The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The United States announced this week that it is reconsidering the
location of ballistic defense systems in Poland and Czechoslovakia Rumors
are running wild this week in Poland and the Czech Republic that the US
has reconsidered its location of ballistic defense systems in their
countries. The rumors stem from a top US bmd lobbying group that said this
past week that the US's plan was all but dead. Such rumors on top of the
US not accepting an invitation to Poland's WWII anniversary-in which
Russia will be in attendance-has shed a poor light on US-Polish relations.
. This is no surprise, since Obama ran on the platform of removing them,
and that he has delayed this long in doing it. Nor is it certain that the
missile shield will move. That will depend both on the upcoming talks at
the G-8 on Iran and on Russia's response to those talks. If Russia does
not cooperate in sanctions, but continues to maintain close relations with
Iran, we suspect that the BMD plan will remain intact. Still, the
announcement rumors is an occasion to look once more at U.S. and
WsternWestern relations with Russia and how they have evolved.
There is a recurring theme in the discussions between Russia and the West
over the past year: the return of the Cold War. President Barack Obama,
for example, accused Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin of having one
foot in the Cold War. The Russians have accused the Americans of thinking
in terms of the Cold War. Eastern Europeans have expressed fears that the
Russians continue to view their relationship with Europe in terms of the
Cold War. Other Europeans have expressed concern that both Americans and
Russians might drag Europe into another Cold War.
For many in the West, the more mature and stable relationship for
Western-Russian relationships is what they call the "post-cold war
world." In this world, the Russians no longer regard the West as an enemy
and view the other republics of the former Soviet Union as independent
states free to forge whatever relations they wish with the West. Indeed,
Russia should welcome or at least be indifferent to these matters. Russia
should be concentrating on their economic development, integrating lessons
learned from the West into political and social thinking. In so doing the
Russians should stop thinking in politico-military terms-the terms of the
cold war-and think instead in the new paradigm in which Russia is part of
the Western economic system, albeit a backward one, needing time and
institution building in order to become a full partner in the West. All
other thinking is a throwback to the Cold War.
This was the meaning of the concept of resetting U.S.-Russian relations.
Hillary Clinton's "reset" box was meant to move U.S.-Russian relations
away from what the U.S. thought of as a return to the Cold War, to the
healthier period that existed between 1991 and the deterioration of
U.S.-Russian relations after the 2004 Ukrainian Orange Revolution. The
U.S. was in a bi-modal condition. Either it was the Cold War or it was
the post-Cold War World.
The Russians took a more jaundiced view of the post-Cold War world. For
them, rather than a period of reform, it was a period of decay and chaos.
Old institutions had collapsed but new institutions had not emerged.
Rather, there was the chaos of privatization, essentially a wild free for
all in which social order collapsed. Western institutions, from banks to
universities, from banks to universities were complicit in this collapse.
Western banks were eager to take advantage of the new pools of privately
expropriated money, while Western advisors were eager to advise the
Russians on how to become Westerners. In the meantime, workers were
unpaid, life expectancy declined and the basic institutions that had
provided order under communism decayed or worse, became complicit in the
looting. The Post Cold War world was not a happy time in Russia.
Herein lies the gulf between the West and the Russians. The West divides
the world between the Cold War and the post-Cold War world. It clearly
prefers the post-cold war world, not so much because of the social
condition of Russia, but because the post-Cold War world was freed from
the geopolitical challenge posed by the Soviet Union. From wars of
national liberation to the threat of nuclear war-all of this was gone.
From the Russian point of view, the social chaos of the post-Cold War
world was unbearable, and the end of a Russian challenge to the West, from
the Russian point of view, meant that they were helpless in the face of
Western plans for reordering the institutions of the region, indifferent
to Russian interests.
Westerners think in term of two eras, the Cold War and the Post-Cold War
era. This distinction is institutionalized in Western expertise on
Russia. It divides into totwo classes of Russian expert. There are those
who came to maturity during the Cold War, in the 1970s and 1980s, whose
basic framework is to think of Russia as a global threat. There are then
those who came to maturity in the later 1980s and 1990s. Their view of
Russia is of a failed state that can stabilize its situation for a time by
subordinating itself to Western institutions and values, or continue its
inexorable decline.
