US 3966193 A Abstract A stacking and feeding tray is described, which provides a fluctuating urging force upon a stack of mail. The fluctuating urging force provides a proper feeding of pieces of mail, such that a double feed of envelopes is essentially eliminated. The fluctuation in feed-in force is provided by a clutched drive, which is responsive to an optical sensing of the discharge of a piece of mail.
Claims(8) 1. A mail-handling stacking device for supporting a quantity of mail, and for uniformly urging said quantity of mail irrespective of its size, towards a discharging mechanism in a fluctuating manner, comprising:
support means for supporting a quantity of mail; pressure means carried by said support means for urging said quantity of mail towards a discharging mechanism; drive means operatively connected to said pressure means for driving said pressure means into operative engagement with a quantity of mail supported by said support means; clutch means comprising a dual clutch mechanism, a first clutch of which is operatively connected to said drive means for causing said drive means to be coupled and decoupled from driving said pressure means, and a second clutch of which is a slip clutch operatively connected to said drive means for causing said drive means to drive said pressure plate with a constant force when said first clutch is not decoupling said drive means; and sensing means disposed adjacent said discharging mechanism for sensing the discharging of pieces of mail, said sensing means being operative to descouple said pressure means from said drive means via said first clutch in response to sensing a discharging piece of mail, and to couple said pressure means to said drive means via said first clutch when no discharging piece of mail is sensed such that said pressure means will be caused to fluctuate between a mail urging and a mail non-urging condition. 2. The mail-handling stacking mechanism of claim 1, wherein said support means comprises a mail loading tray for supporting a quantity of envelopes, each stacked upon their edge.
3. The mail-handling stacking mechanism of claim 1, wherein the pressure means comprises a plate that is slidably mounted upon said support means.
4. The mail-handling stacking mechanism of claim 1, wherein said support means comprises a tray for supporting a quantity of mail, said tray supporting at least one friction belt operatively connected to aid drive means and which is intermittently movable upon said tray, and wherein said pressure means comprises a plate that is slidably mounted upon said tray and which is in frictional engagement with said intermittently movable belt.
5. The mail-handling stacking mechanism of claim 1, wherein said support means comprises a tray having a guide wall for guiding stacked pieces of mail and providing a registration between said pieces of mail, and a back plate, and wherein said discharge mechanism comprises a rotatively driven friction roller which is mounted upon said back plate.
6. The mail-handling stacking mechanism of claim 1, wherein said discharging mechanism is intermittently driven by means of a discharge drive means and a discharge clutch operatively connected to said discharge drive means.
7. The mail-handling stacking mechanism of claim 1, wherein said sensing means comprises a light source and a photodetector, a leading edge of a discharging piece of mail breaking a light path between said light source and said photodetector, whereby a first clutch controlling signal is provided, and when discharged, a trailing edge of said piece of mail re-making the light path between said light source and photodetector to provide another first clutch controlling signal.
8. The mail-handling stacking device of claim 1, wherein said support means comprises a tray having a guide wall for aligning pieces of mail in feed-in registry, each of said pieces of mail being supported by said tray on an edge thereof.
Description The invention pertains to mail-handling apparatus, and more particularly to a stacking and feeding tray for mail-handling systems. In mailing systems of the type described in application No. 476,618 filed June 5, 1974, now U.S. Pat. No. 3,877,531; a reliable feed and stacking apparatus is required, that will insure a proper feeding of individual pieces of mail. Too often, more than one piece of mail will be fed into a mailing apparatus, usually causing a jamming in the transporting of the letters. A double feed of envelopes not only causes jamming, but requires operator attention to separate the doubles and reprocess the mail through the mail system. An analysis of the problem has shown that doubles often occur as a result of frictional forces between the envelopes. In other words, when one envelope is discharged from the feed deck, an adjacent envelope is often pulled along with this envelope, by virtue of the friction existing between these contiguous pieces of mail. The present inventive feed-in stacking apparatus is designed to reduce the probabilities of incurring a double feed. Another problem common to feed-in stacking devices, is the maintenance of a constant magnitude of feed force despite the size of the stack. The present invention has means for providing a substantially constant feed force magnitude upon the stack of mail regardless of the stack size. The invention is for a stacking and feed apparatus for mail-handling systems. Letters are stacked upon a tray in edgewise fashion, i.e., standing upon their edge. A guide wall of the tray acts to align the envelopes and provides a uniform stack, by registratively guiding the leading edge of each envelope as it moves along the feed-in tray. A pressure plate is slidably mounted upon the tray and acts to intermittently compress the stack of mail. The pressure exerted upon the stack, causes the leading envelope of the stack to come into frictional engagement with a discharge roller. The leading envelope is then fed