FYI, the perpetrator being intoxicated (or under the influence) is not a legal defense in cases of sexual assault. Furthermore, instead of placing blame on the woman for being too intoxicated, it is the other individuals responsibility to NOT engage in sexual activity with someone who is that intoxicated.
Common sense tells us when someone is too intoxicated to get behind a wheel, make an important descision, etc., which is why the sexual assault laws include protections for individuals who are "incapacitated" or otherwise too intoxicated to consent to sexual activity. The problem with our culture, and University culture in particular, is that people like you believe women "cry" rape because they make a descision they regret. The reality is, under these kinds of circumstances, they don't clearly KNOW what happened. For those of you who think she ran to the police, try finding out more about the reporting laws in MI. If someone reports to the hospital, it is the hospital who contact police in cases of suspected sexual assault...therefore she did not file a "false report". She cooperated with an investigation.
Instead of blaming this woman, and others like her, we need to start holding accountable the persons who take advantage of someone in her state...If you see someone drinking straight from a bottle, or other clear signs of intoxication (can't walk straight, falling down, throwing up) it is NOT OK to make sexual advances toward them! Bottom line.
For those of you who seem to think the "remorse" arguement is valid, I think you would benefit from exploring your common sense. There are very few of us who have EVER gone through life having not done something that we "regret" or wish we didn't do while under the influence or in some other context. Where and what, however is the benefit to an individual (who "regrets" having engaged in some form of sexual activity with someone)to go to the police? Shame and regret keep people in silence far more often than the reverse. Shame of being raped, also keeps people in silence far more often than not. I, for example, would not think the sensible solution to "regrettable" sex would be to go to the police. There is absolutely NO benefit to that and in fact, the after effect are much more damning (evidenced by the posts here) than if she were to be to be silent. Anyone who has been victimized knows the police and court system rarely ever "vindicate" them or confirm their character. You are often judged much more harshly, no matter what the evidence (e.g., videotaped, bloodied, etc., ). For those of you who say she keeps getting the facts wrong...how about considering your source. It's a very sad day when you cite your facts from a local newspaper and email...
It was Judge Brown...
Ummm...perhaps then you missed the part where McCain tried at least 3x's to pronounce Ahmadinejad...and so long as were talking about pronounciation...Obama did in fact, pronounce Pakistan correctly...
Go to the site slackeruprising.com to get the film, it's available next Tuesday
Obama's been campaigning in some of the most rural parts of Ohio at least...Give the man a break...does it matter so much that he comes to your town in the next 60 days??? Or does it matter that he'll make a difference in your town once elected??? Be mindful that he also has advisors that are helping him to decided in a stratigic way as to the areas he needs to concentrate on. Your town is obviously important, but he needs to get to some of the towns in states with the most electoral votes in order to win! I want him to go to the places that that will untimately help him get in office...please be understanding.
I am a HUGE Obama supporter who tuned in to hear Palin's speech since I, like most of the country knew nothing about her. I admit she delivered a good speech and if I happened to be a swing voter (which I'm not) I might be influenced by the seemingly "good" points she made until....I did some research...
Do your research folks. Don't make descisions based on ONE speech that had a myrid of twisted facts and was based more on an intention to make her "appear" to be a strong leader rather than on whether or not she can lead.
I would agree with the comment that you made about safe neighborhoods being targets of crime because they are otherwise considered "safe" by unsuspecting residents. I would also agree with taking personal measures of safety...for both women and men..
However, the arguments made by you and others that we should "know better" than to go out at night alone is contradictory to your earlier statement since the daylight does not provide any more protection than an otherwise seemingly "safe" neighborhood. You may be a woman who has made a personal decision not to go out at night alone...I would never argue with any measure that someone takes to personally ensure their own safety, but you must know...since these crimes are a matter of someone else's choice...you have (in all actuality) very little control over when, where and how you might be targeted or victimized.
