Cowboys vs. Redskins NFL Week 12 Preview
Cowboys vs. Redskins NFL Week 12 Preview
With a win on Thanksgiving Day, over the Washington Redskins, the Dallas Cowboys could find themselves in first place in the NFC East. That is of course if the New York Giants lose their game against the Green Bay Packers.
The Cowboys now 5-5 on the season managed to squeak by the Cleveland Browns in a 23-20 overtime win. The way the Cowboys played on Sunday could have been because they overlooked the Browns, but who really knows? However, if the punch they received in the mouth didn't wake them up, they're going to be in for a long day on Thursday against the Redskins.
The Cowboys will need to do something they haven't done much of during head coach Jason Garrett's tenure; be disciplined. The one constant under Garrett and defensive coordinator Rob Ryan has been the lack of discipline on both offense and defense.
Players lining up wrong, receivers not knowing what route to run, running backs who don't know the blocking scheme, defensive players lining up offside, players not ready when the ball is snapped, players trying to come onto the field at the last second in substitution packages... the list goes on.
Why is it that this team can't get it together?
Is it lack of accountability from the coaching staff?
Personally I think it lies on the shoulders of owner Jerry Jones who seems to overlook the persistent problems, which have plagued this team year in and year out. As long as the team is winning games he simply ignores the problems.
It was never more evident than after the Browns game. At games end, Jones said he thought the offensive line did a good job? I'll let that sink into your head for a minute.
The offensive line did a good job? Who are you trying to kid, Mr. Jones? The offensive line is atrocious. How could a line, which gave up seven sacks, have done a good job?
One thing the Cowboys have going for them is that since 1968 they are 6-0 against the Redskins on Thanksgiving Day. If they want to make it 7-0, it's obvious that the offensive line has to play better.
There are other things the Cowboys must do to win Thursday's Thanksgiving Day matchup with the Redskins, these are five of those things.
Robert Griffin III
Limit Robert Griffin III
There's no surprise as to what needs to be done to stop the Redskins dead in their tracks. Stop Griffin and you stop the team, however, that is easier said than done.
Griffin has a huge arm and can make all the throws quickly and accurately, but stopping him from airing it out doesn't necessarily mean he's been stopped. He has the uncanny ability to extend plays with his mobility, and he can take off and run with the best of them. In fact, Griffin has some people wondering if he's the fastest athlete in the NFL.
The Cowboys haven't faced a quarterback like this yet, and if they hope to stop him the defense cannot have the same miscues it did against the Browns.
Blitzing Griffin also doesn't seem to faze him; in fact Griffin has wrecked blitzing defenses. When rushed by more than four rushers, Griffin has a 126.3 passer rating, averages 9.82 yards per attempt and has seven touchdowns to only one interception.
I guess this plays right into Rob Ryan's theory of only rushing three rushers against rookie quarterbacks.
Alfred Morris
Limit the "Shanahannigans"
I've never seen a coach rotate running backs the way Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan does. He goes with the hot-hand most of the time, but that doesn't mean he won't change it up a day before the game or even at game time. I was preparing for a healthy dose of Alfred Morris, but now it seems that Morris is in Shanahan's doghouse. Nonetheless, the Cowboys must stop whoever is toting the rock for Washington.
Santana Moss
Contain Santana Moss
Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne were brought to Dallas because the defensive backs were getting torched left and right. Moss is a Cowboy killer and the Cowboys have to contain him to limit Washington's big play ability.
Sav Rocca
Win on Special teams
The Redskins 30th ranked special teams cannot be a factor on Thursday if the Cowboys want to win. Containing Brandon Banks who has fumbled the ball on returns, needs to be a priority. The Redskins have also had two punts blocked this season, and they had a league-high five field goals blocked last season. Forcing them to make mistakes on special teams could be crucial in capturing the victory
Dez Bryant
Expose the Secondary
I'm hoping that what we saw from Dez Bryant isn't just another flash in the pan and that he truly is becoming a force to be reckoned with. The Redskins defense is a far cry from the defense it was last season, and it lost Brandon Meriweather for the season with a torn ACL. The Cowboys must attack the secondary with a healthy dose of Bryant, Miles Austin and Jason Witten.

Amherst Storms from Behind to Defend Vassar Invitational Title
Amherst successfully defended its title at the Vassar Invitational.
POUGHKEEPSIE, NY – The Amherst College women's golf team successfully defended its Vassar Invitational title by storming from behind on the second day of competition at the Dutchess Golf and Country Club. The Lord Jeffs finished day one in fourth place but shot an impressive 325 on Sunday to win the event by six strokes.
