The Entrepreneur's Corner
Is your business website working for you?
Most businesses today have an online presence or are considering the process of creating one. However, just having an online presence isn't enough. Is your website doing what you want it to do?
Some websites actually may have an undesired effect on prospective clients or, worse, drive traffic to your competition. While these unfortunate problems could occur for any number of reasons, usually, the solution is simple and easily remedied.
Here are some vital tips to ensure your website does what it should:
1. Get a pro – If you want a site done right, hire someone who creates websites for a living. If you had a water leak, you would call a plumber. Creating an online presence should occur the same way. A good web designer helps you avoid frustration and saves both time and money. There are many elements vital to your site's success that only a designer can implement effectively.
2. Keep it current – Regardless of format, whether your website is an e-commerce site, a Wordpress blog, or even a Facebook business page, keep the content updated. A site without new content on a regular basis (daily, weekly or monthly) soon will disappear from search engines, making it difficult for new customers to find you. Returning customers will notice if things change, and, hopefully, updated content keeps them engaged and coming back for more.
3. Avoid dead ends – When you are working with your designer (remember tip #1?), make sure when your website launches, all of your content is ready to go. Nothing is worse than the dreaded "coming soon" sign instead of the customer finding an active website, especially if your target market is unique. Have to change something or haven't created content yet? Just disable the link temporarily. If the information isn't visible, the customer will never know what was or was not meant to be there. Give your designer content regularly (remember tip #2?) and make it a priority to have all links functioning properly.
4. "3-2-1-contact!" – One of the most important services a website provides its visitors is a way to contact you. Nothing hurts you more than a customer with a question who cannot get an answer. A good website should answer most questions, but sometimes direct contact with another human being is better. Make sure your contact information is easy to find and easy to remember. In this case, more is always better. Phone, e-mail, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn – these are potential ways for you to be accessible to your clients. Make sure you use and check them regularly.

CCC seeks donations for food pantry
Citizen Staff Reports 11/12/2014
Commonwealth Catholic Charities is in desperate need of food donations for its community food pantry that serves the region's low-income families, according to officials with the Henrico-based nonprofit.
After moving into its new location this past summer, the agency has dedicated a larger space for the pantry but the shelves are practically empty.
"As we head into the holidays and the weather turns colder, the need for food becomes even more critical, but unfortunately our cupboards are nearly bare," said Jay Brown, the agency's director for the division of housing services. "Donations of food will allow us help provide." > Read more.

In a dining room the 2010 Michelin guide described as "a fresh, modern interior soaked in beautiful, natural light," according to their website, servers at Indian Clove deliver a diverse roster of Indo-Chinese dishes. As patrons sip salted, spiced lassi, daily lunch buffets heap plates with both vegetarian and nonvegetarian entrees. Grilled-chicken tikka and lobster cook inside the traditional clay oven known as a tandoor as chefs with a "serious talent for Indian fare," according to Michelin, prepare classics such as samosas and lamb vindaloo. Drinks and live DJs complement these classic flavors in the bar and lounge, where hanging orange lamps sprout from carefully watered light bulbs to illuminate cocktails.
The flickering fireplace in the dining room of Pepper Jack Grill casts a warm glow over the bilevel booths and pale-yellow walls adorned with local artwork. In the kitchen, chefs grill rib eye steaks alongside Angus beef and turkey-burger patties for patrons to customize with toppings from the burger bar such as apricot-chipotle barbecue sauce and handcut bacon. Pintsize chandeliers light the full half-moon-shape bar, where bartenders pour signature sangria, shakertinis, and goblets of black-cherry-bourbon sours. Live entertainment tickles the ears of diners while they watch sports games on flat-screen televisions or meander toward the outdoor patio lounge to shush overhead stars.
Dugout Pub South tempts appetites with slow-cooked, smoked ribs, thin crust pizzas crowned with clams or deep-fried calamari, and more than 25 burgers made with 8-ounce Angus beef patties and toppings such as blue cheese, banana peppers, and house-made chili. Inside the dining area, four dartboards, a shuffleboard table, and flat-screen TVs entertain patrons sipping libations from the full bar, which features 20 different brews on tap. Live entertainment includes DJs, bands, karaoke, and wandering minstrels, tickling the ears of customers in the dining area or outside on the tiki deck.
