Business in brief
The 2012 Southern States Holiday Food Drive collected nearly 2.5 tons of canned, boxed and other stable food items for food banks and charitable organizations in 36 cities and towns in the company's south and mid-Atlantic regions. The drive, in its second year, was held Nov. 12 through Dec. 16. Southern States is a Richmond-based farm supply and service cooperative, founded in 1923 that now has more than 300,000 farmer-members.
Hamilton Beach Brands, Inc., of Henrico, is one of four Central Virginia companies accepted recently into the Virginia Economic Development Partnership's two-year Virginia Leaders in Export Trade (VALET) program. Fifty companies currently participate in the VALET program, which provides participating companies assistance from the commonwealth and from a team of experienced international service providers to help meet their international goals. To participate, each eligible business must meet several quantitative criteria and complete an application process. Participating firms are chosen based on their dedication to growth through export. More than 188 Virginia companies have been accepted to participate in the VALET program.
Bremo Pharmacy, a locally owned and operated pharmacy in Richmond for over 30 years, and the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Pharmacy have joined forces to improve medication management and outcomes for seniors in Central Virginia. Seniors are at increased risk of medication adverse events, side effects, interactions, overlap in therapy and poor outcomes. Many of the symptoms that are considered a normal part of aging, such as confusion, falls, depression and incontinence, can be common side effects of the medications that seniors take. In order to reduce these risks and allow seniors to live more independently, the School of Pharmacy and Bremo will offer a variety of services, including medication checkups, special packaging, home delivery, automated refilling, reconciliation of hospital discharges and personal medication profiles for patients to keep with them at all times.

Policies cover quakes but claims unlikely
- What: Community Partners Breakfast, focusing on earthquake preparedness
- When: 7:30 a.m., May 9
- Where: The Centre, 715 Locust St.
- Sponsor: Southwest Indiana Disaster Resistant Community Corp.
- Cost: $20 a person or $150 for a table of eight
- Reservations: 425-8401 or drc.@swidrcc.org
Insurance agent Paul Bird got his first phone call just before 5 a.m. Friday — about 15 minutes after the earthquake ended.
It was a friend, wanting to know if his policy covered earthquakes. The answer was "yes," as it was for the majority of those who called asking about their policies.
- By The Associated Press
- The U.S. Geological Survey says Friday's earthquake was generated by a northern branch of the New Madrid fault zone, the most seismically active in the country east of the Rockies. It produced a series of powerful quakes in 1811 and 1812 that were estimated at magnitude 7.0 or greater.
- The most powerful New Madrid quakes since then for each state in the area:
- Arkansas: 1843, magnitude 6.3 in northeast Arkansas that caused widespread damage but no serious injuries or deaths.
- Illinois: 1968, a magnitude 5.3 quake in southern Illinois that led to scattered damage but neither serious injuries nor deaths.
- Indiana: 1909, a 5.1 quake near Terre Haute that caused only minor damage.
- Kentucky: 1980, a magnitude 5.2 quake near Maysville, about 100 miles northeast of Louisville, that was widely felt but caused only minor damage.
- Missouri: 1895, magnitude 6.6 near Charleston in southeast Missouri; widespread property damage but no deaths reported.
- Tennessee: 1865, a 5.0 near Memphis that caused only scattered damage.
- Source: U.S. Geological Survey
- Date -- Magnitude -- Epicenter
- March 3, 1963 - 4.7 - New Madrid, Mo.
- Oct. 20, 1965 - 4.9 - Southeast Missouri
- Nov. 9, 1968 - 5.3 - South-Central Illinois
- April 3, 1974 - 4.7 - Eastern Illinois
- March 24, 1976 - 4.9 - Northeast Arkansas
- June 29, 1984 - 4.1 - Not available
- June 10, 1987 - 5.0 - Lawrenceville, Ill.
- Sept. 26, 1990 - 4.6 - Chaffee, Mo.
- Dec. 7, 2000 - 3.9 - Evansville
- June 18, 2002 - 4.5 - Posey County, Ind.
- Jan. 2, 2006 - 3.6 - Equality, Ill.
"As far as claims go, we probably won't have any," said Bird, president of Henderson (Ky.) Insurance Services. "We don't have any damage around here."
Other insurance agents in the Evansville area agreed the tremors — which were recorded as a magnitude 5.2 — weren't of the strength that would lead to many claims.
Bird said most earthquake policies carry a deductible of 10 percent of the value of a home, although he has seen them rise as high as 20 percent, so damage would have to be fairly catastrophic before it would be covered.
Harold Calloway, a State Farm insurance agent, also doubts he will see many claims in response to the earthquakes.
"We have not had anybody that has reported major losses today," he said. "More than likely (it) would probably be under most people's deductibles."
Like Bird, Calloway spent a good part of Friday morning answering calls from people who wondered if they have earthquake insurance. Almost 99 percent of them do, he said. Like many agencies, State Farm sells earthquake insurance as an addendum to a homeowners policy.
"It's not separate, like flood insurance," Calloway said.
Banks rarely require people to buy earthquake insurance when they obtain a mortgage, Bird said. Still, most get it.
Ann Flynn, with the ISU Insurance Services Heston Agency, 2029 Washington Ave., said an immediate effect of the earthquakes will be moratoriums on the sale of earthquake insurance. Such policies exist to prevent someone from buying insurance immediately after an initial tremor and then making a claim on damage caused by an aftershock, she said.
The moratorium periods may last anywhere from a week to 30 days, depending on what insurance company institutes them, she said.
Another likely result of the tremors will be an increase in the cost of the premiums on earthquake insurance, and perhaps in the deductible rates.
Bird said it was not long ago that those rates were between 2 percent and 5 percent of a home's value.