These two generations clash constantly. What is most interesting is that
the distinction is not so much ideological as generational. The older
group looks at Russian behavior with a jaundiced eye, assuming that
Vladimir Putin, a KGB man, has in mind the resurrection of Soviet power.
But it is the post-Cold War generation that controlled U.S.-Russian policy
during both the Clinton and Bush administrations that is the most
interesting. Both believed in the idea that economic liberalization and
political liberalization were inextricably bound together. Both believed
during their time of power and influence, that Russia was headed in the
right direction if only it did not try to reassert itself politically and
militarily, and if it did not try to control the economy or society with
excessive state power. Both saw the Russian evolution during the
mid-to-late 2000s as an unfortunate and unnecessary development that was
moving Russia away from the path that was best for it, and sees the Cold
War generation's response to Russia's behavior as counter-productive.
U.S.-and other Western-understanding of Russia is trapped in a
non-productive paradigm. For Russia, the choice isn't between the Cold War
or the Post-Cold War World, but if you will, a post-post Cold War World.
Or to get away from excessive posts, a world in which Russia is a major
regional power, with a stable if troubled economy, a functional society,
and regional interests that it must protect.
Russia cannot go back to the Cold War. The Cold War consisted of three
parts. First, there was the nuclear relationship. Then, there was the
Russian military threat to both Europe and China, the ability to deploy
force throughout the Eurasian land mass. Finally, there were the wars of
national liberation, funded and guided by the Soviets, designed to create
allied powers on a global scale and sap the power of the United States in
endless counter-insurgencies. The nuclear balance is there, but by itself
is hollow. Without other dimensions of Russian power, the threat to
engage in mutual assured destruction has little meaning. Russia's military
could potentially re-evolve to pose a Eurasian threat. As we have pointed
out before, in Russia, the status of the economy does not historically
correlate to Russian military power. At the same time, it will take a
generation of development to threaten the domination of the European
Finally, while Russia could certainly fund insurgencies, the ideological
power of Marxism is gone, and Russia is not a Marxist state. Building
wars of national liberation around pure finance is not as easy as it
There is no road back to the Cold War. Nor is there are road back to the
post-Cold War period. The West had a period in which it could destroy the
Russian Federation in the mid to late 1990s. Instead, the West chose a
combined strategy of ignoring Russia while torturing and irritating it
with economic policies that were unhelpful to say the least, and military
policies, like Kosovo, that were designed to drive home Russia's
impotence. There is the old saw of not teasing a bear but, if you must,
killing it. The West under the myth of nation building, thought it could
rebuild Russia in its own image. To this day, most of the post-Cold War
experts to not grasp the degree to which Russians saw there efforts at
deliberate efforts to destroy Russia, and are committed never to return to
that time. It is hard to image anything as infuriating for the Russians
as the reset button the Clinton administration Russia experts-now
dominating Obama's Russia policy-seriously presented the Russian
leadership. They do not intend to return to the Post-Cold War era western
experts recall so fondly.
An example of the Cold Warriors response to Russia is the resurrection of
talks on the reduction of nuclear stockpiles. These START talks were once
urgent matters. They are not urgent any longer. The threat of nuclear war
is not part of the equation, and reducing the nuclear arsenal might be of
interest to the Russians, but it is no longer a fundamental issue to
them. Some have suggested using these talks as a confidence building
measure. From the Russian point of view, START is a peripheral issue, and
an indication that the United States is not prepared to take their
current, pressing interests seriously.
The lectures on human rights and economic liberalization by the Cold
Warriors fall on similarly deaf ears. The period in which human rights
and economic liberalization were centerpieces of Russian state policy are
remembered-and not only by the political elite-as among the worst periods
of recent Russian history. No one wants to go back there, and what they
hear from Western officials is constant calls to return to chaos. The
conviction is that the post-Cold War officials want to finish the job they
began. The critical point, that post-Cold War officials frequently don't
grasp, is that they are seen as at least as dangerous to Russian interests
as the original Cold Warriors.
