Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) provides financial assistance to states and school districts to meet the needs of educationally at-risk students. The goal of Title I is to provide extra instructional services and activities which support students identified as failing or most at risk of failing the state's challenging performance standards in mathematics, reading, and writing.
What will Title I do for my child?The Title I program will provide your student with extra educational assistance beyond the regular classroom.
Which schools does Title I Serve?The program serves students in elementary and secondary (middle and high) schools who have demonstrated that extra assistance is needed. Title I also serves students who attend private schools.
How does our school receive Title I money?First, the federal government provides funding to each state. Then, each State Educational Agency sends money to its school districts. How much money each school receives is determined by the number of low-income students attending that school. Finally, Title I schools:
What do Title I programs offer?Title I programs generally offer:
How can I get involved?Parents, you can influence the success of your student in school more than any teacher or federal program. By becoming an active participant in the Title I parent involvement plan at your school, you will:
What does research tell us?Research shows that how well students do in school depends a great deal upon how much their parents get involved in their education. You can become more involved by:
So, what does a Title 1 teacher do exactly?
Title I teachers do small group instruction for intervention, facilitate staff development, and provide parents with workshops on reading, math, and parenting issues- all of this is a required job description, as Title I is federally funded and we must comply with federal guidelines. We are also required to stay on top of literacy/math issues, instructional methods, and research through summer academies, workshops, and graduate level courses.

This application is a continuation of divisional application Ser. No. 08/540,865, filed Oct. 12, 1995, now abandoned which is a divisional of application Ser. No. 08/206,488, filed Mar. 4, 1994, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,458,206.
This invention relates to power tools and particularly to an application mechanism for a power tool of the type comprising a housing, a motor mounted in said housing, a gearbox having an input end mounted on said motor and an output end adjacent an aperture in the housing, the gearbox being epicyclical and including a torque control ring which, when held stationery with respect to said housing, permits the gearbox to transmit torque and which, when permitted to rotate in the housing, disables torque transmission by the gearbox.
In such power tools it is known to dispose an application mechanism on the output end of the gearbox, which mechanism comprises a resiliently biased, adjustable actuating means mounted on said body to selectively engage said torque control clutch ring.
Adjustment of the actuating means varies the engagement with said torque control clutch ring thereby varying the torque at which it begins to slip and at which transmission by the gearbox to its output shaft is stopped.
It is also known to lock the torque control ring so that it is not employed and so that no torque limitation is provided. In this instance, it is also known to dispose an application mechanism on the output end of the gearbox, which mechanism comprises a hammer arrangement whereby oscillating axial vibration can selectively be imposed on the rotary drive supplied by the gearbox.
Finally, it is also known from DE 4038502 to provide an arrangement as first described above, i.e. a tool having a torque control mechanism mounted on the output end of the gearbox, but where a hammer mechanism is added on the front end of the torque control mechanism. Such an arrangement is versatile because it can be employed in various different ways. However, it suffers from being somewhat long having first a motor, then a gearbox, then a torque control mechanism, then a hammer mechanism, all one after the other.
It is also known to employ electronic torque control whereby the torque applied is fed back to an electronic control module and, if the applied torque exceeds the torque preset in the control module, power is disconnected from the motor. Thus if a hammer mechanism is on the front of the gearbox there is no penalty in terms of compactness in providing both torque control and a hammer facility but, of course, the electronics do add cost and complexity.
It is therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a power tool which has this versatility and yet remains compact but which is still simple and relatively inexpensive.
In accordance with the present invention there is provided a power tool comprising a housing, a motor mounted in said housing, a gearbox having an input end mounted on said motor and an output end adjacent an aperture in the housing, the gearbox being epicyclical and including a torque control ring which, when held stationery with respect to said housing, permits the gearbox to transmit torque and which, when permitted to rotate in the housing, disables torque transmission by the gearbox; and an application mechanism driven by said gearbox, which mechanism comprises:
a) a substantially cylindrical hollow body;
b) a chuck drive spindle journalled in said body and defining therebetween an annular space;
c) means limiting axial movement of said spindle in said body towards said gearbox;
d) a rotary ratchet plate fixed on said spindle;
e) a facing fixed ratchet plate in said body;
f) means to engage said ratchet plates together such that on rotation of the spindle a reciprocating action is imposed thereon, said means including a lever projecting through a slot in said body;
g) resiliently biased, adjustable actuating means mounted on said body to selectively engage said torque control clutch ring, said lever projecting through said actuating means.