A system for dispensing a predetermined amount of paper product to a customer based on a food order inputted into a business machine at a food service establishment. The system includes a business machine, such as a cash register, linked to a powered paper product dispenser. Each menu item available at the establishment is assigned a number that represents the total number of paper product sheets that a normal customer may need while consuming the item. This number is stored within a memory. A microprocessor contained within either the dispenser or the business machine linked to the dispenser retrieves a command from the memory when a food item key is pressed and provides a signal to the dispenser motor which in turn rotates a feed roller within the dispenser so that the predetermined number of paper product sheets are dispensed to the customer. The system controls the amount of paper product provided to the customer in order to reduce waste.
1. A method for dispensing paper products including the steps of:
a) assigning a predetermined amount of paper product to at least one menu item;
b) entering a food service order into a business machine;

[0001] Benefit of the Jun. 28, 2000 filing date of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/214,808 is hereby claimed. U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/214,808 is also hereby incorporated by reference.
[0002] The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for dispensing a paper product, more particularly it relates to a method and apparatus for automatically dispensing a predetermined amount of a paper product in response to a food order entered into a cash register or other such business machine.
[0003] Many food service establishments such as fast food restaurants offer service at a counter or in a cafeteria setting. These establishments typically furnish paper products such as napkins, paper towels or other absorbent paper products to their customers for wiping their hands, faces, etc. These paper products are either available in dispensers located throughout the restaurant or presented to the customers at the counter when they receive their food order. Regardless of how the paper products are dispensed to the customer, these restaurants experience needless paper product waste that increases their operating costs.
[0004] When manual dispensers located throughout the restaurant are used, the management has no control over the number of paper products that each customer takes. As a result, customers can take as many as they wish. Typically, customers take more paper products, for example napkins, than they will use while eating their food order. The customer or the person cleaning the table then discards these extra, unused napkins. Alternatively, the customer may keep the extra napkins and use them elsewhere, such as in their office or automobile. As a result, perfectly clean, unused napkins are wasted or taken for purposes not related to the restaurant that paid for them.
[0005] In an attempt to prevent the waste of paper products, many restaurants have stopped using manual, customer accessible dispensers, and instead now rely on their cashiers to dispense the paper products. It was anticipated that a cashier would provide a customer with only the fewest number of napkins or sheets of paper towel necessary. Unfortunately, the cashiers do not accurately control the amount of paper product provided to the customer. Moreover, they typically do not provide a commensurate number of napkins or sheets of paper towel for the ordered food. Instead, they just reach for the stack of napkins or paper towels and provide a random number of them to the customer without considering the type of food ordered or the size of the portion. Consequently, when the cashiers are not paying attention or have poor judgment, they also can cause paper product waste by providing the customer with more than they need. Alternatively, they may upset the customers by not providing them with a sufficient number of napkins or sheets of paper towel. Additionally, by requiring the staff to dispense the paper products, the speed of the service provided to the customer is reduced. This can cause the customers to become upset and impatient while in line. Additionally, it may discourage the customers from staying in line and/or returning to the restaurant.
