Newmont at a crossroads: which path will it take?
By Payal Sampat
April 20, 2011
Yesterday was Newmont Mining Corporation s annual general meeting, held in Delaware.
Mass protest in 2004, the last time Newmont proposed expanding its Yanacocha mine into Cerro Quilish. Credit: GRUFIDES
In the weeks leading up to the AGM, reports started to trickle in about the world s second largest gold mining company s activities around Cerro Quilish, a mountain in northern Peru that is of spiritual significance and a water source for thousands of residents in and around Cajamarca.
This news was a turnaround from Newmont s decision to back off from its proposal to mine Cerro Quilish, following weeks of protest by the region s residents in Fall 2004, which temporarily shut down Newmont s operations at the Yanacocha mine near Cajamarca.
In the years since then, Newmont has taken steps that suggest it is trying to improve on this checkered track record with communities:

Change.org teams up with the No Dirty Gold campaign!
By Payal Sampat
March 24, 2011
In recent months, tens of thousands of activists from Change.org, the world's fastest growing platform for social change, have lent their voices to the No Dirty Gold campaign's efforts to clean up irresponsible mining and are calling on jewelry retailers to provide alternatives to dirty gold.
Here s what Ben Rattray, Founder and CEO of Change.org had to say about US mega retailer Target s decision to sign on to the Golden Rules:
It's been incredible working with Earthworks, Target, and the over 20,000 Change.org members who have supported this commitment to responsible gold. This victory speaks to the power of collective consumer demand for ethically-produced goods. We expect this grassroots momentum to continue to other jewelry retailers who will pledge to follow the 'Golden Rules'.
All of us at the No Dirty Gold campaign extend our thanks to Change.org members for supporting our efforts and we re looking forward to continuing to collaborate in the months to come.

GOVERNMENT AND POLITICAL ROUNDUP: No special session to pass voter ID bill, says Gov. Walker
MADISON -- Governor Scott Walker now says he will not call the Legislature into a special session to make voters show photo I-D's by the time he stands for re-election in November. The Republican Walker said earlier he would call the session if the courts throw out his party's I-D law from 2011 -- which Federal Judge Lynn Adelman did this week. Walker says it's pretty clear that Adelman objects to the principle of the mandate, so it's best to try and appeal that decision.

LSU's final BCS hurdle
The Tigers are nearing a title game berth, and their profile is improving
If LSU Tigers fans weren't already nervous enough about their team having to play the Arkansas Razorbacks and (potentially) Georgia Bulldogs in the next two weeks, losses this weekend by three BCS top-5 teams -- the Oklahoma State Cowboys, Oregon Ducks and Oklahoma Sooners -- provided yet another reminder of how quickly the national title race can change.
The good news for the Tigers, however, is that for the first time this year their statistical profile is beginning to closely resemble those of past BCS champions.
LSU has lagged behind for most of the season in our Eliminator model (which tracks the BCS and conference champions based on statistical benchmarks set by past champs), coming up short in several key offensive categories which have proved to be critical for past title winners.
After their blowout win against the Ole Miss Rebels, however, the Tigers moved from "fail" to "pass" in the yards per play and yards per rush benchmarks. They'll have to fare well during their next two games to stay at the pace set by past BCS champions, but heading into the season's final two weeks, it's important to keep in mind that while LSU is a team that wins in large part due to its dominance on defense and special teams, it is not a team that is winning in spite of its offense.
The two-headed quarterback rotation of Jarrett Lee and Jordan Jefferson has produced a passing efficiency rating that is top-10 nationally, and the Tigers boast the nation's best turnover margin in large part due to the fact that they've given up the fewest turnovers (six) in the country (the next-best team in the SEC, the Alabama Crimson Tide, has given up 11). The yards per play and yards per rush metrics measure how efficiently a team moves the ball overall and on the ground, respectively, meaning that LSU has an offense that stacks up very well, across the board, when compared to past national champions.

E-commerce 'euphoria' to last 18 months only: Kishore Biyani, Future Group
October 30, 2014
NEW DELHI: The "euphoria" over the scorching pace of eCommerce market in India will last about 18 months as things begin to settle down and "reality" sets in, Future Group chief Kishore Biyani today said. Biyani has recently partnered with global e-tailing giant Amazon to sell its merchandise exclusively online. Known as a pioneer of Indian retail chains, Biyani had criticised Flipkart and other e-commerce firms in India for under-cutting the market and selling products at below the cost price, saying that it would hurt other retail channels.

You need to use algorithms and understand data analytics today.

I wouldn't suggest we are an ideal organization, but I think we have made the beginning towards building one" Kishore Biyani, in his autobiography It Happened in India Seven years after India's Raja of Retail penned his entrepreneurial journey — and in the process convinced his elder daughter Ashni that he wasn't writing it, as she feared, "too soon" — Kishore Biyani's "ideal organization" is still a work in progress. By 2007 — 16 years after he opened his first store to sell apparel, Pantaloons — Biyani had done enough in the retail space, and more, to earn the Raja handle.

