A horizontal vibrating multi-deck screen apparatus for separating different sizes of materials of generally the same type. The apparatus includes a first or upper screening basket and a second or lower screening basket. The upper screening basket has a feed chute at one end and a discharge chute at the opposite end. Each screening basket has at least one screen deck thereon for conveying and screening material. The two baskets are connected by a spring-type coupling system, including coil springs and fiberglass leaf springs. The two baskets together are supported by known types of support spring systems installed between the upper basket only and a base frame. Hence each basket constitutes one mass and each spring system one spring of a two-mass two-spring system. A pair of shaker motors mounted directly, one on each side, on the lower basket inputs a straight-line sinusoidal exciting force to the system. The exciting force and the spring forces are transmitted to both baskets and induce vibrations. By adjusting and controlling the masses of the baskets, the spring rates of the two spring systems and the magnitude of the exciting force, the desired vibrations will be achieved, with the operating frequency maintained near but below the upper natural frequency of the apparatus.

said exciter means being operable to effect vibratory movement of said screening baskets at a frequency of vibration near and below said natural frequency of vibration and at the same constant stroke frequency relative to each other.
8. Apparatus according to claim 7 further comprising adjusting means for adjusting said natural frequency of vibration.
This invention relates to vibrating screen apparatus for separating different sizes of materials of generally the same type, such as crushed rock and gravel, and in particular to such apparatus which employ natural frequency principles to reduce the amount of energy required to operate the apparatus and which employ shaker motors to impart straight line vibration to horizontally-oriented screen sections.
The majority of known horizontal vibrating screens employ a "brute force" method of applying the vibration to the particular screen. That is, a motor turns a drive unit which includes geared shafts with eccentric weights. This unit is attached directly to the screen or directly to a basket holding the screen. These known vibrating screens have one mass, mounted to a base by means of one set of springs, with the screen basket being the mass. While this method is effective to cause vibration and effect separation of the various sizes of components as required, it requires the input of large amounts of energy. There is need in the market for a vibrating screen which can accomplish the same amount of work using more efficient drive mechanisms.
In the 1950s, Hewitt-Robins, Inc., of Stamford, Conn., introduced a line of vibrating screens it called its "hi-G" screens. These screens have two masses and two spring mountings, and are said to require much less energy to operate. However, due to various conditions, those screens were not widely commercially successful.
This invention relates to improvements over the above apparatus and to solutions to the problems raised thereby.
The invention includes a vibrating screen apparatus for separating different sizes of materials of generally the same type. The invention calls for the apparatus to have a screen body divided into two screen baskets, a first or upper basket and a second or lower basket. The first screen basket has at least one screen deck thereon for screening the materials. The upper basket has a feed chute and a discharge chute. The lower screening basket is also provided with at least one screen deck for screening material. A coupling spring system connects the two baskets. This spring system includes a number of coil springs oriented at a predetermined angle, which angle determines the direction of vibration of the screens. The coupling system also includes at least four stacks of leaf springs mounted also between the two screen baskets, physically perpendicular to the coil springs but having spring action in the direction parallel with the coil springs. The entire two-basket assembly is mounted to a stationary base frame by means of a set of vertically arranged support springs between the upper basket and the frame. Thus the invention provides a natural frequency vibrating screen apparatus having two masses and two spring systems. The values of the masses of the screen baskets and the rates of the spring systems determine the natural frequency of the system. One embodiment of the invention includes means for adjusting the aforementioned values to vary the natural frequency. The invention also includes means mounted on the lower screen basket for causing vibratory movement of the apparatus in the direction of the coupling springs and at an operating frequency near but just below the upper natural frequency.
It is thus an object of the invention to provide a natural frequency vibrating screen apparatus having two masses and two spring systems, with its upper natural frequency near and just above the operating speed of the drive mechanism, allowing substantially reduced energy input while resulting in the same performance as single mass vibrating screens. Another object of the invention is to provide a screen apparatus as described above wherein the excitation is provided by a pair of shaker motors in place of a conventional geared eccentric drive unit for increasing the drive efficiency.
A more specific object of the invention is to provide a screen apparatus as described above wherein the upper and lower masses vibrate in directly opposite directions with unequal strokes by varying the values of the masses, the spring rates and the relationship between the upper natural and operating frequencies.
