Leslie Millerd leads a small army planning Obama's visit. Hundreds of headaches later, she's still stoked.
1 – sitting U.S. president
26 – selfie stations
10 – members in ROTC color guard at UC Irvine
38 – banner carriers
15 – subcommittees established by UCI in anticipation of Obama's speech
1,100 – extra caps and tassles that will be on hand for students who forget theirs
Source: UC Irvine
She'd set her post-retirement trip to Ireland.
She'd prepped for the arrival of her first grandchild.
Her sock drawer cried out to be cleaned.
But when Leslie Millerd got the call to come out of retirement for one last task, her answer was ...
Heck yes!
How often does someone get to plan a party where the guest of honor is the president of the United States?
The call was from her former boss, UC Irvine Vice Chancellor Thomas Parham. He told her he needed someone to head up Obama's commencement address on Saturday at Angel Stadium.
The event would involve 6,375 graduates, 30,000 of their guests, 447 volunteers and 115 dignitaries.
Someone had to do it – run every detail of the military-like operation. And that someone he believed – no, he knew – was Millerd.
As Parham's chief of staff, she had deftly handled previous Big Cheese visits to UCI, like the Dalai Lama, billionaire adventurer Sir Richard Branson and Queen Noor of Jordan.
And Millerd has a knack for bringing people together.
"Come back and make the friendships happen; bring everyone to the table," Millerd said they told her.
"How can you say no?" she added. "I don't care if you're a Democrat, a Republican, a Libertarian; it's our president. The pride is over the top."
After accepting, Millerd practically moved into a conference room on the fourth floor of Aldrich Hall. She has a view of an American flag blowing in the breeze outside the window (pure coincidence).
A few days ago, she stood in a meeting room in front of a white board, looking and even sounding like the actress Kathy Bates. Around a table sat seven women and one man, her core team.

OMG, you updated! *does happy dance*
And it looks like Aragorn and Legolas are in for a long, hard road ahead, doesn't it?!
So glad to see the new chapter appear, and so glad to see that this very young Legolas at least has Haldir to advise him, as he seems far too young to be alone like this, let alone already pregnant by a man whom he barely knows. Hope the next chapter is soon! **looks pleading**
Author's Response: Thank you for the feedback. Indeed, I think Legolas would be a lot worse off without Haldir there.
Oooh, I'm hooked, I'm hooked! More, please!

Pernix Group, Inc. Announces 2013 Financial Results
LOMBARD, Ill., April 1, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pernix Group, Inc. (OTCQB:PRXG) announced its financial results today for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
Pernix Group reported the second highest revenue in its history, with consolidated revenue from continuing operations of $73.8 million in 2013, as compared to $120.0 million in 2012. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to the successful completion or wind down of two large construction projects for the U.S. government. The decrease in construction-related revenues was partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in power generating revenue, which reflects higher usage of diesel power at the Company's power plants in Fiji, as opposed to hydro-electric power, due to climatic conditions and maintenance of hydro facilities in Fiji.
Gross profit from continuing operations was $7.2 million in 2013, as compared to $14.8 million in 2012, driven by the aforementioned decline in revenue in our construction segment. This decline was partially offset by higher revenue and gross margin in the power generating segment, resulting from both higher demand for our power in Fiji and lower maintenance costs. Consolidated operating expenses decreased by $1.0 million, reflecting better absorption of overhead costs in our construction projects that more than offset higher compensation expenses associated with additional resources in our power and construction business development and execution functions. As a result of these factors, operating income (before minority interest) declined to $2.0 million in 2013 from $8.7 million in 2012; after taking into consideration minority interest, operating income was $0.4 million this year, as compared to $2.9 million last year.Pernix Group's consolidated net income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders decreased to ($4.7 million) from $0.4 million. The net loss in 2013 was due primarily to management's decision at the end of the third quarter to increase the valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets by $4.9 million. As a result of the increase in valuation allowance, all of the Company's deferred tax assets are now fully reserved, and all future taxable income would be expected to have a dollar-for-dollar additive impact to stockholders' equity. The increase in valuation allowance is a non-cash expense and has no impact on the Company's liquidity, cash flows or its ability to execute projects or conduct ongoing operations.

ISPConfig 3: cannot remove email alias
I have ISPConfig 3 on Ubuntu 10.04. System has been working great for many months.
Recently, I removed an email alias and need to setup that address as a mailbox.
The new mailbox receives mail, but I cannot log into the account via Roundcube. I get login failed.
If I watch the log, I can see that the alias is still there forwarding mail. When I go into MySQL I can see the account or alias being created then removed when I perform that action from within ISPConfig, so that part is working.
I have added the alias and removed it several times but no success in resolving login failed issue. Is there somewhere else besides MySQL that the alias resides (for example in Postfix somewhere). I could not open/view aliases.db
Thanks, Eric
can anyone help?