Future Group-Amazon partnership would have been different if negotiations with Flipkart had gone well
October 14, 2014
Radhika P Nair , ET Bureau
BANGALORE: The Future Group-Amazon partnership to jointly sell goods would have been very different if Kishore Biyani's negotiations with Flipkart had gone well. Sources said Future Group wanted a fee of $10 million ( Rs 60 crore) for giving exclusive online retail rights, which Flipkart found excessive. Flipkart also wanted Future to pay it a commission for every sale, as all other merchants on its platform do . According to a person involved in the talks, there was "no warmth" between the two parties, leading to abreak-down last week after more than 20 days of negotiations.

The place was nice, fun location. Kate was helpful with questions that I had. The one downside I would say is that the bed was not that comfortable and new pillows would help.
Kate's place was perfect for me in that the place itself is nice and comfortable and located in a great location in Raval. Kate was super nice and easy to work with. I would recommend staying here, and would do so again some time.
Kate's apartment is a very pleasant place to be lived with an adorable terrace, very quiet in a building secured with intercom. It has all the necessities, the air conditioning works very well and a ventilator is available at the level of the king size bed.
It is very well situated at equal distance of 3 different subway stations
You can easily go on foot on Las Ramblas, Gothic and on the seaside
Close you have: supermarket, pharmacy, take away, terrace, bar, restaurants in a very alive district
If we return in Barcelona, we would like to rent it again
One comment : This apartment would not be adapted to persons having problems of mobility because it is necessary to use walking for the floor bring to room, for the zero level as well as for the terrace