The culinary wizards at Lamp Post Bar and Grill stack succulent sandwiches, stir up rich entrees, and pour thirst-quenching brews in a comfortable setting. Feasts kick off with one of several taste-bud-tickling appetizers, including roasted button mushrooms stuffed with spinach, ham, and cheese that get messy when pushed through actual buttonholes. Twelve sandwich offerings teeter appealingly on table-bound plates; the Otto Betz pulled-pork sandwich fills beleaguered bellies with slow-roasted pork shoulder mixed with Carolina-style barbecue sauce, with coleslaw and hash brown toppings to add a satisfying crunch. Five cheeses intermingle in the rich sauce that tops Lamp Post's mac 'n' cheese snuggled beneath a panko, bacon, and parmesan crust in an effort to promote inter-cheese cooperation among the warring swiss and cheddar tribes.
In 2004, five longtime friends decided to turn their love of American craft beer and classic arcade games into a business model. The result was Barcade, which unleashes night owls upon dozens of 1980s arcade consoles as bartenders pull from a nearly equal number of taps. Their rotating selection of American craft beers features creations from such breweries as Allagash, Founders, and Victory, each pint the ideal complement to vintage games ranging from Galaga and Centipede to Donkey Kong and Q*Bert. In addition to their unending search for the tastiest brews and the best games, the owners also commit to running their business in an ecologically conscious manner. At any given time, at least 75% of their beer list is made up of styles brewed within a few miles of the bar, allowing them to return empty kegs to their original breweries for cleaning and reuse. They garnish their cocktails with compostable and sustainable drinking straws and stirring sticks, and sling them atop a bar constructed from found and recycled materials. Even the electricity used to power the arcade machines hails from local wind farms, where farmers spend all day blowing out birthday candles.
Ten Brunswick Gold Crown IV pool tables offer up their ample pockets to shooters' careful aim in Joe Broadway's Billiards & Sports Bar's spacious playroom. Every night until 3 a.m., an Internet jukebox augments the triumphant clamor of hefty breaks with players' favorite songs or high-school geometry lectures. In between games of pool, players can belly up to the full bar for a drink of domestic or imported beer, play a game on the Xbox or PS3 console, or raise the stakes with a free round of darts. Seven large-screen plasma TVs let players keep one eye on the game, and an onsite pro shop lets serious shooters replace their repurposed parade batons with real cues.

Silver Linings Playbook author Matthew Quick is at it again, this time with the poignant YA novel, Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock. In the book (out now) Leonard Peacock brings his grandfather's P-38 pistol to school to kill his former best friend, and then himself. But before he—quite literally—pulls the trigger, Leonard must say goodbye to the four people who matter to him the most: his neighbor, Walt; his classmate, Baback; Lauren, the girl he has a crush on; and Herr Silverman who teaches a class on the Holocaust at Leonard's school. Full disclosure: you might need tissues to make it through Leonard Peacock, but even if you don't, you'll likely be touched by Leonard's story. Here, Quick talks about his inspiration for the book, the movie adaptation that's in the works, and the success of Silver Linings Playbook. Check it out after the jump. READ FULL STORY

'Hunger Games' producers nab rights to 'Crazy Rich Asians'
Crazy Rich Asians, Kevin Kwan's best-selling comedic novel about an American-born Chinese woman who travels to Singapore to meet her boyfriend's billionaire family, is heading to the big screen. Nina Jacobson's Color Force, which produces The Hunger Games films, landed the book's feature-film rights. "Crazy Rich Asians is that immersive page turner I am constantly searching for but so rarely find," said Jacobson, in a statement. "Kevin's writing took me into a world I'd never seen or imagined and got me so invested in the romance at the heart of it that I could not put the book down until I saw whether or not they made it. This novel represents an enormous opportunity for Color Force to tell a universal story to a global audience."