[0006] Powered dispensers for delivering sheets of paper products can be used. However, these dispensers supply individual sheets of rolled paper products to a user with each operation. Also, some dispensers will not deliver a second sheet until the first sheet has been removed. Additionally, they do not limit how many individual sheets a user can obtain. Instead, individual sheets will continue to be dispensed as long as the hands of the user are sensed and/or the previous sheet has been removed.
[0007] U.S. Pat. No. 3,289,929 to Hecker et al. discloses a trading or discount stamp dispenser that is controlled by a cash register. The stamp dispenser is operatively connected to the cash register and dispenses stamps that provide customers with discounts for some or all of the merchandise being sold. The face value and total number of dispensed stamps depend on the total cost of the eligible products entered into the cash register. After all of the eligible sales have been entered by the sales person, a control signal is sent from the cash register to the dispenser and stamps having an aggregate face value equal to the value of the total sale are issued to the customer. The signal provided by the cash register is only based on the total amount of the sale. As a result, the number of issued stamps is also based on the total amount of the sale. The number of issued stamps will change with the number of available denominations or the ability of the stamp dispenser to print different denominations on each stamp. For example, many stamps will need to be delivered when the face value of each stamp is low.
[0008] U.S. Pat. No. 3,006,538 to Deutsch discloses a stamp dispenser and an associated cash register. The stamp dispenser can be positioned along side or away from the cash register. The stamp dispenser can also be remotely controlled by the cash register. Like Hecker, the stamp dispenser of Deutsch issues denominational stamps equaling the total cost of the eligible goods entered into the cash register. Deutsch also discloses electronic controls that connect the cash register to the remotely positioned stamp dispenser. The cash register sends a signal to the dispenser that is based only on the monetary value of the sale. Neither Deutsch nor Hecker disclose a cash register which sends a signal to the dispenser which is based on the characteristics of the item ordered—the type of product or the size of the item ordered.
[0009] An object of the present invention includes overcoming the deficiencies of the prior art and providing a controlled amount of a paper product to a customer for limiting waste.
[0010] It is another object of the present invention to provide a paper dispenser control system which causes a paper product dispenser to deliver a precise, predetermined amount of a paper product to a customer. The predetermined amount is based on the size of the item ordered, the type of food ordered and/or the total number of items.
[0011] It is another object of the invention to provide an integrated dispenser and business machine system that will control the amount of paper product delivered to the customer without occupying the time and attention of the clerk.
[0012] Other objects of this invention will appear in the following specification and claims, reference being made now to the accompanying drawings.
[0013] An aspect of the present invention relates to a system for dispensing a predetermined amount of a paper product based on a food order inputted into a business machine at a food service establishment. The system includes a business machine, such as a cash register, linked to a powered paper product dispenser. According to the present invention, each menu item available at the establishment is assigned a number that represents the total number of napkins, sheets of paper towel or amount of other absorbent paper products that a normal customer may need while consuming the ordered item. This assigned number is stored within a memory, such as a read-only memory (ROM) or a random-access memory (RAM). A microprocessor contained within either the powered paper product dispenser or the integrated business machine retrieves a command from the memory when a food item key on the business machine is pressed. The microprocessor then provides a signal to a dispenser motor that in turn rotates a feed roller that delivers the predetermined amount of the paper product to the customer. The system controls the dispensing of the paper product in order to reduce the number of needlessly wasted unused napkins or paper towels.