A relievable hanger for towels and the like is disclosed which incorporates a ball having a fixed rod extending therefrom. The ball is movably captured within a socket to form a ball joint. A portion of the ball is bored out to receive therein a spring-loaded element with a rounded, blunted end. Positioning the rod upwardly to serve as a hanger for towels and the like disposes the blunted-end of the spring-loaded element over a detent within the socket. The blunted end is urged by the spring into the detent which relievably locks the rod in its upright position.
1. A ball joint relievable hanger for mounting on a wall whereupon towels and the like may be hung, comprising:
a. a body having a hemispherically-shaped depression therein, said depression having a pair of spaced detents therein;
b. a hanger element comprising a ball-shaped member with a rod fixedly attached thereto and extending therefrom, said ball-shaped member being disposed in said depression in contiguous relationship to the wall forming said depression within said body and freely movable therein, said ball-shaped member further having a passageway with a single opening thereinto facing the wall forming said depression in said body;
c. compression biasing means disposed within said passageway in said ball-shaped member of said hanger element;
d. retaining means for capturing said ball-shaped member within said depression;
e. a locking element disposed within said passageway in said ball-shaped member of said hanger and freely movable therein, one end of said locking element being disposed between said biasing means and said opening facing said depression and formed to be receivable into said detent, whereby said rod is locked into an upward position to form a hanger for towels and the like when said biasing means urges said one end of said locking element into said detent following alignment therewith and when a substantial weight is impressed upon said rod in said locked position, said locking element in said passageway within said ball-shaped member is urged into said passageway towards said biasing means and out of said detent thereby unlocking said ball-shaped member from its previously fixed position and allowing said rod to fall downwardly and permitting said substantial weight to fall freely therefrom; and
f. said detents lying along a vertical plane passing through the center of said ball-shaped member, and being equally spaced above and below said center, whereby said hanger may be installed in either of two possible installation positions.
2. The hanger of claim 1, further comprising anchoring means for securing said body to said wall about an aperture in said wall, said rod being passed through said aperture and projecting outwardly away from said wall.
3. The hanger of claim 1, wherein said compression biasing means comprises a helically-wound, wire spring.
4. The hanger of claim 1, wherein said retaining means comprises:
a. an annular disc the inside rim of which has a lip projecting outwardly therefrom towards said rod and disposed in conformal engagement with at least a portion of said ball-shaped member of said hanger element and which extends beyond said wall of said body forming said depression; and
b. means for securing said disc in relatively fixed relationship to said body.
5. The hanger of claim 1, wherein said locking element is a ball.
1. Field of the Invention:
This invention relates to improvements in self-relieving hangers for articles of clothing and the like.
2. Description of the Prior Art:
Hangers which are mountable to vertical supports such as walls for supporting the weight of articles of clothing and the like may be broadly classified as either fixed or relievable. While the fixed hangers find wide use and application in many commercial and residential installations, such are not as suitable in institutional facilities where the danger of suicide may be quite high. Persons so confined in penal and mental institutions and the like are prone to become so depressed as to attempt to terminate their lives by committing suicide. It frequently occurs that persons so confined attempt to commit suicide by hanging themselves by the use of any tensile object near at hand, as for example, a torn-up bed sheet or other similar object. The person then must seek out a suitable support structure to which such tension element may be attached, such as a clothes' hook. Such a wall-mounted fixed clothes hook is frequently capable of supporting hundreds of pounds of weight, such as the body of the person confined to the institution, and, therefore, poses a potential hazard for such would-be suicide victims.
Consequently, it is highly desirable to incorporate in the design of a clothes' hook intended for institutional use a means for permitting the hook to yield or release under an excess load. Once released, the relievable clothes' hook should allow the clothing articles and the like to fall clear of the hook or arm and as well as the hook's bracket so that none of the articles will remain hanging on the arm or bracket.
Such a device has been previously described in U.S. Patent No. 2,901,207. However, in this particular invention, the holding force is governed by the compression of fibrous frictional material. As a result, the holding force may be varied independently of the journal pin adjustment. Further, the functional characteristics may be varied by the prolonged compression of such material which tends to produce a permanent compression of such material thereby changing the value of the pre-set holding force. Additionally, the introduction of fluids, such as water, saliva, urine, and other similar fluids will generally initially reduce the frictional holding force. Thereafter, however, such fluids thereinto or thereon will oftentimes produce a swelling and expansion of the frictional material thereby increasing the holding force of the relievable hanger. This effect will, of course, be compounded should the material be heated with a match or the like.
Further, most fibrous frictional materials are combustible and would be partially or fully destroyed by the application of fire or excessive heat. Should this happen, the arm could not be set in its article-holding position.
In addition, such units which utilize a threaded journal pin for adjusting the holding force must be either riveted or peened on the end opposite to the adjusting head in oder to retain it in a fixed position so as to not disturb the pre-set holding force. Once accomplished, if readjustment is required, extensive modification to the unit is required, including removal from the vertical support to accomplish this modification.
And still further, the use of a teat to limit the upswing of the arm to maintain the arm in a position which is substantially perpendicular to the vertical support dictates that the installation of the relievable arm be only one way. If the unit should be installed upside down, the teat would then limit the down swing of the arm, thereby creating a non-relievable arm. This of course, could be used to commit suicide - exactly what the relievable hook was designed to prevent.
The present invention relates to improvements in relievable hangers for articles of clothing and the like. The hangers contemplated by this invention are those which are generally supported on the wall within a recess, and are designed to carry a predetermined load, such as presented by articles of clothing and the like, but will yield or relieve when a load in excess of this predetermined amount is placed on the hangers. In the event that such a hanger yields, the support hook or arm will turn downwardly towards a vertical position, thereby assuming a position in which the object producing the excessive loading is forced to slide off the arm. To ensure that such an object will slide off the arm, the hook or arm is of such design that once it has relieved and assumed its relieved position, it will not support any object.
It will be appreciated that such relievable hangers embodying the foregoing features are, and may be, usefully applied in many locations. Locations in which such hangers find wide usefulness and meet an important need are jail or prison cells, as well as other housing facilities created for the safe confinement of prisoners and other persons. As previously discussed, persons so confined in such institutions attempt to commit suicide by hanging themselves. Typically, under such distraught or abnormal mental aberations, such persons will attempt to make use of any tensile object at hand, such as a torn up sheet, towel, or pillowcase. Following the acquisition of such a tensile object, the person will seek out a suitable object to which the tensile object may be attached, such as a fixed, non-relievable clothes hook or the like. A non-relievable clothes hook is frequently suitable for securely supporting the entire weight of the human body.
In considering the invention in very broad terms, it can be said that my invention comprises a ball having a fixed rod forming an arm extending therefrom wherein the ball is movably captured within a socket to form a ball joint. A portion of the ball is bored out to receive therein a spring-brased element with a rounded, blunted end. A detent is provided on the inside of the socket which is adapted to receive the blunted end of the spring-biased element. When the rod fixed to the ball is positioned upwardly to serve as a hanger for towels and the like, the blunted-end of the spring-loaded element is urged into a detent thereupon relievably locking the rod in its upwardly projecting position. When a sufficiently heavy weight is impressed upon the upright rod serving as the hanger, the blunted end of the spring-biased element is forced against the spring and moves into the bored-out portion of the ball, thereby unlocking the rod from its upwardly projecting hanger position. When this occurs, the rod is relieved thereby allowing the arm to ball downwardly at an angle sufficient to permit the heavy tension element to slide off the arm and to defeat the attempt to commit suicide. In order to retain its functional utility as a clothes carrying hook the yieldable means formed by the spring-loaded element and the detent is designed to support both the hook in an outwardly projecting position and a load substantially smaller than that produced by the weight of a human, so that the device will perform its normally intended function and yet not allow the arm to support the weight of an intended suicide victim.
