Santa Clarita Assemblyman Scott Wilk's Assembly Bill 2551, intended to increase fiscal transparency of local bond measures, passed the Senate Elections and Constitutional Amendments committee with a 5-0 vote on Thursday.

"I thank my colleagues in the Senate Elections and Constitutional Amendments committee for their support of taxpayers having access to essential information when voting on local bond measures," said Wilk. "AB 2551 ensures greater transparency in the tax rate statement by allowing voters to see the rationale for how these bond repayment calculations were made."
Related: Scott Wilk Weekly Update
The Legislative Analyst's Office has been required to disclose the fiscal impact of each statewide General Obligation Bond and the total cost of the bill to the state or local government to voters since 1997.
AB 2551 would apply these same requirements with respect to local bonds in an effort to ensure voter awareness of the complete cost of each proposed bond measure.
"With hundreds of millions of dollars of local bond debt approved every election cycle across California, voters need to be aware of how much it will cost to pay off," said the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, an AB 2551 sponsor. "Having this information in the ballot pamphlet ensures all voters can make fiscally prudent decisions regarding long-term debt."

Giulaini Spends Caucuses in Florida, New Hampshire
Former mayor Rudy Giuliani says he doesn't regret his decision to skip the Iowa caucuses, and isn't troubled by a recent slide in New Hampshire polls.
Friday, January 04, 2008
New York, NY —
New Hampshire Public Radio's Josh Rogers reports.
After speaking to workers at the Segway headquarters in Bedford, Rudy Giuliani defended his campaign's decision to focus on Florida and the many states that vote on February 5th.
He says the compressed election schedule requires a non-traditional approach and that he's not concerned that polls here show him losing support, even among voters who say fighting terrorism is their top priority.
GIULIANI: None of this worries me – these are all tactics - September 11th there were times I was worried. The way I approach politics, you don't worry, you deal with it.
Giuliani also stressed his foreign policy credentials, noting that he had visited 34 countries on business trips since leaving the New York mayor's office.
He also claimed that as New York mayor he was "involved in every foreign policy dispute that exists." For WNYC, I'm Josh Rogers in Concord, New Hampshire.

User reviews on Stone Theatres - Grand 14 at Market Commons
Love theater go all the time. Fed up with cell phone use in theater though. Can we enforce no texting while movie is on pleaaaas
I never thought big comfortable fluffy leather chairs could make such a big difference in your movie experience. I love how they offer the little tubs I can give one to each of the kids and fill it with popcorn, it make the popcorn sharing easy and I don't have to worry about everyone sharing their little germs. The prices are the same as any other theater in town, and it's always clean so don't have to worry about the bottom of my purse being sticky when we leave. This is the only theater I will go to when it's my choice.
Gotta say that this place is always bright and shinny, clean and fresh but for the money, it better be.Chairs are comfy and the sound system rocks but the service at the counter is really slow, even when there are 8 people behind the counter. Hot popcorn would be nice for a change as well. So, if you are looking for a please with a great A/C, good sitting areas and great Sound, this is your place. Just don't be in a hurry at the counter.
Why 13 movies and no ATLAS SHRUGGED? Why a highly rated new release not playing anywhere in Myrtle Beach? Who is John Galt?
One of the best theaters that I have had the pleasure of viewing a movie! Always clean, very curteous staff plus, the most comfortable seating while watching a good movie! I give this theater 5 star rating!

Not sure what causes the problem, but every time I plug headphones in and listen to music via Zune the volume randomly goes up and down. Some times it will only go down a little bit but then drops all the way to 0. When that happens I try to put the volume up and it just doesn't want to go up it just keeps going back and fourth from 1 and 0.
They only solution I have is to unplug the headphones and then plug them in again, but it just happens again.
Also sometimes whilst I am listening to music it will randomly pause then play, this is not due to the headphones coming out because it happens when its in my hand or my pocket?
Any one else had these issues.
Note: this is not a Mango problem as this started before I got the update.

Had this problem on my Surround every time I plugged something into the headphone jack (speakers or phones). Then I did a hard reset (for a different reason) and the problem went away, both pre and post Mango. Either some app created the problem or the factory flash was messed from the start. A little painful, but worth te effort to get rid of a frustrating problem.

