The present invention concerns an apparatus for forming slightly open shells for prewound spools of web material. More particularly, the invention concerns such apparatus which are suitable for use with photographic film or similar sensitized web materials.
A considerable variety of apparatus have been developed over the years for packaging prewound spools of web material. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 2,940,232 discloses such an apparatus for use with photographic film in which strips of film are wound on spools, after which the wound spools are inserted axially into previously formed cylindrical magazine shells to which one end cap has already been applied, the shells having axially extending lips through which the leader of the film strip extends in the familiar manner. The cap for the open end of the shell is later applied. U.S. Pat. No. 3,466,845 discloses a multistation packaging apparatus in which a bendable chipboard blank is pressed into an elongated arcuate shape having an axially extending slot through which a wound core of product can be inserted, after which end caps are applied. U.S. Pat. No. 3,586,258 shows an apparatus for winding photographic film in which a previously formed magazine is provided which has axially extending lips. The spool is automatically oriented within the magazine to permit a guide tongue to insert film through the lips and into engagement with the core of the spool, after which the film is wound onto the spool within the magazine. U.S. Pat. No. 4,080,711 discloses another apparatus in which the film is inserted into an already complete magazine and wound onto the spool within the magazine. U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,115,913 and 4,614,019 show somewhat different types of methods and apparatus for winding film and loading prewound spools into magazines, in which the magazine shells are preformed with a rather wide axially extending slot, to facilitate axial insertion of a prewound spool of film, after which the shells are closed and end caps are applied.
While automatic packaging apparatus and methods of the types just discussed have achieved a measure of acceptance and success over the years, a need has continued to exist for apparatus and methods, without sacrificing quality of the finished package or damaging the product during the packaging process. Particularly for winding and packaging photographic films and other sensitized materials which must be handled in near total darkness, a need has existed for such more productive equipment which would require a minimum of operator intervention during use.
The primary objective of the invention is to provide an improved apparatus for forming a slightly open shell into which a product can be loaded axially between axially extending lips of the shell, but which can be closed to a good right circular cylinder with minimal constraints during closing, the cylinder being suitable for installation of circular end caps.
This objective is given only by way of an illustrative example; thus, other desirable objectives and advantages inherently achieved by the disclosed apparatus of the invention may occur or become apparent to those skilled in the art. Nonetheless, the scope of the invention is to be limited only by the appended claims.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, there are provided a substantially rectangular metal blank for the side wall of a substantially cylindrical magazine for a spool, the blank having an opposed pair of axially extending lips and an opposed pair of end edges; and a mandrel having an exterior surface about which the blank may be formed. The exterior surface is uniquely configured in accordance with the invention so that when the blank is formed about the exterior surface from near one lip to near the other and the blank is then removed from the mandrel, the blank springs to a slightly open form in which the axially extending lips are spaced sufficiently far apart to permit a prewound spool or other product to pass axially between the lips. The blank is formed about the mandrel and then removed. A prewound spool or other product may then be inserted between the lips and the slightly open shell may then be closed about the spool, after which the end caps may be applied. The prewound spool may have a trailing end of web material which projects outwardly between the lips after the shell is closed; however, the method of the invention is also applicable to spools whose trailing end is contained within the magazine after the shell is closed.
In the apparatus according to the invention, a source of substantially rectangular blanks of the type previously discussed is provided. A forming mandrel is used which has an exterior surface of the type previously described. Preferably, means are provided for roll forming the blanks about the mandrel from near one axially extending lip to near the other; however, other techniques for forming about the mandrel may be used. For example, the slightly open shell may be formed by several die segments that move in radially around the mandrel, by elastomeric dies that engage the very open form shell and yield as the shell is wrapped about the mandrel or by inflatable tools which form the shell about the mandrel.
The foregoing and other objectives, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of the preferred embodiments of the invention, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

The following is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention, reference being made to the drawings in which the same reference numerals identify the same elements of structure in each of the several Figures.
FIG. 1 illustrates a known process for loading photographic film magazines. A spool 10 has been used which comprises a central core, not illustrated, on which is wound a strip 12 of photographic film. Spool 10 includes a pair of end flanges 14 from which extend hollow axial hubs 16. A preformed, round cylindrical metal shell 15 has been used which comprises a pair of axially extending lips 20c, 20t between which strip 12 is withdrawn from or wound back into the magazine in use by the consumer. These axially extending lips typically are different in geometry, lip 20c being folded or crimped back on itself and lip 20t being essentially tangent to the round cylindrical preformed shell 15. Typically, preformed shell 15 has been formed from a substantially flat rectangular blank 18, illustrated in FIG. 3, in which lips 20c, 20t have previously been formed. To prevent leakage of light into the magazine, lips 20c and 20t have for many years been covered with a lightlock material 22 such as black velvet or plush which firmly but gently engages the surfaces of the film and prevents light leakage into the magazine.