[0015]FIG. 2 is a side diagrammatic view of the dispenser of the present invention with the cover in a closed position and showing a sheet of a paper product being dispensed;
[0016]FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a type of paper product dispensed by the present invention;
[0017]FIG. 4 is block diagram of the paper product dispensing system coupled to a business machine according to a first embodiment of the present invention; and
[0018]FIG. 5 is a block diagram of the paper product dispensing system coupled to a business machine according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
[0019]FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic overview of an integrated business machine and paper product dispensing system 10 which can be used in the food service industry for delivering a predetermined amount of a paper product to a food service customer. For example, when an order for a cup of coffee is entered into the business machine, a single sheet or napkin will be dispensed. Whereas, when an order for an ice cream cone is entered, three or four sheets of paper or napkins will be dispensed.
[0020] These paper products can include any known absorbent paper product used in the food service industry by a customer before, during or after a meal. These absorbent paper products include rolls of paper towel sheets, stacked sheets of paper towel, stacks of folded napkins, bundles of folded napkins and rolls of folded napkins 90 which are wound on a central core, such as those formerly produced by "GP TISSUE" under the name "ROLL NAP" and illustrated in FIG. 3. Both the rolled paper towel sheets and rolled folded napkins 90 are separated by tearing lines, such as rows of prescored perforations. By using a perforated, rolled sheet material, the rolled paper products can be separated easily from the remainder of the roll along a substantially smooth edge after being dispensed. For convenience and clarity, the above-discussed paper products will be hereinafter referred to as "paper products" and each sheet or napkin will be referred to as a "paper product sheet."
[0021] System 10 includes a business machine 20, such as an electronic cash register 20, a point of sale terminal or similar machine into which a customer's food order is entered at a counter in a food service establishment. For simplicity, the following discussion will be directed to a cash register. However, the discussed principles are equally applicable to other known business machines. System 10 also includes a paper product dispenser 30 which is electronically linked to, and cooperates with, the cash register 20 for providing a predetermined number of paper product sheets to customers after their food orders have been processed.
[0022] The present invention can be used with any type of automatic paper product dispenser. However, for clarity of explanation, it will be discussed as it relates to an automatic dispenser for rolled paper products. The principles discussed below are equally applicable to other automatic paper product dispenser for rolled, stacked or otherwise arranged paper product sheets.
[0023]FIG. 2 illustrates a powered paper product dispenser 30 such as that disclosed in the U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/081,637 and Ser. No. 09/453,794 to Formon et al., titled "PAPER TOWEL DISPENSER" and that disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/604,811 to Formon et al., titled "Paper Towel Dispenser With Powered Transfer Mechanism" filed on Jun. 28, 2000, which are all hereby expressly incorporated by reference. However, other powered paper product dispensers can also be integrated and used within the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the dispenser 30 includes a feed mechanism 37 mounted within a housing to deliver the paper product sheets in single or multiple incremental segments. In a preferred construction, feed mechanism 37 includes a feed roller 32 and a pressure roller 33 which are respectively mounted on axles 35, 36. In use, feed roller 32 is driven by an electric motor 50 mounted within the dispenser 30. When the paper product is fed into a nip 51, rotation of the feed roller 32 causes the paper product sheet to be advanced through a discharge opening 52 in the housing.
[0024] In order to control the amount of paper product fed so that the proper amount is delivered, dispenser 30 employs a length detector 48 (shown in FIG. 2) that establishes the amount of paper product fed during the dispensing cycle, each time the motor 50 is activated. The length detector 48 may be, for example, an encoder, either electromechanical or optical, that outputs a pulse for each increment of paper product to be dispensed. The encoder can be programmed to make any number of counts per revolution. For example, the encoder could be designed to make 32 counts per revolution. The length detector 48 may be coupled to a microprocessor 53 or a logic circuit 54 used to control the operation of the motor 50 and feed roller 32. An alternative to encoding the successive incremental displacements of the paper product sheets is to detect the difference in transmissivity of the paper product when a perforation line crosses an optical interrupter as discussed in the above mentioned U.S. patent applications to Formon et al. which are incorporated by reference.
[0025] When an encoder is employed to dispense the proper amount of paper product, the microprocessor 53 may count the number of pulses generated by the length detector 48 and continue to operate the motor 50 until the proper number of pulses has been counted. For example, when the perforation lines are four inches apart for each napkin on the roll and the signal for dispensing three napkins has been provided to the microprocessor 53, the microprocessor 53 will operate the motor 50 and the feed roller 32 until the number of pulses that correspond to twelve inches of the paper product are counted. As used herein, the term "microprocessor" includes both microprocessors and microcontrollers. Microcontrollers useable as microprocessor 53 are available from PIC. The specific microcontroller used will depend on the specific requirements of the dispenser. These requirements can include the Input/Output pins and the amount of memory needed.
[0026] Because different forms of paper products have different sheet lengths when rolled on a core, the length of the dispensing cycle and the appropriate number of pulses for dispensing a single sheet will also differ. Therefore, the dispenser 30 can be adjusted so that different rolls of products can be accurately delivered to the customers. For example, a dispenser which is setup to dispense a rolled paper towel that is nine inches between perforation rows can be adjusted to accurately dispense folded napkins 90 which are rolled on a core with only four inches between each row of perforations. The adjustment for accommodating a different size paper product can be inputted by a dial, a switch, a button or other known means so that the microprocessor will count the predetermined number of pulses for the length and number of sheets of the fed product and deliver the proper number of sheets to the customer.