To accomplish this, the load at which the hook will release does not generally exceed thirty pounds. Generally, the weight of a person who might attempt to commit suicide is one hundred pounds or greater. Consequently, it is possible to separate the functional utility of a clothes supporting hook and that a wall-anchoring device capable of supporting much larger weights such as the human body, and to achieve this functional separation with reasonable assurance that the force yielding point of the hook would occur before the suicide becomes effective. To accomplish this, the restraining force normally sustaining the unloaded hook or clothing-loaded hook must be designed so that the force at which the arm relieves cannot be adjusted by the confined person so as to produce a towel hook which is capable of supporting the weight of a human for any appreciable length of time to allow a person to commit suicide.
It is a primary object of the present invention to provide a clothes hook which is mountable in a wall recess which will support the weight of such articles as clothing and the like but when he weight of a person, which generally exceeds 100 pounds, is impressed upon it, such a weight will be sufficient to cause the arm to relieve downwardly to cause the tension element, such as previously described, to slide from the arm, and thus, thwart an attempt to commit suicide.
Additionally, it is an object of the present invention to form such a releasable arm that the tensile element will not be further restrained or caught on the arm in its downwardly projecting position; such, of course, would defeat the purpose of the yielding or releasing feature.
An important feature of the present invention is to provide a convenient means of pre-setting the hook's holding force at the time of manufacture so that it cannot support the weight of a human.
A further important feature of the present invention is to provide a vandalproof relievable clothes hook.
Another important object of this invention is to provide a relievable hook which may be installed in either of the two vertical positions. Such devices found in the prior art similar to the invention, disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 2,901,207, may be installed in only one of the two possible vertical positions. If installed upside down from its normal position, the hook will not operate as a relievable hook but instead operate as a non-relievable hook.
An even further object of the present invention is to provide a relievable hanger of such design and construction which may be readily and inexpensively produced from a sheet metal die cut and formed into a ball joint socket with such few additional low-cost elements which can be easily produced by conventional shop operations.
Another purpose and object of this invention is to provide a releaseable hanger which will comply with the multitudinous safety regulations and requirements of those authorities having charge of the design and construction of penal institutions, juvenile homes, hospitals for the insane, jails, reformatories, and such facilities as those for retarded and feeble-minded persons.
Other objects and uses of the invention will appear from a detailed description of the invention, which consists in the features of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter described and claimed. Such will be more clearly understood in view of the following description when taken in conjunction with the drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a section of the present invention taken along plane 1--1 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 2 is a plan view, partially in section, of the present invention.
With continued reference to the drawings, and more particularly now to FIG. 1, it may be seen that the present invention, generally termed a relievable hanger and generally indicated at 10, comprises a ball-and-rod element, generally indicated at 11, a socket for the ball portion of the element 11 which is generally indicated at 12 and having at least one detent 26 therein, and a spring-biased locking member 14 for engagement with the detent 26.
With continued reference to FIG. 1, the ball-and-rod element 11, further comprises a ball 15 with a bore 16 therein and a rod 17. A compression spring 18 is nested within the bore 16. A locking member 14, here depicted as a ball, is positioned inside the bore 16 with the spring 18 compressionally arranged between the locking member 14 and the ball 15.
With reference now to both FIGS. 1 and 2, it may be seen that a socket 12 is formed by the combining of a sheet metal structure 21 having a hemispherical depression 22 therein and a pair of oppositely-disposed, apertured arms 23 extending outwardly from the rim 24 of the hemispherical depression 22 and a ball retaining ring 25 which is also typically formed from sheet metal. Along the inside of the hemispherical depression 22 are one or more detents 26, the purpose of which will become clear as the description progresses hereinafterwards.
The present invention is assembled by passing the ball retaining ring 25 over the rod 17 and thereafterwards engaging it with the ball 15. The function of the ball retaining ring 25 is to prevent the ball 15 from leaving the hemispherically shaped depression 22 of structure 21. The spring 18 is placed within the bore 16 of the ball 15 and engages the bottom 20 thereof. After the spring 18 is positioned within the bore 16, the ball 19 is placed over the end of the spring 18 facing outwardly towards the outside of the ball 15. The hemispherically-shaped depression 22 of the structure 21 is then positioned about the ball 15 and into abutting engagement with the flange 27 about the retaining ring 25.
Typically, the relievable hanger 10 is mounted in a vertically-disposed wall, such as indicated at 28, through an aperture 29 therein. Generally, the wall 28 is formed of stainless steel sheet metal which is typically part of a lavatory cabinet serving to house a wash basin or sink and to which a toilet bowl is secured.
To mount the relievable hanger 10 to the wall 28, the rod 17 of the ball-and-rod element 11, is passed through the aperture 29 in the wall 28. The pair of apertured arms 23 of the structure 21 are then oriented so that the apertured portions of the arms 23 are aligned with a pair of oppositely-disposed apertures 30 in the wall 28 and located on either side of the aperture 29 through which the rod 17 is passed.
Typically, the relievable hanger 10 is mounted in a vertically-disposed wall, such as indicated at 28, through an aperture 29 therein. Generally, the wall 28 is formed of stainless steel sheet metal which is typically part of a lavatory cabinet serving to house a wash basin or sink and to which a toilet bowl is secured.
To mount the relievable hanger 10 to the wall 28, the rod 17 of the ball-and-rod element 11, is passed through the aperture 29 in the wall 28. The pair of apertured arms 23 of the structure 21 are then oriented so that the apertured portions of the arms 23 are aligned with a pair of oppositely-disposed apertures 30 in the wall 28 and located on either side of the aperture 29 through which the rod 17 is passed.
A pair of headed security-type bolts 31 which do not have a screwdriver receiving, slotted portion therein or a wrench-gripping surface thereabout are passed through the apertures 30 of the wall 38 and the apertures of the arms 23. Self-locking nuts 32 are threadably engaged with the threaded shank 33 of the bolts 31 and are rotated about the threaded shank 33 until the nut 32 and the headed portion of the bolts 31 are securely abutted to the wall 28. It should be noted at this time that the nuts 32 and the threaded shanks 33 of the bolts 31 are located in an area which is inaccessible from the area wherein the rod 17 lies. Obviously, it would not be a security-type fastening arrangement if this were not so.
Referring now to FIG. 1, the relievable hanger 10 is depicted with the rod 17 in its upright position. When the rod 17 is in its upright position, the rod 17 will serve as a hanger or hook whereupon clothing or towels, or the like may be hung. As can be seen, when the ball-and-rod element 11 is oriented in this position, the compression spring 18 urges the locking member 14 (here, it is shown as a ball) into a detent 26 so that a portion of the locking member 14 resides within the detent 26 and a portion resides within the bore 16.
When a relatively large weight, say in the order of 25 pounds or more, is impressed upon the rod 17, the rod 17 is urged downwardly. The locking member 14 is, on the other hand, urged upwardly. As the locking member 14, travels upwardly, it is forced out of the detent 26 and is directed further into the bore 16 of the ball 15 as it begins to ride on the non-detented portion of the hemispherically-shaped depression 22 of the socket 12. As a result, the locking member 14 is forced against the spring 18 thereby compressing it further.
Once the locking member 14 leaves the detent 26, the rod 17 travels rapidly downward thereby allowing the weight, typically in the form of a member in tension, such as a rope or the like, to fall from the rod 17.
The rod 17 continues in its downward travel until the base portion of the rod 17 indicated at 34, engages the edge 35 of the rim 36 of the retaining ring 25.
In order to reset the relievable hanger 10, the rod 17 is manually lifted upwardly, thereby moving the locking member 14 downwardly until the locking member 14 is urged again into the detent 26, thereby relievably locking the hanger 10 in its towel hanging position.
It should be noted that two detents 26 are illustrated in FIG. 1. The second detent 26 serves exactly the same function as the other detent 26. Here, the second detent 26 is merely provided for convenience purposes only, so that the socket 12 may be functionally installed in either of its two possible installation positions.
Although the invention has been hereinbefore described and illustrated as embodied in a particular structure, other embodiments thereof will become readily apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention, whose spirit and scope shall be established by the following claims.

