Amore currently lives with several other dogs and does fine with them but would be perfectly content as an only dog where she could be the main object of her humans' affection! She has a playful side but also enjoys being a couch potato for hours on end. She has been successfully treated for heartworms and has a clean bill of health. Amore will make a wonderful addition to a home where she can relax and be treated like the queen that she is! As part of our Silver Hearts Program there will be no adoption fee for this dog. We are looking to place older dogs in loving homes so they can enjoy the remaining years of their lives. We prefer to put older dogs directly into foster homes as this will make them more comfortable and avoid kennels. Older dogs can truly be a blessing so please take the time to consider being part of the Silver heart program. You can read more about Amore and all of our other silver heart dogs on their special page.
Not ready to adopt me? How would you like to be my sponsor?! ABR's medical bills are at an all-time high and even a $5 donation can help take some of my cousins off the street, treat their wounds, and heal their hearts. Please think about a tax-deductible donation today! |

Most Americans Eager To Buy Seafood That's 'Sustainable'
Originally published on Tue February 12, 2013 1:31 pm
This week, our colleagues Daniel Zwerdling and Margot Williams with NPR's investigations unit have a terrific three-part series on the Marine Stewardship Council. As they report, the MSC's labels tell consumers which seafood is supposed to be good or bad for the environment. But some environmentalists say the label is misleading, and that the growing demand for sustainable-labeled seafood from retailers like Target and Whole Foods is pressuring the program to certify fisheries that don't deserve it.
As far as we could tell, no one had ever really asked regular consumers how they feel about seafood that's sustainably caught. So we teamed up with Zwerdling, Williams and Truven Health Analytics to find out. We asked 3,000 adults across the country about what the labels mean to them as part of an NPR-Truven Health Analytics Health Poll.
First, we learned that people's seafood consumption habits vary quite a bit. Roughly one in four respondents (24 percent) said they rarely or never eat seafood. But another 30 percent said they eat seafood at least four times a month.
The results from the poll showed that 80 percent of Americans who regularly eat fish say it is "important" or "very important" that the seafood they buy is caught using sustainable methods. ("Sustainable" was defined as still being plentiful for future generations, and caught using methods that did minimal harm to other animals in the sea.)
About 67 percent of respondents said they're "somewhat confident" in labels that call seafood "sustainable," while 20 percent don't believe them at all, and 14 percent said they're "very confident" in what labels suggest about how the seafood was caught.
Many are under the impression that wild-caught fish is better for them: Fifty-two percent of those surveyed told us they believe that wild-caught fish or seafood has more health benefits than other types of fish.
The poll also found that people not only support the idea of sustainable seafood — they are also willing to pay more for it. About a quarter of respondents said they would pay up to 10 percent more, while 22 percent said they would fork over between 10 and 20 percent extra for products they believed were sustainably caught.
The nationwide telephone poll of 3,004 adults was conducted during the first half of August 2012. Click here to read the questions and complete results. For more polls from Truven Health Analytics — formerly the health care business of Thomson Reuters — and NPR, see our archive.

ABSTRACT: Chronic rejection is the primary cause of long-term failure of transplanted organs and is often viewed as an antibody-dependent process. Chronic rejection, however, is also observed in mice and humans with no detectable circulating alloantibodies, suggesting that antibody-independent pathways may also contribute to pathogenesis of transplant rejection. Here, we have provided direct evidence that chronic rejection of vascularized heart allografts occurs in the complete absence of antibodies, but requires the presence of B cells. Mice that were deficient for antibodies but not B cells experienced the same chronic allograft vasculopathy (CAV), which is a pathognomonic feature of chronic rejection, as WT mice; however, mice that were deficient for both B cells and antibodies were protected from CAV. B cells contributed to CAV by supporting splenic lymphoid architecture, T cell cytokine production, and infiltration of T cells into graft vessels. In chimeric mice, in which B cells were present but could not present antigen, both T cell responses and CAV were markedly reduced. These findings establish that chronic rejection can occur in the complete absence of antibodies and that B cells contribute to this process by supporting T cell responses through antigen presentation and maintenance of lymphoid architecture.The Journal of clinical investigation 02/2014; · 15.39 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Mycoplasmas cause numerous human diseases and are common opportunistic pathogens in cancer patients and immunocompromised individuals. Mycoplasma infection elicits various host immune responses. Here we demonstrate that mycoplasma-infected tumor cells release exosomes (myco+ exosomes) that specifically activate splenic B cells and induce splenocytes cytokine production. Induction of cytokines, including the proinflammatory IFN-γ and the anti-inflammatory IL-10, was largely dependent on the presence of B cells. B cells were the major IL-10 producers. In splenocytes from B cell deficient μMT mice, induction of IFN-γ+ T cells by myco+ exosomes was greatly increased compared with wild type splenocytes. In addition, anti-CD3-stimulated T cell proliferation was greatly inhibited in the presence of myco+ exosome-treated B cells. Also, anti-CD3-stimulated T cell signaling was impaired by myco+ exosome treatment. Proteomic analysis identified mycoplasma proteins in exosomes that potentially contribute to the effects. Our results demonstrate that mycoplasma-infected tumor cells release exosomes carrying mycoplasma components that preferentially activate B cells, which in turn, are able to inhibit T cell activity. These results suggest that mycoplasmas infecting tumor cells can exploit the exosome pathway to disseminate their own components and modulate the activity of immune cells, in particular, activate B cells with inhibitory activity.PLoS ONE 04/2012; 7(4):e36138. · 3.53 Impact Factor -
Article: Role of secondary lymphoid tissues in primary and memory T-cell responses to a transplanted organ.
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Secondary lymphoid tissues are the hub of adaptive immune responses wherein rare cognate lymphocytes encounter dendritic cells bearing antigen from peripheral tissues and differentiate into effector and memory cells that eliminate antigen. It is accepted that immune responses against microbial and tumor antigens are initiated within secondary lymphoid tissues. There is less agreement on whether the same principle applies to immune responses to a transplanted organ because an allograft expresses foreign major histocompatibility complex and contains donor antigen presenting cells that could activate T cells directly in situ leading to rejection. Recent studies confirm that although naïve T cells can be primed within the allograft, their differentiation to effect rejection is dependent on secondary lymphoid tissues. Antigen-experienced memory T cells, unlike Naïve T cells, function largely independent of secondary lymphoid tissues to cause allograft rejection. In an alloimmune response, secondary lymphoid tissues support not only immune activation but also immune regulation essential for allograft survival. Here, we will review recent findings and discuss the role of secondary lymphoid tissues in primary and memory alloimmune responses.Transplantation reviews (Orlando, Fla.) 10/2009; 24(1):32-41. - Clinical Immunology 01/2009; 131. · 3.99 Impact Factor

