A continuous motion ribbon imprinter moves with and marks a moving web on a packaging machine and has an easily set control adjusting step-by-step advance of the ribbon across the type block to accommodate wide variations in the size of the printed indicia so as to always present just enough length of fresh ribbon to cover the type for the next imprint. A frame mounting the type block and ribbon reels swings in either a clockwise or counterclockwise orbital path having a dwell stroke on the moving web, and a lift stroke spacing the ribbon from the web. The ribbon remains stationary on the type block during the dwell stroke and is advanced across the type block on the lift stroke. A single input shaft drives the frame through its orbital path and also drives the mechanism for unwinding the fresh ribbon from one reel and winding the spent ribbon on a second reel. The control includes an adjustable cross head driving a link which in turn drives a feed roll mechanism through a one way clutch pulling the needed length of ribbon from the unwinding reel during the lift stroke. The winding reel is driven through a slip mechanism which maintains the ribbon under tension and winds the spent ribbon on the winding reel as it is pulled step-by-step by the feed roll mechanism.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to imprinters for packaging machines and the like and particularly deals with a control driven by a continuous motion ribbon imprinter which is easily set to supply just enough length of fresh ribbon to cover the type without wasting unused ribbon increments between imprints.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Heretofore ribbon imprinters capable of handling printing blocks of variable sizes have been intermittently operated with controlled ribbon advancement occurring only during stationary periods. Continuous motion ribbon imprinters have not been able to accommodate wide variations in sizes of printing blocks without complicated change-over ribbon drives for each block size.
It would therefore be an advance in the art to provide continuous motion ribbon imprinters accommodating a wide range of printing block sizes and having an easily adjusted control to supply just the right increment length to the selected printing block for each imprint.
Continuous motion ribbon imprinters are now provided with variable ribbon feeds driven from the power input of the imprinter. These ribbon feeds or drives swing with the imprinter frame through an orbital path and pull selected length increments of pigmented ribbon or tape from an unwinding roll during the backward lift stroke of the orbiting frame to cover just the type or imprint area of the printing block with enough fresh tape to insure a good type imprint during the dwell stroke when the ribbon and printing block advance with the moving web being printed. The feed drive is easily set so that no unused tape length increments will occur.
A feature of the invention includes the continuous driving of the ribbon feed from the power input to the imprinter and the selective use of the continuous drive to intermittently advance just enough ribbon length between imprints to supply the printing area of the type block. No change-over parts are needed since the ribbon advances just enough to meet the requirements of many different sizes of printing area. Thus the imprinter accommodates printing blocks with widely variable printing areas without wasting imprint ribbon betweem imprints.
An object of the invention, therefore, is to provide continuous motion ribbon imprinters with ribbon drives that are easily set to accommodate printing blocks with widely variable printing areas without wasting ribbon between imprints.
A further object of the invention is to provide a ribbon feed on a continuous motion ribbon imprinter which swings through an orbital path with the imprinter and selectively advances just enough ribbon length over the printing block to cover the printing area thereof with fresh ribbon between imprints.
A specific object of the invention is to provide a continuous motion ribbon imprinter with a rotary drive driven from the power imput of the imprinter and in turn driving a link through a selectively positioned cross head to drive a one way clutch feed roll mechanism to pull selected increments of pigmented ribbon from an unwinding reel.
Another specific object of the invention is to provide a continuous motion ribbon imprinter supplying pigmented ribbon over the face of the printing block from an unwinding reel and winding spent ribbon on a winding reel driven from the power imput of the imprinter and quickly and easily adjusted to vary the feed increment of the ribbon as required by variations in the printing areas of type blocks mounted on the imprinter.
Other and further objects of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in this art from the following detailed description of the annexed sheets of drawings which, by way of a preferred example only illustrate one embodiment of this invention.