It's easier to blame the victim and their parents because we feel less vulnerable...when we make those assertions...we believe that victimization can't happen to us because we make "good choices"...it sets us apart from "the others" and makes us feel safe. Unfortunately, that rationale actually keeps us vulnerable and in fact, gives more power to criminals like this guy...who thinks he can get away with something like this since "those women" had no business being out after dark in the first place...I pray that your safety measures will keep you and others who practice them safe...I also pray that in the event that they don't...your not met with the same critizism...
Please also realize how hurtful your comments are to the two women who lived through and survived these attacks....

Snooker legend Willie Thorne pays tribute to tragic Hollywood actor Robin Williams
Posted: August 12, 2014|
Snooker commentator and former star Willie Thorne has paid tribute to American comedian and movie actor Robin Williams, who is reported to have taken his own life at his home in California, yesterday.
The much-loved Leicester legend, whose own struggle with depression is well documented in his 2011 autobiography 'Taking A Punt On My Life', took to Twitter today, as news emerged of the tragic film star's apparent suicide, aged 63.
Willie, 60, posted: "Sorry to hear of Robin Williams's passing. A comedy genius, great actor. Depression is a horrible thing. RIP."
He then Tweeted a gallery of screen shots from some of Williams's best known TV shows and films .
They include Mork and Mindy; Good Morning Vietnam, Mrs Doubtfire, The Fisher King, and Good Will Hunting, for which he won an Oscar.
"Wow! How good was he! RIP", wrote Willie.
Williams's publicist said in a statement that he had been "battling severe depression".
His death has affected Willie, who was unavailable to be interviewed at this time.
However, using Twitter to express his thoughts and feelings to his 10,000 followers, he said: "I've suffered from addiction and depression for many years.
"People say that suicide is a coward's way out, but it's impossible to judge. RIP-RW."
In his autobiography, Willie spoke openly about the dark depression that stalked him behind the cheerful smile he presented to the world.
He also wrote candidly about his gambling addiction, debt and divorce, which, all combined, pushed him to the brink – and an attempt at ending his own life.
Willie told The Telegraph in 2011: "It wasn't a cry for help, I wanted to go, it seemed the only way out of the mess I'd made of my life."
The BBC commentator also posted a poignant and moving message penned by popular English actor, author, comedian and TV presenter, Stephen Fry.
It said: "If you know someone who is depressed, please resolve to never ask them why.
"Depression isn't a straightforward response to a bad situation; depression just is, like the weather.
"Try to understand the blackness, the lethargy, the hopelessness and loneliness they are going through. Be there for them when they come through the other side.
"It's hard to be a friend to someone who's depressed, but it is one of the kindest, noblest and best things you will ever do."
Willie Thorne's close friend and Leicester City legend, Gary Lineker Tweeted: "So very sorry to hear that Robin Williams has gone. The most joyously funny and brilliant of men."
Hollywood stars have come out to pay tribute to Robin Williams, and offer condolences to his family and friends.
His friend Steven Spielberg, who directed him in the 1991 children's adventure Hook, said: "Robin was a lightning storm of comic genius, and our laughter was the thunder that sustained him."
US President Barack Obama said: "Williams arrived in our lives as an alien – but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit.
"He made us laugh. He made us cry. He gave his immeasurable talent, freely and generously, to those who needed it most – from our troops stationed abroad to the marginalised on our own streets."
Williams had often spoken, and joked, about his struggles with alcohol and drugs.
His drinking problem was reported to have returned recently, after 20 years of sobriety.
Dr Peter Cannon, GP clinical lead for mental health at the West Leicestershire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), said depression was sadly all too common an illness – but people need not suffer alone.
He said: "Unfortunately, one in five people will experience depression at some point in their lives, an illness which causes intense feelings of continuous sadness and hopelessness, together with physical effects such as sleeplessness, loss of energy and concentration or physical aches and pains."
Dr Canon added: "I would urge people to seek help for depression or a mental health illness by speaking with their doctor, in the first instance, who will set them on a path to recovery.
"Exercising regularly, socialising, taking up a hobby, not drinking too much alcohol and maintaining a healthy diet can also have a positive effect on people's mental health."

