The M.S. in Mass Communications with a concentration in integrated public relations and advertising is a joint degree offered in collaboration with Fudan University in Shanghai, one of VCU's 16 recognized international partners, and VCU's School of Mass Communications. It is designed to educate Chinese students for the practice, in China, of professional public relations and/or advertising. Because in many agencies and organizations public relations and advertising are integrated, we are integrating the two professional disciplines in one degree program. The program is for Chinese students who have undergraduate degrees from a Chinese institution and who are already working or aspire to work in China for a public relations or advertising agency or an agency that combines the two persuasive communication disciplines. It is also open to students in the U.S. with the same undergraduate education and a desire to work in an internationally active public relations or advertising agency that does business in Asia/China. The program will prepare its students to function at a higher professional level than they can attain with their current academic and professional credentials.
This is a 30-credit program comprising 15 credit hours of VCU courses and 15 credit hours of Fudan University courses. All but one of the courses, a 1-credit thesis/project course, would be taught in Shanghai at Fudan University; the VCU courses would be taught by VCU faculty and the Fudan courses by Fudan faculty. The 1-credit thesis/project course is taught in a two-week residency at VCU in Richmond. VCU courses are taught in three-week blocks in Fudan's winter/spring semester (January through May), on Fridays and Saturdays, totaling 45 hours of instruction per 3-credit course. The 1-credit thesis/project course is taught in Richmond at VCU during the VCU summer session. Fudan courses are taught over regular Fudan University fall semesters prior to and following the VCU courses.
All students are required to demonstrate proficiency in a suite of software programs commonly used by public relations and advertising practitioners before enrolling in their first VCU course.
Students graduating from this program will:

Steve LaTourette remains on the march against the tea party
Blog Entry:
November 07, 2013 11:07 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
Attention, Steve LaTourette haters: You might as well just skip to the next item.
Mr. LaTourette, former Republican U.S. representative from Geauga County who now heads the
Main Street Advocacy
group, is featured prominently in
New York Times
about the GOP establishment's effort to marginalize its tea party faction.
Main Street Advocacy on Wednesday launched an ad campaign that cites what it calls a "Hall of Shame," including Rep. Todd Akin, Republican of Missouri, who lost his bid for the Senate last year, despite a tea party endorsement, after he said a "legitimate rape" rarely causes pregnancy,
The Times
It also "pokes fun at conservative groups like the
Club for Growth
Freedom Works
— stamping the word 'Defund' over their names — because they recently pushed Congress to shut down the federal government in an effort to block financing for President Obama's health care program."
Mr. LaTourette tells the paper, "We want our party back. And we are going to do what it takes to accomplish that."
The ad was previewed Tuesday during a fundraiser in New York City hosted by Mr. LaTourette. (Tea party people
won't like that.) Main Street Advocacy "is trying to raise $8 million to help eight Republican moderates either defend their congressional seats in the 2014 midterm elections or to oust Tea Party-endorsed candidates already in office," according to the story.
Barney Keller, a spokesman for the Club for Growth, tells
The Times
that Mr. LaTourette's group is wasting its money going after a rival political action committee. Mr. LaTourette, he adds, has been working as a lobbyist since he left Congress and so now is trying to help corporate America reassert its control over Congress.
"They can attack the Club all they want, and I hope they spend their money doing so," Mr. Keller says. "We look forward to adding to the ranks of pro-growth conservatives in Congress next year."
Mr. LaTourette acknowledges his group faces a big challenge.
"We are behind the curve with our more conservative counterparts," he says. "They have built grass-roots networks and databases of conservative voters. That is part of this project."
This and that
Not seeing the light
one more reason it's not pleasant to be in the hospital.
"Patients in an average hospital room are exposed to so little light during the day that their bodies cannot adopt a normal sleep-wake cycle," Reuters reports, based on a small study led by Esther Bernhofer, a nurse researcher at the
Cleveland Clinic's Nursing Institute
Researchers "found the lowest levels of daytime light exposure were tied to worse mood and more fatigue and pain among patients, compared to those whose rooms were better-lit during the day," according to the story.
"Until now, no one has looked at the associations among light and outcomes such as sleep, mood and pain experienced in the hospital," Ms. Bernhofer tells Reuters. "This study forms a basis for testing future lighting interventions to improve sleep-wake patterns, mood and pain in hospitalized adults."
The story notes that past research has shown that exposure to light during the day is important for setting the body's internal clock. "Too little light and too much — or exposure to light at the wrong times — can affect sleep quality at night and mood during the day," Reuters says.
Plenty of room:
A housing vacancy overhang is "holding back construction activity," the chief economist of real estate data firm Trulia Inc.
, and Cleveland is one of the places where the problem is particularly bad.
"The vacancy rate is higher today than it was before the bubble in 86 of the 100 largest metros," Jed Kelko writes. "That means that the elevated vacancy rate at the national level is widespread at the metro level, too."
There was huge variation in the October data on vacant homes, from a low of 3% in San Jose to a high of 19% in Detroit.
"No other metro approaches Detroit's high vacancy rate, but the other highest-vacancy metros include two types of metros: (1) other Rust Belt towns, like Gary and Cleveland, and (2) Sun Belt spots like Las Vegas and several Florida metros," Mr. Kelko writes. "Detroit, Gary, and Cleveland all have faced slow economic growth over several decades, and metros with slow growth (or worse, declining population or employment) tend to have more vacant homes."
Cleveland has a housing vacancy rate of 11.4%, the seventh-worst in the country and 3.9 percentage points above the rate in April 2000, Trulia data show.
Digital first = Pulp finished?:
So long,
"Journal Register Co."
that Journal Register, the company that publishes
The (Lake County) News-Herald
The (Lorain) Morning Journal
, changed its name to Pulp Finish I Co. after selling its newspapers and emerged from Chapter 11 last week under a reorganization plan approved on Oct. 15 when the bankruptcy judge in Manhattan signed a confirmation order.
The disclosure statement "told unsecured creditors they won't recover more than 5 percent and might get nothing," Bloomberg says.
Journal Register filed for Chapter 11 reorganization in September 2012 and sold its newspaper business to lender and owner Alden Global Capital Ltd., mostly in exchange for $114.2 million in secured debt and $6 million in cash, according to the story.
"After debts with higher priority were paid, what's left from the cash and a $630,000 tax refund represented most of the unsecured creditors' recovery, the New York-based company has said," Bloomberg reports.
Journal Register "listed assets of $235 million and liabilities totaling $268.6 million," according to the story. "At the outset of the new Chapter 11 case, debt included about $13.2 million on a revolving credit. Alden had two term loans totaling $152.3 million, acquired from lenders in the prior bankruptcy."

