering angle.
As the steering angle increases, the inner wheel may be driven at a slower speed then the outer one, and then disengaged from drive. Depending upon the geometry, it may then be driven in the opposite direction to the outer wheel.
For any one truck the choice depends upon the geometry; and at any one time it depends upon the steering angle.
Preferably the two motors are under the control of circuitry (software) with an input from the steering wheel position, or from micro-switches contacted by parts of the steering gear, according to the angle of turning. The arrangement is most desirably such that in the straight line position both wheels are driven synchronously, and drive to the inside wheel--whichever one is involved according to the direction of turning--is progressively reduced as the radius of turning is reduced, down to zero, or first down to zero then reversing of the inside wheel when the steering is near or is on full lock, according to the geometry and design of the truck.
It will be appreciated that when the truck turns and goes forward to the aisle side face the outer wheel is driven forwardly and the inner wheel is stopped or reversed; when the truck is reversed to withdraw from the aisle side face and straighten up, it is the outer wheel which is reversed and the inner wheel which is stopped or driven forwardly.
The second axis wheels may be located at the end of projecting feet, and in any event the design preferably allows the load to descend to ground level. Any projection may assist with stability to prevent the truck overturning especially when in extreme positions.
The possible geometry of the truck according to the invention may be considered thus: if the centre of turning, which is the intersection of straight lines containing the respective axes of the two pairs of wheels coincides with the ground contact point of the inside driven wheel, then drive of the outside wheel alone is possible with the inside wheel effectively pivoting on the ground. But if said centre is inside the track of the driven wheels then the inner wheel must turn backwards in relation to the outer wheel if extreme tire wear and loss of control is to be prevented. However, in addition to avoiding or reducing tire wear, the arrangements according to the invention give advantages in maneuvering and maintains control of the vehicle at such times.
In said EP, the truck has an extensor mechanism for projecting the forks and load into and out of the stack at the side of the aisle. Such a mechanism requires to be particularly rigid in order to support adequate load in the fully extended position, and the effect of the extended load has to be taken into account in calculations relating to the potential stability of the truck. This places severe limits on the designer. In the present invention, the extensor mechanism can be avoided thus providing greater simplicity and rigidity in terms of mast, carriage and forks and increasing the limits of load carrying and transferring ability without incurring instability.
Such a simpler design, according to the invention, has relatively short projecting feet so as to allow for maximum movement of the load forks with the truck (instead of relative to the truck) in the direction transverse to the aisle e.g. for load insertion without coming into contact with the stack face of the aisle, and the same considerations apply in load extraction. Such short feet themselves tend to reduce truck stability, although the absence of the extensor mechanism increases stability to a greater extent. However, it is believed that the increased maneuverability and stability, together with the avoidance of the need for the load extensor retractor mechanism is a much greater advantage than the corresponding disadvantage of the need to provide control mechanism for varying wheel speed in relation to steering wheel position.
The invention is now more particularly described with reference to the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view showing a prior art vehicle maneuvering in a narrow aisle;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a truck according to the invention; and
FIGS. 3 to 5 are schematic plan views similar to FIG. 1 but showing three different trucks according to the invention.
Turning now to FIG. 1 (prior art) this shows a forklift truck provided with a pair of wheels (14, 15) located on a common axis, and carried by a front body portion or section (10) which is pivoted to a second back part or section of the truck (16) having short forwardly projecting limbs (18) carrying a pair of non-driven wheels (20) located on a second axis. The part (16) is provided with a mast carrying forks (12) to support the load (34). This truck is primarily intended to be turned to the left only, and for this purpose wheel (14) is driven and wheel (15) is freely rotatable but not driven. The truck is shown in an aisle defined between a pair of parallel aisle faces (30, 32) and it is maneuvering a load (34) for insertion into the space 36. If the load were to be inserted in the face 30, the truck would have to be driven round and positioned in the aisle facing in the opposite direction. The centre of turning of the truck is the point (40) which is the intersection of the axes of the front and rear wheels. It lies just outside the wheel base of the wheels (14, 15). This truck had certain advantages in its maneuverability but it was tiring to drive because the steering was very heavy, and inconvenient in that it always had to insert and remove loads on the lefthand side of the vehicle when travelling in a forward direction.