Another specific object of the invention is to provide a screen apparatus as described above wherein the exciter motors are attached to the side of the screen baskets for improved use of headroom.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent hereinafter.
FIG. 1 is a side plan view of a vibrating screen apparatus constructed according to one embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 2 is an end view of the vibrating screen apparatus shown in FIG. 1 from the discharge end thereof.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged view, partially in section, of a portion of the spring-type coupling means of the vibrating screen apparatus shown in FIG. 1.
Referring generally now to FIG. 1, a preferred embodiment of the invention calls for a vibrating screen apparatus 10, having a discharge chute 10a at one end and a feed chute 10b at its other end. The apparatus 10 includes a base member 12 at the bottom thereof, suitable for supporting the rest of the apparatus 10. An upper screening basket 14 is supported above the base 12 by mounting means 16 configured to allow vibrating motion between the upper basket and the base. A lower screening basket 18 is connected to the upper screening basket 14 by spring-type coupling means 20 designed to induce vibrating motion in the upper basket and the lower basket. Exciter means 22 are attached directly to the lower basket 18 for generating the necessary force to induce vibration in the upper and lower baskets 14 and 18.
In particular, each mounting means 16 includes a plurality of support columns 24 extending upward from and attached to or formed integrally with the base 12. Preferably there are at least two such support columns 24 at each side of the base 12 for a total of at least four such columns. Each support column 24 has permanently secured thereto, such as by welding, at least one spring support plate 26, also shown in FIG. 2, at the top of the column. At least one support spring 28, and preferably several, are positioned generally vertically upon each of the support plates 26, each retained by suitable lower spring retainers 29 (FIG. 2). The upper screening basket 14 then rests on the support springs 28 by means of one spring bracket 30 for each support column 24. Each spring bracket 30 is permanently attached to the respective side wall 14a and 14b (FIG. 2) of the upper screening basket 14 by any suitable permanent means such as welding, and extends laterally outward from the respective side of the basket. A suitable upper spring retainer 31 is positioned between each spring bracket 30 and the respective support spring 28 to hold the support spring 28 in place.
As stated above, the lower screening basket 18 is connected to the upper screening basket 14 by spring-type coupling means 20 designed to induce vibrating motion in the upper basket and the lower basket. This spring coupling means 20 includes a plurality of coil spring assemblies 38 and preferably also a plurality of leaf spring assemblies 40.
As shown in more detail in FIGS. 2 and 3, each coil spring assembly 38 includes an upper bracket 42, permanently attached to side 14a or 14b of upper screening basket 14 such as by welding. Similarly, each assembly 38 includes a lower bracket 44, permanently attached to side 18a or 18b respectively of lower screening basket 18. Both brackets 42 and 44 are shown to be of a squared-off U-shape for reinforcement purposes, each having a mounting plate 42a and 44a respectively. These mounting plates 42a and 44a are parallel to each other, aligned with each other and positioned at a predetermined angle to the horizontal, for example, 45 degrees, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3. This angle determines the direction of relative vibration or oscillation between the two baskets 14 and 18. Each bracket 42 and 44 also includes uprights 42b and 44b respectively, each approximately perpendicular to the respective mounting plate 42a and 44a.
A lower coil spring 46, preferably of steel, is positioned between each of the mounting plates 42a and 44a and held there between a lower spring retainer 48, attached to or integrally formed with lower mounting plate 44a, and the underside of a double sided spring seat 49, attached to upper mounting plate 42a. An upper coil spring 50 is positioned above the mounting plate 42a of upper bracket 42, and retained there between an upper spring retainer 52 and the top side of spring seat 49. The spring retainer 52 is held in place at the top of the spring 50 by a spring guide rod 54. Rod 54 is preferably drilled and tapped at both the top end 54a and the bottom end 54b. The upper spring retainer 52 is then preferably bolted to the top end 54a by a bolt 56. The bottom end 54b is bolted to the lower mounting plate 44a by a bolt 58, with the body of rod 54 running inside the length of the two springs 46 and 50. The amount of preloading of the springs 46 and 50 is determined by the length of the spring guide rod 54 and the length of the springs themselves.
In addition to the coil spring assemblies 38 connecting the upper basket 14 to the lower basket 18, a plurality of leaf spring stabilizer assemblies 60 also connect the baskets together. In the preferred embodiment, each of the stabilizer assemblies 60 simply includes an L-shaped bracket 62 attached to the upper basket 14, and a similar L-shaped bracket 64 attached to the lower basket 18, with one or more stabilizer bars 66 bolted or otherwise removably attached therebetween. Each bracket 62 and 64 has one flat facing the respective attached basket side wall 14a, 14b, 18a and 18b, and the other flat extending outward perpendicular to the respective side wall and parallel to the mounting plates 42a and 44a of the brackets 42 and 44 respectively. Each stabilizer bar 66 is preferably a simple, flat rectangular bar, preferably formed of a nonmetallic material such as fiberglass to better withstand the substantial vibration inherent in the application. At least four such stabilizer assemblies 60 are generally employed. While the stabilizer bars 66 of these stabilizer assemblies 60 are physically perpendicular to the coil springs 46 and 50, their spring action of course is in the direction parallel with the coil springs.