Williams College placed second with a 676, while the host Brewers—who held the lead heading into Sunday—finished third with a 681. Wellesley College was just outside the top three with a 683, while St. Lawrence University finished in fifth (701). This was the first year the event was held at the Dutchess Golf and Country Club, which has a yardage of 5,805 and a par of 72.
Senior captain Kinne Schwartz (Allen, TX) played a big part in Amherst's strong performance, with the day's low score on Sunday and the overall low score of the weekend (76). Each of Amherst's five players shot better on Sunday than on Saturday, but Schwartz stood out by shaving 13 strokes off her day-one score (89-76-165). Schwartz tied for third in the individual standings, finishing five strokes behind individual champion Celynne Balatbat of Vassar.
First-year Liz Monty (North Granby, CT) and junior Hayley Milbourn (Baltimore, MD) finished right behind Schwartz at 166 (6th) and 167 (T-7th), respectively. Sophomore Laura Monty (North Granby, CT) tied for 15th with an 87-85-172, while sophomore Elaine Lin (Clarksville, MD) shot a 100 on Saturday and a 90 on Sunday. First-year Irene Hickey (Glencoe, IL) competed as an individual, shooting a 182 on the weekend.
Sunday marked Amherst's third tournament title of the year and first of the spring season, as the Jeffs claimed the Middlebury and Williams Invitationals back in October. When Amherst won the Vassar Invitational last year, it began a dominant stretch that saw the Jeffs win four out of five events heading into the NCAA Championships.
The Lord Jeffs will return to action Friday, Apr. 16, when they attempt to defend their title at the Massachusetts State Tournament at The Orchards in South Hadley, Mass.

Feeding Memphis / A Celebration of the City's Eclectic Cuisine celebrates the local cuisine of Memphis through a Collection of Stories, Photographs, and Recipes. It can be viewed as a culinary postcard of the Bluff City, yet as a 192-page hardbound coffee table edition that presents the backstories of 28 diverse locally owned restaurants, a more accurate description may be an epicurean literary tale with a engaging cast of characters.
Author Michael Glasgow conceived this project based upon an underlying theme of Dine Local / Give Local, and consistent with such, $10.00 from the sale of each copy will be donated by the publisher to the Mid-South Food Bank to help address the issue of food insecurity in the greater Memphis area. Food brings people together.
Melting provolone flows over and through a mound of caramelized onions and sautéed mushrooms, a luscious kind of lava covering a mountain of ground beef, all between two pieces of a toasted artisan bun fighting, and losing, a battle to contain the whole eruption. What happens when flavors this diverse come together – in this sandwich and in this place – can restore your faith.

Hotel ( Penzion ) is very good situated with nice, clean rooms and apartments for very reasonable price.Stuff is very friendly and heplfull.Choice of minibar shoud be improved.Rooms are large and modern style.Private parking.
Well, everything still looks new. The owner pays attention to details. The rooms are clean and spacious. Towels exchanged daily. Extra towels in the wellness area. Nice breakfast for skiers and other guests with plenty to choose from. My favorite place in Liptovsky Mikulas.
Very kind and nice hotel, recent, modern, with nice designed and decorated rooms, simple but good breakfast.
Nice staff.
Sole comment is about reservation when you need to write to hotel multi-time and call at least 3 times to book a room and have the confirmation. When you arrive, they are still not sure if room is booked for you...
The interior of the room is so great. Simple but elegant. The location is also great. Walk distance to downtown area. It's closed to Demanovska Ice Cave where a nice place to visit. Highly recommended to stay here when you visit Liptovsky Mikula.
If you are to come in Liptovski Mikulas , the best place to stay is here, by far. Very clean, beautiful interior design, location near the town center , near route 66, a very good restaurant , excellent breakfast, and the best hotel ower you can imagine.
We got there very late, but we were greeted nicely and taken to our room.
The room was simply amazing. We couldn't believe that this is not a 5 star hotel. Everything was very well put together and VERY clean.
All the facilities were of very good quality and we really enjoyed our stay there.
It's a real pleasure to spend a few days in Villa Bianca: clean rooms, fresh breakfast, sauna and whirlpool. Parking space for all guests. Close to city center and only 15 min from Jasna ski center. Early breakfast for skiers!
I recently stayed at this lovely B& B and was pleased with our room and good breakfast. On the first day we visited the mountains and stopped off for morning coffeee at a new & stunning Alpine lodge. On returning to Villa Bianca I assumed that the owner would like information about our find to pass on to other people,...