In FIG. 1, a gearbox 10 drives a torque control clutch mechanism 30 to which it is connected at interface 20. Interface 20 is the output end of the gearbox and input end of the mechanism 30. Input end 12 of the gearbox 10 is connected to a motor (not shown) which has a spur gear (not shown) meshing with first stage planet gears 16 of the gearbox 10.
Planet gears 16 are journalled for rotation about their axes 18 on a first stage carrier 22. A planet ring 24 is fixed in housing 11 of the gearbox 10. The planet ring 24 has internal gears which mesh with the planets 16. Thus as the spur gear rotates the planets 16, they in turn are obliged to rotate about central axis 15 running around planet ring 24. In so-doing, first stage carrier 22 rotates about axis 15 at some speed less than the speed of rotation of the input spur gear. Hence a first speed reduction is achieved.
The carrier 22 has its own spur gear 26 driving second stage planets 28. Planets 28 are likewise journalled for rotation about their own axes 32 on a second stage carrier 34. A second stage planet ring 36 has internal gears for meshing with the second stage planets 28.
However, the second planet ring 36 has two axial positions giving different results. It has an external circumferential groove 38 into which project fingers (not shown) of a gear selector (through windows 42 of the housing 11) in order to shift the planet ring between its two positions when the gear selector is operated.
In the position shown in FIG. 1, the ring 36 is in its high speed position where its gear teeth mesh with teeth 44 formed around the outside of first stage carrier 22. Thus the ring 36 is locked on the carrier 22 and rotates with it. Thus the planets 28 do not rotate about their own axes but merely transmit the rotation of the first stage carrier 22 directly to the second stage carrier 34 with no speed reduction.
If, however, the ring 36 is shifted leftwardly in the drawing to its low speed position, its teeth are disengaged from the first stage carrier 22. However, on disengagement therefrom, teeth 46 on the outside of the ring 36 engage corresponding teeth 48 in the housing 11 so as to lock the ring 36 in the housing 11. Now, not only are the planets 28 free to rotate about their axes 32, they are positively obliged to by their engagement with the teeth of the, now stationary, planet ring 36. Thus the planets 28 also orbit about axis 15 transmitting reduced speed drive to the second stage carrier 34.
Finally, the carrier 34 likewise has a spur gear 52 which drives third stage planets 54. The planets 54 are journalled for rotation about their own axes 56 on an output carrier 58. A clutch control ring 60 is the planet ring for the planets 54 and is selectively rotatable in the housing 11. It is normally stationary in the housing 11 and consequently drive from the spur gear 52 is transmitted through the planets 54 to the output carrier 58. The torque applied to the carrier 58 is equal to the torque applied to the control ring 60. Thus, if the ring 60 is allowed to slip, zero torque is applied to the carrier. The degree to which the ring 60 is allowed to slip is the principle behind the torque control of this mechanism.
Clutch mechanism 30 shown in FIG. 1 is employed to exercise the control of the slippage of control ring 60. The mechanism comprises a housing body 110 in which is journalled a chuck spindle shaft 102. The shaft 102 extends through an end cap 112 and has a spined end 104 which engages a correspondingly splined bore 62 of the output carrier 58.
The housing body 110 has a threaded surface 117 adapted to receive corresponding threads 118 on a clutch preset ring 122. Clutch ring 122 presses springs 130 against clutch balls 134,136 received in bores 138 disposed around the end cap 112. The balls 136 engage a castellated surface 64 of the control ring 60. If the torque on the control ring is sufficient, the balls 136 ride over the castellations 64 and the ring spins removing drive to the chuck spindle shaft 102. By rotating the clutch ring 122, the springs 130 can be compressed increasing the torque required before the balls ride over the castellations, and hence the torque limit applied to the shaft 102.
A more detailed description is now given with reference to the remaining drawings showing a combination mechanism 300 according to the present invention.
In FIG. 2, a mechanism 300 has a housing body 310 mounting through a front bearing 316 a chuck spindle shaft 302. An end cap 312 closes the other end of the housing and has a bearing bush 314 mounting the input end 304 of the spindle 302. This end 304 is splined for driving connection with a gearbox (not shown in this drawing) and has a preload spring 306 serving to preload both the gearbox and the mechanism 300; the latter by pressing the shaft 302 leftwardly in the drawing. The spring 306 presses against shoulder 66 of the output carrier 58 (see FIG. 1).
FIG. 2 shows the position of the spindle 302 in the body 310 that is adopted when pressure is applied by the user through the housing of the tool (neither shown) and pressing a tool bit (not shown) mounted on the end of spindle 302 against a workpiece. Thus a flange 372 on the spindle 302 abuts the bearing 316 preventing further rightward travel.
A spring 374 presses a fixed ratchet 376 against a cam ring 308 which has an externally operable knob 360. In the position shown, the cam ring allows sufficient rightward movement of the ratchet 376 for its ratchet teeth 307 to clear those 305 of a rotary ratchet 378 fixed on the chuck spindle shaft 302.
Cam ring 308 is shown in more detail in FIGS. 6a, b and c where it can be seen that it comprises a ring having cam notches 309a in one front surface 311. The rear surface thereof is provided with detents 384 referred to further below.
The cam notches 309a co-operate with cam knobs 309b on the fixed ratchet 376 shown in more detail in FIGS. 8a to f. The fixed ratchet 376 is annular, having front and rear surfaces 375, 377 respectively and an outer cylindrical surface 379. The outer cylindrical surface 379 is a close sliding fit in the body 310. The cam knobs 309b extend radially outwardly from the surface 379 and slide axially in slots 380 in the body 310 so that rotation of the ratchet 376 is precluded. The knobs 309b also extend axially beyond surface 377 and engage cam notches 309a of the cam ring 308. In this position, there is no hammer action.
If, however, the knob 360 is operated to rotate the cam ring 308 about its axis through a small angle, cams 309 disengage and press the fixed ratchet leftwardly in the drawings against the pressure of spring 374. Having moved the fixed ratchet leftwardly, its ratchet teeth 307 can now be reached by those on the rotary ratchet 378 when the latter is pressed rightwardly on user pressure on the tool bit. Until such time however, spring 306 presses the spindle 302 leftwardly until front surface 381 of the rotary ratchet 378 abuts the bearing 316. Here, even when the cam 308 is operated, the ratchets 307 do not engage so that, until the user engages the workpiece and moves the spindle rightwardly, the spindle rotates without reciprocation.
Ratchet teeth 307 are shown in FIGS. 8b to f and are formed on front surface 375 of the fixed ratchet 76. Ratchet teeth 305 on the rear surface of rotary ratchet 378 correspond.
However, when knob 360 is operated to move fixed ratchet 376 leftwardly in FIG. 2 and pressure on the drill chuck is applied to move chuck spindle 302 and its rotary ratchet 378 rightwardly in FIG. 2, ratchet teeth 305,307 engage one another and impart an oscillating axial movement on the chuck spindle 302 creating the hammer action which assists drilling certain materials such as masonry.
End cap 312 has two balls 382 seated facing the back surface 311 of ring 308 which has the two detents 384. The balls 382 snap into and out of engagement with the detents 384 when the knob 360 is operated to rotate the cam ring 308 between its two positions. There are thus two detents 384. The ring must move leftwardly slightly against the pressure of spring 374 in order to accommodate the balls 382 snapping into and out of the detents 384. No extra spring is required.
