An elderly British man was found dead in his Pattaya apartment.
Terence Michael Sims, 66, was found lying face down on the bathroom of his eighth floor apartment at the PAD Condominium on Sukhumvit Soi 42. Police found injuries on the right side of his face and he was bleeding from the nose and mouth. He also had injuries to his head and police estimated that he was dead for at least 12 hours.
The room was investigated and no belongings were believed to be missing.
Building manager William Alexander, 70, said Sims had been staying there for more than three years. He usually drank with foreign friends at a bar downstairs, but his mates became concerned when he did not show today.
Foul play is not suspected, but the body was sent to the Forensic Institute to determine the cause of death.
Pattaya police are trying to identify an Asian man whose body washed up on Koh Larn.
The apparent drowning victim was a light-skinned Asian man in his late 20s wearing long, black trousers and a Romanson wristwatch. Police found no identification on the corpse and a black handbag on the victim was empty.
Authorities estimated he had been dead about two days.
Police assumed he drowned elsewhere and floated to shore on Koh Larn. His body was sent to the Forensic Institute to determine an official cause of death.
A Koh Larn family feud spanning more than a decade turned into gunfire after one relative shot another for dumping cat feces in his yard.
Wanchai Somchai, owner of the Charoenchai Resort, was arrested shortly after fleeing the island by boat around 6 p.m. April 22. He was charged with injuring five people with blasts from a shotgun.
A Dutchman died after crashing his motorbike on Beach Road.
Marc Egmont Henkel, 51, struck his head a concrete block after sliding 20 meters in the April 18 crash near the Hard Rock Hotel. His Yamaha Nouvo showed only minor damage.
Witnesses said the Netherlands national had been speeding down Beach Road when he lost control of the bike, fell and skidded to his death.
An old artillery shell found near Mabprachan Reservoir caused worry, but no injuries.
Police were called to the Moo 3 village entrance to the lake where the old and rusted shell, 10 centimeters wide and 30 centimeters long, was found.
The now rare sight of a pregnant elephant being led through the streets prompted Huay Yai residents to call the media to report the ongoing event.
Locals called the media after spotting two young mahouts leading the elephant under the hot sun along Sak Ngaew Road near Route 331 April 22. Two young men were selling sugar cane and fruit to feed to the animal in order to earn money.
Three hours of rain April 11 again wreaked havoc in Pattaya, especially for places with little or no active drainage.
Sukhumvit Road near Nong Yai Temple, North Pattaya Road, Pattaya Third Road, Central Road, South Road near Tukcom and Beach Road all were inundated. Smaller vehicles, homes, property, cars, and motorcycles all were damaged, with many vehicles stalled in the high water.
Pattaya police have arrested two of three men wanted for mugging a Mukdahan man April 10.
Annan Waikarn, 35, and Weerawat Phawut, 32, were apprehended in separate arrests a day after they allegedly jumped Supachai Chuahong, 27, in Sunee Plaza in South Pattaya.
Chonburi police arrested four men accused of running a motorbike-theft ring in the Pattaya area.
Chonburi police superintendent Pol. Maj. Gen. Nithipong Niamnoi announced the arrest of Kiathisak Litthep, 19, Mitr Jiewplumejit, 29, Wasan Pathsiri, 22,and Jetsada Noysamran, 18.
A drunk wallpaper hanger drowned while diving for shells in a lake near the Pattaya Kart Speedway off Thepprasit Road.
Songkram Phuangket, 47, of Srisaket was pulled from the lake April 10. Police arrived about three hours after he died, finding the man wearing jeans and no shirt, with a bucket of shells near him.
The dead man's employer, Manop Duangpat, 50, said Songkram had reported he was going drinking with friends who lived near the lake. He arrived the next morning to pick him up for work and found the two friends asleep on the banks of the water and Songkram face down in the lake.
Police speculated Songkran went diving for shells for supper and snacks while drinking, but had too much to drink and drowned.
The body was taken to the Banglamung Hospital where relatives can collect it.

It still looks like a majestic Mediterranean mansion at the corner of Ponce and Andalusia, but it's a whole new juego de pelota inside the former Por Fin. The white tablecloths have been stripped, the chandeliers traded for filament bulbs and the main bar moved downstairs to the center of the action.
And that makes for a whole lot of bulla at Bulla — pronounced "boo-ya" and translated as the racket of a crowd. The former temple of Spanish-style fine dining has been transformed into a fine drinking establishment with some fantastic bites that transported me to Barcelona. There was balance, simplicity and elegance to every dish we sampled, thanks to chef Luis Quant, who trained with stellar talent Jordi Valles.
Often packed three deep, the bar has the congenial atmosphere of a house party. The bartenders mix, muddle, shake and pour cocktails including a gin and tonic made with Martin Miller's gin and bright, minerally Fever Tree tonic. With more than 70 wines by the bottle, a solid selection by the glass plus complex sangrias, there is plenty here for grape lovers as well. Add beers from around the world, and no one goes away thirsty. A stool at the bar, a glass of amontillado, a plate of tangy mahon cheese and slices of only the best Cinco Jotas Jamón Ibérico could make a girl happy.

There's some sort of postseason going on, Stephen Curry is flying through the air, Klay Thompson is luckily OK after a Vincent Van Gough scare, there's only two teams left… but all of that is less exciting to us than the new blood to enter the 2015-16 Fantasy player pool! As we've done for the second straight year (is two years considered a tradition yet?!), Slim and I mocked the first round of the 2015 NBA Draft by alternating picks for their respective teams with a fantasy outlook for each rook. 2014 didn't… um… go quite to plan. But hey! We got a couple right and this year doesn't quite offer the top-to-bottom talent as 2014. With a little bit more of an even playing field, I have a feeling this Draft will feature even more trades and more surprising risers and fallers… Hopefully we get a good portion of the lottery right! The optimist in me is ready ta go! Here's our 2015 Mock NBA Draft:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Tobias Harris
As the regular season comes to an end, we're going to take a look at injuries heading into next season. Even if you're not playing in a keeper or dynasty league, it's never too early to begin to think about next season.
Kevin Durant was one of the biggest disappointments in this year's draft. What makes Durant such a fantasy stud is not only his ability to fill up the stat sheet, but his durability. Prior to this season, KD missed only 16 games over his first seven years in the league. That's quite a track record for good health.