Don't expect any great views from the rooms of Villa Bianca, but expect excellent service and modern design. Look no further to spend a few days skiing on the slopes of Chopok. The rooms are cosy with a decent early breakfast before 7:30 a.m. (great for skiers :-). After skiing you can make use of the sauna or wirlpool (which...
I stayed at this hotel for one night with my husband and 2 children. It is close to the downtown (5-10 mins walk) which is vibrant and has a lot of choices for food and snacks. Upon first driving up to the hotel, we were uncertain if we wanted to stick with our reservation as the hotel itself is secured...

Rochester, NY – The Conkey Cruisers Neighborhood Bicycling Program has been giving free rides to residents since 2012, but now their efforts to promote healthy living have been brought to a halt.
Thieves have taken advantage of their kindness.
Nurse Theresa Bowick got the shock of her life Friday when she opened the trailers for her community bicycle program.
More than 150 bikes and baby carriages were stolen from their security trailers in Conkey Corner Park. From the burn marks on the trailers, it appears thieves used blowtorches to break the locks and likely broke a fence to sneak them out.
Theresa says she was rendered to tears.
"It wasn't tears for Conkey Cruisers and the loss of bikes. It was tears for my community because I love Rochester," says Bowick. "I kept thinking to myself, 'what would lead a person to this?'"
Her daughter says her mom built the Conkey Cruisers Program to bring healthy living to a neighborhood in need of inspiration.
"It's not the community that did this to us; it was somebody that decided they deserved what we had better than the community," attests Jacynta Harris.
Nurse Bowick says even though the trailers are empty, she won't give up in trying to fill them again. She cherishes words sent to her from First Lady Michelle Obama, who recognized the Conkey Cruisers' success as part of the "Let's Move Campaign."
"She said to me, 'I know it's not easy, but if we keep working hard, we can improve our health and the health of our next generation,'" recalled Theresa.
The Conkey Cruisers will hold two bike drives to accept donated bikes to replace the stolen bikes. Those will be on July 2nd and July 9th from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m at the Conkey Corner Park on 92 Conkey Avenue. They will also keep the Conkey Cruiser tradition alive with a summer kick-off on July 13th.
"For everything they took, they took a little piece, but they didn't take the passion," promises Bowick,
Rochester Police said they have no new information on this case, and in the meantime, Nurse Bowick says she's looking for a new storage space and hoping that whoever took the bikes will have a change of heart.

After reading the installation instructions, I decided the best place to install the system was in the truck bed. The system was assembled on a 8 inch by 12 inch aluminum plate and mounted to the front bulkhead of the bed on the driver side. The wires were run to the engine compartment and connected accordingly. The +12 volt wire via 15 amp fuse was connected to upfitter switch #1. This makes it easy to check everything except air bag connections without getting under truck.

I've got a simple test, pretty much what the scaffold generated, although I can't figure out why it's not working. Here's the situation:
I've got an AttachmentsController:
# POST /attachments
# POST /attachments.xml
def create
@attachment = Attachment.new(params[:attachment])
@attachment.idea_id = params[:idea_id]
respond_to do |format|
if @attachment.save
format.html { redirect_to(idea_path(params[:idea_id]), :notice => 'Attachment was successfully created.') }
format.xml { render :xml => @attachment, :status => :created, :location => @attachment }
format.html { render :action => "new" }
format.xml { render :xml => @attachment.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity }
And a spec:
describe AttachmentsController do
def mock_attachment(stubs={})
@mock_attachment ||= mock_model(Attachment, stubs).as_null_object
describe "POST create" do
describe "with valid params" do
it "assigns a newly created attachment as @attachment" do
Attachment.stub(:new).with({'these' => 'params'}) { mock_attachment(:save => true) }
post :create,:attachment => {'these' => 'params'}
assigns(:attachment).should be(mock_attachment)
but this (and every other test in this spec) fails with something along the lines of
expected #<Attachment:33902000> => #<Attachment:0x2054db0 @name="Attachment_1001">
got #<NilClass:4> => nil
Because, for reasons I can't figure out, AttachmentsController#create isn't being called.
The route is there:
POST /attachments(.:format) {:action=>"create", :controller=>"attachments"}
This is what the log says:
Processing by AttachmentsController#create as HTML
Parameters: {"attachment"=>{"these"=>"params"}}
Rendered text template (0.0ms)
Completed 302 Found in 52ms (Views: 23.1ms | ActiveRecord: 0.0ms)
I should also note that I can invoke the create code (and it works great) through the website itself.. it's just the tests that are failing.