Review: Mahan Esfahani St George's, Bristol by Helen Reid 9/10
Posted: March 29, 2013|
FOR many keyboard players, Bach's Goldberg Variations are the biggest challenge of all: a simple tune with thirty ever more complicated variations that test the performer to the limit. For Mahan Esfahani, the brilliant Iranian-born, American trained harpsichordist, playing the work is like making a spiritual journey to discover not how Bach wrote it, but why.
The story goes that the Goldberg Variations were written to help an insomniac court harpsichordist get through the night.
True or not, it is late work that reveals Bach as extraordinarily adventurous. Bach wrote that he "prepared it for the soul's delight". Esfahani's performance certainly achieved this for the audience seemed wrapped in inner contemplation. He played on a two manual harpsichord. His keyboard technique is dazzling: he played some of the variations at incredible speeds but with such clean articulation that not a note was lost. He gave the work a spiritual quality and the performance certainly explained why Esfahani is so admired. His overall conception of the work as a journey towards peace and enlightenment was exactly right.

A vector magnetic ink jet printer is arranged so that the ink droplets in the initial jet stream are alternately selected (i.e., magnetized) and unselected (unmagnetized). The interposition of unselected droplets between selected droplets prevents undesired magnetic interactions between selected droplets and gives them optimum spacing before they are deposited upon the recording surface, while at the same time keeping all of the droplets in sufficiently close proximity to give the stream aerodynamic stability. The gutter or catcher for unselected droplets is located between the second axial deflector (X deflector) and the recording surface. The magnetic field of the second deflector is specially shaped so that it can effectively control the trajectories of all selected droplets that have passed through the field of the first axial deflector (Y deflector), but without affecting the trajectories of unselected droplets aimed at the gutter. The selected and unselected droplets form separate substreams which have sufficient angular divergence in the X direction for enabling the unselected droplets to be guttered without excessively spreading their individual trajectories along that axis, since they are not affected by the X deflecting field, but the divergence is not great enough to disrupt the aerodynamic stabilizing action of each substream upon the other.
1. In a vector magnetic ink jet printing apparatus wherein droplets of ferrofluid ink are directed alternatively to a recording surface or to an intercepting catcher, the combination comprising:
means for producing a stream of ink droplets substantially all of which are initially directed along a first course toward said catcher,
an electromagnetic selector operable to divert selected ones of the droplets in said stream from said first course to a second course which enables the selected droplets to avoid said catcher and impinge said surface while permitting the unselected droplets to continue traveling along said first course toward said catcher,
a first electromagnetic deflector which is operable to deflect at least some of the droplets in said stream selectively along a first one of two axes orthogonal to said stream, thereby to place such deflected droplets into selected trajectories according to the respective deflections imparted to them along said first axis, and
a second electromagnetic deflector positioned between said first deflector and said catcher which is operable to impart selected deflections along the second of said orthogonal axes to at least some of those selected droplets that previously were directed along said second course, whereby the final trajectory of each such droplet is determined by the respective deflections imparted to it along said two axes by said first and second deflectors, said second deflector having a pole structure so arranged that its magnetic field is unable to prevent unselected droplets that were not diverted out of said first course from reaching said catcher.
2. A printing apparatus as specified in claim 1 wherein the pole structure of said second deflector is arranged to produce a magnetic field whose lines of force extend generally parallel with said second course and whose intensity in the portions thereof traversed by said unselected droplets is insignificant compared with its intensity in the portions thereof traversed by said selected droplets.
3. A printing apparatus as specified in claim 2 wherein said pole structure has faces spaced from each other along said second course and arranged substantially parallel therewith.
4. A printing apparatus as specified in claim 1 wherein said selector is so operated as to cause those droplets which are selected for diversion into said second course to be interspersed with unselected droplets that will continue to be directed along said first course.
5. A printing apparatus as specified in claim 4 wherein said selector causes selected and unselected droplets to be directed alternately along said second and first courses, respectively.
This invention relates generally to ink jet printers and particularly to vector magnetic ink jet printers, otherwise known as "VMIJ" printers.