Heading into this season, Durant was recovering from surgery to repair a Jones fracture in his right foot. The injury wasn't supposed to be long term (an initial 6-8 week timetable) so Durant was still drafted in the first and second rounds with an ADP of 12. Unfortunately, Durant continued to have recurring pain in his foot, before eventually being shut down in March.
Despite his inability to recover from foot pain this season, KD should be a top five pick heading into next season. What makes me think that he'll finally get over this injury?Please, blog, may I have some more?
You don't mess with the Bojan!
We're into week 2 of the standard H2H playoffs, moving into the semis, and the squads with bye weeks are hoping to avoid the layover letdown. It's like the NCAA Football championship thingy, the playoffs or bracket or 4-team finals or whatnot, who knows anymore?! But they have to wait like 4 months from their final regular season game to the title! That's how long this week has seemed for my sitting around, lazy, bored bye week teams (speaking vicariously of course, I had zero!). Luckily it's now how you enter the playoffs but how you exit, and with only two weeks left, you gotta ride the hot ThrAGNOFs! Bojan Bogdanovic fits the bill to a T (did I say that right?) with 12+ points in 4 straight and 17+ in 3 of 4. Also has chipped in multi-treys in the past 3 and if treys or points are a need, it's time to ThrAGNOF! Why you don't pay for these guys, as they literally grow on trees. Seriously, Bogdanovic's great uncle was Groot. Here's what else went down over the weekend in fantasy basketball action:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Wow, big upset last night as the Pistons beat the Gizz 105-95. I had "Grizz" typoed but laughed too hard to fix it…
And leading the way in running the Gizz out of Detroit was Reggie Jackson's Goromotaro! Well, not really, 20/20 in Pts/Dimes doesn't have an official Razzball name… 20 dimes is a double dimebag though! Wait, no one gets those, it goes up to a quarter… Can't really complain that R-Jax didn't get to 25 assists, but yeah, focus JB! I wonder what could've flared up my ADD!
With my boyfriend Kentavious Caldwell-Pope hitting so many shots (not doing much else though in a 24/0/1/0/0 line), making 10-16 FG and scoring 16 Pts in the 3rd quarter, R-Jax piled up a ton of dimes on jumpers. In the 3rd alone he had 6 dimes on 20+ foot FGM – 4 to KCP. Helps when your fellow shooters are hot! Just ask Stephen Curry how his season is going… R-Jax has certainly had his ups and downs, and didn't even have a single assist against the Jazz on Saturday! I wanna say it was all due to Rudy Gobert, but if he was D-ing up R-Jax then Dante Exum would be on Andre Drummond! I'm not depending on high-volume dimes here on out, but when R-Jax is in his lows, remember he was a pickup for a lot of his owners. So just thank your lucky stars for last night and enjoy the wave without putting the R-Jax on the pedestal, the underlining message from The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Or else you let the Gizz win! Here's what else went down last night in fantasy basketball action:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Oh man, not a fun night for Mark Cuban unless he's also invested in the Dallas area sports medicine clinics. The way the NBA has gone this year, it'd be a smart investment!
First into the Shark Tank was Tyson Chandler, who sprained his ankle a minute and half in and couldn't return. He had an earlier ankle sprain and it didn't cost him any time, so even though it looked bad, ol' Tyson is no Chicken. Then a mere couple minutes later, Monta Ellis hurt his hip and only played 3 and a half minutes. As Kevin tells us in The Office – "That's Dallas!" Man, good thing the All-Star Break is right around the corner! Even if both guys say they're 100%, I see no reason why the Mavs would push em for their game tomorrow night hosting the Jazz. While they're out, we're a bunch of preying sharks circling the bloody waters like Mr. Wonderful and Herjavec! And last night it was the hairless ghost (wait, ghosts usually don't have hair right?) of Charlie Villanueva who piled up some junky stats hitting 9-13 from the field for 26/5/1 with 5 treys. Was awful other than points and treys with 3-6 FT and 4 TO. Big man ThrAGNOF! But for me, the big winner for tomorrow night is Mark Cuban's own (seriously, kinda seems like he's his dad – Shawn Marion comp?) Al-Farouq Aminu. Only 19 minutes last night, but hit all the cats for 5/6/1/1/1. Mark Cuban Jr. is only owned in 10% of Yahoo leagues, and in a shortened week where every steal and block will count, he should be one of your first calls on the wire in what should be a spot-start. Here's what else went down last night in fantasy hoops action:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Oh boy, more injuries to studs and more teams scrambling…
Sometime before the weekend, Blake Griffin had a fairly routine (and he's had a few) elbow draining. Blake's draining jumpers, the team docs are draining elbows! But over the weekend the elbow developed a staph infection, and he'll have surgery and won't be evaluated until after the All-Star Break. Blake is firing off jumpers and the team docs are about to be fired! Reports are saying it could be a 4-6 week sort of thing, but with staph infections you never know. Either way, he's an obvious hold in all leagues. While Blake goes all Leo McGarry on us, Samurai Spencer Hawes and his little hair bun went 17/1/0/0/1 on 7-16 shooting with two treys in 35 minutes. Samurai Spence should be an add in virtually all leagues, as his mix of scoring/treys/blocks can help a lot of teams. Sure he won't board almost at all for a big with DeAndre Jordan swallowing em all up, but we can ignore that. Kinda like how Denis McDonough ignored that second "n" in his first name. What is it with "Mc" real-life and fictional Chiefs of Staph?! I bet the Oval Office whisky is well stocked… Here's what else went down over the weekend in fantasy basketball action:Please, blog, may I have some more?
