HRC Long Island Wins Big at 5th Annual Outlook Awards Dinner
March 1, 2011 by Anthony Moll
The following is from HRC volunteer Teri Moschetta:
For the 5th year in a row, the readers of Outlook magazine, the largest LGBT publication on Long Island, chose HRC Long Island as the Best Political Organization and, for the first time, they selected HRC as the Best Overall Community Organization. In addition, HRC Long Island volunteer Alex Martinez tied for Activist of the Year, and HRC National Board of Directors co-chair Rebecca Tillet was voted Volunteer of the Year.
The awards were presented at the 5th annual Outlook-Long Island dinner at the Thatched Cottage in Centerport, NY on Saturday, January 15, 2011. Tom and Johnny Malanga, publishers of Outlook, hosted this annual dinner dance attended by over 250 people. The fact that we swept all four categories in which we were nominated is a tribute to the work of our volunteers and local leadership, led by HRC Board of Governors member Patty Ellis. HRC continues to grow in success and influence on Long Island.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon

Crowds began to pack Tahrir Square and the surrounding streets on Friday to mark two years since the revolution that toppled Hosni Mubarak from power.
Protesters scaled monuments during the demonstration in central Cairo, with many calling for the downfall of President Mohamed Morsi.
Protesters used flares in the demonstration, which started on Friday, and highlighted popular discontent with a perceived lack of progress made towards democracy.
The demonstration united tens of thousands of Egyptians, marching together in the country\(***)s capital on Friday.
The protests began peacefully, but a burning desire for change and a desire of security forces to maintain control of demonstrations meant that tension was certain to escalate.
As security forces attempted to block demonstrators from sensitive areas such as the interior ministry, stones were thrown from the crowd. On the second day, security forces were also seen throwing stones.
The "Guy Fawkes mask", popularised by graphic novel and movie "V for Vendetta" was made globally synonymous with protest due to its use by Anonymous and Occupy groups around the world.
The clashes continued into Saturday night, with a violent fringe of football fans claiming "revenge" for the deaths of fellow "Ultras" in Port Said last year.
Many of the protesters involved in the most intense clashes wore masks to prevent them from being identified by security forces.
Riot police atop one of the buildings close to Ministry of Interior throw stones at protesters during ongoing clashes on Saturday.
Masked protesters from the newly established "Black Bloc" group storm one of the buildings near the lines of riot police. Parts of the building caught fire after Molotov cocktails were thrown at it.
Protesters also started fires in a bid to create a smokescreen to hinder security forces\(***) use of tear gas.
A protester covers his face from the tear gas surrounding him as riot police attempted to disperse crowds clashing with them for the second day.
Protesters take control of a building adjacent to the Ministry of Interior on the second day of clashes and use it as a base from which to attack riot police.
A photojournalist carries a child who fainted on Saturday after being exposed to tear gas during clashes with police in Mohammed Mahmoud street, just off Tahrir Square.
Protesters and bystanders alike tried to find any sort of cover from the tear gas shot by police as the demonstration came to the end of its second day.

Re: Hurricane Preparation
Where I live, we probably go through more hurricanes than any place on earth. My boats have survived three of them at anchor, two Cat I's and one Cat III, with only very minor damage.
I was between sailboats for Katrina, and probably 98 per cent of the boats here were destroyed (mostly by not being prepared for the 30 plus foot surge, rather than the wind). But, I had a friend who rode it out successfully on a gigantic storm anchor, who even stayed on his boat (I wouldn't have). His biggest concern, he said, was not the wind, but rather the hundreds of boats he watched get blown by his boat, during the storm.
The main thing, is to have a plan, before a named storm is heading your way. Pick out your hurricane hole, and a back up, and go explore them with a sounder. Pick out exactly where you will tie your lines, put out your anchors, etc. Having a smaller boat with an engine is really handy, for running out lines and anchors easily, and for getting back if your hurricane hole is in the sticks, which most good ones are.
Strip off the sails, canvas, dodgers, and biminis: they will be damaged or destroyed if you leave them on. Windage is your enemy. I always run my spare halyards as back ups to the forestay. I don't know if it helps, but it has never hurt.
They are survivable by your boat. We survive them on a regular basis here, mostly from having learned what to do and not do, from trial and error.

@ Paul Marks : you are clearly an advocate of the stronger party, employers, and your "free labor market" is nothing less than the law of the jungle : let the powerful corporations continue to oppress powerless employees. Your comment that a regulated labor market leads to high unemployment is disproved by facts: as I mentioned in my blogpost, "The case for a different labor-market reform - not PELMAR" in my blog Ahmed's Universe, Brazil has one of the most protected labor forces in the world, and yet unemployment there has fallen to over 5%, whereas in America with pro-employer labor laws, jobless numbers have recently been closer to 10% than 5%.
Unemployment is clearly the result of other forces than labor laws: these are in place in order to redress the unbalance between the strong and the powerful, and as such they play a key role in society. Of course we can always go back to the perfect rule-less labor market: slavery.
Talk to your local union office, and ask what they think of the NLRB; it will most likely be something akin to "feckless bureaucrats." Perhaps that's really, on a larger scale, an endorsement of the Board's purpose. Prior to its creation, labor disputes had a tendency to get violent and cause collateral damage. Would the country really be better off with Pinkertons policing disputes, or the Board and its Regional offices? I think people miss the larger picture with this issue, just as with the endless Euro "summits." The remedy for debt and currency disputes in Europe was formerly war; the remedy for US "free labour market" disputes was a lengthy strike and violence. Is it not better for all that these issues now reside in a court or at a bargaining table?