The combination mechanism 300 further comprises a torque control arrangement substantially as described above with reference to FIG. 1. The end cap 312 has a series of bores 338 around its periphery which each house a pair of clutch balls 334,336. These are pressed by individual clutch springs 330 which ultimately bear against a clutch ring 322 which has a coarse internal thread 318 which matches a corresponding thread 317 partially formed around the body 310.
Referring to FIGS. 5a to f, the body 310 is substantially cylindrical with a hollow bore 313 and a flanged rear end 315. Into the flanged end 315 fits the end cap 312. Bores 332 are formed in the flange 315 and these bores correspond in number and position with the bores 338 of the end cap 312.
The body 310 has a series of scallops 384 corresponding with each opening 332 of the body and which receive the springs 330. The scallops locate a metallic support ring 324 and a plastics guide ring 386. Both these elements have internal bulges 388 which enter the scallops 384 and prevent rotation of the rings 324,386 as the clutch ring 322 is turned. See FIGS. 7a to c for greater detail of the guide ring 386.
The clutch ring 322 mounts two balls 342 in openings 343 which snap into and out of engagement with a plurality of detent apertures 344 (see FIG. 2) spaced around the support ring 342. As the clutch ring is turned, the balls 342 press the rings 324,386 against the pressure of springs 330. Again, no separate springs are required for this detent feature. The guide ring 386 has a series of mounting pegs 390 which each locate one of the springs 330. This ensures that the springs remain in line.
The springs 330 press the balls 334,336 against control ring 60 in the epicyclic gearbox 10. If the gear ring is allowed to rotate in the gearbox, the gearbox ceases to transmit any torque to the spindle 304. Thus the more strongly the balls 336 are pressed against that ring, the greater the torque must be before it will be sufficient to turn the ring under the balls. Hence the possibility to tighten the pressure on the balls by screwing the clutch ring 322 onto the body 310 further compressing the springs 330. Indeed, in order to rotate, the control ring must lift the balls 334,336 to a small extent to climb the ramps or castellations on the control ring. It is possible to tighten the springs so much that they become coil bound and prevent any lift of the balls 334,336. In this instance, there is no torque limit beyond that capable of being generated by the motor and gearbox.
It is to be noted that the knob 360 of the hammer mechanism cam ring 308 extends between the springs 330. Indeed, a slot 392 is formed in the flange 315 of the body 310 to allow insertion of the ring 308 and this slot extends circumferentially in the appropriate axial position at 394 (see FIG. 5b) to provide the requisite arc of movement of the knob 360 between two springs (at 330a, 330b in FIG. 5b) to engage and disengage the cams 309.
Thus it can be seen that the combination of a clutch and hammer mechanism is achieved within essentially the same confines as a conventional clutch mechanism.
However, not only is this combination a first aspect of the present invention, but also there is the possibility to provide several different options using essentially the same components. Although not shown, the most basic mechanism for attachment to the gearbox of FIG. 1 is a straight transmission and this is similar to that shown in FIG. 3. This shows a simple clutch mechanism 300'. Because the hammer action is not required, the moderately expensive bearing 316 of FIG. 2 is replaced by a thrust ring 396 and bearing bush 398. The bush 398 is retained by press ring 399. While being cheaper, this arrangement is too long to accommodate the hammer mechanism.
To render this arrangement as a basic straight transmission, it is only a matter of removing the clutch ring 322, rings 324 and 386, springs 330 and balls 334,336. However, some arrangement needs to replace ball 336 to ensure that the control ring 60 is locked. This may comprise a ring of pegs or the like which fit in the bores 332 and protrude sufficiently to lock the ring.
Conversely, as shown in FIG. 4, it is likewise simple to render the mechanism 300 as a straight hammer mechanism 300". This is achieved by removing the components mentioned above relating to the clutch mechanism from the mechanism 300 of FIG. 2, although, again, some locking means is required for the clutch control ring 60 of the gear box 10.
Thus using essentially the same components, four options for an application mechanism to be connected to the gearbox 10 can be envisaged: that is to say, firstly, a straight transmission offering no features other than minimum cost; secondly, a clutch mechanism simply by the addition of several components; thirdly, a hammer mechanism, by exchange of some components of the straight transmission and the addition of a few others; and fourthly, a combination mechanism offering both hammer and clutch facilities, achieved by adding the clutch components to the hammer mechanism.
It is to be borne in mind that all these options are available in a particularly cost effective manner if the housings for the power tools including these components are terminated at the interface 20 between the gearbox and mechanism and if a nose ring is connected to that housing at the interface and wherein the nose ring is adapted for the particular mechanism. Thus where the mechanism is a straight transmission, the nose ring is nothing more than an extension of the housing. Where the mechanism is the simple clutch mechanism, the nose ring is arranged rotatable in the housing and is connected to the clutch ring 322 (by interaction with castellations 323, for example, on the clutch ring 322) so as to enable turning of the clutch ring and axial sliding thereof inside the nose ring. Where the mechanism is a simple hammer mechanism, the nose ring is rotatable between two positions and connected to knob 360. Finally, in the combination mechanism, two axially disposed nose rings are used, the rear most one operating knob 360 as mentioned above, and the second, front nose ring being rotatable on the rear nose ring and operating the clutch control ring 322.
Alternatively, and this is preferred, a single nose ring is employed to control both the knob 360 and the clutch ring 322. Here a spring is disposed in the end cap 312 to urge the knob 360 towards its non-hammer mode position. A ledge in the nose ring abuts the knob 360 and moves it towards its hammer mode position.
The spring is conveniently a single coil in a radial plane in the end cap with one end bent axially backwards into a hole in the end cap and the other next to the knob 360 holding it in its non-hammer mode position. The knob 360 and threads 317,318 are arranged so that movement of the knob to its hammer mode position is in the same direction as required for tightening of the clutch control ring 322 on the body 310.
Thus, in operation, one ledge in the nose ring abuts the knob 360 on the same side as the spring and prevents the nose ring being rotated further in that direction. In this non-hammer mode position, the knob 360 cannot move further in that direction because it abuts one edge of the slot 394 in the body 310. Also in this position, the control ring 322 is arranged at its loosest position, that is to say, most separated position with respect to the end cap 312.
If the nose ring is now rotated in the opposite direction, the ledge leaves the knob 360. The control ring 322 progressively tightens through progressively increasing torque transmission modes. Finally, a position is reached when the springs 330 do not allow balls 336 to raise sufficiently from the gear ring 60 to permit any rotation thereof. Here the nose ring indicates that the tool is in drill mode. Also in this position, the ledge (or another one) abuts the other side of the knob 360 remote from the spring. Thus a final twist of the nose ring turns the knob 360 against the pressure of the spring to its hammer mode position.
This sequence and arrangement is of course possible because in both drilling and hammer modes of operation of a power tool, there is no requirement for torque control. Similarly, in screw-driving mode (where torque control is of course useful) there is no need for the hammer action.