From the depth of 90s video games, crossed with the beastly rancor of Joakim Noah (can you use rancor as an adjective? is that even the right part of speech?!), it's the Goromotaro! An epic performance of 20/20 needed a name, but ever since Joakim pulled off a few back in the day, he hasn't scored 20 points in like… a million years. Hasn't yet this year! Shocking he's scored double digits in only 2 of the past 19… But I digress…
The way things have looked the past month, Goromotaro might need a name or image change to feature Hassan Whiteside! Dude is hitting the glass harder than Cheech at a bong-only party. 24/20/0/3/2 last night for his first career Goro. Not that he hasn't been close! Had a 23/16 and a 16/24 in there. Unreal! There's only been 23 20+ board games this year, and Whiteside is two of them and has only 8 starts! Whiteside has the 7th Goro this year (the others belonging to Kenneth Faried, Zach Randolph, DeAndre Jordan, Andre Drummond, Pau Gasol and… you ready for this…? Jason Thompson!), and as good as those guys are (well, minus Thompson), I'd put good money on Whiteside being the first with multiple. He's also 73% from the stripe his past 13 games! Getting a little unreal out there, and the 4 TO last night were very fluky – especially one on an inbounding violation that was totally Norris Cole's fault. Cole tried handing it back to Whiteside after he tossed it in during an odd, weird lack of awareness that cost the Heat the game! I'm pretty sure it was a play ran to perfection from the Larry Drew playbook… Here's what else went down last night across the NBA:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Man, who woulda thought the Bucks without Brandon Knight (sat with minor injuries) would've been able to beat the Raptors last night?! I figured that big Jurassic Park reboot trailer during the Super Bowl would have pumped the Raps up! Well, I guess Canadians don't really watch the Super Bowl, so their loss!
And while the 82-75 win was a defensive grinder, it didn't slow down that impressive O from The Duchess K Middleton! 25/9/1/3/0 for Khris Middleton, hitting 10-17 FG (3-4 3PTM 2-2 FT) and only 1 TO. All that with Jorge Gutierrez as the fill-in starting PG! It didn't matter though, since they had a JB waiting in the wings as well… But more there later. With 25 Pts last night, K-Midd is 17+ points in 4 of 5 and 3+ treys in 4 of 5. And multi-steals in 4 of 5 for good measure as well! Even though a lot of the counting stats are lower than the breakout last year, so are the minutes and the %s are much better. But my favorite leap is 1.0 steals in 30 minutes last year to a whopping 1.5 in only 26 this year. The Duchess is secretly a world-class thief! I think Keira Knightley could star in that movie. Larry Drew could be the evil drug lord! Maybe Ersan Ilyasova can be a Turkish arms dealer. The script is writing itself! Here's what else went down last night in fantasy basketball action:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Well, yet another example of why a starting nod doesn't equate to production, even for seemingly good players…
The Bulls got embarrassed last night in LA, with Nikola Mirotic getting the start at SF. It was disastrous before, and twas disastrous again! Only got 12 minutes and did nothing other than get a steal and a turnover, and it looks like old Tibs wasn't too happy. The ghost of Carlos Boozer shoved Mirotic around on a layup and he just isn't a good defender – why we saw another healthy dose of Tony Snell. Even in a 2OT game, Tibs didn't let Mirotic off the bench! Went small instead with Kirk Hinrich and Aaron Brooks picking up more PT late and in the OTs. And ultimate insult to injury – the Bulls still lost. But it was really Derrick Rose's fault as he continues to lay brickhouses on top of batches and batches of turnovers. He's like a Martha Stewart version of The Big Bad Wolf! And the Bulls should've pulled this one out since the Lakers continually refuse to play their best player… Tarik Black! Outrageous! Egregious! Opprobrious! (thank you Thesaurus) Black is an MVP waiting to happen… Here's what else went down last night in fantasy basketball action:Please, blog, may I have some more?
What is going on out there?! Stupid Northern teams… I can't remember Toronto ever canceling games because of snow!
Both Portland at Brooklyn and Sacramento at New York ended up getting postponed as this foreign concept of "snow" began "falling" from the sky. These New Yorkers have no idea what goes on outside of their bubble! Damn, we got snow, we got fires canceling games like in Mexico City last year… Game of Basketball: A Song of Ice and Fire. Well, of course there's the game missed from all those players, but the blizzard that's rolling in could cause another postponed game or two. Basketball all the sudden is as dependent on weather as those "other" sports… Once all of the inclement weather has blown over and all the games that need to be cancelled have been nixed, then we've got the big variable – rescheduling. And for H2H leagues, that could mean some big changes to the H2H playoff schedule. We already know Kings/Nets will be March 3rd, but Blazers/Nets will be April 6th, the first Monday of week 24 if your playoffs go that deep. Somehow both were scheduled right before and after the standard H2H playoffs! NBA schedule makers are fantasy players… But any further reschedules could become impactful if they happen March 16-April 5 (weeks 21-23). It will throw Slim's incredibly awesome playoff breakdown for a loop! Seriously though, that shizz is gold… Here's what else went down last night in fantasy basketball:Please, blog, may I have some more?

A little gem in soho we really enjoyed the vibe the service and food, toasted manti ... Wow delicious, it was our highlight ... Would defiantly recommend this cafe
3 Days in New York City
New York City Off the Beaten Path
The Big Apple Guide - Unique and Customizable
Great food and service! Really enjoyed our visit. It's super popular so you may need to wait for a seat.
Loved it. I don't usually like Bloody Marys, but these were incredible. The food is very good too. We went on a Sunday at 13.00 and had to wait 45min, so be prepared. The place is too small for its popularity, but I think it's worth it
The mushrooms, the mushrooms and the mushrooms. The leeks with cheese and The asparagus. It was a true adventure and. We love d it all. It's a smaller restaurant with a well trained wait staff. Excellent small restaurant
The toasted manti is a must have...the pork chops a milanese was also very very good.This restaurant is a little surprise tucked in 1st St in Soho. Dessert was a bit disappointing, though - almond ice cream was bland. It is necessary to reserve.
Been awhile since last meal, but did not disappoint. Dined on grilled brazini with green cabbage as side while spouse chose batter dipped pork chop with charred carrots and beets. Both were extraordinary especially the brazini skin in lemon with sea salt. Service remains hip with intimate atmosphere.
I liked the service, especially the charming bartender but the food was just not good. The Pork Chop Milanese was greasy and tasted like it was cooked in old oil. The branzino was overcooked. I'd wanted to eat here for a long time and I was SO disappointed. The passionate chef that wrote that wonderful book has left the building.
The brunch here is top-notch and it is no secret. You will often wait up to an hour for the privilege of dining here. Eggs benedict fantastic, the potatoes fantastic, the carbonara fantastic. I think you get the point.
I take no joy in writing a bad review. In fairness I try and find the good bits, so I'll start with that. My black rice and confit duck was passable. That's it.
The non confit duck part of my dish was still quacking. Severely underdone and like chewing gum. We were given serrated knives but we both still struggled....