In the novel, Nick brings Rachel home to meet his family, a nerve-wracking courtship ritual for any couple, but one that is complicated further when Rachel is confronted by his family's opulent wealth and their over-the-top behavior. "It's a story of three families and Nick is really at the nucleus of it," Kwan told EW in June. "[Rachel] is our guide, our guide being that we are these western readers entering this new world. Even though she is Chinese, she is American. She thinks she knows what it's all about, and then she goes into this world and discovers that all of her misconceptions and all of her perceived ideas of Asia are challenged."

Author and TV writer Maria Semple talks 'Where'd You Go, Bernadette', 'Arrested Development', and the 'Bernadette' movie
Where'd You Go, Bernadette, released in paperback today, tells the story of Bernadette Fox, a brilliant architect turned neurotic housewife who spends her days planning a family trip to Antarctica per her teenage daughter's request. What results is a hilarious epistolary novel constructed almost entirely of letters and email correspondence. When Bernadette goes missing, it becomes her daughter's sole purpose to track down her mother in this story about family, failure and bouncing back. The second novel from television writer Maria Semple, Where'd You Go, Bernadette, made a splash in the book world in 2012 and is now being made into a feature film. We caught up with Semple to talk about the book, the movie and everything in between: READ FULL STORY
Will Stephenie Meyer make 'The Host' a trilogy?
The big-screen adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's The Host doesn't hit theaters till March 29, yet there's already chatter that the Twilight author might turn this sci-fi thriller into a trilogy.
"Once you've created characters that have life to them, unless you kill them all, you know where their stories go. You're always aware of what happens next," Meyer told the Associated Press earlier this week. "I've got outlines for the next books. I would hope that this would be a three-book arc, but we'll see."
Not so fast, cautions a source close to Meyer, who tells EW that there's been no new news to report on the sequel/trilogy front. Besides, Meyer's plate is pretty full at the moment — in addition to promoting The Host she's a producer on the newly Sundance-acquired Austenland, starring Keri Russell.

A southeast Kansas man has been sentenced to more than seven years in prison for his role in the death of a Pittsburg man three years ago.
Forty-one-year-old Charles F. Mitchell of Pittsburg was sentenced Tuesday for in the death of 29-year-old Ian P. Monaghan.
Mitchell and 33-year-old Amie Lee Ryburn were originally charged with first-degree murder after Monaghan was found shot to death in July 2010 in a field two miles west of Pittsburg.
The Joplin Globe reports Ryburn, who was the person who shot Monaghan, pleaded guilty earlier this year to second-degree murder and manufacturing methamphetamine. She was sentenced to more than 25 years in prison.
Witnesses testified at a preliminary hearing that Ryburn lured Monaghan to the field because she thought he was a confidential informant.

The Mosquito Control Biology Lab has been testing certain mosquitoes for EEE using a type of Vec test (field lab test) for the last four weeks.
As of today, there were 5 EEE positive mosquito pools taken from 4 different testing locations. Three of these sites are in Blackwater, and the fourth is on West Neck Road in Pungo.
In addition, there has been one confirmed positive EEE test from a sentinel chicken in Pungo and 3 more pending EEE positive sentinel chickens. The locations of these birds are Indian River Road near Elbow Road, central Blackwater and south Blackwater.
That is a total of 9 positive tests in 2 weeks, which is highly unusual. Normally for a summer season, the average number of positives for EEE for the entire season is 6.
Mosquito Control has increased their spraying program in these affected areas. People who live in these areas or who spend a lot of time outdoors should take precautions to avoid mosquito bites, including: • Try to minimize outdoor activity around dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active• Wear long, loose, light colored clothing• Use an appropriate insect repellant and follow label instructions.• Get rid of any standing water on your property. This offers a prime breeding area for mosquitoes.
EEE is actually quite rare in humans, but conditions have been prime for it to become a problem this season. Property owners at the trapping sites have been contacted and advised, and lab officials will continue to consult with the other Mosquito Control districts throughout the Hampton Roads region. # # #

The arcade dates back to 1819 when Lord George Cavendish, who lived in Burlington House (now the Royal Academy) commissioned his architect, Samuel Ware, to design a covered promenade of shops – unofficially to stop ruffians from throwing quantities of rubbish (oyster shells in particular) onto his property and officially 'for the gratification of the public and to give employment to industrious females'.