The sweet taste of chocolate often hides the bitter reality of exploited child labor. Anarchist Mott Green's factory is different...
About this project
Deep in the rain forests of Grenada, anarchist chocolate-maker, Mott Green operates an unusual chocolate factory that turns out delicious creations unknown to a world saturated with industrially produced cocoa, much of it produced by exploited child labour. With a rich blend of ingredients missing in the large-scale production of corporate chocolate, Mott utilizes solar power, employee shareholding and small-scale antique equipment to make delicious, organic, and socially conscious chocolate. Each step in the production process, from cocoa pod to candy bar, involves ethical and sustainable methods aimed at empowering the community of farmers involved. An anarchist chocolatier, with his tiny chocolate company challenging the global model of large-scale chocolate production, and undermining the exploitation of child labour -- how could I not make a film about all of this?
Nothing like Chocolate tells the moving story of the relentless and headstrong Mott Green, founder of the Grenada Chocolate Company, as he pursues his unique vision to create the best chocolate in the world, ethically and taste-wise, from scratch. See how the world's smallest chocolate factory, by tackling the unsustainable and exploitative practices of the Goliaths of the industry, is doing enormous things for cocoa communities, and the world's sweet tooth.
I really want the world to know about chocolate's exploited child labour, and that it is possible to do things differently.
Please help me create the final edit so that I can spread the word!
Where does the money go to?
Every penny (less Kickstarter fees) will go directly to pay two very talented editors to create the final edit of Nothing Like Chocolate. You can see clips from the film on our Facebook page: Nothing Like Chocolate
This project couldn't happen without contributions from you. To show this appreciation we have lined up some great gifts that we would like to give in return.
What happens if the money is not raised in time?
In that case, no money will change hands and the final edit for the film won't happen. Please help avoid this happening! We have 33 days, from 9th March, to raise the $10,000.
Can we exceed the goal?
YES! That would be fantastic! Kickstarter will allow as much money as is given before the deadline. If that happens, the score composition, final color correction and sound sweetening will happen sooner rather than later. This scenario is an excellent one!
Where can I learn more about the project?
Please visit the official website, http://www.nothinglikechocolate.com There you will find more information.
Is my pledge amount publicly displayed?
No. Only you and the project creator will be able to see your pledge amount.
If I donate, when can I redeem the incentive?
All incentives, big and small, will only happen if our goal is met. If we do meet our goal, immediately after our deadline we will start to manufacture and ship all physical merchandise directly to you. The screenings, parties and dvds etc. can only happen after the film is completed so this will take a bit of time. Bear with us!
What if I don't want the incentive, I just want to support?
No problem, there is a button that you can select if you don't want the reward.
Can I increase my pledge once it's been made?
YES! Once you donate to our campaign, you may want to change your incentive reward to a different one, or increase your pledge amount. To do so, go to Kickstarter and sign in. If you go to our campaign page, the green "Back This Project" button has been replaced with a blue "Manage Your Donation" button. Click it and you can enter a new amount, or choose a new incentive.
Can I Gift An Incentive?
YES! What a lovely thought. If you would like to donate to the film but give the reward to someone as a gift, go through all the normal process of making a donation in your name. For billing purposes, this action must be in your name. After our deadline, we will send a message to you on Kickstarter. (It will be forwarded to the email address you provided) We will request your address from you at that time. Please reply with all the person's information that is to receive the reward. We will make sure they are the person who receives the reward.
I am not in the US. Can I still pledge to this project?
Yes, you can pledge to the project from anywhere in the world.
How do I make a tax-deductible contribution?
Please contact me (firstname.lastname@example.com) and I will explain a very simple way to do that.
Have a question? If the info above doesn't help, you can ask the project creator directly.