Mr. M
February 21, 2012
It's been nearly two decades since Lambchop released its first album, at the time pronouncing itself "Nashville's most fucked-up country band." Provocative it may have been, but the description made sense: at the heart of all that ruckus was a band at once defying and embracing the musical legacy of its hometown. Since then, Lambchop has evolved into an accomplished ensemble, adding palpable depth and substance to singer-songwriter-guitarist Kurt Wagner's songs—and the band sounds as commanding as ever on its 11th album, Mr. M, a collection of meditations on love and loss and the detritus of everyday existence.
Recorded at Mark Nevers's Nashville Beech House studio cum bungalow and dedicated to Vic Chesnutt, Mr. M includes the usual core of musicians- Scott Martin (drums), Matt Swanson (bass), Ryan Norris (guitar, organ), Tony Crow (piano), William Tyler (guitar) and guests include original co-founder Jonathan Marx, delightful Cortney Tidwell (who shared vocals on 2010's KORT project) and fiddler Billy Contreras (who has worked with all from Charlie Louvin to Laura Cantrell) - and with spectacular string arrangements shared between Peter Stopschinski and Mason Neely, it stretches out sonically as promised. (Incidentally the paintings, thickly layered black and white portraits forming a series called Beautillion Millitaire 2000, feature on the album sleeve and throughout the full artwork).
The core of the music remains the cyclical picking of Wagner's guitar and the soft, warm croaking of his voice. The songs are spacious, even dreamy, as on the Countrypolitan instrumental "Gar," while the lyrics and titles are rich with allusions, some of them obvious, others seemingly unknowable.

Yea I wonder how educational this is or is it some Cosmopolitan crap like articles
1josh777 ( ) Nov. 30, 2012 at 5:34am
My husband is a Psychology teacher and has read these at the library and about a week ago his Physical Therapist gave him two of these. He read them and made no mention of crappy stuff. I didnt look at them myself but he would have said something about them if he had found too much junk.
pixelviz ( ) Nov. 30, 2012 at 5:48am
My mother is a practitioner (lucky me) and I've subscribed before. Psychology Today is definitely not Cosmopolitan but it's no Scientific American either. I'd say it is most like The Week. Complex developments are processed and refined to be digested as easily as white bread.
I do find it a quick, interesting read -- just ignore the advertisements that get more and more ridiculous as you flip through the pages.
A handful of articles are free online, but (when I last checked) most are not.
HigherCognition ( ) Nov. 30, 2012 at 5:53am
Why do people read this junk? I wouldn't trust the info printed in here any more than a Cosmo. If you want to read some actual psychology science/news, pick up a real periodical like Psychology Bulletin & Review (granted, those article might also serve as a sleep aid..)

"They" said it was for long term use.... I was given a 30 day script for Lunest back in October of last year and told that I could take it nightly w/o worrying about its effectiveness fading too quickly with time. The first night it worked like magic. I got a full 8 hours of sleep and woke up feeling so great that I actually went and worked out before going to work! However, on the 3rd night of taking my prescribed dose I really noticed that it had no effect on me at all. I might as well have taken a Tylenol PM for the same effect.
Needless to say that after purposely skipping nights of taking it to try and have some tolerance in order for it to continue working on my body, I never recovered from the tolerance that I built up after only a few nights on it.
I have tried Rozerem, Restoril, and Sonota without any success at all. Ambien seemed to be more effective for me but it also would become quickly tolerated after a couple nights of use.
I have now ordered the more 'potent' European version from an online pharmacy since my doctor(s) are all too cautious to try me on anything else like klonopin or xanax for the anxiety that I now suffer from lack of sleeping on a regular basis.
When I did my sleep evaluation I snored due to the fact that I had to sleep on my back (which I never do at home) due to all of the wires that I was hooked up to and as a result they diagnosed me with minor sleep apnea and reccomend a CPAP machine even after explaining that I don't snore when I can sleep on my side like I always do at home... Never mind that my trouble is with falling asleep (and it even took me 4 hours in the lab to fall asleep) and not with waking up gasping for air in the middle of the night...

E 360K • English Grammar
Course Description
The aim of this course is a better understanding of syntax, the structure of sentences. We will divide the semester fairly evenly between the two texts. Kolln's text uses Reed-Kellogg diagrams to represent the structure of sentences concisely. Through weekly exercises, you will learn the powers and limitations of this form of description, which dates from the nineteenth century. In addition to diagramming sentences, you will frequently write out some of the "Questions for Discussion" that appear at the end of each chapter. These questions call upon your understanding of how (and, you may sometimes think, whether) the classification system presented in the chapter applies to constructions that appear to break the rules. The second text, by Baker, presents a version of the generative theory of grammar. This theory involves taking a more empirical approach to describing sentences, as it sees syntax as indicative of the structure of mind and knowledge. The tree diagrams you will construct in working through this text are similar in many respects to Reed-Kellogg diagrams, but trees are more explicit in naming and arranging phrases in a representation that underlies the linear form that actual sentences take. The goal of this course is to survey the full range of sentence patterns in English, to illustrate their structure, and to learn how to explain ambiguities and errors to ourselves and others.
Grading Policy
Work on exercises and class participation 20%
Two 1-hour tests 25% each
Comprehensive final examination 30%
Note: Class participation presupposes regular attendance. There will be no make-up tests or final without a proven medical emergency. Exercises are marked as check, check +, or check -. We will usually discuss the best answers in class. They factor into your grade as follows: all checks = 80 (B-). More than two "check - " or "Inc" lowers that, and two or more late exercises lower it more. [N.B. If your average grade on the exams is better than 80, your exercises won't count against you. The exercise grade is your safety net.]