So what would cause post() or get() not to invoke the controller like this??

V for Vocabulary … I mean Vendetta We've linked some of the difficult words to their definitions, thinking this may be useful for expanding your vocabulary and preparing for the movie. Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant and vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition! The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.

LUMINAIRE REFLECTOR Filed Oct. 17, 1966 2 Sheets-Sheet 1 Sept. 10, 1968 F. E. GUTH LUMINAIRE REFLECTOR 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Filed Oct. 17, 1966 III % Town/7 United States Patent 3,401,258 LUMINAIRE REFLECTOR Frederick E. Goth, Clayton, Mo., assignor to The Edwin F. Guth Company, St. Louis, Mo., a corporation of Missouri Filed Oct. 17, 1966, Ser. No. 587,090 8 Claims. (Cl. 240103) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Downlight luminaire and process for controlling objectionable glare therefrom which involves providing a succession of rounded ridges on the inside of a coniform reflector at regions thereon which otherwise would be objectionably glaring when viewed from angles of twenty or more degrees below horizontal with the aperture of the reflector.
The invention relates to illumination, and particularly to the control of glare sensible by an eye viewing a reflector from normal viewing angles.
Modern illumination devices, such as mercury vapor lamps, are characterized by such a high order of light output that it is almost imperative that the light source be shielded to prevent ocular discomfort to persons who, in the normal course of their affairs, are likely to find their line of sight unavoidably, but not deliberately, addressed toward the light source. Consequently, dome-shaped reflectors have been provided to intercept light emerging horizontally, or nearly so, from the source, and to divert such light in a generally downward direction. However, ordinary reflectors, when used with such high intensity sources of light, introduce the unpleasantness that the inside of the reflector adjacent the mouth thereof becomes a source of objectionable glare when viewed from normal viewing angles; and the more specular the reflector, the more aggravating the objection becomes.
It is therefore the object of the invention to minimize such objectionable glare without diminishing the functional efficiency of the reflector in concentrating the output light where it is most needed.
Such object is achieved in accordance with the present invention by treating the portion of the reflector from which emanates the aforesaid objectionable glare in a manner which so diverts, but preferably does not substantially diffuse, the incident light that there is no substantial contiguous area of glare in any line of sight within normal viewing angles. This may be readily accomplished by providing, at those interior portions of a reflector from which the glare would otherwise emanate, a series of substantially specular flutes whose individual lengthdimension is substantially parallel with the general direction in which Wanted light travels from the source (or a reflector surrounding the source) toward the area to be illuminated, that is to say, that where a given Work area is illuminated with downlight from an overhead source within a reflector which confines the spread of the light to a more or less conical field (whose apex is at the source, and whose base is at the Work area), the individual flutes extend lengthwise in substantially parallel relationship with the correspondingly oriented elements of the cone of light, i.e., within zero to about fifty degrees of vertical.
The series of flutes is preferably integral with the reflector, but may be a separate piece of corrugated metal (or other material having substantial specularity) positioned to mask the portions of the reflector from which objectionable glare would otherwise emanate. With a metal reflector which is intended for use in open-aperture familiar type of dome-shaped rounded-aperture sheet condition, the fluting is preferably providedby corrugat: ing the perimetric belt adjacent the aperture of the reflector which is visible at lines of sight between sixty and ninety degrees from nadir. In a reflector which has a lens across its aperture, the fluting can be confined to those areas which reflect source light at such an angle that, when refracted by the lens, it produces objectionable glare at viewing angles of sixty to eighty degrees from nadir.
Irrespective of whether the reflector is to be used with or without a lens, where the reflector is intended to be used with its aperture in a substantially horizontal plane, the longitudinal center lines of the individual flutes lie respectively in planes which are substantially vertical. The fluting may be serpentine or saw-toothed, but in either case, it is preferred that there be a minimum of contiguous area in the fluted belt which occupies the same position, relative to source of light, that it would have occupied had it not been so fluted. The optimum configuration of the fluting is that there be a minimum of flatness in contiguous surface areas. To achieve the ultimate in the elimination of such flatness would require that the ridges and valleys have zero radius of bending, but such is not possible in practical operations where metal is bent. Hence, from the practical standpoint, such is approximated by curving the metal on the shortest feasible radius, or by bending it as sharply as feasible. However, the closer the bends or ridges or valleys are to each other, the more the brightness of their individual increments of surface Will tend to interblend, and minimize the reduction glare. Hence, a compromise must be made, and for practical purposes, the preferred ridge-to-ridge or valley-tovalley spacing of the flutes may be from about to inch on the average, it being realized that when the reflector is a coniform, the spacing increases toward the aperture of the reflector.