Nyack News
Classes Resume at Nyack and NYC Campuses
Both Nyack Rockland and Nyack NYC campuses resumed classes today after a week long shutdown caused by Hurricane Sandy's assault on the Tri-State New York area.
Recounting the storm's devastation, President Michael G. Scales recalled the scene at the residential campus in Nyack, NY: "Massive power outages required the use of generators as a backup source of power without certainty of when power will be fully restored. Building damage is still being assessed. Wood from dozens of downed trees sits in piles on the Hillside, while some still lean on buildings or are scattered across campus."
But today at a chapel service (pictured above), students gathered in Bowman Gym to praise God in spite of the campus blight that also visited the Manhattan campus where loss of subway and bus transportation hampered travel in the City and power outages froze activity last week.
Today the campus rejoiced for being able to regain some level of normal functionality.
Prayers continue for those still impacted by the loss of power and heat and for those braving the long lines at gas stations hoping to get fuel for their cars or generators.
For details on the storm's impact, see the homepage feature at www.nyack.edu.

For those of you that have been asking questions about whether big servos fit, here are my ancient JR507 std big ole gasser servos for sizing!
My rule of thumb is . . if these fit, anything will in the modern servo world. These are just for reference, I bought a set of ultra high torque and high speed servos and loaded some karbonite gears in them for good measure. I picked up the servo mod from a buddy of mine. I have no idea where he got the gears but the original servos are the Hecktronics high torque (144 in/oz tq) servos available from Hobby City, Deal Extreme and the like.

battery fit
Hey folks
This is a 3000 mah 4S battery and it is a little big for the Mah size I used this to get a ballpark of the height and placement of the battery and to see if I could, in fact, fit a 4s pack inside the airfoil. It works! I had a much different pack in mind to actually use but this helps me a lot in determining exactly how big I can go. Here are some pics for you to see for reference. |
May 21, 2010, 08:09 PM | |
Here is the links to Peter Wick threads on the PW series airfoils. If you do a find search on each page for "hinge" you will see heaps of talk about the why's of the bottom hinge. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=387891 Some of it gets pretty technical, but good info. As to how, lots of different ways. The main point being that there is a nice consistant surface along the bottom of the foil without any bumps to cause the airflow to seperate from the surface. You can still run your servo on the top onto a servo horn mounted on the top side of the Elevons. I did that with my last small PW51 and it worked fine. If you have trouble fitting your battery across your wing, you may want to consider a pod on the front and running it length ways. Not as clean a look, but it does allow you to keep the weight forward for your CG at minimum weight. Also leaves additional room for other components, including ballast tube on the CG if you wanted. I do pods on my main scratch built park wings (30 degree sweep) to keep the weight down and the CG forward. The other bonus is you can pad it up for impact, the protruding nose helps protect the central leading edge from inpacts. You probably want to keep the first build as the clean shape, but something to consider for later. Rick |

been working on the 60 for a few tonight here are some pics Rick, thanks for the heads up on the pw51 threads, that was a lot of info to digest before I even got down to the building area to settle down to some "figurin" I have gotten as far as assessing where we are with placement of eqp and spars and the core bed 1/2 wings are all joined to assist me in the build! The more I do the more I realize that, although this has a lot of room, it really is light and thin . . . I muddled around the idea of just sticking he Dons 2700 in there with a heavy 3s to make it light and fast . . . . .but I am not familiar with the pw51 to really be able to make the call as to whether that is in the best interest of the airfoil. I would really appreciate any input from Jeff or others as to what the optimum config on the airfoil would be before we finalize the load! Still working the old grey matter though. |

cg roughly
The CG I get moving what I am planning to install around comes out to about 7" aft of the nose.
I really need a basic Cg from Jeff before I begin the final layout but this is about where we are with that. The Spar plan is the big 10mm spar will go into the center, hopefully it will go behind the cut out for the prop. The 2 6mm spars will go into the LE from the bottom and be flush with the bottom of the airfoil. All spars are thick walled pultruded spars, they are about 25% heavier than the stuff I was using before so . . . .they sould be able to take a likkin and keep on tickin! |

big ole motor
Well, I knuckled down and laid the big ole Pulso in there as the rough out to get an idea of just how big it was in relation to the top and bottom of the airfoil . . .and it is huge but could be - could be managable.
This thing has a ton of power . . .I mean big ole burley burley gobs of power.. this is a very light airplane, even if I build it super heavy it still isnt going to top 3.5 - 4 lbs. Im thinking that even if I try, this thing is going to come out in the 2.5 lb range with what I have. I am still open to motor options . . and am still very seriously considerning whether this is really the way I want to go. |

core beds in the drying rack
core beds in the drying rack
No, it is not a torture device for my cores! It is the core beds drying. I bond the core beds together very accurately so that I can do the same for my wing cores when it is time. It also eliminates a bunch of materials to keep my desk more in order! I used gorilla glue on the left side and hot glue on the right....joined the quarters together to make 2 wing halves. I have not used hot glue in a while and the hot glue is really the ticket for this as the gorilla glue is going to take all night and use up my weights for liftin in the morning (yeah . . . like you guys believe that one!) |