Twelve people are under arrest after FBI agents swarm a Poughkeepsie store. YNN's Elaina Athans tells us about the raid and how the city is responding.
POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. -- A Poughkeepsie store right along heavily trafficked Main Street was raided by the FBI and it lead to a dozen arrests. Boost Mobile by all accounts, according to signs, looks like a place that offers cell phone services. But the U.S. Attorney's office says it was the epicenter of a "dangerous, destructive and potentially lethal heroin operation."
"I am surprised. I'm surprised that it's closed right now. I'm shocked," said resident Raheim Abdel.
The investigation into the drug ring started December of last year. Indictments were handed up and 12 people were arrested. All are from Poughkeepsie.
"A lot of intelligence, a lot of detail, a lot of information, a lot of planning go into these kind of operations," said City of Poughkeepsie Mayor John Tkazyik. This is the first FBI raid in Poughkeepsie in more than five years. It comes just after the city joined a partnership.
"The Safe Streets Task Force recently last year has made arrests similar in Newburgh, so we participate," said Tkazyik.
The task force is a collaborative initiative pulling resources together from regional and federal police.
"This type of activity plagues our streets, our neighborhoods, our schools. And this send a clear message to those criminals that the City of Poughkeepsie is not going to tolerate this and you will be placed behind bars where you belong," said Tkazyik.
All of the defendants were arraigned Thursday. Five of the twelve were already in custody before the raid facing other charges.

"Shoes? No, I can certainly afford them; I go barefoot for comfort."For whatever reason, this character tries to avoid wearing shoes whenever possible. One reason can be to show that they are connected to the soil in some way. Extreme cases may have elemental or nature-linked powers that are weakened or neutralised if they don't have skin contact with the ground, but it's frequently just a metaphor. The Nature Hero, Barbarian Hero, Noble Savage, Hot Gypsy Woman, and Jungle Princess are often barefoot. This is also sometimes a sign of youthful innocence, and many of the characters who demonstrate this trope are either children or childlike. It can also be a sign of eccentricity or absentmindedness; Bunny Ears Lawyers and Cloudcuckoolanders may go barefoot in public because they are either flouting societal conventions or are simply oblivious to them. Sometimes they simply can't afford shoes - see Barefoot Poverty. If they grew up poor they may simply not feel the need even if their station in society has risen. Most Asian martial arts are practiced barefoot, whether in training or competition, and as a result martial artist characters are often Flanderized into being barefoot at all times. Ditto for gymnasts and swimmers. Finally it can be because there's something special and non-human about their feet. Their feet might be so tough they don't need shoes at all, or so large or oddly-shaped that nothing available will fit. This is one of the standard racial attributes of Hobbits. Furries have a tendency to be unshod, leading to a society of Barefoot Cartoon Animals, unless they're The One Who Wears Shoes. Or maybe their Handy Feet are just as much gripping appendages as their hands are. Quite definitely Truth in Television. In Real Life, many people go barefoot because they simply find it more comfortable than wearing shoes. This is backed up by an increasing amount of research, particularly on running, that not wearing shoes can dramatically reduce injury rates, while both barefooting and the use of minimalist shoes are steadily growing in various types of running. And, intuitively, if your feet smell or feel less pained upon taking off your shoes, you have to figure your body was in need of a little barefoot time. It may be easier for some in a rural area, as urban sidewalks and roads are quite abrasive to bare feet. And that's not limited to humans: horseshoes exist for the same reason. It also varies by region; some countries are more barefoot-friendly than others (Australia and New Zealand, for instance). In some parts of the world, it's even common for children to attend school barefoot, and not just in poverty-stricken countries where shoes are rare. And in many parts of the world, it's considered unhygienic and impolite to wear outdoor shoes inside your own or someone else's home. This trope is often used, on a TV show or movie, as an excuse to show frequent close-up shots of bare feet, usually due to Fanservice or Author Appeal (both, if you're Quentin Tarantino), which may explain why these characters' feet are very rarely visibly dirty or calloused.