"In fact, we know that awareness among women has actually doubled over the past 12 years," she said. "An American Heart Association survey from 2009 showed that 48 percent of women have now discussed the issue with their physician, which is up from just 30 percent back in 1997. "
According to Cook, increased awareness often brings heart-healthy changes in women's lives. She said that when women understand the full threat of heart disease, they are 35 percent more likely to exercise and 47 percent more likely to report that they've lost excess weight, compared to women who are less aware.
Efforts such as The Heart Truth, and events such as last Friday's "National Wear Red Day" may even be saving lives, Cook noted.
"We have seen a steady decline in the number of heart disease deaths among women in the decade since 1999," she said. "So, we're making progress. But we still have a road ahead of us to improve these numbers, and to get women with a personal connection to heart disease to share their stories so that women understand that we're all in this together."
The Red Dress Collection, supported by Diet Coke and WebMD, featured a bevy of other celebrities, including actress Minka Kelly and talk show host Wendy Williams, all wearing dresses from star designers such as Oscar de la Renta, Reem Acra and Zac Posen, among others.
For the first time in its 10-year history, the show also featured a non-celebrity on the catwalk -- Cindy Parsons, a woman chosen by the show's organizers for her own success at reducing her personal risk factors for heart disease.

About This Design
Commemorating a beloved cornerstone of our culture and language four centuries since its first publication; the King James Bible.
Still praised by scholars for its majestic style and poetic rhythms, the 400th anniversary of the King James bible is celebrated on this 2011 £2 coin.
History Of The £2
The first base metal £2 coin was issued in the United Kingdom in 1986 to commemorate the Thirteenth Commonwealth Games which that year were held in Scotland. Commemorative £2 coins continued to be issued in single colour nickel-brass for special occasions. After a review of the United Kingdom coinage in 1994, it emerged that there was a requirement for a general circulation £2 coin. A consultation process took place with the vending machine industry, members of the public and special interest groups such as the RNIB and Age Concern. The consensus of opinion from the consultation favoured a bi-colour coin because it would be easily distinguishable from the other coins in circulation. The bi-metallic £2 coin was eventually launched on 15 June 1998 and millions were released into circulation.

