Taking tips, chasing leads, and solving problems
Nissan cited for showing Frontier truck pushing dune buggy uphill
Nissan's Frontier pick-up truck can't really push a dune buggy up a steep sandy hill -- even if it looks like it in the commercial.
That's why Nissan North America Inc. and its advertising agency, TBWA Worldwide, Inc., have agreed to settle with the Federal Trade Commission, which charged them with false and misleading advertising.
In administrative complaints, the FTC said Nissan and TBWA promoted Nissan't Frontier pickup truck with a 30-second "hill climb" commercial (see it below) that showed the truck rescuing a dune buggy trapped in sand on a steep hill while onlookers cheered in amazement.
"It was produced in a realistic 'YouTube' style, as if it were shot on a mobile phone video camera," the FTC said in a release Wednesday. "Nissan and TBWA violated the FTC Act by representing that the ad accurately showed the performance of an unaltered Nissan Frontier under the conditions that were depicted. In fact, the truck is not capable of pushing the dune buggy up and over the hill, and both the truck and the dune buggy were dragged to the top of the hill by cable."
The commercial does contain a statement in small white type for the first three seconds that states, "Fictionalization. Do not attempt." But the statement is gone by the time the truck appears and the ad still implies that an unaltered Nissan Frontier can perform the act shown, according to the FTC's complaint.
The complaint also says the hill was made to look much steeper than it actually was -- presumably because of the camera angle.
"Special effects in ads can be entertaining but advertisers can't use them to misrepresent what a product can do," said Jessica Rich, director of FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection. "This ad made the Nissan Frontier appear capable of doing something it can't do."
As part of the settlement, Nissan and TBWA agree to not misrepresent any material quality or feature of a pickup truck through the depiction of a test, experiment or demonstration. The companies could still use special effects and other techniques, as long as they don't misrepresent a "material quality or feature" of the pickup truck.
The consent order doesn't contain any fines or other penalties.
The case is part of FTC's ongoing focus on misleading advertising.

2 cups
rolled oats
ripe bananas, mashed
1/3 cup
1/2 cup
1/4 cup
almond milk
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
This recipe deserves a lot more love! As a former junk food lover who now has to follow a gluten free/lactose free diet, these are heaven sent! Just sweet enough to satisfy that craving, yet there are no added sugars, artificial sweeteners, dairy, or gluten. It is swell baked up in a little loaf pan, too. Try other sources of moisture instead of the banana, like pumpkin or peaches. Add in dried cranberries, walnuts, pumpkin pie spice, or even chocolate chips. I make this recipe several times a week now. Thanks so much!
Just Terrible! I made these exactly as the recipe called for except I left out the raisins. I cooked these for 15 minutes at 350. They came out with a faint taste of banana and a consistency of rubber. I will not make these again.

These are terrific as a grab-and-go breakfast on the run or for a roadtrip ... so much healthier than the usual high-calorie transfat-laden options. I started making them when I had some overripe bananas I didn't want to go to waste. Now I deliberately buy big bunches of bananas, hoping some of them get overripe before I've eaten them all. I have used crushed pineapple in place of the applesauce and it's just as tasty. I always add nuts (pecans, sunflower seeds, chopped walnuts, whatever I have). I make mine with either instant steelcut (Trader Joe's) oatmeal or rolled oats. I happen to like the nuttiness of the steelcut, but others prefer the rolled oats. You can add chocolate chips (try the mini-chips), dried cranberries, dates, apricots, etc. I cut my dried fruit into smaller pieces with a pair of kitchen scissors. I've also forgotten the milk, used whole milk, and used almond milk on different occasions ... all with acceptable results. Remember to use a piece of parchment paper or lightly grease the cookie sheet before baking.
ADD peanut butter! This recipe can differ every time you make them. Adding a half cup of peanut butter, and 1/2 cup of chopped nuts, are great options. You can use any type of milk, and I love scrunching up a large size shredded wheat biscuit in place of some of the oatmeal, just before forming cookies. Makes them look more interesting! A fruity version, orange or pineapple juice instead of the almond milk, with dried blueberries, Craisins, whatever, plus coconut. My diabetic partner loves them! I make them small, so he can eat a few whenever he feels a little hungry. If you want to sweeten them up, maple syrup is a great option.
Considering how healthy these are, I think they are good. Don't make them if you are expecting a decadent dessert. They are dense and really more of a breakfast food than a traditional cookie.
I would def. give these 5 stars, of course there not going to be perfect because there's no sugar! but if your trying to eat better, these will def. satisfy your craving. LOVE Them! Oh, I also added 1/3 cup coconut and 1/3 cup chopped almonds. yummm
I made this as written except I used regular skim milk. What a great recipe for something that doesn't have sugar, flour, or egg! I couldn't even tell there wasn't sugar. It is very cake-like, rather than cookie-like, as another reviewer said. You can skip the raisins and use sugar free applesauce to make it completely sugar free.
I think these are very good. I'm pre diabetic and salt restricted so I don't have to figure out any substitutions. (I like to avoid white flour, sugar and of course, salt.) However, I need the nutrition info.