Also, just look at a large-scale example: UPS vs. FedEx. UPS is doing just fine with its Teamster employees, and those employees must work very hard under rigorous guidelines to receive the collective bargaining agreement's strong wages and benefits. If the government "backs union power" as the above comment states, why the rapid decline in numbers and the disappearance of the defined benefit pension? If there is truly a "backing" by the government, it is for business and its strongest lobbyists. FedEx employees are effectively prevented from forming a union because Congress calls them an "airline" while UPS is a shipping company - come on. I feel for UPS on this one. Why doesn't FedEx compete on a level playing field? Where's the square deal?
If the Economist was the free market supporting magazine it claims to be you would be campaigning for the end of the National Labour Relations Board (like you I am using English spelling) and the "Labour Laws" it represents.
It is, perhaps, more important than the labour market be free than that any other market be free. For if the labour market is not free (if government backs union power - in the ways explained by W.H. Hutt's "The Strike Threat System" and other works), then wages and conditions of work will not adjust to changes in the economy (for example a credit money bubble bust - the bust of the sort of monetary policy the Economist magazine supports) and MASS UNEMPLOYMENT will result.
Most famously both Herbert "The Forgotten Progressive" Hoover and President Roosevelt (in spite of denouncing Hoover as a "socialist" in the election of 1932) prevented wages adjusting to the crash of 1929 (as they had done to the crash of 1921 - when Warren Harding's Administration did not get involved) - thus there was MASS UNEMPLOYMENT all through the 1930s - only broken by the blunt instrument of wage controls in World War II (where war time price increases, especially of true "BLACK MARKET" prices, cut back real wages).
Without a free labour market the blunt instument of government wage controls (with all the harmful effects such a "one size fits all" policy has on relative wages in a changeing economy) are inevitable - otherwise the policy the Economist magazine favours of dealing with mass unemployment (the "Keynesian" policy of increasing the money supply - the very thing that causes boom/bust events in the first place) will fail over time as wages will simply be pushed up (by union action) to follow prices. Even J.M. Keynes himself, de facto, admitted this - in the introduction of the German edition of his "General Theory..." (1936). His policy (increasing the money supply) would work better in a totalitarian state. Why would it work better? Because such a state can control wage rates.
So there are your three choices (and you only have three choices - in the long term, and it is the long term NOW).
A free labour market - no NLRB and so on.
A totalitarian state - where the labour market is not free, but wages are controlled by the state.
Or MASS UNEMPLOYMENT - as Greece and so on now have (with their highly regulated and unionized labour markets).
As for the United States Constitution.
The Constitution gives no power to a the Feds to make someone "recoginise" unions on his property (this is not "interstate commerce" - this is the basic contractual relationship between an employer and employees).
If such a power exists at all it is with the State government - NOT the Federal government (otherwise the Tenth Amendment is meaningless).
Therefore the NLRB (and the Federal "Labour Laws") are clearly unconstitutional.
u, mon amigo, have both a poor learning of history and grasp of human nature's less morally endowed side
This is your counter argument?
Clearly the left are going down the drain.
free labor markets historically allow employers to take advantage of employees (i feel like with 7 billion ppl in the world, responding to you is a waste of my time, but owell)
i'm more right than you. boeing should be allowed to manufacture in sc. their employees in washington get paid too much. that's not to say free labor markets are the way to go. there are reasons for and against unions. sure, there are too many bureaucracies and much red tape. but that doesn't mean we don't need regulation. people aren't omniscient - they'll unknowingly be taken advantage of. plenty of employers are happy doing so, cashing in fat bonuses and wishing their handicap weren't 10 (from the blues). hence, you have a poor understanding of human nature and history.
im surprised you read the economist and think this is left. you are so right you may as well be in the break down lane passing ppl.
I'm going to side with Mr. coolflippers on this one.
Markets are truly competitive if and only if both sides have perfect information and bargaining power. In any real-world labor market (excuse me if I don't make a pointless issue out of English spellings or not), the employer will always have a significantly better idea of the value of a employee's work because it's his job to know. The job applicant can only guess by what offers s/he receives and (nowadays) by searching the web, and unless s/he has significant savings built up, s/he will also be pressured to take a offer quickly to pay the mounting bills rather than test the market for everything its worth, which could take months. Of course if you're attached to smaller city or hometown with limited job opportunities, that just makes the bargaining even more one-sided.
I don't believe its a stretch to point the decline in union participation and the relocation of job growth to right-to-work states in the sunbelt to stagnant wages of the lower and middle class and the soaring income growth in the better educated upper class (see the chart that has accompanied every economist article on the OWS protests for the last six months).
Labor unions allow employees to pool expertise on the market. Sure, they can also enable the employees to distort the market to their own benefit (and that would be job-stifling and bad), but it comes down to a balance. Too much power to the unions = bad. No power to the employees = bad. I in no way claim to be able to say exactly where that balance is, but to say that labor unions are always the best solution or that completely deregulated markets are a panacea for all economic woes is an exercise in willful ignorance.
Sorry if that came off as grumpy. Clearly I shouldn't reply to blogs after my bowl team loses.
The "perfect competition" concept (with its perfect information and so on) is a fallacy - although it did not start off that way. Leon Walras (and the other mathematical economists who thought it up) used it as a theoretical tool - they did not claim it was (or could be) a "real world" thing. Indeed with "perfect competition" the costs of each company would be the same - which would mean that the competitive process would drive down profits to zero (not only would MARGINAL revenue equal marginal cost, but average revenue would equal average costs - which is clearly absurd).
The whole point of real world economic activity is to find information (for example on supplies, or ways of using supplies better) that your competitors do not have. The never ending quest to make sure that one knows things that they do NOT know - so that one's costs are LOWER (not the same) as their costs. It is "never ending" as the competition does not stand still - they think of new ways of doing things (or new markets) as well, they get advantages with some products and one gets advantages in other products. And the whole thing keeps changing over TIME.