Within the upper basket 14 in the preferred embodiment, there are preferably two screening decks, a top deck 68 and a middle deck 70, as shown best in FIG. 2. Lower basket 18 then contains a bottom deck 72. Generally the top deck 68 will separate out the largest size of the materials to be separated. The middle deck 70 will be intermediate in size, and the bottom deck 72 will have the finest screen. Anything that falls through the finest screen, at deck 72, may be caught by a conveyor (not shown) and transported away by that means.
As indicated above, the apparatus 10 includes an exciter means 22 attached to the lower basket 18 for causing the lower basket to vibrate, and through the spring-type coupling means 20 for also causing the upper basket 14 to vibrate. In the preferred embodiment, the exciter means 22 includes at least two shaker motors 74, one attached to each side wall 18a and 18b of the lower basket 18. Preferably each shaker motor 74 has adjustable weights 76 attached at each end of its shaft 74a. These weights 76 are provided with the capability to be adjustably unbalanced by known means to cause vibration, when energized, at a frequency determined by the speed at which the motor is rotating. Such motors 74 are readily available from several sources including VIMARC, a Dutch brand. These shaker motors 74 are attached and controlled so as to rotate in opposite directions to each other and at the same speed, thus generating a straight-line sinusoidal force.
The thery of operation is as follows. The apparatus 10 is arranged as a two-mass, two-spring system. The masses are the screening baskets 14 and 18, while the springs are the spring-type coupling means 20 and the support springs 28. In one embodiment of the invention, the apparatus 10 is provided with means for adjusting the masses of the baskets 14 and 18, considering the type and volume of material to be separated by the apparatus 10. In particular, metal plates 78 may be removably bolted to any suitable location on each basket, such as the flat vertical surface 14d of upper basket 14 facing outward from the feed chute 10b of the apparatus and the similar surface 18d of lower basket 18. In addition, means may be provided for adjusting the spring rates of the spring-type coupling means 20 and/or the support springs 28. These rate adjusting means include the replacement of the various springs with springs having different spring rates. The purpose of the stabilizer assemblies 60 is to further tune the apparatus 10 and ensure true and correct action from the two exciter motors 74 which make up the exciter means 22 in the preferred embodiment. The number of stabilizer bars 66 in each of these stabilizer assemblies 60 may also be adjusted or changed so as to further adjust the spring rates as indicated above.
Generally, the apparatus 10 operates at a constant frequency, with each of the two screening baskets vibrating at a separate fixed stroke, and the two strokes may be but are not necessarily equal. The optimal operating frequency is a frequency about 6 to 10 percent below the natural frequency of the apparatus 10. The natural frequency of any apparatus such as apparatus 10 is defined as the frequency of free vibration of a mass-spring system. This natural frequency can be adjusted by the addition or removal of stabilizer bars 66 in stabilizer assemblies 60, the addition or removal of weights 78 to one or the other, or both, of the screening baskets 14 and 18, and by the replacement of any of the springs which constitute part of the spring-type coupling means 20 or support springs 28 with springs having different spring rates. The natural frequency is increased by the addition of stabilizer assemblies 60, the removal of weights 78, and the substituting of heavier springs for the spring-type coupling means 20 or support springs 28. It follows, then, that the natural frequency is decreased by actions opposite to those above. Assuming a natural frequency of about 970 cycles per minute, the optimal operating frequency will generally be about 900 cycles per minute. The operating frequency may be controlled and varied by any known device for controlling the motor speed of the shaker motors 74. As a consequence, the respective stroke of the screen baskets will vary as the operating speed of the shaker motors 74 changes.
This two-mass, two-spring arrangement allows the required vibration to be introduced by an exciter means 22 of much lower power than was previously required with known one-mass, one-spring arrangements. For instance, a five foot by sixteen foot triple deck screen similar to the one described above but constructed according to the one-mass, one-spring concept normally required about 25 to 30 horsepower of geared eccentric drive apparatus to drive the entire apparatus. When the apparatus 10 is constructed as described above according to the two-mass, two-spring arrangement, only about 7.6 horsepower is required to accomplish the same amount of work.
While the apparatus hereinbefore described is effectively adapted to fulfill the aforesaid objects, it is to be understood that the invention is not intended to be limited to the particular preferred embodiments of natural frequency vibrating screen herein set forth. Rather, it is to be taken as including all reasonable equivalents without departing from the scope of the appended claims.