Justice Prevailed Today
Unfortunately we have had difficulties with one of our neighbors since almost the day we moved into our house. Difficulties that eventually forced us to put up "No trespassing" signs up around the yard, hire lawyers, and send out letters advising the neighbor that he is not welcome on our property, and to stay off of our property.
The neighbor I am writing about is a scary and dangerous man who has threatened to kill everyone in our family. He has threatened to kill us himself, and he has threatened to take out "hits" on us. He has bragged that his concealed weapon permit gives him permission to kill us if he wants to kill us.
We have gone to the police for help on more than one occasion for these threats, and the magistrate refused to do anything about it each time. The neighbor continues to violate the no trespassing orders, and we have filed trespassing complaints and gone to criminal court twice now over those violations. The first time the judge dismissed the case. This time, even though the neighbor claimed that he has never stepped on our property since we purchased it (He has been on our property a lot and caused much aggravation from his presence on our property, which is why we served him with papers to stay off the property) however, the judge found in our favor, and found the neighbor guilty of trespassing.
The neighbor was fined $400. The judge suspended $200 of it. The neighbor was sentenced to 60 days in jail, all suspended. The judge told both of us to have no contact of any kind with each other, and instructed the neighbor to stay off of our property. He warned the neighbor that if he violates the order to stay off of the property within the next two years, that he will have to pay the rest of the fine, and serve all of the jail time.
Upon arriving home, I called the Culpeper Sheriff's Office and left a message for the officer that has been helping me with the troubles with our neighbor to please return my call. Within a few minutes, he called me and I filled him in on the verdict. He was very glad to hear that justice prevailed today, and he agreed to increase the neighborhood patrol to help keep us safer from retribution by the neighbor.
Although I am very glad that the judge found our neighbor guilty of trespassing, I have concerns that the animosity and bad feelings will now escalate into something even more ominous, with sinister results.
We already have a security system installed, and we are going to have a better one installed really soon. My hubby is a crack shot with his guns, and has a concealed weapons permit. I've resisted going to the gun range to learn to shoot, but maybe now is the time to give in and do it, for my protection. I have concerns that the kick-back (recoil) will hurt my hands and/or shoulder. My hubby insists that he has at least two or three guns I could learn to shoot that won't hurt me with their recoil.
We have two very vocal, protective dogs to sound the alarm and help protect us. I don't know, maybe we'll buy a trained guard dog that will attack on command as well. We will have to wait and see.
If anything bad happens to us, and we all end up dead, please tell the police to look very hard at the neighbor that we are having problems with. Thank you all!

Guns guns guns
Yesterday, at around 4:45 pm I was sitting at my computer when I heard a very loud pounding on the front door. I got up from the computer and started to walk towards the door. I could see through the studio windows that the person pounding on the door was our cranky neighbor Mr. X. "Oh great," I thought. "What now?"
Before I could get to the door he used his fist and pounded on the glass storm door so hard that I thought it was going to break! I have no idea why he did not use the doorbell – it works just fine! When I opened the door, I asked him "what can I do for you?."
In response his face contorted in anger, and his neck veins started to pop. He waved his arms around, and started to shake his fist at me. He was shouting that we had no right to touch his rocks at the end of our driveway, and that they were his property. (We had to put our trash cans down there, and the trash cans touched a couple of the rocks.)
Then he started to yell "You tell that husband of yours that I know what you are doing in that garage and I'm not going to let you get away with it!" Shaking his fist and leaning over me he continued to yell "I'll see you in court!"
At that point I saw Michael in the driveway, headed towards the house, and I pointed to him. I said "I'm done with you, there's Michael, go take it up with him!" Then he turned and started to walk over to Michael.
I closed the front door and locked it, turned around and walked quickly into the living room, telling my step-father Dick "quick! Come outside with me right away, I think we are going to need to be a witness to this!" So Dick and I immediately went outside to keep an eye on what was going to happen.
I had my cellphone with me and I called the police (dialing 911) while I was heading outside. As soon as I stepped outside I loudly announced that I was calling the police, so everyone knew that I was calling the police. Michael said "good!"
When the dispatcher answered the phone, she asked me where the emergency was. I gave her our address. She asked me what was the emergency, and I told the dispatcher that I needed police immediately, there was a heated argument going on between two male neighbors and I was afraid that it was going to become violent at any moment. I told her that both of the men had guns and that I was afraid that someone was going to get shot. She said "they have what?" I said "guns." She said "what?" I said "guns." She said "what?" I said "guns. Guns. Guns. You know, like 'bang bang you're dead!' Guns!"
At that point, I was starting to wonder if this was just a nightmare! I don't have a thick accent, and I don't stutter! I grew up around here, English is my native language. Exactly why the emergency police dispatch lady did not understand the word "gun" is beyond me!
After all that, it took the police over forty-five minutes to arrive at the scene. They talked to all four of us, and they told us that no charges were going to be filed.

Neighbors can be problematic
We have a difficult next door neighbor, Mr. X. Mr X frequently comes over here to complain about things that most of the people who I know would not even think about. He complains about how and when we do or don't mow the lawn. (He wants us to mow our lawn the same day that he mows his lawn – saying it will look nicer.) He complains how fast we drive up our driveway. He complains that sometimes one of us comes very close to the edge of the culvert that goes under our driveway, saying that we will crush the culvert and that will cause the ditch to overflow.
He complains about where we put our trash cans for pick-up (at the end of our driveway on the shoulder of the road, on state property, where the trash company told us to put them.) He complains that we don't trim the weeds from the ditch beside the road (the state's property, not ours.)
He complained to the County for having Lori's rented storage trailer in the back yard (which apparently is a violation of County code.) After receiving a letter from the County telling me that someone had complained, I had to spend $25,000 to build a garage in the back yard so we could get rid of the trailer.
Recently someone poured sugar into the fuel tank and crank case of our really expensive commercial lawn tractor that we brought with us from Maine, and we had to take it to a repair shop. We can't prove who did that, but we have our suspicions – we have not had any problems with anyone else since we moved here…..