If someone wants to know how competition (and so on) can work in the real world they should read works such as Carl Menger "Principles of Economics" (although not one of the early translations - it was, at first, translated very badly from the German), Ludwig Von Mises' "Human Action" and Henry Hazlitt's "Economics in One Lesson".
As for "trust busting" and "competition policy".
"Teddy" Roosevelt may have had noble intentions (although I doubt that - as he was a follower of Richard Ely and also loved the state and LOVED WAR FOR ITS OWN SAKE).
But even if had noble intentions the EFFECTS of his actions were not for the benefit of customers. Contrary to what is taught "anti trust" or "competition policy" stuff does not lead to lower prices or better quality goods and services - it leads to higher prices and lower quality goods and services than would otherwise be the case.
What "anti trust law" is really about is less efficient (but politically connected) enterprises using the government to hit their competitors. This was true right from the start.
For example when the Union Pacific (and so on) could not bomb and shoot J.J. Hill's "Great Northern" railroad out of business, and could not take over by Wall Street manipulations either (the Harrimans paid for Nelson R. to, partly, back them - but Hill went to J.P. Morgan to act as a counterbalance and the Harrimans gave up that method of trying to destroy Hill, and came to terms).
So neither bombs and bullets (the people at the Great Northern just shot back when the Union Pacific people tried the strong arm stuff) or Wall Street tricks could defeat Hill - so his foes went to the government and used "anti trust" to enforce their de facto cartel.
Just as the ICC (way back in 1887) had not been a way of breaking railroad cartels (as the college textbooks claim) - on the contrary it had been a way of trying to ENFORCE cartels (against businessmen who would not play ball).
Even when government is not corrupt (which it normally is) "anti trust" has terrible effects. For example, "anti trust" actions effectively destroyed the shoe making machinery industry in the United States. "Anti trust" stuff does not really make production "fairer" in the Untited States (whatever "fair" is supposed to mean) - in reality it helps push production out of the United States.
As for unions..... I must frist stress that I am all in favour of the "fraternal" functions (old age pay, legal services and so on).
An employer must always be allowed to say "go jump in the nearest lake - I have no interest in talking to you, and if you do not turn up for work [go "on strike"] I am going to hire other people to do your jobs, even if I have to pay them more than I am paying you".
No person can be loyal to both his employer and his union (not in a conflict between the two) and no business can be successful if the workforce can not be trusted - i.e. if they can not be trusted to be their on time and do their jobs to the best of their ablity (and not steal).
It may well even be worth paying more (and offering better conditions) in order to avoid a unionized workforce. "Yellow Dog" contracts are illegal but there is no good reason for that to be so.
Especially as many American unions are now more political than they have been at any time since the 1930s (when the AFL/CIO got rid of the antileftist regulations at the end of the 1980s, and let in the radicals to leadership positions, sensible employers took note).
As for government pro union laws - W.H. Hutt "The Strike Threat System".
Anyway American wages became the highest of any major country in the world long before unions (leftist or non leftist) became important.
Pro union laws produce UNEMPLOYMENT - and, in the long term, lower (not higher) wages and conditions than would otherwise be the case.
In short (as I ran out of space) - fraternal functions good (old age pensions, medical cover, legal services - paid for by Fraternity dues).
"Strike Threat System" bad - if it is backed by statute (anyone should always be allowed to walk out - AS LONG AS HE DOES NOT COME BACK AND EXPECT THE JOB TO STILL BE OPEN).
When the government backs up union power - you get Detriot or Gary Indiana (and that is no good for anyone in the end).
Nor would the South being wiped out make any difference - if the factories did not go south they would just go nowhere (industry would collapse even more than government taxes and regulations, and the credit bubble fiancial system, have made it collapse anyway).
By the way the decline of the Fraterinties (in Britain the decline of the "Friendly Societies") and they taking over of their functions by unions.
How many Americans know that unions like SEIU are a scam?
All that money they spend on politics. Do you think the money comes from the tooth fairy?
It comes from UNION DUES.
Which means those promises of SEIU pensions (and so on) are not funded. Because the purple people leadership (the real leadership) has (and is) spending the money on politics - apart from the money that somehow finds it way into.....
The SEIU is more corrupt than the Teamsters - and that is saying a lot.
"But the U.A.W. got a good bailout for General Motors".
It did - I can not deny that.
However, ripping off the pension funds (for example the Indiana police and teachers pension funds) and the other creditors is no long term solution for the problems of Gengeral Motors. And neither is endless subsdies from the taxpayer.
Sooner or later GM is going to have to face down the U.A.W.
Or THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE A GENERAL MOTORS.
Oh, by the way, I did reply to the others - but my replies did not appear (techical problem).
Federal Express be FORCED to go union - because UPS is union.
Well the founder of Federal Express is getting on in years, but he is Vietnam Vet - so if the left comment college boys think they can force him to do something he does not want him to do....
"No, we meant get the govenrment to force him" - now I see.
"Square Deal" - most likely that is pointing at T. Roosevelt.
And it is TRUE that T. Rooselvelt hated any businessman who stood up to him (businessmen who played ball were different - T.R. was a bit like Putin in that respect).
But he also hated union people who did not obey him. Basically he hated anyone who did not treat him as a little tin god. Because as President he was (in his own mind) vastly more important than the rule of law and the Constitution (he despised the principles of the Constitution anyway - as any follower of Richard Ely did).
T.R. faced a (partly) conservative Congress and conservative courts - so his actions were limited. But he never was the Marxist that the modern left (from Comrade Barack on down) imply he was - never.
