Businessman had borrowed Rs. 5 lakh but had paid 10 times as much in interest, says family
A 50-year-old businessman was murdered by a money-lending gang near Kumaran Nagar on Saturday night. He was killed with an iron rod.
According to police, the victim, Veerappan, ran an electric circuit manufacturing unit in Guindy. A few years ago, he had taken a loan of Rs. 5 lakh from Marimuthu, a man who lent money at exorbitant interest rates. Veerappan had needed the money for his business.
However, police said that according to his family, over the years, Veerappan had paid Rs. 50 lakh in interest alone. This apart, the family told police that the money-lender and his gang had taken away a document for property worth Rs. 80 lakh from Veerappan and had used it to threaten him into paying more money.
Fed up with all of this, Veerappan filed a complaint with the Saidapet police. This angered Marimuthu who then decided to murder Veerappan. On Saturday night, Veerappan was headed to a relative's house in Sekar Nagar near Kumaran Nagar, when Marimuthu and his gang intercepted him.
An argument broke out and the gang hit Veerappan on the head with an iron rod. He died on the spot.
Four of Marimuthu's gang members — Anand (30), Jagan (29), Murthy (35) and Arun (20) have been arrested. The police are on the lookout for Marimuthu and one other accomplice.

Top Stories In The Thames Valley
The top news stories in Oxfordshire, Berkshire and North Hampshire.
It's the last day to have your say on the future of libraries in Oxfordshire.
Oxfordshire County Council originally planned to close more than half of their libraries to save money - but now say they could ALL stay open with the help of volunteers.
The proposal
The proposal to be put forward is that the council will guarantee all 43 libraries will continue to receive support in the form of free access to a suitable building, to book stock; to the library stock management system and the expertise of county council employed library staff.
22 of those libraries would remain fully staffed by county council employed library staff as at present. There would be use of volunteers in other libraries.
Councillor Keith Mitchell, the Leader of Oxfordshire County Council said: "Let me be clear, we enter this consultation from a starting point of keeping all 43 libraries open despite the fact that there is less money to spend. Local communities can help us to achieve that outcome."
"I'm looking ahead to beginning positive discussions with communities on the way forward. We've moved forward enormously since late 2010 and our initial thoughts on how savings in libraries could be achieved. Essentially, we are meeting communities half-way by acknowledging feedback we have received against a context that we still need to make financial savings."
How would it affect your service?
The consultation document contains reference to a key 'needs-analysis' undertaken by the council based on where people live, work, study and shop in Oxfordshire. Travel and transport accessibility (including for vulnerable groups) and existing demand from current users has also been taken in to consideration.
Based on this analysis, the following 22 libraries make up those that would meet the council's statutory requirement to provide a comprehensive and efficient network of libraries and would remain fully staffed.
Abingdon, Banbury, Berinsfield, Bicester, Blackbird Leys, Botley, Carterton, Chipping Norton, Cowley, Didcot, Eynsham, Headington, Henley, Kidlington, Littlemore, Neithrop,Oxford Central, Summertown, Thame, Wallingford, Wantage, Witney.
The council would welcome volunteers to supplement these fully staffed libraries - potentially allowing libraries to extend their opening hours.
In addition the county council would like to provide significant levels of staffing to a further five libraries - with a small element of volunteering planned. These libraries are Chinnor, Faringdon, Grove, Wheatley and Woodstock.
There would also be a positive future for the county's 16 other libraries - as a result of free access to a suitable building, to the county's book stock and to the library stock management system.
The staffing emphasis in these libraries would shift from county council staff to volunteers in a phased way over a three year period - however support from county council employed operational and professional librarians would continue.
These libraries would be Adderbury, Bampton, Benson, Burford, Charlbury, Deddington, Goring, Hook Norton, Kennington, North Leigh, Old Marston, Sonning Common, Stonesfield, Watlington, Woodcote and Wychwood.
The council won't be making a final decision until the end of the year with any change being phased in over a three-year period.

