The confrontations between police and demonstrators at the Stonewall Inn in New York City the weekend of June 27-29, 1969 mark the beginning of the modern glbtq movement for equal rights.
Formed soon after the Stonewall Riots of 1969, the short-lived but influential Gay Liberation Front brought a new militancy to the movement that became known as gay liberation.
The sexual revolution of post-World War II America changed sexual and gender roles profoundly.
"Leather" is a blanket term for a large array of sexual preferences, identities, relationship structures, and social organizations loosely tied together by the thread of what is conventionally understood as sadomasochistic sex.
Although best known for her crusade for women's suffrage, Susan B. Anthony spoke out on a range of feminist issues.
With reports from hundreds of sub-Saharan African locales of male-male sexual relations and from about fifty of female-female sexual relations, it is clear that same-sex sexual relations existed in traditional African societies, though varying in forms and in the degree of public acceptance
Androgyny, a psychological blending of gender traits, has long been embraced by strong women, soft men, members of queer communities, and others who do not easily fit into traditionally defined gender categories.
A cultural crossroads between Asia and Europe, Russia has a long, rich, and often violent heritage of varied influences and stark confrontations in regard to its patterns of same-sex love.
Scout leader Geoffrey McGrath.
On April 17, 2014, following attempts to pressure an openly gay scoutmaster to step down and then the church which sponsors the troop to fire him, the Boy Scouts of America revoked the charter of a church-sponsored troop. The decision bars the Rainier Beach United Methodist Church and its 15 scouts from using logos, uniforms, and names associated with the Boy Scouts as long as the troop is led by scoutmaster Geoffrey McGrath. The decision also reignites the controversy over the organization's contentious policy on homosexuality.
On May 24, 2013, the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America voted to end its longstanding ban on gay scouts but retained its ban on adult leaders and employees, a change in policy the BSA leadership hoped would staunch its hemorrhaging in membership and donations without completely alienating the conservative religious groups that sponsor most of its troops. The enforcement of its ban on adult leaders, however, exposes the fallacy in what was largely a cynical publicity ploy.
On April 17, a Boy Scouts spokesman issued a statement saying that because the Rainier Beach United Methodist Church "no longer agrees to the terms of the BSA chartered organization agreement, which includes following BSA policies, it is no longer authorized to offer the Scouting program."
In late March, the BSA severed ties with McGrath when it learned that he was openly gay as a result of an interview he gave to a Seattle newspaper. McGrath, a software engineer who is married to his longtime partner, spoke about his sexual orientation in an article profiling the troop, which was formed last year in a south Seattle neighborhood heavily populated by immigrants and lower-income families. In response to BSA's directive that he step down, McGrath said that he had no intention of complying unless he was instructed to do so by the church of which he is a longtime member.
Dr. Monica Corsaro, pastor of Rainier Beach United Methodist Church, has refused to replace McGrath as their scout leader: "Geoffrey is our Scoutmaster and Geoffrey will remain our Scoutmaster," she said.
McGrath also received support from Seattle's mayor and City Council, who sent a letter on his behalf to BSA's Seattle-area Council president Rob McKenna. "This act of discriminating is deeply disturbing," they wrote, adding that the BSA's decision on McGrath undermines its credibility in teaching admirable values.
However, in a letter dated April 17, Steven P. McGowan of the Boy Scouts of America's General Council told the church that its charter has been revoked for refusing to oust McGrath.
"As you are aware, the policy of the Boy Scouts of America does not allow open or avowed homosexuals to serve as adult volunteer leaders. . . . Nevertheless, Rainier Beach United Methodist Church has stated that it will not remove [McGrath] as a leader and will continue to allow him to serve as an adult leader in violation of the charter agreement and the policies of the Boy Scouts of America.
"As a result of this refusal to comply with the policies, guidelines, rules, and regulations of the Boy Scouts of America, Rainer Beach United Methodist Church is hereby advised that it is no longer an authorized chartered organization and may no longer use the Scouting program or any of its registered marks or brands."
Corsaro said the BSA's revocation of its charter was not a surprise, but was nevertheless disappointing. "Breaking us up like this seems to go against everything the Boy Scouts is about," she said.