The ends of the magazine are closed by a pair of annular end caps 24, each having an aperture 2 for rotatably receiving hubs 16 and a circumferentially extending groove and flange for fixedly engaging the end edges of round preformed shell 15. Such magazines have been assembled by inserting the prewound spool of film axially into round preformed shell 15 and then applying and staking end caps 24. While this spooling and assembling process is reliable and has been rather widely used, the apparatus for practicing the process tends to be less reliable.
FIG. 2 illustrates the overall layout of the apparatus 1 according to the invention. A rigid, vertically standing face plate 114 is preferred to provide a mount for the components of the invention; however, face plate 114 may be oriented differently or replaced with a structural framework without departing from the scope of the invention. A shell blank feeding mechanism (not shown) receives substantially flat, rectangular metal blanks 18 to be formed into the cylindrical side wall of the completed magazine, each blank having been previously provided with lips 20c, 20t and lightlock strips 22. The shell blanks 18 are fed one at a time to a rotatable forming mandrel 14. As a rectangular metal blank 18 is fed into the mandrel 14, it is captured by the mandrel and is then subjected to a forming operation. During forming, a contact forming roller 168 (see FIG. 6) engages the rectangular metal blank 18 as the blank rotates through about one revolution which results in the slightly open shell 28 being formed about the mandrel 14. After the slightly open shell 28 is formed about the rotatable mandrel 14, it is allowed to spring open and is removed from the mandrel 14 by a shell removal mechanism (not shown).
Referring to FIGS. 2-11 the apparatus 1 of the invention is illustrated in various stages during the formation of a slightly open shell and positioning of the shell over a prewound spool of film at its wind station 150. In FIG. 2, the first form blanks 18 are delivered to apparatus 1 in a stack (not shown) so that the apparatus 1 can form slightly open form shells 28 at a constant rate without stopping. The bottom first form blank of the stack 18 shown in FIG. 3 is positioned in the mandrel load position 154 via a fixed nest 19. The nest 19 positions the first form blank's crimp lip 20c and tangent lip end 20t so it is aligned with the rotatable forming mandrel 14, best seen in FIGS. 3, 4 and 13. The nest 19 and first form blanks 18 are configured relative to apparatus 1 so as to clear the forming mandrel shaft 138.
According to FIG. 4, the positioned bottom first form blank 18 is pushed forward by a device (not shown) onto the rotatable forming mandrel 14 at the forming station 152.
Referring to FIG. 5, the rotatable forming mandrel 14 rotates counter clockwise (CCW) and stops when the first form blank's 18 tangent lip 20t, is loaded against fixed stop 178. At this time, the first form blank's crimp lip end 20c is also loaded against the forming mandrel datum blade 21, shown in FIG. 13, which provide an accurate means for locating and forming the open form shell 28.
FIG. 6 illustrates the forming roller 168 being engaged near the crimp lip end 20c of the first form blank 18.
In FIG. 7, the forming mandrel 14 and first form blank 18 rotate CCW again, creating a tightly wrapped formed shell 26 which is not yet sprung open. The rotatable mandrel 14 has rotated back to the same first form blank 18 load position as seen in FIG. 4.
As shown in FIG. 8, the forming roller 168 is retracted and the open form shell 28 is sprung open and its crimp lip 20c is still located by the mandrel datum blade 21.
Referring to FIG. 9, the open form shell 28 is now pushed forward over the wound spool of film 10. FIG. 9 illustrates that at the winding station 150 of FIG. 2, the slightly open form shell 28 clears the wound spool of film 10 and its film leader 12a, 12b (the film leaders for minimum and maximum film scroll sizes respectively).
In FIG. 10, the open form shell 28 can be closed to create a round closed shell 30, via a shell closing apparatus 100, around the wound spool of film 10 and transferred to the end cap assembly station (not shown).
Turning now to FIGS. 2, 11, and 12, the apparatus 1 of the invention is illustrated in various views. The rotation and timing of the rotatable forming mandrel 14 is achieved by any suitable commercially available drive means, preferably a cam indexing drive 129 (such as from the Commercial Cam., Inc. (Camco) of Wheeling, Ill.). The cam drive 129 is mounted to a machine frame member 114. As shown in FIG. 1, the cam drive 129 provides two clockwise (CW) indexes for both rotating the first form blank 18 to its stop position, and for the forming of the open form shell 26 (as seen in FIG. 7). Between each index of cam drive 129 are dwells which proved the time for the forming roller 168 to be engaged, and for the first form blank 18 to be loaded as the open form shell 28 is unloaded off its forming mandrel 14. The input shaft 132 of the cam drive 129 is driven at a constant speed via the machine drive (not shown).
Referring to FIG. 2, a spur gear 134 is attached to the output flange 131 of the cam drive 129. The spur gear 134 drives a pinion gear 136 which is mounted to the mandrel shaft 138. The end of the mandrel shaft 138 supports the forming mandrel 14.
Referring again to FIGS. 2 and 12, the mandrel shaft 138 rotates within housing 140 which is fixed to the machine frame 114. The mandrel shaft 138 is captured by bearings 142a, 142b within the housing 140.