Granite overhanging undermount tub
Our granite fabricator wants the lip of the granite slab surrounding our undermount tub to slightly hang over the tub edge. He says that it will help splashed up water to fall back into the tub. Otherwise, he says water will sit on the tub lip, slide back, and get past the layer of silicon bead waterproofing on the underside of the granite. He is concerned with making sure water doesn't get to the framing and plywood supports under the tub.
However, our tub has factory installed grab bars on each side by the molded arm rests. The bars only protrude 1 1/4" from the inside tub wall. It's already a bit dicey to grab the bar without our knuckles hitting against the tub wall. A granite overhang will eat up another 1/4" of that space (or more, if the fabricator doesn't watch his measurements all the way around the tub opening).
We'd much rather the fabricator back the granite away from the edge of the tub. Ideally, we'd like about an inch of the white tub lip to show all the way around (with the granite edge following the shape of the tub).
Are we fools?
Link to photo of the tub: http://www.tubz.com/americh-madison-6032-tub.htm
Please show your granite fabricator the linked manufacturer undermount installation instructions (Figure 6, page 3) which show a slight tub reveal and no overhang.
Here is a link that might be useful: Instructions
I love how you took the time to look up this information off the Americh website, Trebruchet ! I have printed this out to show the fabricator and my contractor.
I'm seeing a LOT of photos of undermount tubs on Houzz where the lip is showing all the way around. I wouldn't think so many designers and contractors would install this way if there was significant concern about water getting under the slab and dripping onto the framing/plywood.
I've saved those photos to show my contractor when they come to template the granite...
You're welcome.
The nice thing about this is it switches them from arguing with you to arguing with the tub manufacturer. You can tell them this isn't your opinion, it's the opinion of the guy who made the tub.
I deviate from manufacturer's instructions very carefully and only with excellent reasons. They better come up with something better than they have so far.
Just an update that the granite has been installed to our specifications (backed off the lip of the tub about an inch all the way around, following the tub shape). The fabricator was reluctant, but pleasant about it. I let him say his piece and assured him that while I valued his input, we really wanted to use the grab bars without banging our knuckles against an overhanging granite lip. It all looks fabulous! :)

As an avid point-and-click adventure game fan, I thought I would enjoy "Moebius: EmpireSave your $$ and to choose another game to buy.
As an avid point-and-click adventure game fan, I thought I would enjoy "Moebius: Empire Rising." Unfortunately, the story is tiresome and the lack of interactive hotspots is extremely disappointing.
Where this game really fails, however, is in the technical execution. The 3D graphics and animation are some of the worst you will see in a new commercial title. This is a terrible shame, as it nearly kills the experience, and the shoddy 3D work clashes with the well-done backdrops. As others have said, the character movements are wacky and very slow; you will be screaming at the character to walk faster after playing for 20 minutes, if you are patient enough to last that long.
I don't know where Jane Jensen found this terrible Phoenix Online Studios developer or if this was the only option she had with her budget (although backers on Kickstarter DID give Jensen hundreds of thousands of dollars to make this game, and other developers have been able to do MUCH better with that much money), but I can't help but think that this game could have been salvaged by a developer able to produce work above an amateurish level.
If you are a Jane Jensen fan, you will probably be demanding that any games from her in the future be done with a different, better developer. If you aren't a Jane Jensen fan, "Moebius" won't turn you into one.… Full Review »
Apr 15, 2014This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. I'll give everyone a fair spoiler warning before i begin...
I'm really disappointed with this game as a fan of Jane Jensen's previous work. Having played her excellently written Gabriel Knight series I came in to this game expecting a similar level of script writing but was surprisingly disappointed. Having been a backer on Kickstarter and playing one of the chapter as a preview, I agreed with others who made comments very early on stating that there were major fixes required for the animation which seemed to have gone completely unheard by the production staff. Walking animations and Malachi's strange standing pose as well as the fact that he seems to have boulder shoulder syndrome. Other things of note were subtle hand movements weren't paid any attention, most notably in one cutscene where a man climbs a ladder while seemingly not grabbing any of the rungs and instead appearing to become some kind of spider-like creature crawling up the ladder.
The written dialogue as well as the way in which the lines were delivered were very stilted from some of the characters, namely by Malachi himself. The fact that the 'interact' icon appears on a lot of items which cannot be interacted with until you have done something first is frustrating and looks sloppy as surely there could have been a way to hide that icon prior to the option being available? That would have saved a lot of hassles to be honest.
The story is bizarre. I mean hey, as I mentioned before I LOVED Jane's older works, played all 3 GK games and had shivers with the way Tim Currie delivered his lines especially the famous "what can you tell me about voodoo?" but here we have a very wooden delivery of a discussion about the possibility of history repeating in people? That is ridiculous. I love a good fantasy story or something that stretches the imagination but this just seems really lazy.
I was really looking forward to this game. I played the first chapter when it was released to backers as a beta test and was disappointed but was glad to see some changes were being made... but overall I am still very disappointed and kind of sad to see that in comparison to other Adventure, Point and Click games being released at the moment via Kickstarter, this is probably the lowest in quality.… Full Review »
Apr 16, 2014Unfortunately this game gets nowhere near the Gabriel Knight series and is a mediocre Adventure Game at best. Character animations are veryUnfortunately this game gets nowhere near the Gabriel Knight series and is a mediocre Adventure Game at best. Character animations are very wobbly and look unnatural (+arms frequently clip into bodies), actually interactive items are rare for a game from this genre and the puzzles... I just don't know. Most items can't even be picked up before the character 'knows' he needs them which I always find frustrating (f.e. a bottle of motor oil certainly could prove useful in the future, damnit) as it leads to needless walking back and forth between scenes as a fetchquest. Thats not stimulating to me. Analysing people as well as objects Sherlock-Style (the main character is a -very- logical person) could have been interesting but the execution falls flat once more as - at least with people - it all comes back down to clichés and guesswork as the player receives 3 possible options per noticed thing (one often being rather nonsensical though, so lets say 2 options). Comparing modern-day people to people in history is interesting as well but ultimately boils down to just counting how many datapoints match up - which, really, is not very engaging either after a few times even as the player learns more about historical figures.