The Russian view is that neither the Cold War nor the post-Cold War is the
proper paradigm. Russia is not challenging the United States for global
hegemony. Nor is Russia prepared to simply allow the West to create an
alliance of nations around Russia's border. The matter in Georgia is the
noisiest, but it is not the key to Russia's concerns; that's Ukraine. So
long as he United States is serious about including Ukraine in NATO, the
United States represents a direct threat to Russian national security. A
glance at a map shows why the Russians think this.
Russia is the dominant power in the former Soviet Union. Its economic
strategy is to focus on the development and export of primary commodities,
from natural gas to grain. In order to do this is wants to align primary
commodity policies in the Republics of the former Soviet Union. Economic
and strategic interests combine to make the status of the former Soviet
republics a primary strategic interest. This neither a perspective from
the Cold War or from the post-Cold War, but a logical Russian perspective
on a new age.
Russia remains interested in eastern Europe as well. It is not seeking
hegemony but a neutral buffer zone between Germany in particular and the
former Soviet Union. It sees the Polish missiles and Baltic membership in
NATO as direct and unnecessary challenges to Russian national interest.
As the United States causes them discomfort, it will cause discomfort to
the United States. The American sore spot is the middle east and Iran in
particular. Therefore, the Russians will respond to American pressure on
them where it hurts the most.
The Cold Warriors don't understand the limits of Russian power. The
post-Cold Warriors don't understand the degree to which they are
distrusted-and the logic behind that distrust. They confuse it with a
hangover from the Cold War, rather than a direct response to what they see
as the post-Cold War policies they nurtured.
This is not an argument for the West to accommodated the Russians. There
are grave risks there. Russian intentions right now do not forecast what
Russian intentions might be if they were secure in the FSU, and had a
neutralized Poland. The logic of such things is that as problems are
solved, opportunities are created. One must think forward to what might
happen through accommodation.
At the same time it is vital to understand that neither the Cold War nor
post-Cold War model is sufficient to understand Russian intentions and
responses right now. We recall the feeling, when the Cold War ended, that
a known and understandable world was gone. The same thing is now
happening to the post-Cold War experts. The world in which they operated
has dissolved. A very different and complex world has taken its place.
Reset buttons are symbols of a return to the past the Russians reject.
START talks are from a world far away and long ago. This issues now
revolve around Russia's desire for a sphere of influence, and the
willingness and ability of the West to block that ambition.
Somewhere between BMD in Poland and Iran, the West must make a strategic
decision about Russia, and live with the consequences.

Teen Mom might get a fifth season, but it might happen without Farrah Abraham. According to Us Weekly, Maci Bookout, Amber Portwood, and Catelynn Lowell are currently negotiating with MTV about a potential return for the series, but Farrah has been left out because of her sex tape-making ways. The Us source reports that MTV executives "willingly cut Farrah" from talks about the show and feel that she "set a bad example and doesn't represent the network well."
It's interesting that Farrah's sex tape is considered offensive enough for termination when another Teen Mom cast member pled guilty to felony domestic violence during the actual run of the show. Farrah's got a lot of other stuff going on, though, like the trilogy of erotic novels she's writing. If she has to sacrifice appearing on Teen Mom for the sake of her literary art, then so be it.

US 5417419 A Abstract A golf club head that comprises a main body portion formed by an investment casting of a first metallic material, and forming a cavity; a face reinforcement plate formed of metallic material, only the periphery of the face reinforcement plate is integral with the main body portion to support the plate, the plate forming a recess bounded by a peripheral lip; and a non-metallic ball striking second plate received in a recess and retained therein.