Terex Announces Fourth Quarter And Full Year 2012 Results And Provides 2013 Outlook
Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) was 8.0% for the period ended December 31, 2012, reflecting the improved income from operations as well as our cash generation.
The ratio of Debt, less cash and cash equivalents to EBITDA, as adjusted , improved from 4.9 at December 31, 2011 to 2.3 at December 31, 2012, primarily due to the increased earnings of the Company in 2012 versus 2011, as well as the focus on cash generation.
Working Capital: Working Capital as a percent of Trailing Three Month Annualized Net Sales was 27.2% at December 31, 2012, as compared to 26.6% at September 30, 2012. The increase was largely due to seasonal decline and softening demand in some segments and geographies. The Company now has a significant cash balance related to customer advances for orders to fund inventory purchases required for products with long lead times. As a result, the definition of Working Capital has been modified to include the advance payments. The Company is targeting its Working Capital as a percentage of Trailing Three Month Annualized Net Sales to be approximately 22% at the end of 2013.
Backlog: Backlog for orders deliverable during the next twelve months was approximately $2,009 million at December 31, 2012, an increase of approximately 17% from September 30, 2012 and a decrease of approximately 7% from December 31, 2011.
The Company continued to see healthy levels of backlog at year end. Contributing to the sequential increase were the orders for AWP products driven largely by the recurring fleet orders the Company referenced during its third quarter results. For the quarter, AWP had its highest bookings level in more than four years with some machines now booked for delivery in the second half of 2013. This contributed to a 73% increase in AWP backlog from September 30, 2012. Overall, AWP customers continue to replace historically old fleets in order to have sufficient product available to meet the current utilization and are displaying confidence in expected end user demand.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Principaux points forts
Excellent zoom téléobjectif pour les prises de vue de sport et de nature.
Ouverture rapide f/2.8 maintenue sur toute la plage de zoom.
3 éléments en verre à dispersion extrafaible (ED) pour une haute résolution et un niveau de contraste élevé même à des ouvertures maximales.
Nikon's Legendary f2.8 Tele-Zoom
I have used this lens on assignments around the world. It's been dropped, splashed with salt water, left in hot vehicles for hours on end, caked in sand, and no matter what I do with it, it continues to make extraordinary pictures every time out. It focuses nearly as fast as the 70-200 AFS, yet it is noticeably smaller and lighter, and best of all it costs one-third less! Yet its optical performance is absolutely unreal. Sharpness, contrast and colour fidelity are spectacular. Distortion is minimal, ghosts and flare are unheard-of. It's built like a tank.
Several people have asked me why I don't upgrade to the 70-200 AFS with VR, but in all honesty I just don't see what I would gain. This lens does everything I ask of it and more. Wonderful lens that every photographer should have in their bag.
6 août 2010
Great alternative to 70-200
This lens has been fantastic for shooting horse shows, and for everything else as well. It's a little long for close up work but if you've got room to back up does fine for portraits. Always sharp, and very fast, it is a fine sub for the twice as expensive 70-200. It's heavy though, be sure and get a more elastic foam type strap for long outings to avoid neck chaff. Good for indoors especially w today's awesome high ISO sensors. Most indoor arenas can be shot at ISO 3200 or less at 2.8 without flash.
30 juillet 2010
Great bokeh, fantastic lens
This lens is a go to lens in my bag, as a great landscape tool as well as street photography and even portraits and head shots. Very fast focus, one of my favorite Nikon products.

Nikon Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8D ED AF
This will probably be one of the most desired zoom lenses Nikon ever.
Still continue to have a good demand and its share price, despite the innumerable quantity sold in each of its versions, is a reflection of the robustness and quality with which they were built.
Produced from 1987 to 2008, was sold in four models:
*1 (1987-1992) 80-200mm Nikkor f / 2.8 ED AF - model push / pull with 3 ED elements.
*2 (1992-1997) 80-200mm Nikkor f / 2.8 ED AF-D - going to be an objective of the series D (now has the distance information to the object focused for better light metering, now possible in 3D Matrix). Is also a push / pull with 3 ED elements in your building model.
*3 (1997-2006) 80-200mm Nikkor f / 2.8 ED AF-D - also D series, this third model (review here) has won a string of tripod and went on to have two rings - one for adjusting focus and the other for focal length. As with previous models has three ED elements.
*4 (2007-2008) 80-200mm Nikkor f / 2.8 ED-IF AF-S - D series, this latest model now has a system of internal focus IF. Its optical construction features 5 ED elements.
They all have in common the excellent optics and build quality.
The optical quality of this lens is excellent! Produces images with vivid colors, good contrast and very sharp. Certainly the three ED elements present in its construction contribute to such good results.
The blur is excellent, very smooth! Produces beautiful results in all situations is not necessary to use it only in larger apertures.
The level of construction, just pick up one of these lenses to feel its weight and robustness denouncing their quality. Very well built, made primarily of metal.
But it is important to pay attention to some details: this is not a sealed and resistant to dust and moisture objective! It takes some care to use it wherever you go. This objective suffers easily with condensation. Careful when exiting a hot environment and go to a cold environment with this objective!
It is also good to be careful with the focus ring, it seems that plastic is used internally to keep you stuck. This plastic can break the misuse. I've worn a used model that was being sold and the focus ring suffered this damage.
Only handle this objective is already a pleasure! While "big" and heavy is a comfortable lens to use. The two rings are well placed - the zoom ring is not "glued" to the camera body - which allows you to switch between them expeditiously.
DX used in this objective becomes a 120-300mm f / 2.8! A good range of distances and certainly more than enough for a multitude of situations.