Salvia madrensis
Having just returned from a vacation in California, I am so jealous to have seen a wonderful flowering specimen of S. madrensis at Cabrillo College. For years I have grown this architecturally splendid Salvia. Flower buds appear in the UK late September,only to be destroyed by the first frost, usually mid-October, when the plant is too large to bring under glass! Grrr!
In fact, just about every Salvia at Cabrillo was stunning. With differing climates, there are some Salvias that perform better in England, but there are many more that are superior in California. A prime example is S. 'Phyllis' Fancy'. My plants are good, started to flower a month ago, but those in California are to die for!
Stunning Salvias in the UK currently are S. gilliesii, S. sagittata, S. semiatrata, S. splendens(huge species), S. concolor, all the involucratas and guaraniticas, S. oxyphora, S. darcyi, and many others. All the greggii/microphylla types are even better than in early spring.
The unusually warm and moist Autumn has encouraged monstrous growth on the winter-flowering species which I have to remove to frost-free conditions under glass in the next 3 weeks. Help! I don't have enough space!
Regards, Robin.
You're jealous? I'm jealous of: your trip, the under glass place you speak of, your enormous collection & Annette's wonderful sunny tropics! Fall is here & I don't know how my ever growing frost tender collection will fit in the garage or living room(full sun exposure).
Is it a sin to covet everyone else's Salvias? If so I'm in big trouble! ;-p
It is a real shame those of us in colder climates can't enjoy this plant. My wife and I make a special trip to Longwood Gardens during their mum festival partly because they have dozens of perfectly huge madrensis in their conseratory - at least for the past few years they have. I spend the rest of the year trying to forget just how fantastic they are. To make things worse, several companies have been offering a red stemmed cultivar called Red Neck Girl. That one has my fingers itching.
It is nearly 2 years since I wrote about Salvia madrensis. Last year I did see flowers for 2 weeks in mid-October, then it got frosted. Imagine my surprise and delight to discover flowers on the 28th August this year, 2007. Don't know why, as we had summer in April, and cool, very wet, and cloudy conditions since. I deliberately planted it in the sunniest possible area, and it has thrived.
Many other species, guaranitica, involucrata, Phyllis Fancy, splendens, have loved the cold, wet weather, whereas some species, especially those from Turkey and the Middle East have drowned. The Chinese species have been great, except for castanea which refused to flower.
Best regards, Robin.
One of the great pleasures of salvias is that every year is different even if the basic plants are the same. It has been very hot and dry here this summer and that same batch of sages you mention as having thrived have done poorly for me. That big pink splendens which you clued me into is just now recovering from all the heat and may actually be OK by mid month. The guaranticas with regular watering came through alright except for the Van Remsen, which was well beyond that, a 7 foot stunner. The involucratas have yet to bloom at all and some hardly bothered to grow. I'm wondering whether to just stick with Mulberry Jam which has been blooming very well since July and has topped five feet. Probably not, since involucrata has its own special qualities that I would miss. This has been the year of the bush sages. Of the 10 or so Richard sent me microphylla Orange Door has been the most impressive. It nearly as strong a grower as neurepia and for some unknown reason is loved by every woman that sees it.

ABC News' Eloise Harper Reports: Out of towners are rushing to see the Clinton's first home in Fayetteville, Arkansas — now that former first lady Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y has entered the 2008 presidential race.
"More and more people are so interested in seeing Hillary and where she grew up," said Brittany Starr, director of the Clinton Museum House.
The house has become a hot spot in the small town where the couple lived for a year and half while former President Bill Clinton taught at the University of Arkansas.
The Clintons were married in the house which features a replica of the New York senator's wedding gown. Visitors can also view commercials that played for Bill Clinton's congressional and gubernatorial races. And, of course, Hillary Clinton presidential paraphernalia is now on display.
The Museum reports a whopping 283 percent increase in attendance since the second Clinton threw her hat into the 2008 Democratic derby, and reporting $3,500 a month up from $1,000 a month on average last year.
"People are wanting to know about Hillary," said Starr.
Profits are currently directed to the City of Fayetteville but museum administrators are trying to direct the new flow of cash to a non-profit. According to the Museum, thirty-five percent of visitors come from Arkansas and the rest are people flowing in from across the United States and around the world.