Mueller sentenced to 65 years in prison for murder of Henderson, Ky., man
EVANSVILLE - Felicia Hill sobbed Tuesday as she told Vanderburgh Superior Court Judge Robert Pigman how her son Cedric Watt texted her to say good night only hours before he was murdered on Sept. 17.
After emotional testimony from Watt's mother and his stepfather, Ricky Hill, Pigman sentenced 22-year-old Ted Mueller Jr. to a total of 65 years in prison on murder and robbery charges in Watt's death.
"We always tried to text every day or every other day," Felicia Hill said.
She said her last text from Watt, a Henderson, Ky., resident, at 11:49 p.m. Sept. 16, read: "love you, night night."
According to Evansville Police Department reports, Watt was shot shortly after 3 a.m. Sept. 17. Hill said she found out Watt had been murdered when her husband came to her work to tell her later that morning.
"Cedric wasn't always perfect. He didn't always make good decisions, but he loved his family," she said.
In the weeks before his death, she said Watt spoke about wanting to move to Arizona, where his cousin lived, to "get away from trouble and start over."
Those plans were cut short when Mueller shot Watt once from behind as Watt, 23, fled from him on a dark block of Delaware Street during what police and prosecutors contended was an attempt to rob him of marijuana he was selling.
A jury convicted Mueller of murder and conspiracy to commit robbery causing death, a Class A felony, after a four-day trial in March. However, on Tuesday Pigman changed the robbery charge to a Class C felony, removing the causing death language, to comply with the state's double jeopardy protections.
"You can't be charged with two crimes from the same action," said Deputy Prosecutor Levi Burkett.
Pigman sentenced Mueller to 60 years for murder and five years on the robbery charge — both greater than what the state recommended — and ordered the sentences served consecutively. However, under state guidelines that reduce sentences by half and provide credit for jail time, Mueller could be released in about 34 years.
"I'm sorry for what happened. I'm not a bad person. Mistakes were made," Mueller said before being sentenced.
However, Watt's stepfather, Ricky Hill, said he never saw the signs of remorse he was hoping to see during Mueller's trial. He said the crime had destroyed not only his family but Mueller's, too.
"I did not see the things that I needed to see. I can't get my child back. There should be no daylight for the defendant," he said. Pigman cited Mueller's adult and juvenile criminal history, as well as the deliberate nature of the shooting, as factors in his sentence.
Burkett noted that sometime on the night of the shooting Mueller acquired a handgun and that he deliberately drove Watt to the location where he was killed — a dark street near a vacant lot.
"Mr. Mueller there is absolutely no reason for this to have happened. All he was trying to do was get away. This is not something that happened in a brief instant or a misjudgment," Pigman said. "If you would have let Mr. Watt just walk away, run away, you wouldn't be sitting here today."
Pigman also appointed the public defender's office of represent Mueller in appealing his sentence.
During the trial, three witnesses testified they were present and saw Mueller shoot Watt. Among them were acquaintance Shawn Kohlmeyer; Mueller's sister, Angie Mueller; and co-defendant Christopher Bell, 23, who also faces murder and conspiracy charges in the case.
According to court testimony, the four drove to Henderson in Angie Mueller's van to pick up Watt after Watt called Kohlmeyer and asked him to arrange a ride to Evansville.

S. Rajendran
Bangalore: Indu Bhushan Srivastava, a 1975 batch officer of the Indian Forest Service, is likely to be appointed next Principal Chief Conservator of Forests and Head of the Forest Force. He is expected to take charge on Saturday on the superannuation of the incumbent S. Nagaraj.
Sources in the State Government told The Hindu here on Wednesday that Mr. Srivastava is one among the two officers (the other being his senior A.K. Varma) who have been short-listed for appointment as PCCF and HoFF by a screening committee headed by Chief Secretary S.V. Ranganath.
The appointment order is expected to be issued on January 30 and the new PCCF and HoFF will have to take charge the same day since January 31 is a Sunday.
Mr. Srivastava will supersede two officers of the 1974 batch of the IFS — Dilip Kumar and A.K. Varma. While Mr Dilip Kumar is Director-General of Forests serving in the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests, Mr. Varma is presently serving as Managing Director of the Karnataka Forest Industries Corporation.
He had earlier served as Principal Chief Conservator of Forests between May 2007 to May 2008 and was one of the first to be replaced after the B.S. Yeddyurappa Government took charge.
Thereafter, Mr. Dilip Kumar who took charge as PCCF, was replaced within six months (December 2008) and S. Nagaraj posted in his place.
The State has thus been a witness to the head of the Forest Department being changed at frequent intervals although the position is of vital importance given the fact that forest clearance is mandatory for all major infrastructure works. It is now to be seen whether any of the officers to be superseded will move the Central Administrative Tribunal.

I'm a big Girls Aloud fan, and Nadine is my favourite so I may be biased but I've never heard a story of a bad meeting with her, and having met her myself, I found her to be the nicest out of the bunch. The general consensus among Aloud fans is that she is the sweetest girl to meet and always makes an effort when talking to people... I believe there's videos on YouTube that prove this.
I have no idea why all the non fans believe her to be so bitchy and arrogant, I can understand the Cheryl hate but Nadine is actually really genuine, and utterly harmless.