FIG. 8 is a view similar to FIG. 7 but showing ribbon increment advancement for a larger print area.
FIGS. 9 and 10 are diagrammatic perspective views of the feed roll drive showing how it will pull the ribbon in the same direction for both clockwise and counterclockwise orbiting imprinters.
In FIGS. 1 to 4, the continuous motion ribbon imprinter 10 of this invention is illustrated as being mounted upright on a packaging machine 11 to extend transversely across the horizontal run of a web 12 on the packaging machine to imprint indicia on the web 12 at selected successive areas of the web as it moves through the machine. The packaging machine is only exemplary illustrated since the imprinter of this invention is useful on moving web type packing machines in general.
The imprinter 10 has a mounting rack with a pair of transversely spaced upright frame side columns 13, 13 which can be attached in any suitable manner to the frame of the packaging machine 11. The top ends of the side columns 13, 13 support a rod 14 spanning the space between the columns and threaded to be clamped to the columns by nuts 15. A frame plate 16 is mounted upright between the columns 13, 13 and receives the rod 14 freely therethrough.
The plate 16 projects above the rod 14 and carries at its upper end an electrical junction box 17 with an on-off switch 18 and an indicator light 19 (FIG. 2) for a purpose hereinafter to be more fully described. Immediately below the junction box 17 the frame plate 16 carries a bushing block 20 to slideably support the rod 14 and also mounting the threaded stem 21 of a hand wheel or knob 22 which can be rotated to press the end of the stem against the rod 14 thereby locking the plate in fixed adjusted position on the rod.
A drive shaft 23 spans the space between the columns 13, 13 in spaced relation below the rod 14 and is rotatably mounted in bearings 24, 24 carried by the columns. The drive shaft is driven from a sprocket 25 (FIG. 1) which in turn is driven from a sprocket chain 26 connected to a drive sprocket on the packaging machine 12 (not shown). This drive shaft 23 has a keyway 27 along the length thereof. A bushing 28 on the plate slideably rides on the drive shaft and a gear 29 alongside the bushing is keyed to the shaft by a key 30 fitting the keyway 27 (FIG. 3). This gear 29 is bolted to a disk 31 held against the bushing 28 as will be more fully hereinafter described. The bushing 28 is lubricated from a bearing block 32.
The lower end of the plate 16 carries a pair of bushings 33 and 34 rotatably supporting shafts 35 and 36 on which are mounted gears 37 and 38 driven by the gear 29. The gear 37 is keyed to its shaft by a key 39 while the gear 38 is clamped to its shaft 36 by a clamp block 40 permitting easy setting of the shaft position in the gear. The shafts 35 and 36 are journaled in the bushings 33 and 34 so that they will move with the plate 16 and the disk 31 bolted to the gear 29 in abutting the back faces of these gears 37 and 38 will move with the gears as the plate 16 is shifted across the space between the columns 13,13. Bearing blocks 41 similar to the block 32 lubricate the bushings 33 and 34.
As shown in FIG. 5, the shafts 35 and 36 driven by the gears 37 and 38 have crank arms 35a and 36a on the side of the plate opposite the gears supporting a saddle frame 41 of U shape as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4. These crank arms rotate in the bight portion 41a of the bottom of the U shape saddle while upstanding arms 41b straddle the drive shaft 23 and have bearing bushings 42 (FIG. 1) at their upper ends respectively mounting shafts 43 for an unwinding reel 44 and a winding reel 45 (FIG. 2).
The bottom bight portion 41a of the U shape saddle frame 41 carries a heater block 46 having a bottom groove receiving a removeable print block 47 (FIG. 1). The heater block 46 is heated from electrical current supplied through the above referred to journal box 17 with the indicator light 19 thereof showing the heated condition of the block. This heater block 46 serves to heat the print block and the raised type thereon to a temperature which is sufficient to melt and transfer the pigment of the ribbon to the traveling web 12 of the packaging machine as will be more fully hereinafter described.
Ribbon guide rolls 48 and 49 on the bottom 41a of the saddle frame 41 direct a run of the ribbon R under the type block 47 just above the horizontal run of the web 12 on the packaging machine 11. A guide roll 50 on the arm 41b of the U shape saddle frame supporting the winding reel 45 receives the ribbon from the roll 49 to direct it to the winding reel 45.
The side columns 13, 13 also carry a rod 51 spanning the space therebetween and mounting a back-up roll 52 on an arm 53 clamped to the rod 51. The back-up roll is selectively positioned along the length of the rod 51 to directly underlie the printing block 47.
The crank arms 35a and 36b have shaft portions 35b and 36b rotatably mounted in bearings 33a and 34a in the bight 41a of the saddle frame 41 so that when the gears 37 and 38 are driven, the entire saddle frame 41 will swing through an orbital path as designated in dotted lines in FIG. 4, moving the saddle frame and all of its components forwardly through a lowered dwell stroke where the type on the printing block 47 is pressed against the web 12 and then upwardly and rearwardly through a lift stroke where the type block and the ribbon are spaced above the web. The arrangement is such that the orbital movement of the frame 41 with its components is continuous and timed to move forward on its dwell stroke with the web 12 during the imprinting formed by the pressing of the heating type on the bottom run of the ribbon between the guide rolls 48 and 49 against the web 12 when backed by the backing roll 52 which may have a resilent cover.