Scott in MT
The materials are pretty good, and the fit is alright. There are large gaps where the door closes near the latch. The hardware supplied for mounting the doors to the frame are adequate at best. It is a good product for the price, though it could be better. They will keep the wind and rain out, but I really doubt it will be of much use in the winter. I do recommend them if you are carrying passengers.Read All Reviews

How To Make Paneer Cheese in 30 Minutes
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
Paneer is the star ingredient in some of my most favorite Indian dishes — and probably yours too! I often find myself scooping just one more nibble of chewy, milky-tasting paneer from the dish long after I'm officially full. Sure, you can buy this firm cheese at the store to make your own homemade curries, but where's the fun in that?! If you have a pot, a strainer, and some cheesecloth, you can have fresh homemade paneer cheese in about 30 minutes.

How To Make a Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
A grilled cheese sandwich should never let you down. It should be crispy and toasted on the outside and gooey with cheese in the middle. It should hold together with integrity whether you're nibbling at the corners or dunking it into tomato soup. If it doesn't immediately make you relax a little farther in your chair, then it's not doing its job.
The perfect grilled cheese sandwich is a pursuit that has consumed many of us. Here is our contribution to the quest.

The Best Way to Quickly Bring Cold Cheese to Room Temperature
The Cheesemonger
It's pretty well-understood now that cheese at room temperature equals happy cheese. Held at that frigid, refrigerator temperature, cheese is left paralyzed at a flavor standstill, but with a little warmth, fat and protein molecules loosen up a bit.
But how oh how to emulate cheese that's been treated to room temperature for the suggested hour before eating, if you haven't succeeded in anticipating properly? Or what to do if you pick up a wedge on a way to a friend's house and have no time for it to relax into a more tepid temp?
One quick trick will turn this challenge into a triumph.

Why Triple Cream Cheeses Are Less Fattening Than You Think
The Cheesemonger
For those of you who shy away from the triple-crèmes and rich buttery numbers of the cheese world, now may be appropriate timing for a bit of cheese info. Despite their names, denoting double- and triple- contents of cream and butterfat, these cheese specimens may not be as fattening as you think.

Need to treat my wood mantle
Hello Everyone. This is a cross post. I posted in the woodworking forum and in 4 days I have received not one answer. I am hoping that someone here can help me out.
I have a great old hunk of wood for a mantel. It is just a straight piece of wood about 4" thick that sits on brick supports that protrude from the wall. My hubby thinks it is either walnut or mahogany. It is in serious need of a coating of something. When it is wet (say from dusting with a damp cloth), it is beautiful. However it dries quickly to a dull boring piece of wood.
Normally I would put tongue oil on it or polyurethane and call it a day. But about 5 " from the front of this mantle sits our very large (5 1/2' tall) base burner coal stove which is our only source of heat in the winter, so it burns very hot all winter long.
I want to treat it with something to bring back out the natural beauty of the wood, but I am not sure what with because of this constant heat exposure.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Not sure what can withstand that heat, but be sure to use a PENETRATING kind of finish. DO NOT USE poly or lacquer - those just sit on top and your exciting hunk of wood will just be dull and boring.
Oils, such as tung or linseed, and Shellac will give you the best finish. They can also be top coated with that mystery heat resistant finish (though the heat will affect them.)
Maybe change the position of the mantle - or dont coat the bottom - best of luck.
Thank you both for answering. I was beginning to think no one would.
I did finally get an answer from my other post and someone suggested using danish oil or tongue, which is along the lines of using an oil that would soak in and not top coat to bubble up as old_house suggested. I did buy some, but haven't had a chance to pull the mantle down and work on it yet (hopefully this weekend).
I will try it and if it all fails we get a new piece of wood to use as a mantle. I was just trying to save this one as it s a nice looking piece of wood, but it does have a bit of warp in the back, so if I loose it the world will not end.
mxyplx, there is absolutely no room for any type of shield. We have a huge stove in the front of the mantle. It is not under the mantle it is actually in the front standing above the mantle. It is an old base burner coal stove which stands 5 1/2' tall. The part that is about 5" from the mantle is the hopper so it is not the "burning" part of the stove and does not get nearly as hot as the lower part of the stove, but it is still made of metal so the heat transfers up the stove and radiates outward. It is more of a slow baking heat rather than an intense need to block it heat. I have just learned from re-doing projects around here more than once, it is better to ask the good folks here at GW if I am in doubt, get some good advice, and decrease my chances of re-doing the same project twice in the future because I choose my materials wrong the first time.
Thanks again for the advice.