The best mid range zoom lens from Nikon
I've been with Nikon gear since 1993 and my "mayor" fist buy was the older version of this lens (the push-pull barrel with no tripod mount). I start with this comment because this version corrects almost all the disadvantages of its predecessor. The "slow" barrel motion to get the correct focal distance and the BIG issue that you need to buy a "cradle" to hold the lens to a camera in order to put both together mounted in a tripod.
In terms of price you'll find it in about $1,200 and it worth every dollar invested. The "new" version moves smooth and fast depending on which camera you put on. The new versions like the D600 are quite faster than the older ones but the fact that still uses the motor in the body makes it a little slower vs. the 70-200mm version.
The optics are exceptional and with poor light conditions or indoors you can get razor blade sharp photos at f/2.8. This lens is also great for portrait because you can move form 85mm to 135mm with a little twist of hand. Allowing you to be more still or to keep a good distance vs. your subject. The other advantage is its shallow depth of field that allows you to have really blurred backgrounds.
Since I can remember all the Nikon (ED rated) are simple the best in class. The colors are true and the definition and sharpness always at the top. They worth the extra bucks!
Another advantage is the filter size (77mm) if you are considering to move to top of the line gear you can invest in Nikon Filters such as the New soft focus or the circular polarizer and use between them. There are now plenty of other top lens with such filter size. This is important when you buy a Polarizer of +$125 USD.
I tested the 80-200mm VR and the outcomes in terms of quality are almost the same, the difference is if you take photos without tripod at focal lengths higher than 105mm. As a thumb rule you need a speed that doubles the focal length in order to avoid camera movement. In this case to obtain a 1/250 sec. in low light or indoors is not that easy. Nevertheless now we can "compensate" using a higher ISO number. In the old days the use of an ISO 400 film was considered fast. Now with the newer Nikon DSLR you can set the ISO at 800 or 1600 and still get outstanding results.
Some consider this lens "old fashion" because don't come with the VR features but this depends on you. I still like to "think" when you are taking portraits and compensate the camera movement and lighting conditions, making photography both, challenging and rewarding.

Frank Z. Jasco Thermic 100
Whilst Looking for a short kit that would fit the Cleveland Air Line Senior Playboy plans I ordered about a week ago, it came to my attention that Mr Bob Holman has several short kits for some of my (our?) very favorite Jetco/Jasco Thermic series Kits. .....
He has the Thermic 50 that I learned to fly tow-line with back in the ill-spent days of my youth, & when I am feeling rich, as in $100 rich, I'll go for his Thermic 100 (plans,$25, Parts,$75). If anyone out there wants to surf his site, its; www.bhplans.com Merry Christmas, Laramie. |

Here are all of the Jasco plans in my collection including the Thermic 100 and they are free.

What Planeman said .....
I too enjoy the building prosses, & far prefer to cut my own strip-wood, as this way your spars & longerons balance far better. That being said, given the quality of these new-fangled lazer cutters & computers, it's hard to equal the quality of "store bought" ribs or formers.
That's why I might buy a short-kit from Mr. Bob Holman for my Cleveland Playboy Senior, & I will buy a reproduction Jasco Thermic or two soon. I grew up on print-wood & die-crushed kits, always prefering the print-wood & scratch. Merry Christmas, Laramie. |

Update ...
... I started this thread last Christmas, more or less, fast forward to now.
I got the Cleveland plans, & shortly after, started the build (Playboy Sr.). The build is going well, & there's a build log on this forum on it. As for the The Frank Z. Thermic build, it's still on my "to do list", & after framing up the Playboy Sr. I'm thinking more like a nice smaller Thermic, like the Thermic 50. I built one of those back in the mid 60's that flew so well I finally lost it O.O.S.. With today's mini R/C equipment, It would be a lot of fun. Laramie. |

Thermic 100 post-war
I built a full-fuselage Thermic 100 in 2006 from a short kit that's no longer available. The fuselage and wing plans didn't match, so presumably they came from different sources. The wing plan is identical to the pod & boom Thermic 100 (see Planeman's 2nd plan above) and the fuselage is identical (except wood sizes) to the full-fuselage Thermic 70, which is Planeman's 5th plan above which is my scan from the 1946 Air Trails Annual. The fuselage plan in my kit wasn't properly scaled, gave an overall length of just 45" vs the correct 49.5" and gave me grief. I suggest you use the Thermic 100 P&B wing plan and properly scaled-up Thermic 70 full fuselage. The fuselage will need mods to add motor & RC gear, if desired. I used a HiMax 2812-850 motor, 3S2000 LiPo, 9x6 folding prop, and HS-81 servos for Rud, Elev, & Spoilers for an AUW of 30.5oz. I used 1/4"sq main longerons and uprights, 3/16"sq top & bottom keels, 1/8x1/4 stringers and built a battery hatch in the fuse top from the spinner to wing. I'll attach the 70" plan scaled up to 100" (gives length of 49.5") and a couple photos of my Thermic 100. -Dave (djp) |