We've been hearing about Prune for years and finally went last week. Although it is small, does not have a very extensive menu and is not a very fancy place, no tablecloths, all the food was very flavorful and had big flavors. The deserts were very simple. We had the cold candied orange which was so refreshing that we went...

Slug is a zinc-finger neural crest transcription factor, encoded by the SLUG gene, which is critical for development of hematopoietic stem cells, germ cells, and melanoblasts in the mouse. In mouse, heterozygous and homozygous slug mutations result in anemia, infertility, white forehead blaze, and depigmentation of the ventral body, tail, and feet. This phenotype is very similar to the heterozygous W (KIT)-mutant mouse phenotype and to human piebaldism, which is characterized by a congenital depigmented patches and poliosis (white forelock). To investigate the possibility that some cases of human piebaldism might result from abnormalities of the human SLUG (SNAI2) gene, we carried out Southern blot analysis of the SLUG gene in 17 unrelated patients with piebaldism, who lack apparent KIT mutations. Three of these patients had evident heterozygous deletions of the SLUG gene encompassing the entire coding region. Real-time PCR confirmed the deletion in all cases. Fluoresence in situ hybridization (FISH) of genomic SLUG probes to metaphase chromosomes independently confirmed the deletion in one of the cases. These findings indicate that some cases of human piebaldism result from mutation of the SLUG gene on chromosome 8, and provide further strong evidence for the role of SLUG in the development of human melanocytes. © 2003 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Keepin' Things Real: Loss and Dr. SeussMay 21, 2015
As a child (Jena) growing up, my mother made sure that everything was an opportunity for celebration. She made every holiday and special day a day to be remembered. It made the one being celebrated feel so special. When I became a mother myself, I carried on my mother's tradition and influence to make every event a memorable celebration for my husband and children. Every party is often extravagant because I want them to know how very special they are. I call it "making memories".

I'm working on my first Django app that already uses Pusher's service for some parts in my site - it works great.
I would like to add a notification app for Android, which will alert a registered user about a new activity regarding to that specific user.
I would like to know:
1) What is the best way to implement that? Should I use Pusher for this as well or should I use Google's push services (or maybe another service?)? What will be the easiest?
2) How will the Android app user get authenticated to Django? How will the app 'know' if the user is logged in using the device's browser at the same time and no notifications should be sent?
I'm new to Android. If someone could answer / describe the general architecture / lead to a proper documentation it would be wonderful.

Wanted: inner-city supermarkets
A fresh idea brings healthy food to low-income neighborhoods.
Courtesy of David Adler/The Food Trust
Grocer Jeff Brown put a lot of sweat into his ShopRite supermarket in inner-city Philadelphia: He built a pork-free meat room for Muslim customers, stocked the aisles with the Jamaican and African cuisine that neighbors requested, and taught job skills to the hires new to the workforce.
Despite skyrocketing commodity prices, Mr. Brown says the store ŌĆō a venture that he never could have opened without a loan from PennsylvaniaŌĆÖs Fresh Food Financing Initiative ŌĆō is making money.
BrownŌĆÖs ShopRite is more than just a driver of urban development. ItŌĆÖs part of a major public-health program aimed at squashing obesity and related concerns such as heart disease and diabetes.
ŌĆ£There arenŌĆÖt any other supermarkets within two to three miles,ŌĆØ he says. Without his store, the patrons ŌĆ£would probably eat at McDonaldŌĆÖs or shop at a drug store or the dollar store for food ŌĆō none healthy or fresh.ŌĆØ
PennsylvaniaŌĆÖs Fresh Food Financing Initiative (FFFI) is believed to be the nationŌĆÖs only statewide public-private funding initiative dedicated to opening grocery stores in underserved areas. In three years, the $120 million fund has provided ŌĆ£gap financingŌĆØ ŌĆō money beyond what a grocer normally could receive in grants and loans ŌĆō to open or update 52 supermarkets statewide, creating some 4,000 jobs in the process.
From its inception, the plan has been admired by policy experts for its merging of economic and public-health innovations. But as gasoline and food prices continue to rise, the FFFI is attracting increased attention.
ŌĆ£What people are forced to do in some communities is travel to supermarkets in suburban locations, and the cost of gasoline has risen dramatically,ŌĆØ says Ken Klothen, a deputy secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development, the state arm of the partnership.
Diet was the main concern in 2002 when an employee of the Food Trust ŌĆō a Philadelphia group dedicated to increasing access to healthy, affordable food ŌĆō stopped state Rep. Dwight Evans on his evening walk. Public health and economic development initiatives existed in many low-income Philadelphia areas. But the ends werenŌĆÖt meeting, and residentsŌĆÖ food shopping options were still drugstores, expensive corner shops, or fast food.
ŌĆ£We hadnŌĆÖt had a real policy about food access that was coherent, and the big challenges are the issue of obesity, the generation of jobs, and community transformation,ŌĆØ Mr. Evans says.
Convinced a grocery store initiative could be an answer, Evans persuaded the governor to establish the FFFI with $10 million included in a 2005 stimulus bill, followed by another $10 million in 2006 and in 2007.
The Reinvestment Fund, a private nonprofit lender and investor in low-income communities, was tapped to manage the fund. The Food Trust and the Greater Philadelphia Urban Affairs Coalition round out the partnership.
Public-private state initiatives can be hard to manage, says Steve Goldsmith, a former mayor of Indianapolis and professor at Harvard UniversityŌĆÖs Kennedy School of Government. Mr. Goldsmith heads a Harvard awards program for policy innovations, in which the FFFI is a finalist. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs often very complex, and the fact that public money was flexible and the private sector was involved looking at riskŌĆØ in this dual-purpose initiative is intriguing.
Part of that flexibility required delving more deeply than conventional market analysis to assure the grocers that low-income areas could sustain a supermarket. In its own study, the Food Trust used population density figures and local spending data ŌĆō rather than median household income, a more common tool ŌĆō to estimate that PhiladelphiaŌĆÖs inner-city communities hold at least $50 million of retail buying power per mile.
FFFIŌĆÖs gap financing covers grocersŌĆÖ operating needs. For example, Brown needed help paying for security and training ŌĆō such costs for inner-city stores are much higher than those for the suburban shops that he owns. And in this case, Brown says that he canŌĆÖt pass the costs on to customers. ŌĆ£There would be no way to do this. These are customers with very modest means,ŌĆØ he says.