Obama 'Fit For Duty,' But Smoking Still A Problem
Transforming the nation's health care system is apparently easy compared with giving up cigarettes.
The results of President Obama's first annual physical, released Sunday, suggest he's still lighting up. The evidence is oblique but clear. White House doctor Jeffrey Kuhlman writes Obama should "continue smoking cessation efforts." The president's list of meds also includes nicotine gum, when he needs it.
While the president was declared "fit for duty," he does need to clean up his diet. His total cholesterol is 209, on the borderline for trouble. His LDL, or bad cholesterol, is 138, and the doctor wants him to get that below 130. No drugs needed, for now, instead the doctor recommends eating better.
At Obama's last physical in July 2008, his cholesterol stood at 173, with his bad cholesterol at 96 and his good cholesterol at 68, the Associated Press reported.
What else do we know about Obama's health? Well, his lungs sounded good. His vision is fine, though there's a hint of nearsightedness, something that's not exactly unusual for a 48 year old. He's also got some pain in his left knee. Occasionally, he takes mild painkillers, of the type that include ibuprofen, after physical activity.
If you're interested in the summary from Obama's doctor, you can read it here.

ALBUQUERQUE— Lost in the partisan bickering of the New Mexico Legislature's final moments was a measure aimed at helping residents with severe mental illness who refuse needed treatment.
Because lawmakers failed to pass the bill, New Mexico remains one of only a handful of states without a "Kendra's Law."
That law would have allowed judges in some counties to order patients to take medication and undergo treatment if they are deemed a danger to themselves and their community.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
Nov. 12, 1963 J. H. MOGULESCU ADJUSTABLE DISPLAY RACK Filed March 29, 1961 1 BY 2 ATTORNEY United States Patent Office 3,1 ,462 Patented Nov. 12, 1963 3,110,402 ADJUSTABLE DISPLAY RACK Jack H. Mogulescn, New York, N.Y., assignor to Consolidated Cigar Corporation, New York, N.Y., a corporation of Delaware Filed Mar. 29, 1961, Ser. No. 99,184 1 Claim. (Cl. 211-4?) The present invention relates generally to improvements in display and dispening devices, and it relates in particular to an improved collapsible, adjustable, display and dispensing rack.
Dispensing racks for packages or the like, of the type wherein a row of packages are forwardly advanced by a spring-urged follower or pusher upon the removal of the leading package, are commonly employed. While these possess many advantages in that they attractively display the packages being dispensed and are highly convenient to use, those heretofore employed possess numerous drawbacks. They are relatively rigid inflexible structures of a bulky nature and are thus difficult and inconvenient to ship and store. Moreover, they possess a further drawback in that they lack versatility, and are suited only for packages of predetermined size. For the above and other reasons, the conventional spring-follower advanced package display and dispensing rack leaves much to be desired.
It is, therefore, a principal object of the present invention to provide an improved display and dispensing device.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved display and dispensing rack of the type wherein one or more rows of packages are forwardly advanced by spring-influenced followers or pusher members upon the removal of a package from a corresponding row.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide an improved package display and dispensing rack which may be easily and rapidly assembled and erected or disassembled and collapsed to facilitate the storing, packaging and shipping thereof.
A further object of the present invention is to provide an improved package display and dispensing rack which is adjustable quickly and easily to accommodate packages of different sizes and configurations.
Still a further object of the present invention is to provide an improved package display and dispensing rack of the above nature characterized by its simplicity, ruggedness, ease of operation and low cost.
The above and other objects of the present invention will in part be specifically pointed out and in part will become apparent from a reading of the following description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein FIGURE 1 is a front perspective view of a display and dispensing rack embodying the present invention and illustrated in a partially disassembled condition;
FIGURE 2 is a fragmentary sectional view taken along line 2-2 in FIGURE 1; and
FIGURE 3 is an enlarged detailed fragmentary exploded perspective view of the front corner of the rack assembly.
In a sense, the present invention contemplates the provision of an improved collapsible display and dispensing rack comprising a pair of transversely-spaced parallel, longitudinally-extending, mounting bars having longitudinally spaced socket-defining openings formed in the top face thereof, a plurality of longitudinally-spaced parallel, removable partition members extending between and disposed above said bars, each of said partition members including a pair of depending legs releasably engaging a transversely aligned pair of said sockets, a transversely-extending base member disposed between adjacent pairs of partition members and including depend- 2 ing legs releasably engaging opposite sockets in said pair of bars, front and rear stop members disposed at opposite ends of said base member, a pusher member located above and slidable along the length of said base member, and spring means urging said pusher member toward said front stop member.