Fifty years ago, Chattanooga possessed many in-town neighborhoods in the central city. These neighborhoods housed many of the metro area's residents before the march to Suburbia changed the city's demographic map.
One of the representative neighborhoods of the mid-20th century was called East Chattanooga. Let us take a look back at one of Chattanooga's less-remembered districts.
East Chattanooga sat at the outer edge of the central city area.
Billy Goat Hill loomed over the northern end of the neighborhood. Most residents stayed away from it because it had a bad reputation and the paved road quickly crumbled into a barely passable track. The hill now belongs to a conservancy--perhaps it will be developed as parkland in the future. (See the previous Chattanoogan article http://www.chattanoogan.com/2005/3/16/64120/Historic-Billy-Goat-Hill-To-Be-Preserved.aspx.)
This neighborhood was part of a series of tracts known as the Belt Line. The Belt Line ran along the western border of Missionary Ridge from East Lake through Ridgedale, Glenwood, Avondale, and East Chattanooga. Belt Line neighborhoods were predominantly white working-class areas whose residents worked in modest jobs around the city.
Unlike the closer neighborhoods, East Chattanooga was too far from downtown to walk. Fortunately, the area had two different bus lines that would whisk passengers toward Market Street. One line ran down Dodson Avenue past the Red Food Store, the 58 Drive-In Theater, and Hardy Junior High School. The other line ran down North Chamberlain Avenue past the Buster Brown Shoe Company factory, Children's Hospital on Glenwood Drive, and Memorial Hospital.
It was quite common for East Chattanooga residents, even young kids, to hop on the Southern Coach Lines bus and ride downtown to shop at the department stores like Miller Brothers or Loveman's, or to take in a movie at the Martin Theater (previously the State Theater) or the tastefully-named Rogers Theater. Some summer matinees aimed at the kiddie crowd served punch drinks in containers shaped like Gemini space capsules. After downtown pursuits had ended, one could quickly find a bus back to the neighborhood.
We should not over-romanticize this time and place. It was not an idyllic paradise. No one ever confused the area with Mayberry. East Chattanooga in the Sixties could be a rough-and-tumble area. School kids had their share of abuse and, yes, even fights.
The local school, East Chattanooga Elementary, did its best to educate the hordes. The principal was an old bear named F. Miller Pruette, who despite his gruffness had the entire school sing "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" at every assembly. One of the teachers, Jeannette Williams, was the wife of the former Election Commissioner Huck Williams. The school was eventually torn down. Habitat for Humanity built a large housing development on the site.
Although football was rapidly becoming the dominant sport in the Sixties, that news had not reached East Chattanooga. Baseball still held the primary interest of the East Chattanooga boys. If you look at a class photo from the elementary school in the late Sixties, you will see a few of the guys wearing their Dixie Youth Baseball uniforms promoting local businesses like Willwear Hosiery, Combustion Engineering, and Capital Motors. A long-time city employee named Jeff Hester worked long hard hours keeping the playing fields at the Recreation Center in usable shape.
East Chattanooga boasted a well-stocked shopping district in the Fifties and Sixties, more than most local neighborhoods. This area was centered on North Chamberlain Avenue and Glass Street. You could buy a dress suit at Smith's Clothing Store at 2457 Glass Street. Red Food Store was at Dodson Avenue and Crutchfield Street across from the Holsum Bakery at 2305 Dodson and American National Bank (SunTrust) at 2205 Dodson. Hamilton National Bank (First Tennessee) was at 2428 North Chamberlain at Glass Street.
Three drugstores served the area: Rexall at 3031 Dodson Avenue at Wilder Street, Sid's Pharmacy at 2505 North Chamberlain between Glass Street and Appling Street, and the B&W Pharmacy next to the Red Food Store. The veteran B&W pharmacist Pete White later spent time working at the Eckerd Drug at Northgate Mall before it closed.
A young boy might spend hours looking at toys at the Gannaway-Riley 5-and-10-cent store (the "Dime Store") at 2455 Glass Street or checking out the baseball gloves at the Western Auto at 2506 Glass Street next to Hamilton National Bank. If he needed screws or nails, he might wander into Dodd's Hardware at 2509 North Chamberlain Avenue.
If a visitor wanted a quick meal, Whitey's Grill (spelled "Whittie's" in the 1962 city directory) on Glass Street next to the new Post Office would serve Krystal-style square burgers and a cherry cola. Just up from Whitey's at the railroad track sat ABC Cleaners for clothing-prep needs.
To buy groceries without getting out of the car, a Golden Gallon drive-through store was located at 2203 Glass Street next to Brown's service station, selling Sinclair or Amoco fuel. An Esso (Exxon) gas station sat across the corner next to Vick Genter Furniture. Just south of the firehall on Dodson Avenue was a Food King (formerly By-Ryt) Supermarket affiliated with another store in Riverview.
Later in the Sixties, the Honda motorcycle sales outlet opened at 2505 North Chamberlain and Glass Street. The car customer could buy a new Datsun (Nissan) at Standefer Motors across Dodson from Hardy Junior High.
Chattanooga was often called "The Buckle of the Bible Belt," and East Chattanooga had at least its share of Evangelical churches. The most impressive building belonged to East Chattanooga Methodist on North Chamberlain, but you could find a large East Chattanooga Church of God at 2110 Glass Street across from the drive-in theater as well as East Chattanooga Baptist at 2903 Taylor Street, East Chattanooga Church of Christ at 2601 North Chamberlain, and a small Wesleyan church at 2509 Taylor Street.
If you wanted a more fundamentalist style of worship, you could head up Dodson Avenue to the outer realms of Grace Avenue just below Harrison Pike on the way to Kings Point and the dam. Grace Avenue Baptist Church at 3811 Grace Avenue offered a very fervent service with lay preachers constantly shouting about the congregation's need to repent of its sins and "get saved." Anyone who grew up in that style of worship will never forget it.
Heading out Harrison Pike, one would come upon another unique landmark. Many East Chattanoogans quenched their thirst at the Watering Trough at least occasionally. During a water contamination episode in the later Seventies, city police had to direct traffic at the Trough because so many people used it for emergency water. The Trough is now posted against drinking, but in its day, it tasted better than city water. It still runs, even if no longer drunk.
The intervening years have not been kind to East Chattanooga. Much of the old business district has been razed. Almost all of the old businesses are gone. Various groups have tried to revitalize East Chattanooga with limited success.
Let us hope that future efforts will take root and help turn the area around. It was once a good neighborhood, and one day maybe it will be again.