to the bite of a pair of separating rollers, and is subsequently pulled from the stack. As the leading edge of the envelope approaches the separating rollers, a photosensing device is tripped, which actuates a clutch on the drive of the pressure plate. This causes the pressure plate to cease its force against the stack. This in turn reduces the frictional force between the discharging piece of mail, and its adjacent piece of mail, thus causing the discharging piece of mail to move freely from the stack. The easing of the frictional force between the discharging letter and an adjacent envelope reduces the chances of a double feed. As the letter is finally discharged by the separator, the trailing edge of the envelope moves past the optical sensor, which causes the clutch on the pressure plate drive to deactuate. The next envelope is now urged against the discharge roller to complete the feed-in cycle. During the discharge of an envelope, the discharge roller is also deactivated by the photosensor, so that as the envelope passes, the adjacent envelope receives no discharging force. The discharge roller is subsequently reactivated by the photosensing unit when the trailing edge of the envelope moves past. The drive of the discharge roller is also controlled through a clutch, which is controlled by said optical sensor. A constant magnitude of force is developed by the pressure plate upon the stack of mail despite the size of the stack. In other words, a constant frictional discharging force is maintained as the size of the stack diminishes, because the normal force exerted by the pressure plate and the letters upon the discharging roller is maintained at a given level. The pressure plate exerts a constant force by means of frictionl belt drive and mechanical slip clutch arrangement. The pressure plate is urged against the stack of mail by means of a moving belt which is frictionally engaged to the plate. A slip clutch disposeed between the belt and the belt drive is adjusted to slip when the belt force reaches a desired magnitude. It is an object of this invention to provide an improved stacking and feeding apparatus for mail-handling systems; It is another object of the invention to provide a feed-in device for mail-handling machines, which will reduce the probabilities of feeding a double piece of mail; and It is still another object of this invention to provide a stacking and feeding apparatus for pieces of mail which will produce an intermittent force upon the stack of mail, which force will be of a given magnitude despite the size of the stack. These and other objects of the invention will be better understood and will become more apparent with reference to the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the attached drawings in which: FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a quantity of mail disposed upon a tray of the mail-handling apparatus of this invention; FIG. 2 is a cutaway internal perspective view of the mail-handling apparatus of the invention of FIG. 1; FIG. 3 is a back view of the mail-handling apparatus of FIG. 2, taken along lines 3--3; and FIG. 4 is a top view of the mail-handling apparatus of FIG. 3, taken along lines 4--4. Generally speaking, the invention is for a mail-handling stacking device for supporting a quantity of mail, and for urging this mail towards a discharging device. The apparatus of this invention comprises support means for supporting the quantity of mail and a pressure means carried by the support means. The pressure means urges the mail towards a discharging mechanism. A drive means drives the pressure means into engagement with the mail, and a clutch causes an interruption in this drive. A sensing means disposed adjacent the discharging mechanism senses the discharging of pieces of mail. The sensing means actuates and deactuates the clutch in response to the discharging of the pieces of mail. The alternating actuation and deactuation of the clutch causes the driving means and the pressure means to operatively fluctuate. Thus, the pressure means is caused to fluctuate between a mail urging and a mail nonurging position. The pressure means in addition to providing a fluctuation in the urging of the mail, also provides a force of substantially constant magnitude upon the mail irrespective of the quantity of mail in the stack. Now referring to FIG. 1, a stack of mail is generally shown by arrow 10. The stack 10 comprises a large quantity of mixed and/or uniformly sized mail. All of the pieces of mail are individually standing on their edge as shown, and are evenly stacked against wall 11 of the supporting tray depicted generally by arrow 12. The tray 12 comprises a platform 14 upon which the letters receive their primary support. The aformentioned guide wall 11 keeps the ends of the letters in aligned registration. A back wall 15 of tray 12 forms with roller pairs 16, 17 and 18, respectively (FIG. 2) a discharging surface for the pieces of mail coming in contact therewith. Individual pieces of mail are discharged in seriatim (one behind another) from tray 12 in the general direction of arrow 20. A pressure plate 19 forces the entire stack towards back plate 15, where the rearmost letters 22, 23, 24, etc. are shingled (peeled off) from the stack 10 by means of roller pair 17 as illustrated. The pressure plate 19 is slidably mounted upon shaft 21 by means of a ball bushing 25. This allows the plate 19 to move freely over platform 14. A plurality of continuously formed belts 26 are caused to be driven over platform 14 towards the back plate 15 as shown by arrows 27. Pads 28, 29 and 30 attached to the bottom of plate 19 frictionally engage each of the respective belts 26 causing plate 19 to exert a force upon stack 10 in direction 27 (towards the back plate 15). The roller pair 17 is caused to rotate in direction 31 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4. This causes the aforementioned shingling