Hello, darling. My name is Monet.
I am an exquisitely beautiful, spayed harlequin, rex girl rabbit. I am a gorgeous girl with a sweet personality.
I have an unusual story about me. I was found as a stray rabbit, but I had already been spayed, and unfortunately, also declawed. (It is definitely not a nice thing to do to declaw a rabbit and is surely not needed).
No one came forward to claim me, so I waited at the shelter for someone to come for me. The folks at SaveABunny noticed that I looked sad and lonely, so they took me into their foster center. I am so much happier!
I would really like to be adopted soon. I am a nice girl who wants very much to love and be loved. Please come and meet me very soon!

search that addresses intrinsic characteristics of biological systems that reappear at many levels of biological organization: high dimensionality, heterogeneity, robustness, and the existence of multiple spatial and temporal scales.
The committee attempted to identify subdisciplines of mathematics in which broadly based advances would be particularly likely to enhance biological research. However, it concluded that since critical advances had come from nearly every subdiscipline within the mathematical sciences, any such prognostication would be mere guesswork. The committee believes that excellent biology research can be achieved only by answering key questions within that discipline. Specifying a priori the tools to be developed inverts that goal. However, it is clear that if DOE's applied mathematics program is to contribute to computational biology, it should focus on research that is linked to the intrinsic characteristics of biological systems that reappear at many levels of biological organization: high dimensionality, heterogeneity, robustness, and the existence of multiple spatial and temporal scales. All areas of biology will benefit from improved mathematical representations of biological systems.
Future biologists will use an enormous variety of mathematical tools. What will be distinctive about their research are the problems they aspire to solve rather than the tools they use to solve them. For this reason, this report is organized primarily around biological, rather than mathematical, themes. Its survey of mathematical challenges in biology, which ranges from molecular to ecological levels of organization, is necessarily cursory. However, the report provides an introduction to the diverse challenges that characterize contemporary applications of mathematics to biology. The daunting task facing policy makers will be to develop mechanisms that encourage the deep integration of mathematics and biology needed for sustained progress across this vast, exciting, and rapidly evolving scientific frontier.

Grammy winner continues winning streak
CORPUS CHRISTI - On the heels of her Grammy win last month, Esperanza Spalding is getting ready to mount a publicity blitz for her just-released project, Radio Music Society (Concord).
She picked up the win for the Best New Artist Grammy and that victory sets the stage for her playful yet adventurous set of new songs that stretch boundaries while retaining various elements of classic jazz and pop. The album is a smart companion piece to 2010s Chamber Music Society, the record that won her all of her success in the first place.
But unlike that album, Spalding flexes her stylistic muscles even more impressively on a set of challenging yet convincing jazz performances that create musical scenarios that are as dramatic as they are magnetic.
The jaunty opening track, "Radio Song" features lyrics about the predictability of what is usually broadcast on today's commercial radio stations but gains its edge from its joyously unpredictable and complex musical arrangement. That air of juxtaposition and irony decorates many of these tracks, which manage to sound both improvised and polished largely due to the contributions of ace musicians like pianist Leo Genovese and drummer Terry Lynne Carrington.
The pace is cool but never boring, as the song cycle is a deft combination of Spalding originals interrupted only by two covers. She shines on both the Stevie Wonder's obscure but accessible "I Cant' Help It" and Wayne Shorter's "Endangered Species."
Spalding's originals are just as impressive, with the groove-laden "Crowned and Kissed," the emotionally charged "Let Her" and the percolating "Cinnamon Tree" among the disc's many fine moments. The assuredness of the collection's 12 songs provides unquestionable proof that Spalding's Best New Artist Grammy was well-deserved.
In a similarly dramatic fashion, the confident music she creates on Radio Music Society effectively puts her young career on course for several more notable accolades and awards in the not-too-distant future.

Kissing and eye contact during sex.......
When having sex with someone youve talked to for years and cared about does prolonged eye contact mean anything? Same with kissing? Like both time... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Usually it means he's trying to connect with you, bond with you, make it a little more intimate. It's a very important thing for some guys, and it means they really care and that the sex is more than just sex. But that isn't always the case, as you've found out. But truthfully, you're a little young yet to be worrying about such metaphysical issues. Just try to enjoy and not worry about getting into a serious relationship. See, if you aren't worrying about what he might have meant, you'll find you can move on much easier and find a guy near you that will treat you the way you deserve.
What Guys Said 2
What Girls Said 5
I think it does mean something to him. Kissing and eye contact (and making out after sex) generally implies that he's not just ... Having sex with you, if that makes any sense. And it sounds like he's majorly confused about your situation as well, if he's so ready to contradict himself so quickly after he implies meaning in your relationship.
Well I don't think he believes I'm moving to his state and I asked if things would be diff. if I lived up there and he said probably not.
I think he's emotionally exhausted and tired of it since its been going on the past 2 and a half years and I haven't moved back.
I hope the kissing and eye contact really did mean somethin and he was just having a bad day when I asked him that =(
It means a lot
having sex and making love are 2 different things
if he is kissing you and looking into your eyes during sex then he is being very passionate with you
he would not be passionate about someone he did not care about
Usually, if a guy doesn't want to connect with you (just wants to have sex and nothing more), he tries not to have eye contact with you during sex. The eyes are the window to your soul and it appears that your guy wants to connect with you more than just the physical aspect. He is probably experiencing the passion between you two or does really care about you! :)
i always make eye contact in sex, like yea it can kinda seem awkard sometimes but it makes everything seem bettter. he must care about you, I mean I'm not completly sure. sometimes gys like the eye contact cause they can really see the pleasure your getting in sex. as for kissing it is just more romantic. me and my ex of about a year and a half always made eye contact when kissing.
Have an opinion?