It is important that at least the fluted surface of the reflector be substantially specular, and the specularity is preferably as high as possible or practical. Where, as preferred, the reflector is made of sheet aluminum, the specularity may be controlled by the grade of aluminum employed and by treatment given it. For example, the ultimate in reduction of glare from the fluted area may be achieved by utilizing polish grade aluminum (commercially termed Alcoa No. 12") sheets (9 9+% pure) which, after formation, are polished to the highest practical degree, and finally treated in accordance with the conventional Alzak treatment. For practical purposes, however, etch grade aluminum (commercially termed Alcoa No. 31) is eminently satisfactory when, after formation, the fluted reflector is etched in the conventional way and then subjected to the Alzak process. The Alzak process involves two principal operations, to wit:
First, electrolytic brightening; Second, anodic coating. The conventional etching involves dipping in caustic soda solution (for a selected time period) followed by cleaning with nitric acid solution. Surprisingly, the degree of glare reduction achieved by the present invention in TABLE I Insert Material Treatment Glare (fot lamberts) 1 No. 12 Aluminum..- Polished, 15 minute 680 E.B., 8 minute A.C. 2 No. 31 Aluminum... 1 min.

In the foregoing table: EB. means electrolytic brightening; A.C. means anodic coating. In each test, the illumination was by the same 400 watt clear mercury vapor lamp at 120 volts. The foot-lambert readings were each taken with the same Spectra brightness meter aimed at 15 with the horizontal and from the same distance, reading the brightness of a inch diameter circular area located at the same position on the respective fluted inserts.
Two styles of coniform reflectors embodying the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a luminaire including a dome-shaped reflector having a circular aperture and fluted in accordance with the present invention;
FIGURE 2 is a view primarily in side elevation, but partly in section, of a luminaire embodying the reflector shown in FIGURE 1;
FIGURE 3 is a sectional view taken along line 3-3 of FIGURE 1 on enlarged scale;
FIGURE 4 is a sectional view corresponding to FIG- URE 3, but showing a modified form of fluting; and
FIGURE 5 is a perspective view of another style of dome-shaped reflector having a polygonal aperture and embodying the fluting of the present invention.
In the embodiment shown in FIGURES l, 2 and 3, the luminaire includes a dome-shaped reflector 1 connected by a plurality of spaced struts 2 to a shield 3, having a flange 4 for ready mechanical and electrical connection with a conventional fitting which mechanically supports the other parts and supplies electrical power to a socket 5 within shield 3, and therethrough to a light source 6. In the form shown, the light source is a conventional 400 watt mercury vapor lamp having a mercury-containing capsule 7 enclosed Within a glass envelope 8. In the form shown, the reflector 1 is a quasi-parabolic conoid truncated at its zenith to provide an opening 9 of size suiticient to accommodate the passage of that section of the light source 6 which must be passed through it. The geometric configuration of the reflector 1 departs from true parabolic by modification such as to approach, in a practical way and with an elongated source of light, the theoretical effect of a point source of light at the focus of a truly parabolic reflector. It will be understood, however, that the configuration of the reflector may be quasielliptic, or any other conic, or substantially conic, section desired, rather than parabolic as shown. The reflector 1 has a planar aperture 10 which, in this embodiment, is circular, and constitutes the base of the dome-shaped reflector.