In FIG. 2, another important aspect of this invention is that the first form load position 154, the forming station 152 and the winding station 150 are configured coaxially adjacent to each other. Within the forming mandrel shaft 138 an inboard quill shaft 144 is supported. The end of the inboard quill assembly 146 which engages the film spool 10. The inboard quill shaft 144 and quill assembly 146 are able to be actuated in and out within the mandrel 14 and shaft 138 by an independent means not shown.
According to FIGS. 2 and 12, likewise, the outboard quill assembly 148 that engages the film spool 10 also moves in and out by these same independent means. The outboard quill assembly 148 is mounted to the shaft of a winding motor 156 which in turn is supported by a bracket 158.
Referring again to FIGS. 2 and 12, motor bracket 158 is mounted to a linear slide 160 which is supported from the cantilevered end of housing 140. FIG. 12 illustrates the other end of bracket 158 which is connected to the outboard quill drive link 162 which provides the means for the in and out motion of the outboard quill assembly 148 and its winding motor 156.
Depicted in FIG. 11, the forming station 152 which cooperates with rotatable mandrel 14 for forming the slightly open shell 28 is illustrated. A support link 164 is pivotally mounted to housing 140 via a spherical type bearing 166. The forming roller 168 is rotatably supported by the support link 164. Also connected to support link 164, via pivot 172, is the actuating air cylinder 170 which provides a constant forming force during the forming process. The forming roller 168 rolls freely against the unsprung open shell 26, thus eliminating relative motion and scratches. The opposite end of the air cylinder 170 is supported by bracket 176 via pivot joint 174. The bracket 176 is fixed to the machine frame 114.
FIG. 13 illustrates the various stages the first form blank 18 goes through to create the preferred slightly open form shape 28. The mandrel 14 has a special shape made up of various tangent arc segments as seen in FIG. 14. It is important to note that the open form mandrel 14 was designed to clear various film leader positions 12a, 12b of a wound spool 10.
FIGS. 14-16 illustrate a preferred technique for determining the geometry of the exterior surface of mandrel 14 about which the shell blank 18 is formed. The objectives in determining this geometry are to ensure that when a substantially flat, rectangular metal shell blank 18 is formed about the exterior surface from near lip 20c to near lip 20t and the blank is then removed from the mandrel, the blank will spring to a slightly open form 28 in which lips 20c, 20t are spaced sufficiently far apart as seen in FIG. 9 to permit the open form shell with lips 20c, 20t to pass axially over a previously wound spool with varying leader positions 12a, 12b; and, that after axial insertion of the slightly open shell, the shell can be closed to form a substantially round cylindrical shell to which end caps 24 can be readily applied.
Using commercially available software such as NASTRAN published by the McNeal Schwendler Corporation for modeling preformed substantially round metal shell 17, a simplified computer based model of the shell is created as illustrated in FIG. 15. Assuming that lip 20t is held fast; that there are no internal stresses in the shell; that the material of the shell has the lowest yield strength anticipated in the actual product and the actual thickness to be used in the product; and that the stress-strain curve of the material has a positive slope, shell 17 is deflected by applying force to lip 20c, pulling upward and spreading the lips as viewed in FIG. 9 while permitting lip 20c to move laterally if needed. The force is then removed and the model is allowed to relax to its free standing condition. The force applied is increased or decreased until the spacing between lips 20c, 20t in the relaxed condition is sufficient to permit axial insertion of the slightly open shell over the prewound spool 10 and its extended leader 12a, 12b. This technique produces a model of slightly open form shell 28 as shown in FIG. 9. As shown in FIGS. 13 and 16, the radius of curvature of very open form shell 28 decreases from about the midpoint of the shell to near lips 20c, 20t.
Using finite element analysis and assuming that the model of slightly open shell 28 has no internal stresses and no memory of having once been round as in FIG. 15, as would be the case for a shell formed from an originally flat blank, the model can then be closed back to the configuration of FIG. 15 to confirm that the shell will close to a good, round cylindrical shape suitable for installation of end caps. Then, using material of the desired thickness and the lowest anticipated yield strength, a series of tests are conducted to develop plots showing for mandrels of different radii, the radii to which parts spring back following roll forming around the mandrel; that is, plots of part radius versus mandrel radius. Such plots can be modeled using commercially available software and it can be shown that where t is the thickness of the shell material and a, b and c are constants. Then, as shown in FIG. 16, the model of very open form shell 28 is broken into small but not necessarily equal length arc segments P1 to Pi along its circumference. From the computer model of very open shell 28, the radius rp1 of shell 28 at lip 20c can be determined, which is the radius at the beginning of segment P1. From the value of rp1, the corresponding radius rm1 of mandrel 14 to produce rp1 can be calculated using the relationship given above. With minor adjustment for the thickness of the wall of shell 28, the length of segments P1 to Pi along the circumference of the shell will be about the same as corresponding segments M1 to Mi along the circumference of the mandrel. Using radius rm1 and assuming that the radius is perpendicular to the beginning of its corresponding segment M1 near lip 20c, the location of the center for rm1 can be determined and segment M1 can be constructed as illustrated. Then, the computer determines from the model for shell 28 the radius rp2 for the beginning of segment P2, calculates rm2, locates the center for rm2 and constructs segment M2 of the surface of the mandrel. This process is then repeated for each segment of slightly open shell 28 until the geometry of a mandrel surface has been determined, as shown in FIG. 16 on which shell blanks can be roll formed to produce a slightly open form shell 28. As indicated by the preceding calculations and geometric constructions and as shown in FIGS. 9, 15, and 16, the exterior surface of mandrel 14 has a circumferentially changing radius of curvature; that is, mandrel 14 is non-circular. Because the shape of the mandrel is determined using the lowest yield strength material, the mandrel will produce proper slightly open form shells 28 with higher yield strength materials as well and such shells will also close to a good cylindrical form. As best seen in FIGS. 13 and 14 and in a manner similar to the shape of slightly open form shell 28, the radius of curvature of mandrel 14 decreases from about the midpoint of the surface of the mandrel to points near the lips 20c, 20t.