Some people are downsizing their gardens big time. They're moving from whopping perennial borders to terrariums, tiny Zen gardens and fairy-gardens-in-a-pot. In these little landscapes, a watering can is typically the size of a quarter and a layer of moss serves as ground cover. They require little maintenance and can be enjoyed on a deck, patio or balcony.
Research shows the most effective time of year to fertilize lawns is during summer when they are actively growing. Your lawn will also have the greatest number of roots at this time leading to maximum uptake of applied nutrients.
To help protect the environment from nutrient contamination, fertilizer should only be applied to lawns when they are actively growing. For us, April through September would fit this time frame.
Summer vacation is an ideal time to visit somewhere in Florida you and the family have not yet explored. Among those less crowded adventure locations, Florida Caverns State Park contains Florida's only public caves, complete with stalactites and stalagmites.

Blue is the rarest, the most special of all the colors in nature.
Only 10 percent of flowers are blue. Only one out of six Americans has blue eyes. Only 30 of the 1,867 stocks listed on the NYSE are Blue Chips.
Blue has a shorter wavelength than most colors and, hence, is scattered more by the white light of the sun as it refracts the prism. Atmospheric gases contribute to this scattering, so from outer space we see our home as the Blue Planet. However, the rarity of the color blue on earth is altered by the blueberry.
The familiar floppy flowers of the magnolia tree are thought to be as old as the dinosaurs, which likely grazed among them.

While much of the nation is under water, we are confronting a moderate drought. Even though many local lawns have automatic sprinkler systems, it is clear to see that many of these systems are not functioning properly. This may be due to poor design, improper run time or lack of system maintenance.
The summer heat has stressed many gardens in the area. Some look better than others. Those landscaped with native plants seem to be holding up a bit better.

Landing on the white-suited beekeepers and circling the hive, the bees announce their presence. Then, the hive inspection begins: How is the Queen? Any pests? Are they ready to swarm? And on it goes...

Press release from Marketwire
Nevada Copper-Project Update/Land Bill Passed by the House
Wednesday, June 20, 2012
Nevada Copper-Project Update/Land Bill Passed by the House08:30 EDT Wednesday, June 20, 2012VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 20, 2012) -Nevada Copper Corp. (TSX:NCU) ("Nevada Copper") is pleased to provide a project update on recent developments at its Pumpkin Hollow Copper Project located in Nevada. In addition, Nevada Copper is very pleased to report that the Land Conveyance bill was passed by the House of Representatives on June 19, 2012. Activity will now move to the Senate subcommittee for review and action. Pumpkin Hollow New Resource Estimate Nevada Copper plans to update the project's overall mineral resource estimate. The updated resource estimate will include the results from approximately 45,000 meters of successful drilling conducted since November 2010, primarily in the North and South open-pittable deposits. The updated resource estimate is planned for release in July 2012 and will be incorporated into further feasibility study updates, as described below. Pumpkin Hollow Current Feasibility Study Plan In January 2012, Nevada Copper filed a comprehensive feasibility study that contemplates a single, large 67,500 copper concentrator fed by a 60,000 ton per day open pit mine operation and a 7,500 ton per day underground mine operation ("the Integrated Feasibility Study"). Initial capital costs from the Integrated Feasibility Study were estimated to be $1.04 billion. In view of the current financial markets, Nevada Copper has decided to advance the project engineering work by completing two separate feasibility studies one of which considers a staged development process, described more fully below:By October 2012, a feasibility study will be released that will consider a staged development process with a review of a stand-alone 5,000 to 7,500 ton per day high-grade underground mine and mill, for which a 2,200 foot production shaft has already commenced (see project website for photos and information). Based on capital and operating cost detail from the recently published feasibility study and a previous Preliminary Economic Assessment filed on SEDAR in January 2010, the results are expected to provide an attractive production profile with a significantly reduced capital cost; andThe Integrated Feasibility Study will be updated and will be released on or before December 2012. It will incorporate the benefits of both magnetite recovery and sales from the project's significant iron magnetite resource in addition to over 45,000 meters of drilling completed since November 2010. The current drilling program will be incorporated into an updated mineral resource, mineral reserve and related mining plans. The dual benefits of the iron resource and results from the current drilling program are expected to have a further positive impact on project economics.In management's view, a smaller underground project, with its greatly reduced capital funding requirements would allow retention of 100% of the project ownership. Notably, Nevada Copper has already spent or budgeted approximately $35 million of capital in 2012-13 for a production hoist, infrastructure upgrades and shaft sinking, all of which form part of the initial Stage 1 project capital requirements. Free cash flow from a successful first stage underground project would provide the necessary support for financing a large, Stage 2 open pit operation and separate concentrator. A decision whether to stage the project development, starting with a high grade underground operation, or proceeding directly with the larger integrated project (per the Integrated Feasibility Study), will depend on a number of factors including not only the results of the feasibility studies, but also:project financing; the outcome of discussions with interested potential partners; and the disposition of the land conveyance bill (see below). Shaft Sinking & Site Services Shaft sinking is progressing well on the East deposit, which contains approximately 75% of the underground Proven & Probable copper reserves. Depth is currently 36 feet, with liner plates used for ground support for the first 99 feet of the 24 foot diameter shaft. A 110 ton crane is currently on site to provide hoisting capacity for the pre-sink shaft and erection of the hoist and headframe. Near-surface mucking is being done utilizing a small excavator at the shaft bottom. A production-sized hoist has been acquired, refurbished and is in the process of being shipped to site from Ontario. Engineering and design drawings for the headframe, foundations and shaft collar are well-advanced to the point that bids for steel for the headframe have been received. A new four-trailer office complex was recently placed into service to house site staff. Staff additions include a procurement manager, and an experienced mine development engineer is expected to be added shortly as shaft sinking accelerates.A 5kV power line is being upgraded and extended to the shaft site from the NV Energy grid. Permitting Nevada Copper currently holds three permits from the State of Nevada ("State"). These permits allow for the construction of a 24-foot diameter, 2,200-foot deep shaft on the East deposit, and for underground exploration and mining of ore for test purposes. Mine development permit documentation will be submitted to the State on June 29, 2012 and is expected to result in the issuance of State permits for mine operations by Q1-2013. The permits would provide for a Phase 1 underground stand-alone operation and, if the Land Conveyance is successful, State permits for a larger integrated underground and open pit operation as well. Land Conveyance Bill Nevada Copper is extremely pleased with progress and continues to support the City of Yerington (the "City") proposal, as outlined in a land conveyance bill ("the Bill"). The Bill provides for the acquisition by the City of Federal land in and around Pumpkin Hollow and was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate in February and March 2012 respectively. The City and Nevada Copper are in regular communication with the Nevada Congressional delegation to meet all technical and procedural aspects of the legislative process to assure its passage. The Bill was passed by the House Natural Resources Committee on June 7, 2012, and by the House of Representatives on June 19, 2012. Now that the legislation has been passed by the House, the City understands that the Nevada Congressional Delegation is preparing sufficient information to move the Bill through the Senate subcommittee hearing process, and on to the Senate for vote, later this summer. Once a Bill has been passed by both the House and Senate, it can be signed into law by the President. The Bill, as passed by the House and introduced in the Senate would, once enacted, direct the Secretary of Interior to convey to the City, within 90 days, all right, title, and interest in the proposed lands, subject to valid existing rights and applicable existing laws.For additional information about Nevada Copper, please visit our website at www.nevadacopper.com.NEVADA COPPER CORP.Giulio T.