Indian fisherman: No warning before Gulf shooting
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates An Indian fisherman aboard a boat shot at by the U.S. Navy off Dubai's coast has told officials the crew received no warning before being fired upon, India's ambassador to the United Arab Emirates said Tuesday.
The account differs from that provided by the Navy, which said it resorted to lethal force Monday only after issuing a series of warnings.
One Indian was killed in the incident, and three of his countrymen were seriously wounded. The shooting underscored how quickly naval encounters can escalate in the increasingly tense waters of the Gulf.
The shooting happened Monday afternoon when a boat rapidly approached the refueling ship USNS Rappahannock about 10 miles (16 kilometers) off Dubai's Jebel Ali port, according to the Navy.
The Navy said the boat's crew disregarded warnings from the U.S. vessel, and only then did gunners fire on it with a .50-caliber machine gun.
A description of the incident posted online by the U.S. military indicates that a security team aboard the Rappahannock began issuing warnings as the boat headed toward it from about 900 yards (820 meters) away. Gunners opened fire when the boat closed in to about 100 yards (90 meters), according to the account.
The white-hulled, dark-bottomed boat appeared to be a civilian vessel powered by three outboard motors. It had no obvious military markings. The skiff was 50 feet (15 meters) long and carried no communications gear, according to the U.S. military description.
Similar boats are used for fishing in the region, though Iran's Revolutionary Guard also employs relatively small, fast-moving craft in the Gulf.
Indian consular officials have met with the wounded. Indian Ambassador M.K. Lokesh told The Associated Press on Tuesday that one of the survivors reported that the men were returning from fishing when they encountered the American ship.
"He says there was no warning" before the shooting occurred, Lokesh said, though he noted that authorities are still working to determine what happened. "We are waiting for the investigation to be complete."
Guest workers from India and other South Asian countries have flocked to the Gulf for decades in search of well-paying jobs. Many are employed as low-skilled workers in industries such as fishing and construction.
Dubai's police chief, Lt. Gen. Dahi Khalfan Tamim, said an initial investigation suggests "the boat was in its right course and did not pose any danger," according to comments published by Abu Dhabi-based daily The National. He told the government-backed newspaper that the shooting appeared to be a mistake.
Lokesh said the casualties are all from the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Four other men - two Indians and two Emiratis - were unhurt because they were in the boat's cabin, he said.
The three injured men are recovering in a Dubai hospital and are "out of danger," the Indian ambassador added. It was not immediately possible to reach the fishermen directly.
The U.S. ambassador to India, Nancy Powell, has expressed regret for the loss of life and assured Indian officials that the U.S. government will conduct a full investigation.