In a VMIJ printer a stream of ferrofluid ink droplets emitted under pressure from a vibratory nozzle is passed through the respective magnetic fields of successively arranged X and Y electromagnetic deflectors which have the combined effect of causing ink droplets to be deposited upon a recording surface along selected vectors or line segments to form printed characters or graphic plots thereon. Printers of this type are able to form printed characters in cursive fashion at higher speed with greater accuracy and with less waste of ink than other types of ink jet printers such as those which operate on the raster scan principle, whether they use electromagnetic or electrostatic deflection.
In a conventional VMIJ printer the X deflector (which deflects the magnetic ink droplets along a horizontal X axis) is positioned ahead of the Y deflector (which deflects the droplets along a vertical Y axis. In carrying out the present invention, it has been found preferable to reverse this sequence and have the Y deflector precede the X deflector. This is not a necessary condition, however. For convenience, in the present portion of this description, these two deflectors will be referred to simply as "first" and "second" deflectors without specifying their respective deflection axes, it being understood that such axes are in orthogonal relationship to each other and in substantially parallel relationship with the recording surface.
In a VMIJ printer it is desirable that the ink droplets be produced at a rate such that they will follow one another in sufficiently close succession to provide an aerodynamically stable jet stream. When the ink droplets are emitted at this rate, however, not all of the droplets which issue from the nozzle can be utilized for printing characters, and to separate those droplets which are to be used from those which are not needed in printing, the stream of droplets is first passed through a special type of magnetic deflector called "selector" before it reaches the first of the two axial deflectors described above. The present arrangement is such that when the droplets issue from the nozzle in which they are formed, they are aimed at an excess ink collection device called a "gutter" or "catcher." If a droplet is to be used in printing, it is "selected" by being magnetized by the selector. An "unselected" droplet (one not to be used in printing) is not magnetized as it passes through the selector. The selector exerts some deflecting action upon those droplets which it magnetizes, sufficient to divert such droplets from a course aimed at the catcher to one which will enable these droplets to reach the recording surface after passing successively through the magnetic deflecting fields of the first and second deflectors that are positioned between the selector and the recording surface. It should be understood, of course, that the selection process can be reversed, so that droplets which are to be guttered are magnetized while the "selected" droplets are not magnetized by the selector and are aimed away from the gutter.
In order that the catcher may function effectively to intercept the unselected droplets, it has been customary heretofore in designing VMIJ printers to place the catcher between the first and second deflectors where it catches the unselected droplets before they are subjected to the second deflecting field. Experience gained in working with prior designs of such deflectors has dictated the necessity of placing the catcher in this position because if the unselected droplets were permitted to pass through both deflecting fields before being caught, their respective courses may be so widely divergent by the time they pass through the second deflecting field that it would be impossible to locate the catcher properly for intercepting all of the unselected droplets.
Placing the Catcher between the first and second deflectors has several disadvantages, however. First, it causes the spacing between the two deflecting fields to be greater than it should be for optimum control, so that by the time the stream of selected droplets reaches the second deflector, it is apt to have an undesirably large "spread" along the axis of the first deflecting field, thereby decreasing the likelihood that the second deflecting field can effectively control all of the droplets that have passed through the first deflector.
A second disadvantage of catching the unselected droplets before they can enter the second deflector is that it prevents the employment of an "alternate selection" principle whereby the droplets to be used in printing are effectively separated from each other by unselected droplets. For best results it has been found that the droplets which are to be used for printing should not follow one another too closely. If the selected droplets are traveling too closely together, the leading droplet often is overtaken by and merged with the droplet behind it before it reaches the recording surface, with adverse effect upon the printing quality. It has been observed also that undesirable magnetic interactions will take place between selected droplets and cause erratic movements of these droplets if they are not adequately spaced from each other at every point in their travel. There is a better opportunity to produce printing of high graphic quality if the selected and unselected droplets are alternately arranged as they leave the selector and are caused to travel concurrently in slightly diverging substreams. This produces the desired spacing between selected droplets along their course of travel, and with the two substreams traveling in angular proximity to each other, each contributes a certain amount of aerodynamic stability to the other. This advantage is lost, however, if the substream of unselected droplets is abruptly intercepted by the catcher as it leaves the first deflector so that the substream of selected droplets passes by itself into the second deflector. There appears to be some need for the two substreams to proceed together on their divergent courses through both deflecting fields in order to minimize aerodynamic disturbances and obtain a stabilized stream of selected droplets all the way to the recording surface. For some reason not fully known, stream stability is adversely affected if the catcher halts the progress of the unselected substream as it emerges from the first deflecting field, thereby forcing the substream of selected droplets to proceed alone to the second deflector.