According to a preferred form of the present invention, there is provided a rectangular support frame including transversely-spaced longitudinally-extending front and rear frame members, the mounting bars having deep longitudinally extending grooves formed in their underfaces and engaging the front and rear frame members by which they are supported. The partition members are formed of single lenghs of wire and each includes an upper trans verse bar terminating in integrally formed depending legs. The stop members are of substantially inverted U-shaped configuration, the legs engaging corresponding pairs of sockets, and each base is defined by a pair of rods extending transversely between the legs of corresponding pairs of stop members and secured thereto at points above their bottom ends. Likewise formed of wire are the guide rods which are located between the base rods, the pusher member being defined by a vertical plate having bottom recesses registering with the base and guide rods. The pusher springs are helical compression springs resting on the base rods and encirciing the guide rods and are entrapped between the rear stop members and the pusher members. The rack assembly may rest on a counter top or on vertically spaced horizontal or inclined shelves or side tracks, or may be secured to side legs to form a column of vertically superpositioned racks if so desired.
Referring now to the drawing, which illustrates a preferred embodiment of the present invention, reference numeral 11 designates generally the improved display and dispensing rack which includes a support frame 11 of rectangular configuration formed preferably of a band of any suitable metal. Support frame 11 consists of transversely-spaced longitudinally-extending parallel front and back frame members, as 12, connected at their ends by transversely extending side members, as 13, which latter project rearwardly of the back from member 12 to facilitate the mounting and support of the frame member. It is to be noted that the frame member 11 may be individually employed with a single rack assembly, or that a plurality of the frame members 11 may be associated in any desired arrangement, as earlier set forth, and to accommodate thereby a correspond number of racks.
Resting on and associated with each of front and rear frame members 12 is a longitudinally extending mounting bar 14 of rectangular transverse crosssection and formed of metal such as, for example, aluminum or of wood, plastic or other suitable sutficiently rigid material. Extending along the length and in the underface of each of mounting bars 14 is a deep, narrow, transversely-offset groove 16 which tightly releasably registers with a corresponding frame member 12. The Width of groove 16 is slightly greater than the thickness of frame member 12, and the length of the mounting bar 14 is approximately that of the frame member 11. Formed in the top face of each mounting bar 14, along a line transversely spaced relative to groove 16, are a plurality of regularly, longitudinally-spaced socket-defining vertical wells or bores 17, sockets 17 in the front and rear bars 14 being in transverse alignment thereby to define corresponding socket pairs.
Dividing rack 113 into adjacent successively transverselyextending rows or compartments are a plurality of partition members 18, each of which is suitably formed of a single length of wire and includes a transversely extending linear upper member 19 terminating in depending vertical legs 21'). The lower ends of each leg 20 of the partition member 18 register with a selected, transverse pair of sockets 17, the diameter of the sockets 17 and of the partition wire being such as to effect a snug releasable mutual engagement, so that the partitions 18 are firmly supported in vertical positions. The spacing between successive partition members 18 is adjustable in accordance with the registering sockets 17 and is such as to best accommodate the particularly dimensioned packages being dispensed.
A stop-carrying base member 21 is supported by bars 12 between successive partition members 18 and is likewise formed of wire and includes a pair of front and rear inverted U-shaped stop members 22 defined by upper longitudinal bridge sections 23 and depending legs 24. The lower ends of legs 24 of the stop members releasably engage respective pairs of sockets 17. Extending between and suitably afiixed to the transversely-aligned legs 24 of each front and rear pair of stop members 22 are parallel coplanar pairs of base defining rods 26, the length of the legs 24 projecting below the rods being substantially about the depth of sockets 17, so that base rods 26 are positioned at about the level of the upper faces of mounting bars 14. A transversely extending wire guide rod 27 is located between and at the level of each pair of base rods 26 and terminates in depending stub legs 28 releasably engaging a pair of sockets 17 between the sockets engaged by the corresponding stop members 22.
A follower or pusher plate 29 is vertically disposed and located between successive partition members 18. Pusher plate 29 extends longitudinally and is of rectangular configuration. It has formed in its bottom edge notches or recesses 25 which register with the rods 26 and 27, whereby the pusher plates 29 are transversely movable. Each pusher plate 29 is resiliently urged forwardly toward the front stop member 22 by a helical compression spring 30 encircling the guide rod 27, resting on the base rods 26, and entrapped between the rear stop member 22 and the rearwardly directed face of the pusher plates 29.
The assembly of the improved dispensing and display rack described above is effected by resting the mounting bars 14 on the frame members 12 which register with the grooves 16 therein. The partition member legs 20 are inserted in selected sockets 17 to divide the rack into a number of compartments of the desired width, and then base-carrying stop member legs 24 are inserted into sockets 17 located between the successive partitions 18. The guide rods 27 are inserted through the helical springs 30 and the legs 28 thereof are-inserted into sockets 17 between pairs thereof engaged by the respective stop members 22, the spring 30 resting on base rods 26. The pusher plates 29 are then positioned between the leading ends of the springs 30 and the front stop members 22 with the recesses 25 engaging the rods 26 and 27. In use, the pusher plates 29 are retracted against the influence of the respective springs 30 and a row of packages inserted in each of the compartments between the corresponding pusher plate 29 and the front stop member 22. As the leadingpackage is removed from a compartment, the row of packages is advanced by the spring-urged pusher plate 29 until the next leading package abuts the front stop member 22. The rack may be easily collapsed merely by separating the various components, primarily by disengaging the various leg members from the sockets 17 thereby facilitating the storingand shipping of the rack. The simple adjustment of the rack is obvious from the above.