Though our invention has been described with regard to the forming of a single slightly open shell, those skilled in the art will understand from the disclosure that the mechanisms of the forming station, in cooperation with the blank feeding mechanism. The synchronization of the mechanisms to achieve such operation is well within the skill of those in the mechanical arts.

And that the Eagle would return. Alas.
You mean the war memorial statue? Isn't that in the same place it always was?
And that the Eagle would return. Alas.
You mean the war memorial statue? Isn't that in the same place it always was?
No, the eagle statue that former had residence on the top of the press box before the renovations. It was nominally there to keep birds away from the field, but it always looked cool.
heading might be simple, but it also looks massive and intimidating. Looks great!
Glad I was running late for work this morning. By the time I drove by there (which I do every day and never get tired of it!), the whole "MICHIGAN STADIUM" was in place. It looks awesomely awesome to the awesomest degree.
I think it looks good, but does it remind anyone else of magnets on a refrigerator door?
It looks like the words MICHIGAN STADIUM are raised, so they look 3 dimensional. You can see a little shadow below them.
That's cool.
Compare; the new Yost scoreboard:
I might have designed it differently myself, but I do like things "matched," and consistent branding and logos.
We should probably expect much the same at Crisler.
Michigan Stadium than Yost, and I like Yost's font better actually.
I'll have see them both in person to decide though.
I don't think the fonts are the same. Compare the As—you can see the Yost lettering better in this photo:
This will result in a point-reduction on Brandon's Brand Equity Management midterm.
How can anyone honestly say that " MICHIGAN STADIUM" above the video board looks bad?
I just checked. Nobody said it looked bad. I didn't. In fact I said it was "not bad." "Not bad" is different from "looks bad." Those two things -- bad and not bad -- are what we in the business call "opposites."
There were two differing ideas on fonts for the lettering; both drawn from Michigan traditional roots. One idea was the old lettering from atop the old press box. And my idea was the same basic lettering, only utilizing a different font (from the Split M logo).
By the way, those jeans make your butt look fat.
FWIW, the crane is moving quite a bit right now. They could be starting on the sides.
I think they were just craning up a few triples from Blimpy for lunch.
I can see the top of it from my office conference room. Someone have a chainsaw I could borrow? I could improve the viewing considerably with a little judicious tree removal near Packard & Division.
Guys chill. The part where it says "Go Wolverines" will be one of those little message boards like we had on the old ones. And as for the back I hope it just says Michigan Stadium with a block M. Capacity would be cool too.
DB has rewarded our faith well.
I'm excited! with the size of this thang I'l be able to watchfrom my yard, while I'm grilling, out here in Portland, OR. :) GO BLUE
They are putting something on the backside of the scoreboard right now (facing outward). Almost looks as if they are rolling something on it.
Are those speakers they're putting in place right now to the left of the video screen?
I don't think so. It looks like it's behind those columns so it might be the back.
I don't know what column you're talking about. I'm talking about the two pieces they added today to the immediate left of the screen. That's not a column.
Yes, I see them. I'm talking about those yellow columns (horizontal) to the left of the screen. The newest additions are behind those yellow horizontal columns. The speakers wouldn't be behind them.
It looks like they are adding on the back. Which is obvsioulsy due to this thread.
The yellow rails appear to be at the front, so speakers would probably go behind them, but there's no way those are speakers. It does look like that's just the backside of the board.
To the left and right of the video screen, there are yellow rails on the front and the back. See photo below. Speakers would go in between the rails.
Why would they start erecting the back of the board in that area?
I drove by earlier. It's the back of the board.
I think I've seen it all....a looong discussion of the size and font type of the letters up on the new scoreboards. At least we all know we have nothing better to do. This is the result of "always on" info devices and the need to know -- talk about Michigan Reality TV.
I can remember the days when we'd all show up for that first game of the season, which is around my anniversary, to see what they've done with the stadium during the off-season.