Dave -
Thanks for the info on the fuselage. I did finally find 2 sources for the 1946 fuselage. I will see how they compare to the scaled-up Thermic 70 fuselage. I thought they looked similar. I will most likely build a pod-and-boom for the 100 or 72, but really like the full fuselage better-maybe due to building Thermic 50's way back in the 60's (doesn't seem that long ago). Scott |

A question on decalage (wing and stab incidence angles) while I am waiting for the Thermic 100 full-fuselage plans: compared to modern RC gliders, the wing and tail incidence angles, as well as the lifting stab, are way different Did you use the incidences as shown on the original plans? Did you balance according to the original plans? I ask because a friend built a Thermic 72, stock, for RC and could hardly fly it at first--needed full down stick. He shimmed the TE up 3/16" and said it flew fine. Of course I haven't found out yet where he balanced the thing. Scott PS: Yes, I will post the full-fuselage plan here when I get it. |

Mathewson throws three Series shutouts in six days
Oct. 14, 1905
During the season, Christy Mathewson had his third consecutive 30-win year, compiling a 31-8 record with a 1.27 ERA and eight shutouts. The New York Giants ace continued his impressive pitching in the second World Series, pitching a pair of four-hit shutouts against the Philadelphia Athletics. Does he have one more shutout in him going into today?
Yes. In recording his third shutout in six days, Mathewson holds the Athletics to six hits in a 2-0 Game 5 victory, much to the delight of the fans, who mob the field at the Polo Grounds after the Giants win the Series. In his three victories, the 27-year-old right-hander strikes out 18, walks one and does not permit a runner to reach third.
Mathewson -- and each of his teammates -- receives $1,141.41 for winning the Series.

Basement Foundation
I have block walls in my basement. A local basement company some years ago before I lived here put weep holes in the bottom of one wall that the sub pump sat on and also they ran a channel along that wall so water would flow into sub pump. But after time that channel filled with dirt and water would not flow well and channel filled with mold. So I took down the channel and let the water from weep holes flow freely into the sub pump and into basement drain. Ive called back the same local basement company to do something with this and they said they could dig bust up basement floor along the wall and put in drain tile and it would fix the problem. Would it fix the problem?? Looking for help and suggestions.
evidently they used a metal form of ' channel ' - you could cut a slot in the floor leading to the sump but, for best appearance, putting the std 4" ads corrugated hdpe pipe under the floor is the best appearing,,, possibly budget influenced the 1st decision.
it won't ' fix ' the problem of infiltrating water ( nothing does that but exterior wall waterproofing systems ) but it will resolve the water pooling on the floor & cover up the drain holes which were drilled into the various cells. IF you have more than 1 company in town, it would be prudent to talk to more than just the original guy - good luck ! |

Some Bit Of Good News: Philadelphia 'Dodged A Bullet'
The center of Superstorm Sandy passed less than 25 miles from Philadelphia. In most cases that would mean that the city of brotherly love would have been whipped with the strongest of winds from the weather system.
But Philly, the country's fifth-largest city, emerged today fairly unscathed.
"From what I see of the damage going on in New York and New Jersey — the storm surge, the record wave heights, the tide heights — yeah we dodged a bullet, in that respect," Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett said, according to NPR member station WHYY. "But anybody who's without electricity probably is not saying that we dodged a bullet."
Indeed, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports that 1.2 million people were without power in Pennsylvania.
But WHYY reports that things slowly getting back to normal. Philadelphia schools, for example, will reopen Wednesday. And SEPTA, the city's subway system, started rolling at about noon.