In accordance with the present invention, the reflector 1 is provided with a circumferentially extending belt of successive elongated flutes 11, which, at any chosen section, have their ridges 12 and their valleys 13, respectively, equi-sized and equi-spaced with the ridges merging curvilinearly into the valleys. As clearly shown in FIG- URE 3, the radius of curvature of the ridges 12 is substantially greater than that of the valleys 13. The belt of fluting is circumferentially contiguous about the zone of the reflector adjacent aperture 10, and the individual flutes extend lengthwise from adjacent aperture 10 toward the light source 6 for a distance which embraces that zone of the interior of reflector 1, from Which, at normal viewing angles, objectionable glare emanates. In the embodiment shown, the upper extremities 14 of the multiplicity of flutes 11 lie at a circumference of reflector 1 from which a line drawn to the remotest increment of aperture 10 makes an angle X of about 22 with the plane of aperture 10. In the specific embodiment shown, the aperture 10 has a diameter of 14 inches, and the upper extremities 14 of the flutes 11 lie at a circumference which is at approximately 4% inches above the plane of aperture 10. As will be observed by reference to FIGURE 2, the lengthwise axis of no flute 11 runs, in all senses, perpendicular to the plane of aperture 10, but such axes, as well as the crestlines of ridges 12 and of valleys 13, do each lie in a plane which is perpendicular to the plane of aperture 10; and no more than two (e.g., diametrically opposite ones) of such axes or ridges or valleys lie in the same such plane. While, in the form shown, the lower extremity of the fluting 11 is slightly spaced from the aperture 10, and the intervening portion 15 of the reflector is flared outwardly for stabilizing and aesthetic purposes, such is optional, and the fluting may, if desired, extend completely to the aperture when it is not objectionable that the aperture present a serpentine appearance. In the embodiment shown, the fluting is such that the valleys 13 are upset outwardly for a distance of about an eighth of an inch, which is to say, that at any circular section parallel to aperture 10, the exterior of the valleys 13 lie at a radius about one eighth inch greater than the radius of the exterior of ridges 12. The finite value of such differential in radius, however, is not critical, and may vary anywhere from one sixty-fourth to one-fourth of an inch, depending upon practical considerations. Similarly, in the embodiment shown, the outside ridge-to-ridge spacing between successive flutes is about nine sixteenths of an inch adjacent the upper extremities 14, and about five eighths of an inch adjacent flare 15, such variation being due to the progressively diminishing perimeter of the reflector from the aperture 10 toward the light source 6. Thus, the several ridges 12, while not truly parallel with each other, are substantially so, and to the casual observer, give the appearance of being parallel. Again, such spacing is not critical, and may be as great as one inch provided care is taken in the upsetting operation to avoid the production, on the inside of the fluted belt, of contiguous planar areas of such magnitude as to be readily discernible macroscopically, at normal viewing angles from normal viewing distances, when the luminaire is in operation.
In the embodiment shown, the reflector 1 is formed of etch grade (No. 31) sheet aluminum, and the fluting is formed concurrently with the formation of the balance of the reflector from a flat sheet in a Hydroform press. In such method of formation, it is desirable that the longitudinal axes of the flutes 11 lie each in a plane which is perpendicular to aperture 10, but where other methods of formation of the reflector are utilized, considerable deviation from such orientation is permissible without adversely affecting the result.
As pointed out hereinbefore, it is preferred that the surface of the fluted belt be as specular as practical, and the greater the specularity of that belt, the greater the diminution of objectionable glare emanating therefrom. For practical purposes, adequate specularity may be achieved by treating the formed reflector as indicated hereinbefore for Insert No. 3 in Table I.
As illustrating the objectionable-glare reducing effect of the fluting hereinbefore described, comparative tests were made between the reflector of FIGURES l-3 and another reflector identical therewith in all respects save that it was unfluted. In the following table, the unfluted reflector is designated plain, while the reflector of FIG- URES l, 2 and 3 is designated fluted. The results of such comparative tests are here tabulated:
Viewing angle, degrees Foot-lamberts (below horizontal) Target area Fluted Plain 30 A l, 200 4, 700 B 730 1, 750 C 540 1, 350
25 A 720 2, 350 B 420 1, 000 C 340 850 20 A 430 1,200 B 280 600 O 205 475 A B C 100 190 The locations of the target areas A, B and C are indicated by those letters on FIGURE 2. The blanks at the line A and at the 10 lines A and B indicate that no reading was obtainable on those target areas because the bright ness was too low to read on the meter. The viewing distance was the same in all cases, and in each case, the reflector was illuminated with a 400 watt mercury vapor lamp having a clear envelope at 110 volts.
The fluting need not be of the serpentine configuration shown in FIGURE 3, but may, if desired, be of the sawtooth configuration shown in FIGURE 4 provided care be taken that there be a minimum of contiguous area in the fluted belt which occupies the same position relative to the source of light which it would have occupied had the reflector not been so fluted. This dictates that the peaks 113, whether on the inside or the outside of the reflector, have as near zero radius of bending as practical.