[0027] As shown in FIG. 1, the cash register 20 according to the present invention includes a keypad 21 with individual function, numeric and/or menu item keys 22. Each of these keys 22 is mapped or otherwise linked to a program in a memory 23, such as a RAM or a ROM, as is known in conventional cash register technology. The program in memory 23 includes a list of different information or commands that are assigned to each of the keys. These commands may include the price of the item, the name of the item and a predetermined number of paper product sheets to be dispensed to the customer that is based on its size and/or food type. As used herein, "food" includes both solid and liquid food. For example, a regular hamburger may be assigned the number "1" (or a corresponding number of pulses) which means that the dispenser 30 will only be operated long enough to deliver one sheet of the paper product to the customer. Whereas, a triple cheeseburger with many toppings will be assigned the number "3" (or a corresponding number of pulses). The number "3" means that three sheets of paper product will be delivered to the customer. Also, the "jumbo size" of a menu item may be assigned more sheets than the standard size of the same menu item. The assigned number for each item is inputted into the memory 23 or another memory within the system 10, such as a memory chip in the dispenser 30, before the item is introduced into the menu. Other commands can also be assigned to each key and stored within one of these memories.
[0028] As illustrated in FIG. 4, the cash register 20 also includes a well-known microprocessor 24 that receives the assigned information for a depressed key from the memory 23 and sends a signal or data to an appropriate location within the restaurant via a RS-232 data port 26 or a network port on the cash register 20. For example, the microprocessor 24 can send the stored data concerning the price of the item to another memory chip in the cash register 20; it can send the name and other information about the item to a food preparation station so that the order can be filled. The microprocessor 24 contained within the cash register 20 can also send a signal or data to the dispenser 30 via a data transfer line 40 or remote control using known sensors, such as infrared sensors. Data transfer line 40 extends from a RS-232 data port on the cash register 20 to a similar port 31 on the dispenser 30. The signal or data from microprocessor 24 can be interpreted by the microprocessor 53, or it can carry commands to the logic circuit 54 within the napkin dispenser 30 that cause the activation of the motor 50 and the delivery of the predetermined number of paper product sheets to the customer.
[0029] In operation, when a customer orders a particular menu item, the corresponding key on the cash register 20 is pressed. The microprocessor 24 within the cash register 20 responds by executing a software routine. Initially, the microprocessor 24 utilizes the identification of the particular key that was pressed to access a table within a memory that contains the information about that ordered item. This information concerning the predetermined number of paper product sheets that are to be delivered is then accessed and interpreted by the microprocessor 24. The information is then sent to the microprocessor 53 or the logic circuit 54 within dispenser 30. Typically, the stored information concerning the number of paper product sheets to deliver will be in the form of how many pulses should be delivered to the dispenser motor 50 in order to dispense the predetermined amount of paper product. As discussed above, the predetermined number of pulses can correspond to the distance between rows of perforations for the specific product being dispensed.
[0030] The microprocessor 53 (or logic circuit 54) is connected to the motor 50 and controls its operation. The microprocessor 53 sends an activation signal to the motor 50 and instructs it to drive the feed roller 32. The motor 50 and feed roller 32 continue to operate and cause the paper product to be dispensed until the predetermined number of pulses have been counted, such as by the length detector 48. When the predetermined number of pulses has been counted, the motor 50 and the feed roller 32 are stopped and the dispensed number of sheets are torn off and provided to the customer. The motor 50 can also be operated in a reverse direction so that any dispensed sheets that are not torn from the roll can be returned into the dispenser 30 so that they are not needlessly soiled or ripped. The motor 50 and feed roller 32 will then remain at rest until another menu item has been selected, and information for that selection has been provided. It is also contemplated that the amount of paper product for each selected item be stored in a memory and the total amount of paper product for the ordered items be dispensed at a single time after the order has been completed, not after each item has been individually entered, as discussed above.
[0031] Both of the microprocessors 24, 53 operate in a conventional manner. Specific implementations of these microprocessors are well known to those skilled in the art, and include for example, integrated circuits manufactured by INTEL. The microprocessors can be functionally connected to a memory chip; program controls for the microprocessors are stored in the memory.
[0032] The above-described invention relates to a method and device for dispensing a preset amount of a paper product that is based on the menu items ordered. The number of paper product sheets that are dispensed with each of the above-discussed food items is merely exemplary and does not limit the invention. While the invention has been described in the manner presently conceived to be most practical and a preferred embodiment thereof, it will be apparent to persons ordinarily skilled in the art that modifications may be made thereof within the scope of the invention, which scope is to be accorded the broadest interpretation of the claims such as to encompass all equivalents, devices, and methods. For example, the microprocessor and memory that stores all of the information concerning the number of sheets to dispense can both be located within the dispenser 30. In this embodiment, the microprocessor 24 would merely send a signal to the microprocessor 53 that contains the name of the ordered item. The microprocessor 53 would then access a memory chip in the dispenser 30 and obtain the information regarding the number of sheets that should be dispensed and/or the related number of pulses that should be counted. The microprocessor would then drive the motor 50 for the proper length of time so that the predetermined number of sheets was dispensed. The operation and timing of the motor 50 and the other parts of the invention would be the same as discussed above.