AFRICA/NIGERIA - "Firmness and dialogue with the sympathizers to stop Boko Haram," said Cardinal-elect Onaiyekan
Rome (Agenzia Fides) - Abuja is the new capital of Nigeria, where all faiths and ethnic groups in the country are represented. In this sense it is a training ground for dialogue, said Cardinal-elect Mgr. John Olorunfemi Onaiyekan, Archbishop of Abuja at the opening of the press conference held yesterday in Rome. Mgr. Onaiyekan said he was surprised by the appointment decided by Pope Benedict XVI, because becoming "Cardinal should not be a goal of a man of the Church," but rather a commitment to work even harder to serve others.
The Archbishop of Abuja did not recoil from the questions of journalists gathered in the national headquarters of the Catholic Action, on the situation in Nigeria, and in particular on anti-Christian violence carried out by the Boko Haram group. Mgr. Onaiyekan stressed that relations between Christians and Muslims are generally good, but a group of a thousand men armed is enough to create chaos in a Country of 160-170 million people ("we do not know exactly how many we are, statistics is not our strong point," he added jokingly). The Cardinal-elect also revealed that among the victims of Boko Haram there are many Muslims (the number is probably higher than that of the Christian victims), including some religious leaders who condemned the crimes committed by the group.
"It is the State's duty to defend us. We as Christians can take security measures to protect ourselves but we will not be armed. This is not our task," said Mgr. Onaiyekan, pointing out that the attacks against churches have not emptied them: the faithful do not escape from giving testimony of faith, even under the threat of an attack. Mgr. Onaiyekan finally believes that who has to deal with Boko Haram are the police operations to arrest those who commit crimes and to establish dialogue especially with those who, though not belonging directly to the group, are sympathizers.