The shaft portion 35b of the shaft 35 has a drive wheel 54 secured thereon while the shaft portion 36b of the shaft 36 has a second drive wheel 55 secured thereon. The wheel 54 has a slot 54a extending diametrically thereacross which slideably supports a block 56 on which is pivoted a link 57. The block 56 has an elongated slot 56a receiving a headed pin 58 threaded into the wheel which can be tightened to lock the block in fixed selected positions in the slot 54a. As shown in FIGS. 6, 9, and 10, this pin 58 can be selectively threaded into longitudinally spaced threaded holes 59 in the bottom of the groove 54a to provide for extended positioning of the block relative to the center of rotation of the drive wheel 54.
As also shown in FIGS. 6, 9, and 10, the link 57 is pinned at 60 to one end of the block 56 and the throw of the link will be determined by the length of the radius arm between this pin and the center of rotation of the drive wheel 54. Therefore, the sliding of block 56 to position the pin 60 at variable distances from the center of rotation of the drive wheel 54 will vary the stroke of the link.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the arm 41b of the saddle frame 41 carrying the unwinding reel 44 has a lateral extension 61 carrying shafts or pins 61a and 61b. A first one way clutch 62 driven in a counterclockwise direction and a second one way clutch 63, acting as an anti back-up lock preventing clockwise rotation, are mounted on the shaft 61a. The clutch 63 is anchored to the arm 41b through an arm 63a (see FIGS. 9 and 10). Any of the known one way clutches are useful. The clutch 62 is driven by a crank arm 64 pinned at 65 to the upper end of the link 57. The arrangement is such that the clutch 62 will be driven only on the downstroke of the link to drive a gear 66 (FIGS. 9 and 10) in a counterclockwise direction. This gear 66 is meshed with a gear 67 on the shaft 61b so that this gear 67 is driven in a clockwise direction. The gear 67 in turn drives a feed roll 68 in a clockwise direction.
A back-up idler roller 69 is carried on a crank arm 69a pivoted on the arm 61 and biased by a spring 70 to press the ribbon R from the unwinding reel 44 against the feed roll 68 to form a nip therewith so that when the roll 68 is driven, the ribbon R will be pulled from the unwinding reel in a length increment determined by the driving stroke of the link 57 which, as pointed out above, in turn, is determined by the position of the block 56 in the groove 54a of the driving wheel 54.
As shown by FIGS. 9 and 10, the drive wheel 54 can be driven either clockwise in FIG. 9 or counterclockwise in FIG. 10 to pull the link 57 downwardly for oscillating the arm 64 and engaging the clutch 62 to drive the gear 66 in a counterclockwise direction. On the upstroke of the link 57 and arm 64, the clutch 62 disconnects and the clutch 63 locks to prevent reverse rotation of the gear 66. Thus, the input shaft 23 may be driven in either direction to orbit the saddle frame 41 clockwise or counterclockwise and the feed roll 68 will always be driven in one direction (clockwise as shown ) to pull the ribbon from the unwinding reel 44.
A coil spring belt 71 trained around a pulley 72 on the unwinding reel 44 and around a fixed pin 73 projecting from the arm 41b of the frame 41 acts as a brake holding the reel against rotation and offering resistance to maintain a taut run of the ribbon R between the reel and the driving nip.
The drive wheel 55 driven from the shaft portion 36b is grooved and receives a coil spring belt 74 stretched around a pulley 75 on the winding reel 45 so as to exert a continuous driving action to wind up the spent or used ribbon on the reel 45. The arrangement is such that the coil spring driving belt 74 will slip, permitting the reel 45 to stay stationary until such time as the feed mechanism rotates the feed roll 63 to pull an increment of tape from the unwinding reel 44 whereby the run of the ribbon from the feed mechanism is always maintained in a taut position.
Quick disconnect clamps 76 are provided for the outer plates of the reels 44 and 45 to accommodate quick mounting of ribbons of desired widths. The guide rolls, such as 48, are also adjustable in width by the use of spacer washers and the like shown in FIG. 1 to accommodate tapes of different widths.
From the above descriptions it will be understood that the drive shaft 23 is continuously driven from the sprocket connection to the packaging machine 11 in exact timed relation to the movement of the web 12 through the machine. The main frame plate 16 of the imprinter and the back-up wheel 52 are adjusted on their support rods 14 and 51 to position the printing block and back-up roll transversely of the packaging machine so that the imprint will be made at the exact location selected for the web 12 passing through the machine.
The stroke of the feed mechanism is regulated by positioning the block 56 in the slotted groove 54a of the drive wheel 54 to feed the ribbon R in increment lengths just sufficient to accommodate the printing area. Thus as shown in FIG. 7, when the printing area 47a of the printing block 47 is relatively small, a narrow ribbon R may be used to pass under the printing area 47a and provide just sufficient width to cover the printing indicia. The stroke of the feed mechanism is controlled so that the length increments of ribbon R illustrated by the dotted lines L will be just sufficient to cover the indicia on the printing area. Then, when printing block 47 is replaced with a larger block as shown in FIG. 8, a wider ribbon can be threaded on the imprinter to just cover the printing indicia and the stroke of the feed mechanism regulated to advance longer length increments L' over the printing block.
It should be understood, therefore, that the imprinters of this invention are driven continuously from the machine on which they are mounted, move with the work product being printed and are easily adjusted to advance just enough length of pigmented ribbon during a return stroke to accommodate the next imprint. The ribbons carry a thermoplastic pigment which is printed onto the work product by heated type pressed against the ribbon which in turn is pressed against the work product as it advances through the packaging machine or the like.
It will, of course, be understood that modifications and departures from the specifically illustrated embodiment of this invention may be made without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the herein presented claims.