Ex-Celtic Pierce selling Boston-area home
Updated On: Nov 11 2013 09:41:20 AM EST
Former Boston Celtics star Paul Pierce is following Kevin Garnett's lead and selling his Boston-area home.
Pierce, who along with Garnett was traded in June to the Brooklyn Nets, has put his Lincoln home on the market for almost $2.65 million.
Images: Paul Pierce's house on market
That's a bargain compared to Garnett's former Concord home, which was put up for sale last month for $5.85 million.
The Boston Globe reports that Pierce's 7,300-square-foot house has five bedrooms and bathrooms, custom cabinetry, a gourmet kitchen, and windows overlooking a large private backyard.
The listing says the "gracious, architect-designed contemporary combines sleek design with traditional attention to detail, such as the beautiful use of woods and quality craftsmanship."
The pair helped lead the Celtics to the 2008 NBA championship.

Thousands of people in the southern Kyrgyz city of Osh have rallied in support of the city's mayor following rumours that he was sacked by the country's interim government.
The protest was launched on Friday to back Mayor Melis Myrzakmatov, a vocal critic of the country's interim government.
Myrzakmatov had not been heard from since attending meetings with the government in the capital earlier this week.
But he returned to Osh on Friday and addressed the crowd of about 3,000 people in the city's main square, saying he would defy government efforts to have him fired.
"I am going nowhere. I am with the people, I am with you," Myrzakmatov said to loud cheers.
The interim government of Kyrgyzstan has struggled to impose its authority in the south since assuming power after a revolt toppled the administration of president Kurmanbek Bakiyev in April.
Bakiyev, who is in exile in Belarus, retains strong political support in the south of Kyrgyzstan, which is also his family's stronghold.
'Government offer'
Myrzakmatov's show of force on Friday challenged the authority of the interim government.
But Azimbek Beknazarov, a deputy head of the interim government, also appeared at the Osh rally in an attempt to reassure residents that Myrzakmatov was not dismissed.
Beknazarov told the protesters that Myrzakmatov was still the mayor of Osh, in spite of being offered a position in the interim government.
"They offered Melis many different positions but he refused," he said.
Earlier, Farid Niyazov, a spokesman for Kyrgyzstan's interim government, also said that no order was ever issued to sack the mayor.
"Protesters are demanding the mayor be restored to office, although there has been no such order to remove him from the post," Niyazov was quoted as saying by the state news agency.
Divided country
Friday's rally came ahead of the country's general elections scheduled to be held on October 10.
"If the demands of the Kyrgyz people and the votes of the southern capital Osh are not heard, we will boycott the parliament [and] the parliamentary elections, which will be held this autumn," Toktosh Alunbekov, a protester in Osh, said.
Al Jazeera's Robin Forestier-Walker, reporting from neighbouring Kazakhstan, said that the government in Kyrgyzstan faces many challenges to keep the divided country together ahead of the upcoming elections.
"Not least of which is this mayor in Osh, who is the only surviving official from the Bakiyev regime.
"And among the ethnic Uzbek community, many believe he may have played a hand in the violence that took place in June," our correspondent said, referring to intense clashes that erupted in the south between ethnic Kyrgyz and Uzbeks in June in which nearly 400 people were killed.
"The mayor himself denies this, but he has been standing firm amid rumours that the government would try to remove him."

LOL You gals are funny!!!!
I found it in the Hawaiian Dictionary...
Ahole: An endemic fish found in both fresh and salt water. The mature stage is ahole, the young stage aholehole. Because of the meaning of "hole," to strip away, this fish was used for magic, as to chase away evil spirits and for love magic. It was also called a "sea pig" and used ceremonially as a substitute for pig.
And Cara... you are on the right track.... Foreigners were sometimes called ahole because of the light skin of the fish.
I don't know if this is a true picture but they sure are pretty!