Felipe Massa (Portuguese pronunciation: [feˈlipi ˈmasɐ], born 25 April 1981) is a Brazilian Formula One racing driver. He finished second in the 2008 Drivers' World Championship, and is under contract to race for Scuderia Ferrari until the end of the 2012 season.
Born in São Paulo, Massa is a Brazilian whose grandfather emigrated from Cerignola, Italy.
Massa began karting when he was 8 years old, finishing fourth in his first season. He continued in national and international championships for 7 years, and in 1998 moved into Formula Chevrolet, finishing the Brazilian championship in fifth place. During the following season, he won 3 of the 10 races and claimed the championship. In 2000, he moved to Europe to compete in the Italian Formula Renault series, winning both the Italian and the European Formula Renault championships that year. He could have moved to Formula Three, but instead chose the Euro Formula 3000, where he won 6 of the 8 races and the championship. He was then offered a Formula 1 test with the Sauber team, who signed him for 2002. He also drove for Alfa Romeo in the European Touring Car Championship as a guest driver.

Body parts in Detroit sewer 'eerily similar' to previous discovery
Body parts found in a Detroit-area sewer in December came from a woman, but not the same woman whose partial remains were discovered in a nearby community's sewer line during the summer, police said Friday.
A DNA analysis of the two fleshy pieces found Dec. 20 by sewer contractors in Warren determined they belonged to a white woman, Police Commissioner Jere Green said at a news conference. However, he said, the woman's identity is not known.
"We are investigating this as a homicide until the evidence takes us in a different direction," Green said.
The gruesome find of the pieces, which measured about 4-by-4 inches and 1 1/2 inches thick, is eerily similar to the discovery of body parts last summer in Sterling Heights, The Macomb Daily of Mount Clemens reported.
On Aug. 15, 10 fleshy parts approximately the size of a softball had become snagged on a platform used by workers about 60 feet beneath the road. An autopsy determined the parts belonged to a heavy-set white woman, and some of them had portions of a tattoo.
A check of FBI databases did not yield matches for the DNA of the body parts found in the two cities, and missing persons reports also have not provided clues.
"It's an unusual case," Green said. "There is no investigative blueprint how to solve this."

"A host is someone who becomes a middle ground between everybody. The entire flow of the show goes through the host. So I am going to focus on interpersonal relationship," the 29-year-old told IANS.
He will co-host the show with Aishwarya Sakhuja, and he believes establishing a personal bond comes in more handy than skills of professional anchoring at such platforms. This will be his first attempt at hosting a reality show, however, he has earlier participated in dance-based reality show "Nach Baliye".
Ravi will be seen on the Star Plus show starting June 1.

The Onze Lieve Vrouwewal along the river Maas is part of the first fortifications of Maastricht. This city wall was built in 1229 at the same time as the Helpoort at its southern end. Walking from the Sint Servaas bridge along the riverbank to the Helpoort you have a good view of this city wall. In front of the wall is a row of old canons.
Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights. In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states. Text by Steve Smith.

|Brief Summary
Disruption of an atherosclerotic plaque is responsible for at least two-thirds of acute coronary syndrome. Thus, identification of plaques vulnerable to rupture has become important. The natural history of individual plaques is unknown and needs to be established. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) angiography is a useful noninvasive imaging modality for assessing coronary plaque characteristics. Using MDCT, the researchers prospectively investigate the relationship between the characterization of coronary plaques and cardiovascular events in a large multicenter study.

Love Founders Porter - tagging this thread for future reference! Looks great.
So many recipes...Fermenter: Surly Bender (American brown)Bottles: Wee Heavy, Rare Vos (Belgian Amber)
I'm going to have to give this a try as I'm a huge fan of Founder's Porter. Will need to do an extract version with steeped specialty grains and I'll have some washed Irish ale yeast from a stout that's currently in the Primary.
Thanks for the post! and if anyone has tried this with an Irish Ale yeast (1084) please let me know how it turned out!
Corripe Cervisiam!
Recently made this as my second brew ever. Never had a Founder's beer before, but I heard stellar reviews about them so figured I would give this a shot. I changed up a few of the ingredients based on what was available on morebeer.com. All of these ingredients can be found there. This is the recipe I used:
- 4 1/3 lbs Pilsner LME
- 4 1/2 lbs Rahr 2-Row Malt
- 1 1/4 lbs Chocolate Malt
- 1 lb German Munich Malt
- 1/2 lb Carapils Malt
- 6 oz Crystal 120L Malt
- 4 oz Black Patent Malt
- 1 oz Warrior Hops
- 1 oz Crystal Hops
- 1 oz Willamette Hops
- 1 Pack of Safale US-05
For the brew I followed the exact same instructions as the OP posted. I only used 1 packet of yeast instead of 2. Rehydrated and then pitched and it worked well. Left it in the primary for 4 weeks because I had time to kill, and by the time I bottled it was very clean and tasted AMAZING (and this was pre-carb). I have it sitting in bottles until Christmas Eve, and I have feeling based on what I've tasted pre-carb, this beer is going to be a total knockout. Thanks for the recipe JeffersonJ!