I'm glad I'm too old to have had a webcam for my honeymoon. I promise you, you wouldn't be talking about the size of my font................well, then again...
In the meantime, the video screen for the south scoreboard is beginning to go up. From the Michigan Stadium Aerials site (photos dated 7/24):
Looks like Raoul was right - there appears to be some screen at the bottom now, separated from the larger screen.
They are installing the bottom portion of the scoreboard now, looks as if it maybe a video screen and not a fixed GO WOLVERINE sign?
That's too bad, I was really hoping that the bottom of one board would permanently read "Go Wolverines" and the other "Go Big Blue".
I'm holding out for a gigantic banner that goes across all the suite windows that reads, "DOWN IN FRONT!"
You sir deserve a yellow card.
Looks as if all the workers have gone for the night, now what am I going to watch?

Software giant starts pilot program for critical infrastructure protection
Editor's note: This article was updated on May 20 to correct the name of the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute.
Microsoft will share technical information on security vulnerabilities with some government organizations before it publicly releases security patches to help governments protect critical infrastructure.
Government organizations that participate in both of two existing Microsoft programs designed to share security information with governments can get advance access to the vulnerability data through a new pilot program named the Defensive Information Sharing Program (DISP).
Microsoft will start the pilot program this summer and begin the full program later this year, said Jerry Bryant, group manager, response communications for Microsoft, in an e-mail statement. Bryant said early access to that information would let the government organizations get an early start on risk assessment and mitigation.
"This will allow members [of DISP] more time to prioritize creating and disseminating authoritative guidance for increasing network defensive posture actions," Bryant said.
DISP is one of two pilot programs that Stephen Adegbite, senior security program manager lead in the Microsoft Security Response Center, detailed in a blog post on May 17. Adegbite also described another program, the Critical Infrastructure Partner Program, to share with governments, insights on security policy such as approaches to help protect critical infrastructures.
"Looking at past Internet-based attacks, the trends are pointing to an increase in complex multi-dimensional computer attacks," Adegbite wrote. "We believe that governments will see increased demands for swifter responses to vulnerabilities that threaten public assets. The need for information to aid in quicker and thorough risk assessments will be paramount."
Jeffrey Carpenter, manager of the CERT Coordination Center at Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute, said governments have been asking for more timely vulnerability information to better protect critical infrastructure. CERT works with about 40 countries' computer security incident response teams.
Carpenter said governments want advance notice before security patches are released so they can understand what a problem is and how it affects economies and critical infrastructure.
"I think this has been an evolving process where Microsoft has listened to the governments of countries around the world and this is working to meet the unique needs" of national computer security incident response teams, Carpenter said.
Only national
government organizations will be eligible to participate in DISP. However, participants will be allowed to confidentially share the information with their regional
and local entities if they can ensure it won't be leaked.

"I needed a new car after 10 years with my Infiniti. I'm not spending (and cannot spend) $53,000 (M-35) or even $40k+ (G-35) for the smaller Infiniti. So I drove the 4 and 6 cylinder Hyundai Sonatas, Toyota Camrys, and Honda Accords, and the 6 cylinder Avalon. The Honda was a little rough in the ride, but a nice car (I already own an Odyssey and love it). The Sonata was ok, about a 6 on a scale of 1 to 10 to drive. I found that for my family, I need a bigger car, or I w/h bought a loaded Camry. The Avalon has the smoothest suspension and plenty of amenities; it seems as if it's on a Lexus LS platform, without the price or quite the cache-- but also without the premium gas requirement. This car averaged over 30 miles per gallon on my first highway drive, and overall is averaging about 24.5 miles per gallon in mixed city and highway driving. The JBL 12 speaker stereo is very nice (not like the Bose system in the 1999 Infiniti, but nothing is like that, including the newer Bose systems in the Maxima and Infinitis!). I highly recommend this car-- a ton of space in the rear seating area and the trunk, and it glides over bumps and cruises nicely. You trade a little performance, but I'm ready for a smoother ride and a softer suspension. It's about as big as the big Lexus, the Mercedes S or the BMW 7 series, but without the expense and headaches. Probably the most luxorious non- Lexus, Infiniti, BMW or Mercedes out there, for a fraction of the cost."

"The 2006 Toyota Avalon is a world class vehicle. Avalon is no longer a midsize vehicle but rather a full size automobile...it's 197.2 inches long, yet has a turning radius of a much smaller car. My son is 6 ft. 3 in., and can sit in the back seat without his knees touching the back of the front seat. That's how roomy this car is! Performance is as good as any car on the road...the Avalon will go from 0 to 40 faster than most cars...that means when you're at a redlight, you don't have to sweat beating another car off the line if you need to get over in front of them to change lanes. But, the fuel economy on this car is what really sets it apart from its competitors...despite having a 3.5Liter, 268HP power plant, the car is rated at 31mpg highway. It will get that and more...recently, i drove from Macon, GA, to Nashville on a full tank of gas and got 32mpg by the time i got to my home in Nashville, traveling over I-75 and I-24 at an average speed of 72mph. The most i've ever gotten out of it is 39mpg on a freshly filled tank over a 5 mile stretch of flat road traveling 42mph...so yes, the car can attain better than 31mpg under the right conditions."