For higher pressures:
100 - 200 psi use 60:1 solution
200 - 300 psi use 70:1 solution
300 - 400 psi use 80:1 solution
400 psi and higher increase solution up to 140:1
Metal Surfaces
Citrus Clean can be used on Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Magnesium or Chrome at a 20:1 solution to remove or inhibit salt pits, rust and water stains. Will not leave streaks on Aluminum.
Used at a 20:1 solution, Citrus Clean can solve these problems:
For stacks, spray directly on and rinse off surface when carbon appears to run.
When using for dripping (in extreme cases), mix a 7:1 solution, soak for one hour, then rinse. For example; carbon on piston heads, epoxy glues, silicone, seals and gaskets.
Citrus Clean may be used for dipping to remove carbon deposits from piston heads, epoxy glues, surface rust and heavy degreasing. Some examples are engines, spare parts, metals (finished or unfinished), and many other tough problems.
When dipping, use a 7:1 solution and soak for approximately two hours.
If necessary, rinse with water to remove light oil film.
Solution may be filtered and re-used when soiled.
Citrus Clean has been successfully used on all types of aircraft. Removal of carbon, paint oxidation and canvas on spray planes, helicopters, dispersal of water on windows - prevents beading.
Citrus Clean has been extensively tested for safety. To see our Material Safety Data Sheet

It sounds highbrow on paper?
While eating a $1,000 ice cream sundae.
Namely, what percentage of your salary they might cost.
He also says he will donate $100,000 to a family in need if someone buys one of those Birkin photos.
No one appreciates good art these days.
Plus, Juicy Couture's new look book and more.
"I'm a bit weird with underwear. If I've gone more than about six hours in the same pair, I need to change them."
Why, what could be a better thing to spend that money on? It goes to charity!
So if you have $10,000 or so to spare, you can have one!
The designer carries the multi-thousand-dollar bag to the beach. For fun.
But they still plan to churn out plenty of Birkin bags.
Also, Bill Clinton was reportedly a hit with the models at the Life Ball over the weekend.
A woman was fined $7.5 million for selling FOUR fake Birkins.
Style.com has a video tribute to its very own Candy Pratts Price, shown at the CFDA awards, where she was honored Monday. And we gotta say, it's amazing.

Anythink Foundation
The Anythink Foundation supports innovation and creativity in Adams County by raising private funds for special programs and projects at Anythink. This support helps the library continue its mission to "open doors for curious minds" as a dynamic center for engagement.
How you can help
It's through the help of individual donors like you that the Anythink Foundation is able to fund innovative projects and programs. Supporting the Foundation is easy.
Set it, and forget it! All it takes is $2 per month. Click on "donate now" to set up automatic payments. Even a small amount makes a big impact.
Or, make a one-time donation online or at your local Anythink.
What We Support
Funds raised by the Anythink Foundation support programs and services in four key areas:
- Capital projects
- Public art
- Expansion of collections
- Exceptional programs, activities and computer education
Backyard Concert Series
Each summer, the Anythink Backyard Concert Series brings eclectic music to the backyard at Anythink Wright Farms. This free, family-friendly event helps bring the community together through music the second Friday of the month, June-August. Funds raised through food and beverage sales benefit the Anythink Foundation. Some of the past bands include Blue Canyon Boys, Chimney Choir, Gora Gora Orkestar, Dan Treanor's Afrosippi Band and more.
Nature Explore
The Anythink Foundation, along with Adams County Open Spaces, and generous individual donors helped to launch the first Nature Explore outdoor classroom at Anythink Wright Farms in Thornton, Colo. These unique outdoor spaces connect children with nature in a way that supports creativity and learning. With spaces for making music, performing, building, and playing, the Nature Explore outdoor classroom is a natural extension of the play and exploration that happens within the library walls.
This is Who We Are
Anythink's collaborative public art project "This is Who We Are" partners community members with local artists to create public art pieces that represent the fabric of the community. The first project launched at Anythink Bennett in December 2011 with the help of funds raised by the Anythink Foundation.
This unique project brought people together to create an incredible art piece that lives on in the library. Plans are underway to launch similar projects at each of Anythink's locations. Through individual contributions and the help of the Anythink Foundation, each local Anythink will include a piece of art that reflects the spirit of the community it serves.
Who we are
Formed in 2009, the Anythink Foundation is a 501 (c) 3 developed to raise private funds for Anythink Libraries. The Anythink Foundation helps Adams County residents and the library to shoot for the moon and tap into their best selves. By supporting initiatives that help enhance people's quality of life, Anythink becomes more than a library; it becomes a destination.
The projects funded by the Anythink Foundation fall outside of the scope of the district's normal operations. Initiatives like Anythink's public art projects, creativity labs, special programs and more are eligible for funding through the Anythink Foundation. And at Anythink, there's never a lack of new ideas sprouting.
The Anythink Foundation Board is made up of volunteer board members who are leaders in their fields throughout Adams County.