Claims(10) 1. The method of forming a high strength, metallic, golf club head, which includes:
a) providing a golf club head main body consisting of metal, and a metallic face reinforcement plate peripherally connected to said main body which is hollow, b) said reinforcement plate forming a recess bounded by a lip, c) providing a non-metallic ball striking second plate, and affixing said second plate to said reinforcement plate, so as to be inset in said recess and bounded by said lip, said step of providing a non-metallic ball striking second plate includes connecting the periphery of the second face plate to said lip; and including grinding said lip and said second plate to form a forwardly facing smooth head surface wherein the forward face of the non-metallic second plate is flush with the forward facing surface of the metallic lip. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein said reinforcement plate has a thickness of about 2 mm, and said grinding is carried out to reduce the thickness of the second plate to about 2 mm.
3. A golf club head comprising:
a) a main body portion formed by casting of a first metallic material, and forming a cavity, b) a front face reinforcement plate formed of metallic material, only the periphery of said face reinforcement plate being integral with said main body portion to support said plate, said plate forming a recess bounded by a peripheral lip, c) and a non-metallic ball striking second plate received in said recess and retained therein, said front face reinforcement plate is a forged metal plate which is welded to said head main body portion in abutting relation to said second plate. 4. The golf club head of claim 3 wherein said forged metal plate has a looping periphery which is welded to said head main body portion.
5. The golf club head of claim 4 wherein said ball striking second plate defines a plane that intersects said welded looping periphery.
6. The golf club head of claim 4 wherein said head main body portion defines a looping recess receiving said looping periphery of said forged metal plate.
7. The golf club head of claim 6 wherein said looping periphery of the forged metal plate is generally trapezoidal about the non-metallic second plate.
8. The golf club head of claim 3 wherein the head main body portion and the forged metal plate both consist of substantially the same metal.
9. The golf club head of claim 8 wherein the second plate consists of graphite.
10. The method of forming a high strength golf club head that includes
a) forming a thin cast metallic golf club head body having a front opening, the body forming toe, heel and rearward portion of the head, b) forming a forged metal plate of a size to close said front opening, and having a frontwardly facing recess, c) peripherally welding the forged plate to the cast body to close said front opening and to peripherally support the plate, d) and providing a graphite plate of a size to fill said recess, and fitting said graphite plate into said recess and attaching the graphite plate to the forged plate. Description This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/714,181, filed on Jun. 14, 1991, which was abandoned upon the filing hereof which was continuation-in-part of Application Ser. No. 07,492,973, filed Mar. 13, 1990, issued on Jun. 18, 1991, as U.S. Pat. No. 5,024,437, which was a continuation-in-part application Ser. No. 07/364,698, filed Jun. 12, 1989, now abandoned. This invention relates to golf clubs and more particularly to an improved face plate construction for a metal wood configuration golf club head. Golf clubs have been formed as a one-piece casting of durable materials, such as stainless steel, and other metals. A head of this type is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,021,047 issued May 3, 1977 to R. J. Mader. Face plates made of a different material than that of the main body of the club head have been used in both irons and "wood"-type heads. Examples are enclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,792,140, issued Dec. 20, 1988, to Yamaguchi et al.; U.S. Pat. No. 4,534,558 issued Aug. 13, 1985, to Yoneyama; U.S. Pat. No. 3,218,072, issued Nov. 16, 1965, to Burr; and British Patent No. 1,227,948 issued Apr. 15, 1971, to Haines et al. In the heads of these prior art patents, no way was known to provide a non-metallic face plate in a hollow, thin walled, metal head of wood type configuration, in the simple effective manner as now afforded by the present invention. The golf club head of the present invention provides an improvement over prior art heads in that it utilizes a face plate of non-metallic material which is supported by a thin reinforcement plate interposed between the face plate and the head hollow or cavity. This result is achieved without greatly increasing the cost or weight of the wood type head by forming the main body of the head and the reinforcement plate as an investment casting of a material such as stainless steel, beryllium copper, titanium, or aluminum, and then attaching the non-metallic face