Turning now to FIGS. 2-5, a forklift truck constructed according to the invention comprises an articulated body having a first part or rear section (10) which carries propulsion means, for example storage batteries (B) and electric motors (M) together with the driver's seat and controls (C) for propelling the truck either in a forwardly or rearwardly direction. The weight is concentrated rearwardly as low down and widespread as possible in the interests of stability of the truck especially when carrying a load on the forks (12). In considering stability it is to be recognized that the load may be elevated by the forks on the mast (15) and the latter may be telescopically height extendable in conventional fashion. The mast may be tilted back in conventional fashion when carrying the load, and of course stability needs to be considered when the truck is on full steering lock.
The back section of the truck has a pair of coaxial driven wheels (14), the overall width (i.e. track) plus the usual clearance of which dictates the aisle width of the warehouse or store in which the truck is to be used.
The second part or front section of the truck (16) has short limbs (18) carrying the second pair of coaxial wheels (20). These may be of the same track as the wheels (14). The two parts (10, 16) are pivoted together on a main vertical king pin or like in the part shown by the reference (22). Steering means are provided for turning the part (18) relative to the part (10) when the steering wheel (24) is turned in conventional manner.
The centre of turning in FIG. 1 is shown as the point (40) which is intersection of a line drawn through the two axes of the respective wheel sets. As long as this point (40) lies outside the respective track dimensions the operation can be accomplished with the inner driven wheel merely turning at a lower speed than the outer driven wheel but in the same direction. The aisle width possible, with standard industry clearance relative to body width is shown to approximately correct scale in all of FIGS. 2-5.
FIG. 3 shows the truck of FIG. 2, but drawn to the same scale and in the same aisle location as FIG. 1. In this case, because of the invention, the truck can be used to insert and remove loads to left or right, and the disadvantages with the truck of FIG. 1 are avoided. Additionally, it will be noted that the proportions of the truck can be changed whilst working within the same set of parameters as to load, size and weight and aisle width. In particular the truck can be made wider thus increasing stability. Control means, such as circuitry (software) (P), are provided for controlling the rotational speed and direction of the rear wheels 14 in relation to the angular position of the front section 16 with respect to the back section 10 (i.e., the turn angle). The control means (P) receives input from the steering means representative of the turn angle. The control means (P) further controls the relative speed and rotation of the wheels 14 through control of the motors (M). In the case of FIG. 3, the front section 16 has been turned relative to the back section 10 to such a degree that the center of turning (42) lies in the central point of contact of the radially innermost wheel (44) with the ground. This wheel (44) is then held stationary insofar as rotation about its axis is concerned whilst the radially outermost wheel (46) may be driven forwardly for load insertion, or rearwardly during load removal. It will be understood that if inserting or removing a load from the opposite side, the centre of turning will lie under the wheel (46) and that will be the wheel which is disengaged from drive and or driven rearwardly during load insertion.
FIG. 4 goes one step further. Again keeping all other things equal the track is still wider, the stability/load possibility is increased, and the centre of turning now lies within the track, that is between the wheels (50,52). In this position inner wheel (50) is driven in the reverse direction relative to the outer wheel 64.
FIG. 5 shows a modification of the FIG. 4 arrangement when the two parts are arranged to be capable of being turned through more than 90 deg thereby forming an acute angle between the front and back sections. The centre of turning (54) can now be brought to the midpoint of the driven wheel track, so that again by driving the wheels in opposite directions but now possibly at the same speed instead of driving the inner wheel in the opposite direction at reduced speed, the load can be moved laterally of the aisle in the final part of the load insertion, or the initial part of the load removal operation.