of the mail, and eventually one letter will be fed (arrow 20, FIGS. 1, 2 and 4) to the bite of a separator shown generally by arrow 34. An optical sensor comprising a phototransistor 35 and an LED 36 (FIG. 4) determine when a letter is fed to the bite of separator 34, by sensing its leading edge. Once a letter is within the separator 34, it becomes desirable, in accordance with this invention, to cease the pressure upon the stack 10 (FIG. 1). This greatly reduces the friction between the shingled letters, and prevents the feeding of doubles. Referring to FIG. 2, each of the belts 26 are supported for rotation between two rollers 37 and 38, respectively. Rollers 38 are supported upon shaft 39, which is rotatively driven by means of a pulley 40 that is affixed to shaft 39. The pulley 40 is powered by a belt 41, which wraps about a driving pulley 42. The driving pulley 42 is rotatively secured to a shaft 46 supporting a mechanical and electrical clutch combination 43 and 44, respectively. The mechanical clutch 43 is a slip-type clutch, and is operative only when the electrical clutch is engaged. The shaft 46 is fixed to pulley 47 and driven by belt 48. Belt 48 is powered by pulley 49, which is connected to electrical motor 50 via shaft 51. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a stack of mail 10 is registratively aligned against wall 11 of the stacking tray 12. The motor 50 (FIG. 2) operatively drives belts 26, which in turn causes pressure plate 19 to urge the stack of mail towards the discharging roller pair 17. The pressure plate 19 pushes against the stack 10, until such time as the compressive resistance or counter force of the stack of mail causes the mechanical slip clutch 43 to begin to slip. By adjusting the spring tension on the mechanical slip clutch, the force exerted by the pressure plate 19 can be varied as desired, or as found to be operatively required for proper discharging of the pieces of mail. The force of the pressure plate will remain constant despite the size of the stack of mail, because this force will always be equal to the resistive compressive force of the stack. The resistive stack force will in turn remain constant and equal to the force required to cause slippage in mechanical clutch 43. Thus, despite the initial size of the stack, or the size of the stack as it is caused to be diminished by the discharging of pieces of mail, the force of the pressure plate 19 will always be of constant magnitude. As the stack 10 is compressed by the force of the pressure plate 19, a shingling of pieces of mail occurs as illustrated by letters 22, 23 and 24 of FIG. 1. This is caused by the frictional engagement of the last letter 24 in the stack 10 with roller pair 17. The other letter 23, begins to peel off also, as a result of its frictional engagement with letter 24. Letter 23 starts to likewise shingle as a consequence of its frictional engagement with letter 23, and so on. Roller pair 16 is a free wheeling pair of rollers, that is placed upon back plate 15 to add support to the letter stack, and to reduce the frictional drag of the letter ends upon plate 15. As the lead envelope 24 breaks away from the stack 10 (arrow 20, FIGS. 1 and 4) its leading edge 33 becomes caught in the bite of the rollers 18 and 53 of separator 34 (FIG. 4). The separator 34 then causes the envelope 24 to be moved toward the mail transporting device shown generally by aroow 54 in FIG. 4. The phototransistor 35 and LED 36 are positioned adjacent the separator rollers, and the light path 52 is broken by the leading edge 33 of envelope 24. When the light path 52 is interrupted, an actuating signal is given to the belt drive electrical clutch 44, and an electrical discharge roller clutch 32 (FIG. 3) disposed on the drive shaft 55 of the discharge pair of rollers 17. This results in the cessation of the force exerted by the pressure plate, and the rotation of the discharge pair of rollers 17. This will prevent the next letter 23 from moving along with letter 24 to the transport device 54, hence eliminating doubling (two envelopes being transported at the same time). Cessation of the discharge roller pair from rotating will naturally prevent a desired feeding of the next letter 23 to the bite of separator 34. In addition, the cessation of the force exerted by pressure plate 19 will prevent frictional engagement between letters 23 and 24, such that there will not be a tendency for letter 23 to frictionally stick to letter 24. In other words, letter 23 will be prevented from being dragged along with discharging letter 24. When the trailing edge 56 (FIG. 2) of the envelope passes the phototransistor 35 and LED 36 (FIG. 4), the light path 52 will then become reinstated. The electrical clutches 44 and 32 will then receive a deactuating signal, and the belt drive and discharge roller pair will once again become operative. This will cause the subsequent letter 23 to be discharged in like fashion to letter 24. When letter 23 becomes discharged to the transport device 54, the phototransistor 35 will again, operate to actuate and deactuate clutches 44 and 32 to prevent the doubling of letter 23 with the subsequent letter 22, and so on. The alternating of the belt drive between actuation and deactuation will cause a fluctuating movement in pressure plate 19. This results from the fact, that once pressure is relieved to the stack 10 by plate 19, the envelopes in the stack will decompress and cause plate 19 to move slightly backward (opposite to direction 27; FIG. 1). Thus, the pressure plate 19 will be seen to move in an alternating or jogging manner with respect to the envelope stack. Many modifications and changes of an obvious nature will likely occur to the skilled practitioner in this art. Therefore, it is seemed that such changes or modifications be encompassed by the invention, and the inventive spirit and scope be interpreted with respect to the following appended claims.