BrownŌĆÖs ShopRite opened alongside several large stores, creating 900 jobs just in that one neighborhood, he says. ŌĆ£Which means 900 families can buy food and get off of welfare,ŌĆØ Brown says. (Most of his employees live in the local community.)
Mr. Klothen notes that thereŌĆÖs still work to be done. For one, many of the new jobs earn enough money to feed an individual, but still not enough to support a whole family.
Nonetheless, most observers, including Klothen, agree the project is a success.
While several cities have their own supermarket programs, FFFIŌĆÖs success has sparked a slew of cities and states contacting Representative Evans and plan partners about replicating the program ŌĆō an idea they embrace.
ŌĆ£When you get going, it really works,ŌĆØ Klothen says. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a good role for government to play ŌĆō making it possible for the private sector to do what it does best and canŌĆÖt do without gap financing.ŌĆØ

Park City Ghost ToursRead MorePark City was founded as a mining town, filled with miners that purportedly drank, gambled, frequented brothels, and committed crimes. Park City Ghost Tours' guides delve into this illicit history during 70-minute walking tours. They investigate the sites most known for hauntings and chills while relaying the harrowing history of each. Tours begin nightly at 8 p.m., when the sun is thoroughly below the horizon and it gets harder to tell the difference between a zombie and a parking meter.415 Main St.Park City, UT US
Visit Salt LakeRead MoreIt can be tough to visit dinosaurs and outer space in the same day without a time machine and a rocket ship. But Visit Salt Lake's Connect Pass provides a loophole. It grants access to 13 Utah attractions, encouraging families to explore Salt Lake City and beyond. Those using the Connect Pass can see savings of up to 80% on combined admission costs. At Clark Planetarium, for example, visitors go far beyond the Great Salt Lake and Earth itself, becoming dwarfed by the cosmos inside the Dome Theatre. The Leonardo Museum brings them back to civilization by merging science and creativity with exhibits such as Body Worlds: Animal Inside Out and a Pixel Playland where kids can manipulate electronic artwork. Other venues emphasize the beauty and fun found in the natural landscapes of our home planet. Red Butte Garden's 100 acres of local flowers, plants, and trees includes scenic hiking trails, whereas the Utah Olympic Parks lets you choose one of three outdoor adventure courses. And, for those intrigued by animals, Utah's Hogle Zoo presents wildlife that ranges from big cats to sea lions who nuzzle their keepers, similar to the dinosaurs at The Museum of Ancient Life.3003 N Thanksgiving WayLehi, UT US
Adventure HausRead MoreAdventure Haus uncovers the excitement hidden in Utah's landscape year-round with wilderness excursions that make use of the land, water, and air. During the warmer months, guides take guests horseback riding around the verdant Wasatch Mountains, whitewater rafting down the foamy currents of the Weber River, or on a hot-air balloon flight to visit Utah's only cloud museum. When winter's wind puts a sting in the air, the activities shift to cover everything from a tranquil snowshoeing hike to a 60-second adrenaline-pumping bobsled ride down Salt Lake City's Olympic course, where an experienced driver accelerates passengers up to 80 miles per hour. In addition to leading outings, Adventure Haus also helps people set off on their own by renting out equipment ranging from mountain bikes and boats to skis and snowboards.784 Resort Dr.Midway, UT US
Heber Valley RailroadRead MoreAs if it were the turn of the 20th century, when short-line railroads chugged their way through rural America, the Heber Valley Railroad whisks passengers through scenic landscapes in vintage and restored coaches. The routes trace the original Denver & Rio Grande Western railroad, trundling across the floor of the eponymous valley. Their scenic tours unveil breathtaking views of Deer Creek Reservoir, Provo Canyon, and Provo River, crossing the same scenery that travelers would have spotted a century ago. With heated coaches in the winter, guests enjoy an old-timey experience without sacrificing modern comfort.450 S 600 WHeber City, UT US
Ice CastlesRead MoreOprah.com called Brent Christensen's Silverthorne Ice Castle "a cavernous, surreal-looking place that looks as if it were constructed by an army of icy elves." The original Ice Castle was much smaller than that Brent's current palatial work, though?it was an ice rink Brent built in his backyard, complete with a cave, an ice slide, and a 20-foot tower. Brent's kids affectionately nicknamed it "The Ice Castle," but it was child's play compared to the three palatial sculptures he and his team have built this year. Scattered across the country, the mazes of towers, tunnels, and caverns are all built from solid ice, one icicle at a time; Brent and his team farm their own icicles for these projects, at a rate of more than 5,000 per day.2002 Soldier Hollow RdMidway, UT US
Rocky Mountain FlyboardRead MoreWater is a powerful compound. It can carve deep canyons, power hydroelectric plants, or even give people superhuman abilities. The latter feat is accomplished aboard Rocky Mountain Flyboard's water-propulsion flying machines, which lift pilots in the air, let them dive into the water, or allow them to perform advanced tricks such as back flips.Deer Creek ReservoirMidway, UT US

A closure device for a plastic container includes a liner and a plastic closure. The liner is sealed to the neck of the bottle at the end face of the neck and along a portion of the outer surface of the neck. The plastic closure engages the liner to retain the liner against the neck during sealing and to seal the area between the liner and the closure top from liquids present during cooling of the container. The closure includes a top wall, an annular closure skirt depending from the top wall, an annular outer flexible seal depending from the top wall, and at least one annular pressure ring. The outer flexible seal retains an outer edge of the liner against the outer surface of the container neck and prevents ingress of liquids. The annular pressure ring engages the liner to retain the liner against the end face of the neck during sealing.
1. A method of providing a container with contents, the method comprising:
(a) providing a plastic container including a cylindrical neck, the neck having an inner neck surface, a neck end face, and an outer neck surface, the outer neck surface including at least one external thread;
(b) providing the container with contents, the contents being at an elevated temperature;
(c) providing a liner on a neck of the container;
(d) providing a plastic closure on the liner and container, the plastic closure comprising:
(i) a top wall;
(ii) an annular closure skirt depending from the top wall, the closure skirt having at least one internal thread cooperating with the external thread on the outer neck surface to retain the closure on the container;
(iii) an annular outer flexible seal depending from the top wall engaging the liner; and
(iv) at least one annular pressure ring depending from the top wall, engaging the liner to retain the liner against the neck end face;
(e) sealing the liner to the container neck; and
(f) cooling the container and contents by exposing the container to water.