No, Cities Aren't Losing Their PoorSubmitted by MLewyn on Wed, 06/27/2012 - 1:59pm
According to some media commentary, any form of civic improvement (such as, say, light rail) is dangerous because it might lead to something called gentrification (i.e. middle-class people moving back into cities) which allegedly leads to displacement (i.e. poorer people being priced out of an area by rising rents).

New Urbanists are to Environmentalists as Republicans are to the Tea PartySubmitted by MLewyn on Wed, 06/20/2012 - 12:09pm
After participating in the PRO-URB listserv while following the Republican primaries, it occurs to me that there's some similarity between the Republican Party's problems with its more extreme activist wing and the relationship between the new urbanist/smart growth movements and environmentalists.
The lion can lie down with the lambSubmitted by MLewyn on Tue, 06/05/2012 - 9:10pm
There's been a lot of argument on a new urbanist listserv about DC's height limits. (In the interest of full disclosure I note that I'm doing some of the arguing!) I think one of the concerns animating opponents of taller buildings is the fear of a high-rise monoculture.
Coincidentally, I was walking down Fifth Avenue in New York, just a block or two from the Empire State Building. But in addition to that famous skyscraper, I saw a whole row of four-story buildings- evidence that the high-rise lion can lie down with the low-rise lamb.

"I think the specific scheme of diversity zoning, or the specific combination of schemes, that an outstandingly successful city locality requires is likely to differ with the locality... A park being surrounded by intensive duplications of tall offices or apartments might well be zoned for lower buildings along its south side in particular, thus accomplishing two useful purposes at one stroke: preserving the park's supply of winter sun, and protecting indirectly , to some extent at least, its diversity of surrounding uses." (Death and Life, p. 253).

No Freedom For MeSubmitted by MLewyn on Wed, 05/30/2012 - 10:19am
The auto lobby likes to claim that automobile dependence means "freedom." But this certainly did not reflect my experience last week. I visited Atlanta (where my parents and siblings live) for a vacation, and lost my drivers' license a couple of days into the vacation. Since my license is a New York license, I couldn't get it replaced while I was in Atlanta. And because my parents live in one of the city's most automobile-dependent areas*, I couldn't get anywhere without getting rides from family members.
Rebuilding urban JudaismSubmitted by MLewyn on Wed, 05/23/2012 - 7:37pm
In most car-oriented American cities, Jews moved to the suburbs as rapidly as anyone else, if not more so. As a result, most such cities lack a Jewish presence anywhere near downtown. For example, until recently the most "urban" synagogues in Dallas and Kansas City were six or seven miles from downtown, and there is only one synagogue left within the Cleveland city limits (only a few blocks from said city limits).
High-Rises and New Urbanists: How to Attack BothSubmitted by MLewyn on Tue, 05/22/2012 - 8:33am
I realize that high-rises aren't perfect. They may consume more energy than smaller buildings, and under the wrong circumstances, high-rises can coexist with bad urbanism (for example, a tall building in the middle of a suburban office park, or surrounded by ten-lane roads). Having said that, I do think some criticisms of tall buildings go overboard.
How Much Density Is Enough? It DependsSubmitted by MLewyn on Mon, 05/21/2012 - 11:43am

"Basically, we've put a halt on the show," Jon Gosselin's manager Mike Heller told People magazine earlier this month. "Jon has been talking to TLC for a long time to cut back on the production and still honor his contract -- because it's been getting in the way of his family, his children are complaining."
If Jon Gosselin changes his mind, his kids and ex-wife could be featured in "Kate Plus 8," TLC's planned spinoff of the soon-to-end series. If not, it could be a long time before the Gosselins come back to TV.
Although his financial and career situation appears to be in flux, Jon Gosselin's religious life is not, as he gets ready to celebrate a new "plus eight": the eight nights of Hanukkah.
Gosselin, who claims he's half Jewish, said he plans to rediscover his faith and toast "family values" with girlfriend Hailey Glassman this holiday season.
"This is the first year I will celebrate Hanukkah," he told ParentDish.com in an interview posted on the site Oct. 9. "Hailey is Jewish. Everyone in my life is Jewish now, my attorney. I love it. I'm now half Jewish and half Korean. The family values are great. On Christmas, I'll see my kids during the day for a couple of hours."
Jon Gosselin also gabbed about his love for all things Jewish, including challah bread, keeping kosher and discovering the New York City grocery store Zabar's, founded by the gourmand Eli Zabar.
"I just went through Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur and learned about the New Year and every Friday is the Shabbat dinner," he said. "I love challah bread. I'm learning about Jewish food, going to Zabar's. I love that place. I'm learning about kosher and when not to order a bacon, egg and cheese and make an ass of myself. Hailey makes fun of me."
"My mom came to the city on Yom Kippur and asked where all the traffic was. I got from the West Side to Midtown in five minutes. She wants to come to the city every year on Yom Kippur."
The Associated Press and ABC News' Taryn Winter Brill, Lindsay Goldwert and Kate McCarthy contributed to this report.