Democrats seek to tie Akin to House candidates
By The Associated Press
Todd Aiken (AP file photo)
DENVER - Meet the newest campaign issue for House Democrats: Todd Akin.
From Colorado to New Hampshire to Illinois, Democrats already are using the incendiary comments about rape made by the Missouri congressman and Republican Senate candidate as a political bludgeon. In interviews, news releases and tweets, they've blasted Akin for saying victims of "legitimate rape" are able to naturally prevent pregnancy and tried to tie their opponents to legislation he's supported.
Those moves might only be the beginning, as Akin has so far refused to drop out of the race despite pleas from top Republicans, including GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, and the widespread condemnation of his remarks.
"People are disgusted and appalled," said Joe Mikosi, a Democratic congressional candidate in suburban Denver, who began tying his opponent, GOP Rep. Mike Coffman, to Akin within hours of learning about his comments this past Sunday.
Mikosi sent a tweet that read, "Mike Coffman and Todd Akin have been fighting side by side against women in Congress," and posted a video online included footage of Akin praising Coffman on the House floor.
Coffman responded by calling for Akin to leave the race and decrying his rape comments as "wrong, inappropriate and hurtful to women across the country."
It's a scene repeated in House races nationwide, as Akin's comments on rape are playing a role in more than dozen House races in battleground states - particularly those in which the incumbents joined Akin last year in co-sponsoring a resolution that would have redefined rape as "forcible rape."
Most Democrats and women's groups objected to such language, because it suggested there are different severities of rape.
In New Hampshire, Annie Kuster rapped one of Democrats' top targets, GOP Rep. Charlie Bass, saying she was "disappointed" Bass hadn't yet called for Akin to leave the Senate race. Bass quickly did so. In Illinois, another Democratic challenger, Cheri Bustos, called on her opponent, GOP Rep. Bobby Schilling, to return a $2,000 donation from Akin. Schilling did so and issued a statement expressing his disgust with Akin's remarks.
"As a father, a husband and a close friend to people who have been scarred by the evils of rape, I could never stand with someone who said something so contrary to our basic human values," he said.
In Wisconsin, Democrat Pat Kreitlow had made an issue of GOP Rep. Sean Duffy's support for legislation defining "forcible rape" even before Akin's comments. That criticism now has new life, Kreitlow said.
"People are simply amazed there are elected officials who would take these positions, to redefine rape," he said. "We were hearing about it in Wisconsin before Akin said this, and of course we're hearing a lot more about it now."
Duffy, meanwhile, followed the path of other Republicans in calling for Akin to drop his Missouri Senate bid and repudiating his comments.
In trying to link Akin to their opponents, Democrats are following a time-honored campaign tradition. When a controversial statement or issue percolates in one race, the party sensing an opportunity will invariably try and make it an issue in as many races as possible, said Jack Pitney, a political science professor at Claremont McKenna College.
"This is politics 101," Pitney said. "You try to tie your opponent to an unpopular on the other side and let them figure it out."
Pitney questioned for how long Democrats will be successful in making Akin's comments an issue, but Democrats have some reason to believe that it's an election winner to highlight Republicans who oppose abortion even in cases of rape and incest.
In the swing state of Colorado, voters have twice overwhelmingly defeated ballot measures that would have outlawed abortion in all cases, and Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet won a tight Senate contest in 2010 in part by highlighting Republican Ken Buck's views on abortion.
This year, Democratic Rep. Ed Perlmutter, who represents a suburban Denver district, is fending off a challenge from wealthy Republican beer magnate Joe Coors. After Akin's rape remark, Perlmutter reminded voters that Coors once financially supported a "personhood" measure in Colorado and tied Coors to Akin.
"Why won't Joe Coors condemn the recent `legitimate rape' remarks of Rep. Akins that even Mitt Romney criticized?" Perlmutter said in a news release. Coors has yet to respond.