Join author Brian Trifon as he shows how to improve music and audio productions using virtual instruments in Logic Pro. This course tours the program's virtual instruments, including the ES2 hybrid synthesizer, Sculpture physical modeling synthesizer, EFM1 FM synthesizer, the EVOC 20 vocoder, the Ultrabeat drum synthesizer, and the EXS24 sampler, and shows how to achieve various effects with each instrument's parameters. The course also covers working with oscillators and filters, understanding signal flow, creating custom synthesizer patches, adding effects, synthesizing speech, creating a library of custom sound samples, and much more.
Virtual Instruments with Logic Pro will be updating on a monthly basis, eventually covering all the virtual instruments in the application. Look for the latest movies here and on the lynda.com blog.
In the right side of ES2 we have got the Amplifier and Effects section. So this is the last stage of the signal flow, because we've got the oscillators, then it goes through the filters, and then it hits the amplifier and effects. So in the amplifier we've got the Volume Control. This is just our master volume, which you can adjust-- (music playing) --up and down. If you want to reset it, just Option+Click sets it back to its default setting at 0dB. Beneath that we have actually a really cool feature. This is Sine Level. So what it's going to do is this is going to bring in a sine wave from oscillator 1 underneath whatever sound we have that's happening.
And it's going to be unfiltered sine wave too. So it goes directly from the Oscillator into the Amplifier stage. And the cool thing is we actually don't even need to have Oscillator 1 on. So if I turn Oscillator 1 off and I turn down the Sine Level, we should have silence. So I am playing the keyboard now and there's nothing. So I can bring up the Sine Level. (music playing) So you can hear there is a Sine wave now. And now I can add back in the Oscillator, or we could have several oscillators happening. (music playing) And I can blend this pure sine wave with our oscillated and filtered sound, and that way I can always have this solid low end to it.
So this is a very cool control. So from there we've got the Effects section. So we have a Distortion that has two different modes: Soft and Hard. So let's take a look at those. So right now here's no Distortion, but I can adjust the amount-- (music playing) --and it's going to increase the level, it's also going to overdrive the signal. (music playing) So maybe I will turn down our output just a little bit. (music playing) And I can adjust the color or the tonality of this overdrive, so I will adjust the Tone Parameter here. (music playing) And then we have the other mode, Hard.
This is more of a harsh distortion. (music playing) Especially when I have this open to bright. (music playing) So you can hear it's really thick, crunchy sounds, and that's what distortion is generally known for. So beneath that, we have a couple of modulation effects as well. There is a chorus, flanger, and phaser. All three are time-based effects and in some ways, they're similar in the way they sound but there are slight differences. So let's explore them. Here's chorus. So what I can do is I've got two controls for intensity and I have speed.
So chorus is generally good for helping make things more stereo and more lush. So let's up the intensity a little bit. (music playing) So you can hear already that there's a much wider stereo image, and then I can adjust the speed of the chorus. (music playing) Maybe slow it down. And what you want to try to do usually is find a good balance, like if you have too much intensity, it just overwhelms the sound. So finding the good balance is sort of the art of it.
So then we have the Flanger effect as well. This is similar. (music playing) A bit of a different characteristic to its modulation. And then last but not least, we have Phaser, which again is another modulation effect, (music playing) but also has different characteristic to it. So you can get a really wide range of effects. It's the combination of distortion and modulation effects-- (music playing) --for any even very simple sound like we've got here, you can really thicken it up.
That's really cool. So we've covered the top half and the main components of ES2: the Oscillator, the Filter and Amplifier and Effects section. Next let's explore the modulation sections below.

'April has a genius for rain': A spring storm 155 years ago
The following is an entry from the journals of Henry David Thoreau, America's great nature poet who kept a careful, eloquent record of his daily forays into the natural world. A keen lover of the passing seasons and the wild places, he described his life occupation as "observer of snowstorms." In this entry, he chronicles a little excursion in a boat on one of the small rivers around his home, Concord, Mass. It's an exquisitely observed portrait of one of April's most common dramas.