Exelixis Announces First Quarter 2014 Financial Results
Exelixis, Inc. (Nasdaq:EXEL) today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.
Q1 2014 Highlights and Recent Events
- The European Commission approved COMETRIQ ® (cabozantinib) for the treatment of adult patients with progressive, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic medullary thyroid cancer in January 2014. Additionally, the Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products recommended maintenance of orphan drug designation at the time of marketing authorization.
- The Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) for COMET-1, the phase 3 pivotal trial of cabozantinib in advanced metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with the primary endpoint of overall survival, completed its planned interim analysis and recommended the trial proceed to its final analysis. Exelixis anticipates top-line results from COMET-1 in 2014.
- Appointed Jeffrey J. Hessekiel, J.D. as executive vice president and general counsel. Mr. Hessekiel is a veteran legal professional with more than a decade of corporate and commercial experience specific to the biopharmaceutical industry, most of it gained in senior roles at Gilead Sciences.
- Net product revenue from COMETRIQ sales was $4.9 million for the first quarter of 2014.
- Entered into an amendment to the company's financing arrangement with Deerfield Private Design Fund, L.P. and Deerfield Private Design International, L.P. (collectively, Deerfield) in January 2014 to provide the company with an option to extend to July 1, 2018 from July 1, 2015, the maturity date of the indebtedness incurred by the company under the financing arrangement.
- Completed an underwritten public offering of 10,000,000 shares of common stock in January 2014, raising net proceeds of approximately $75.6 million after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses.
"For Exelixis, 2014 is a year focused on anticipated top-line results from four pivotal trials of cabozantinib and cobimetinib. Positive data from COMET-1 and COMET-2 could support future regulatory filings and help position cabozantinib as a differentiated treatment option for patients with mCRPC," said Michael M. Morrissey, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Exelixis. "Concurrently, our partners Roche and Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, are advancing cobimetinib, an Exelixis-discovered MEK inhibitor that is under evaluation in a phase 3 pivotal trial with top-line results expected in 2014. We believe that, together, cabozantinib and cobimetinib have the potential to benefit a significant number of patients, and we look forward to the continued maturing datasets from studies exploring the use of these compounds as we progress through the year."