I was diagnosed a week ago with celiac. I was relieved to get a diagnosis after feeling so bad for so long, but now I feel kind of depressed/alone/confused. I don't know anyone else with this disease and am hoping here I can get some advice and moral support. Encouragement, something.
SInce my diagnosis I've been gluten free...I think anyway. It seems like all I do is read labels. I'm also hungry all the time. Starving. I still feel completely exhausted. I don't know that I can tell any difference yet.
Can anyone provide some words of encouragement? How you got started...books to read...recipes to try...anything that really helps you.
Thanks so much!

Firefox OS fans across the globe can now preorder Flame, the Web-based mobile operating system's first official reference phone.
When you're building a mobile operating system, it can be helpful to have some signposts along the way for developers to follow. Google's got its Nexus line for just that purpose, and Mozilla's Firefox OS takes a step closer to putting a reference device into developers' hands on Tuesday with preorders for the Firefox OS Flame.
Originally announced earlier this year at Mobile World Congress, the Flame is the first globally-available reference device for the mobile operating system. For $170, you can now preorder Flame at e-commerce site everybuying.com from today until June 10, except in Japan. The phones are expected to ship before June 30, and take around four weeks to arrive after ordered.
The Flame "was designed for our developer and contributor community, so we worked with the manufacturer, T2Mobile to keep the price as low as possible," Mozilla Chief Technology Officer Asa Dotzler wrote in a blog post announcing the preorders.
He said the phone's hardware specifications represent the mid-tier Firefox OS devices coming later this year. Interestingly, the phones will have a software-configurable RAM state so that the Flame can emulate less-powerful devices.
After a generally well-received launch in a dozen or so countries last year, Mozilla is continuing to back the Firefox OS platform as a necessary project to ensure that the Web stays open as it goes mobile. That's a hard road to hew to when up against mobile giants like Apple, Google, and Samsung, but Mozilla hopes that promoting a globally-available reference phone like the Flame will give developers a taste of what's possible.
The Flame comes powered by a Qualcomm MSM8210 Snapdragon chip with a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor; a 4.5-inch FWVGA screen; a rear-facing 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash and a front-facing 2 megapixel camera; 8 GB of storage; RAM that can be customized between 256 MB and 1 GB; near-field chip (NFC) support; dual-SIM card slots; 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi; Bluetooth 3.0; and an 1,800 mAh battery charged via micro-USB. It will run on GSM four bands: 850, 900, 1800, and 1900 MHz.
In ramping up production of the Flame phone, Mozilla has been forced to delay shipping 500 Firefox OS tablets to its Tablet Contribution Program participants, the first tablets powered by Firefox OS. The company's entire shipping operation is run by one person, according to Dotzler.
"We're about 25 percent of the way through shipping the tablets and will strive to get the remainder out in the coming week or two," he said.