plate to the reinforcement plate, in a recess formed by the latter. The thin non-metallic face plate, when reinforced as disclosed herein, slightly compresses when impacted by the ball, and restores as the ball leaves that face plate as aided by flat spring action of the reinforcing metal plate, to enhance ball and driving control; also the sound of face plate impact with the ball is favorable and desirable. Accordingly, the invention is embodied in a golf club head that includes: a) a main body portion formed by an investment casting of a first metallic material, and forming a cavity, b) a front face reinforcement plate formed of metallic material, only the periphery of the face reinforcement plate being integral with the main body portion to support the plate, the plate forming a recess bounded by a peripheral lip, c) and a non-metallic ball striking second plate received in that recess and retained therein. As will appear, the main body portion of the head and the reinforcement plate may consist essentially of a cast metal selected from the group consisting of steel, beryllium copper, and aluminum; and the second, i.e. outer face plate typically consists of a material selected from the group consisting of graphite, ceramic, and KEVLAR. The second plate is preferably bonded to the reinforcement plate and compressed to peripherally pressurally engage the lip bounding the recess, graphite being a preferred material for this purpose. Further, the second plate typically has generally trapezoidal forward facing configuration with top and bottom elongated, shallowly curved extents, the top curved extent being upwardly convex, and the bottom curved extent being downwardly convex; and it may have sideward extents respectively convex toward the club head toe and heel. The method of forming the metallic golf club head, of wood configuration, includes the steps a) providing a golf club head main body consisting of metal, and a metallic front face reinforcement plate peripherally connected to said main body which is hollow, b) said reinforcement plate forming a recess bounded by a lip, c) providing a non-metallic ball striking second plate, and affixing the second plate to the reinforcement plate, so as to be inset in that recess and bounded by said lip. Another object is to provide a method as referred to which includes the step of grinding the lip and said second plate to form a forwardly facing smooth ball striking head surface wherein the forward face of the non-metallic second plate is flush with the forward facing surface of the peripheral metallic lip. Such grinding is typically carried out to reduce the thickness of the graphite plate to a thickness of about 2 mm, and the metallic reinforcement plate also having about the same thickness, so as to flex slightly, as the graphite plate is compressed, during ball impact. This combination of compression and flexing aids in providing favorable ball striking and control, during the swing of the club. A further object is to provide a forged metal plate carrying the graphite plate, and welded to a cast head main body portion, to enhance strength and weight re-distribution. These and other objects and advantages of the invention, as well as the details of an illustrative embodiment, will be more fully understood from the following specification and drawings, in which: FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of a club head embodying the invention; FIG. 2 is a section taken on lines 2--2 of FIG. 1; FIG. 3 is a fragmentary section taken on lines 3--3 of FIG. 1; FIG. 4 is a sectional view like that of FIG. 2, but showing the method of assembling and shaping the non-metallic front plate as well as the lip of the metallic body; FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing certain steps carried out in forming the club head; FIG. 6 is a view like FIG. 2, showing a modification; and FIG. 7 is a frontal view of the FIG. 6 head. In FIGS. 1-3, a golf club head 10 includes a thin top wall 11, upwardly crowned; a thin flat bottom wall or sole 12; a thin toe wall 13; a thin heel wall 14; a thin rear wall 15; and a hosel 16 to which a golf club shaft 16A is suitably connected. Elements 11-15 define a main body portion formed, for example, by investment casting indicated at 50 in FIG. 5, using metallic material such as stainless steel, aluminum, beryllium copper, titanium, etc. The head has the configuration of a golf "wood" head, and forms a hollow or cavity 17. The head also includes a front face reinforcement plate 18, which typically is formed of the same material as the main body portion of the head. It may be investment cast at the same time as the main body portion, and is integral with the latter. The principle extent of the plate 18 facing the cavity 17 is un-supported, i.e. only the plate looping periphery is joined to the main body portion, to support the plate. Immediately forward of the junction location 21, the plate is thickened to form a peripheral lip 23 that loops about, or bounds, a recess 22 extending parallel to and at the