Providers of web site hosting and other Internet-related services offer customers the means to acquire and disseminate a plethora of public, private, commercial, and non-commercial information. While the Internet provides a forum for free and open discussion and dissemination of information, there are competing interests at issue, in terms of a web hosting company's Terms of Service (''TOS'') and the various laws that govern such services.
With Internet-based intellectual property lawsuits on the rise, the question has become: how will Internet law keep up with the freedom of speech issues – and, to what degree will these laws affect the web hosting industry as a whole? The ramifications of some recent Internet litigation, and its impact on the web hosting industry are presented and examined below.
Patent Litigation
Recently, a Canadian firm has claimed infringement upon a patent it owns, with regard to Resource Description Framework (RDF), a software based upon Extensible Markup Language (XML). Using this technology, programmers can write software to access web resources, such as web page content, music files and digital photos. Vancouver-based UFIL Unified Data Technologies, holds U.S. patent 5,684,985, a '''method and apparatus utilizing bond identifiers executed upon accessing of an endo-dynamic information node,'' awarded in November 1997. According to the Patent Enforcement and Royalties Ltd. (PEARL)'s web site, as many as 45 companies may be infringing upon the patents. It is believed that the patent may also infringe on the RDF Site Summary standard (web content that's written in something other than HTML). For example, RSS (originally developed by Netscape Communications, now owned by AOL Time Warner), allows web sites to exchange information and content.
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), which evaluates and recommends standards for web technologies, has endorsed the RDF standard. PEARL has been engaged to work with UFIL, to enforce the claims, since 1999. According to information released by the W3C, Daniel Weitzner, Technology and Society Domain Leader, indicated that the Consortium had not been approached directly regarding the patent issue. Mr. Weitzner stated, ''We consider it to be quite important that fundamental technology specifications such as RDF should be able to be implemented on a royalty-free basis. If anything comes to our attention that suggests that's not possible, we'll pay attention to legitimate property rights out there, but at the same time, RDF was developed in the open by a very broad range of the web community.''
Freedom of Speech Issues
An amicus brief was recently filed by Yahoo!, Inc., in its lawsuit against LaLigue contre le Racisme et l' Antisemitisme, Case No. 01-17424 (9th Cir.). Later this year, a federal appellate court will decide whether or not French anti-discrimination law can restrict freedom of speech on U.S.-based web sites that are accessible in France.
In 2000, a Paris court ruled that the Yahoo! web site violated French law, due to the fact that its users offered certain Nazi artifacts for sale. In order to force compliance with the order, French plaintiffs must seek enforcement from a U.S. court. In response, Yahoo! sought a declaratory ruling and a federal district court held that enforcing the French order would violate the First Amendment. The matter is now on appeal. The Yahoo! case presents the question of whether the Internet should be governed by myriad local censorship laws from around the world. U.S. courts have held uniformly that the Internet should receive the highest degree of First Amendment protection.
Web.com's Patent and Intellectual Property with Web Hosting Company, Hostopia
In July, 2006, Atlanta-based web hosting, managed email, ecommerce, and online business applications giant, Web.com, entered into a non-exclusive license agreement with web hosting firm, Hostopia.com Inc., granting Hostopia the rights to two of Web.com's patents over five years, on a non-transferable basis. Web.com's portfolio of 19 registered, and numerous pending, U.S. patents relates to several core technologies that are vital to the web hosting industry.
The licensed patents broadly cover methods for website building and web hosting control panels. According to the agreement, Hostopia will pay Web.com a royalty equal to 10% of their gross U.S. retail revenues for five years. In addition, the companies have entered a cross-license agreement in which Web.com was granted rights to thousands of HTML and FLASH website templates and a license to additional intellectual property in the future at no additional cost. The companies have also agreed to a mutual covenant not to sue for patent infringement.
Spokespersons for Web.com had this to say, concerning the licensing agreement with Hostopia:
''Web.com has a portfolio of 19 registered patents with several additional pending patents. Web.com's patents touch on a number of key technologies that are vital to the web hosting and Software-as-a-Services industries. Web.com's first patent license transaction was a milestone for the Company as it validated Web.com's belief in the value of its patents. Hostopia paid Web.com an amount that was roughly equal to 10% of Hostopia's U.S. retail revenues over five years. Web.com intends to use its patent rights as a means of extending its brand and its technology so as to create value for its shareholders and to protect its innovations.''
With regard to the legalities of Internet content, Web.com's representative stated: ''Copyright Website owners and other authors (like bloggers, for example) own the content they create under general principles of copyright law. Copyright law grants the author of any "work" the exclusive right to copy and reproduce that work. Copyright law extends not only to the written word, but also to music, dramatic works (like plays and moves), art, sculpture any other forms of creative expression that are fixed in a tangible medium of expression. Conflicts easily arise on the web because web technology makes it so easy for web users to copy and download content, including music, video, pictures and text. While the author of an article may not object to a web user who links to a copy written article, the author will object if someone copies his article and re-publishes it as if it were a new article. Generally, web hosts are not responsible if one of their clients violates a copyright holder's rights by illegally copying content onto the client's website. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act creates a "safe harbor" from liability for web hosts that follow a specific process in responding to notices from copyright holders alleging copyright infringement from content on a client's website. Among other requirements, the web host must suspend a client's website after the host receives a formal notice that meets the statutory requirement. The host may resurrect the client's site, however, if the client responds with a sworn statement denying any infringement so long as the client's denial also satisfies the statute. So long as the host follows the specific requirements of the statute, the host is not liable even if a court ultimately determines that its client was violating another party's copyright.''