Said Coors spokeswoman Michelle Yi, "Joe completely disagrees with Rep. Akin's comments."

I quite liked the idea of Smart Tags. Unlike "Smart Tags Are Evil" Scoble.
I like the way Smart Tags work in Word documents, and I wish they'd been included in IE. Perhaps not in the "sponsored" format that was mooted (links to MSN/Google properties, etc), but in a more fundamental user-configurable sense, I like the idea.
It'd be so useful to have a content recognition engine, and to let users plug in an array of tools that they want. For example, if I see a support incident ID on a web page (SRXblahblahblah) and it doesn't have a hyperlink, why shouldn't I be able to define that item as being hyperlinkable to the site of my choice? Why not take one of a set of actions I define based on that content? Dial a phone number with Skype? IM someone by email alias? Look up someone's location on a map? If it saves me a useless start-other-application-then-copy-and-paste some information, then why not?
Further: what if the website I'm using is internal? Why should a web page developer (or content author) support my desire for an internal hyperlink, when they can't even see or test the result?
Back in 2001, Smart Tags might have saved me a bunch of time spend developing interop code for web applications that wouldn't have needed it if a simple client-side tag could have been implemented.
So actual technology: very useful. Intended purpose is at issue. Guess I'm just a "glass is half full" type of person.
I agree entirely. I wish IE6 had at least kept the SmartTag functionality as an option. It surprises me that there are so few recognizers available. Certainly Microsoft has made the development tools available and made it easier to create new recognizers.
Smart tags are an ANNOYANCE and a HIDERANCE as bad as popovers when browsing. I for one will NEVER support them.
To . - what smart tags are you talking about? And if there were no default tags, you wouldn't notice them (because they wouldn't find any matching content) and so shouldn't be annoyed or hindered by them. I can understand people being annoyed with a "self serving" set of links/recognizers being provided by default (in much the same way that software installers that "offer" to set my home page annoy me), but when a company is providing the basic technology, should they really be expected not to offer some default items?
I think that the majority agree that: A. A user-centric, friendly and simple-to-use smart tag implementation would be a GOOD thing B. (A) will never happen, simply because the potential for abuse is too great. Kind of like SPAM, SPIM and pop-up adds all rolled into one. I for one welcome our new pointy-bracketed overlords ;)
Hi Addy, Maybe - I see B more as a possible outcome of allowing someone untrusted to install recognizers and tags, and at least in the current MS implementation, they're hardly in the same category as popups (User action causes smart tags to appear on user demand). Essentially, is a multi-dimensional pop-up link requiring user action with (say, mandated) text and an optional icon really in the same category as a popup or spam? And then: even if the top link points to MSN? :) BTW, when's the new BlogWave due out!? :)
Co-link is a non-IE specific implementation of the same idea. Looks kinda nifty, but I'm dubious about the real world spam to usefullness ratio.
Thanks G - interesting implementation, as long as I didn't have to share my links with everyone else (the test page is looking a bit crowded for my liking). Republishing link without the A bits: http://www.pontomidia.com.br/ricardo/colinks/program_en/view_text.php?id_texto=6
> I for one will NEVER support them. I don't mean to blow your mind, but advertisers are ALREADY USING THEM. To wit, http://itxt.vibrantmedia.com/whatisIntelliTXT.asp?ipid=415&cc=us See it in action on places like AnandTech: http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2360 and, like a creeping rash, it's spreading..
They ain't Smart Tags. They're server-side constructions that use client-side script to create DHTML popups. Still 100% controlled by the content author. This is the future without Smart Tags, and personally, I preferred the Smart Taggy past. Gimme rich controls (**THAT I INSTALLED**, none of this "we think you should look at this stuff" crud) from a context menu over DHTML any day.
I guess my point is that the IntelliTXT of the present is already so hideously bad that I really can't imagine it being any worse. So we agree. IntelliTXT doesn't work in Firefox.. yet. So enjoy that while it lasts. The question you have to ask yourself is, "do I really want to bring children into a dystopian future full of evil smart tags?"
Er, no, I'd rather bring children into a dystopian future filled with large spinning knives (and possibly some special powerups hidden in mushrooms). Evil Self Serving Smart Tags That Aren't Extensible are evil. Given. Extensible smart tags... I'd still want 'em. Looks like I get to write my own smart tag engine. Cue peals of laughter.
Trixie good.

This article explains the use of acoustical sealants for sealing lap joints between polyethylene vapor barriers & sources of acoustical sealants. Our page top photo illustrates use of a fire-retardant foam used at a drain pipe penetration through building walls and floors - a step that also improves sound insulation. Our second photo (below) shows how we finished the plastic pipe chase with foam insulation to stop noise transmission into the occupied building space.