Classic Games to Collect
With vibrant lithographed imagery, turn-of-the-century parlor games claim a monopoly on fun.
By Katy McColl
Three-Dimensional Games
Every major Victorian-era toy manufacturer sold some version of Fish Pond, a diversion that enabled the whole family to enjoy Fathers favorite pastime by reeling in cardboard herrings at home. This 1890 edition by McLoughlin Brothers relies on tiny rods with hooks (others employed magnets) to snare the quarry. A complete assemblage is a catch at $350.

WHAT IS IT? The Bazzaz fuel-injection tuning equipment uses an oxygen sensor in the head pipe and lets you make custom fuel maps for your track and riding style.
WHAT'S IT COST? $324.95 (MX Fuel Controller), $349.95 (Z-AFM kit)
CONTACT? www.bazzaz.net or (909) 597-8300.
WHAT STANDS OUT? Here's a list of things that stand out with the Bazzaz MX Fuel Controller and Z-AFM kit.
(1) History. Ammar Bazzaz was a race engineer at Yoshimura's AMA Superbike program for six years. Ammar started his own electronic fuel-injection company in 2003 (for street bikes). His plan was to develop his tuners with race teams first, and then bring the product down to the consumer level for the local rider. Now that fuel injection has moved to the dirt market, Bazzaz has expanded its focus. Bazzaz didn't sell products under their name originally, but instead they made the PIM and Data Box for Yoshimura. The Yosh PIM2 and Data Box are identical to the Bazzaz hardware, but the Bazzaz software has extra features.
(2) Prerequisites. You will need an IBM-compatible computer to run the Bazzaz software. A laptop is preferable so you can take it to the track, but the controller can be removed and taken inside to your desktop computer if necessary. A bung-equipped head pipe is required for the oxygen sensor.
(3) Hardware. The Bazzaz FI MX Fuel Controller is similar to other fuel-injection tuners in that it allows the user to adjust fuel delivery in one percent increments at specified throttle openings and rpm. It can be switched between two maps without a computer. Where the Bazzaz equipment separates itself from its competitors is with the Z-AFM (Air Fuel Mapping) kit. The Z-AFM allows the user to choose multiple air/fuel ratios at different throttle/rpm ranges. To achieve this, it uses a head pipe-mounted air/fuel sensor that collects data as the rider does laps. The unit records the data and ultimately recommends the necessary changes to reach the target mixture. In essence, it is self-mapping.
(4) Performance. The self-mapping feature is neat, but it doesn't take all the guesswork out of the process. The air/fuel ratios still have to be determined. On the track, testers can definitely feel changes. The more heavily modified the bike, the better this equipment works. With a stock bike, you can tune the feel, but you won't see huge performance gains. Bikes with any number of internal engine mods better appreciate the fuel-injection massage. Again, the Bazzaz tuner does not make more horsepower?it just repositions it based on fuel input.
WHAT'S THE SQUAWK? There are three downsides. (1) Head pipe bung. Yoshimura sells a ready-to-go head pipe, but modifying other headpipes for the oxygen sensor is a chore and can be costly on titanium pipes. (2) Ignition. Bazzaz is working on a version that can change the ignition timing as well as fuel timing. It isn't ready yet, though, and the MX Fuel Controller and Z-AFM are limited to fuel map changes only. (3) Difficulty. The MXA test crew has vast experience with aftermarket mapping programs, so the Bazzaz stuff was a snap for us. But for the inexperienced backyard tuner, there will be some serious head-scratching.
Bazzaz may be unknown right now, but as more fuel-injected bikes hit the market, their EFI tuning equipment will become more acceptable to the masses. It's a little too soon at the moment.