Basic Science Question - "fabric" of space

Re: Basic Science Question - "fabric" of space
The reason why it's space-time originates from the fact that in Special Relativity space and time are seen to be inextricably linked through the Minkowski metric with diagonal [-1,1,1,1], which is the signature of flat space-time. The -1 encodes the facts that the invariance of the speed of light and that there are no preferred reference frames result an apparent trade off between the measurements of space and time of a body moving relative to an observer (time stretches and space shrinks).
In General Relativity, the presence of a spherically-symmetric mass in space-time results in other metrics such as the Schwarzchild, Kerr, Kerr-Newman, ReissnerNordström, and so on, depending on whether you also factor in the rotation and the charge of the body. For the Universe, the FriedmannLemaîtreRobertsonWalker metric is usally invoked, although its assumptions of homogeneity and spatial isotropy have recently been shown possibly to be incorrect over distances as large as 4Gly. (
You can think of a metric as a mathematical object that encodes the gravitational effect of the body on space-time and thereby on other bodies. Dropping the time component produces predictions for such things as the deflection of EM radiation by a massive body such as the Sun and the precession of the perihelion of Mercury that do not agree with observation. Adding the time component into the mix gives answers that are in good agreement.
The real problem lies in explaining why you can usually only go in one direction along the time axis (apart from rather outlandish solutions of the field equations) but either way along a spatial axis (unless you've fallen inside the event horizon of a black hole).

TE Data, the leading data communications service provider in Egypt, wanted to offer internal and external customers hosted Windows-based servers in the public cloud to complement its product portfolio. It chose Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V and Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2. TE Data is now well positioned to provide a cloud-based hosted service to customers at significantly less than the cost of physical servers.
TE Data is the largest IP-based data communications carrier in Egypt, with a 70 percent market share and a strategic vision for providing diverse customer services. Telecom Egypt established TE Data in 2001 to act as its data communications and Internet operations division focused on broadband services, virtual private networks, co-location services, and hosting.
The current economic climate in Egypt is such that many customers for hosted services are looking to save money while at the same time benefiting from cloud-based computing. Until recently, TE Data had virtualized servers running on VMware offering its internal and external customers the Linux operating system, but no equivalent public cloud service for Windows. Adopting a virtualized solution for Windows was becoming imperative because more and more TE Data customers, or potential clients in Egypt, wanted Windows as a hosted service, but on a cost-effective basis.
Islam Kandil, Systems Division Manager, TE Data, says: "We made a commercial decision to offer virtualized Windows-based servers as well as Linux, starting with internal users at TE Data. Many of our customers across the country wanted a hosted solution for business use but didn't want to invest in their own infrastructure or pay for a dedicated Windows-based server."
In launching a Windows-based cloud solution, Kandil and his colleagues knew they needed to lower hardware costs. Virtual machines can respond more flexibly to the changing needs of the customer and carry less risk than dedicated servers. Kandil says: "We needed a high degree of automation for the provisioning of virtual servers to make it easier to manage the service and deliver on customer expectations."
TE Data worked with Ingazat Information Technology—an IT consultancy company in Egypt and Microsoft Partner for infrastructure implementation, messaging, and unified communications—to deliver a virtualized public cloud platform.
Although TE Data already had VMware, the partner recommended Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V virtualization software. Microsoft offered a total packaged solution, which included automated operational management with Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 and Microsoft System Center Opalis. System Center Opalis helps ensure interoperability across the data center with non-Microsoft tools—a feature especially important to TE Data because it uses several different operating systems.
Khaled Abdel Fattah, Chief Executive Officer, Ingazat Information Technology, says: "TE Data was previously using mainly manual processes for managing its servers. In the proof of concept for Hyper-V and the System Center operational tools, we wanted to test the degree of automation. The interfaces were important to us. And the addition of System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 at no extra cost made Hyper-V highly competitive compared to VMware."
The proof of concept took place at the beginning of 2011, and the solution has now gone live internally, with the external launch awaiting final decisions by the company on its marketing strategy. Fattah says: "System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 has relieved us of a lot of work previously done by hand. TE Data is highly satisfied with the virtualized solution."
In addition, TE Data can use the infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) model, for serving customers that want Windows-based servers with the Microsoft Dynamic Data Center Toolkit for hosting providers. The toolkit is built on Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V and System Center technology, and helps provision virtual servers without the complexity of manual processes.
The virtualized Windows-based server solution with Hyper-V software—soon to be offered to TE Data customers through shared servers—will be highly price competitive. Ingazat Information Technology has provided the platform for a highly stable and environmentally sustainable service that will deliver virtual servers on pre-provisioned hardware, helping to reduce future hardware acquisition costs.
Customers receive flexible service. Virtual machines can respond more flexibly to the changing needs of the customer and carry less risk than dedicated servers. Kandil says: "The virtual server with Hyper-V helps the customer upgrade or downgrade much more easily."
Cloud-based service gives customers more predictable costs. TE Data has invested in one of the largest public cloud deployments in the region. It will give customers more predictable costs for their hosted servers because they can subscribe on a pay-per-use basis.
Partner delivers knowledge transfer. Fattah says: "We've provided TE Data with a great deal of knowledge transfer and training during the deployment, as well as post-project support. The company's IT people are now Microsoft certified and can manage the solution on their own."
Deployment strengthens firm's reputation. The virtualized environment is much easier and more cost effective for TE Data to maintain and will meet the future demand for Windows-based servers in Egypt. Kandil says: "The Hyper-V development for Windows helps bolster our reputation as a market leader in delivering cloud-based solutions for hosted servers. It will satisfy a growing demand."
TE Data is the data communications and Internet service provider for Telecom Egypt, specializing in broadband services, virtual private networks, and hosting.