Use of Acoustical Sealant for Sealing Vapor Barriers on Interior WallsReaders who need to know more about the use of acoustical sealants for sound control in buildings or who need to know where to purchase acoustical sealants should see Acoustical Sealant for Sound Control. The question-and-answer article about the indoor use of acoustical sealants or tape products to seal vapor barriers, quotes-from, updates, and comments an original article from Solar Age Magazine and written by Steven Bliss. Question: where do I buy acoustical sealants for use on poly vapor barrier lap joints?The use of acoustical sealant for sealing lap joints between sheets of polyethylene vapor barriers was mentioned in Solar Age Magazine articles (November & December 1982). Do you have any information as to acoustical sealant brand names, suppliers of acoustical sealants, or other products suitable for sealing poly vapor barrier lap joints? Answer: sources of non-skinning, non-curing acoustical sealants for drywall & wall penetrationsThe acoustical sealant mentioned in those magazine articles is a non-skinning, non-curing sealant developed for sound control in drywall construction and in wall perforations (wall penetrations such as around electrical boxes). One such acoustical sealant is available in one-quart cartridges from Tremco. A variety of tapes useful in sealing polyethylene vapor barrier lap joints are available from Ideal Tape, Inc. Their products include a clear polyethylene tape (#415) suitable for all-weather use, and a 2-mil aluminum tape (#488,487) for use with foil surfaces such as foil-faced solid foam insulating board. And almost certainly, poly vapor barrier sealing tapes using foil, poly, or other materials are available from 3-M Corporation.

Comments about Sally Hansen Gel Cuticle Remover, .9 fl oz:
I have been using this product for years. Before I run out I stock up on the next one. the only problem is that it's hard to find currently I can only find it in Target so i am so glad I found it here and get it deliver to my house. I hope they never stop making this, id the only product that works for my at home mani & pedi.

See all my reviews
I don't like this product. I will be buying a replacement and throwing most of this away. It is grainy/gritty, like a facial exfoliant. I like the gel in the blue bottle much better.
Apply onto and under natural nails daily. Massage in to help increase circulation to help stimulate new growth.

This Wristband Tracks Your B-Ball Skills and Suggests Shooting Drills
- Friday November 21, 2014
Using a net-mounted sensor and a wrist-worn companion, the $150 ShotTracker is built to track your buckets and bricks on the basketball court.
Using a net-mounted sensor and a wrist-worn companion, the $150 ShotTracker is built to track your buckets and bricks on the basketball court.
The Killspencer Indoor Mini Basketball Kit has a 24-karat gold rim and a leather net for just under a grand. Basketball sold separately.
You probably won't pick a perfect bracket, but this little trick can optimize your chances of winning the pool you're entering.
I want to jump higher. What basketball player doesn't? Getting up is good for rebounding, shooting, lay-ups, and, of course, the big daddy of all sports moves—dunking. Not that I can dunk. What I can do though, is lace up a pair of Athletic Propulsion Labs basketball shoes, which have a unique distinction: They are banned by the NBA for their ability to improve a player's vertical leap.
Chris Paul. Steve Nash. Jason Kidd. These are three of the NBA's top point guards of the past 15 years. But while they share a position, their style of play and court production share less in common than you'd think.
The NBA has released its deepest set of statistics ever, a trove of data that will let you, among other things, settle once and for all such pressing questions as whether the 1992 Chicago Bulls were better than the '96 Bulls.
3D Systems, the industrial 3-D printing giant, is expanding its desktop line of printers with the oversized, multicolor-printing CubeX printers.
Nike continues its full-court press into basketball quantification with a new signature shoe from King James.
A basketball fanatic and a math whiz want to do for basketball what Bill James and sabermetrics did for baseball, and their innovative way of parsing data could revolutionize game analysis, providing coaches with new insights while making the game more fun to watch.
When paired with an iPhone or iPod, Nike's new sensor-laden Hyperdunk basketball shoes can measure your on-court performance.

To see what Ukraine's future may be, just look at Lviv's shameful past
A seemingly cosmopolitan city is a nationalist stronghold and monument to ethnic cleansing, as its barbaric wartime treatment of Jews illustrated
I used to visit Lviv, the beautiful, cosmopolitan-looking city in western Ukraine with its attractive mix of Italian, Austrian and Slavic architecture. It is in a much fought-over part of Europe and battles swirled around it in both world wars, but its ancient churches and cobbled streets somehow escaped destruction.