Alec Bradley Supervisor Selection Belicoso
6 1/8 x 52 - Natural - Bundle of 20
Alec Bradley Supervisor Selection Belicoso premium cigars come by way of Alec Bradley Cigars. These dark, mysterious cigars are virtually identical to another fine Alec Bradley selection, but it's no mystery that the construction and flavor in these full-bodied bundle cigars is outstanding. A recipe of hearty tobaccos from numerous Central American countries make for a well-balanced smoke loaded with rich caramelized flavors and a sweet, head-turning aroma. Want a first-rate cigar at a cut-rate price? This is it!
This cigar smokes like a Liga for a fraction of the price. Complex smooth flavor. Excellent construction and consistency. I use these as my go to now and have completely forgot about the over priced Undercrowns. I just wish it came with a beautiful band to match the cigar. Ive bought several bundles and will continue to buy them.
I took a chance on a bundle of these since becoming an Alec Bradley fan and just smoked the first one. What a pleasant surprise. Rich and smooth and very well constructed. Without question the best value I've found yet!
This and the Sancho Panzas are my every day smokes. These smoke ultra smooth, great flavor and are affffordable. What's not to like.
These cigars are a steal for the money. I enjoy more expensive cigars like any good cigar smoker, but pound for pound these cigars rock! I found the burn to better on the Belicoso, and hold a firmer ash than on the other sizes. The flavor is very good, and the construction is pretty consistant. I will always have these in my humidor. A good go to cigar.

in areas such as risk, risk management, tax policy, incentives to renewal energy, and application of federalism to national energy policy.
For example, while there is heightened concern with U.S. security following the Japanese nuclear disaster at Fukushima, "there is every intention to not only continue operation of the existing nuclear fleet, but also to resume construction of new plants." The first two plants are nearing the beginning of construction, and others are seeking approval. Research also proceeds on nuclear reactor technologies, including thorium-fueled reactors and mini-reactors.
In terms of energy efficiency and controlling emissions, he continued, Germany has relied on market-based mechanisms, especially the feed-in tariff system to promote solar energy, and the aggressive use of tax policy and gasoline taxes to incentivize efficiency. "I find it ironic that the United States, which believes in market forces above all else and opposes regulation, uses regulatory tools for energy efficiency and emissions." For example, he said, the mandated corporate average fuel economy (CAFÉ) standard is the key instrument in reducing fuel usage in transportation. Heavy taxation of gasoline to foster conservation is not politically acceptable, he said.
Similarly, while Germany has promoted increased use of renewables done through a market mechanism, the feed-in tariff, while the United States has used what is basically a regulatory approach—but at the state level. More than half the states have mandated that a percentage of energy consumption must be produced by renewables by a specific date, varying from 5 to 40 percent or even higher. For example, California, one of the most aggressive states, requires that 1/3 of its electricity be produced by renewables by 2030. "So if Germany is disappointed in the U.S. Congress for not passing a comprehensive climate bill," he said, "there is at least extensive action at the state, local, and also corporate levels."
His second observation was that the degree of U.S.-German cooperation in science and technology is "huge." Each heavily invests in the other's energy systems, he said, as well as research, development, and innovation. He gave "representative examples" in both directions, with Siemens and E.ON investing in wind energy in the United States, and First Solar Arizona making a large investment in Frankfurt on der Oder. Solar World in Bonn has production facilities in the United States, and Sulfur Cell based in Berlin has received substantial investment from Intel Capital.
In research cooperation, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and three Helmholtz Association laboratories have agreed to conduct joint research in photovoltaics, solar cells, and concentrating solar power. Fraunhofer opened a center for Sustainable Energy Systems in Cambridge, Massachusetts, several years ago. Finally, he said, the two countries signed a "significant S&T cooperation agreement" in 2010, which will be implemented over several years. "So our S&T cooperation is a big story for innovation policy," he concluded, "and for our transformation to a low-carbon economy."

The Airline will carry the management and squad down under via Hong Kong for their opening fixture against the Barbarians.
Qantas are already the major sponsor of the Wallabies, with the official title of the Australian rugby team actually the "Qantas Wallabies". They are also the major shirt sponsor for the Australian team.
The Lions are typically glowing with their corporate quotes so I wont bother with that here, you can get all that on the official site. Qantats join HSBC, Adidas and FirstCape as confirmed sponsors for the tour in 2013.

True to their indie artist roots the rap group was looking to innovate their sound by making a house remix for their popular hit "Make It Rain." From New York to Vegas to L.A. house and techno dominate the night club scene and they wanted to introduce their personalities to the house music fanatics. So with game recognizing game, Travis Porter, chose rising production star John "J-Mac" McCall to add the Fourth Quarter magic to the track.
With the ink still wet on the record contract it says a lot that J-Mac was given the blessing to produce the track. The connection to Travis Porter was made by the well known DJ Paradime whose talents are also making big waves on the music scene. Paradime's skills as a DJ and his reach, along with the production talents of, J-Mac, makes for an explosive combination. The two call themselves Kool Crunch which is fitting for a remix that smashes hip-hop and house together in such a cool way. Ladies and Gentlemen, get your glow sticks ready....Fourth Quarter Time!!!
# # #
Fourth Quarter Entertainment Inc. is a Music Production team consisting of Creative Director/Songwriter, Bobby Davidowitz, Music Director/Songwriter, Mike Ramsey, and Music Producers J-Mac and J-Beatz.

Pentax and optical glass maker Hoya to merge
The latest camera manufacturer merger will take place next October between optical glass maker Hoya and Pentax.
The two companies will become known as Hoya Pentax HD on 1 October, after the contract is signed in April.
The last major merger in this industry was between Konica and Minolta, who became Konica Minolta in 2003, and then handed everything over the Sony last year.
Pentax says that it needs support as it tries to increase its DSLR sales. "We were always aiming to expand our digital camera business, but it takes time. In the meantime we received a proposal by Hoya to cooperate in the medical area, where we foresaw potential for our growth," Pentax president Fumio Urano said at a news conference.
Hoya is the larger of the two business, quoted at 4,510 yen on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, while Pentax was quoted at 690 yen.

With German election coverage in full swing, it's all too easy for British journalists to revert to easy national stereotypes. But, as you have been keen to show us, Germany is not just a country of Bratwurst and Lederhosen. We asked you to show us the 'other' Germany – beautiful, surprising and alternative – and this is a selection of your pictures.
Many of your photos offered a welcome reminder of just how beautiful Germany's countryside can be.
It also struck us how many of your photos showed something old being repurposed as something new, whether in the name of art or pragmatism.
Even old Trabis refuse to die.
Good to see that artistic sensibilities are alive and kicking in the land of Dürer and Ernst.
Meanwhile who knew that you can claim deckchairs in Juist
that you can surf in Munich
and that karaoke is this popular in Berlin.
One Guardian reader nanesteinhoff introduced us to the popular German drinking game 'flunkyball', which seems to be a bit like skittles, but with fewer skittles, and more beer.
Team A throws something at a target – if it hits it, they all drink as much as they can before team B sets the target upright again. First team to finish their drinks wins. This blog post explains it better.
And finally, on a more sombre note, some of our readers shared pictures of the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin.