Thus, designers of prior VMIJ printers have been confronted with a dilemma. In order to retrieve the unselected droplets effectively, they have considered it necessary to place the catcher between the first and second deflectors; otherwise, the unselected droplets would be so widely scattered by the second deflecting field in the direction of the second deflection axis that they could not be "guttered" effectively. By doing this, however, designers of such equipment have in several ways substantially reduced the probability of obtaining high quality printing using the VMIJ technique. The innate advantages of the vector magnetic ink jet technique over other ink jet printing techniques are such that it would be highly desirable to produce a VMIJ printing apparatus wherein the above described factors which tend to detract from high graphic quality are rendered negligible, thereby enabling users of such printers to realize their full potential for achieving high quality printing with minimum waste of ink.
An object of the present invention is to improve the design of vector magnetic ink jet printers so that the catcher or gutter can be located between the final deflecting field and the recording surface rather than between successive deflecting fields. Specifically, it is an object to improve the configuration of the final deflecting field so that it has little or no effect upon unselected ink droplets that are passing in its vicinity. An ancillary object is to utilize the alternate selection principle whereby selected droplets initially are interspersed with unselected droplets, and the two sets of droplets are caused to travel in divergent substreams, each of which contributes to the aerodynamic stability of the other substream, so that the selected ink droplets will be guided toward their target points with maximum accuracy and without any undesired merging of these droplets in flight.
In carrying out the aforesaid objectives, substantial departures have been made from the prior VMIJ printer design. The gutter or catcher now is located between the final deflector and the recording surface. This enables the two axial deflectors to be located more closely together, thereby reducing the spread of selected droplets along the axis of the first deflector while they are in the field of the second deflector. The final deflector, which in the present embodiment is the X deflector, has a unique construction enabling it to produce an X deflecting field that can accurately control the trajectories of selected ink droplets occupying a large span of positions along the Y axis without substantially affecting the trajectories of unselected droplets passing by this deflector toward the catcher. The X deflecting field, instead of being produced by pole pieces whose faces are arranged in a conventional wedge configuration on opposite sides of the droplet stream, is now produced by pole pieces having parallel faces located on one side of the stream so that the gap between pole pieces and the deflecting field lines produced thereby will extend generally parallel with the stream of selected droplets rather than transversely across it. Selected droplets pass through a strong inner region of this X deflecting field having an adequate spread in the Y direction, whereas unselected droplets (which travel a course angularly displaced in the X direction from the course along which selected droplets travel as they enter the X deflection field) will pass through a weak outer fringe of this field that has little or no effect upon their trajectories. Hence, unselected droplets now may flow through both deflecting fields and be caught by a Y-oriented gutter, located adjacent to the recording surface, which does not have to be made unduly large in the X direction since the trajectories of unselected droplets have no significant angular separation in that direction. Between the X and Y deflectors there is no intervening gutter structure to disturb the trajectories of ink droplets as they pass from the Y field to the X field. Because of this, it now is possible to use the alternate selection technique whereby the selector magnetizes alternate droplets so that each pair of selected (i.e., magnetized) droplets is separated from each other by at least one intervening unselected (i.e., unmagnetized) droplet, thereby greatly increasing the likelihood of producing printed records or documents having high graphic quality for the reasons noted above.
The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing the essential elements of a vector magnetic ink jet printing apparatus which embodies the invention.
FIG. 2 is a top view of the apparatus schematically represented in FIG. 1, showing the manner in which selected and unselected droplets are formed into separate substreams.
FIG. 3 is a detail side view of the first or Y deflector, indicating its magnetic field distribution.
FIG. 4 is a detail plan view of the second or X deflector, indicating its magnetic field distribution.