immediate front side of the plate 18. As shown in FIGS. 1-3, a non-metallic ball striking second plate 25 is received or inset in the recess and retained therein. Plate 25 is affixed to reinforcement plate 18, and inner wall 23a of lip 23. Typically, the bounding edge or rim 25A of plate 25 firmly presses against wall 23A to form a tight fit therewith. To this end, the front plate 25 may be slightly oversized (peripherally) when pressed into position in the recess; also, the plate 25 may have oversized thickness t1 (see FIG. 4) when pressed into the recess. This step is indicated at 52 in FIG. 5. See force arrows F1 in FIG. 4. Epoxide resin may be employed at the interface 26 between plates 18 and 25, and also at the peripheral interface between 25a and 23a, to bond the plate 25 in position. See step 51 in FIG. 5. After such intervention, the plate 25, and the bounding lip 23, are typically ground down to a level or plane indicated by broken line 28 in FIG. 4, to create a flush interface as seen at surfaces 25c and 23c in FIG. 2. See step 53 in FIG. 5. Polished surface 23c bounds the plate 25, as in a modified trapezoidal loop, clearly indicated in FIG. 1. Thus, plate 25 has upper and lower outwardly shallowly convex edges 25d and 25e, and left and right outwardly shallowly convex edges 25f and 25g, with rounded corners at 25h-25k. Plate 18 has the same general peripheral configuration, to co-act with plate 25 but in a flexing rather than a compressive manner during ball striking, referred to below. The plate 25 preferably consists of graphite, such as a composite of graphite fibers; however, other materials such as ceramic or KEVLAR may be employed. Preferably, the final thickness of the plate 25 indicated at t2 in FIG. 2, is about 2 mm; and the thickness t3 of reinforcement plate 23 is also about 2 mm, over their bonded together extents. Thus, when striking a golf ball at high head speed, as during a golf swing, the plate 25 slightly resiliently compresses, and the plate 23 slightly flexes, plate 25 serving to spread the compressive force application over area of plate 23. The combination of local compressive deflection of plate 25 and flexing of plate 23 serves to control ball handling and distribute impact loading during contact of the ball with the head. The lightweight, non-metallic plate 25 also enables some reduction in thickness of heavier metal plate 23, without diminution of total strength of both plates. This is of particular importance in a hollow wood head configuration, where weight limitation exists. Thus, if weight is reduced by use of plates 23 and 25, instead of a single metal face plate of thickness t2 and t3, said weight saving can go to increased head size. Finally, shallow horizontal grooves 40 can be cut in the surface of non-metallic plate 25, to a depth less than t2, and the head otherwise finished as by polishing, etc. These steps appear at 54 and 55 in FIG. 5. Synthetic resinous foam filler 42 appears in FIGS. 2 and 3, and serves along with plate 25 to deaden the sound created by head impact with a golf ball. Resin 42 engages the inner side 18i of metal plate 23, for this purpose. Confinement of metal plate 18 between two sound deadening non-metallic materials at 25 and 42, serves to dampen or deaden sound waves. FIG. 2 indicates a plugged port 45, via which synthetic resin may be introduced, prior to plugging. Other known techniques of resin fill into a hollow cavity may be employed. In FIGS. 6 and 7, the construction of the golf club head is like that of FIG. 2, with certain exceptions. Reinforcement plate 118 (corresponding to plate 18) is here a forged metal plate which is welded to the head main body portion (casting) 11-15. Thus, the forged metal plate has a looping periphery 118a welded to the main body portion. See looping weld 150, which is generally trapezoidal and is intersected by a plane 151 defined by the second plate 25. The latter is the same as in FIGS. 1-5, and may be press-fitted into plate 118. The head main body portion (casting) has a lip 123 (corresponding to lip 23) which defines a looping recess 153 that receives the looping periphery of the plate 118, the latter seated on a ledge or ledges 154 formed by the lip 123. Weld 150 also extends in the recess 153. Both the recess 153 and plate periphery 118a are generally trapezoidal about the second plate 25. The forged plate 118 and head main body portions 11-15, and 123 may both consist of the same metal, such as stainless steel. After assembly, the elements 123, 150, 118 and 25 may be surface ground, as described before, as in FIG. 4. The use of a forged metal plate 118 provides enhanced strength for absorbing golf ball impact loading from plate 25 (and distributed by plate 25); and the thus enabled reduced thickness of the plate 118, together with the trapezoidal configuration of weld metal, enables increased head weight distribution toward the toe and heel, as is desired to resist head twist during such ball impact, while also benefitting from the advantage of non-metallic plate 25, as described.