A container has means hingedly supporting a reversible band which surrounds the container near the mouth of the container. The hinged support for the band is engaged to that side edge of the band which is closest to the mouth of the container. The opposite side edge of the band has hook means associated therewith for interfitting rib means projecting outwardly from the skirt of a closure. The interfit between the container band and the closure rib is accomplished by swinging the band upwardly about its hinged edge connection to the container, whereupon the band is reversed in the sense that the inside face of the band initially closest to the container is turned outwardly from the container as the initially outside face of the band is turned inwardly toward the container, such reversal occurring as the band swings upwardly about its hinged connection to the container. Such reversal causes the initially outside face of the band to be enveloped by the initially inside face of the band with the consequence that the initially inside face of the band is placed under a substantial tensile stress which causes the band to collapse inwardly toward the container with the result that the hook portion of the band is drawn into firm interfitting engagement with the rib portion of the closure. The closure includes a severable panel secured initially to the closure skirt by a rupturable, tamper-indicating web and pry means associated with the severable panel for rupturing said web so as to allow removal of the panel and consequent access to the container contents.
1. In a molded plastic container, improved means for securing a closure to said container, comprising:
a circumferentially extending, reversible member integrally molded to the outer surface of said container and pivotal relative to said outer surface from a first position wherein said closure when in normal position on said container would not be engaged by said reversible member to a second, reversed position wherein said reversible member would engage said closure when in normal position on said container, said reversible member extending completely around said container.
2. The container of claim 1 wherein said reversible member is a band joined to said container by a relatively thin, circumferentially extending web for pivotal movement about said web when moving from said first position to said second, reversed position.
3. The container of claim 1 wherein said reversible member and said closure include interengaging means to prevent removal of said reversible member from said closure when said container and closure are assembled and said reversible member is in said second, reversed position.
4. The container of claim 3 wherein said container includes a cylindrical body and a closure-receiving open end, wherein said reversible member is joined to said container on said body near said open end, and wherein said interengaging means includes a circumferentially extending bead on said closure and a clasping portion on said reversible member interfitting with said bead.
5. In an assembly of a container having a mouth with arcuate portions defining an opening thereto and a closure having a skirt receiving said mouth and extending at least partially arcuately around the outside of said mouth, improved means for securing said closure to said container comprising a band integrally and pivotally joined to said container by a web with said band extending outwardly from the outside of said container adjacent said mouth, said band having arcuate portions aligned with the arcuate portions of said mouth and said skirt and movable from a first position to a second, reversed position so that in said second, reversed position said band may engage said closure when assembled on said container.
6. A container assembly comprising a molded plastic container having a mouth at least a portion of which is arcuate and defining an opening to said container and a closure having a skirt shaped to be received snugly around said mouth of said container, said closure further having an outwardly directed rib at least a portion of which is arcuate,
and means for clasping said closure on said container comprising a peripherally extending band, at least a portion of which is arcuate, integrally joined to the outer surface of said container by a web, said band being integrally molded with said container and, as molded, being located in a first position with a first surface portion thereof facing generally toward the longitudinal axis of said container and a second surface portion thereof facing generally away from said axis, said band being movable from said first position by pivotal movement about said web to a second position wherein said first surface portion faces generally away from said axis and said second surface portion faces generally toward said axis, said band engaging said rib when said band is in said second position to retain said closure on said container.
7. The container assembly of claim 6 having a rupturable portion that may be ruptured to permit access to the contents thereof.
8. The container assembly of claim 7 wherein said rupturable portion comprises a removable panel portion of said closure.
9. The assembly of claim 6 wherein said rib and said band extend completely around said skirt and said container, respectively, so that when said band is in said second position, said band engages along the entire periphery of said rib.
10. The assembly of claim 6 wherein said mouth, said skirt, said rib and said band are all substantially circular.
11. The assembly of claim 10 wherein said rib and said band extend completely around said skirt and said container, respectively, so that when said band is in said second position, said band engages along the entire periphery of said rib.
12. The container assembly of claim 11 having a rupturable portion that may be ruptured to permit access to the contents thereof.
13. The container assembly of claim 7 wherein said rupturable portion comprises a removable panel portion of said closure.
The present invention relates to containers and closures and, in particular, to a container having integrally formed means for use in securing a closure to the container. It has been a common expedient to provide a container with an attached or integrally formed surrounding channel which receives and shields the lowermost edge of a closure skirt, thus to protect the resultant assembly against an inadvertent or surreptitious removal of the closure.
The prior art devices have typically provided the surrounding channel with one or more portions severable therefrom so that the severable portions when removed simplify access to the contents of the container and preferably leave telltale evidence that the container has been opened.
A difficulty with such prior art devices, particularly when applied to relatively pliant plastic containers and closures, is that the means by which the closure is assembled to the container is almost always reversible with the consequence that skillful manipulations can be employed to reverse the mode of container and closure assembly so as to allow one to gain access to the contents of the container and then reclose the container without leaving any evidence that the container has been entered.
An object of the present invention is to provide a container and closure assembly wherein the container has means formed integrally therewith for so securely anchoring an interfitting closure that a supplemental mode of container entry is required to be provided.
Another object of the present invention is to provide novel means integral with a container for securely anchoring a closure for the container.
Other objects and advantages will become apparent from the following description and the drawings.
In the present invention, a container formed of a pliant material such as plastic has an integrally formed band which surrounds the container adjacent the mouth thereof and which is hingedly connected to the container by a relatively thin connecting web. The container, which is preferably a molded plastic container, is provided with an initial configuration allowing easy ejection of the container from the mold in which it is formed. The "as molded" configuration of the container allows a band molded in surrounding relation to the container to be reversed, inside out in effect, without detachment from the container, by bending the band about its hinged connection to the container. Such bending places the initially inside face of the band under a substantial tensile force which compresses the band inwardly toward the container and interengages a hook portion formed integrally on the band with a rib portion provided on the skirt of a closure, thus to entrap the rib portion and thereby secure the closure to the container.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating an assembled closure and container in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged section view of the assembled closure and container of FIG. 1 taken substantially along the diameter of the closure bisecting a pull ring that is an integral part of the closure.
FIG. 3 is a section view analogous to that of FIG. 2 but illustrating an intermediate stage in the assembly of the container and closure of FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 is a section view analogous to that of FIG. 2 illustrating the assembled container and closure after disassembly of the closure so as to afford entry to the container.
FIG. 1 illustrates a container 10 to which has been assembled a closure 12 retained by a band 14. Referring to FIG. 3, the closure 12 is shown in closing relationship to the container 10 before the band 14 has been manipulated for positive retention of the closure to the container.
The container 10 can be seen in FIG. 3 to comprise an upstanding wall 11 which turns radially outwardly to form a bead portion 18 which is downwardly spaced from the mouth of the container. Integrally connected to the radially outer end of the bead portion 18 is a web 16 which extends annularly around the container. Integrally attached to the web 16 is a thickened wall forming the band 14 which integrally supports at its lower end a hook portion 20 which surrounds the container 10.
The container 10 is preferably molded of a resilient thermoplastic material such as polyethylene, and the mold (not shown) in which the container 10 is molded has a frustum conical surface (not shown) which forms a beveled surface 19 at the radially outer end of the bead 18 and a beveled surface 23 at the upper end of the band 14. The two beveled surfaces 19 and 23 form a continuously flat frustum conical surface which also defines the upper surface of the relatively thin web 16 which extends between the bead 18 and the band 14.
It may be noted at this point that the band 14 which annularly surrounds the container 10 has an inside face 24 and an outside face 26. Due to the thickness of the band 14, the circumferential extent of the outside face 26 is necessarily larger than the circumferential extent of the inside face 24.
Extending upwardly from the bead 18 is an integrally formed annular wall 28 which defines a container mouth which is larger in diameter than is the upstanding wall 11 of the container. The annular wall 28 is sized to enter a skirt 40 depending from the closure 12.
As best seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, the closure 12 comprises a generally circular panel 30 having an upwardly turned margin 31 which forms a seal 36 for slidably engaging the internal surface of the container wall 28. The aforementioned skirt 40 is connected integrally to an upper portion of the annular margin 31 by means of an annular shoulder 44 adapted to seat against the upper end of the container wall 28.
The closure 12, which is generally of the type illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 3,415,412, includes an integrally formed pull ring 32 supported interiorly of the shoulder 44 by means of a stiffening rib 34 formed integrally with the ring 32 and with the margin 31. The stiffening rib 34 and the annular shoulder 44 are spaced to form a notch 38. This notch is disposed above a rupturable web 42 integrally connecting the upper portion of the margin 31 to the shoulder 44. The thickness of the web 42 is determined by the upward extent of an annular score line or weakening groove 43 molded into the inside face of the closure 12 adjacent the shoulder 44. The designed thickness of the rupturable web 42 is adequate to sustain the integrity of the closure during the manufacture thereof and during the assembly of the closure to the container; but, as will be explained, the web 42 is designed so as to be thin enough to readily rupture under application of the forces to be described.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the closure has preferably been so designed that the aforementioned seal 36 cooperates with the aforementioned skirt 40 to establish a gap therebetween which is initially too small to receive the thickness of the container wall 28. However, the resilient nature of the molded closure 12, which is preferably a thermoplastic material such as polyethylene, allows the annular wall 28 to be pinched between the seal 36 and the skirt 40 as the closure 12 is pressed upon the container 10. To simplify the assembly of the closure 12 onto the container 10, the closure is provided with an annular internal notch 48 at the distal end of the skirt 40 which pilots the container wall 28 into the narrow space between the skirt 40 and the seal 36. The skirt 40 has an outwardly directed rib 46 formed integrally with the distal end of the skirt, whose function will now be described.
Assuming the container 10 to have been filled with a foodstuff or other substance which is to be stored therein and further assuming the closure 12 to have been applied to the container 10 by pressing the closure onto the container wall 28 to the position shown in FIG. 3, the band 14 with its integrally formed annular hook portion 20 is forced upwardly by an axial force applied thereabout, either manually or by machine, from the "as molded" or first position, to pivot the band upwardly and outwardly about the web 16. This movement will place the band 14 in a second position illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 4. Quite obviously, in the approach toward this second position, the band 14 is reversed in the sense that its inside face 24 must expand about and ultimately encircle the outside face 26. When such reversal occurs, the band 14 snaps sharply to its second position. As can be noted in FIGS. 2 and 4, the web 16, which anchors the initially upper end of the band 14, has been designed to be strong enough by reason of its thickness to allow the upward pivotal movement and reversal of the band 14 to take place without a rupture of the web 16 occurring.
Since the upward pivotal movement of the band 14 has turned the outer face 26 inside of the inner face 24, it can be appreciated that the initially inner face 24 has now been placed under a substantial tension along its circumference, and this tension tends to compress the initially outer face 26 inwardly toward the closure 12. The annular hook portion 20 formed on the band 14 has been so located in the design of the container 10 that, when the band 14 is pivoted upwardly as described, the hook portion 20 now serving as a clasping portion will encircle and firmly seat against to clasp the outwardly directed rib 46 formed at the distal end of the closure skirt 40. The interengaging condition between the hook portion 20 and the rib 46 provides a snug fit between the container and its closure which is not readily broken or reversed by manual manipulations. In the formation of this snug fit, it can be noted that the beveled surfaces 19 and 23 have swung one toward the other as is shown in FIGS. 2 and 4.
The resulting interfit between the closure 12 and container 10 is quite secure; and, in the ordinary utilization of such interfit, it is not intended that the closure 12 be removed from the container 10 by reversing or overcoming this powerful interfit. Instead, the closure 12 is provided with the previously described ring 32 with its integrally formed stiffening rib 34. Thus the present invention contemplates that access is gained to the contents of the container 10 by a finger manipulation which lifts the ring 32 and in so doing pivots the stiffening rib 34 upwardly so as to close the notch 38 adjacent the shoulder 44. Such closure enables the radially outer end of the stiffening rib 34 to pivot against the shoulder 44, now serving as a fulcrum, and thus rupture the rupturable web 42 adjacent the shoulder 44. Upon initial occurrence of such rupture, a continuing upward motion of the finger-manipulated ring 32 will progressively expand the rupture circumferentially about the inside of the shoulder 44 so as to tear the panel 30 free of the shoulder 44. FIG. 4 illustrates schematically the torn edge 50 remaining on the shoulder 44 after the web 42 has been ruptured by operation of the ring 32 and its integrally formed stiffening rib 34 as above described.
Although the preferred embodiments of this invention have been described, it will be understood that various changes may be made within the scope of the appended claims.