FIGS. 5 and 6 are graphs which respectively represent the deflection-versus-current and deflection-versus-distance characteristics of the second or X deflector shown in FIG. 4.
The drawings depict the significant features of a vector magnetic ink jet (VMIJ) printer embodying the invention. Details of mechanical construction and electrical circuitry that are familiar to persons skilled in the art of magnetic ink jet printing have been omitted from these views. The omitted details have been disclosed in prior references such as U.S. Pat. No. 3,805,272, issued on Apr. 16, 1974 to George J. Fan et al, and U.S. Pat. No. 3,971,033, issued on July 20, 1976 to George J. Fan, both of these patents being assigned to the assignee of the present patent application. The structure shown in the accompanying drawings is deemed adequate for an understanding of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, ferrofluid ink of a type described in the aforesaid U.S. Pat. No. 3,805,272, for example, is fed under pressure through a feed valve mechanism 10 to a nozzle 12, from which the ink issues as a jet stream of discrete droplets due to the action of a vibrator comprising a piezoelectric transducer 14 mounted upon the valve 10. As shown best in FIG. 2, the nozzle 12 initially directs the stream of droplets issuing therefrom toward a gutter or catcher 16 which is located in front of a recording surface 18 such as a sheet of paper upon which printing is to be accomplished. After leaving the nozzle 12, the stream of initially unmagnetized droplets passes through a gap between the pole pieces of an electromagnet 20 called a "selector." The winding of the selector 20 is intermittently excited by current pulses which are appropriately timed so to produce a magnetic field in the gap of the selector 20 whenever a droplet which is to be selected for printing is passing through this gap. Thus, the selected droplet becomes magnetized and is attracted away from its original path 22 aimed at the catcher 16 into a slightly divergent path 24 as indicated in FIGS. 1 and 2. Hence, as each droplet enters the field of the first axial deflector 26, which in this embodiment is the Y deflector, it will be traveling along a path 22 aimed at the catcher 16 if it is an unselected droplet 26 (that is, one that was not magnetized by the selector 20) or along a path 24 aimed away from the catcher 16 if it is a selected droplet 28 (one that was magnetized by the selector 20).
In order to optimize the aerodynamic stability of the ink jet stream, it has been found desirable to emit ink droplets from the nozzle 12 at a frequency that is likely to be too high for best graphic quality if all of these droplets were selected for printing. There are several factors that would tend to detract from graphic quality if every droplet emitted by the nozzle 12 at this high rate were magnetized by the selector 20 and thus directed along a course 24 which would cause them to impinge the recording surface 18. If the magnetized droplets are not adequately spaced from each other when leaving the selector 20, magnetic interactions among them may produce undesired deviations in their respective trajectories or variations in spacing among them. There also is a possibility that some of the leading droplets may become merged with droplets that are following too closely behind them as a result of these magnetic aberrations or simply because of the fact that each droplet progressively loses speed as the distance between it and the nozzle increases, such loss of speed being greater for some droplets than for others.
In order to achieve a satisfactory resolution of the conflicting requirements that there be, on the one hand, emission of droplets from the nozzle at a sufficiently high rate to produce a jet stream which is highly stabilized aerodynamically and, on the other hand, adequate spacing of droplets that are destined to impinge the target surface so as to optimize the vector printing operation, and "alternate selection" technique is herein proposed. Thus, in accordance with this concept, every second droplet passing through the gap of selector 20 during a vector printing operation becomes magnetized by the field of this selector and is attracted into a path 24 that is aimed away from the ink catcher 16. Hence, the spacing between these selected droplets as they leave the selector 20 is about double the initial spacing between droplets as they enter the selector 20, with an unselected droplet intervening between each pair of successively selected droplets. It is understood, of course, that this selection technique may be modified, if desired, to interpose more than one unselected droplet between each pair of successively selected droplets.