Jodi was a pure pleasure to have as a guest. She was open, communicative, sweet - even left me a little gift. My condo was left in excellent condition, and it was clear that she had kept it tidy during her stay as well as neatening up when she left. Jodi, you are welcome back at Downtown Oasis anytime!!

Working for their wings: Training program brings aviation lessons to students

Of course, they didn't actually each fly a Cessna 172. But in a small classroom at Red River High School, students have gotten a taste of what it's like to fly around the United States.

Faster Speeds and Better Connectivity Coming to Delta Flights
Good news for those who enjoy a little up in the air connectivity—like all travelers everywhere—as Delta is investing some funds into updating and improving their in-flight WiFi.
New technology should allow for in-flight WiFi to and from spots across the Caribbean as well as Latin America, so now there will be no need to logoff while on the way to a little sun and sand. It's all because Delta—and their buddies at Gogo—are switching from an air-to-ground connectivity system to one based more on satellites.

United Begins To Flip The Switch On Regional Jet WiFi
Wow—it's been years and years since United first put WiFi on a muthafunking plane, but now that it's 2015, United is finally set to offer WiFI on their regional jet fleet. The cramped legroom and claustrophobic conditions will feel less so, as you'll be tweeting, streaming, and posting from here to there.
Aircraft like the E170, E175, and CRJ700 will be heading into the hangar, as Gogo InFlight's ATG-4 advanced air-to-ground is to be installed, hopefully by summer. Not only can travelers expect the usual WiFi offerings, but these planes—thankfully—will also score a slice of what United calls their "Personal Device Entertainment" giving access to movies, television, and other goodies right from your own mobile screen.

You are a little braver—and maybe daring—than we are, as for the most part we will be staying put during the madness that is the Thanksgiving travel week. However, if you're planning to be on the move this week there's a few travel tech goodies that might just help the journey go that much more smoothly—or at least a little better.
The folks over at Verizon are getting into the holiday season, and by doing so they are giving away some stuff. It's all part of a new holiday that they have basically made up, as apparently now the day before Thanksgiving will be known as Connection Day.