2. The method according to
3. The method according to
4. The method according to
The present invention relates to container closures, and in particular to closures for use with containers which are hot filled, sealed, and exposed to moisture.
Many containers or packages, for example those filled with certain foods, are filled at elevated temperatures, or "hot filled." In the hot filling process, the product is to introduced to the container at a temperature which can kill bacteria in the product as well as bacteria on the interior surface of the container. In this manner, the food inside the container is sterilized without any pretreatment of the container, increasing manufacturing efficiency. After hot filling, containers may be capped and passed through a cooling bath to drop the temperature of the product. The cooling bath can be, for example, a submersion tank filled with water or a cooling tunnel housing a water spray.
Glass containers and metal closures have been employed in the hot filling of a variety of products. When these are used, the interior top surface of the metal closure may be coated with a closure lining compound such as plastisol. The process of cooling the heated product tends to reduce the pressure inside the container, creating a partial vacuum effect. This vacuum retains the metal closure tightly against the glass container neck, and the lining compound then effectively seals the contents of the container from spoilage. The lining compound also prevents water from migrating into the container, which may be drawn into the container from the cooling bath due to the vacuum created as the container and contents are cooled. While glass containers are effective, however, they are much more expensive than equivalent plastic containers, and are of course relatively fragile. Similarly, metal closures are relatively expensive and can rust or otherwise degrade.
Accordingly, it is desirable to employ plastic containers and closures that may be hot-filled. However, when plastic containers and closures are employed, it is difficult to utilize a closure lining compound, because curing these compounds typically requires exposure to temperatures which would melt or otherwise degrade the plastics. As a result, a different method of sealing the product must be used. One alternative sealing mechanism is a liner, such as a foil liner, which is sealed to the face of a container neck. Sealing liners are especially advantageous when contents may be stored for long terms, for example while food products are shipped, stored, and displayed on shelves.
As noted above, the process of filling at elevated temperatures, sealing the container, and cooling the container tends to draw water under the closure top. Unlike the liner compound of a metal closure, however, which is bonded to the top wall of the closure, a foil liner is generally bonded to the container neck. As a result, the area between the foil liner and the top wall of the closure may be accessible to moisture. This arrangement may promote water migration between the inner surface of the top wall and the outer surface of the liner. The presence of water in this area is undesirable due to potential growth of bacteria and molds, which may occur over time as the product is shipped and stored. This growth may be particularly significant given that the cooling bath water is normally not purified.
In order to prevent water migration, some known closure systems provide a secondary liner to obstruct water, for example a liner of polyolefin foam or a compression molded gasket made from thermoplastic rubber. These types of closures rely on compression of the secondary system to prevent water ingress. The addition and compression of the secondary liner, however, require additional closure elements and additional manufacturing steps, adding to the cost of the closure. Moreover, to the extent that these materials are porous or absorbent, bacterial growth may nevertheless occur. The prior art has therefore not provided a plastic closure for use with hot-filled plastic containers that effectively prevents water migration and bacterial growth between a container liner and the inside surface of the closure.
The present invention provides a closure system for a plastic container, which includes a liner and a plastic closure. The liner can be, for example, induction sealed to the neck of a container at the end face of the neck and, for example, along an outer surface of the neck. The plastic closure may engage the liner to retain the liner against the neck during induction sealing and to seal the area between the liner and the closure top against migration of liquids. The closure preferably includes a closure top wall, an annular closure skirt depending from the top wall, an annular outer flexible seal depending from the top wall, and at least one annular pressure ring. The outer flexible seal can optionally retain an outer edge of the liner against the outer surface of the container neck and minimize ingress of liquids. The annular pressure ring may engage the liner to retain the liner against the end face of the neck during induction sealing and prior to removal of the closure.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of an exemplary embodiment of a closure system according to the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a second exemplary embodiment of a closure system according to the present invention.
FIG. 3 is another cross-sectional view of a container and closure system according to the present invention.
FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary embodiment of a closure system according to the present invention. In general, the closure system may include, for example, a plastic container with a plastic container neck 10, a plastic closure 20, and a liner 40. Preferably the container neck 10 includes at least one external thread 12, but any suitable type of engagement formation may be employed to retain the closure 20 on the container neck 10. The container neck 10 is also preferably cylindrical, but any suitable shape may be employed. In the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 1, the container neck 10 includes an inner neck surface 14, a neck end face 16, and an outer neck surface 18. In accordance with the present invention, the container neck 10 (and preferably the entire container) is advantageously made of plastic. While any suitable plastic may be used, the container is preferably made of polyethylene terephthalate (commonly referred to as "PET") or a high-density polyethylene. Another advantageous container construction is a multilayer barrier, which may include several layers of materials. Preferred materials for this type of container include those materials above and, for example, nylon or polypropylene. Preferably such containers are produced by either extrusion blow molding or injection stretch blow molding, although any suitable process may be used. The provision of a plastic container provides advantageous manufacturing and handling benefits, allowing for effective storage of the product with improved benefits over a glass container.
The closure system of the present invention includes a liner 40, which is capable of being induction sealed to the container neck 10. The liner 40 may be constructed of any suitable material, but preferably is a metal foil such as aluminum with a heat sealant facing, along with a backing. The backing may be, for example, polyester or polyolefin foam, but may also be the same material used for the container. The latter arrangement is particularly suitable for the induction sealing process, as induction sealing of like materials can form an excellent bond.
In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, liner 40 is primarily sealed, for example, to neck end face 16. In addition, however, an annular outer ring 42 of the liner 40 is sealed to the outer neck surface 18. This phrasing ("sealed to the outer neck surface 18") includes configurations (like that of FIG. 1) in which the outer ring 42 is sealed, for example, to just an upper portion of outer neck surface 18. In addition, an annular inner ring 44 of the liner 40 may engage and, for example, be sealed to the inner neck surface 14. This phrasing likewise includes configurations in which the inner ring 44 engages only an upper portion of the inner neck surface 14. It should also be understood that outer ring 42 and inner ring 44 need not include any special construction or physical demarcation. Rather, outer and inner rings 42 and 44 are preferably of unitary construction with the remainder of liner 40, the rings 42 and 44 being designated and numbered herein for purposes of clarity only. Where sealing on the inner or outer neck surfaces 14 and 18 is desired, the liner 40 is preferably circular in shape with a diameter slightly greater than the diameter of the container neck.