A stimulus-backed Department of Energy loan program that has not been tapped for four years, and was deemed unwanted two years ago by the Government Accountability Office, is suddenly ready and willing to dole out more taxpayer millions again – to a corporation that doesn't need it.
In fact, Alcoa's expansion project for which the funding is targeted – to produce special aluminum for automotive companies in Tennessee – has already been underway for 19 months and was first revealed almost two years ago.
Reuters sources inside Nissan are saying the production of batteries in Tennessee for the all-electric Leaf, which stimulus-subsidizing U.S. taxpayers backed with a $1.4 billion loan, could be eliminated.
According to the report, at minimum there is sharp debate over whether the company will continue to manufacture electric vehicle batteries in-house or contract with an outside supplier. Nissan partner Renault, which has 43.4 percent shareholder ownership in the joint company, is said to be pushing for outsourcing battery production – possibly to LG Chem. None who revealed the information were identified for the Reuters story.
After three years and $1.4 billion in stimulus subsidies from U.S. taxpayers, you'd think the technology and performance of the all-electric Nissan Leaf would have improved rather than worsened by now.
You'd be wrong.
Whereas once the Leaf enjoyed a favorable review by Consumer Reports (despite an extremely unpleasant test experience by one of its researchers and the identification of several negative features), the magazine has yanked its recommendation. That's because of the Leaf's dismal safety performance in crash testing of small cars by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, where it received a rating of "poor," along with three other models.
Last week AAA released findings from tests it had run on three models of electric automobiles, and announced that the heavily subsidized vehicles suffer dramatic driving range loss in both cold and hot temperatures.
The news wasn't new, but apparently the broader media noticed because the pronouncement from the nation's largest consumer automotive club made it official. NLPC (beginning with a Consumer Reports experience) has reported from time to time on such problems since late 2011. The Tulsa World reported that AAA found driving distance for electric vehicles can be diminished up to 57 percent in extremely cold temperatures, and by one-third in very hot temperatures.
Ecotality declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Monday.
Compared to other Recovery Act beneficiaries that have failed – like battery maker A123 Systems and electric auto company Fisker Automotive – the deathwatch was short. A July 25th report issued by the Department of Energy's Inspector General declared Ecotality's EV Project largely a waste of time and misallocated money.
Then in mid-August Ecotality informed the Securities and Exchange Commission it was in deep financial trouble, with bankruptcy a possibility. A filing showed that the company was unable to obtain additional financing and the DOE had ceased payments to it for the EV Project until the agency could investigate further. DOE also warned Ecotality to not incur any new costs or obligations under the EV Project.
Thirteen years ago a former executive chef/kitchen manager launched an environmentally friendly cleaning products company to compete with industry giant Ecolab, his former employer, where he had worked and achieved the position of district sales manager.
At the end of 2004 he gave up that money-losing business and turned it over to a partner, who in the first quarter of 2006 turned it into an electric vehicle charging company run by a former hotel chain executive – a self-described "political beast" – who would heavily depend on government subsidies for the revised company's survival.
With this dysfunctional history, is it any wonder why Ecotality is on the verge of bankruptcy?
Just when you thought the Loan Program Office in President Obama's Department of Energy might put its unused electric auto loan money back in the Treasury coffers, the government investor-crats are going to try to find some takers for the dollars of disrepute that have been tainted by the likes of inoperative, nearly bankrupt Fisker Automotive and Vehicle Production Group.
Reports have trickled out lately that, all of a sudden, demand is so great for the all-electric Leaf that Nissan's production just can't keep up.
"We're going to be short on inventory all through the summer," said Erik Gottfried, director of electric vehicle sales for Nissan, to Automotive News. "It will be late fall before we can produce enough to satisfy everybody."
Then the appropriate question from taxpayers should be, "What did we pay $1.4 billion for you to do in Smyrna, Tennessee then?!?"
A popular automotive Web site's attempt to set the record straight on the degree of success and failure of the Department of Energy's Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing loan program was well-intentioned, but missed the mark on several points and overall gave the initiative far too much credit.
Jalopnik.com contributor Patrick George was pointed in the right direction when he characterized DOE's boastful Loan Program Office as "rosy," but more accurate descriptors would be "excessive" and "unrealistic." It's clear his analysis was one of an automotive enthusiast and reviewer, rather than someone who regularly watchdogs government with a skeptic's eye and knows how bureaucrats fudge and exaggerate numbers to claim credit for their politician bosses. As NLPC has reported often, DOE – before a taxpayer-backed bank check was ever issued to an electric automaker – has made absolutely unbelievable claims about jobs, fuel savings and carbon dioxide emission reductions that were to be realized as a result of their loans.
Mark it down: the report this month about the shutdown of Vehicle Production Group – beneficiary of a $50-million stimulus loan from the Department of Energy – means the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing initiative within the Loan Program Office has been a thorough failure.
All five ATVM recipients, awarded a total of $8.4 billion of taxpayer-backed financing under the Recovery Act, have earned derision to some degree. Most fit into the already much-ridiculed electric vehicles program. VPG was funded to produce wheelchair-accessible passenger vehicles that ran on compressed natural gas.

According to Rosen, the campaign is just now getting its fundraising operation in to place, and the biggest events will take place in the coming weeks. A dinner at the Biltmore in Miami this week will be the largest to date. Rosen said Graham's speech at the DNC dinner last week, in which he criticized the Bush administration for being driven by one thing, 'O-I-L,' was a hit and produced commitments from major fundraisers.

The highlight came when spiritual guru (and Oprah fave) Marianne Williamson took the mic and implored the crowd to contribute the full $2,000 they're allowed. In a departure from supporters' normal confidence that Kucinich will be the nominee, Williamson addressed the elephant in the living room of these events … .whether he's electable. She proclaimed that she'll 'be in love with' whoever wins the nomination the morning after the convention, but even if it's not Kucinich she wants to keep his voice in the race so that the nominee cannot afford to avoid his positions."