335. Religious Freedoms and Islamic Revivalism: Some Contradictions of American Foreign Policy in Southeast EuropeJul 07, 2011
May 2007 - Religion was one of the most strictly controlled elements of everyday life under the 45 years of communist rule in Bulgaria. The 1949 Law of Religious Denominations gave the state broad powers over the spiritual life of its citizens. The Bulgarian Communist Party promoted a Marxist atheist ideology, which held that communist subjects would abandon their faith as the living standards of the workers and peasants were improved through the marvels of the command economy. Religious education was largely banned and foreign religious exchanges were prohibited. The official clergies of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church and the Bulgarian Muslim denomination were infiltrated by Communist Party members who mobilized religious discourses to solidify support for the centralized state. In the case of Islam, traditional clothing, burial practices and circumcision were outlawed, and Bulgaria's Muslims were forced to trade their Turko-Arabic names in for Slavic ones. more
35. Jews and Hungarians: A View after the TransitionJul 07, 2011
The history of the Jews and anti-Semitism in Hungary has been a source of puzzlement for scholars of East European history. The reason for this is a feature of Hungarian history rarely found elsewhere in the region: an unusually large oscillation in the attitudes of the Hungarian political community between the extremes of resolute philosemitism on the one hand and obsessive anti-Semitism on the other. This paper examines why it is only now, at the end of the twentieth century, that the Jews have become free to "erect a parliamentary springboard" from which they can conspire to assimilate Hungarians in this breathtakingly paranoid vision? more