In the embodiment shown in FIGURE 5, the fluting of the invention is applied to a dome-shaped reflector of a more or less conventional type employed in situations where the aperture is to be covered by a lens. The top portion 16 is conoidal and arranged to accommodate a light source which usually extends horizontally, but may extend vertically as shown in FIGURE 2, if desired. Below the top section 16, there is a truncated pyramidal section defined by four walls 17 whose lower extremities define a substantially square aperture 18, and flanges 19 extend outwardly from the aperture 18 to accommodate attachment of the desired lens. Glare spots commonly appear in the lens of such reflectors, and such glare spots may be substantially eliminated by application of the fluting of the invention to the otherwise substantially flat pyramidal walls 17, particularly to the portions thereof which are substantially distant from the corners. Such fluting is shown in FIGURE 5 at 20, 21, 22 and 23. In this instance, the fluting is shown as being upset inwardly from the sheet metal body of the pyramidal walls, but such is not critical. Indeed, in both embodiments, the fluting may be upset inwardly or outwardly, depending upon manufacturing convenience; and the fluting may be of the configuration shown in either FIGURE 3 or FIGURE 4.
As indicated by the contrast between the values tabulated on the same line under Fluted and Plain in the table in column 5, the fluting markedly reduces brightness of glare in the critical directions. It does so by reflecting incident light downwardly and sidewise within the desired cone of light, and by minimizing the contiguous area from which the image of any part of the light source is reflected at objectionable glare producing angles.
From the foregoing description, those skilled in the art should readily understand the construction and operation of the invention and realize that it accomplishes its object. While two specific embodiments of the invention have been disclosed and variations thereof suggested, it is not to be understood that the invention is limited to the details disclosed save as indicated in the following claims.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is:
1. In the art of controlling glare from a reflector surrounding a high intensity light source, said reflector having a downwardly addressed substantially horizontal planar aperture vertically remote from said light source, and a coniform light reflecting surface extending in progressively diminishing perimeter from said aperture toward and about said light source, the improvement which comprises, providing a series of flutes adjacent said aperture while leaving a substantial part of said reflecting surface unfluted, the valleys of the individual flutes lying respectively in planes which include the center of said light source and which are substantially perpendicular to the plane of said aperture, no more than two such valleys lying in the same such plane, and said flutes being substantially specular.
2. The improvement of claim 1 wherein the individual valleys are substantially uniformly spaced each from its neighbor.
3. The improvement of claim 1 wherein the flutes are an integral part of the reflector.
4. The improvement of claim 1 wherein the respective flutes are equi-sized, merge into each other perimetrically of said light reflecting surface, and extend toward said light source to a level from which a straight line to the remotest increment of the reflectors aperture makes an angle of at least about 20 with the plane of said aperture.
5. The improvement of claim 1 wherein the reflecting surface is a substantially conic section of revolution.
6. The improvement of claim 1 wherein the reflective surface is a truncated pyramid.
7. A dome-shaped reflector having a substantially circular aperture at its base and means accommodating a light source near its zenith, and a perimetrically continuous belt of successive flutes on the interior of said reflector adjacent said aperture, said flutes each having elongated valleys and rounded ridges extending substantially in the base to zenith direction, said rounded ridges having convex surfaces addressed inwardly of the reflector, and a substantial part of the light reflecting surfaces of said reflector being unfluted.
8. A substantially pyramidal reflector having a substantially polygonal aperture at its base defined by sides which are generally flat, the central portions of said sides having a series of flutes on the interior thereof adjacent said aperture, said flutes each having elongated valleys and rounded ridges extending substantially in the base to zenith direction, said rounded ridges having convex surfaces addressed inwardly of the reflector, and a substantial part of the light reflecting surface of said reflector being unfluted.

The Western response to every Brics countries summit scarcely varies, says Fyodor Lukyanov
The first reaction is to dismiss it as an artificial organisation with no future, because its member countries – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – have practically nothing in common. The second reaction is anxiety, because the policies of its members are in opposition to those of the United States. These two reactions contradict each other, because if Brics is a phantom organisation, what does the West have to fear?
What has particularly raised eyebrows among Western commentators in the wake of the world financial crisis is Russia's presence in the Brics: what can a commodity-orientated state with uncertain prospects for modernisation contribute to a group of "future leaders "? they wonder. Russia is a bit of an odd man out: its rate of growth is far below that of China and India.
More importantly, Russia faces problems that are totally different from those in other Brics countries, which, in spite of their impressive growth rates, remain developing countries. Russia is a developed country that has lived through an unprecedented period of decline and degradation and is now trying to bounce back. The challenges that the Brics face are therefore similar in some ways and different in others.