Presidential Reconstruction in Texas. 277
1. The Inauguration of Provisional Government.
On June 17, 1865, soon after it became known that armed re-
sistance had ceased in the Trans-Mississippi Department and that
troops had been despatched to occupy Galveston, President John-
son, in pursuance of the policy already adopted in other Southern
States, appointed A. J. Hamilton provisional governor of Texas.
HIamilton was a native of Alabama who had come to Texas in
1847 and had become prominent in politics before the war. He
had been Attorney-General of the State and in 1858 had been
elected to Congress. Along with Houston and others he had vig-
orously opposed secession and refused adhesion to the Confederacy,
but had remained in Texas until 1862, when, threatened with
military arrest, he escaped into Mexico and thence to New Orleans.
Here he entered the Federal army as a brigadier-general of volun-
teers, and in 1863, when the Brownsville-Red River expedition
into Texas was projected, he was given a commission as military
Governor of the State by President Lincoln. He was, therefore,
regarded by President Johnson as logically the man for Provisional
Governor after the surrender of the Confederate authorities. Ham-
ilton was a man of energy and ability, of sturdy honesty, aggres-
sive and uncompromising, and though prone, when excited, to vio-
lence and harshness of speech, restrained and governed in action
by an unfailing generosity and abundant common sense. He
was an orator of extraordinary power and had enjoyed the repu-
tation of being one of the ablest lawyers in the South. The news
of his appointment was received with general satisfaction by the
Unionists and with some misgivings on the part of those who
feared he was returning for purposes of vengeance.
The proclamation which contained his appointment declared it
to be the duty of the United States to guarantee to each State
a republican form of government, and that, in-as-much as the

Aggies new stadium will make you wet yourself?
MAY 09, 2013 11:59p ET
"The House That Johnny Football Built" is going to expand to 102,500 seats, making it the largest stadium in the SEC and the third largest in the country, only behind Michigan and Penn State.
At a total cost of $450 million, not much else has been said as to what we can expect to be added to Kyle Field.
But one thing is for sure, it promises to be an intense atmosphere, one that will strike fear into the hearts of SEC opponents.
Maybe too much fear, at least according to one prominent Aggie supporter.
"Our goal is, when an opposing team walks out on this field it is going to be so loud, it is going to be so intense, that literally someone is going to wet their pants," Sam Torn, one of the chairs of the redevelopment committee for the stadium, told TexAgs.com on Wednesday.
Literally ... literally wet their pants.
Sure, "The Home of the 12th Man" is already one of the most intimidating places in all of college football to play, and we are sure it is only going to get more insane with the added capacity, but let's hope Torn did not literally mean the use of "literally" in his statement.
Because, if he did, they might want to think about adding a few more bathrooms with the extra seats.

Love life.. live life!!
I dedicated great time studying and pursuing a career that I can proudly say I love and I am passionate about. Now is time to find that someone special to share new pathways in life. I am giving Match a chance because my profession only allows me to be surrounded by female workforce and it limits the chance to meet someone special. It really makes it difficult to meet a guy to connect with or create the sparks that makes someone go crazy for each other. Looking for love is very hard in this high pace city. I am very passionate, fun, family oriented and active in all sense. I really love working out either as a simple walk, jogging in the park, playing tennis/basketball/baseball games with friends, riding my bike or just yoga at home. I am very spontaneous in a way that my best short trips have being the one plan in 1 hr time frame. My friends describe me as funny, caring, generous and a very good cook. Warning: some of my jokes can be sarcastic. I am Asian but I have being raise with multicultural backgrounds that will surprise any person ones they start talking to me. I am looking for someone who is also passionate about his profession because there is always a sense of success and satisfaction that will reflect on the person's personality when you are happy with your profession. I will like him to be active in order share activities that can help us bond and share time together. I really don't tolerate smoking because I am very health conscious. Some characteristic I am looking for: funny, spontaneous, romantic, smart, caring and family oriented.

The findings reflect advances in imaging technology that allowed researchers to detect molecular interactions at the nanoscale level, said the paper's first author Clifford Guy, Ph.D., a postdoctoral fellow in Vignali's laboratory. A nanometer is one trillionth of a meter. The technology used in this study meant scientists could track how the number of functional ITAMs affected the ability of Vav1 and Notch1 to interact to within 30 to 50 nanometers, less than one-quarter the width of a human hair.
"This suggests that much like a rheostat controls the intensity of a lamp, ITAMs regulate how T cells respond to external threats, allowing them to scale the size of the response according to the size of the perceived threat," Guy said.

PRLog - May 14, 2012 - International Sensation NARIA releases their debut CD "NARIA Opera Pop Supernova"!
NARIA is a female operatic/pop quartet that began in the fall of 2010 with opera singer Katya Tchoubar. It did not take long for other opera talents to join forces with Katya which include Anna Bateman, Michelle Danese and Annaliese Jelilian. The world has embraced this female force with gusto fusing traditional opera with a modern pop sound creating exciting and refreshing music along with a provocative stage presence. This fusion of styles became a phenomena and audiences from all over the world has fallen in love with this hot and hip style. This is a recipe for success and they have taken this notoriety and are running full speed ahead!
In October 2011, "NARIA Opera Pop Supernova" was released to a worldwide audience to rave reviews. Their single "Canadian Girl" became an instant hit with its very energetic dance/pop sound. It features NARIA in harmony and highlights each individual member with fun solo lines. What began as a simple theme for a new song, turned into an energetic pop sensation with choreography to match its upbeat, fun nature.
Although seemingly specific to the Canadian woman, this song is essentially about the contemporary, liberated woman who loves life, and who cherishes her freedom no matter what nationality she may be or where she may live. It is about knowing she always has a place in this world and belongs wherever she goes.
"We women know that music and dance are both strong and moving mediums and they often weave together communities from everywhere no matter the social status or color of their skin", states Anna.
The rap twist in "Canadian Girlz' adds yet another fun layer to the music, again showing the strength and passion of the modern woman; a woman of confidence ("You could learn a lot from these Canadian Girls!"). NARIA is innovative keeping ahead of musical trends. Its hip electro/pop sound is refreshing and a joy to listen to.
Acclaims and accolades:
• NARIA was one of the winners of the Midem Off 2012 showcase in Cannes, France
• They have been featured on The New Classical 96.3FM, CHIN Radio as well as Britain?s International British Showcase
• Their music is featured on the TEA volume 15 compilation CD and placed in the number one spot