Despite losing Johnson, Bulls aim to maintain lock-down secondary
Sophomore defensive back Marqus Baker reels in an interception against Eastern Michigan last season. The Bulls defeated Eastern Michigan 42-24 at UB Stadium. Chad Cooper, The Spectrum
This year's Bulls team will need to replace a player who had a strong voice in the locker room and doubled as the best shutdown cornerback on the team, and arguably the best in the conference.
Senior corner Najja Johnson is one of the two 2013 first-team All-Mid-American Conference players (along with Khalil Mack) on the Bulls' defense who will not return due to graduation.
With seniors like Johnson, Derek Brim and Okoye Houston no longer playing, the football team will rely on groomed veterans and young players to step into the defensive secondary.
"You can't replace guys like Mack and Johnson, but you can learn and mimic their ethics," said junior cornerback Cortney Lester, who played across from Johnson for three years.
Johnson led the team in pass breakups with nine and tied for the team lead in interceptions with three. Lester was one of the players Johnson tied with for the interceptions mark. With three picks and six pass breakups last season, Lester is the favorite to take over Johnson's spot as the team's No. 1 corner.
Junior safety Witney Sherry is another player expected to have an increased role next season. Sherry finished with 14 tackles and one interception last season. He is looking to have a larger impact this season, both on the field and in the locker room.
"I feel like I earned a lot of respect for my ethics on and off the field," Sherry said. "We need leaders like that and I want to be one of them."
The defense allowed 216 passing yards per game last season. But defending the pass is only one part of the defensive backs' role. A secondary needs versatility to defend the pass and stop the run in the box.
Enter Adam Redden.
Not only is Redden - a junior - a top safety on the team, but he also doubles as an outside linebacker.
"Whenever I step on the field, I know I will make an impact," Redden said. "If coach tells me to play defensive tackle, I'll play there if it helps the team."
Redden has gotten progressively better each year he's been in Buffalo. Last season, he finished with 65 tackles and 4.5 sacks, both third on the team. He has been able to learn the outside linebacker position from the best linebacker Buffalo has ever had - Mack.
"After being a teammate with Mack, he teaches you things you cannot learn in a classroom," Redden said. "He teaches you how to be aggressive and quick with finesse, telling me to watch game tapes over and over again."
There are also several underclassmen vying for playing time in the secondary, including sophomore defensive back Okezie Alozie, who finished with 45 tackles, a sack and two pass breakups last season.
Another player to watch is sophomore defensive back Marqus Baker. Though he didn't start last year, Baker had an interception and four pass breakups. He will try for a starting position when camp commences in late summer.
"I believe we have the talent, confidence and potential to make another run at a bowl game," Sherry said. "With our team chemistry and promising younger guys, it is shaping up to be a great season coming."
The up-and-coming secondary will be put to its first test when the Bulls play their annual Blue-White Game Saturday.