The Planning Commission raised the issue of pedestrian safety over two years ago, Chair Craig Porter noted, recalling the commission's unrealized proposal to install pedestrian crossing signs at numerous intersections across the city, which was recommended to the City Council and partially implemented. "A couple years ago we started talking about this, saying, 'We need to start doing something about pedestrian traffic in this town,'" Porter said.
Commission member Mandi Olson noted that some city crosswalk markings have faded. As the group prepared to vote on a motion to support the chamber's campaign, she proposed including a recommendation that city staff repaint faded or missing crosswalks. Her suggestion was not included in the motion.
Planning Commission members also briefly discussed who is to blame for pedestrian accidents. The chamber's campaign places special focuses on college students. Business leaders' concerns over students stepping out in front of trucks on Main Street was part of the impetus for the chamber's campaign. Chamber president Della Schmidt distributed samples of the flyers her organization hopes to post at downtown restaurants and bars popular with university students. One poster intended for a bathroom stall warns pedestrian imbibers, "Tomorrow you may feel like a truck hit you. Tonight, make sure one doesn't. Cross only at corners and obey traffic signals." Other posters caution that "distracted walking is dangerous walking," or tell drivers to "stop for pedestrians at every corner. Seriously, it's the law."
School children know to stop and look both ways before crossing the street, but high school and college students just step out in front of cars and have a "because the law says I can" attitude about entering the crosswalk in front of cars, said Planning Commission member Dale Boettcher, who also works for the chamber. "Who's responsible? All of us drivers," Boettcher said of such driver-pedestrian conflicts. "That's the problem we are, they're not."
"It's not only driver awareness, it's pedestrian and driver awareness," said Louie Byrne, chairman of the chamber's transportation committee, of the campaign. "We're not pointing fingers for who's at fault, it's just an awareness thing. Hopefully we can get some of that into people's heads, especially college kids. I don't want to blame college kids,
because everyone does it, but they walk into an intersection on Huff Street or whatever and they immediately think, 'Well, it's the law for that car to stop.' Well, the person in that car is a lot more protected than the person who is walking or riding a bike."
The campaign, known as "Share the Road," was developed by the Minnesota Department of Transportation and has been used across the state. It states that the pedestrians and motorists are equally at fault for pedestrian-vehicle accidents, with each group responsible for about 50 percent of accidents. It is unclear whether that statistic is true in Winona. The Winona Post reviewed every pedestrian-vehicle accident in Winona from the last five years and found that out of 23 total accidents, drivers struck pedestrians in the crosswalk in ten cases including two accidents in which two pedestrians were struck did not see pedestrians in another four cases, and failed to yield in one case. A driver was cited for careless driving following another accident. Pedestrians dashed out in front of cars or crossed against traffic lights in six cases. A pedestrian was hit while walking on Sarnia Street in another case.
Schmidt remarked on the number of cars that "blow through" stop signs at Main and Second streets and noted the importance of pedestrian safety to downtown businesses, saying, "We always want downtown to be stroll-able."
The chamber has tentatively planned to have volunteers march across crosswalks with banners at Main and Seventh streets, Huff and Ninth streets, Main and Fourth streets, LaFayette and Second streets, Main and 11th street, and Lafayette Street and Broadway on September 18. Schmidt and Byrne appealed for the city's advice on their choice of locations. They will seek the City Council's input and approval next Monday. Schmidt says she hopes that the campaign can become an annual event, perhaps every September, when college students return.