As to content – trademark conflicts, Web.com's spokesperson went on to reiterate: ''Involvement trademark disputes are more difficult for hosts to manage, however. Unlike copyright law — which protects the author of an original work — trademark law protects the brand name of a seller of goods or services. A potential copyright infringement is often easy to see if the infringing site blatantly copies words or images that are protected by copyright. Trademark infringement is trickier to spot, however, as a trademark right in most cases will only extend to the ;scope of use" covered by the holder's goods or services. For example if Company A sells "BrandName" widgets, it may have trademark rights to "BrandName". But, Company A's rights, in most cases, will not prevent Company B from using BrandName to sell goods or services that are different from those sold by Company A. The challenge for web hosts arises when a client website advertises BrandName goods or services but a third party claims trademark rights to "BrandName". How can the host know if the third party's rights are superior? How can the host tell if the client's products are within the third party's "scope of use."
To avoid liability for participating in a client's possible trademark infringement, savvy web hosts will develop processes to follow to respond to allegations of trademark infringement and to ensure that clients resolve those claims. Among other things, a savvy web host will make sure that its client agreement obligates the client to resolve those claims and indemnify the web host for any liability it might have for the client's failure to do so.''
Web.com's representative concluded, commenting on the issue of publication liability, stating that ''Another type of potential content problem for web hosts involves liability for defamation. Defamation is a cause of action (or potential lawsuit) that arises when a party publishes a false statement, knowing that it is false, and that publication injures another person. For example, if a client posted on its website the statement: ''Company X's products cause cancer; and if the client knew that statement were false, the client could be liable for defamation to Company X. If the client honestly believed the statement to be true, however, the client would generally not be liable. Defamation liability would make the web hosting industry impossible if it weren't for the Communications Decency Act passed by Congress in the late 1990s. Under the Communications Decency Act (or ''CDA''), web hosts and other Internet service providers are not liable for the publications (or statements) of their clients so long as they are not contributors to those statements.''
IBM v. Amazon.com
Amazon.com is involved in patent litigation with IBM, in two separate lawsuits. Five patents are alleged to have been violated, as far back as the 1980s, all regarding cataloging and data referencing, including alteration of online content. It has been reported in press releases issued by IBM, that ongoing negotiations since 2002 have failed, that hundreds of other companies have licensed the same patents, and that IBM has attempted to negotiate licensing deals with Amazon. Since Amazon.com is largely based upon web technologies and the ability to quickly process transactions over the Internet, it would seem that if it were a mere matter of licensing, they wouldn't have any problem. It may be that they feel IBM's patents are too broad, and cover technologies they developed themselves in-house.
Net Neutrality
One of the most important freedom of speech aspect of the Internet, is that no one party owns or controls it. However, as telephone and digital companies continue to grow through mergers and acquisitions, Internet and related laws, and the concepts and issues that govern it, have come to the forefront, as a new and legitimate concern for all netizens.
Issues such as network (''net'') neutrality, have become contested areas of law in the United States. Internet giants, such as Google, eBay, and Amazon, fear that network owners will create a biased, two-tier Internet system, unfairly placing telco services first, in addition to the concern that network owners may seek to entirely censor or block content at their own discretion, creating partiality. The terms of the debate place neutralists (such as the Internet's largest content providers), against free-marketeers (including Telcos) who argue against such regulation, deeming it to be counter-productive and even unconstitutional.
The fact remains, that exercising the rights associated with free speech and the Internet, places a high premium on the judgment and responsibility of those who use the it, both in the information they acquire and in the information they disseminate. In order for web hosting companies to survive, it is essential that consumers realize and understand, that when they obtain information through the Internet, web hosting companies cannot monitor, verify, warrant, or vouch for the accuracy and quality of the information that is available.
Therefore, some material posted to the Internet may be subject to patent and/or copyright infringement, deemed inappropriate for certain ages, or otherwise offensive. Because web hosting companies are not in a position to monitor or censor the Internet, they cannot accept any responsibility for the consequences that may result from potentially infringing, inaccurate, offensive, inappropriate, or otherwise illegal Internet communications.
While each user is expected to exercise common sense and good judgment in connection with the services it utilizes on the Internet, web hosting companies do have terms of service rules in place, to govern such things as spamming, and maintaining open SMTP relays. It is ultimately up to the users to exercise the best judgment possible, in relying on information obtained from the Internet. When users and/or consumers disseminate information through the Internet, they also must keep in mind that web hosting companies do not review, edit, censor, or take responsibility for any information its users, clients or subscribers may create. The very same liability as other authors for copyright infringement, defamation, and other harmful speech, apply to users on the Internet.
The outcome of recent Internet patent litigation will most certainly begin to set precedents. In many of the cases, the judge and/or jury is asked to make determinations as to deep issues of technological equivalence as to fast-advancing technology at a particular point in time, which can greatly affect how we continue to do business on the Internet, and the future laws that may result of such litigation.
Many patents, have implications far beyond the alleged infringement specified. A patent found valid by a jury acquires more than the normal status of ''presumption of validity,'' in that it may be used against other parties. All future parties, whether or not they are a party to the lawsuit, are affected. Therefore, patent validity lawsuits have the power to impact much more than just the two parties involved, unlike other business litigation.
Given the fact that Internet law, as a whole, is still largely in unchartered territory, the question of what positive role government can play in a regulatory regime, remains to be seen. Coupled with the fear that new technology laws may allow governments or big business to oppress society, giving them the wherewithal to block freedom of speech rights, such as viewing published materials and other forms of censorship, the spectrum of views on Internet regulation can appear to be endless. The only thing we know for certain, is that the Internet is here to stay. As such, the core issues surrounding the essence and vastness of the Internet, such as of freedom of speech, net neutrality, patent and content infringement, will continue to be at the forefront.
How Congress rules on the bills addressing net neutrality, the Communications, Consumer's Choice, and Broadband Deployment Act in the Senate, and the Internet Freedom and Nondiscrimination Act in the House, will affect the way the public continues to utilize the Internet and ultimately, may determine the success or failure of online businesses and web hosting companies.