But since this piece is such a beat down to stitch (mainly because of the tension differences in the stitches which can't really be helped, and I'm not sure what I can do about it), I find myself wanting to work on something at the opposite end of the spectrum. Something that doesn't make my eyes cross.
So, I've been working on another old WIP (I know, they're neverending). This is Sweet Treats by Country Cottage Needleworks. This piece was a series of chart packs with Crescent Colors thread and JABC buttons. I finally finished the border and have now moved on to the second chart pack, which is Cupcake. I am stitching this on 28ct Vintage Lentil.
It's an easy break from Hare Pyns.
Also over the weekend, I spent some time sewing the binding on a quilt. I finally finished it last night and am looking forward to sharing it with you. I'm totally in the mood now to work on quilts. I spent some time this weekend cutting out some more hexagon templates so that I can get back to working on my hexagon quilt. I also made a little trip up to my local quilt shop and saw that they were starting to get the new Christmas lines in. Now I'm jonesing to work on Christmas quilts! I have at least three planned and have most of the fabric I need for all three. There's a fourth I just remembered I want to make too, but no fabric for it yet. But doesn't this pretty Christmas fabric make you want to start some holiday projects?
Oh I'm just dying to get my sewing machine out and start piecing some quilt tops! I can't wait to get started! (OMGthoseowlsaresofreakingcuteIdie.)
So that's what I'm up to. Tonight I'll be back to working on Hare Pyns, in an attempt to get that front flap done. But maybe over the holiday weekend I can sneak in some sewing. And I'll for sure be sharing my newly finished quilt soon too!
I am grateful for inspiration and a sense of accomplishment.