Corsaro and McGrath have hired an attorney, and said they believe BSA is infringing on their religious freedom, since the organization expects churches to choose their scoutmasters.
Corsaro said in a statement, "As a Reconciling Congregation, it's important to us that we are open to all people. It's a part of our values that the spirit of inclusion is also reflected in the Boy Scout Troop we charter. The congregation stands with Geoff, because his work with this Troop reflects the spirit and the values of Rainier Beach United Methodist Church."
Zach Wahls, Executive Director of Scouts for Equality, a national organization dedicated to ending the BSA's ban on gay members and leaders, said, "The Boy Scouts' decisions only serve to hurt a group of boys who need the values and leadership of someone like Scoutmaster McGrath."
"Unfortunately," Wahls added, "the BSA's decision calls into question its commitment to leadership and values by perpetuating an outmoded policy rooted in fear and discrimination. History will show that today's announcement is a self-inflicted wound."
The debate over whether to allow gays in scouting has been a costly one for the Boy Scouts, which has lost members, donors, and prestige as a result of its homophobic policies.
The resolution that ended the ban on members was vehemently opposed by conservative parents and volunteers and the usual suspects, such as hate groups like the Family Research Council, religious organizations like the Southern Baptist Convention, and assorted bigots. Many anti-gay figures, including Texas Governor Rick Perry and Brian Brown of the National Organization for Marriage, issued statements of deep disappointment at the outcome of the vote.
But, as Ari Ezra Waldman observed at Towleroad, the new policy adopted last year is actually worse than the old one. "Allowing gay scouts seems like a step forward," Waldman wrote. "But the exclusive focus on gay youth proves that this 'step forward' is anything but a good thing. In fact, it's the worst possible result and shows the Scouts' true anti-gay colors. Gay kids are being let into the Boy Scouts not because the Scouts recognize the inherent equality of all American youth, but rather to more directly implement the organization's anti-gay dogma."
Waldman observed then that "The continued ban on gay scout leaders, reinforces the Scout message that homosexuality is wrong: The Scouts are saying that, as a child, you don't know who or what you are, so we will help you find yourself; as an adult, your choice to be gay, in violation of morality and God, makes you a negative influence on children."
Certainly, the ban on gay adult volunteers and leaders sends the strong message that gay people are dangerous to children. This message was strongly denounced by the New York Times editorial board, which declared that "The Boy Scouts organization--by tolerating a loathsome belief, pressed by religious activists, that equates homosexuality with deviance--has committed itself to rejecting good, dedicated leaders. It should understand that scouting's mission does not have to dovetail with right-wing agendas and bigotry. The scout movement was built a century ago simply upon interests 'universal among boys'--outdoor skills and adventure--and on values of citizenship and decency. It's a shame the Boy Scouts have allowed bigotry to tarnish this tradition."
The Boy Scouts' continuing discrimination against gay people will only hasten its descent into irrelevance. Until the organization ends its bigotry, it will be defined by it.

Most pet owners say they are willing to do anything to give their pets long, healthy, happy lives, just like they would for their human family members. So, why feed, reward or supplement them with anything but the best? Pets are part of the family and have their own set of dietary and hygienic needs that can be amply addressed through natural products. Animal-loving, natural lifestyle customers will surely embrace these products to support many more years with their furry friends.
For some, growing old gracefully means proudly sporting strands of gray and championing laugh lines as signs of a life well lived. Others, however, take a "turn back the clock" approach. For this group, products that support healthy skin and hair are must-haves in their lives. While they won't stop the hands of time, natural age-support products can help keep an age-conscious customer looking and feeling great.
Whether your customers come in with Shirley Temple curls, a slicked-back pompadour or a multicolored mohawk, how their hair looks and feels says a lot about who they are. When it comes to hair loss, thinning and damage, both men and women depend on all-natural ingredients to put the personality and life back into their hair.
With winter upon us, cold air leaves skin feeling rough and dry. To combat Old Man Winter, we've seen a resurgence of sea-derived skincare ingredients that are beneficial for all skin types by reducing signs of aging, rejuvenating dehydrated skin and supporting healthy skin.
According to the Natural Marketing Institute (NMI), over 400 registered green logos exist worldwide (1). Most consumers say they are more likely to buy products with green seals, says NMI (1), and there are good reasons why. Certifications help a product standout in saturated markets.