FIG. 1 also illustrates a plastic closure 20 according to a first exemplary embodiment of a closure system according to the present invention. In this embodiment the closure 20 includes a closure top wall 22 and a closure skirt 24. The closure skirt 24 depends, for example, from the outer edge of top wall 22. Preferably top wall 22 is circular in shape and the closure skirt 24 is annular (i.e., substantially cylindrical) in shape. The skirt 24 includes, for example, one or more internal threads 26 that cooperate with the external thread 12 of the container neck 10. As noted above, any suitable formation may be provided to retain the closure 20 on the container neck 10, and the term "internal thread" 26 should be read to include these other formations.
Closure 20 includes at least two other formations which depend, for example, from closure top wall 22: an outer flexible seal 30 and at least one pressure ring 34. Annular pressure ring 34 may have a triangular or trapezoidal cross-section, and may assist the induction sealing of liner 40 to container neck 10. Generally, it is advantageous to maintain contact between the liner 40 and neck 10 during sealing. It is often difficult to achieve satisfactory contact, however, by engaging the liner 40 with the flat closure top wall 22, because the force from the top wall 22 is spread over the entire surface of, for example, neck end face 16. When heat is applied during induction sealing, the top wall 22 may deform upward and allow the liner 40 to shift upward. By including one or more annular pressure rings 34, the force applied by the top wall 22 may be concentrated over a much smaller surface area, thereby increasing the pressure applied to the liner 40. By applying such concentrated pressure, contact between the liner 40 and the container neck 10 is maintained, so that the liner 40 may not shift upward. Also, because the melting temperature of a solid decreases as the pressure applied to the solid increases, the concentrated pressure applied by pressure ring 34 lowers the melting point of the backing and the neck end face 16. Induction sealing of these elements therefore occurs at lower temperatures, providing manufacturing advantages.
While annular pressure ring 34 improves sealing, for example induction sealing, it often does not form an adequate seal between the closure 20 and the liner 40 after induction sealing. This inadequacy can result from the high temperatures associated with the induction sealing process. As the liner 40 and surrounding areas, including pressure ring 34, are heated, the pressure ring 34 can deform. Given the high upward pressure exerted on the lower edge of the pressure ring 34 by the neck end face 16 (through liner 40), the pressure ring 34 can deform upward and flatten out. As a result, pressure ring 34 can engage liner 40 imperfectly after induction sealing, and even small imperfections could permit water to penetrate the area between the liner 40 and the closure top wall 22 during cooling.
In accordance with the present invention, outer flexible seal 30 is provided to enhance the seal between the closure top 22 and the liner 40. Annular outer flexible seal 30 can assist during induction sealing of the liner 40 by retaining the outer ring 42 against the outer neck surface 18. However, outer flexible seal 30 does not unduly plastically deform during the sealing process. Rather, the tensile strength (i.e., "hoop strength") of the outer flexible seal 30 and. its flexibility allow the outer flexible seal 30 to maintain a seal against outer ring 42 and outer neck surface 18. This seal exists even after induction sealing and during cooling. Accordingly, outer flexible seal 30 prevents the migration of water into the area between the closure top 22 and the liner 40.
An annular inner flexible seal 32 may also be provided, as illustrated in FIG. 1. Inner flexible seal 32 contacts inner ring 44 to provide an additional seal against water migration. In one embodiment, inner flexible seal 32 may force the inner ring 44 against the inner neck surface so that the inner ring 44 may be sealed to inner neck surface, while in another embodiment the inner flexible seal 32 may simply contact the liner 40 to form a resilient seal between the two.
Preferably outer flexible seal 30 extends radially outwardly at an angle as it extends down from top wall 22. This outward angle helps, for example, in centering the closure 20 on the neck 10 as the closure 20 is applied. The outward angle also ensures, for example, a tight seal between the closure 20 and liner 40 and neck 10. Similarly, inner flexible seal 32 may extend radially inwardly at an angle as it extends down from top wall 22. This inward orientation provides the same advantages as the outward orientation of outer flexible seal 30. Preferably outer flexible seal 30 and inner flexible seal 32 are constructed at an angle approximately 10 to 45 � from the vertical. Both seals 30 and 32 are preferably thin in cross-section as illustrated in FIG. 1, for example rectangular or otherwise oblong. Other configurations may be employed, however. For example, each could have a more triangular cross-section if greater rigidity were desired, or each could be constructed in the form of one or more annular "crab's claws."
Closure 20 may be constructed from any suitable type of plastic and may be produced using any suitable process. Preferably, however, closure 20 is constructed of polypropylene or high-density polyethylene. Normally it is not possible to construct both the backing of liner 40 and the closure 20 from the same type of material, because the two elements might then be sealed together during an induction sealing process. In this context, however, the closure 20 according to the present invention provides an additional advantage. Because the outer ring 42 of the liner 40 is depressed by outer flexible seal 30, outer ring 42 may not fold upward or otherwise errantly contact closure 20. The risk of accidental sealing of the liner 40 to the closure 20 is therefore minimized. Accordingly, a closure 20 according to the present invention is not limited in the type of materials used as are prior art closures, a feature that may provide particular advantages depending on the specifications required by a particular application.
FIG. 2 illustrates a second exemplary embodiment of a closure system according to the present invention. In this embodiment, a plurality of pressure. rings 34 are, for example, provided for sealing. The multiple pressure rings 34 allow high pressures to be applied to the liner 40 by the top wall 22, and at the same time apply the pressure to multiple areas of the liner 40 where it engages the neck end face 16. The exemplary embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2 does not include an inner flexible seal 32, although such a seal optionally may be present.
FIG. 3 illustrates an embodiment of a container and closure 20 according to the present invention, the container including container neck 10. As noted above, a container according to the present invention may be constructed in any suitable manner and include any suitable materials.
A method of filling a package according to the present invention includes providing a plastic container, which preferably includes a neck 10 as described above. The container may then be filled with desired contents, the contents being at an elevated temperature, preferably high enough to sufficiently eliminate or kill bacteria on the inner surface of the container. A liner, such as liner 40 described above, may be provided on the end face 16 of the container neck 10. A plastic closure, such as closure 20 described above, may be placed over the liner 40 and neck 10. The liner 40 may then be sealed, for example induction sealed, to the container neck 10. Then, the container and contents may be cooled. Preferably, the cooling includes placing the container in a water bath or exposing the container to a cooling shower.