1795 Flowing Hair Dollar, MS631795 $1 Flowing Hair, Three Leaves MS63 PCGS Secure. B-5, BB-27, R.1. Bowers-Borckardt Die State III. The Flowing Hair design was retired in favor of the Draped Bust motif in the waning months of 1795, creating a short, two-year design type. Since 1794 dollars are both rare and extremely expensive, most type collectors opt for a nice example of the more available 1795 date, and few specimens can compare to the present coin in terms of technical grade and eye appeal.

The technical problems that limited the mintage of silver dollars in 1794 were finally solved by May 6, 1795, when a larger screw press was installed and a delivery of 3,810 silver dollars was accomplished. This one-day total represents more than twice the number of silver dollars that were minted during the entire year of 1794. By the time the design switched over, it is estimated that 160,295 Flowing Hair dollars had been struck, with 17 die varieties known for the date. The coin offered here is an example of the BB-27 variety, easily identified by the prominent die defect, or "bar" in the left obverse field , near the top curl. The BB-27 was one of the last varieties produced, and some researchers speculate that the coins may have been struck as late as 1798.
Flowing Hair dollars were avidly collected in the early days of the hobby, and the study of die varieties was far advanced by the end of the 19th century. When John W. Haseltine published the first serious attribution guide in the sale of his Type Table Collection (Haseltine, 11/1881), he described a coin in similar condition to the present piece in lot 82:
"1795; No. 5; wide date; the lower curl is more perfect than in any of the preceding and is not near the stars, but above them; the hair terminates in 6 points; the third and fourth points are close together; rev., heavy wreath; 6 berries on right and 7 on left; there are 3 leaves under each wing of the eagle (there being only 2 in any of the preceding); the eagle's right wing passes behind a cluster of 5 leaves; strictly uncirculated; sharp and boldly struck; mint lustre; very rare in this condition."
Interestingly, Haseltine failed to note the distinctive "bar" in the field, the feature most numismatists use to attribute this variety today. The BB-27 was the only use for this obverse die, while the reverse was also used to strike BB-25 and BB-26.
The BB-27 variety is the most frequently seen of the many varieties from this highly collectible year. However, they are certainly not easy to locate in Mint State condition. This is an exceptional coin that displays full, satiny mint luster beneath obviously original gray patina that shows occasional deep blue accents, concentrated around the periphery on the obverse and more evenly distributed across the reverse. Sharply struck throughout with good definition on Liberty's hair curls and on the eagle's breast as well. The only mentionable surface flaws are a series of light adjustment marks on the obverse rim, and a few that extend into the curls. Recent auction appearances include the MS63 NGC specimen in lot 155 of Superior's January 2009 sale, which realized $115,000. Population: 4 in 63, 7 finer (6/12).
Ex: Atlanta Signature (Heritage, 8/2001), lot 6371, realized $51,750, a strong price at the time.(Registry values: N10218) (NGC ID# 24WZ, PCGS# 6852)

GE, VPDiagnostics Collaborate on MRI of Carotid Artery Atherosclerosis Imaging, Plaque Analysis
July 13, 2012 — GE Healthcare and VPDiagnostics Inc. jointly announced today their co-marketing agreement for the VPDiagnostics' MRI-PlaqueView software for carotid artery atherosclerosis analysis. The MRI-PlaqueView software is compatible with carotid magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data acquired from GE 3.0T MRI systems (HDxt and Discovery MR750). The collaboration will aim to develop optimized carotid imaging protocols and future co-developments on new techniques.
Carotid atherosclerosis may be responsible for as much as one-third of all strokes. To better gauge risk of stroke from carotid atherosclerosis, clinicians are beginning to look beyond traditional risk factors such as carotid artery narrowing (stenosis) to identify high-risk features of the atherosclerotic plaque itself. The GE 3.0T MRI systems and dedicated carotid coil enables high-resolution multi-contrast imaging of carotid lumens, vessel walls and atherosclerotic plaques, while the MRI PlaqueView software from VPDiagnostics provides analysis of these images to delineate various plaque components such as vessel wall, calcified and soft plaques, and help provide a better assessment of the plaque characteristics.