169. The Fear of Islam In Croatian PoliticsJul 07, 2011
November 1998 - We know the story of ancient Balkan ethnic hatred is largely false: before the late 19th century, conflict in the Balkan peninsula generally ran between South Slavs and their imperial neighbors, not among the South Slavs themselves. That said, there was one genuinely ancient conflict in the region involving the Ottoman Empire. From the 13th to the 18th century, the Ottoman armies were a permanent threat to the South Slavs. Since many (but by no means all) of the Ottoman armed forces were of Slavic origin, kin to their enemies, this period of Ottoman wars can plausibly be seen as the sole example of "ancient" hatred in the Balkans. more

3. Religion and Nationalism in Eastern EuropeJul 07, 2011
Because of the endeavors to bring in the churches as associates for the building up of a real socialist society, anti-church policies and an aggressive atheist propaganda have been abandoned in some countries. Fundamentally, a similar tendency can be observed at work in the Soviet Union. The existence of the church is more or less accepted or tolerated and the fight against religion is, in some publications,presented as a fight against those social roots from which religion arises. more
168. The Dynamics of Religion and Politics In PolandJul 07, 2011
October 1998 - Clashes between Catholics and Jews in Poland are again in the news. Since last spring, a series of confrontations between religious radicals has occurred at the Auschwitz death camp in Oswiecim. Thus far, all attempts to resolve the controversy surrounding the placement of Christian religious symbols at the site have failed. Why has the unauthorized display of crosses at Auschwitz escalated to an international incident? What makes this such an intractable issue? This problem results from the intertwining of religious social action and political activity in Poland since 1989. In fact, the current controversy is a way of illustrating the contemporary dynamics of religion and politics in Poland. These dynamics can be broken into four aspects: the international dimension, church-state realignment, tensions within the Catholic hierarchy, and the differentiation of the Catholic community. more

Correction: 1C's Men of War and King's Bounty not F2P
A recent preview I wrote (published earlier this week) regarding 1C Company titles contained misinformation on two of the three games featured, Men of War: Condemned Heroes and King's Bounty: Warriors of the North. In this piece, it was originally stated that both of these games would be released as free-to-play titles, when they are in fact retail releases.
I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for any confusion this might have caused Destructoid's readers, and for any issues this has caused 1C Company.

Census: Recession takes big toll on young adults
Opting to stay put, roughly 5.9 million Americans 25-34 last year lived with their parents, an increase of 25 percent from before the recession. Driven by a record 1 in 5 young men who doubled up in households, men are now nearly twice as likely as women to live with their parents.
Marriages fell to a record low last year of just 51.4 percent among adults 18 and over, compared with 57 percent in 2000. Among young adults 25-34, marriage was at 44.2 percent, also a new low.
Broken down by race and ethnicity, 31 percent of young black men lived in their parents' homes, compared with 21 percent of young Latino men and 15 percent of young white men. At the state level, New York had the highest share of young men living with their parents at 21 percent, followed by New Jersey and Hawaii, all states with higher costs of living. Most of the cities with low percentages of young adults living at home were in the Midwest.
Younger women across all race and ethnic groups had fewer children compared with 2008. Births declined 6 percent among 20-34 year-olds over the two-year period even though the number of women in this group increased by more than 1 million, according to an analysis of census data by Kenneth Johnson, sociology professor and senior demographer at the University of New Hampshire. Never before has such a drop in births occurred when the population of young adults increased in at least 15 years.
"Are people just delaying births, or does this represent a real loss of babies that won't be replaced? During the Great Depression, there was a permanent loss of births - they were never made up," Johnson said.
Homeownership declined for a fourth consecutive year, to 65.4 percent, following a peak of 67.3 percent in 2006.
"Many young adults are essentially postponing adulthood and all of the family responsibilities and extra costs that go along with it," said Mark Mather, an associate vice president at the private Population Reference Bureau. He described a shift toward a new U.S. norm, one that's commonly seen in Europe, in which more people wait until their 30s to leave the parental nest.
"Some of these changes started before the recession but now they are accelerating, with effects on families that could be long term," Mather said.
The District of Columbia plus 14 states had the largest ratios of college graduates to high-school dropouts, more than 3 to 1. Several of these places, including the District of Columbia and states with larger immigrant populations, had the widest income gaps between rich and poor.
The number of Hispanic children in poverty rose by half a million to 6.1 million last year, making up a majority of the increase in total child poverty. Hispanics now comprise 37 percent of children in poverty, compared with 30 percent for whites and 27 percent for blacks.
"We are really at a crossroads," said William H. Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution. "These new young immigrants and their children need a pathway to the middle class - good educations, affordable housing and jobs - at the same time federal and state budgets are strapped for funds. While we face tough choices, the quality of our future labor force depends on meeting their needs."