Out of 26 million Texans, you may have an idea to change the world. You may have had several ideas to change the world. But only a tiny minority of you pushed through the U.S. Patent office from application to successful patent. We've seen Texans change the world many times over. Jack Kilby did it with Texas Instruments in 1958 with the integrated circuit, causing the start of the digital revolution, which, in part, is why you can read these words over your electronic device.
Over the last few years, Texas Business has brought its feature: Texas Business Patent of the Day. This list is of the ones that were either extremely clever, odd or strange. One thing becomes apparent from these patents and the patent that runs daily in Texas Business—Texans have a unique mind set.
Though the history of the Corn Dog is disputed, the State Fair of Texas claims to have introduced the Corny Dog sometime between 1938 and 1942. As a paean to that invention that now sits in the freezer section of every grocery store in the southwest, here are the fried foods the State Fair of Texas has introduced, or tried to introduce, in the last seven years.
Dead Texas musicians live on every time you hear their songs. Their songs play everywhere, so the dead Texas musicians appear to be immortal. Here's the short list.
Don't get caught up with John Wayne religion. For one thing, he's not Texan. He's in some fine movies involving Texas, most notably The Searchers, but none of his movies can make the best cut of Texas movies. Here's the short list.
Tourist Traps. Some are absurdly large. All are monuments to the bizarre notions of the human spirit.
The short simple list.
Nothing to agonize over. Simply the best.
Texas Business Patent of the Day: Two Texans have improved the lowly box cutter.
Raymond E. Davis of Heath, Texas, and Clifton G. Hampton of Burleson, Texas, recently received U.S. Patent 8,220,160 for "Box Cutter with Grip-Actuated Blade Extension."
The two men applied for the patent more than five years ago on April 16, 2007.
The patent assignee is ADCO Industries-Technologies LP of Dallas.
The invention relates generally to utility knives, and in particular to hand-held box cutters of the type used in various trades and crafts to cut sheet material and to open cardboard boxes, according to the patent documents.
Utility knives, commonly known as box cutters, include a handle in which a blade is secured for cutting a variety of materials. Adjustable-blade utility knives in which a replaceable, single-edge blade having a very sharp cutting edge is slideably-retained within a handle assembly have found widespread use in a variety of industries, for a variety of tasks, for example, shipping-and-receiving, drywall construction, wallpapering and tile-laying.
Tradesmen use such utility knives to cut paper stock, plastic sheeting, linoleum, carpets, thin wood panels, wall paper, banding straps, tape and sealed plastic sacks containing bulk materials. Stocking clerks use box cutters to open cardboard cartons, for example in grocery stores, supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants and other retail establishments. Of special interest are sealed containers and boxes constructed of paperboard, usually corrugated cardboard, in which individually packaged items are shipped. Typically, cardboard containers are taped or glued shut. When a cardboard container is to be opened, a slicing movement is made by pulling the knife rapidly across the top or side of the container to obtain a clean, straight cut.
Sharp blades are required for efficient opening of cartons, and a very sharp single-edged razor blade is commonly used for that purpose. This simple task has resulted in many on-the-job personal injuries. A cardboard carton is generally held steady in front of the operator with one hand and is cut by pulling the knife with the other hand toward the operator across the top or sidewall of the carton. Because such use frequently involves quick hand movements, and the cardboard presents considerable resistance to cutting, hand and wrist muscle fatigue become a serious concern. Moreover, operator flesh wounds are likely when the knife blade travels free at the end of a cut and catches the operator's hand, fingers, arm, waist or leg. Consequently, special attention must be given to box cutter design features that will protect the operator who must work quickly and repetitively. Boxes containing goods, such as canned goods, bottles, or other boxed grocery items, are often cut along a top edge around the perimeter of the box to remove a top portion of the box, or around an end edge to remove an end portion, exposing the items therein. It is preferable to cut open the box without cutting the contents within the box. It may be difficult, undesirable, and impermissible to sell merchandise that has been cut while opening the shipping box. For these reasons, it is preferable to make an accurate cut along the top edge of the box that avoids cutting the contents therein by cutting above the contents. On the other hand, persons opening boxes and stocking shelves are often under time constraints and economic constraints regarding the time and cost consumed in stocking the shelves. There is also a comfort factor to consider because a grocery stock clerk, for example, may make hundreds of cuts per day. Therefore, a box cutter needs to be easy to use repeatedly over long periods of time, without impairing operator performance or safety because of muscle fatigue. Another area of concern is blade access and retention. In conventional box cutter knives, a replacement blade is retained by a keeper plate that is confined in a lower groove and an upper groove formed in the handle. The blade is removed from the knife by extending the keeper plate and blade assembly all the way forward out of the knife, which permits the blade to separate from its engagement with the keeper plate. In some cases, especially when the keeper plate is extended completely forward with some force, the blade will simply fall from the handle by its own weight, resulting in a dropped blade. Thus, improved blade retention means needs to be provided for retaining the blade safely within the handle until such time as access is needed for blade replacement, so that the blade may be manually and safely removed by the operator. An edge guide on a box cutter provides a number of useful advantages. An edge guide allows an operator to quickly and accurately make a cut at a fixed distance from an edge. A guide allows the operator to repeatedly make cuts at a certain angle. A guide allows the operator to make more consistent cuts. An edge guide also allows the operator to make a cut with less effort and less energy exerted. For example, it is usually easier to make a cut with a pulling motion when the user can lean on the guide while pulling, as the guide slides across an edge. Also, the guide allows the operator to make a cut at a precise location with less effort to maintain a stable position of the blade relative to the edge while cutting. Therefore, the use of an edge guide may allow the operator to make the same number of cuts per day more consistently while using less effort and energy, thereby reducing muscle fatigue. Conventional edge guides provide ways to accurately and quickly cut along an edge of a box at a certain distance from the edge and at a certain angle. However, box cutters are not only used to make edge cuts, but are also often used for other types of cuts, such as cutting a taped edge, where the fixed guard may interfere with or preclude other types of cuts. Also, some edge guards do not provide safety features that will adequately protect a user during repeated rapid cuts. Thus, a need exists for a utility knife configured for reducing repetitive motion injuries caused by hand and wrist muscle fatigue and thumb manipulation to extend the blade, that will enable the operator to repeatedly, accurately and quickly cut open boxes without cutting the contents therein and without compromising the safety of the operator. Yet another area of concern in box cutter design is blade extension and retraction, which require a high level of manual dexterity, hand coordination and hand strength. Safety and ease of use have been improved by automatic blade retraction. A conventional box-cutter knife with automatic blade retraction has a housing forming a hand grip handle, a blade holder slidable in the housing, and a blade carried in the holder between a front position in which the blade projects forward from the front end of the housing and a retracted position in which the blade is enclosed within the housing. A spring is provided that continuously urges the blade and holder into the rear position. A thumb button is provided which allows the user to push the blade out and hold it extended for cutting action. When the thumb button is released, the spring automatically urges the blade in retraction back into the housing. Such a knife is considered safe, since the blade will retract automatically except when the thumb button is extended. However, this arrangement is inconvenient as the operator must maintain pressure on the thumb button to use the knife, which causes muscle fatigue after repetitive use, and prevents the thumb from being used to maneuver the knife and establish a firm grip, resulting in a reduction of stability and control during heavy cutting jobs. Davis and Hampton devised an automatic blade-retracting box cutter utility knife with a handle with ergonomic hand grip proportions for comfortable gripping and handling during repetitive cutting operations. The principal components of the knife that require operator access are mounted on the handle at locations that are symmetrically disposed relative to the cutting plane of the working blade. A blade-actuating hand-grip lever is mounted on the handle for movement about a pivotal axis. A blade shuttle is coupled to the hand-grip lever and is received in a guide channel formed in the handle for carrying a working blade from a rear retracted end position in which a working blade is wholly received in the handle, to a front extended end position in which a working blade is extended forward from the handle. The blade shuttle is extended in response to squeezing or gripping actuation of the hand-grip lever, and automatically retracts when the hand-grip lever is released. Extension and retraction forces are transferred from the hand-grip lever to a compression spring and to the blade shuttle via a power transmission assembly that includes a torque plate that is mounted for clockwise and counterclockwise rotation on the handle. The energy provided by hand-grip actuation is stored in a compression spring that is coupled between the handle and the hand-grip lever. The blade shuttle is retracted in response to expansion of the compression spring when the hand-grip lever is released. A depth of cut adjustment assembly is integrated with the power transmission assembly. Depth of cut, or blade extension, is selectively set to a desired depth of cut by manual adjustment of a rotary dial, which limits pivoting travel of the gripping lever during hand grip actuation. Top access to a working blade and a replacement blade stored on the shuttle is provided on top of the handle for blade loading and security. The working blade and one or more replacement blades are securely retained in top loading compartments formed between the sidewalls of the blade shuttle. A window formed in the top of the handle provides operator access for loading and replacing blades. The window is closed by a blade cover that is pivotally attached to the handle, thereby providing a protective covering over the blade receiving compartment in a closed position, and providing operator access to the blade receiving compartment in an open position. The handle has a blade extension port that is wedge-shaped in profile, being narrow at the top and relatively wide at the bottom. During a cutting operation, the working blade is locked against deflection on both sides and along the top and bottom of the blade. This prevents buckling of the blade as the cutter blade is undergoing heavy cutting action. Dual edge guide members are mounted for independent extension and retraction movement, enabling use by left handed as well as right-handed operators. A fixed blade stub projects from the rear of the housing for quick tape cutting jobs. The exposed cutting edges and corners are relatively blunt for personal safety and product protection. The fixed blade stub is mounted on the butt end of the handle and can be used while the cutting blade is locked in the fully retracted position, thus improving operator safety when using the knife to perform tape cutting operations that do not require a sharp cutting edge.
The Texas News Scrawl is a handy reference to stories Texas Business recommends from other news sources. Some of the stories that Texas Business currently suggests include: Texas regulators not aware of potential CFTC manipulation probe, Irving spends incentive dollars to lure two corporate headquarters and almost 2,000 jobs; Hotels, restaurant operators prep for record Final Four; Star-Telegram presses roll one last time; Robert Rodriguez breathes new life into an old vampire favorite; ClubCorp buys Prestonwood Country Club in Dallas and Plano; Office Depot overcharged Dallas by up to $3.6 million, city auditor finds; Texas power market monitor resigns amid unresolved reform debate; and more.