Your customers are vigilant about keeping their homes free of chemicals, so why forget their faces? Help them redefine their washing routines and find the natural facial cleanser that's right for them.
There's nothing more soothing after a stressful day than drawing a warm bath, lighting a few candles and cracking open a bottle of…essential oil!
Hair thinning and loss for both men and women happen for different reasons depending on the individual; some feel their fate is out of their hands as they see generations of family members before them develop shiny heads and spots while others take out the stress of the day on their scalps. Regardless, damage to hair structure is a common underlying cause.
Are some of your best-selling skincare products wrinkle fighters, dark spot lighteners and moisture infusers? From those first fine lines to deep-set creases, many men and women want to turn back the hands of time—and they're coming to you for help.
We all know that fussy child who has refused to eat anything but chicken nuggets for weeks on end. "It's a phase," her parents say. "She'll grow out of it soon." They're right to a certain extent. All children go through some amount of "stranger danger" with foods, not wanting to eat anything but a few familiar items. Too many kids—from the very young to teenagers—never learn to eat a balanced diet, however.

Column as I see 'em …
Let's kick this week off with some kudos for a change.
Topping the list is a shout out to the board of elections for doing the obvious and moving the remaining polling places from the rural areas into the city.
I know that isn't sitting well with some folks who live in the western part of the county and other areas because they now have to drive into town to vote.
They like the tradition of voting within their own precinct, and have done so since Hector was a pup.
When it comes to clothing in the Brock household, there is a constant debate about quantity vs. quality between my husband and me.
This debate isn't always verbalized, sometimes it's internalized, but we like to give each other a lot of good-spirited grief.
I'm a sucker for a good deal, so, as you can probably imagine, I'm on the quantity side of the discussion. I would rather spend less on items individually and get a whole heck of a lot of them.
Well, the best news I can share with you is that spring is only 53 days away. I am so ready for warm. Even the dogs are complaining about the cold, in their own way. It's got to be a pretty inviting scent to get them to roam very far from the door. When the door opens they make a beeline straight for the wood stove. It's too funny.

PHOENIX -- The Peoria Police Department will be paying certain sex offenders a visit on Thursday to make sure they are not participating in any Halloween activities.
"They're not allowed to have any decorations on their home," said Amanda Jacinto with Peoria Police. "They're also not allowed to urn on their lights so to appear that they're handing out candy or that they're involved in Halloween."
The ban on participating in Halloween activities applies to certain Level 2 (moderate risk) and Level 3 (high risk) sex offenders. Arizona does not have a law in place specifically restricting sex offenders from marking Halloween.
Each offender Peoria Police will visit was told not to participate in Halloween during their sentencing.
Jacinto said the offenders cannot attend Halloween events where children are present and may not drink nor possess alcohol.

The Digs | Mary's Farm
Yet she never writes without saying how much she misses her home here, and the pond, and the spot under the trees where the artist now struggles to find, and keep, the right light. And so, for the artist, these are landscapes, driven by light and shadow, color and pattern — a scene hopefully captured in a split second. But for me, so much is invested here. These places are deeply layered in time and circumstance, an archaeological dig of stories hidden beneath the green and ever-beautiful earth.

The invention is optical assembly for use in a barcode reader that includes a frame having a rear housing and a pair of arms outwardly extended from the housing. An optical card containing an imaging lens is slidably received in a rear guideway situated between the arms. An aperture card is slidably received in a front guideway situated between the arms in front of the lens. Lamp support brackets are also mounted to either side of the arms. Each bracket contains a pair of LEDs that are aligned in coplanar relation with the imaging lens. A cylindrical lens is mounted in front of the lamp support brackets within the arms of the frame to magnify and focus the illumination from the LED upon a target in barcode space. A horizontally extended field stop aperture is positioned in front of each LED.