Rumour has it that the entire 200 yard length of the arcade was converted into a refectory style dining area with trestle tables. The exclusive guestlist included both A-listers and friends. Perspex cubes containing silk scarves fashioned into the shape of her buildings were placed at intervals along the huge table. Rumours that one was empty with a label 'Cardiff' are unsubstantiated.

July 22, 1969 Filed Oct. 25; 196'? United States Patent US. Cl. 7332 4 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A device for measuring the mass or density of a liquid having a pipe with an inlet and outlet for passing said fluid therethrough. This pipe is adapted to oscillate and an arrangement is provided for exciting said pipe at its resonant frequency as determined by the respective type of fluid contained in the pipe.
Background of the invention This invention is generally concerned with the problem of determining the mass or density of a fluid, in particular of liquids and in a substantially continuous manner. Especially, this invention relates to a measuring device operated on the basis of determining the resonant frequency of a certain system capable of oscillating and including the fluid whose density is to be determined.
Devices for measuring the density of a liquid according to the prior art generally are based on the principle of collecting a certain amount of the fluid or liquid to be studied in a container of known volume and then weighing the total weight of the container and the fluid contained therein. However, such a principle is comparatively time consuming and cumbersome. Furthermore, a continuous measurement by determining the weight of the fluid under investigation requires means making such a procedure very expensive. In addition, in connection with such a known principle, there are comparatively many factors detrimental to and causing errors in the precise result of the measurement. For example, considerable difficulties are experienced in connection with supplying the fluid to and removing it from the measuring device without affecting the assumed measuring conditions.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a device for measuring the density of a fluid which device is substantially free of any detrimental influences causing errors in the accuracy of the measurement.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a de vice for measuring the density of a fluid which device is easy to handle, inexpensive in manufacture and capable of delivering reliable results.
It is still a further important object of this invention to provide a device for measuring the density of a fluid which device is capable of carrying out such a measurement in a substantially continuous manner.
It is another object of this invention to provide a density measuring device of simple structure which is independent of external influences as they might be caused in particular by changes in the ambient temperature.
In order to accomplish these and other objects, according to this invention the fluid to be studied is conducted through tubular means having a passageway with an inlet and an outlet for the fluid. This tubular means is clamped in such a manner, that it may be excited by a suitable arrangement and may oscillate at its resonant frequency. Dependent on the density of the fluid contained in this tubular means, the resonant frequency will vary and thus furnish a clear indication about the density 2 of the fluid under investigation. The resonant frequency may be ascertained readily by measuring the frequency of the exciting arrangement. The inlet and outlet ports for the fluid are locatedv outside the area in which the oscillation occurs, so that no additional members as hoses or the like would participate in the oscillation.
Further features and advantages of the'present invention will become apparent in connection with the following description of prefer-red embodiments of the invention as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatical elevational view, partly in section, of the measuring device of this invention with an associated exciting electromagnetic System partly shown in perspective view;
FIG. 2 is a further embodiment of this invention wherein the tubular means for conducting the fluid under investigation is constituted by a bar-like member clamped merely at its one end;
FIG. 3 is an elevational top view of the structure of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic representation in elevation of another embodiment of this invention, partly in section;
FIG. 5 is an end view of the structure of FIG. 4;
FIG. 6 is an elevational view, partly in section, of another, slightly modified embodiment of this invention;
FIG. 7 is a cross-section through FIG. 6 taken along line 7-7 and on a somewhat enlarged scale;
FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 illustrate the deformation of a pipe oscillating in accordance with another embodiment of;
this invention with respect to its circumferential shape instead of oscillating in its entirety with respect to its longitudinal axis;
FIG. 10 is an end view in elevation of a tune fork-like structure contituting a further embodiment of this invention; and
FIG. 11 is a side elevational view of FIG. 10.
Referring now to the drawings, the reference character 10 generally designates a measuring device according to this invention. A pipe 12 having an inlet 13 and an outlet 14 extends through lateral support walls 15 and 16. Walls 15 and 16 constitute a substantially rigid immovable system to which pipe 12 is likewise connected in a substantially rigid manner. Pipe 12, which preferably may be of circular cross-section or cylindrical configuration is made of a resilient material enabling the pipe to oscillate radially-to a certain extent when-excited by a suitable means. The distance between walls: 15 and 16 is chosensuch that the radial oscillation of-pipeg12can take place as desired.