Located in the Uusimaa region of southern Finland, on the shores of the Gulf of Finland, is the city of Helsinki. The capital of Finland is roughly 80 km to the north of Talin in Estonia, 400 km to the north of Stockholm in Sweden and 300 km to the west of St Petersburg in Russia. Helsinki is widely regarded as one of the major cities in northern Europe and is the country's main hub for politics, finance, commerce and culture.
Popular visitor attractions in the city include Helsinki's largest museum, the National Museum of Finland. It contains a large collection of historical artefacts that date back to prehistoric times through to the present day. The museum's home, a neomedieval castle, is also a popular tourist attraction in its own right. The Helsinki City Museum, the Finnish National Gallery and the Design Museum are three other museums in the city that are worth visiting.
Helsinki's port, the largest in Finland and the second largest in the Nordic countries, has three harbours and 6 passenger terminals. Ferry services using the port depart to Stockholm in Sweden, Travemunde in Germany and Talin in Estonia.
The city of Tallinn is Estonia's biggest city, and capital, and has become a major centre for industry and regional politics, and is full of culture with many attractions for visitors to enjoy. The city was founded in the early 13th century lies next to the Gulf of Finland. Tallinn is home to an important seaport and offers a definite medieval character in many parts of the city, especially around its heritage listed Old Town area. With a maze of winding cobblestone alleyways, endless church spires towering into the sky, and well-preserved fortresses and turrets, Tallinn celebrates its rich heritage at every possible opportunity. The Toompea area is where many of Tallinn's most unusual landmarks reside, such as the Toompea Castle (Castrum Danorum) and also the spectacular hilltop Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, an important Orthodox building, which has at last been appreciated by the resident Estonians, who for many years resented its Russian origins. Tallinn is also home to many other landmarks including the 13th-century Town Hall (Raekoda) which is an extremely imposing building and presides over the Raekoja Plats, with its tall spire topped with an iconic bronze statue of a young boy, which guards the city and is known as 'Old Thomas'.

My companion had terminal cancer and lived with me. I took care of him in every way until the day he died. His family did not help when I asked for help. When I asked for in home care for nights so I could get some rest, it was refused. They also refused to send him to a nursing care facility. My companion had a cancer policy that the executive promised his father as well as to me that I would receive it when the insurance claim was paid for all the care that I provided to my companion. That claim will be paid to the estate so I don't think I will ever see a dime, but can I at least be awarded what in home assistance care would have charged for service if the executive had hired them to come into my home to help me at night?
You state that your campanion died but you haven't stated if you are a relative. The only way you could establish a claim would be through a creditor claim and the estate would have to be probated. Absent an agreement, a creditor claim would be difficult to prove. You need to speak to a probate attorney as you might be able to file a petition to probate your companion's estate.
You are in a very difficult, but not uncommon situation. It would be helpful if you have some evidence of the agreement that the policy would go to you, preferably something in writing. Absent that your only option is to file a creditor's claim against your companion's estate provided probate will be opened. I am sorry for your situation and wish you the best of luck.
My condolences.
You need to meet with a probate attorney and discuss your facts and what claim you would have against the estate, you need to file a creditor's claim within the one year statute of limitations.
I apologize, but I need to inquire into a personal matter. Were you a same sex couple? If so, were you registered domestic partners?
Did your companion make any promises of support?
Once an estate has been opened, you need to file a creditors claim. If the claim is accepted, that is all you need to do. If the claim is not timely accepted, i.e., within 30 days, you need to file a lawsuit against the estate.
There are other deadlines. This pamphlet from the LA County Superior Court may be helpful:
I would advise consulting with an attorney and having an attorney prepare the creditor's claim for you.