Could the Grammys exist without healthy doses of skepticism and controversy? I think not.
Skepticism, mostly during the awards season, for all of the hype and pop/hip-hop glitz that seems to minimize the celebration of real music. However, as mentioned a while back, quality turned the tables on pop phenomenon when singer and bassist Esparanza Spalding was this year's upset winner in the Best New Artist category, much to the dismay and even outrage of Justin Bieber fans.
Controversy erupts, as it did a couple of weeks ago, when the powers-that-be decided to trim back a number of awards categories from 109 to 78, a reduction of roughly 30 percent, for next year's voting.
The changes were announced by National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences President Neil Portnow (the dude who prattled on over Spalding's Grammy performance). The changes come amid longstanding criticism in the music industry that too many categories were diluting the Grammys' impact. (The Grammys had only 28 categories when they began in 1959.)
There has been a firestorm of reaction from record companies, producers and musicians, particularly among impacted categories.Nobody has had their knickers in a twist (to borrow a U.K. term) more than the Latin music community, particularly Latin jazz. The award for Latin jazz has been eliminated under this revision. Bandleader Eddie Palmieri called it an insult to our genre and many others."
Some would argue that among the aggrieved parties, the Latin categories may have the least to crow about. Latin music is the only genre that has a separate but related showcase with the Latin Grammy Awaards, that have been held annually since 2000. Those awards do include Latin jazz categories.
At a NARAS regional chapter meeting in New York, Palmieri told academy executives that there needs to be a greater Hispanic presence at the main event, implying that the separate Latin Grammy Awards, held in the fall, are far less significant. There's no two Oscars, no two Emmys, no two Tonys," he said. Later, in a written statement, Palmieri said NARAS is marginalizing our music, culture and people even further. Let me be clear: we have been discredited, we have been discarded and we are being wiped out."
NARAS has also cut categories for best contemporary jazz album, best traditional blues album, best metal performance and best rock instrumental performance, as well as four classical music categories.
Still, there are no separate Jazz Grammy, Classical Grammy, Blues Grammy Awards programs. So Latin Jazz seems to have a leg up in some respects over some other impacted genres.
Drummer Roy Haynes summed it all up by saying this latest tweak means the remaining jazz categories are going to be a lot more crowded, and that it's going to be harder than ever to win a Grammy.
Only time will tell whether the howls of protest will lead to a reconsiderationor further tweaks to a system that seems geared more and more toward commercial appeal and TV glitz.

In most litigation, the plaintiff and the defendant are equally susceptible to being sanctioned by the court for bad or dilatory behavior. However, government contracts litigation is not most litigation. In government contracts litigation (claims or protests), the contractor is more susceptible to being sanctioned than the government. But the government is not entirely immune to being sanctioned, as was evident in a recent case (discussed in this blog last month) where the Court of Federal Claims recently imposed monetary sanctions on the EPA for backdating a document during a bid protest.
Another example of the government being sanctioned came recently in Brasfield & Gorrie, LLC, v. Dept. of Veterans Affairs, CBCA 3300, 3354, 3538, Nov. 13, 2014. In that case, the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals (CBCA) imposed sanctions on the VA for its "egregious" abuses of the discovery process. The following passage speaks for itself as to what the CBCA thought of the VA's behavior in the case: Continue Reading

Attendees to the Oct meeting decided to try alternativing the monthly coffee meetups between Knight and Day Restaurant and Red Robin. Therefore the next meeting will be Tuesday, November 13th at 6:30pm at Knight and Day Restaurant.
Well other than me being 30 mins late!! and thinking I got there in time...LOL...what a doh-head I am...I have no idea how I could have forgotten from the day before when I posted a reminder that the meeting started at 6:30...oh well! I had the agenda list, and a door prize to give away, so I think I was forgiven! It was another great meeting, got alot discussed. Minutes will hopefully be posted a little later. And of course, I always enjoy the social part of getting out to chat with everyone.

The H6 is a low-cost 10" netbook from China powered by a 1.0GHz AllWinner A10 processor, a Mali 400 GPU and 512MB RAM, it comes pre-installed with Android 4.0.3. The lighweight device supports common video and audio formats, dozens of languages ranging from Afrikaans to Traditional Chinese and has a standard 80 keys English keyboard.
Pre-installed applications include browser, calendar, file manager, Gmail, and Skype. More applications can be installed via the Android market. The netbook likely also runs other Linuxes, but with a 1024x600 screen resolution you may experience problems such as non-visible user interface elements.
The H6 is currently being offered on pandawill.com for $140.99 including worldwide shipping, which seems like a good price looking at the hardware specs, but is somehow spoiled by only 3 hours of battery life.