"Have owned 3 Avalon's, driven two over 200,000 miles, and loved them all. Sadly, the last one, 2006 XLS, was demolished with me in it as I was rear ended and pushed into another car. Knee and steering wheel air bags worked flawlessly, and although front and rear of car were demolished the perimeter of passenger area did not move. No significant whip lash as head rest worked, and seat belt held me REALLY tight. I'm now looking for my 4th Avalon!"

I had one coilpack go out at 150,000. The alternator went out at 262,000. Besides those two things this car has needed nothing but oil changes, tires, and brake pads and a battery. i did have the oil line recall done although mine never leaked.

To the Editor: I'm impressed by the dedication and focus of all those who, as recently reported, are working to adapt our local health care system to the new realities. Among those involved are the State's Office of the Governor and Office of Health and Human Services, our elected officials, Berkshire Health Systems, the ambulance services, and health care unions. I'm grateful for the considerable progress made in recent months and believe that it bodes well for the further cooperative development of a system that meets the needs of all in our community, especially those who face the most challenges.

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Berkshire Medical Center may consider seeking Critical Access designation for the former North Adams Regional Hospital with the help of the state Department of Public Health. The federal designation, which allows for higher reimbursement rates from Medicare, is pointed out as a priority for the return of inpatient services in the just-released assessment report on the community's health-care needs.

Serving as a trustee of an Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)-sponsored retirement plan or as part of an investment committee that acts as a fiduciary is an important responsibility. You agree to preserve the assets entrusted to you on behalf of the plan participants and beneficiaries you represent. The legal requirements expected of most fiduciaries are, in many ways, the same as those of prudent investment professionals. In other words, fiduciaries are expected to make fund-management decisions with the same professionalism as a prudent expert.
A fiduciary is a person, company, or association that acts in a capacity of trust and is therefore
The Dover String Quartet will perform the world premier of three pieces written by Williamstown composer and iBerkshires.com music columnist Stephen Dankner at Oct. 12 at the Clark Art Institute.
When most people think of classical music, several assumptions are made: this music is anachronistic, not of our day and age; it's old, written by dead composers; and the focus is on the performers, especially if the piece is difficult to play.
I am that anachronistic entity – a living composer who writes music that can still be called "classical." I take pride, in fact, in being part of a centuries-old tradition that (for me and a select minority of

Christina Aguilera's New Single Set for August 2012 Release!
With Christina Aguilera judging The Voice and getting her killer body in shape, we've been deprived of a new CD since 2010.
And it's not like we're complaining — well, maybe a little — but we'd like to see her back in the studio providing us with those gust-busting vocals!
According to Billboard, we won't have to wait too long. A new single is set to be released in early August, and what's even more exciting is that Xtina is working with Swedish pop writer Max Martin. Max has worked with Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson, and Katy Perry, just to name a few.
While we love her banter and honest criticisms on The Voice, we're ready to hear those vocal chords doing their thing again!
Are you excited for Xtina's new album?

CLICK, CLICK, CLICK. The sound of his heels striking the highly polished floor rang along the corridor. The décor was impeccable. No surprise, it was the Pentagon. How much were the conspiracy theorists saying they spent on toilet seats these days? He rotated his shoulder, wincing slightly. The sharply dressed officer lounging rigidly at a nearby closed door asked softly, "Trouble with the rotator cuff, Senator Kelley?" Kelley nearly nods distractedly and continues down the hall. CLICK, CLICK, CLICK. His tie sways gently, his face stoic as he thinks and rubs his shoulder, **It's too bad Riptide was unavailable to take care of Tritan this time. His attacks outside of Hudson had been going on too long. I hope our meeting will be delayed for a long time to come.** He shakes his head, auburn curls moving softly, **Erylusians, they call them. I'm glad we didn't have much to do with them during the Squadron days. It's bad enough with the Defenders.** CLICK, CLICK, CLICK. "Senator Kelley, Good Morning." The General's voice is loud, but, not nearly as bad as Tritan's had been. The thought brings a smile to Kelley's voice as he returns the greeting, "Good morning, General Wilcox. I trust all is well? Or, can I assume this meeting is something other than the possibility of a golf outing?" The older man's face flickers amusement, "No, I'm afraid not. To get to the point, I was wondering what you knew about Valhalla or the status of Bill 78737." **Blunt as always, aren't you Wilcox,** he thinks. Kelley's eyes narrow and ridges appear across his brow. "Valhalla, General? Wasn't that the Viking's idea of Heaven… A lot of drinking and fighting if I remember correctly. About 78737, I can't possibly figure out the connection between the two." The General nods, slipping the four-starred, olive drab hat from his head and resting it on his desk, "I see." He gestures to a black, leather upholstered chair across from his desk, "Have a seat Senator." The other man takes the seat as Wilcox runs a rugged hand through his silvered hair, sitting in his own chair. He continues, "Valhalla is the Meta-Morgue based in New York. It is highly classified and specialized in its function, if the 78737 antagonists got wind of it, they'd certainly object to the cold-sleep practiced there. Regardless, there seems to have been a leak and I need to put a plug in it." Burt's mind races, **I never realized how old the General was getting. When did all of his hair turn so white? Probably about the time Mahn got into office, or at the time of Patsen's death.