Ax Men: Zakk Wylde and Joe Satriani Riff on Their Craziest Concert Moments, Jimmy Page and the State of Rock Guitar
Wylde and Satriani riff on crazy concert moments, Jimmy Page and the state of rock guitar.
Related Content
Which is good advice for any aspiring Zakk Wyldes or Joe Satrianis out there who might one day land an endorsement deal.
SATRIANI Absolutely. Make sure you get it in hand before you say, "Okay, put it on the market and let Guitar World run the ad." The creative musical artist works in a different way than the creative people who design and build musical instruments.
Zakk and I might have a conversation while we're having our picture taken that sends one of us off in some new musical direction. And because we're performing artists, we want to share our ideas with the public right away. But that's not how the industry of manufacturing instruments and amplifiers works. It can take two years to develop a product, and by then we may be off on three different artistic tangents.
And that's where the problem lies. Sometimes the industry wants to say, "Yeah, but could you just sign off on this today?" I always say resist as long as you can until that thing is what you really like.
Where do each of you go for inspiration when you're having a dry period, when it's just not happening?
SATRIANI I like playing vintage instruments. That usually helps me out. Sometimes you pick up an old piece of gear that you wouldn't normally play and then you have a limited range. Guys like Zakk and me play a very modern style of guitar. We need instruments that can withstand a lot of pressure.
We're cooking like crazy onstage. But you go back in time and older instruments were sometimes designed for a simpler basket of techniques. So it's interesting to sit there and struggle with something that was designed for a simpler playing style and see how it changes your perspective on your own approach to your own instrument.
Kind of like going into a different tuning.
SATRIANI I love that too. I do that all the time. None of it may ever work its way onto one of my records, but it's just a new area for creativity. Create some inspiration. It feels like you've been somewhere else and you've collected some new information.
WYLDE Without a doubt, different tunings and different instruments can help. But inspiration is all around. You could be driving to the store and hear something like "Whole Lotta Love"—just how simple the structure is—and you think, It would be cool to do something with a simple riff like that. But then a creative guy like Joe will take that inspiration and he warps, twists, bends and changes it till it sounds nothing like "Whole Lotta Love." So inspiration can come from that too—your favorite artists.
SATRIANI Speaking of "Whole Lotta Love," I often think I have to find myself a [Vox] Super Beatle [amp], 'cause that's what Jimmy Page used back then. I never would have guessed in a million years that the guy had a Super Beatle that he played on hundreds of other people's songs as well as the first couple of Led Zeppelin records. A Super Beatle!
One of the English ones, though.
SATRIANI Yeah, I just think that's so cool. That's something I'd like to do sometime, plug a Les Paul into a Super Beatle and spend an afternoon making believe I'm Jimmy Page. Sitting there and being a wannabe for a few hours is kind of fun. Then you put it away, go back to your own rig, and you've gained a new perspective. You also acquire an amazing respect for, in this case, Jimmy Page and what he achieved with the gear that he had.
WYLDE It's nice to have hundreds of crayons in the crayon box. But if you have just a few, you have to be creative. If you don't have a pink crayon, then you have to take a red and a white, mix them together and you go, "Oh wow, red and white make pink!" Would Sgt. Pepper's be as good if the Beatles had hundreds of tracks instead of just four? I don't know.
How do the both of you relate to the current wave of extremely technical prog-metal guitar players-—the Tosin Abasi types?
SATRIANI Some of them are great. I flirted with seven-string. But basically I just don't like the sound of it as an instrument as compared with a six-string. And then there's guys playing eight-string. They really impress me—how they've built a world around this new instrument. It's crazy. Charlie Hunter plays a 10-string, and that is the freakiest thing ever. He plays chords, bass lines and melody all at the same time.
WYLDE It's crazy how Uli Jon Roth had a 35-fret guitar, the Sky Guitar. He was a big Strat guy, but he's got this Sky Guitar now, and it's just crazy. Even when he was playing a Strat it was out of control. You gotta remember, he was doing that wild stuff in 1974.
SATRIANI The Earthquake and Fire Wind records…amazing.
WYLDE He was killing it, even back then. The first explosion of guitars was Clapton, Hendrix and Page [in the mid Sixties]. But what people forget is that Allan Holdsworth was killing it in 1972. How he plays nowadays he was doing back in '72.
SATRIANI A Small Stone phase shifter into a 100-watt Marshall.
WYLDE And you had John McLaughlin doing all that stuff back in 1970. It was just a massive explosion of insane guitar players that came out back then. And everyone's technique was beyond insane.
So is it like that now with these new seven- and eight-string guys—a new plateau that's going to change the rock guitar vocabulary? Or is it more just a small niche-market thing?
SATRIANI It's hard to say. I think about a player like Don Felder; his playing is really amazing. The structure of his solos is mind blowing. So I don't know if that's going what's going to happen, if we're going to get another Don Felder out of the new generation—an accomplished player who also impacts the mainstream. Because what these young guys want to achieve with their music is different than what, let's say, Felder was looking for with the Eagles.
And I like that fact. This new stuff doesn't sound anything like what's come before.
SATRIANI No, it's brand new. And I never feel like it's lacking anything when I put it on. If I listen to Animals As Leaders, I'm just taking it for what it is.
Well, I don't find myself humming along.
SATRIANI Yeah, but there's lots of music where you're not supposed to be humming along.
WYLDE You don't hear a lot of blues or vibrato in the younger players. They can play fast, but if you ask them to play "Red House," the feel isn't there. The licks aren't there.
SATRIANI When I think about my early influences, like Tony Iommi and Jimmy Page, they just sound perfect to me. They had great phrasing. They never put technique in front of the music. I love that. And Don Felder is the same way. What he plays is pure music. There's no extra stuff. So I'm looking over my own stuff a lot thinking, Make sure you clean out all that trendy shit. I think that's what you want to do with your influences: you want to distill what is pure music. That way, you learn to admire the quality of those players and the foundations they built for you.
Once you get to where you've mastered reproducing the notes and the parts, you can get to another level with it and appreciate the pure musicality of it.
SATRIANI Exactly. And that's what Zakk is talking about—beyond the finger movements. Way beyond that.
We have to constantly keep reminding the young beginners of that.
SATRIANI Yeah, but that kind of music—like that band Necrophagist—it's just brutal-sounding music, but not in any way designed for blues expression. Which is fine. There are no rules. When I listen to stuff like that, the first thing I think is, Wow, that's a crazy feeling this is giving me. But then the musician part of me kicks in and I think, I can't play that! Maybe I'd work on it for an hour and give up. It's just not me. But then I think, How are they remembering all that? It like listening to a good hip-hop artist and thinking, How is he remembering all those words? In an hour-and-a-half show, how many lyrics are they remembering?
WYLDE It's like a phone book.
So, here in the digitized 21st century, does rock still matter?
SATRIANI Well, it does to me. And I guess whether the answer to your question is "yes" or "no," does that change the way you feel about rock?
WYLDE When people say "Rock is dead," I don't think so. It just takes on a different form. It just keeps morphing—from Elvis Presley to the Beatles and Stones to Led Zeppelin. It's the same thing with guitar solos. I remember talking to Dimebag, saying, "Guitar solos are dead?" That doesn't change the way I feel when I hear Joe killing it on the guitar. That will never go out of style. Great is great. Whether it's Joe, Al Di Meola or Dimebag, that will never go out of style. Like a great steak or Levis and a T-shirt, rock won't go out of style.