The 162-year-old gristmill used to make cornmeal is still out of commission. But that won't prevent business as usual from taking place when Graue Mill and Museum opens April 15 for its 2014 season.
The mill was shut down a year ago after problems were found following major mid-April flooding in the area, which left more than 4 feet of water in the building's basement. Engineers from the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County, which owns and maintains the grounds, found a split beam in the basement of mill building when they inspected after the flooding occurred.
No cornmeal was made in May or June, but a temporary, smaller grinder was installed and will again be used to make the popular cornmeal.
"We still have some cornmeal left in the freezer and will be making it again with the smaller mill," said Cathy Kolessar, director of operation for Graue Mill and Museum 3800 York Road. "It pretty much will be business as usual for us when we open; we just can't run the big mill."
Kolessar said the mill still would be in place for those interested in seeing it. And officials from the forest preserve district will be deciding on what type of repairs or changes will be made.
"We really don't know a lot about it, other than we've been told we are a priority," Kolessar said.
The museum will continue in 2014 to provide programs for school children on field trips and others, including milling, spinning and weaving, and living history presentations. The museum also has artifacts that illustrate the way of life of area residents between 1850 and 1890 and the impact mills such as Graue Mill had on area culture.
One change for 2014 is that because of restrictions on the number of people allowed in the museum and mill at one time, self-guided tours will be available each hour, on the hour, on weekends and all summer after school is out for the year.
"Before, people could just come in whenever we were open and walk around," Kolessar said. "We just can't have really big groups inside at the same time. It's just a safety issue."
Kolessar said popular programs, such as Cornfest, Civil War Enactment, Underground Railroad, Fine Arts Festival and sheep shearing all are back for 2014. An updated listing of events for the year should be available soon online at http://www.grauemill.org/specialevents.htm, Kolessar said.
"We've also added a few new live performances, mostly musical," she said.
Business hours for the Graue Mill and Museum are 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday to Sunday, except for Easter, when it will be closed. The mill and museum also is closed on Mondays, except for holidays.
For more information about the Graue Mill and Museum, call 630-920-9720.

There was a little more activity than I expected today, but the market finished down 5 points today to 1632. The bears took two shots at 1630 but both times the bulls were able to beat them back. The events in Syria have people a little nervous and there seemed to be a small run for the exits mentality before the holiday weekend.
As it turns out a small divergence has been built and the bulls maybe able to take advantage of the early sessions next week barring some military action over the weekend. The attached chart shows that on a 10 day time frame the level of conviction by the bears to sell this market have waned a little bit and the bulls may be able to step in here. Technicals, however, are in the same boat as pricing. Small volume means not a great tool to use. We have definitely developed a small range of 1630-1640 that everyone seems to be stuck in. We definitely get clarity next week if for no other reason than jobs come out on Friday. In the mean time, Happy Labor Day America.