** He only voices the following, though, "Ah, within that context, I believe I –do- know what you're talking about." In a small flash of a moment, Senator Burt Kelley, AKA Torpedo of the D.C. Defenders is reminded of a darker time. A time while he was with the Justice Squadron. A time when he first heard of Valhalla and who was laid to rest there. Drizzle fell in sheets in Hell's Kitchen. Even at Torpedo's and Critical's speed it had taken a little longer than expected to get here, just due to the lack of visibility. It just didn't seem worth it. Bodies were strewn everywhere and blood mingled with grime and water in brackish pools along with piles of rancid garbage. The smell of burnt ozone or perhaps flesh was enough to bypass the filters in Torpedo's mask. Velocity, if his expression was any clue, was no better off. It seemed the Ripper had been following his path along the coast and had finally reached New York. "It looks like we might as well look for clues, Velocity. Too bad Lady America is off with the rest of the Squadron. We could use her experience." Critical Velocity nodded mutely, he was bent over a mutilated, still steaming corpse, "We can't be far behind him Burt. It looks like we figured out his path only a few moments too late. He must be close… ARRGHH!" Even Benjamin Barry's reflexes weren't enough to dodge the attack. It had come from the shadows, leaving the hero stunned and lying in a heap below the indent in the brick wall on the opposite side of the alley, a few bits of masonry trickling about him. Torpedo leapt on the offensive, his form a blur as he sent a series of rapid punches towards the shadowy form enveloped by the darkness. All came up empty. Eyes squinted and peering about the darkness, Torpedo thinks feverishly, **Where could he have gone so quickly? Smart, fast, and deadly. I sure hope Ben is okay…** SSWWWIIISH A blood-dripping claw snakes from the shadows in a huge arc cutting closely to the blue and gray clad speedster. Silent on the outside, Burt's mind is racing, **That came from the darkness, luckily I could hear it cutting the air before it reached me giving me time to dodge. I've got to get Ben out of here. I can't let Ripper keep up this crusade of carnage, though.** An overwhelming voice splits the night, echoing along the alley, seeming to come from everywhere at once, "YOU HAVE INVADED MY HOME, BEAST. YOU HAVE KILLED IN MY SANCTUARY. YOU MUST DIE." The words bounced about the alley, its tone grating Torpedo to the bone. **Who could it be?** A wave of vertigo swept past him in the darkness, something moving by but not quite touching him. "Not another one… must get Ben to safety…" Torpedo mumbles as he stumbles over to the unmoving crimson and black form of Critical Velocity and scoops him up. He quckly regains his senses and speeds to a circle of light barely fending off the nigh-overwhelming darkness of the alley. The sounds of combat follow him, careening through the shadows that birthed them. The grating voice and blood curdling yowls interspersed with guttural growls and the momumental impact of Titans clashing. Throughout the sounds of the battle, Torpedo stands in his small pool of safety, poised over the form of his fallen comrade, ready to sprint off at the first sign of attack. The fight seems short and brutal, ending with a sickening crunch. A gaunt shade, dressed in tattered patchwork of purple and black, steps into the edge of the light. "I am Pariah. Your foe shall do no more harm here. Take your friend and leave." The voice and tone is completely neutral, devoid of emotion, but yet, still somehow conveying an underlying menace. His eyes shine in the night, seeming to drink deeply of the light. They resemble two twinkling onyx under a starlit sky. In one fist dangles the feral, Ripper, its clawed feet scritching divots along the concrete of the alley. Its head is bent at an unnatural angle and a purple aura seems to be fading from it. Burt finds his voice and speaks, "I'm Torpedo. Is the Ripper dead?" "Yes. Take the creature and leave." Torpedo tenses, his thoughts teetering on the edge of violence, **A killer vigilante. If he can take the Ripper, I'm not sure I'm a match for him here.** He pauses and glances to the crumpled form of his teammate, **Ben desperately needs medical care.** He glances back up to the shade calling himself, Pariah, his voice hedge in a calm tone, "Very well, Pariah, this isn't the last time we'll meet." The Squadroner leans over to gently lift up Critical Velocity. When he rises he notices the absence of Pariah. **I guess I won't have to find out what might have happened. This time.