AGP Fast write and SiS 735 not supported ?
I was just about to upgrade to the latest driver build 3123 from:
NVRM version: NVIDIA NVdriver Kernel Module 1.0-2960 Tue May 14 07:41:42 PDT 2002
GCC version: gcc version 3.1.1
for my /proc/driver/nvidia/cards/0:
Model: GeForce2 GTS
Video BIOS: 02.15.01.14
Card Type: AGP
when I saw that currently /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status:
Status: Enabled
Driver: AGPGART
AGP Rate: 4x
Fast Writes: Disabled <---
SBA: Disabled
with /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/card:
Fast Writes: Supported <---
SBA: Not Supported
AGP Rates: 4x 2x 1x
Registers: 0x1f000017:0x1f000104
but /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/host-bridge:
Host Bridge: SiS 735
Fast Writes: Not Supported <---
SBA: Supported
AGP Rates: 4x 2x 1x
Registers: 0x1f000207:0x00000104
I googled and read that this Board ECS K7S5A should support Fast Write, but there is no bios-setting to switch it on or off :-/
I also tried using the driver's internal AGP and loading the NVdriver with NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1, but that didn't help.
Now my question is, wether it is a missing kernel feature for this chipset or a driver issue ? Could I force use of Fast Write by changing os-registry.c ? Or is it a kernel-related issue about AGP ?
Did anyone manage to enable Fast Write with a geForce 2 and a SiS 735 chipset ?
Any comments are very welcome.
Btw, I couldn't search the forums for "sis AND 735" because of the 4-letter-minimum-search-security feature, thus I hope this hasn't been discussed a million times before
Please forgive, if so.

Portable folding convertible crib
Kim from Solon, OH – Verified Buyer
This porta crib is wonderful. It is solid in build, fairly easy to assemble (no instructions these days are well written) and much to our surprise comes with much better wheels than shown. The new wheels are bigger and heavier plastic and resemble more of a luggage wheel than a crib wheel. The wheels also lock! I ordered the more expensive mattress for the crib and it was nice and firm and well made. I would recommend buying porta crib sheets if you can find them as the organic cotton ones I ordered were way too large and needed to be pinned beneath the mattress to keep it from wrinkling up when the baby is on it. I also like that this crib is adjustable in height for newborns and then toddlers. This is a sturdy, great product.
Beautiful and perfectly practical portable crib
Ken from Bronx, NY – Verified Buyer
The crib is well made, beautiful with gorgeous finish and the birch wood feel very strong. When it is fully put together it looks like a very expensive crib and doesn't look like it folds in half. I am very pleased with the this crib. It was everything I was looking for good looking, sturdy, well made, and very portable/foldable as to not take up space. I wish I knew about this crib months ago I would of saved money on the two bassinets I bought for my son that he outgrew.
Nursery Cribs
Gail from Flower Mound, TX – Verified Buyer
We purchased several of these cribs for our church child care center. They are sturdy, easy to assemble, fold easily and perfect for this environment. Would be great in anyone's home for a new baby, overnight grandchildren's visits or just an extra crib for baby to nap in. Very good quality, excellent value.
Great crib for grandparents
Laurie from Havertown, PA – Verified Buyer
Substantial crib. Would have given 5 stars except, mattress is flimsy. Bought the 3 inch firm mattress from the same company and very satisfied.

Beautiful chair. This reminds me of a piece my grandma had.
I wish I could afford this chair. The first thing I'd do is re-upholster the cushion. Fun!
I really like this mirrored screen. This would look great in an open space with a lot of light.

Fantastic Color Saved my Hair
By Let Me Live it As a Blonde!
from Glenside, PA
I have naturally dark brown hair which I bleached to go blonde and touch up the roots with bleach every month. I used a Garnier product, White Chocolate 111 (extra-light ash blonde) over extra light natural blonde color. The result was a disaster, with mustard colored stains all over my hair and some brassy patches in the back. I tried Superior Preference Ultra Light Natural Blonde, but it wasn't strong enough to correct the damage. Finally I used Superior Preference 9.5NB Lightest Natural Blonde, and after I dried my hair it was if a miracle had occurred. My hair was a beautiful shade of pastel blonde with not a trace of brassiness, white hair, mustard stains or other damage. This color is wonderful and I recommend it to everyone who wants very light - but not white - blonde hair with natural tones.

Love this color
By Chris

describe yourself Beauty Conscious
I used to use Extra Light Beige Blonde but it was discontinued so I went to the "Natural Blonde" Extra Light. Was a bit too light for me so I tried Lightest 9-1/2B; I'm thrilled. It's a gorgeous beachy blonde.