A series of labels for the labelling of goods are separated from a strip which consists only of the labels. The labels are rendered actively adhesive on their rear sides before they reach the goods.
1. A method of dispensing labels to be glued onto a product, comprising the steps of
Conveying a strip of labels which consists only of consecutively arranged labels, without gaps, to a separation site;
separating individual labels from said strip of labels at said separation site, in response to a first signal;
transporting a single separated label from said separation site to a ready position at which the label is held stationary;
detecting the presence of a label at said ready position, and producing said first signal when detecting a change from "label present" to "label absent" state; and
in response to a second signal derived from detecting the product on its way to a labelling position, routing the single label from said ready position, past a device for coating the label with adhesive, to said labelling position to be adhered to the product.
The invention concerns a method for dispensing labels, which are coated so as to be capable of adhesion on the rear side, are obtained from a supplied strip of labels, and are released individually to a labelling position, and which are glued onto a product which is held ready there; together with a strip of labels and a device to implement this method.
In a labelling machine known from U.S. Pat. No. 4,224,872, the strip of labels consists of a backing strip, to which the labels, backed with a self-adhesive coating, are temporarily stuck. Such strips of labels are costly. The task of the invention is to improve on a method and device of the sort described above, in such a way that they can be operated with simpler and less costly strips of labels.
A method which accomplishes this task has the following characteristics: a strip of labels is used which consists only of the consecutively arranged labels, without gaps; the labels are obtained by separating a corresponding section of the strip of labels for each label; the individual labels obtained in this manner are then rendered actively adhesive on the rear side, consecutively and individually, by the application of adhesive or by the activation of an inactive adhesive coating applied previously to the strip of labels; and the labels rendered capable of adhesion are then released to the labelling position individually and are glued onto the product.
The lables, and hence the strip of labels, consist preferably of paper. Other sheet material may however also be considered, for example plastic, metal foil, or sheets of textile material.
Since the strip of labels consists exclusively of the labels, it is adequate to cut these off at the front end of the strip of labels, in order to obtain the labels ready for use, without any waste at all.
A label is stuck onto the product with as little delay as possible after it has become actively adhesive, in order that the adhesive does not lose its activation in the meanwhile.
In the strip of labels, it is preferable for two immediately consecutive labels to adjoin one another alone the line which extends transversely across the strip of labels. In order to separate a label, it is then adequate to cut it off along this separating line. This can be achieved by means of punching, welding, melting, cutting, application of a penetrative gas beam or the like.
The external contours of the labels may vary extensively. This can be achieved by including both edges of the strip of labels in the outline of the labels, and/or by providing recesses in the outline of the labels which are preferable located between the separating lines. The important point is that the strip of labels is adequately stable throughout.
The invention is now explained in more detail using the appended drawing.
In the drawing:
FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a for dispensing labels with activated adhesive;
FIG. 2 shows parts of FIG. 1 viewed in the direction of arrow II;
FIG. 3 shows an operating diagram for FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 shows a modified operating diagram as compared to FIG. 3; and
FIG. 5-11 show various forms of strips of labels.
Referring to FIG. 1, 1 designates a label strip reel, around which a supply of label strip 2 is wound. The label strip 2 is conveyed in each case between pairs of rollers 3, 4, and 5, 6 in the direction of arrow 7. Rollers 3 and 5 are driven by drives 8 and 9. Rollers 3 to 6 form the label strip conveyor designated as a whole by 10. A printer 12, driven by a drive 11, is assigned to this label strip conveyor; the printer is directed at the upper side of the strip of labels shown uppermost in FIG. 1, and a measuring sensor 29 is assigned to it. In addition, a loop-former is assigned to the label strip conveyor 10; the loop-former is constituted by rollers 5 and 6 and reversing roller 14, and the strip of labels is guided into a loop of greater or smaller length. If the length of the loop is less than the length shown if FIG. 1, a measurement sensor 15 gives a signal to this effect. If the loop exceeds a considerably greater length, a second measurement sensor 16 located further below gives a signal. These signals reach the central control unit 17. A transverse cutter 20 is also assigned to the label strip conveyor 10. This transverse cutter consists of a sliding surface 21 underneath the strip of labels, on which the start of the strip of labels 2 is pushed forward by means of the pushing effect of rollers 3 and 4.