Pipe 12 is embraced by an electromagnet generallydesignated 20. This electromagnet 20 comprises a U-core having two pole pieces 23 and 24 provided with excitation coils 26, 28 in the vicinity of its ends. Coils 26 and,28 arev connected in series with each other by means of a lead 29, whereas their ends may be connected through leads" 30, 31' to a generator of alternating electric energy 32 driven by an electric motor 34 mechanically coupled thereto. By varying the rotations per time unit of said motor'34, the frequency of the alternating voltage supplied by said generator 32 to said coils 26, 28 may be varied in a suitable manner.
Accordingly, the frequency of the alternating magnetic I 12, in turn, will depend on the density of the fluid con-' tained in the hollow space thereof. Thus, there will be a 3 differentresonant frequencies for different kinds of fluid filling the pipe 12. The system oscillating at this resonant frequency is comprised basically of a spring component as constituted by the clamped elastic pipe .12 and of a mass component as composed of the mass of pipe 12, on the one hand, and the mass of the fluid to be studied, on the other hand-The fluid contained in pipe 12 will not have any spring effect. As a consequence, when the resonant frequency of the swinging system has been set, the mass of the respective fluid and the density corresponding thereto may be determined readily in a manner known per se. 1
As apparent, the new measuring device of this invention does not include any elements not actually being parts of the oscillating system, i.e. that would not be either a portion of the actual mass component or the actual spring component, and which otherwise might affect the accuracy of the measuring device 10.
It will be understood, that any other means capable of exciting electromagnet 20 by means of a voltage of variable frequency or, in general, different means for oscillating pipe 12 in a manner indicated above, may be used and are fully within the scope of this invention, the electromagnet 20 merely being an example for carrying out this invention.
FIGS. 2 and 3 show a further embodiment of this invention. The oscillating system for ascertaining the density of afiuid here is designated generally by reference numeral 37. -In this embodiment, the tube means is constituted by a bar-like member 38 having a U-shaped channel 39 communicating with an inlet 41 and a corresponding outlet' (not shown). This bar-like member 38, which likewise is made of a resilient material so that it is capable of oscillating in a direction normal to its longitudinal axis, is clampedin contrast to the pipe 12 of FIG. l-only at one point between two blocks 44 and 46 of comparatively great weight relative to the weight of member 38. Both blocks 44 and 46 are arranged at opposite sides of member 38 and are secured to each other by bolts 47, 48 fastened by nuts 49 and 50', respectively, thereby clamping the bar-like member 38 in the desired manner.
The fluid may be fed to channel 39 and may be discharged therefrom through suitable flexible hoses (not shown) fitted over the respective inlet and outlet studs provided at the ends of channel. 39.
A clearance 52 is provided betwen blocks 44, 46 and member 38, so that member 38 may freely oscillate. At the upper ends of blocks 44, 46, there are recesses 54, and tongues 56 are mounted to the upper ends of blocks 44, 46 by bolts 57, which tongues protrude beyond said recesses 54 and terminate at a certain distance from member-38, so that member 38 may be subjected to oscillations in a direction normal to its longitudinal axis without, however, contacting tongues 56 and thereby affecting its free movement. The recesses 54 are so dimensioned that they arecapable of receiving excitation coils 58 associated with the inner ends of tongues 56.
Coils 58 may be, joined to a source of alternating electrieenergy of-variable frequency, as explained similarly in conjunction with FIG. 1. 1
In case, for example, the system of FIG. 1 is subjected to changes of the ambient temperature, such changes may cause considerable tensional or compressive forces acting 1 upon the rigidly clamped pipe .12, which forces might affect the resonant frequency of the oscillating system, thereby affecting the accuracy of the measurement. It may therefore --be desirable to protect the oscillating system against such additional and uncontrollable forces.
Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 4, a pipe '60 having an inlet-62 and an-outlet 64, may be inserted in the vicinity of its ends intoannular members 66 of comparatively great weight..Member 66 and pipe 60 are rigidly connected with each other, for instance by shrinking members 66 onto pipe 60.