The action of the selector effectively creates two substreams of droplets, one substream consisting of unselected droplets traveling along the original course 22 toward the catcher 16, and the other substream consisting of selected droplets that have been diverted into a course 24 that has a slight but significant angular displacement from the substream that was first described. These two substreams of selected and unselected droplets continue on their slightly divergent courses through (or in some cases, past) the respective magnetic fields of a Y deflector 30 and an X deflector 32, arranged in the sequence named between the selector 20 and the recording surface 18. No significant loss of aerodynamic stability is caused by this separation since the two jet streams are still in fairly close proximity to each other. The substream of unselected droplets is terminated at the catcher 16 just a short distance from the recording surface 18, after these droplets have traversed both the first and second axial deflectors 30 and 32. By the time it reaches this point, the substream of selected droplets has been so well stabilized that these droplets can traverse the remaining distance to the surface 18 with accuracy.
For vector printing purposes, a succession of selected droplets is subjected in varying amounts of deflection along two orthogonally related axes herein designated Y and X, the Y axis being substantially vertical and the X axis substantially horizontal in an assumed environment where the recording surface 18 is in a vertical plane parallel to both of these axes. The X and Y deflecting fields are "gradient" magnetic fields, that is, fields in which the magnetic intensity at any point is dependent upon not only the electrical current in the winding of the deflector but also the distance of the point from the pole faces of the deflector. The particular construction of each deflector will be described presently. In accordance with the invention, both selected and unselected droplets are subjected to any deflecting force in the Y (upward) direction that may be exerted upon them by the magnetic field of the first deflector 30, but only the selected droplets will be subjected to any significant deflection in the X (right horizontal) direction by the second deflector 32, because the magnetic field of this second deflector is specially shaped so that unselected droplets pass through only a weak outer fringe of this field and are substantially unaffected by it.
At this point in the description it is thought advisable to restate the definition of a "selected" droplet as one that has been exposed to a magnetic field generated by the selector 20 so that such a droplet is diverted from its original course 22 to an angularly displaced course 24. All droplets which are not magnetized by the selector 20 and which therefore continue on their original course 22 are "unselected". The selection process naturally causes the ferrofluid in the selected droplet to become magnetized. Whether this initial magnetization persists, and for how long, will depend upon the degree of remanence that the ferrofluid possesses. The remanence need not be high. As each selected droplet enters a subsequent deflection field, whether such field is produced by the first deflector 30 or the second deflector 32, it is remagnetized by that field at the same time that it is being deflected thereby. It is not accurate to use the terms "selected" and "magnetized" interchangeably, however, because a droplet once selected remains "selected", irrespective of what may happen to its remanent magnetism while it traverses the distances between successive magnetic fields. Conceivably a selected droplet may be devoid of remanent magnetism when it is outside of any magnetic field. It should be noted also that an unselected droplet may become at least temporarily magnetized while passing through the Y deflecting field, and conceivably it may retain such magnetism at least for a time while traveling toward the catcher 16. Thus, selected droplets are not necessarily magnetized at all points of their travel between the selector 20 and the paper 18, nor are unselected droplets unmagnetized at all points of their travel between the selector 20 and the catcher 16. The distinction resides solely in the choice of divergent courses 22 and 24 into which each droplet may be directed by the selector 20.
In the present embodiment both the selector 20 and the Y deflector 30 have pole faces disposed in converging planes to define a wedge-shaped air gap in each instance. As explained in the aforesaid Fan U.S. Pat. No. 3,805,272, this type of pole construction causes a gradient magnetic field to be produced in the air gap between pole faces, the configuration of the magnetic field lines being indicated (in the case of the deflector 30) by the curves drawn in FIG. 3. Both the selected droplets 28 and the unselected droplets 26 enter this gap and are deflected upwardly in directions normal to the field lines therein when the electromagnet is energized. In the case of the deflector 30 the amount of deflection varies with the current in the winding. In the case of the selector 20, the amount of deflection is the same for all deflected droplets and is zero for unselected droplets. The slanted pole faces are separated by a substantial clearance opening even at their closest points (FIG. 3) so that a droplet may be deflected past these points without striking the pole structure.