1. An optical assembly for use in a reader having an optical axis that includes
a support frame having a rear housing containing a solid state imager,
an single imaging lens mounted in said frame for focusing a target image upon said solid state imager along a linear optical axis, an illumination unit mounted in coplanar alignment on each side of said frame,
each unit containing at least one lamp mounted behind a field stop aperture, and
a cylindrical illumination lens mounted in front of each field stop aperture for focussing a horizontal line of light upon a target in barcode space, wherein the cylindrical lenses are contained within an elongated, semi-circular optical element that passes perpendicularly across said optical axis of said optical element having a central opening therein through which a target image can pass undisturbed.
2. The optical assembly of claim 1, wherein each cylindrical lens further includes a single axis diffuser for uniformly distributing light across a target.
3. The optical assembly of claim 1, wherein each illumination unit contains at least two side-by-side light emitting diodes.
4. The optical assembly of claim 3, wherein at least two light emitting diodes contained in each illumination unit are angularly offset one from the other to more uniformly illuminate the entire target.
5. The optical assembly of claim 4 wherein said imaging lens and said light emitting diodes lie in a common plane.
6. The optical assembly of claim 2, wherein said diffuser is a single axis gradient diffuser.
7. The optical assembly of claim 1 wherein said frame further includes a rear guideway that removably supports an optical card containing the imaging lens.
8. The optical assembly of claim 7 wherein said frame further includes a front guideway and an aperture card removably supported in said front guideway, said aperture card containing a stop aperture that is centered upon the optical axis of the system.
9. The optical assembly of claim 8 wherein said stop aperture is elongated in a vertical direction.
10. The optical assembly of claim 6 wherein each diffuser has 40� of diffusion along one side edge nearest the optical axis of the system, and 5� of diffusion along the opposite side edge.
This invention relates to an optical assembly for use in a barcode reader and, in particular, to an optical assembly that is capable of maximizing the light produced by a plurality of light emitting diodes to provide a high intensity image of a barcode target at the image recording surface of a solid state imager.
Although the advantages associated with light emitting diodes (LEDs) when used in barcode scanning equipment are well known, the level of the intensity produced by this type of lamp is relatively low when compared to other light sources such as halogen lamps or arc lamps. In an effort to improve the effectiveness of light emitting diodes in this application, it is sometimes customary to employ a relatively large number of lamps aligned in one or more rows above or below the imaging lens. As a result, the target region, as well as the periphery of the target region, are flooded with an excessive amount of light. This approach, however, is space consuming and poses certain assembly and alignment problems.
Optical units have also been devised for providing coplanar illumination wherein the light emitting diodes are mounted in the same plane as the imaging onto both sides of the imaging lens. The light from the light emitting diodes is further passed through magnifying lens to project the light onto the target region. Additionally, diffusers are used in association with the LEDs to more uniformly distribute the light within the target area. Here again, these optical units overcome many of the problems associated with LED illumination systems. They nevertheless pose certain other problems relating to bringing the components together in assembly to provide a compact, easy to install and adjust unit suitable for use in a hand-held long range scanner as opposed to a scanner that reads barcodes in contact.
It is, therefore, a primary object of the present invention to improve barcode readers.
A further object of the invention is to improve hand-held barcode scanners for long range illumination and reading of a barcode target.
A still further object of the present invention is to improve optical devices for use in barcode scanners which are capable of producing a sharply defined line of illumination in barcode space using light emitting diodes.
Another object of the present invention is to simplify the assembly of barcode readers using coplanar light emitting diode illumination systems.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a single molded frame for holding and positioning the components of a barcode reader.
Yet a further object of the present invention is to more effectively utilize the light emitted by LEDs in a barcode scanner.
These and other objects of the present invention are attained by means of an optical assembly for use in a barcode reader that includes a molded support frame having a rear housing and a pair of arms outwardly extending from the front of the housing. A solid state imager is contained in the housing and an imaging lens is slidably contained between the arms in a rear guideway for focusing an image in barcode space along an optical axis onto the image recording surface of the solid state imager. An aperture card is also slidably contained between the arms in a second front guideway. The aperture card has a vertically disposed stop aperture which is centered about the optical axis of the system. A lamp support unit is mounted on the arms on either side of the imaging lens. Each unit contains a pair of light emitting diodes that are in coplanar alignment with the imaging lens and a horizontally disposed field aperture positioned in front of the light emitting diodes. A single horizontally extended half cylinder optical element is mounted at the distal end of the two arms so that the optical element is centered upon the optical axis of the system with the plano surface facing the imaging lens in perpendicular alignment with the optical axis. An opening is formed in the center of the optical element through which an image of a barcode target can pass optically undisturbed. The outer ends of the optical element form cylindrical lenses for magnifying and focussing the light passing through the two stop apertures in barcode space. A single axis diffuser is positioned at the piano surface of each cylindrical lens which distributes the light from the LEDs horizontally and homogenizes the light across the barcode target area.