Appearances are deceptive because, though the buildings in Lviv have survived, the same cannot be said for most of its inhabitants. In 1939, the majority of the people in Lviv were Poles and Jews, with Ukrainians making up less than one fifth of the population. But the Jews were murdered and the Poles forced by Stalin to resettle in eastern parts of Germany ceded to Poland. Only the Ukrainians remained.
I thought about Lviv again last week when I saw a sentence in a newspaper referring to it as "a bastion of Ukrainian nationalism".
I wondered just how much the writer knew about Ukrainian nationalists in Lviv and the strong evidence that, in 1941, they had played a leading role in one of the horror stories of the Second World War.
This was the Lviv pogrom of 1 July 1941, when thousands of Jews were dragged from their homes, beaten and executed by either German troops or their Ukrainian helpers. Ukrainian politicians and historians have denied complicity, but surviving Jewish victims, other witnesses and contemporary photographs prove that Ukrainian militiamen and mobs of supporters carried out the pogrom, though the Germans oversaw it and committed many of the murders.
Of course, it does not follow that the present generation of Ukrainian nationalists are ideological descendants of pro-Nazi Ukrainians. But the Lviv pogrom and Ukraine's grim history of sectarian and ethnic slaughter does explain why many in Ukraine fear an ultra-nationalist resurgence. A rabbi in Kiev, Moshe Reuven Azman, last month called on Jews to leave the city and possibly even the country. "I don't want to tempt fate," he told the Israeli daily Maariv, "but there are constant warnings concerning intentions to attack Jewish institutions."
What really happened in Lviv in July 1941 has been meticulously researched – drawing on a wealth of eyewitness information – by Professor John-Paul Himka, a Canadian-Ukrainian historian at the University of Alberta. In a study entitled The Lviv Pogrom of 1941: The Germans, Ukrainian Nationalists and the Carnival Crowd he concludes that the murderous assault on the Jewish community in Lviv – swelled by Jews fleeing the advance of fascism and anti-Semitism in other parts of central Europe – was primarily carried out by the militia of the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) acting under German auspices. It happened quickly after the German occupation because the OUN wanted to show "the Germans that it shared their anti-Jewish perspectives and that it was worthy to be entrusted with the formation of a Ukrainian state".
Lviv lies dangerously close to the ethnic, religious and military fault lines of Europe. And, as with other cosmopolitan cities, past and present, such as Beirut, Smyrna, Alexandria and Damascus, it was an excitingly diverse but potentially risky place to live. At different times it has been ruled by Poland, Austria (under the Habsburgs), the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany and, finally, an independent Ukraine. It had been known at different times, depending on which country it belonged to, as Lwow, Lemberg, Lvov and Lviv.
Between 1918 and 1939, it was part of Poland until invaded by the Soviet Union under the Nazi-Soviet Pact. At this time, it had a population of 312,231, of whom 157,490 were Poles, 99,595 were Jews, and 49,747 were Ukrainians. The Jews were well represented among the professions providing most of the doctors, lawyers and businessmen as well as dominating such trades as tailoring and barber shops. In the territory around Lviv, Ukrainians made up at least two-thirds of the population.
A crowd surrounds a young woman during the1941 progrom The German army captured Lviv on 30 June 1941, the Soviet NKVD secret police massacred several thousand political prisoners in the jails when they realised that the Germans could not be stopped. The next day, the pogrom started with Jews being compelled to dig up the rotting bodies of the dead prisoners. Others were ritually humiliated by being forced to clean the streets with tooth brushes or remove horse manure by putting it in their hats. "Judging by the photographs, gentiles in Lviv found the cleaners amusing," writes Professor Himka. "To some extent, the pogrom was a carnival." Women were stripped naked and beaten and hundreds of Jews were forced to crawl for miles to the prisons.
Kurt Lewin, a survivor, left a detailed account of what happened to him in one prison and he described "savage beatings by both Germans and Ukrainians", said Simka. "One Ukrainian particularly carved himself into Lewin's memory. Elegantly dressed in a beautifully embroidered shirt, he beat the Jews with an ironclad cane. Strips of skin flew with every blow, sometimes an ear or an eye." When his cane broke the man chose a heavier piece of wood with which to beat a man to death.
A recent Jewish theatre festival Edward Spicer, 22 at the time, recalled being caught by a group of Ukrainians near his home and taken to a nearby railway station: "First they were beating us all the way, then they pushed us down the staircase, until we were piled up one on top of another five-six high." Later, the Jews were made to lie on the ground and anybody who moved was killed with a rifle butt. Many were later taken away in trucks by the Germans to be shot. Professor Himka says the Ukrainians co-operating with the Germans and spearheading the pogrom were members of a militia formed the previous day who often had no uniform and were identifiable only by blue and yellow armbands, worn on the left arm. The Jews were later forced into a ghetto and by the time the Red Army recaptured Lviv in 1944 only 200 to 300 of those Jews were still alive.