Both annular members 66 rest upon a prismatic sup port rail having the cross-section as shown in FIG. 5. At least one of these annular members 66 may slide upon the contacting surface of rail 68 in axial direction of pipe 60, i.e. in the direction of the double headed arrow 70. The same may apply to the second annular member 66. Due to such an arrangement, pipe when associated with an exciting system as explained in conjunction with the embodiments of FIG. 1 and FIGS. 2, 3 may oscillate as if it were rigidly clamped, but due to the slidable connection between member 66 and rail 68 the tensional or compressive forces may expand or shorten pipe 60 in axial direction, so that these temperature caused forces will not generate tensions in pipe 60 which would affect the accuracy of the oscillating system, but will merely move one of or both member 66 and otherwise remain 'WlfhOUt any noticeable effect on the measuring device.
As in the embodiments described above, the fluid to be investigated is supplied to pipe 60 preferably through flexible hoses or the like not exerting any forces upon pipe 60 that might affect the density measurement, especially the ports communicating therewith are located outside the area of oscillation.
In practice, it may well occur that the pipe used as a tubular means in connection with the oscillating system is not absolutely circular and, moreover, does not possess a really uniform thickness along its entire circumference. The moment of inertia determining the resonant frequency would then not be exactly the same in all radial directions. Instead, there would be different reference axes and in particular, one axis corresponding to a moment of minimum inertia and one axis corresponding to a moment of maximum inertia. The resonant frequency for each of these maximum and minimum moments would differ from each other and correspond to oscillations of different amplitudes. However, it may be uncertain in what planes the respective axes would extend and, moreover, it may be difficult to analyze the difference between the different resonant frequencies.
According to a further embodiment of this invention, such uncertainties may be avoided by providing an oscillating pipe of a cross-section clearly distinguished from 1 that of a circle, so that two axes are obtained with respect to which the moments of inertia differ in a clearly notice able manner. The axes of minimum and maximum moment of inertia will then be clearly defined so that the exciting system may be associated with the oscillating system in such a manner, that oscillating movements take place merely in the plane of either said minimum or said maximum inertia moment under precisely known conditions.
In order to accomplish this, the pipe may be of elliptical or rectangular cross-section, which last mentioned crosssections have axes whose respective moments of inertia are clearly different from each other. However, in case the pressure of the fluid conducted through the pipe is sufficient to deform the cross-section thereof the resonant frequency would be influenced by the pressure prevailing within said pipe.
FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrate a suitable embodiment of this invention ensuring an oscillation under defined conditions and without any significant dependency on the fluid pressure. The pipe which here is designated with reference numeral 72 may, at its ends, have sections whose cross-sections are of O-like shape as apparent from FIG. 7. This O-like cross-section has two perpendicular axes 76, 78 corresponding to a minimum and a maximum moment of inertia. The fluid channel 79, however, is of circular cross-section, so that no alterations of any significance of the moments of inertia can be caused by a pressurized liquid running through channel 79.
In order to ensure the oscillation of pipe 72 as desired in one defined plane by providing two axes of different moments of inertia, it is sufficient to provide such a noncircular cross-section merely at the ends of the pipe 72,
whichsimilarly as the ends of pipe 60 of FIG. 4are rigidly connected to two clamping members 81, 82 of great weight, which likewise may be guided slidably upon a suitable surface as this holds true for the annular members 66 of FIG. 4.
According to a further embodiment of this invention, the fluid conducting pipe may not be oscillated radially, but the material of the pipe and the association with the exciting arrangement may be such that the cross-section of the pipe is altered in an oscillating manner. As shown in FIG. 8, at a certain time, the normally circular pipe may have an elliptical cross-section with its longer axis extending in vertical direction; when half an oscillation period has elapsed, the pipe will have assumed the configuration as shown in FIG. 9 with its longer axisextending in horizontal direction. Still half an oscillation period later, the configuration of FIG. 9 will have changed to that of FIG. 8 again, and so forth. The oscillations hereby take place about nodal points 85 and the amplitudes of the oscillation are a maximum in the middle between each adjacent pair of these points 85, which extend along lines parallel with the longitudinal axis of the pipe.