In addition, the transverse cutter features a transverse cutter roller 23 on rotating bearings, which includes a cutting blade 22 extending over the entire width of the strip of labels. The transverse cutting roller is driven by drive 24, so as to make one complete revolution in each case. A first label conveyor section 25 is positioned after transverse cutter 20; this first label conveyor section consists of a lower sliding surface 26 and an endless conveyor belt 27 positioned above it, and which can be driven by drive 28. Positioned after label conveyor 25 is a second label conveyor section 30 which consists of a sliding surface 31, positioned as an extension to sliding surface 26, and an endless conveyor belt 32 positioned above it, and which can be driven by drive 33. Label conveyor section 30 leads to the label dispenser 19.
Between the two sliding surfaces 26 and 31, there is a gluing roller 35, assigned to a gluing mechanism designated as a whole by 36, which protrudes into a gap between the two sliding surfaces 26 and 31. However, the upstream end of conveyor belt 32 is located above this gap. The free end of sliding surface 31 is directed at a product 37 which is located at the labelling position. This product is one of a series of products 37, 39 carried separately and consecutively through the labelling position on a conveyor belt 38. Above the product 37 located in the labelling position is a pressure roller 41 tensioned by a pressure spring 40.
The drives 8, 9, 11, 24, 28, and 33 are controlled from the central control unit 17. The central control unit 17 is for its part also controlled by sensors 43, 44 and 74. Sensor 43 is directed at a label which is located in the `ready` position.
Sensor 44 is directed at a product, for example product 39, which is en route to the labelling position. Sensors 29 and 74 are directed at a mark which is printed on or punched into the strip of labels 2, or at a mark resulting from the contour of the cut; these marks are assigned uniquely to the individual labels.
As can be seen from FIG. 2, the sliding surface 31 consists of several sliding rods 50, 51 and 52, positioned at a distance from one another. The glue roller consists of gluing disks 56, 57, 58 and 59, positioned at a distance from one another and of the same size, which are aligned with the gaps between the sliding rods. In this way, it is ensured that no glue can reach the conveyor belt 32 from the entire glue roller 35. A label which is being conveyed between the glue roller and the conveyor belt 32 is glued in strips, corresponding to the positioning of the gluing disks; then, as the unglued portions located between the glued strips pass over the sliding rods 50, 51, 52, the label slided to the labelling position, at which label 60 is located in the drawing. The two outer gluing disks 56 and 59 are located outside of sliding surface 31, so that the outer edges of the label are glued.
At the labelling position, the label 60 is brought into contact with the product; its rear, glued side adheres to the product and is pressed against it there by the pressure roller 41. It is drawn along following the onward movement of the product 37, pulled through and under pressure roller 41, and is thur roller and stuck firmly on to the product.
As is shown in FIG. 5. the strip of labels 2 is a long, uniform strip of paper consisting only of individual labels arranged in consecutive order, for example the labels 72, 73.
The labels adjoin along lines 69, 70 which extend perpendicularly to the direction of length, transversely across the strip of labels in accordance with arrow 71. The labels are of geometrically identical form and are already printed in label strip reel 1 and/or are printed in the printer 12. The strip of labels is pulled from the label strip reel by the drive of rollers 3 and 5, until the free and 75 is standing in the transverse cutter. The feed of label strip pulled by roller 5, is effected in such a manner that the length of loop 18 is no shorter than the value corresponding to sensor 15 and no longer than the value corresponding to sensor 16. In this way, the speed of advance in the area of the printer is independent of the speed of advance in the area of roller 3. During operation, the glue roller rotates constantly, driven by a drive 76. It is in overall contact with a coaxial glue transmission roller 77, the bottom part of which dips into a glue supply container 78, so that the entire glue roller 35 is constantly coated with a uniform coat of glue.