Friday night was one of firsts for the Desert Vista boys and girls basketball teams when the Thunder clinched 5A Central Region titles in the sport for the first time in school history — on rival Mountain Pointe's home court no less.
Desert Vista, which first competed for a region title in the 1997-98 season, finally vaulted ahead of the Corona del Sols, Mountain Pointes and Marcos de Nizas which have topped the region since the Thunder came along.
The boys team is coached by Al Merino, whose team reached the 5A semifinals last year. Desert Vista is 6-1 in region and has beaten its closest competitors — Mountain Pointe and Marcos — twice each.
Desert Vista's girls, under second-year coach Henry Bribiescas, have not lost a game in region play (7-0) with one game remaining Thursday at home against Desert Mountain.
Gilbert (23-2) has taken over the top spot in the latest Tribune 5A boys basketball rankings by winning its last seven and 19 of its last 20.
Also helping the Tigers move up a notch in the rankings was the second loss this season by Tucson Salpointe (23-2), Saturday at Phoenix Brophy. It was the Lancers' first loss this season to an Arizona school.
Remaining No. 1 in the 5A girls rankings is Highland (27-0), which has gone wire-to-wire in that spot.
After watching his team lose some luster in its defensive game for a while, Mountain View coach Gary Ernst hopes it is back for good after two strong wins last week.
The Toros lost a triple-overtime game to Dobson and then struggled against Westwood the same week as they hung on to a share of the East Valley Region lead with the Mustangs. But last week the Toros punished Red Mountain (91-48) and Mesa (58-37), reminding Ernst how his team had performed earlier in January.
''We had a return of our defensive intensity, which was encouraging,'' Ernst said. ''That had left us for a week or so. Mesa had us down 16-9 after the first quarter (last Friday), but after that we played well on defense, moved the ball around and got some good shots.''
The Mountain View girls basketball team lost reserve guard Clarissa Tanner to an ankle injury in practice last week. The injury will take up to two months to mend, ending her season. Tanner was averaging seven points a game and is the Toros' top 3-point shooter, coach Tom Bunger said. Dobson guard Eddie Esquer, bothered by an ankle sprain, returned to action Friday in the Mustangs' victory over Skyline after missing 1 1/2 games.
The Highland girls basketball team is still on cruise control, but only seven players saw action last Friday in the Hawks' victory over Hamilton due to illness and minor injuries. Coughs and colds have plagued various players since late December.
''We have kids with a croup-type cough that they just can't shake,'' Highland coach Miner Webster said. ''It's been with us since we were in San Diego in (late) December. We've done about everything we can with antibiotics to fight it, but it won't go away.''
The top five basketball schools collectively (boys and girls) among local 5A programs by won-loss record currently are Desert Vista 42-8 (.840 winning percentage); Highland 39-10 (.796); Mountain View 40-11 (.784); Gilbert 37-14 (.725); and Mesquite 34-16 (.680). The next four are Dobson 31-17 (.646); Horizon 28-18 (.609); Mesa 31-20 (.608); and Chandler 28-20 (.583).
Just how talented is Marcos de Niza's wrestling team?
The Padres, who easily won the state title last year and are heavy favorites to repeat at next week's state tournament, have three wrestlers who have yet to taste defeat this season. Alex Varela (135 pounds), Joey Hooker (145) and Alex Pavlenko (160) all have 36-0 records entering today's 5A Central Region tournament.
Pavlenko's unbeaten streak extends beyond this season, as he finished last year's campaign without a blemish on his record. The last time Pavlenko, a junior, was bested by an opponent was during the state tournament in 2001.
Junior midfielder Jason Cascio of Hamilton and senior midfielder Dan Wallace of Gilbert have been named Fiesta Region offensive and defensive soccer players of the year, respectively. The Fiesta Region champion Huskies hosted Tucson High and the Tigers hosted Ironwood in the opening round of the state tournament on Monday.

This is a sponsored post from Seventh Generation. I was paid to write this, but as always, all opinions are my own. Please visit my Disclosure tab at the top of the page if you would like to know more about my personal disclosure policy.
I have been hearing for years that eco-friendly and all natural things are the way to go, but when I go to the store, there are thousands of brands to choose from. Prices vary, quality varies, and a lot of companies boast that they are safe. But are they really?
I found the opportunity to write about Seventh Generation and the Toxic Freedom Fighters Campaign, and I thought it would be good for me to learn more myself. I buy natural products when I can, but for the most part I haven't given it much thought. Until now...
More than 80,000 chemicals available in the United States have never been fully tested for their toxic effects on our health and environment.
Wow. The Toxic Substance Control Act was made in 1976 and has NOT been reformed once. The EPA cannot evaluate or take action on even known dangerous chemicals because of the way the law is written. This means that there are that many substances out there that are causing harm to us as consumers, and no one really knows the full extent of the danger. Until reform happens, we are continually being exposed and harmed.
Exposure toxic chemicals has been linked to birth defects, asthma, cancer, Alzheimer's, and learning disabilities.
The Toxin Freedom Fighters Campaign is for bringing this issue before Congress, and demanding that a reform is made on the Toxic Substance Control Act to make our products safer for our families. YOU can help by signing the petition on their website--
If 100,000 signatures are collected, the petition will be given to Congress on April 30th.
I understand that there are a lot of 'fads' out there and even I usually think they're bogus, but this is a real danger to us. You don't have to be a tree hugger to care about your environment and what your family is exposed to. Signing this petition is one step to ensure that what you do buy is safe for your family. We have to get all of these dangerous products off the shelves and make sure a change happens. It is likely that we are already paying a heavy price for being exposed to these toxins for so long. We need to protect our children and future generations from the same mistake.
Seventh Generation is sponsoring this movement, and I do recommend their products. They are 100% natural and safe, which is how all should be. If it is too expensive for you to buy, try making your own cleaning products :)

Again, please sign the petition to push reform on the Toxic Substance Control Act--