For a better understanding of these and other objects of the present invention, reference will be made to the following detailed description of the invention which is to be read in association with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a hand-held barcode reader housing the optical assembly of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view showing the optical assembly encompassing the teachings of the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a top plan view of the optical assembly illustrated in FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a slightly enlarged exploded view in perspective of the present optical assembly; and
FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the back of the half cylinder element.
Turning initially to FIG. 1, there is shown a hand-held long-range barcode scanner 10 that houses the optical assembly 12 of the present invention. The scanner includes a handle 13 that can be easily grasped and held by the user so that the scanner can be rapidly trained upon a barcode target situated some distance from the user. The scanner further includes a contoured reader head 14 mounted on the top of the handle and a trigger 15 for activating the scanner. The scanner preferably is a light-weight, truly portable device that can be easily held and carried about without tiring the user. Accordingly, the reading components of the instrument must be compact, yet easily assembled, aligned and installed within the reader head. As will be explained in detail below, the apparatus of the present invention provides all these advantages while at the same time, delivering an extremely sharp, well-defined line of illumination in barcode space that can be accurately read by a solid state imager.
With further reference to FIGS. 2-5, the optical assembly 12 embodying the teachings of the present invention includes a single piece frame 19 molded from high strength lightweight plastic. The frame further includes a rectangular-shaped housing 20 and a pair of forwardly extended arms 21--21. The arms, as viewed from above, in FIG. 3 are in an X configuration with an elongated optical element 25 mounted at the distal end of the arms, the function of which will be explained in greater detail below.
A lens card 26 (FIG. 4) is slidably received within a vertically disposed guideway 27 located at the neck formed by the arms. The lens card is molded from a single material and includes a flat lens holder 28 surrounding a single imaging lens 30. The bottom surface 31 of the holder is arcuate-shaped and adapted to seat within a complimentary groove situated in the bottom of the guideway. A pair of tabs 32--32 are carried on the front face of the lens holder which, in assembly, rests on the top surface of stanchions 33, which form the front rails of the guideway. The tab serves to locate the imaging lens within the frame and prevents the lens card from being inserted into the frame in an inverted position.
Once properly mounted in the frame, the imaging lens defines the optical axis 35 (FIG. 2) of the system. A solid state image sensor or imager 37, which preferably is a charge coupled device (CCD), is mounted within a support 38 and is coupled to a flexible ribbon connector 39 by a series of leads 40 mounted along the top apron 41 of the support. The support is passed downwardly into the housing against locating ribs 42--42 molded into the back wall of the housing, and is seated upon the floor 43 of the housing. The solid state imager is aligned within the housing so that it is centered upon the optical axis of the system a given distance from the imaging lens so that an image of a target 44 in barcode space is focused upon the image recording surface of the imager by the imaging lens. A system for mounting an image sensor in an imaging device is described in detail in a copending application entitled "Image Sensor Mounting System" filed concurrently herewith, assigned to the Assignee of the present invention, and incorporated herein by reference.
An aperture card 45 is slidably contained within a second guideway 47 positioned in front of the first guideway at the neck of the "X" shaped arms. The aperture card contains a vertically-extended stop aperture 48 that is centered upon the horizontal optical axis of the system. When the card is mounted in the guideway, the vertical orientated long dimension of the aperture is arranged so that the long dimension is parallel to the longer dimension of a one-dimensional (1D) barcode target situated in the object plane 50 of the imaging lens.
The terms horizontal and vertical are used herein with respect to relative locations of various components of the optical system and not necessary as to the exact location of the components in space.