Hello everyone! 2005 simplicity broadmoor. When I go to engage pto engine dies,but if I toggle the mowe in reverse key quickly the motor is fine and the mower will stay running and even cut in reverse. Its got to be the switch or something before the switch that I cant find. I have cleaned the contacts on the pto and the mow in reverse key switch. Any thoughts? thanx! scott |
Follow-Up Postings:
***"but if I toggle the mowe in reverse key quickly the motor is fine and the mower will stay running and even cut in reverse."*** That is the detail that might indicate the reverse gear position switch has failed, or is stuck. If the reverse gear sensing switch is active all the time (thinks the trans is in reverse, even when it is not), that would invoke the engine shut down provision in the PTO MIR safety interlock circuitry. Find the reverse gear sensing switch and unplug it to determine if it is shorted or stuck in the active position. On machines that use a "kill engine" circuit in the No Mow In Reverse interlock wiring, the Key switch position that over rules the interlock......actually REMOVES the reverse sensing switch from the scheme (and that circuit becomes open) so the reverse sensing switch cannot ground the magneto, or the ignition module, whichever is used in the specific application. I don't have a wiring diagram that covers your Simplicity, so I don't know exactly how your machine is configured, but all NMIR systems require a sensor (a switch) that detects reverse gear. A particular OEM might use that sensor to directly kill the engine, or feed that info to a relay that will kill the engine (or at least dis-engage the PTO). If a specific wiring diagram for your tractor could be viewed, a more exact answer might be available. Model numbers and serial numbers are needed to get that kind of detail online. |
serial no is00684 03523 mfg no 1694630 1694036 thanx mownie! I was thinking could there be a button or something that the reverse pedal ingages that is stuck in position that is then making the safty switch think its in reverse? thanx again1 |
I have a 2007 Broadmoor and had exactly the same problem and trouble shooting results. If you slide up under the tractor, you will see a plunger switch that the arm to the forward/reverse pedals pushes against when you go in reverse. On mine, the plunger had "hung up" in the reverse position, I think it was not properly positioned at the factory. A simple tap to the switch to free the plunger and then adjusting it back away from the arm fixed it. |
OK, thanks lake bum :^). Glad to learn about the "tried & true". None of the numbers posted by goblin would satisfy the Simplicity manuals search engine at their website. Does anybody have a bona fide model number that can be plugged in in order to look for an online owners manual/wiring diagram for a similar circa Broadmoor? |

Hi Mownie, the number 1694630 looks like the Broadmoor number, and 1694036 is the deck number. Both these numbers work for me individually on the Simplicity site. I had a similar problem with my 2005 Regent. It went away after I removed and refitted all the switch connectors trying to track down the problem - so on mine it must have been one of these connectors, rather than a switch being out of position. My Regent also has a "neutral" switch near the hydro, but the Broadmoor doesn't seem to have that in the parts diagram. |
OK, either I typed in an incorrect number last night, or something was amiss at the Simplicity site. I typed in the number this morning and voila......a very uninformative owners manual was produced.......no sign of a wiring diagram in it. I guess a wiring diagram is "too technical" for Briggs to give it away "for free". Briggs (but they are not alone) kinda reminds me of the revenue grabbing, ticket writing little towns where the sheriff watches for out of state plates with a pair of binoculars. But that's another rant. Anyway, if somehow, a wiring diagram for one of the Simplicities were to get posted, it sure would be nice. |
Thank you everyone for ypur help. It turned out to be exactly like ikbum said. WD40 on the button seems to have fixed the problem for now. |

i have a simplicity express, all i am getting is a clicking when i try to start it. i was told it may be the safety switch when the nachine is ib neutral, i was told it was spring loaded. does anyone know where i can find the exact location. btw, i teried breaking the engine loose by turning it back and forth from the top and i was alos told to try jumping the cellenoid. i am down to my last few tries before i out it in for service. thoughts? |
How old is the battery? Any battery older than 2 years is not the best to have. The clicking might just be that problem! |
I can't answer for the rest of the fellas, but the problem you described is *normal operation* (at least it is on my Simplicity). If you attempt to back up with the blades engaged, and, you have not turned on the backup switch, the engine is designed to die (it's a safety feature reminding you to look in back of the tractor for any kids, dogs, toys in the yard, etc.) Once you trigger the backup it will stay on until you turn off the mower deck (in which case you will need to hit the backup switch again). |