Gordon grabs 1st win of season at MartinsvilleThe Associated Press | October 28,2013AP Photo
Jeff Gordon celebrates after winning Sundays NASCAR Sprint Cup race.MARTINSVILLE, Va. Jeff Gordon pulled into the championship picture Sunday with a win at Martinsville Speedway, his first of the season.
It was Gordons eighth career win at Martinsville, but first since he swept the two races at the track in 2005. Hes tied with Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson for Martinsville victories, but both trail Richard Petty (15) and Darrell Waltrip (11) on the career list.
Most important, though, is that the victory moved Gordon from fifth to third in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
Matt Kenseth and Johnson left Martinsville tied atop the standings with three races remaining, and Gordon sits 27 points behind the leaders. Kevin Harvick is 28 points out, while Kyle Busch is 36 points behind.
Kenseth led a race-high 202 laps and was out front on the final restart with 77 laps remaining and Gordon lurking in third. Gordon stalked him for more than 50 laps, thinking to himself, What would Jimmie Johnson do, or better yet, what would Richard Petty do? before finally making the pass for the lead with 21 laps remaining.
Gordon didnt look back in snapping a 32-race losing streak dating to last years season finale at Homestead.
Matt drove a really first-class caliber race today and I didnt know if we were going to get him, but it sure was awesome when we finally did and just kind of hoped there were no cautions, Gordon said.
Kenseth finished a career-best second at Martinsville and closed the gap on Johnson, who was up four points as they came into one of Johnsons best tracks and one of Kenseths worst tracks. He had to drive from the middle of the pack to save his finish after a call not to pit midway through the race backfired, but Kenseth was still a bit disappointed not to leave with the victory.
Whenever your team puts you in front for that last run and youre out there leading, you get beat, youre always a little bit disappointed, Kenseth said. I just got beat by honestly experience and a better driver of this track. I was hesitant to change my line and do the things he was doing because what I was doing got me there. Just got too tight at the end. Wish I could do it over.
Clint Bowyer finished third, his best finish of the Chase, and moved two spots in the standings to sixth.
Defending Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski, who is not part of the Chase, was fourth.
Johnson finished fifth and braced for an epic fight for his sixth championship.
Its been a great battle with (Kenseth) and (Gordon) has really shown that he wants to be part of this deal as well, Johnson said. Its going to be a dogfight to the end the way I would like to race for a championship, and I know thats what the fans want to see, so well be digging hard.

Virgin America could go public in second half of 2014
Send this to a friend
- Eric Young
- Reporter- San Francisco Business Times
- Email | Twitter | Google+ | LinkedIn
Virgin America Inc. could go public in the third or fourth quarter of this year, its chief executive officer told a news service today.
"We think the company will be ready from an administrative and financial standpoint later this year," David Cush told Reuters. "Our thought right now is that late third quarter or sometime in the fourth quarter is probably the earliest we would be looking at going," he said, noting that market factors would affect timing.
Based in Burlingame, Virgin America had been losing money for almost every quarter since it took flight in 2007.
That changed last year when the carrier reported two consecutive profitable periods in the second and the third quarters. It is widely expected that the company will report a profitable fourth quarter of 2013, which would further increase the chances for an IPO in 2014.
In anticipation of going public, Virgin America took a number of steps starting in 2012 to change its bottom line from red to black. One major step was slowing growth by focusing primarily on routes it already served instead of spending money to enter new cities.
Another significant step was to restructure its debt, lowering the interest rate it pays each quarter. And it eliminated more than $300 million of debt by converting it to equity among investors.
Richard Branson, the British billionaire who controls Virgin Group Ltd., owns a minority stake in Virgin America. The majority of shares are controlled by private equity firm Cyrus Capital Partners of New York and a Virgin America management group that includes Cush and other board members.
Virgin America said it wants to acquire two gates at Dallas Love Field airport that American Airlines Group has agreed to sell to settle the U.S. Justice Department lawsuit seeking to block its merger with U.S. Airways, Reuters reported. American was also required to give up gates at airports in Chicago, Miami, Boston and Los Angeles under that agreement, the news service reported.

November 21, 2014
Monday marks the last day of the 2014 Nebraska State Fair, and organizers are hoping for a late push for attendees.
According to fair workers, the attendance at this year's fair have been down compared to 2013. Fair representatives report that attendance is down by as much as 4-percent.
Rain is believed to be a big factor in the lowered attendance.
Rain throughout the past week forced the cancellation of Friday, Saturday and Sunday's tractor pulls.
"The rains have simply made it impossible to use the inside track needed for the tractor pulls," said State Fair executive director Joseph McDermott.
The fair opens for it's last day on Labor Day at 8 a.m. The ticket office will remain open until 6 p.m.
Tickets for adults cost $10. Children tickets to the 2014 Nebraska State Fair cost $3 if the child is over 3-years-old.