While there has been described and illustrated a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is apparent that numerous alterations, omissions and additions may be made without departing from the spirit thereof.
What is claimed is:
A collapsible display and dispensing rack comprising a rectangular support frame having front and rear longitudinally extending frame members, a pair of transverselyspaced, parallel, longitudinally-extending mounting bars, each having a plurality of regularly longitudinally-spaced upwardly directed socket-defining apertures formed in the top face thereof and a longitudinally extending groove formed in the underface thereof and engaging a corresponding of said frame members, a plurality of longitudinally-spaced partition members each including an upper transversely extending section terminating in depending legs the ends of which releasably engage a corresponding pair'of transversely aligned sockets and being substantially restrained by the peripheral walls of said sockets against horizontal movement, a base member disposed between adjacent pairs of said partition members and including a pair of longitudinally-spaced transversely-extending parallel rods terminating in front and rear stop members of inverted U-shape configuration having legs extending below said rods and releasably engaging corre sponding sockets and being substantially restrained by the peripheral Walls of said sockets against horizontal movement, a transversely-extending guide rod located between said base rods and terminating in depending legs releasably engaging corresponding sockets and being substantially restrained by the peripheral walls of said sockets against horizontal movement, a pusher member slidable along each of said base members and defined by an upright plate having longitudinally spaced openings formed in the lower edge thereof registering with corresponding of said base rods and guide rods, and a helical compression spring resting on said transversely extending base rods and encircling said guide rod, and entrapped between said pusher member plate and said rear stop member.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Digital support for Liberal leadership candidates could play important role
OTTAWA - The deadline for Liberal leadership hopefuls to sign up new supporters for the party —and their candidacies — is Sunday.
But while each of the eight candidates will rely on their new recruits come ballot time, there is also the digital support base they've been building in recent months in the form of their following on social media.
Over the last six months, Justin Trudeau has signed up new Twitter followers at a rate far outpacing his rivals, gaining an average of 6,743 a month, with Marc Garneau trailing with an average of 886 followers a month.
As of late last week, Trudeau had 188,861 followers, Garneau had 11,840 and Hall Findlay had 7,511.
The number of followers definitely shouldn't be read as a digital coronation of Trudeau as Liberal king, said digital public affairs analyst Mark Blevis, who performed the social media analysis for The Canadian Press using a variety of different tools.
"Having a large follower base is important only because it means these people have committed to looking in on you, but how often do they actually do that?" Blevis said.
"What matters in the end is how many are going to put a checkmark next to your name."
While not every Twitter follower will equate to a vote when Liberals cast their ballots next month, social media can nonetheless be a vital tool for building supporter databases — vast pools of potential volunteers and donors.
Most research into the use of social media in the political sphere has found it's typically used to do little more than distribute campaign material, rather than engage in debate or conversation with voters.
That, however, is where the number of followers has the potential to come in handy.
A Pew Internet and American Life project concluded that about 40 per cent of Americans who use social media do so for civic or political activities, mostly to convince others to vote or share campaign messages.
Trudeau, Garneau and Martha Hall Findlay actually share thousands of the same followers, Blevis found.
But the rest appear to be quite different.
The word that most commonly appears in the biographies of Trudeau's digital fan base is "love." Other popular terms include "student," "music" and "writer."
Blevis said that indicates Trudeau appears to have tapped into an online community that doesn't immediately identify with politics, perhaps giving him new avenues for support that other candidates don't have.
For Garneau and Hall Findlay, the most common description for their followers is "politics," with "Canadian" and "political" also being popular terms.
Those same words are dominant in the profiles of candidates Joyce Murray, Deborah Coyne and David Bertschi.
The profiles for Karen McCrimmon and Martin Cauchon didn't provide enough information for analysis.
Murray's list of followers is different from the majority of other candidates.
A sample of 1,000 followers from each contestant, filtered through a tool called Status People, revealed that 54 per cent of Murray's 4,900 followers are either from fake or inactive accounts — accounts with very few, if any, tweets or followers, but which follow many people.
That's despite a series of high-profile endorsements for Murray, including major online groups which support the idea of electoral co-operation — a policy Murray is alone among the candidates in endorsing.