A further embodiment of this invention is illustrated in FIGS. 11. According to this embodiment, the tubular means or the oscillating system, respectively,'is not constituted by a substantially straight body but by a tune fork-like structure as generally designated with reference character 86. This structure has two lateral and preferably parallel walls 87, 88 bifurcating from a stem portion 90. At their upper ends remote from said stem portion 90 these lateral wal'ls terminate into containers 91, 92.
The stem portion 90 is provided with the necessary inlet and outlet studs 94 and 9-6, respectively, for feeding the fluid to be studied through containers 91, 92. Inlet stud 94 communicates with containers 91 and 92 through upstream passageways 97a and 97b, respectively. In a corresponding manner, outlet stud 96 communicates with containers 91 and 92 through downstream passageways 98a, 98b. Passageways 97a, b and 980, b are formed as channels of comparatively small diameter extending through stem portion 90, and bifurcating from there into the lateral walls 87, 88. The fluid is supplied to inlet stud 94 and discharged from outlet stud 96 through suitable flexible hoses not contributing to the physical mass of the tune fork-like structure 86.
The fluid may thus enter through inlet stud 94, reach containers 91 and 92 through upstream passageways 97a, b, fill containers 91, 92, and leave through the passageways 98a, b and outlet stud 96. Depending on the specific weight or density of the fluid present in containers 91, 92 and passageways 97a, b as well as 98a, b, the tune fork-like structure will have different resonant frequencies, which again may be determined readily by exciting the system by means of a suitable arrangement such as the electromagnet 20 shown in FIG. 1.
As in the embodiments described above, the fluid may be conducted through the measuring device in a continuous manner, so that continuous measurements may be made without interruptions and without the necessity of removing or disconnecting the measuring device from the fluid conducting circuit. Likewise, the entire system, with all its physical conditions being known, fully takes part in the resonant oscillation, so that the density of the fluid can be ascertained in a very precise manner, since there are no external elements of unknown influence that would influence the accuracy of measurement.
What is desired to be secured by Letters Patent is:
1. A device for ascertaining the density of a fluid and comprising support means; tube means in form of a substantialy straight pipe of resilient material clamped at two points having a distance from each other so as to enable said pipe to oscillate in a direction normal to its longitudinal axis when filled with fluid, said pipe having an inlet and an outlet located outside of said distance extending between said clamping points, said pipe being clamped at least on one of said two points by means of a member of considerable weight as compared to that of said pipe, and said member being slidably guided in axial direction of said pipe; and means for exciting said pipe so as to oscillate at its respective resonance frequency depending upon the density of the respective fluid contained therein.
2. A device as set forth in claim 1, wherein said tube means is made of a magnetic material such as steel and wherein said oscillating means is an electromagnetic arrangement having at least one pole piece adapted to act upon said tube means and provided with a coil of excitation, said coil of excitation being connected to a source of alternating electric energy of variable frequency.
3. A device as claimed in claim 2, wherein said tube means is made of such a material and is of such a crosssection and wherein said electromagnetic arrangement is associated with said tube means in such a manner that the cross-section of said tube means is deformed periodically at the resonant frequency of the tube rneans filled with said fluid along a predetermined section of said tube means.
4. A device as set forth in claim 1, wherein said tube means has portions of non-circular cross-section symmetrical with respect to two axes (76, 78) perpendicular to each other.

Funcom's third-person action game No Escape is a bloodless entry in the arena deathmatch subgenre of shooters. It's ostensibly aimed at kids, but since the action is all about gun battles, it actually appears to be pitched at a specific niche of pacifists who hate the sight of blood but still enjoy shooting people. If you fall into that group, and if you're not a stickler for interesting gameplay, then you might like No Escape. Everyone else should probably avoid it.
The first thing you'll notice about No Escape is its unusual graphics. The combat takes place on the surface of a series of small, spherical arenas. Consequently, the entire world and everything in it is sharply curved, so the horizon drops off a short distance in front of you. The effect is both unique and striking, but unfortunately it's the game's only notable feature.