Perfect vacation on the beach.Posted Oct 21, 2014
From the moment we checked in we had an excellent time. I have never had a faster check in process, ever! The hotel was very traditional and was covered in details from head to toe. The neighboring hotels are very quite or vacant and that gives the mia's beach about a quater mile of empty space. Beautiful water and view as soon as you step into the lobby. Staff ws excellent and on point for every request. We booked the honeymoon suite with a spa on the balcony overlooking the ocean...amazing. We sat out there drinking and enjoyed the spa one evening. The, pool bar is great as well with strong drinks and an amazing view and clean facilities. Great location, hop on the bus and in 3 minutes you will be by all the bars and clubs. Across the street there is a shopping mall. I will be returning to this hotel, more mellow paced with not as many annoying guests as the larger resorts have. Also by staying here you have access to the sister mia hotel on isla mujeres which is probably the best resort on that island! Highly recommended, Thank you Juan and staff!

Old and outdated hotel. Needs help.Posted Aug 26, 2014
Stayed at Mia Cancun for night. The only thing that is great about this hotel is the beach and location. The bad: 1. room was old and uncomfortable. 2. The lobby doesn't have working A/C. The lobby felt like a sauna with sofas and a chandelier. 3. No wifi in room. Only in the steam room aka the lobby. 4. The room I stayed in faced the lagoon, it needs a major makeover. Hot water was a problem. The bathroom was one of the worse I've seen. The good: it's located in front of a beautiful beach.

GetawayPosted Aug 20, 2014
Pros: The view, layout and the clientele it attracted. The valet service was excellent.
Cons: Elevator service was often delayed. Bathroom supplies were not consistently replenished.
Everything was good: food, service, ambiance, beach.

Beautiful little hotel on a beautiful beachPosted Aug 5, 2014
I loved my room over looking the ocean it was ckean and spacious the hotel is located next to malls shopping and restaurant the breakfast was included and loved having it overlooking the ocean in the morning. The entire staff were polite and friendly very hospitable I had a minor issue with something in my room and it was taken care of immediately. The only bad part is there is no elevator but I did not mind. I loved my room! Thank u to Carlos on the beach for the umbrellas and chairs everyday. Thank u to Henry at the pool bar Luis at the breakfast restaurant and Juan Carlo for his accommodating way. U guys are the best and I will return again!

Perfect VacationPosted Aug 1, 2014 on Hotels.com
When we arrived at the hotel, I was disappointed because the Honeymoon Suite was not as described. While the two patios were amazing, the room did not have a sitting or dining area. We were told the Manager, Alejandro, would not be in until the next morning. So we enjoyed our ocean view terrace for the night. The next morning, Alejandro upgraded us to the Penthouse Suite which was totally amazing and more than we could ask for. This hotel is older, but you get the feel of Mexico and not a modern high rise hotel that you can find in any city. It is small, so you don't get lost in the crowd. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. The stairs are a challenge, but an elevator would distract from this hotel's charm. The beach is perfect and not crowded. The breakfast is great, and they offer several choices. We highly recommend this hotel and their professional and courteous staff. Thanks, again, Alejandro and Juan Carlos. We will be back again.