T.R. was more of what became known in the 1920s (after his death) as a "Fascist" - he did not believe in the rule of the "working class" (or other such), he believed in the total power of the STATE (with himself as its all powerful "LEADER").
Not a nice guy - even if one leaves aside his love of war for-its-own-sake.

An electrical-mechanical device comprised of coin counters and electrical indicators to register and determine the number of plays or games a player has payed for, in coin, for a round of a given game; the subject device being comprised of a coin receptacle designed to receive and register a number of coins inserted for playing a number of games, with an electrical-mechanical register to indicate the exact number of coins placed in the receptacle for a given game. A master register control panel is provided for canceling any previously activated indicators after a given game.
1. An automatic indicator for a game having a plurality of individual plays per person, said indicator having electrical means to record games paid for in coin and functioning to display electrically and automatically the exact number of plays paid for by an individual player, comprising:
(a) a coin receptacle for receiving a plurality of coins in succession;

Multiple player games of chance, such as bingo games have become a favorite pastime and many organizations now promote such games for fund raising purposes. Games such as bingo are of the type where each player can on a given round, pay for and play a plurality of unit games simultaneously, the exact number of which being dependent on the desires of the player.
However, there have been many problems encountered with the use of games, such as bingo, for fund rasing purposes. Aside from the problem of close scrutiny by state agencies, there is the difficulty of maintaining an accounting of the receipts both on an individual game basis and for an entire day. Generally, reports of receipts must be made to interested state agencies which serve to audit the fund activity. In this latter regard, many state agencies have encountered the problem whereby individual bingo operators do not report all funds received in bingo operations on a given day or over a given period.
Moreover, similar problems have been encountered by the individual bingo operator, since individual workers at a bingo game may frequently divert funds to their own use. Obviously, this problem can lead to a significant shortage of funds which causes a pejorative situation relative to the accounting problem. In specific reference to the problem of individual workers diverting money in a given single game of bingo or similar games, individual players buy cards to play one or more games by giving the appropriate amount of money to a collector for a corresponding number of cards or plays for a given round. In the usual play situation there is a series of games played over a given time, perhaps an evening, for example. Usually one player will use the same cards over repeatedly during the same evening. This latter aspect aids a player who could cheat by allowing the player to surreptitiously use one or more cards even though the card has not been purchased for each new round. A worker collecting money must rely on his memory in order to determine who has paid to play a given number of cards for a given round in the series. If in addition to the problem of a worker's faulty memory as to the amount of monies collected for cards played, there may be a propensity to steal from the funds he receives, the problems above are correspondingly compounded. Thus, there is a need to control all money input for game operations in order to avoid the problems discussed. This invention is directed to that end.
Yet another object of this invention is to provide an improved system for controlling game operations involving money transfers;
It is also an object of this invention to provide an improved game device;
Another object of this invention is to provide an improved control system for bingo game operators;
It is yet another object of this invention to provide an improved financial control system for games wherein multiple players can each play a plurality of games simultaneously;
Yet another object of the subject invention is to provide an auxiliary device for monitoring the number of games paid for by a player for the game;
Other and further objects of the subject invention will become manifest from a reading of the following description taken in conjunction with the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view, in section, of the coin receptacle;
FIG. 2 is a side elevational view in section of the coin receptacle;
FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the electrical-mechanical system;
FIG. 4 is a schematic circuit diagram of the complete electrical assembly used in the subject device;
FIG. 5 is an elevation view of the multiple switching mechanism, partially in schematic;
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the multiple switching mechanism housing;
The subject invention is an electrical control device for games, particularly a bingo game, comprised of an electrical system for registering coin input for a game play, with lights to indicate the number of coins inserted for a given game, and a counting device to register the number of plays accumulated over a given period. The device is comprised of an integrally housed unit, which in turn includes counter mechanism, a coin relay, a program control unit and an electrical indicator for displaying the number of plays paid for in coin. A remote cutoff switch not included in the unit serves to cut off all electrical input at the end of a game play to start new game play.
Referring now to the drawings in which a preferred embodiment is shown, the following description is of a particular embodiment as applied to a bingo game, however the scope of this invention should not be construed to be limited to only bingo games. The concepts herein can be applied to other games of similar play sequences.
The invention is generally comprised of a coin receptacle 10, shown in FIG. 1, structured to receive a multiple number of coins. This coin receptacle 10 houses almost all the key elements of the subject invention. Moreover, such individual receptacle 10 is normally situated at each player's location, during game play, and is designed to accommodate and register each player's coin input for bingo play operations. As a result, every bingo player will have a coin input assembly 10 for the play of bingo for given game rounds.
Further describing the particular features of coin receptacle 10, a parallelopiped shape box-like cover 12 serves to house the internal components of coin receptacle 10. Located on the upper surface 18 of the box 12 of the coin receptacle 10 is a coin receiver slot 14, particularly adapted for receiving coins of a twenty-five cent denomination, however the coin receptacle 10 can be readily adapted to receive and register coins of other denominations, depending on the exact financial desires of the game operator. Located within the cover box 12 is a coin register box 16, said box being rectangularly shaped and conjoined to the inside cover of box 12 just adjacent to the coin receptacle 14.
As a coin is placed into slot 14, it will descend, by gravitational force, downwardly through the inner chamber 18 of box 16. A spring loaded lever arm 20, located in chamber 18, projects into the upper part of inner chamber 18, as shown in FIG. 2. Said lever 20 serves as a coin return lever, when coin return button 21 is depressed, it serves to activate lever 20 for coin returns through chamber 18 directly to coin return outlet 21.