Animated GIFS *Help*
If I have 12 separate animated files is it possible to put them together as one file like 2 x 2 going down in a row.
If possible, how much is the cost, please let me know.
The images can be smaller if that helps.

I'm not sure I understand. You have 12 separate animations that you want to put together in one animated gif in a grid layout like below?
ANIM01 ANIM02 ANIM03 ANIM04 ANIM05 ANIM06 etc.
Let's say one animation is 29 frames and another is 39. The first has to loop 39 times, and the second 29 times for an even loop. It's still doable, just may result in a giant file because you need to find the least common multiple of the frame count for all 12 images.
May I ask what this is for? I see little reason to have them all in one file anyway, since you could just put the separate images on a website arranged in a grid and not worry about the above at all. Another issue is that a gif only gets 256 colors per frame, so putting ones that use a lot of colors together can kill the quality.
In short, I can probably do what you're asking, but I'm not sure I understand why you would want to. Or I may be misunderstanding what your end goal is, in which case please be more specific.

It's for a football site that has an area where you can upload 1 logo. I was just wondering if there was a way then to make an image with all 12 spinning helmets so that it all 12 teams could be seen on the site. The frame size are all the same and I wouldn't care if they were resized smaller and put together to make it work.
December 28th, 2012 #4
So, yeah. Sure, I'll do that for you. PM the images, and the order you'd like them in. That is to say 6x2 or 2x6, or if you want specific teams in specific places.
The only other thing that might go wrong is if the site has a max filesize for the logo you can upload, but there's no way to know but to try.

Originally written on NBA 24/7 365 | Last updated 1/6/13
December 2012 was a month that Paul George probably wished would never end. In 15 games George averaged a shade under 19 points per game on about 46% from the floor, and he also saw increases in his rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks. It was was the best stretch of his career to date; he literally did everything at a high level, helping his Indiana Pacers to go 10-5. As the calendar flips to 2013, PG looks to maintain his momentum by continuing to be aggressive. His free throw attempts in December were nearly twice what they were in November, and if he keeps attacking like this he'll be earning even more in January… In the race for the shot blocking crown, Larry Sanders and Serge Ibaka have been running neck and neck all season long. Sanders has a slight edge for the time being, yet this will be his first appearance on the posterized list. Big ups to Paul George for breaking the ice. Honorable mention to Victor Claver, who also conquered a notable shot blocker in Greg Stiemsma.

Twinview and Panning Change from 8776 to 9629
I just upgraded to version 9629 from 8776 and it seems that the behavior of a screen with a panning specification in twinview has changed. I have two monitors, the first at 1600x1200, and the second at 1024x768 with a panning specification of 1024x1200. It used to be that the second screen would only pan if it was the current screen, but now it will pan whether the first or second is current. Is there a way to change this behavior back to the old behavior without downgrading? I did not find anything for how to turn this off in the documentation. The current behavior is rather distracting and unexpected.
I second this - please make this behavior a selectable option
The change in the default panning behavior from only panning the screen the mouse is displayed upon to panning all screens is driving me crazy. I'm going to downgrade back to an older version to get the old behavior.
Please make this behavior a selectable option.

Boise State Senior
40: 4.62
Has good size with a tall, long-armed frame. Is a capable run defender that is comfortable playing up in the box. Does a nice job coming upfield and setting the edge against outside runs. Can break down and wrap up to make the open field stop. Has some pop as a hitter, able to deliver a hit with good closing burst on the ballcarrier. Can also play centerfielder and does a nice job keeping things in front of him. Has enough ball skills to break up the floaters and deep throws over the middle. Will jump some patterns and break up passes. Has experience lining up against slot receivers and tight ends and comfortable keeping things in front of him. Closes well on the ball to prevent yards after the catch. Can play on special teams and can make plays there.
Has very average speed and can get exposed when he's lining up against faster receivers. Not going to be as effective covering receivers at the next level as he is in college. Doesn't have great closing burst on the ball in the air to make a ton of plays in zone coverage. Lacks ideal burst out of his breaks and doesn't have great hips to turn and run with speed down the seam. WIll give up too much cushion at times. Can get caught out of position at times against the pass over the middle or when defending the run. His range against the run is limited because of his average speed.
Iloka is a king-sized safety that has the versatility to match up in coverage and defend against the run. He played free safety at Boise State, but his skillset is better suited to playing strong safety in the pros. His lack of speed and ideal range will limit his abilities at the centerfield position, and might be better suited playing up in the box. His ability to matchup in coverage against tight ends could be an asset for some teams. But he doesn't make a ton of plays in coverage, but he has the potential to be competent there.
(9/3) at Georgia: 1 stuff; 5 targets, 4 rec., 51 yds, 12.8 avg, 17 YAC, 0 TDS
(9/16) at Toledo: 2 tgt., 0 rec., 0 yds, 0 TDs, 1 PD

(11/19) at San Diego St: 1.5 stuffs; 1 tgt., 1 rec., 3 yds, 0 YAC, 0 TDs
2011: 13 GP/13 GS, 58 tackles, 3.0 TFLs, 0.0 sacks, 0 INTS, 1 PD, 1 FF, 0 FR