The OUN militia did not confine itself to killing Jews. Later in the war, it murdered tens of thousands of Poles in western Ukraine. I was in Lviv in 2001 when Poland's National Remembrance Institute was investigating the massacre of 35,000 Polish villagers in 1943.
I visited the Polish Consulate where an official named Wicenty Debicki did not directly answer my question about the investigation, but he gave a bit of personal biography. "I was born in Lviv," he said. "I remember as a small boy having to hide from Ukrainian nationalist groups with my father, in 1944, because we were Poles."
A Ukrainian woman translating Mr Debicki's Polish interjected to ask in surprise: "But surely you were frightened of the Germans and Soviets as well?" After a long pause, he replied diplomatically that there was good reason to fear both.
Lviv presents itself as a beautiful city reflecting a culturally diverse past. In reality, it is a monument to ethnic cleansing and the appalling willingness of long-time neighbours to murder each other, as I saw earlier this year in Homs and Damascus – something those who want to heat up the conflict over Ukraine and Crimea's future should keep in mind.

"You've been dead for around 25 years now." Also in the Lynch department: For the new Blu-Ray collection Twin Peaks: The Entire Mystery (take my money!), David Lynch interviews the Palmer family, in character. The Leland/Ray Wise one is below. It's, er, weird…but you already knew that.
Cinephile Archive offers a smattering of rare Twin Peaks arcana. Worth a look-thru if you're Peaks-inclined…Alas, it still doesn't answer the real question: How's Annie?
Update: Harlem is not amused.
Twenty years after its opening, Grantland's Alex Pappademas takes another look at Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. I never understood the hate this film received. (Then again, I also liked Peaks' much-maligned second season.) Sure, it's a bit all over the place, but there are impressionistic moments in Fire Walk With Me — the trapped Leland monkey, the picture-within-a-picture, the phantom Bowie — that still frighten me for reasons I find impossible to explain, much in the same way some of the third act bizarroland suicide stuff in Mulholland Drive — the blue box, the creepy homeless guy, the little tourists — seems to bypass my brain completely and just frazzles my spinal cord. And what's not to like about Special Agent Chet Desmond?
"'As a David Lynch movie, I loved it,' he said of the 1984 "Dune" adaptation by the famously trippy 'Twin Peaks' filmmaker. 'As a "Dune" fan, I was not such a big fan.'" Taken and From Paris with Love director Pierre Morel talks about his next project, Dune, and so far he's saying all the right things: "I've been reading it over and over again – well, I'm 45 now, so for 30 years…[B]y the time I bought the sixth book I had already read the first one six times! So, I'm a hardcore fan."

The FDA's new UDI regulation places a significant burden on medical device firms to mine vast stores of product data for the information required to prepare and electronically file UDI-compliant submissions. Learn how the PTC UDI Solution dramatically reduces the complexity and cost of compliance.
UDI Compliance without Complexity
In order to improve patient safety, the FDA created a new regulation requiring the standard identification of every medical device throughout its supply chain journey. To meet this newly proposed regulation for UDI (Unique Device Identification), medical device manufactures and their suppliers must label every product, product version, and product configuration with a unique, 14-digit identifier. What's more, a wide range of critical device information is required to be submitted to the FDA's new GUDID (Global Unique Device Identifier Database) to more effectively track adverse events and safety issues to specific products. Not complying with this regulation would bar device sales across state lines, which means that noncompliance is not an option for medical device manufacturers in the US.
Working with the FDA and major medical device manufacturers, PTC has developed an efficient, cost-effective solution to help companies manage UDI submissions and gain compliance, while ensuring scalability to meet future FDA or worldwide requirements for UDI.
The PTC advantage is fueled by technology solutions that transform the way you create, operate and service products.

CNN's Suzanne Kelly looks at who said what and when about what happened in the attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi.
The Benghazi attack was planned with anticipation. It was premeditated by the person or the Republicans that did the movie. You see, the USA was warned about Libya, no other Muslim country but Libya. So why precisely Libya? Because that was the plan. The people who did the movie are Republicans and they are the only ones that knew that a movie was coming out that would cause retaliation. So they decided to bring it our on the Anniversary of 911, the day they, the Republicans framed the Muslims with 911. They chose Libya, they warned The USA that Libya would be needing more security and since the USA did not know about their plot they did not see the need for more security. And so the Republicans won. They got to blame the muslims and President Obama in one day.