Any arguments pitched against Russia would be more legitimate if the discussion was exclusively about economics. But obviously the member countries see the Brics structure above all in political terms. This reflects the objective need for a more diverse and less Western-looking world order. Institutions that have been functioning since the Cold War are unable to provide answers to the multiplying problems of the 21st century. New arrangements have not taken shape, and countries that are unhappy about the status quo are not trying so much to find a replacement for these institutions as to find ways around them.
A multi-polar world needs formats other than those that catered to a bipolar world. It is no accident that Brics declarations occasionally question the legitimacy of the existing system. Don't hold your breath, however, for any reform of the UN Security Council : the current permanent members are not going to share their privileges with anyone – and this applies to Russia and China, which are also Brics members.
All five Brics feel that the West has virtually monopolised global discourse. Not only is this at odds with the current economic and even political alignment of forces, but it also prevents new decisions from being made. All five members are also aware that their attempts to increase their international weight and influence exclusively within the existing structures are doomed. The Brics countries are seeking to bolster their negotiating position at a time when a future world system is being created.
The fact that those nations represent parts of the world that are becoming more and more significant lends more weight to their aspirations.
For Russia, which has been searching for a foreign policy identity since 1991, the Brics vehicle has come in very handy. It would be hard to find another format that would encourage a non-Western orientation in foreign policy, remind the world of Russia's global ambitions, and stress the country's similarity to states that are world leaders in terms of economic growth. An additional benefit is the group's principle of non-confrontation; all the Brics members strongly deny that their organisation is directed against anyone.
But whatever the talk and even the thinking in the Brics capitals, it stands to reason that increasing the influence of one group of countries can only happen at the expense of diminishing another's. Certainly that is not necessarily bad if it happens in an evolutionary way. The objective reality is that the world needs a new balance, and this means the rise of new centres must be encouraged.
If one group seeks to retain its privileges and other groups work quietly to erode them, the world will definitely experience a new upheaval. The world order that would emerge from this would depend on the outcome of that upheaval. The criteria would be clearer, but the price would be dear.

Paul Kruger
6-4/263 Utah
4.79 Senior
Pros: Has a good motor and a nice first step off the edge. Shows some quickness to beat blocker and turn the corner. Uses his hands very well. Shows a rudimentary spin move off the edge. Moves well in space and can drop off into coverage. Can make the tackle in the open field. Plays well in pursuit and uses his hands to get nice leverage vs. the run at the point of attack.
Cons: Will miss some stops once he turns the corner, as he doesn't have great pop coming off the corner. Not consistently explosive off the edge.
Overview: Kruger lines up all over the place for Utah, playing a hybrid end/linebacker role. He also plays some five technique as well. He can rush the quarterback with his hand on or off the ground, but tends to be more effective at the latter. He arrived at Utah as a quarterback in 2004 and then spent two years on his mission. When he came back he was moved to defensive end where he started in 2007. After the season he was involved in a stabbing in which he was stabbed twice in the ribs and abdomen, nearly costing him his life. He returned this past year and had a career high 7.5 sacks.
NFL Forecast: Kruger could potentially play both end or linebacker at the next level. In order to play end, he'll have to bulk up. He won't be an explosive pass rusher off the edge if that is the case, but he's effective there mainly because of his hand use and technique rather than just beating blockers with speed. So he should continue to be effective even if he weighed more than 275 pounds. More than likely, Kruger will be a nice guy that can consistently get 5-8 sacks per year, but not much more. His greatest potential probably lies at outside linebacker in the 3-4 however as he has good size and natural ability in space to make plays there. He could probably slim down somewhat to around 255 to play there however. He has the potential to be a nice pass rusher at linebacker and while his sack numbers may not rise much than they would be at end, he'd be able to make much more plays there. As an end, Kruger reminds me of Justin Smith. As a linebacker, I think he has the potential to be a similar player to Adalius Thomas.
ATL Forecast: Kruger has the potential to start at either linebacker or end, but is probably more sorely needed at end. He could be developed as a nice left end that serves as a situational pass rusher for a year or two before he would surpass Davis as the starter at that spot. As a linebacker, he'd likely sit for at least a year behind Nicholas before challenging and potentially taking that spot. Eventually, he'd take the job from Nicholas which would then allow him to move over to the other side. His impact as a pass rusher would be much less as a linebacker, but he should make an effective starter with development there. Regardless, Kruger would be a capable starter for the Falcons, although probably not an elite option for the team at either position.
Value: Kruger is a solid second round talent that should be taken in the middle to late portion of the round.
1-poor, 2-weak, 3-above average, 4-very good, 5-elite