The instant invention concerns a transportable overhead gantry for spanning a roadway having two supports linked in an articulated manner to a cross-member. The cross-member is adjustable for height, for example using a winch operable to move the cross-member along the supports and, being made up of three or four parts, can be telescopically retracted. The supports can be folded towards each other in a plane defined by the cross-member so that the entire overhead gantry can be transported on a conventional truck. The overhead gantry can be erected at any point along a multi-lane expressway without special machinery or equipment and is thus suitable for the rapid and temporary display of traffic signs.
1. A transportable overhead gantry for spanning a roadway, comprising:
two supports defining masts and one cross-member for carrying traffic signs, the supports being provided with lifting means for lifting and lowering the cross-member along the supports, the supports being foldable towards one another in a plane of the cross-member and the cross-member being telescopically retractable, whereby the gantry can be folded up with the cross-member lowered and transported on a truck, and further comprising a self-acting brake operable to fix the cross-member to the supports in the event of failure of the lifting means.
2. An overhead gantry according to claim 1, wherein the cross-member is connected in an articulated manner with the supports and further comprising struts connectable to the cross-member to reinforce joints between the cross-member and the supports.

The invention relates to a transportable overhead gantry for spanning a roadway such as an expressway comprising two supports linked by a cross-member for vertical traffic signs, in particular for such signs on multi-lane roads.
On expressways and other multi-lane roads, for vertical traffic signs such as direction signs and traffic lights to be clearly visible to vehicles on the outside (fast) lanes they cannot be erected only at the edge of the expressway, but must be mounted on overhead gantries which extend over the roadway. Such overhead gantries are also known as trestle bridges or overhead information signs.
No really satisfactory solution exists as yet where temporary expressway signs are required. When permanently installed traffic signs have to be altered temporarily a provisional sign or a fabric covering is often hung over the traffic sign with the aid of a vehicle equipped with a lifting platform.
Apart from the disruption to traffic involved in this procedure, the rapid or temporary erection of traffic signs over the roadway is not solved where there is no permanently installed overhead gantry. This situation can, for example, arise when sudden diversions, unusual destinations or the like have to be signposted.
It is an object of the instant invention to provide a means for erecting temporary vertical road signs on expressways and other roadways with a minimum of hindrance or disruption to traffic.
The above object is achieved by the instant invention by means of an overhead gantry of the type referred to above, wherein the supports are provided with lifting devices for lifting and lowering the cross-member, the supports are composed of masts which can be inclined towards one another when the cross-member is lowered and the cross-member comprises mutually telescopically retractable sections. These sections may retract over or within one another.
The cross-member is mounted in an articulated manner on the supports, whereby the articulated joints can be locked in position by means of struts. The means of elevating the cross-member may be any conventional method. It may, for example, be a motor-driven or manually operated system. Motor driven systems may use electric motors or hydraulic systems with pistons. A typical manual system will involve cables and a winch. Cable lifting devices are preferably provided with self-acting brakes in the event of a cable severing. The lower ends of the masts are conveniently provided with support members disposed at right angles to the cross-member, said cross-member being equipped with wheels and fixing devices.
Preferred embodiments of the instant invention will now be described with particular reference to the description based on the drawings appended hereto. There is shown in
FIG. 1 a perspective general view of an assembled overhead gantry,
FIG. 2 a perspective view of a part of the lifting device,
FIG. 3 a schematic representation of the sequence of erecting the overhead gantry.
The overhead gantry shown in FIG. 1 consists essentially of two supports 11, 12 and a cross-member 13 located therebetween for carrying traffic signs 9. The support 11 consists of a double mast 14 composed of two parallel tubes 15,16 of equal length having a square cross section. The tubes 15,16 are fixed to a support member 17 perpendicular thereto, preferably by welding. The support member 17 is provided at its outer ends with fixed wheels 18. In addition, support member 17 has fixing devices 19 which are adjustable for height in a conventional manner in order to deactivate wheels 18 and thus prevent the support from rolling away and also to enable the gantry to be mounted level on uneven terrain.
The mast 14 is equipped with a lifting device which is composed of a carriage 21, a winch 22 with cable 23 and pulleys 24 at the head of the mast. This elevating means may otherwise comprise an electric motor or hydraulic means.
The carriage 21 is shown in detail in FIG. 2. It consists essentially of two rectangular tubular sections 25, 26 the size of which enables them to fit over tubes 15,16. One tubular section consists of two side walls 27, 28, a front wall 29 and a back wall 31. The two side walls 27,28 are at a distance from one another which is slightly (e.g. 0.2") greater than the outer dimension of tube 15. Front wall 29 and back wall 31 have a distinctly larger distance from one another, the purpose of which will be set out below.
The pipe sections 25,26 are arranged in parallel at a distance from one another which corresponds to the distance of the two tubes 15,16 of mast 14. At their upper ends the tubular sections 25,25 are provided with plates 32 fixed, e.g. welded, in pairs to the two side walls 27,28, said plates projecting beyond the front wall. The plates 32 are provided with holes 33 of the same diameter in such a way that all the holes align with one another. At their lower ends the tubular sections possess similarly arranged pairs of plates 34 which project in the same way as the upper ones and which are provided with holes 35 which align with one another.
The inside of each tubular section is provided at its upper and lower ends with a pair of rollers 36 which are arranged parallel to the front wall 29 or the back wall 31 and at a small distance therefrom. The rollers consist of sleeves 37 which are swivel mounted on bolts 38 extending vertically to side walls 27,28 and extending through these. The distance between the rollers of each pair equals the outer dimension of the corresponding tube of mast 14. The rollers serve to reduce friction between carriage 21 and mast 14.