A pair of lamp brackets 51--51 are mounted on either side of the frame at the neck. Each bracket is of similar construction and includes a platform 53 and a front wall 54. As best illustrated in FIG. 4 each platform has a pair of clips 54 and 55 mounted thereon that are perpendicularly aligned with the optical axis of the system. A light emitting diode (LED) 57 is mounted in each clip so that the distal end of each lamp lies substantially within the plane 60 (FIG. 3) described by the imaging lens to finish the system with what is known as coplanar illumination.
The front wall 34 of each lamp bracket contains a horizontally disposed field stop 62 that is positioned immediately in front of the LEDs preferably almost in contact with the lamps.
The elongated optical element 25 mounted at the distal end of the frame arms is shown in greater detail in FIGS. 4 and 5. The optical element is formed of an elongated semicircular shaped piece of optical glass having a rectangular-shaped opening 65 centrally formed therein. The opening is of a size and shape such that an image of a target in barcode space can freely pass optically undisturbed as it moves along the optical axis 35 of the system.
Cylindrical lens elements 67--67 are located on either side of the opening through which illumination from the LEDs pass. Each cylindrical lens images the field stop in barcode space to produce a sharp horizontal line of illumination at the target. A single axis diffuser 70--70 is located at the plano light entrance face of each cylindrical lens, which serve to homogenize the light in a horizontal plane and thus causes the light energy to be uniformly distributed within the target area. The diffuser can be either a gradient or a non-gradient diffuser. Preferably, a gradient diffuser is employed having 5� of diffusion at its outer edge, and 40� of diffusion at its inner edge.
The LEDs mounted in the inboard clips 54 of each lamp bracket is canted at an angle with respect to the optical axis so that the light beam from the lamps is directed to one outer side edge of the target region. The lamps mounted in the outboard clips 55 are similarly canted to direct the light beams from the outboard lamps toward the center of the target region. The positioning of the lamps along with the use of a single axis diffuser and a field stop apparatus serves to create a sharp uniform line of light across the barcode target that can be accurately recorded by the CCD imager.
As illustrated in FIG. 4, the distal end of each arm of the frame contains an arcuate-shaped camming surface 71 that lies in a vertical plane that is parallel with the optical axis of the system. The camming surfaces are received in complimentary cut-outs 74 formed in the plano back surface of the optical element 25 with the cut-outs being centered upon the center line of 80 of the optical element 25. Preferably, each camming surface describes arc segments of a circle about which the cylindrical illumination lenses carried by the elongated optical element 25 can be rotatably adjusted within the plane described by the arc segments. The center of curvature of the camming surfaces are coincident with the center of curvature of the front surface 68 of the optical element 67. Accordingly, the illuminator lenses can be adjusted about the arc segments so that the line of illumination that is produced is coincident with the object plane of the imaging lens. As can be seen, a slight rotation of the element about the camming surface will angularly offset the plano entrance face of the two cylindrical lenses with respect to the axis of the incoming light beam, thus altering the position of the line of light produced in the plane of the barcode target. Accordingly, during assembly of the optical reader components on the frame, the line of illumination can be easily and accurately adjusted in barcode space. Once adjusted the optical element is permanently locked in place by ultrasonically welding the optical element to the frame. Any other means for holding the optical element 25 in a desired position within the frame may be similarly employed without departing from the teachings of the present invention.
One example of an optical assembly suitable for use in a barcode reader involves a single element plastic lens having a focal length of approximately 30 mm.
The lens is positioned approx 39 mm in front of a linear array CCD, so an image of a target in barcode space is formed at the image plane of the lens at a magnification of approx 1/3.5�. The aperture stop of the lens can be either elliptical or rectangular in shape, having an aspect ratio of at least 3:1 and preferably 6.0 or 8:1. The longer dimension of the aperture is oriented vertically, so the long dimension of the aperture is parallel to the longer dimension of a 1D barcode. The CCD of choice is a chip developed specifically for barcode reading, the photosensitive elements (pixels) having a 25:1 aspect ratio. Again, the longer dimension of the pixels will be aligned parallel to the barcode.