Located adjacent the bottom of chamber 18 in coin register box 16 is a coin register switch 28, which is equipped with a rotatably mounted lever arm 30. Lever arm 30 is appropriately restrained, by a spring mechanism or other similar device, from downward movement beyond positon 30A shown in FIG. 2. Accordingly, as a coin of predetermined size falls downwardly from the coin insert 14 it will continue to fall through chamber 18 in box 16, to strike lever arm 30, depressing it momentarily downwardly to position 30A, as represented, and thence the coin falls into coin storage box 32 situated at the very bottom of box 16. More specifically, referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, there is integrally and rotatably mounted on coin register switch mechanism 28 a lever arm 30 designed for limited rotation counterclockwise about a pivot point 29, as shown. A coil spring 31 is seated at pivot point 29. This coil spring 31 serves to resiliently restrain and then return the lever arm 30 to the upright position after a coin of suitable size passes over the lever arm 30, causing it to rotate counterclockwise or downwardly as graphically represented in FIG. 2 to a position shown in phantom, indicated as 30A. After the coin passes completely over the end of lever 30 and depresses the lever 30 to position 30A, it passes over the end of arm 30 and downwardly into the bottom of coin storage chamber 32. Coins are stored in box 32 for removal by the operator at will.
Referring again to FIG. 2, when lever arm 30, in switch 28, rotates counterclockwise, as described above, the impressment and passing weight of a coin causes the end of lever arm 30 adjacent pivot point 29 to actuate the microswitch rotor mechanism, not shown, of switch 28. Coin register switch 28, other than the foregoing described structure, is a conventional switching device, preferably a microswitch, which when closed momentarily by the above described movement of lever arm 30, in turn activates relay 40. Relay 40 in turn generates electrical signals to electrical mechanical counter device 46, shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Counter 46 is a conventional mechanical digital counter serving to register total coin input over a given duration.
Referring now to FIGS. 2, 3, and 4, coin register switch 28 is connected by an appropriate electrical lead to a program control unit 50 also located in box 12, as shown. More particularly, lead 51 extending between coin relay 40 and program control unit 50 serves as a parallel connection with lead 52 extending to program control unit 50, as represented in FIG. 3. Therefore, movement of coin register switch 28 causes coin relay 40 to activate counter 46 and simultaneously generates an electrical signal to program control unit 50 for generation of display units therein, as more fully described hereinbelow.
The program control unit 50 is comprised primarily of a multiple point stepper switching device 60, hereinafter referred to as multiple switching device 60, and electrical panel lights 94A, 94B . . . 94F, as shown, and relay lockout 98. The functional interrelationship of these units is more fully described as follows:
Multiple switching device 60 is comprised of solenoid drive unit 63, represented schematically in FIG. 4. This solenoid drive 63 is contained in cylindrical housing 62, shown in perspective in FIG. 6. Moreover, solenoid drive unit 63 is activated, through electrical signals received from movement of coin register switch 28, to rotate in successive incremental movements a ratchet wheel 68. The circumferential periphery of ratchet wheel 68 is a plurality of conventionally shaped and disposed ratchet teeth 69, as seen in FIG. 5. Engaging respective ratchet teeth is ratchet arm 80, serving to activate the rotational movement of ratchet wheel 68, as it rotates counterclockwise about shaft 76.
Located on the circumferential periphery of ratchet wheel 68 are two radially extending contact arms 74A and 74B. As shown in FIG. 5, these radially extending arms 74A and 74B are diametrically opposed, being aligned with one another along a common diameter one hundred and eighty degrees apart. Contact arms 74A and 74B function, as each extends beyond the peripheral extreme of adjacent ratchet teeth, serve to contact a series of pressure actuated switches 70A, 70B . . . 70K as represented in FIG. 5. Switches 70A, 70B . . . 70K are arranged in a semicircular order in housing 64 just beyond the outer periphery of ratchet teeth 69, as represented in FIGS. 5 and 6. Moreover, each switch 70A, 70B . . . 70K is spaced equal distance from each adjacent switch, said spacing being equivalent in arcuate distance to the single rotational movement of ratchet wheel 68. Thus, as contact arm 74B, for example, moves successively with incremental movements of ratchet wheel 68 over switch 70A to switch 70B, and so forth, it will activate by presssing contact, each such successive switch 74A, 74B . . . 74K, in sequential order as represented. After ratchet wheel 68 makes a 180� movement, contact arm 74A functions in similar fashion to contact arm 74B for the remaining one-half revolutionary movement of ratchet wheel 68.
Switches 70C, 70D . . . 70H are each connected to corresponding lights 94A, 94B . . . 94F, as shown, As each switch 70C, 70D . . . and 70H is impressed, the corresponding lights 94A, 94B . . . 94F are activated through intermediate circuit corrections 92A, 92B . . . 92F, as shown in FIG. 5. It must be noted that switches 70A, 70B, 70J, and 70K are not connected to any lights, as shown in the drawings. These switches 70A, 70B, 70J and 70K serve as extra switches or bypasses in the embodiment shown in the drawings. Swith, 70J, serves to activate relay lockout 98, through lead 96. Relay lockout 98 functions to cut off all electrical signals to electrical lights 94A, 94B . . . 94F upon movement of the contact arm through the seventh and eighth switch position, since in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, only six lights are used for up to six plays of a given game.
Turning attention again to the electrical connections between switches 70C, 70D . . . 70H, and the corresponding lights, it is necessary once a switch is activated to turn on a corresponding light, such as light 94A, that such light remains on when additional coins are placed in the coin receptacle for further game plays.
In order to fulfill this purpose, diode rectifiers are placed between respective switches in order to maintain the energized state on all prior light circuits. Thus, located between switch 70D and light 94A is diode 90A on lead 88A; located between switch 70E and and light 94B is diode 90B on lead 88B. Similarly, diodes 90C, 90D and 90E are located between the remaining switch junctures, as shown. By the foregoing structure, each light 94A, 94B . . . 94F, once energized will remain so as the contact arm moves successively to each correspondingly successive switch position.