As in id Software's popular Quake III: Arena, the single-player game in No Escape is a simple series of ladder matches against computer-controlled enemy bots. You pick one of eight cartoonlike characters and control him or her from a third-person perspective through 18 levels. The rules are a variant of the typical shooter's deathmatch mode. The winner is the contestant with the most money after a certain period of time. Packets of cash are strewn throughout the arena. They can be picked up by running over them, while taking damage causes characters to drop some of the cash they're holding. Killing someone ("knocking them out" in the semantically nonviolent world of No Escape) makes him or her drop a large wad of loot before respawning. Of further note, players who might have been frustrated with the limited save system in shooters such as Aliens vs. Predator will be shocked to learn that there's absolutely no saving permitted in No Escape's single-player game. You start with five lives. You lose one every time you're "knocked out" or fail to place first on a level, and you gain a life for every half a million dollars you grab. When you run out of lives, the game ends.
The arsenal in No Escape is a relatively unimaginative mix of conventional shooter weapons. There's the default pea-shooting zapper, a plasma cannon, a rocket launcher, a bazooka, a beam gun, and a couple of types of grenades. These vary in power, but they all share a similar lack of precision. The game provides a targeting reticle, but its movement is sluggish and inaccurate, even after tweaking the mouse sensitivity. The inexact aiming system, combined with the restricted view distance that's a consequence of the closeness of the horizon line, results in a combat system based seemingly more on luck than skill.
The levels are all laid out as a series of open areas connected by mazelike trenches. Most of them have only two elevations: ground level and the tops of the trench walls. Although 18 arenas are included, the only major differences between them are the textures applied to the walls, sky, and floors. Virtually every level plays exactly the same.
The sheer simplicity of the single-player experience suggests that No Escape was meant to be primarily a multiplayer game. To that end, it appears relatively complete. There are seven game modes, including no escape (the money-collecting deathmatch variant from the single-player mode), team no escape, knockout match (deathmatch), team knockout match, tag, capture the flag, and countdown. Countdown is an interesting twist on deathmatch in which a time bomb is strapped to the back of each player. When the bomb's timer reaches zero, it explodes, but you can add time to the counter by shooting other players. A built-in game finder is included with No Escape, but unfortunately, after repeated searches, we found no online servers up and running. On the other hand, the utter absence of other players should make it much easier to rocket your way to number one in the worldwide ranking service Funcom packaged with the game. There's an option to play against bots, but even at the hardest skill level, they tend to be very easy to beat, and they can often be found ignoring important power-ups or simply standing around while you shoot them.
There really isn't much reason to recommend No Escape. It simply seems like a cool visual effect in search of a game. Even so, if you could find someone to play it with, the multiplayer mode - and countdown in particular - could offer a few mindless thrills.

|ESPN.com: NFL
|[Print without images]
IRVING, Texas -- In the Top 25 for the first time since 1985, the SMU men's basketball program is garnering a lot of attention, even from the Dallas Cowboys' coaching staff.
|SMU coach Larry Brown is "working the whole time, coaching every minute, coaching all the players, all parts of the game," Jason Garrett says.
Coach Jason Garrett and many of his assistants watched Larry Brown put his team through a practice on Tuesday.
"He's working the whole time, coaching every minute, coaching all the players, all parts of the game," Garrett told WFAA-TV.
In their second season under the 73-year-old Hall of Fame coach, the No. 23 Mustangs moved into the AP Top 25 this week for the first time since the next-to-last poll of 1984-85, a season when they reached as high as No. 2.
Garrett likes to take trips during the offseason to watch other coaches work. Two years ago he visited with Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski. Last year he spent time with the New York Yankees and manager Joe Girardi in spring training, and Girardi watched a Cowboys practice one day last summer in Oxnard, Calif. Garrett also speaks often with Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle.
Brown told WFAA-TV that it's important for a coach to be adaptable, a trait he said he believes Garrett possesses.
"You don't always have all the guys that you want," Brown said, "so the most important thing is, teach 'em up and make 'em better."
Garrett and quarterback Tony Romo watched SMU beat Temple last week at Moody Coliseum.
"You can just tell there's such a good culture they're developing here, and it starts with [Brown] and his staff," Garrett told WFAA-TV. "It's fun for us to be here watching these guys play and develop and grow and really develop into a really good basketball team."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