More than 65 per cent of the followers for the rest of the candidates are considered "good," with Trudeau having the highest percentage of good followers at 90 per cent.
By the numbers, Karen McCrimmon is the least present online, with only 253 followers and 117 tweets from her account. But it was only created last November.
Martin Cauchon has only tweeted 200 times since his account was set up in January 2011.
Blevis notes, however, that different candidates are seeking to reach different constituencies and not all members of the Liberal party are active online, making the digital sphere only one part of a much larger campaign.
But with social media likely to only grow in importance in the next round, the challenge for any politician will be to find a way to translate their real-time skills into virtual ones, said Blevis.
"Can they convert the experience of the public space, the shaking hands, the pancake breakfasts, into an online experience?" Blevis asked.
"Can you make people feel like they have your attention online?"
Garneau has certainly captured the attention of one high-profile person on Twitter — his fellow astronaut Chris Hadfield sent him a Happy Birthday tweet from space.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel's defense minister on Monday called for a broad unilateral withdrawal from the West Bank if talks with the Palestinians remain stalled, saying in published comments that "practical steps" are needed to breathe life into the stalemated peace process.
The proposal drew attention to the dire state of affairs with the Palestinians, which has been overshadowed by Israel's focus on the Iranian nuclear program. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, convinced that Tehran is pursuing nuclear weapons, says the Islamic Republic must be stopped and has devoted his 3 1/2 year term to rallying international support against the Iranians. At the same time, he has largely ignored the Palestinian issue.
In an interview with the Israel Hayom daily, Defense Minister Ehud Barak implied that the deadlock with the Palestinians cannot be sustained indefinitely.
"It's better to reach an agreement with the Palestinians, but if that doesn't happen, we must take practical steps to start a separation," he said. "It will help us not only in dealing with the Palestinians, but also with other countries in the region, with the Europeans, and with the American administration — and of course (will help) us."
Barak's proposal is unlikely to be implemented, at least in the short term. Netanyahu has shown no interest in one-sided concessions, and his governing coalition is dominated by hard-liners who would be reluctant to embrace the plan. Netanyahu's office declined comment.
The 12 million people who live in Israel and the Palestinian territories are divided roughly equally between Jews and Arabs. Most experts believe the Arab birthrate is higher, and that if Israel does not give up control of the West Bank, Jews will no longer be a majority in areas under Israeli control. That would threaten Israel's twin goals of being a democracy and a Jewish state.
Dovish Israelis have cited this demographic argument for years as a key reason to pull out of the West Bank, which is home to 2.5 million Palestinians. Even Netanyahu, head of the nationalist Likud Party, has raised concerns about the demographic issue.
But on the ground, Netanyahu has continued to build up the settlements. More than 300,000 Israelis now live in Jewish settlements in the West Bank, in addition to 200,000 Israelis in east Jerusalem. The Palestinians claim both areas and the Gaza Strip, captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war, for their future state.
The Palestinians believe the continued construction on occupied lands is a sign of bad faith and say they will not return to negotiations without a settlement freeze. Netanyahu has rejected this demand, and says peace talks should resume without any conditions.
Barak has previously floated the idea of unilateral action, most recently in May. But in Monday's interview, he was far more detailed.
"We have not been a year or two in Judea and Samaria, but 45 years," Barak said, using the biblical terms for the West Bank. "The time has come to make decisions based not only on ideology and gut feelings, but from a cold reading of reality."
He said Israel would keep heavily concentrated settlement "blocs." These blocs, home to most of the settler population, are mostly located near the frontiers with Israel proper, though one of them, Ariel, is located deep inside the West Bank. Barak also said Israel would need to maintain a military presence along the West Bank's border with Jordan.

What's New in Health Law
Discount Me Once, Shame on You, Discount Me Twice, Shame on Me
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals held that a hospital did not have standing under RICO to sue an insurance company, but reinstated its claims under ERISA. The hospital was an out-of-network provider but gave the insurance company's enrollees a "prompt pay" discount that negated the out-of-pocket exposure the enrollees who selected the hospital would have paid. The insurance company countered by paying the hospital a percentage of the discounted rate.

Smears Stick
From the desk of George Handlery on Wed, 2014-12-10 03:40
Defamation is complete when its pretensions can be used as its proof.
Some countries, parties, and leaders are anathema to our opinion makers. Not everybody nominated as "Berserk Monster" is innocent; some of the pilloried are. America should know about "war by blame" as the "Tea Party country" is credited with global evil. The category of impostors is shared with Israel, Switzerland, and Hungary. Capitalism, the Britons (Farage) are also Hall of Shame inductees.
The case of Hungary and Premier Orbán is sufficiently remote to lend a perspective for an evaluation that might contradict standardized opinions. To correct the main-line media, the "accused" will be allowed to present his case here.