Generally, represented in the schematic view shown in FIG. 4, is the overall electrical mechanical operation. A remote control unit 150, with transformer 160, and reset switches 166 and 168, is joined to the rest of the unit through connector unit 152, containing plugs 180, 182, and 186. Electrical leads 170, 172, 52, and 176 serve as appropriate connections for transmission of voltage to operate all remaining parts of the unit, including solenoids 40 and 63.
The foregoing described structure, while directed to a specific embodiment is only one of many embodiments the subject invention can assume, and the foregoing description should not be considered as a limitation on the following claims.

In 2003, Care, Malteser, and ZOA decided to carry out a joint situation analysis and planning process to help define the focus for their programmes and enhance co-ordination of their work in Odtar Meanchey. Key stages have included the Need Assessment (April 2003) a province wide assessment, and in November \u2013December 2003 a multi-stakeholder planning process which helped to define a Provincial Development Strategy (PDS). The PDS is a multi-sectoral strategy document which identifies objectives in 10 components (community development, landmines, land and natural resources, agriculture, support to businesses, health and sanitation, education, women, human rights and governance, and coordination) and specific strategies to achieve these over the next five years. The three organisations will use the PDS to define programme activities and already joint funding proposals have been submitted to raise the resources required to implement the strategies, and it is hoped that additional NGOs working in the province will follow the PDS framework.
The need has been identified to set a baseline within the province for the 10 components to enable achievements towards the objectives in the PDS to be measured. A mid-term evaluation in January 2007 and an end evaluation in January 2009 have been scheduled which will repeat the baseline survey to assess change related to the objectives over time. The objectives of this consultancy as stated in the terms of reference (ToR) were (see annex A for full ToR):
to review all relevant project documents including the needs assessment, strategy document, project plan and relevant proposals as well as essential documents of the participating organisations and give them suggestion for the set up of the questionnaires appropriate for the baseline survey
to develop additional interview questions and conduct additional interviews with relevant stakeholders, including government officials from village, commune, and district as well as provincial level, other NGO staff, village representatives maybe using a RRA method
This resulted in three stages for the baseline survey; the household survey, focus group discussions (FGD), and interviews with provincial government officials. It was determined that the household survey would generate the majority of the information required for the baseline, and consequently the planning, implementation, and analysis of this stage was the major task for the three participating organisations and the consultant. Focus group discussions were used as a way to gather sensitive information, difficult to gather reliably from the household survey, and also to gather data to compliment the household survey results; providing participant\u2019s thoughts on the situation in their villages on issues relevant to the PDS and ideas on explanatory factors. The interviews were added to set a form of baseline for component 10 of the PDS, co-ordination. The methodology for each of these stages is explained in detail below.

A few days ago, I made this troll druid on a friend's server. Many people I know play here, and more are transferring. I was happy to be with my friends and started leveling. Once I got to about 60, I started to level my professions. However, I ran into a major problem.
The economy on Darkspear is horrible.
Specifically speaking, there is a major lack of raw materials on the Auction House. I thought since it was a high population server, the economy would be good and the Auction House would be well supplied. This is not the case. There are rarely any raw materials such as Silverleaf or Copper Ore. The materials that are listed are grossly overpriced and I refuse to buy them.
This isn't a problem limited to Darkspear alone. Many other servers, especially low population servers, have very limited economies mainly because of the lack of a population.
There are two solutions to this problem.
1. Make all Auction Houses cross-faction. This would mean removing the 15% cut in Goblin Cartel Cities and also making the Auction Houses in capital cities on both sides cross-faction. Currently, cross-faction Auctions are used for arbitrage and not as a means of selling goods to consumers. This would potentially double the market of a server and would be easy to implement.
2. Make Auction Houses cross-server. Ideally, they would be divided into battlegroups, similar to Battlegrounds and the Looking For Dungeon system. This would increase the size of the market drastically, bringing in both more consumers and "companies," if you will. Not only would there be many more goods, prices would go down due to more competition and producers of goods would see more profit from increased demand for their goods. They would also be able to expand, as many merchants are limited by their server's lack of materials. While it would be slightly harder to implement, the infrastucture is in place as seen through Battlegrounds and the Looking For Dungeon system.
Hopefully, these ideas come to light and help make World of Warcraft a better place to do business in.
1) No.. Goes against the Warcraft aspect. Why would the Horde want to trade with the Alliance and vice versa. I feel it will also destroy the economy of the server.
2) No. The LFD already destroyed a lot of the community aspect of servers where people worked together to accomplish instances. Now you just jump in a queue. This would destroy the rest of the community aspect of the game. We'd all be just ants trudging our way across a sugar field.

definatly do not want to see any cross server auctioning however i would like to see better access to cross faction.
not remove or reduce the fee, simply put one in major cities to make it viable to actually sell things cross server since as you said no one uses it to sell cross faction only to move things.
Why would the Horde want to trade with the Alliance and vice versa. I feel it will also destroy the economy of the server.
You already can trade cross-faction in Goblin areas. The lore isn't destroyed. Also you fail to mention to explain why the economies would be destroyed. Simply opening up markets would not destroy an economy. Rather it would help it, as I explained above.
The LFD already destroyed a lot of the community aspect of servers where people worked together to accomplish instances. Now you just jump in a queue. This would destroy the rest of the community aspect of the game.