Please complete the form below and we will be in touch with you within 1 business day.
Earlier this week I was fortunate to carve out a 4 hour block of time for a long cycling workout. Being new to the sport of triathlon, 50 miles was the longest bike ride of my life! It was a really long, hot ride! The funny part was the only part of my body that hurt during and after the ride were my feet! Why is it that my feet hurt instead of my butt or legs? Turns out, I am not alone. Foot pain is much more common in cyclists than most of us realize. Biking is much gentler on my body than running, but your feet do take a pounding!
Let's investigate foot pain in cyclists just a little. I experienced a burning pain in my forefoot after about 40 miles that did not go away until about 2 hours after I got off my bicycle. Why did this happen? In my case, I sized my cycling shoes too small for the training plan. My shoes fit well when I started, but as soon as my feet started to get hot; they swelled and literally got squished by the stiffness of the shoes. At 40 miles, the nerves in between my toes were pinched and all my toes went to sleep then started to burn like they were on fire! This is commonly called metatarsalgia, traumatic neuritis or parasthesias.
Foot pain like I experienced is actually not uncommon in cyclists. This can be caused by improper placement of clips, poorly sized shoes and certain foot deformities that require more support in the shoes. Luckily, most foot pain can be solved by bigger shoes, metatarsal padding, different socks or custom foot orthotics. Burning pain can be a sign of a Morton's neuroma, an early stress fracture or lumbar radiculopathy (a pinched nerve in your back), so if your burning does not go away with simple solutions, quickly seek the advise of your podiatrist or sports medicine physician.
Other foot related problems seen in cyclist are plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis, which in the early stages are usually solved by raising your saddle or turning it slightly askew. Often, we wait too long to address an injury because we think it will miraculously solve itself. Long standing foot pain often requires more aggressive treatments with custom orthotics, physical therapy, injections or even surgery in severe cases.
Thankfully my foot pain completely resolved with slightly bigger shoes, a thinner sock and a small metatarsal pad. My upcoming long rides on the way to a half-Ironman triathlon in the fall should be much more comfortable and pain free!
Foot and ankle athletic injuries are very common. We specialize in sports medicine getting you back to sports as soon as possible. The most common foot and ankle sports injuries are plantar fasciitis, ankle sprains, shin splints, Achilles tendonitis, peroneal tendonitis, stress fractures, posterior tibial tendonitis, anterior tibial tendonitis, neuromas, tarsal tunnel syndrome, ankle instability, and metatarsalgia. Gait problems can also cause ileotibial band syndrome, patella tendonitis, back pain, hip pain and piriformis syndrome. Medications, injections, splinting, orthotics and/or physical therapy are often quite helpful in treating most injuries. Our doctors will discuss your injury and prescribe a course of treatment that will return you to sport stronger than when you came into the office.
Fall down, go boom? Foot and ankle trauma is extremely common no matter how young or old you are. Fractures, torn ligaments and tendons, sprain and strains, puncture wounds and toenail trauma occurs every day. Our physicians can help put you back together so that you can recover from your accident as fast as possible. Don't wait too long to seek medical advice after your accident or injury. Delaying treatment often only worsens the problem!
Foot pain related to congenital and acquired foot and ankle deformities is extremely prevalent in our society. Pain can be from flat feet or a high arched foot and associated gait problems; or be from a progressive deformity like a bunion or a hammertoe. Our doctors are extensively trained to diagnose and treat the underlying deformity to help you function at your best. We want to prevent your problems from getting worse, no matter what you inherited from your family! God may have had a sense of humor when he created your feet, but we will work with you to optimize your biomechanical function and aesthetics! No one should suffer from ugly, painful feet!
Neurological foot and ankle issues can be a burning or shooting pain, numbness, weakness or just a "pins and needles" sensation. Nerve can be affected by compression at the spine level, knee level, ankle level or in your foot. Neuropathy can be a subtle nerve degeneration from aging, diabetes, and a myriad of other causes. Do not assume your nerve issues will go away or that nothing can be done. A proper diagnosis can lead to alleviation of your nerve troubles.
Healthy Steps Shoe Store Grapevine welcomes patients and their families as well as the surrounding communities of Grapevine, Southlake, and Colleyville. Our Newest location in our Keller office serves Fort Worth, Trophy Club, Roanoke, Watauga, and beyond to help them with their therapeutic shoe gear needs. A certified shoe fitter is always available by appointment for consultation. An extensive array of prefabricated and custom orthotics as well as many foot care essentials are also readily available to compliment your shoe and sandal purchases. We carry a wide variety of comfort shoe gear that are as pretty as they are comfortable.

Wilcox Named National Rookie of the Month
Dec. 5, 2012
MINNEAPOLIS – Minnesota freshman goaltender Adam Wilcox has been named as the HCA National Division I Rookie of the Month for November. Wilcox went 5-2-2 with a 1.75 goals-against average and .925 save percentage, forged a six-game unbeaten streak, and allowed two or fewer goals in eight of his nine starts in November
A 6-0, 186-pound freshman from South St. Paul, Minn., Wilcox emerged as the Golden Gophers' starting goaltender in the month of November. He went 4-0-2 over a six-game stretch between Nov. 9-24 that included a 4-0 shutout at Alaska Anchorage on Nov. 9, a 2-2 overtime tie and 3-1 victory over Wisconsin on Nov. 16-17 and a 5-1, 3-1 nonconference road sweep at Vermont over the Thanksgiving weekend that saw him stop 48 of 50 shots on goal. He was named the WCHA Rookie of the Month on Nov. 13 and for the month, he turned aside 198 of 214 shots on goal.
Over 819:23 of action in nets this season, Wilcox leads the WCHA overall with a 1.61 goals-against average, is third in save percentage at .925, and is first in victories at 9-2-2 and second in winning percentage at .769. He is a draft choice of the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning.