One end of cable 23 is fitted to carriage 21 and runs over the pulleys 24 to winch 22. Winding up or unwinding the cable 23 raises or lowers the carriage in relation to the mast.
In contradistinction to support 11, support 12 consists of a simple mast 39 on a transverse support member 41 with which it is rigidly linked. In other respects support 12 is similarly equipped as support 11, i.e. support member 41 has wheels 42 and fixing devices 43 and the mast is provided with a lifting device consisting of a carriage 44, a winch 45 with cable 46 and pulley wheels 47. The carriage 44 only differs from carriage 21 in that it is composed of only one tubular section. Otherwise its construction is essentially similar to that of carriage 21.
The wheels 42 differ from wheels 18 in that their shafts are not fixed, but can pivot about a vertical bolt.
The cross-member 13 which links the two supports 11, 12 consists essentially of three or four individual tubular sections. These may be of tubular or rectangular cross section. A central portion 48 is constructed in the form of a double tube. Two tubes of equal length and rectangular cross section are mounted parallel with one another. They may be slid along each other and are held together by a series of pins passing through holes in the tubes. For a more permanent installation the tubes may be welded together. In another embodiment the two tubes composing the central section may be closed at one end. In this case, their openings are at opposite ends to one another, in each case at the projecting end of the tube. To tension the assembly together, one may use cables 59, one of which may be in the form of a chain.
Two side parts 49,51 of cross-member 13 consist of rectangular tubes, the outer cross section of which fits into the internal cross section of the tubes of central section 48 so that side sections 49,51 can be inserted into central section 48. In this way the cross-member 13 can be shortened to somewhat more than a third of its maximum length. In order to tension up the gantry between the uprights, one may use cables, one of which may conveniently be in the form of a chain.
At a short distance from the open ends of the two tubes of the central section 48 are provided adjusting screws 52 which are inserted vertically in threads in the central section and with which the side sections 49,51 can be fitted and, above all, play between the central and side sections can be avoided.
In addition, the central section 48 of the two tubes has horizontal through holes 53 which align in certain withdrawn positions of side sections 49,51 with holes (not shown) in the ends of the side sections located in the central section so that fitting pins 54 can be inserted through them in order to fix the specific extended positions.
At their other ends the side sections also have holes (not shown) through which the pins or axles 55 can be inserted to link up with the lower plates 34 located on carriages 21,44. The width of the side sections determines the distance between the plates.
Plates 32 at the upper end of the carriage serve to fit additional bracing struts 56, the other ends of which can be linked by means of appropriate pins through additional holes in the side sections to said side sections. The holes in the side sections are preferably strengthened with bushes.
A further bracing device is formed by a cable 57 which is tensioned below cross-member 13 between the ends of the side sections over supports 58 on the underside of the central section.
The two tubular sections 25,26 of carriage 21, as well as carriage 44 having only one tubular section, have self-acting fall brakes 62 which hold the appropriate carriage should a cable 23,46 sever. The brakes consist of a conventional blocking device which clamps the relevant carriage to the mast should a cable sever.
The individual parts of the overhead gantry are preferably of galvanized steel. The maximum width of the bridge in assembled state is about 45 feet and is so designed as to span three-lane expressways with breakdown lane. The headroom of the erected bridge is about 15 feet, the overall height ca. 20 feet. These dimensions do not, however, consistute any limitations. Unloading and erection of the overhead gantry can be effected by four workmen without special aids.
Axles 55 with which side sections 49,51 of cross-member 13 are linked to carriages 21,44 have a central function. They serve as pivots when the overhead gantry is folded for transport purposes. When struts 56 are loosened by withdrawing the linkage bolts in the side sections, the masts can be folded down. When, additionally, cross-member 13 is pushed together the transport configuration is obtained. The individual steps and configurations are shown in sequence in FIG. 3.
FIG. 3a shows the folded overhead gantry on the loading surface of a transport vehicle 59. Support 11 with the double mast is located at the rear, i.e. where unloading takes place. First of all support 11 is slid rearing wardly by about 4 feet (shown in dotted lines). The carriage is blocked using the winch and then the mast is erected (FIG. 3b). The central section 48 of the cross-member is then supported from below by means of a jack 61 or similar device. Support 11 is then pushed out sufficiently far to enable the side section 49 to be drawn so far out of the central section that struts 56 can be fixed to the side section (FIG. 3c). Side section 49 is then pulled out of the central section by the desired length (FIG. 3d). Once in the desired position the appropriate pin 54 is inserted and fixing screw 52 tightened. By driving support 11 steadily backwards the other end of central section 48 comes onto the jack 61 (FIG. 3e). The transport vehicle 59 is now free and can drive off. The same procedure is now followed in respect of the other support 12. Finally, the tensioning cables 57 and 57a are fitted and tensioned (FIG. 3f). The gantry is now ready to have traffic signs fitted to it. When this has been completed the cross-member 13 is lifted to the desired height with winches 22,45.
All the steps hitherto described can be carried out in the breakdown lane or beside the roadway, by erecting the overhead gantry parallel to the flow of traffic. Only when it is completely ready and the traffic signs have been erected is it swung round in such a way as to span the roadway. This only requires stopping the traffic for a few moments. In its finally erected state, i.e. spanning the roadway, the overhead gantry is preferably secured by means of two or more retaining cables per mast, these being tensioned slanting downwards from the head of the mast.
FIG. 3g shows a position in which the overhead gantry can be transported and, if necessary also towed, for longer distances. For this purpose it suffices to loosen struts 56 from side sections 49,51 so that the supports can be partially tipped towards one another in order to reduce their overall height under the headroom normally allowed for road passage.
Where the roadway is very broad a third mast may become necessary to provide sufficient support for the cross-member.