While not shown in the Figures, any suitable tamper indicating mechanism may be employed in conjunction with the present invention. For example, the tamper indicating mechanism described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,595,547 or co-pending U.S. Pat. application Ser. No. 09/078,646, entitled "Tamper Indicating Closure" (both of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference) may be provided. Similarly, any suitable child-resistant feature may be included, such as the child-resistant mechanism described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,280,842, U.S. Pat. No. 5,671,853, or co-pending U.S. Pat. application Ser. No. 09/078,643, entitled "Child-Resistant Closure and Container with Tamper Indication" (all of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference).
The device according to the present invention has been described with respect to several exemplary embodiments. It can be understood, however, that there are other variations of the above-described embodiments which will be apparent to those skilled in the art, even where elements have not explicitly been designated as exemplary. For example, a plurality of pressure rings 34 may be provided with the embodiment of FIG. 1, rather than a single pressure ring 34. In addition, the closure 20 may include other formations, such as external, ridges on the skirt 24. that facilitate gripping of the closure 20 by the user. It is understood that these and other modifications are within the teaching of the present invention, which is to be defined by the claims appended hereto.

'Stop and frisk' trial provides window into NYPD
The trial exposes how the tactic creates messy and difficult encounters between police and the public
Associated Press
NEW YORK — A federal civil rights trial is in New York is providing a window into the workings of the nation's largest police force, and the often unexplainable ways officers do their jobs.
The trial seeks to reform the practice of stop, question and frisk. New York officials hail it as a program that's deterred crime by taking weapons off of would-be killers and by making crooks reconsider carrying weapons.
But the trial exposes how the tactic creates messy and difficult encounters between police and the public.
The department has made about 5 million stops in the past decade, mostly younger black and Hispanic men. Only about 10 percent were arrested and few weapons are actually recovered, leaving many of those let go feeling angry and humiliated.

Jensen Watts
Age 88, died peacefully on March 26 in Indianapolis. The son of Minda James Watts Russell, Jensen was born in Chicago, Illinois on August 6, 1925 and grew up in Clinton and Terre Haute. He played the drums in high school and discovered his love and talent for art, which would shape his future career. At 17, with his mother's consent, Jensen enlisted in the United States Navy and served on the USS Bennion destroyer during World War II. A proud military veteran, Jensen maintained lifelong friendships with several shipmates and enjoyed attending annual Bennion reunions. His military experiences during these formative years helped him become a kind, caring and compassionate husband, father, boss and friend.
Upon his return from the war, Jensen married Barbara Lee Burgan, his childhood friend and sweetheart, in 1947 and they settled in Terre Haute. In 1953, he graduated with both bachelor's and master's degrees from Indiana State University, where he also received the "Outstanding Art Student Award." A job offer to teach art in East Chicago, Indiana public schools was too good to pass up, and the couple relocated to northwest Indiana. Jensen was soon promoted to School Administrator for the East Chicago public school system and headed the art department for 39 years, while also serving as the school system's photographer. Always a hard worker, he earned another master's degree from the Illinois Institute of Technology, chaired the Indiana State Teacher's Association Art Section, provided free-lance artwork for the IBM Corporation for 25 years, and served as Project Director for the Riley Cultural and Art Center in the 1970s.
At the age of 33, Jensen was named "Outstanding Young Man of the Year" by the East Chicago Junior Chamber of Commerce and, in 1985, received the "Humanitarian Award" from the East Chicago Exchange Club for outstanding service to the community. He served on the Board of Directors of the East Chicago Salvation Army, was a member of the American Legion, Post 369 and was active in the United Methodist Men's Clubs of East Chicago and Griffith. Jensen instructed evening art classes at Calumet College and was a member of the Watercolor Society of Indiana and often entered paintings in its art exhibits, as well as sponsoring and completing several watercolor workshops.
Jensen and Barbara raised their two children in Highland and enjoyed annual family summer vacations, participating in their children's activities, and were charter members of the Buttons and Bows square dance club. Upon retirement, the couple relocated to Indianapolis in 1990, and Jensen became active in the Indianapolis Watercolor Society and was a member of Chapel Hill United Methodist Church. He will be remembered as an avid reader and creative storyteller, as demonstrated in his annual Christmas letters.
Jensen was preceded in death by Barbara, his wife of 60 years, and is survived by his children Daniel W. Watts of Indianapolis and Cynthia L. Muir of Tallahassee, Florida; three grandchildren, Adam B. Watts of Crawfordsville, Samuel W. Muir (Erin Dunn Muir) of Tavernier, Florida and Christopher L. Muir of Jacksonville, Florida; one great grandchild, Blair E. Watts; and a special friend, Louise Shank.

Pietro Grocco
Pietro Grocco (27 June 1856, Albonese - 12 February 1916, Courmayeur) was an Italian physician.
In 1879 Grocco received his medical doctorate from the University of Pavia, afterwards continuing his education in Paris and Vienna. In 1884 he was appointed director of special pathology at the University of Perugia, followed by an appointment as chair of clinical medicine at Pisa (1888).
From 1892 Grocco served as a professor in Florence, where among his many accomplishments, he founded a rabies institute.[1] In 1892 he was also named government inspector and medical director of the baths at Montecatini.
Grocco's Triangle[edit]
In 1902 he described "Grocco's triangle", a triangular area of paravertebral dullness on the side opposite a pleural effusion.[2][3] His name is also associated with "Grocco's sign", defined as acute dilatation of the heart following a muscle effort.[4]

the point where things cross into the research frontier. So, for example,
the issues raised in Joe Touch's draft RFC are good things to discuss;
but for some of them their resolution (e.g., how to share cwnd across
multiple connections) is research and needs to be dealt with in another
forum. It seems an important benefit of the WG is to highlight where
the research frontier is, too, so implementors can gauge where different
features lie.

pointer means. If I remember correctly, 793 was ambiguous (it said two
different things in two different places) and BSD picked the "wrong" one
(having just re-read it, I probably would have too). If you follow 1122, then
you disagree with BSD by one byte, which is a real pain. I don't know why the
authors of 1122 didn't just admit defeat and codify the BSD practice ;->.