While LFD may have hurt the community, that doesn't mean this will. How often do you talk to the guy who posted ten stacks of netherweave cloth? The reason why LFD hurt the community was that it took dungeons, a social experience, and put people from different servers there. You may talk to the people in your dungeon, but you don't talk to the people on the auction house. Just because it's cross server doesn't mean it would hurt the community.
not remove or reduce the fee, simply put one in major cities to make it viable to actually sell things cross server since as you said no one uses it to sell cross faction only to move things.The reason why I said no one uses it is that the fee is too high. Neutral Auction Houses take a 15% cut as opposed to a 5% cut in capital cities. Even if you put a neutral auctioneer in capital cities, people still wouldn't use it because of the 15% cut.
The Goblin Auction Houses have a high service fee attached too. And it wouldn't help, not really. At best it would help one side while hurting the other.
And the reason for the increased service fee is because Blizzard doesn't want Alliance and Horde to have an easy time transferring goods.
I doubt it. It will drive trade good prices down to the barest minimum at the start. You'd be lucky to make listing fees. If you've been on a decently populated server, you should know what the undercutting is like. This will just accelerate the problem. It would also let the gold farmers and bots ran rampant through every server instead of having to maintain gold creation and characters on every server they could just be on one server and sell everywhere. If you really think that ore selling for 1-10 gold per stack is helping then yeah, this will help the economy. I'd prefer that decent prices were available across the spectrum of trade goods and products. Somewhere where a new player can make some gold and afford the large expensive items. You can't do that easily on quest rewards.

Actually, I know who the decent sellers are on my server and am willing to pay a little more to support them. I know who drives the undercuts, who will stab you in the back to get a sale, who is likely to ninja goods if they go on a raid with you. I don't have to support these people. Over time, they get discouraged and leave the market or move on to other hunting grounds. Yeah, they can pay to change their names but even if that happens you can spot their trends and habits. With millions of sellers, this would be impossible. You can't build up a community through the marketplace, know who to haggle with, who can supply you cheaper goods if you work with them on something else, etc.
Though I guess when it is better to sell my cut gems to the vendor than list them because of the rapid decrease in prices, it really won't matter.
Edited by Sorelai on 6/2/2011 6:00 PM PDT
Apparently Sorelai has not taken an economics class nor read the original post. You say that prices will go down because of an increase of supply. However, you completely fail to think about this and forget that there would be a huge increase in consumers as well. Yes, there would be undercutting, but people would be buying more materials so it wouldn't matter. If the price of materials dropped that low, then it would not make economic sense to list them. Therefore, people would stop listing them. Supply would go down, creating a shortage, therefore driving the prices back up. Also, what new character needs to buy these large and expensive items, anyway? The Auction House isn't some charity where it gives gold to new players, it's a marketplace where people trade goods. I don't care if it's a new player or a level 85 raider selling, if I want 20x[Silverleaf], I'm going to buy it for the cheapest amount. They can still make money if they sell their items. Overall, what you're trying to suggest is that prices would drop dramatically due to increased competition, but you fail to understand that making auction houses cross-server would increase demand for materials greatly, therefore equalizing prices. And yes, while you might occasionally recognize one name on the Auction House doesn't mean that the Auction House is the cornerstone of the community today. If the community is already as damaged as you say it is, then why would it matter if we lose one tiny little piece more? It's like worrying about your $5 bill is safe or not when you left it inside of your burning house.
Rankin, how would trade between the Horde and Alliance hurt one side while helping another? Why would anyone trade if it was hurting them? Capitalism (both in real life and in WoW) is based on the idea that trade is mutually beneficial for both parties involved. It doesn't hurt the U.S. to trade with China, why would it hurt the Horde to trade with the Alliance? Also, you mention that it is the way it is because Blizzard intended to be that way. That is completely moronic. There's a reason we are playing WoW Patch 4.1 instead of 1.0, and that is because Blizzard is not always right. Things change in the World of Warcraft a lot of the time, and this is one of those things.
Lastly, who cares about gold sellers? You all say that they could use it to transfer gold. So what? What would that do? They are already on every single server in the game. If I wanted to buy gold today, I could easily do so. People are not going to want to buy more gold if Auction Houses suddenly became cross-server. They wouldn't get more money nor should that be a deciding factor in this discussion.
I simply don't think the increase in demand will balance things out. I believe that gold farmers and bots will invade low population realms and their supply will outweigh any demands benefits. Since they will be on low population realms, their chances of being reported will be lower and they will be able to run 24 hours a day without hindrance.

Well, then you're simply wrong. If you're just going to say one sentence statements without warrants, you might as well not speak at all. We get that's what you think, but you're wrong and can't find anything to back you up.
Because one side nearly always has a higher population than the other. Real life has things like tariffs and embargoes to alter the flow of trade, there would be no such protections built into the AH.
The US isn't at war with China.
It's not moronic just because you don't like it. Trade between the Horde and the Alliance has been the same since beta. It's one of the few things that hasn't changed in seven years. Try to imagine why.
The issue is not the lack of population, you said yourself that darkspear was high pop.
This issue is their are many more 85's and alts of 85's willing to blow a few gold or a few hundred gold then their are genuine newbies willing to sell.
The larger the AH population they more undercutting and the more rewarded are those who use add ons to assist them.
So your newbie walks up to he AH and sells his puts up his stack of peacebloom for 2g. On another server someone hits their scan 10 seconds later, buys and reposts for 20g because he knows 85's will pay that much.
The more manipulation of the AH their is the higher prices are, more people just makes it harder and harder to find that bargain.
Have you ever taken an economics class? Listen up, because Assistant Professor Horajio is going to give you a lesson.
Let's say there's two people on an island. One is really good at purifying water, and the other is really good at hunting the pigs on the island. They could work separately, one having good water and no food while the other will have delicious meat but contaminated water. On the other hand, the guy with the water could trade with the guy with the meat. He would exchange meat for water, and both parties would have water and meat. This is an example of trading, and shows that trading is beneficial for both parties.