** Two men stand before a massive monitor in Squadronbase, home and headquarters of the Justice Squadron. The time is the late eighties, not long before the end of an era. The screen was depicting a battle between a single man, clad in tattered shred of purple and black clothing and a handful of others, all dressed in red and orange. A few moments pass and the single man falls under seemingly unending blows and energy blasts from the others. Eventually, the victors fly off under whatever means capable of them leaving a smoldering, unmoving Pariah. "It was the Sun Lords, Burt. What few witnesses we could find say he put up a valiant effort, but, he didn't stand a chance. They tag-teamed and killed him. It looked and sounded like there whole team was after him with a vengeance." It was Megaman speaking, his cowl-hood bunched on his shoulders. "Ben said you met him a few years back during the Ripper case and had a bi-polar relationship with him." Burt nods, "Yeah. We worked together a few times and fought a few. He just had a different ethic than the rest of us. It doesn't mean he was wrong, though. Sometimes, the Man makes the Beast, Doyle. He didn't have the System behind him like we do. " Megaman nods thoughtfully, before the two lapse into silence. "Was there a funeral?" asks Torpedo. "Yes, a close casket affair. No family and only a few denizens of Hell's Kitchen were there. If it wasn't for Blue Dot, I'm sure you could have helped him. You know, we can't be everywhere..." Megaman drops one hand on Torpedo's shoulder before continuing, "A few reports came in afterward, Burt. The body was missing." "Missing?" Senator Kelley nods again, his thoughts back on the here and now. As his eyes focus once more on the General seated across from him. He says, "Yes, I've heard of Valhalla, General. Not much, though." He sighs now, his features melancholy, "I'll see what I can do in the Senate to slow down the rush of 78737. The public is fickle, General Wilcox. The system seems to have a mind of its own these days." Senator Burt Kelley stands, smoothing his slacks. "If that's all …?" As the door closes behind and he walks along the hall he whispers a few words, "Sometimes the Beast makes the Man and the system forces its own path. Farewell, Pariah."

Pay off your debts, do common sense things to improve your credit. Save your money, buy a house when you are ready and can afford it.
This could take years. In the meantime you will be improving your financial life by taking away from your personal enjoyments. You stop getting cable tv. Get rid of the internet. Lose your cell phone. Get rid of anything you do not have to have to survive. If you could save $200 a month after 1 year you would have $2,400. After 3 years you would have $7,200. If you could save even more a month, it would increase a lot faster.
It comes down to one simple thing. One thing only...
Do you have a stronger desire to have a house someday or
Do you have a stronger desire to have some of your creature comforts today?
Whichever is stronger will dictate what happens next. You can suffer now and enjoy later, or enjoy now and never have the house. It is that simple.
It is that simple, I made similar choices and sacrifices myself. For over a decade (remember the bubble?) I saved all I could I could never catch up. Now that prices are dropping I will be able to buy for cash. A decade is a very long time, but I will have made it work for me in the end. It really sucked for a lot of years.

"John these are big claims, are you sure can live up to them?…. We don't really need to live up to them, Chris, the technology speaks for itself" – A quote pulled from the interview with inventor John Christie. (video below)
So what are these "big claims"? John Christie believes he has invented a machine that will change the way the world get's its power, and will make scientists re-write the laws of physics.
A machine powered using magnets and a battery can apparently produce over five times the amount of power put into it. The device is known as a "Free Energy Generator," or Lutec 1000 motor, and aside from an initial cost to build or buy the machine the energy produced is "free" and the machine is said to run indefinitely.
According to the Magniwork website: "The generator powers itself and creates energy by itself, without requiring solar energy, heat, water, coal or any kind of resource." The site goes on to add, "The generator is eco-friendly and doesn't produce any harmful byproducts." (Magniwork.com)
The technology does seem to be too good to be true. As inventors John Christie, and partner Lou Brits market their device as a revolutionary technology some scientist and entrepreneurs are having doubts about the machines practical functionality.
When asked about the critics claims against his machine John responded, "They are welcome to contact us and we will give them the names of experts who have assessed the machine, but who's going to pay the experts, who are paid more than $US90 an hour, to sit down and explain it to them – because we're not,"
One engineer, Walt Rosenthal, discredited the machine after testing it saying his experimentation found "The inventors would start with fully charged batteries for the demonstration. They assumed that the battery terminal voltage would decrease linearly as the battery was used. So, after using the battery for, say, 30 minutes, they would again measure the battery terminal voltage, and subtract this value from the start voltage, then multiply that difference voltage times the known amp-hour capacity of the battery bank, to come up with their assumption of the total energy consumed from the battery bank. Unfortunately, battery terminal voltage is almost flat for perhaps 90 percent of the battery capacity, before it drops off rather steeply for the last 10 percent of it's capacity. Parke Cole and I tried to explain this to the inventors. I am not sure we succeeded. We were about the 15th group of people to show up on their door step after they went public. We were the first people to bring our own test equipment. The inventors said that the first people to show up were the Russian Mafia. Our bottom line was 50 watts of DC power input, which resulted in 14 watts of rotary mechanical power output. I hope the inventors have improved their device from where we tested it so that it now matches their statements of it's performance." (rexresearch.com)
Despite, Walt's claims, John is still convinced his device works and is still undergoing refinements to improve its power output and functionality. The idea of harnessing magnetic energy is not new, and has been attempted before with varying degrees of success.