FIGS. 3 and 4 give operating diagrams for two different types of operation. On the horizontal axis, time T is represented; reference numbers 43S and 44S designate the signals from sensors 43 and 44. Unbroken lines show for how long the individual mechanisms 23, 25 and/or 30 are switched on. As soon as a requirement signal is given from sensor 44, compare FIG. 3, label conveyor sections 25 and 30 are set in operation. Label conveyor section 25 immediately advances label 45, which has until then been kept stationary at the `ready` position, past the gluing mechanism 36 to label conveyor section 30, and this label conveyor section carries the label, now coated with glue, to the `ready` position which is occupied by label 60 in the drawing, so that this label is glued to the product 39 which has meanwhile arrived at the `ready` position. As soon as label 45 has left its `ready` position, sensor 43 gives a requirement signal b, by means of which the transverse cutter 20 is triggered to start a cycle in which it cuts off the last label from the end 75 of the strip of labels. This label is released to label conveyor section 25 by the rotation of the transverse cutter, and from here it arrives the the `ready` position, which was originally occupied by label 45. As soon as label 45 reaches the labelling position, label conveyor section 30 is halted, and as soon as the newly-cut label reaches the `ready` position, label conveyor section 25 is switched off. Shortly after transverse cutter 20 has ended its cycle, driven roller 3 moves the strip of labels further forward by a step of one label, so that the next label is ready for cutting in the transverse cutter, as shown for label 75.
The `ready ` position, which is occupied by label 45 in FIG. 1, ensures that a label is always glued only just before it reaches the product, so that the glue applied cannot dry out in the meantime.
As a modification to the mode of operation described, it is possible to dispense with the `ready` position. This makes the control rather simpler, but the sequence of cycles is rather slower. This modified method of operation corresponds to the diagram according to FIG. 4. The only difference compared to FIG. 3 is that the requirement signal from sensor 44 sets the transverse cutter 20 in operation; the transverse cutter then cuts off a new label, which then immediately passes the `ready` position without a pause, and reaches the labelling position, en route to which it is also glued, as in the mode of operation according to FIG. 4.
Instead of coating the labels with a layer of glue before they reach the goods, it is also possible to use strips of labels which feature an adhesive layer which is as yet inactive but which can be activated, such as a dry coat of glue which is activated by application of moisture. In such a case, a moistening device is used instead of the gluing device.
Instead of using a dry adhesive which must be moistened in order to be activated, it is also possible to use a meltable adhesive, which must be heated in order to be activated. Instead of applying glue and moisture, it is also possible to spray them on.
FIGS. 6 to 11 show different forms of strips of labels 80-85. All of these have as a common feature the fact that they consist of consecutively arranged, identically shaped labels 97 to 104, which are firmly joined to one another and are only detached by means of separation, such as cutting. No waste is caused as a result of this. In the case of strips of labels 2, 80, 81, 82, 83 and 84, the separating cut is made along a straight line 86-91. which extends perpendicularly to the length of the strip of labels in question. In the case of strip of labels 85, curved line 92 is used. In the case of strips of labels 82 and 83, recesses 95, 96 are provided. Recess 95 is inside the individual labels, whilst recesses 96 are outside the labels and the separating cut along line 90 lies between them. The two edges 63-68 of the strips of labels 80-82 are included in the outline of the relevant labels 97 to 102. The same applies to strips of labels 83 to 85.
FIGS. 5 to 11 show that the invention can be operated with numerous forms of labels, but without any waste occurring from the strip of labels.

Good news for the homebuilding industry came earlier this week when the National Association of Homebuilders/Wells Fargo released the housing market index. Its numbers showed that homebuilders' confidence rose to 49 points, which is just one point shy of an index that indicates favorable home-selling conditions and the highest reading since last December. The 49 point number is a pleasant surprise considering that economists polled by MarketWatch expected the June index to only reach 47.
Generally, an index above 50 suggests that homebuilders view home sales conditions as more favorable than not. Despite the positive jump, the index is still far short of last year's peak of 58. In fact, the index has been below 50 points since February 2014, while for the eight months prior to February, it had been above 50 points.
There are several possible reasons that may explain why the index has not increased to its pre-February numbers:
Notwithstanding lingering effects, the circumstances that have been contributing to a lack in homebuilder confidence are slowly beginning to improve. Job creation has increased nationwide for several consecutive months, which should in turn promote confidence in job security and increase homebuyer purchasing power. Lending conditions are also slowly improving. Generally speaking, homebuilder confidence is on an upward trend indicating positive signs for the 2014 housing forecast.