Now, lets say the meat guy wanted an unfair amount of water for his meat. Like, the water guy would give ALL of his water for a bite of meat. The guy selling water can refuse this deal and keep his water. When a trade comes up that is bad for one side, they can refuse. That is the beauty of capitalism.
That is a brief explanation of why trading is good.
Now, you talk about trade embargoes helping smaller population countries.
This is the dumbest thing I have heard all day.
An embargo is a RESTRICTION on trade. It is BAD FOR TRADE. We already established that trade is bad.
Here's an example of two countries trading.
Let's say that Mexico and Brazil want to trade. In one year, Mexico can produce either 150 units of coffee or 75 units of broccoli. In one year, Brazil can produce 200 units of either coffee or broccoli, but not both. In this case, Mexico is clearly behind in both coffee and broccoli. However, what can happen is that Mexico produces 150 units of coffee and Brazil makes 200 units of broccoli. They then trade and get more than they could've gotten individually. Normally, without trade, Mexico would have to give up 2 units of coffee for 1 unit of broccoli. As long as Mexico trades less than 2 units of coffee for 1 unit of broccoli, they are getting more broccoli than they could've made by themselves. Likewise, Brazil has to give up one unit of broccoli to get one unit of coffee. If they trade at a rate that is above 1 unit of broccoli for coffee, they will get more broccoli and coffee than if they did not trade. Therefore, any rate of exchange between 1 and 2 of coffee to broccoli will benefit both countries, since they get more materials than they could've made by themselves.
Keep in mind, an embargo would STOP THIS. They would not be able to trade and get more resources. Countries with smaller populations who trade with larger countries benefit from trade because trade is inherently good, not because of embargoes like you state.
Also, I hate to burst your bubble, but the Horde and Alliance aren't actually at war. Sure, that's what people say, but it's not true. No one permanently dies from this war. If you die from a person of the opposite faction, then you come back to life in 30 seconds. No territory is won or lost. No matter how many times you kill Garrosh or Sylvanas, Orgrimmar and Undercity will always be Horde cities. The "war" between Alliance and Horde isn't a war so much as it is a scrimmage between members of the same team. There's nothing at stake in this "war," so we might as well trade to better ourselves off.
Lastly, shut up about it never changing. Trolls could never be druids or warlocks before Cata. Horde could never be paladins before TBC. Heck, the entire continents of Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor had never been changed since beta in seven years before Cataclysm. Saying that it's been that way is a dumb argument. People said the same thing to abolitionists in the civil war about slavery. Trust me, it's not a sound argument.
The issue is not the lack of population, you said yourself that darkspear was high pop.
No, this is the exact problem that would be fixed.
Let's say on my server, there's one person posting low level herbs, and one higher level buying and reposting. If that level 85 buys all of the herbs, I can't do anything because I don't want to spend that price. However, if there re now 10 people posting low level herbs, now there is more supply than before. The problem wasn't the 85 posting for higher, the problem was that there was a shortage in the first place. By introducing more producers of these raw materials into the market, prices go down because of competition. If the 85s post too high now, they won't get bought and prices will go down.
Also, my original problem was that there were NO HERBS WHATSOEVER, not that they were too expensive.
90 Blood Elf Rogue
I'd love to see a cross server AH. Niche markets would be easier filled, it might be easier for rare item collectors to spot a rare recipe since often one server has a few of them but another server hasn't seen one in years. I'd sell more items, people could buy more items, prices would be lower for new players and profits would be higher for volume sellers. I'd be very happy.
Now, you talk about trade embargoes helping smaller population countries.
That's because that's not what I said. You're looking for an argument so hard that you're willing to make one up just to keep going.
The players being able to resurrect is completely and totally irrelevant. That's just gameplay mechanics. The story line is what matters. And if Azeroth had a doomsday clock, it would be set half a second from midnight.
Go tell the citizens of South Shore that they can just "respawn". Go tell the citizens of Camp Taurajo that they can just find their corpses and be back in the game.
You're deliberately missing the point here.
How about you stop getting so angry that it might not change.
And despite all those changes, the Horde and Alliance still can't trade freely. Saying that other things have changed is the justification for changing something else is a bad argument.
And we're done here. Pack up your bags people, the OP is not going to listen to any arguments. He's just going to make up some amazing leaps of logical fallacy to keep arguing.
Edited by Rankin on 6/3/2011 4:09 AM PDT
Personally, even though I do like the idea of a cross server auction house, I would not support it. IF the game had been based around such a thing at the start then yes, it would be fine, it would basically become like Runescape's market (Everything can be sold for whatever but it is 90% of the time a stable price.) they would have to rework a lot of things to achieve this, drop rates to keep higher level items rarer and lower level items more common is an example of such.
Then they would probably have to make it harder to level up professions to make sure that certain items will always be wanted.
In the end it would be a lot of work for them and probably not worth it at all in the end.
The only real part about the current system that I dislike is that items from older expansions are actually worth more than current expansion items usually which I personally do not believe is a good thing. Why should netherweave be worth more than embersilk? Why should fel iron be worth more than elementium or for that matter obsidium?
Anyways, I don't support the idea, maybe cross faction but not cross server. (They'd have to lower the cross faction fee to like 10% instead of 15%)
I would have to say No as well. The economies on many servers are crashed, not to mention plagued with AH campers. Don't want that spreading to everyone.
Also, I think we have different definitions of a bad economy. If basic supplies are so scarce/expensive, then go farm them and rake in the gold. A true bad economy server is where almost everything except the most rarest of items have almost no value because of severe oversupply. Sure things are cheap, but the economy works both ways - you are also not going to make any money, either.