Airline Exec Says Free In-Flight WiFi Will Become Standard
We've been following the development of in-flight Wifi since its initial takeoff, but most recently, we've been focused on airlines that have begun to roll out free Wifi. JetBlue was the first American carrier to make the leap, and just a month ago Nok Air became Asia's first airline to let passengers surf the Web for free.
Last week, Dubai based Emirates entered the discussion. The airline's President Tim Clark said that free Wifi is something we will eventually see become standard throughout the global airline industry, as it is definitely a service that customers want. In response, Emirates has been spending about $20 million a year on the installation and operation of in-flight connectivity, he said.

How Much Does In-Flight and On-Track WiFi Cost These Days?
Did you know that today, October 29, is National Cat Day? Well it's also International Internet Day, which is a perfect coincidence if we don't say so ourselves. On this day in 1969, the first electronic message was sent over ARPANET. It's this network that developed into the internet we know and use today, no matter where we are traveling in the world.
It was Gogo who reminded us of this fact via an Instagram, and it got us thinking. What are today's prices for the miracle of WiFi connectivity, when we aren't sitting on the couch but on the move?

Short Flights on Small Planes Won't Be Left Off United's In-Flight WiFi Plan
Good news for United flyers, as the airline is bringing its WiFi capabilities to even more planes. Now the cramped legroom and narrow cabins of all those United Express regional jets will be slightly improved, since they're next to have the switch flipped on in-flight WiFi.
Installations will start sooner rather than later, and the fleet is expected to be finished at some point next summer. All in all they're looking to install the wires, cables, and antennas on over 200 planes. WiFi of course will be a great option, but the up in the air connectivity should also work for their snazzy streaming service too—check out our thoughts on that.

A Review of United's BYO-Device Entertainment, Still in Beta Testing
Just about a year ago, Virgin Australia launched their cool new wireless BYO-device entertainment system. It was thought that this would be the wave of the future, as more travelers armed themselves with iPads.
Now we're excited to announce United has begun testing a similar system on this side of the Pacific. On a recent flight from Chicago to Fort Lauderdale, we were lucky to score a plane equipped with beta-test of this technology.
As a regular passenger, we received an email from United two days before departure, with the info that we'd be on a plane with this system. The email was similar to their webpage explanation, and it detailed how we could trial the entertainment choices by streaming them to our own iPad, iPhone, or laptop. By simply downloading the free application from the Apple App store, we would be able to enjoy hours of movies and television shows from gate to gate.

Onboard and Online: A First Test of Nok Air's New, Free In-Flight WiFi
Never heard of Nok Air? You're about toa lotas the low-cost, Thailand-based airline embraces innovation to soar beyond other airlines, while still keeping ticket prices low and flights fun. We've even flown 'em, but this time around we dispatched special correspondent Kinny Cheng to check out their latest news: the arrival of free in-flight WiFi.
A lover of spectacles, Patee Sarasin, the outspoken CEO of Nok Air, stood and addressed the room overflowing with journalists. His big announcement would mark a first in Asia, and certainly a revolutionary development for Nok, which describes itself as "Thailand's homegrown premium low-cost airline."
That announcement? Free In-Flight WiFi. Not only would Nok be the first in Asia, but they'd join a precious few carriers (like JetBlue and Norwegian Air) willing to let their passengers surf the net for free at altitude.

WiFi is scheduled to arrive is set to arrive at Nok Air sooner than later, and it sounds like Thaicom are the folks behind the in-flight Ku-band technology. Installations are moving quickly, and the system could be up and running as soon as this July or August. The plans are to start with six planes as soon as possible, and after that they'll move into installations for 30 more.

Plans Finally in Place for Speedy In-Flight WiFi in Europe
We've been enjoying the wonders of in-flight WiFi for a few years now, but unfortunately those travelers doing their thing in the skies above Europe have not had the same pleasure. Thankfully it looks like things are about to change, as there are plans to flip the switch on some new—and speedy—in-flight connectivity across the pond.
Inmarsat is the company behind the new travel technology, and it sounds like their aiming to have things up and running by the end of 2016. Connections will have speeds in the 4G range, so things should be improved when compared to what we have here at home. All in all setting up the network should cost around $550 million, and that includes new satellites, new towers, and other bits and pieces related to the transmission process.

I just listened in to the Stifel presentation. CEO presented today. It was a very good presentation regarding the lawsuit and PA. I wish he would have spent more time talking about how undervalued the stock is at 2.75. I am more optimistic about PA doing well once it's launched, compared to Vimovo. It seems that some of the headwinds on Vimovo is based on price. PA on the other hand won't be priced so high, about $1 compared to $.60 for buying individually. I've got to think that vast majority of doctors will prescribe PA vs separately. It's a pretty big market potential. I'd say they can achieve $250M per year in revs.
I'm looking forward to the heart conference in Nov for that data and he said top line data on the PA swtudies by Q2. I think the lower amount of immediate release omeprazole rather than an enteric coating is attractive but I thought he previously said that they are now looking into the PPI's affect on the heart similar to PERVACID's affect on PLAVIX