A proposal that would ask state voters to approve more private casinos in Michigan will not be allowed on the Nov.6 ballot. / JESSICA J. TREVINO/Detroit Free Press
LANSING The Michigan Court of Appeals has ordered off the Nov. 6 ballot a proposal that would ask state voters to approve eight more private casinos in Michigan.
The Secretary (of State) is ordered and directed to stop the canvass, to reject the petition, and not to allow the proposal to be placed on the ballot, a three-judge panel said in an order released today.
Backers of the proposal to allow new casinos in Detroit, Clam Lake Township outside Cadillac, DeWitt Township just north of Lansing; Pontiac; Clinton Township; Birch Run Township; Grand Rapids and Romulus, said they plan to appeal to the Michigan Supreme Court.
The group Protect MI Vote, which is backed in part by existing casinos in Michigan, filed a lawsuit seeking to block the initiative sponsored by an organization called Citizens for More Michigan Jobs.
Among other objections, the group said the initiative would improperly make amendments to the voter-initiated Gaming Control & Revenue Act and would bypass the Liquor Control Act.
In a one-paragraph order, the court ruled the proposed initiative violates a section of the Michigan constitution that prohibits amending a law by reference to its title only. The panel said the proposal would amend the Gaming Act without publishing the sections of the law that would be amended.
John Truscott, a spokesman for Protect MI Vote, said today hes very pleased with the courts ruling.
They supported our contention that this was very poorly drafted, it is not constitutional, and there is no way the voters can figure out what they are voting on, Truscott said.
T.J. Bucholz, a spokesman for Citizens for More Michigan Jobs, said his group plans an appeal to the Michigan Supreme Court.
From Day One we have firmly believed that the law has been on our side, Bucholz said. What we want to do is read the ruling carefully.
Certainly we intend to appeal the ruling to the Michigan Supreme Court.
The judges on the appeals court panel were Donald Owens, Peter OConnell and Amy Ronayne Krause.
News of the ruling was first announced on Twitter by Michigan Solicitor General John Bursch.
The Michigan Board of State Canvassers was scheduled to vote on certifying the casino initiative and three other initiatives at its meeting Wednesday morning.