The illumination system consists of four LEDs in standard T 13/4 packages. Two LEDs will be arrayed on either side of the imaging lens. The LEDs will lie in the same plane as the imaging lens, to provide coplanar illumination. In front of the LEDs, almost in contact with them, is a field stop. The field stop is simply a horizontal slit having a height of about 0.040 to 0.050". The field stop is imaged into barcode space by a cylindrical lens having a focal length of about 25 mm. The magnification of the cylinder lens is approx 6�, so the result is a sharp horizontal line, 0.24" to 0.36" in height. Also included in the illumination system is a single axis diffuser, located in contact with the cylinder lens. This diffuser serves to homogenize the light in the horizontal plane, improving the uniformity of the distribution of the light.
While this invention has been explained with reference to the structure disclosed herein, it is not confined to the details set forth, and this invention is intended to cover any modifications and changes as may come within the scope of the following claims:

This summer, the Smart Choices Program TM will appear on hundreds of products in supermarkets and other retail outlets across the country. This first-ever uniform front-of-pack nutrition labeling program, developed by a diverse coalition of scientists, nutritionists, consumer organizations and food industry leaders is designed to promote public health by helping shoppers make smarter food and beverage choices within product categories.
Unlike nutrient scoring systems, rankings or store-based programs, the Smart Choices Program uses a single, green check mark on the front of the product package to provide "at-a-glance" assurance that a product has met strict science-based nutrition criteria derived from the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, reports from the Institute of Medicine and other sources of authoritative nutrition guidance. Qualifying products also will display a calorie indicator on-pack that identifies calories per serving and servings per container.
Participating companies with their own "better for you" nutrition labeling symbols have begun replacing them with the Smart Choices Program. Because of its scope and the science behind the new nutrition labeling system, this new program will bring clarity and consistency to the U.S. marketplace. Now shoppers will have a consistent program to identify smarter food and beverage choices, regardless of the stores they shop in or brands they buy.
"The coalition worked very hard to develop nutrition criteria that met the highest of standards and a symbol consumers would appreciate and recognize when making choices at the point of purchase," said Eileen T. Kennedy, DSc, RD, Dean of the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University. "By providing a single, simple communication on the front of the package, the Smart Choices Program can help alleviate confusion in the supermarket and help today's busy shoppers make smarter choices for their families in store and at h

Awesome shoe BUT...
I bought these shoes for running the muddy trails here in the north west (Portland)I needed waterproof for sure and the Endurus deliver. The only problem is that there is very poor traction on any wet smooth surface (think wood bridges or steel grates) I don't think it is limited to the Endurus model as my wife bought a pair of Ultra 103 XCRs and had the same DANGEROUS issue of slippage. Also the adjustment knob on mine fell off the first day. North Face is great about warranty so no issue there. Great fit but very slippery

Gate Quadrilogy1/24/2013
The Baldur's Gate boxed set is a lot of role-playing for the money. I am not all the way through it yet, but estimate the full play-through time at 100 hours+. As a long-time D&D buff, I find the logic-puzzles and combat encounters entertaining and challenging. I recommend the set.

Course Description:
Terahertz (THz) spectroscopy is advantageous in analytical chemistry because it can identify noncovalent bonds and intermolecular interactions of chemical compounds. Recent advances in THz components such as ultrashort pulsed lasers and photoconductive antennas, have improved the sensitivity of THz time-domain (TDS) spectroscopy and have made the THz spectroscopic imaging possible. THz spectroscopic imaging can reveal hydrogen bond distributions and will be a very powerful tool in biology, pharmacology, and life sciences.
This short course is for THz beginners, which includes basic terahertz instrumentation training of 120 min. The THz spectroscopy and imaging techniques are valuable for the process analytical technology (PAT) and diagnosis for breast cancer or burned skin, which are lectured by two keynote speakers. The pharmaceutical cocrystals can be distinguished by THz spectroscopy which is much easier than by Raman spectroscopy. The basic analytical methods of the pharmaceutical cocrystals and collagen fibers of skins are also lectured.Target Audience:
1. Developers of pharmaceutical tablets
2. Researchers and developers of cancer and burn diagnoses
3. Developers of cosmetics
4. Researchers using infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy

Tourism NI is responsible for the development of tourism and the marketing of Northern Ireland as a tourist destination to visitors within Northern Ireland and from the Republic of Ireland.
Trading Standards is calling on local people to expose scams and help stop more people from falling prey to clever cons that fleece them of thousands of pounds.