2008: 13/5-63-6.5-1.0-4-6-0-0
Iloka is more of a throwback strong safety than the modern safety that is considered more valuable as a ballhawking centerfielder. But Iloka can still carve out a niche in the pros at strong safety. He has the size you want in a guy that can match up with bigger tight ends. And while he's not going to be a guy that can shut those guys down, he can at least help contain them somewhat. He has some potential to develop in man coverage, but at this point in his career is not a guy that you want to leave on an island against a top level tight end. But the good thing about Iloka is that he was left on an island quite a bit in Boise State. And he would be brought down in the box at times to act as an extra linebacker to defend the run, a role he's comfortable with doing. His size is enough that if he struggles in coverage at safety, then a team can tinker with the idea of bulking him up and making him a nickel linebacker. Iloka can definitely carve out a niche as a reserve at the least if he doesn't prove to be a reliable enough starter. He could work in those big nickel sets as a hybrid safety/linebacker to try and help combat these elite tight ends that are numerous in the league now. He can definitely add depth for a team, contribute on special teams, and be in a position to contribute off the bench in the right scheme looking for an in-the-box linebacker/safety hybrid. If he becomes a starter, he's probably never going to be an elite safety and will definitely need to be teamed with a ballhawking centerfielder, similar to the dynamic that Kam Chancellor and Earl Thomas have in Seattle. Iloka's problem is that while he has similar size as Chancellor, he's not nearly as explosive or rangy because of his mediocre speed. But he could be a poor man's Chancellor if developed and used properly. Another scheme he could fit is a 3-4 scheme, which in a lot of versions of that scheme like to bring up an extra safety to act as an in-the-box linebacker. The schemes of the Steelers and Jets with their blitz heavy looks tend to like having this type of extra defender in the box.
Iloka would be a nice developmental backup behind William Moore at strong safety. His ability to come in and play a bit of the big nickel sets as a hybrid linebacker-safety could be an asset. The problem is that Moore could also potentially play that spot, and he has better ball skills and speed than Iloka does. He's also a more sure tackler. So while Iloka could be a good backup, he's not the ideal candidate to be used in conjunction with Moore. Instead he would likely be a decent insurance policy to add depth and play on special teams in Atlanta, with limited upside to do much more beyond that. If Moore isn't retained as a free agent in a few years time, then Iloka could potentially step in and fill the void.
Iloka is a nice safety prospect that in certain schemes could be a valuable asset. But for most NFL teams he's only a depth piece. For a team looking for an in the box safety, he is probably worth a late third or fourth round pick. But for most teams he's mainly a depth piece that probably will be better value in the fifth round.

34 year old woman | Naples, FL, USA | Seeking men 25-39 in United States
When the past no longer illuminates the future, the spirit walks in darkness." ((Alexis de Tocqueville))
Sometimes I'm shy and very serious. Other times I'm the center of attention and can keep people laughing for hours; I've been known to randomly sing in public I love to talk and listen. People are my highest priority because only souls are eternal! All of John Eldredge's books have really impacted my life, have you ever read any? I love to read and discuss literature, history, philosophy, education or politics. I am addicted to talk radio; Dennis Prager is my hero. I also love music, almost every kind, listening to a band in a coffee shop is one of my favorite things to do. I sort of play the piano, guitar, and violin and I have an accordian, but really I think I just like to collect instruments. I also like to see a good play or movie. Finding truth in a film is a passion and sometimes I blog about it at quillandfilm.blogspot. My books are some of my most treasured possessions...as Cicero (I believe) said, "A home without books is a body without a soul." My home is anything but soulless! In the past, I spent a lot of time at my congregation; I was on the Israeli dance team and worked with the children's ministry. However, just being with family and good friends is my favorite way to spend time. I love Academia; I have a bachelor's in Classical Liberal Arts/Education, a master's in Applied Linguistics:TESOL, and I completed one year of Law School...it was an incredible experience...but by the end I realized I didn't want to practice law. I especially love to study history because I think that it's like finding the story that God is telling us. It is a an amazing tale of His love, power, faithfulness and even humor! This semester, I will be teaching English at the college level while beginning a second master's degree in History. In the future, I hope to teach history, write, be more involved in pro-life work and Israel advocacy, and of course, get married and start a big home-schooled family! I was born in Connecticut, raised partially in Florida and lived outside of D.C. for four years. I love to travel. I've been to Israel twice; once for a service project tour. That was my ideal adventure. I didn't want to come back. I've also spent two weeks in Spain. I've been to almost every state on the East Coast, several in the middle and to California and Washington state. I really enjoy historical sight seeing, and hiking in the Blue Ridge Mts, or walking in big cities; especially New York or D.C. Discovering the story of a place and its people is a very exciting thing to do! After moving back to southwest Florida, I have found that most of my childhood friends have relocated, and it has been difficult to find others who share my interests.

3 stalks celery with green leaves, finely diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 medium red pepper, cored, seeded and diced (about 1 cup)
1/3cup chopped fresh sage
1/2cup chopped fresh parsley
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
3 tablespoons minced garlic (about 3 cloves)
3 1/2 cups stemmed, diced shiitake mushrooms ( 1/2 pound)
3 1/2 cups diced andouille sausage or fresh chorizo (1 pound)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup whole milk
1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a mixing bowl and toss with a fork to blend. Combine the buttermilk, oil and 2 of the eggs. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until thoroughly mixed but still lumpy. Oil a 9-inch-square baking dish and heat it in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the batter into the pan and bake 20 to 25 minutes, until browned and firm. Cool completely before proceeding.
3. Cut the cornbread into 1-inch cubes and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the onion, celery, red pepper, sage and parsley.
4. Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute until softened, about 2 to 3 minutes, then add the shiitakes. Cook until soft but not browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer the garlic-mushroom mixture to the bowl with the cornbread.
5. Melt the remaining butter in the saute pan and brown the sausage. Add it to the cornbread mixture. Toss until the ingredients are well blended, then season lavishly with salt and pepper to taste. Cool completely.
6. Fill the neck and body cavities of the turkey with the stuffing.
7. Beat the remaining eggs with the milk and mix with the remaining stuffing. Transfer the pudding mixture to a shallow nonstick baking dish and bake at 350 degrees until set, about 30 minutes.