Grizzlies, Zach Randolph in "serious" contract talks
Mar 21, 2011, 9:20 AM EDT
Some of the best teams in he West would like to avoid the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of the playoff because Memphis has one of the biggest, most dangerous front lines in basketball with Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol.
Two guys who just happen to be free agents this summer (although Gasol is restricted, at least under the current system).
Now Randolph may be coming off the market — he and the Grizzlies are in "serious" talks about a four-year deal that would keep Randolph in Memphis, according to the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
Randolph's agent, Raymond Brothers, and Griz general manager Chris Wallace confirmed that they have been involved in constructive talks after months of inactivity.
"I think they're serious," Brothers said of the Grizzlies' intent to sign Randolph. "I'm optimistic we'll get something done."
Randolph is making a healthy $17.3 million this season in the last year of a six-year deal the Trail Blazers gave him.
Randolph is the Grizzlies leading scorer (20.1 points per game) and rebounder (12.6). He had said before he wanted Paul Gasol money — $65 million over three years — but the new report says that he has backed off that demand. The Grizzlies had been thinking more like $10 million a year, they likely are meeting somewhere in the middle.
Randolph should want to get something done under this collective bargaining agreement because, whatever the new CBA looks like, you can bet it will be more restrictive than this one.
If Randolph gets a big deal, it leaves a question as to whether the smaller-market Grizzlies will be able to keep Gasol as well. It is known that other teams, including the New York Knicks, are interested in him. However, that free agent game will be played out under the yet unknown rules of the new CBA, which makes the situation about as predictable as Charlie Sheen.
- ocgunslinger - Mar 21, 2011 at 10:14 AM
Amare should be the one speaking out for the Knicks as he has earned the right. This Melo bozo thinks the NBA and this team revolves around him. He should STFU and play ball.
- thestudiokida - Mar 21, 2011 at 11:51 AM
If Z-Bo had half a brain he would try NOT to get overpaid this time so that he can remain with one team. He's been a productive player since he came in the NBA but has bounced around the league because of his contract. Just take a decent amount of money and make a home in Memphis!
- ibejeph - Mar 21, 2011 at 2:08 PM
Z-Bo is not a bad player and worth a good chunk of change. I just wouldn't give him too many years, so try to get a team option for year 3 or 4. He's got re-built knees and is kind of heavy. I don't know how long he'd hold up.
- mk2323 - Mar 21, 2011 at 5:28 PM
I agree…3 yr deal with a team option for a 4th at 11-13 mil yr.

Roasting meat over an open fire, or in a closed oven, creates an aroma that is unlike any other. Whether it is the smell of roast pork, duck, or chicken, it builds up one's anticipation for a scrumptious meal.
Roasting is part of most holiday celebrations because it produces delicious dinner table entrees. Because it's a slow-cooking method, roasting gives everyone time to catch up on each other's lives, while waiting for their roasted dinner to be served.
Tree Classics gives a rundown of several delicious roast recipes that everyone will love. Prepare the Christmas wine glasses, start the fire, and prepare a sumptuous feast with the family!
Peruvian Roast Chicken
It used to be served exclusively to the aristocrats of Peru, but the Peruvian roast chicken eventually reached the plates of the country's regular folks, too. To make your version of this dish as flavorful as the original, marinate your chicken in herbs and spices before roasting it over charcoal. Wait for the chicken's skin to turn golden brown, then serve it with French fries and a side dish of vegetable salad. Click here to see the ingredients and recipe for Peruvian roast chicken.
Lechon is a delicacy that originated from Spain. In the English language, it means roast suckling pig; a piglet as young as two or six weeks old is used as main ingredient for this dish. It takes two days to prepare a crispy and juicy Lechon. The first day is allotted to the marinating process, while the second day is when the actual roasting takes place. In the old days, people would roast their pig over wood fire or charcoal. Nowadays, many households prefer to use their oven. Learn how to make Lechon here.
Roast Goose
A traditional Christmas Eve dinner in Germany includes a roast goose with crispy, golden-brown skin. The secret to achieving the perfect roast goose is to measure its cooking time to accuracy. You also have to note that the goose's stuffing is just as important as the length of its oven stay. It includes rice, sweet apples, and aromatic leaves, among others. German households serve their roast goose with potatoes and cabbage on the side. You can find the complete roast goose recipe here.
Peking Duck
The legendary taste of the roast Peking duck is known throughout history to satiate even the appetite of kings and emperors.
In Beijing, where this delicious dish had originated, a Peking duck is forced-fed and slaughtered at six weeks old. It is then marinated with maltose syrup, a sweet seasoning, and hung in a cool place to dry. You can tell a duck that's been roasted to perfection through its crispy, thin skin. To achieve this, separate the duck's skin from its fat before roasting it. Now that you know, pour some white wine into your Christmas wine glasses, and serve your Peking Duck with Mandarin pancakes and scallions. Click here for a delicious Peking Duck recipe.
Roast Beef
Whether you eat it on a platter or as sandwich, the roast beef is sure to get your tummy full and satisfied.
To make a platter of succulent roast beef, you need premium beef sirloin first and foremost. Next, coat the meat with a generous amount of mustard flour, which, when mixed with the beef's fat will create a delectable, crusty outer layer. Set your oven to 375◦ F, put your beef inside, then lower the temperature after roasting the beef for 30 minutes; this will enable the meat to retain its natural juices throughout the remaining cooking time.

Roast Turkey
Thanksgiving has just passed, but you'll probably agree that no one has had enough of turkey meat. If you're planning to serve roast turkey for Christmas dinner, make it taste extra special. Nothing could be better than moist turkey meat, so keep its natural juice from being absorbed by its stuffing. You can do this by precooking the ingredients that you're going to stuff your turkey with. Once you have placed the turkey in the oven, brush it every now and then with a butter and herbs mixture. Here is how you can make roast turkey with herbs.
Make your Christmas Eve dinner with your loved ones memorable with one or two of these roast recipes.