Scams Awareness Month runs throughout July and this year's campaign "Don't be Rushed, Don't be Hushed" aims to highlight how scams continue to flourish when people stay silent.
The national campaign will be supported locally by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment's Trading Standards Service.
The campaign is asking people to keep two things in mind whenever they receive an unsolicited approach or when looking for goods or services: don't be rushed and don't be hushed. People should take their time making a decision and be sure of their facts before parting with money or personal information, and speak out when they think they've spotted a scam.
Armagh has been awarded official 'purple flag' status, recognising it as a vibrant, well-managed, welcoming and diverse city to visit during the evening.
Purple Flag is recognised across the UK and Ireland as the 'gold standard' accreditation scheme for raising city and town centre standards and is widely sought after.
Enterprise Trade and Investment Minister Jonathan Bell has said he will continue to lobby the UK Government to address issues around reducing VAT on accommodation and hospitality.
Speaking at the British Hospitality Association (BHA) Summit in London, which was also attended by the city's Mayor Boris Johnson, the Minister said the current VAT rate on hospitality meant opportunities were being lost in Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK in terms of visitor numbers and revenue.
Jonathan Bell said: "The theme of this year's BHA Summit is 'Together We Are Stronger' and that I believe that is certainly the case as far as the VAT issue is concerned.
A group of 15 influential international journalists with an interest in the TV and film industry recently took a four day trip to visit local screen locations and experience more of what Northern Ireland has to offer.
Tourism NI designed and delivered their itinerary with one of the highlights of the visit a meeting with Belfast's punk legend and music aficionado, Terri Hooley, who was the inspiration for the blockbuster biographical film "Good Vibrations".

Works great...
My original bite valve leaked most of it's life, so I was sceptical about replacing it with the same style. After I made the switch all I could think was why did I wait so long..!! It was a snap to switch out (took longer to pull the old one off than to put the new one on), and it doesn't leak..!! I've tried bite valves with a shut-off valves and they work, but I'm too lazy to turn a valave on and off for every drink. A bite valve is the right fit for me.

Arthur "T-Boy" Ross
Arthur Ross (February 28, 1949 – June, 1996)[1] was an American singer and songwriter most notable for his collaborations with Leon Ware. He was the younger brother of legendary entertainer Diana Ross.
Born in Detroit, Michigan, Ross hung around rougher sections of Detroit while his elder sister went on to fame as lead singer of The Supremes in the 1960s and later solo fame in the 1970s. Shortly after Diana Ross had established herself on her own, she recruited him to Motown as an appointed songwriter in 1972. Ross hooked up with songwriter Leon Ware and together the duo wrote hits for acts such as Michael Jackson, The Miracles and Marvin Gaye. Among the hits were the Top 20 "I Wanna Be Where You Are" and "I Want You".
T-Boy had a falling out with Ware during recording sessions for Marvin Gaye's I Want You album. He quit the project and, set on becoming a singer, released his first album for Motown Records in 1979, Changes. Despite help from artists such as Joe Sample, it sold only 12,000 copies.[2] Fed up with the business, Ross retired from music in the early 1980s, returning to the Motor City where he lived in Detroit seclusion away from family members.
During the weekend of June 22–23, 1996,[2] police found the decaying bodies of Ross and his wife Patricia Ann Robinson in a basement inside another person's dilapidated home in Oak Park, Michigan, a suburb bordering Detroit known for its homicides and violent crime.[2] The two of them were reportedly bound and gagged and died of suffocation. It was estimated that the bodies had been there for several days to a week. The date of the couple's deaths was estimated to be May 30, 1996.[1][1] Ross was 47 years old and his wife was 54.[1][1][2] Oddly, T-Boy was not reported missing by his family. He had been scheduled to appear in a downtown Detroit courtroom on June 26, 1996, at a hearing on three charges of possessing a controlled substance.[2]
His work with Ware continues to be covered. "I Want You" has been covered by the late Robert Palmer, Madonna, Michael McDonald, and even Diana Ross herself on her 2007 album I Love You.
His sole rare album on Motown, Changes, was finally released on CD in August 2012. The album opens with his most covered song, "I Want You" and closes with another self-penned song "To the Baby", which he wrote for big sister Diana, a long-delayed tribute to her first two daughters.