Upon leaving the first deflector 30, each droplet will be traveling at the desired angle upwardly from the path which it initially had when it entered the field of this deflector. This chosen amount of Y deflection will place each selected droplet at the desired vertical coordinate on the paper 18 when it impinges that surface. It remains, however, to impart the proper amount of horizontal or rightward deflection to each selected droplet so that it also will impinge the surface 18 at the desired horizontal coordinate thereon. This is the function of the X deflector 32. Unselected droplets are not given any signficant X deflection and are captured by the gutter 16.
Referring now to FIGS. 2 and 4, selected droplets 28 which have been directed along a course having the horizontal angular position denoted by the line 24 will pass through a part of the magnetic deflecting field generated by the X deflector 32 which is much stronger than the weak outer fringe portion of this magnetic field through which unselected droplets 26 traveling along the divergent course 22 will pass. The pole structure of the X deflector 32 is so designed that even with maximum exciting current in the coil or winding of deflector 32, there will be no significant deflection unselected droplets 26 in the X direction.
The pole faces 34 and 36 are parallel with the path 24 of the selected droplets, and they establish a magnetic field whose lines of force likewise extend generally parallel with this path and are concentrated near the plane in which the pole faces 34 and 36 lie. The excitation current intensity is varied in accordance with the amount of angular deflection which must be given to each selected droplet 26 in order to accomplish the desired vector printing function. As shown by the graph of deflection-versus-current in FIG. 5, the deflection along the X axis varies linearly with the current. On the other hand, as shown by FIG. 6, the deflection will vary inversely and nonlinearly with the distance between a pole face and a droplet which is passing by it, so that even a strong current will not cause significant deflection of a droplet that has been diverted a relatively short distance away from the pole structure 34, 36, as in the case of the unselected droplets 26, FIGS. 2 and 4.
Inasmuch as the unselected droplets 26 are given no significant deflection in the X direction by the second deflector 32, the catcher 16, FIGS. 1 and 2, may have a relatively narrow dimension in the X direction to correspond with the very slight spread of unselected droplet trajectories in that direction. Moreover, since the catcher 16 is located relatively close to the recording surface 18, it does not disrupt the stabilizing aerodynamic interaction between the jet streams of unselected and selected droplets until each selected droplet as almost reached the end of its travel, by which time it no longer needs further stabilization to find its correct target point. The magnetic field produced by the X deflector 32 has a sufficient spread along the Y axis to exert uniform X deflecting forces upon pg,15 selected droplets 28 for any given current value regardless of the displacements respectively imparted to such droplets along the Y axis by the Y deflector 30.
The illustrated apparatus is designed to print one character at a time upon the recording surface 18, and the appropriate relative motions are produced between the surface 18 and the printing apparatus to arrange the printed characters at selected positions in successive lines. If it is desired to print a whole line of characters at a time, the character printing apparatus can be modified to accomplish this. The first deflector 30 would be oriented so that it deflects the droplets in the X direction, and the second deflector 32 would be oriented to deflect selected droplets in the Y direction without imparting any significant Y deflections to unselected droplets. This would make it feasible to use a gutter that extends parallel with the printed line in a position above or below it, and the nozzle which emits the droplets then is aimed at such a gutter. In a line printer the character printers may be arranged in staggered relationship in two rows, one row of printers using a gutter positioned above the printed line while the other row uses a gutter below this line.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to a preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing and other changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

13th TD Bank Beach to Beacon 10K takes a greener route to youth economic education
CAPE ELIZABETH — The annual TD Bank Beach to Beacon 10K road race, which attracts 6,000 runners from all over the world, will be run for the 13th time on Aug. 7.
This year's race benefits Junior Achievement of Maine, a non-profit organization providing youth economic education programs through volunteers from the community. JA programs are offered in more than 100 schools in Maine and reached nearly 9,000 students in 2009.
TD Bank, through the TD Charitable Foundation, will provide a cash donation of $30,000 to JA of Maine.
The race will continue its tradition of attracting some of the best elite runners in the world, as well as introducing new green features, wider shuttle bus service, and a new timing system.
Runners this year will use the same ChronoTrack UHF Timing System and its single-use tag as they used last year, however instead of using a tag that attaches to the shoe, runners this year will use a tag which goes on the back of their bib. There will be recycling bins at the finish line for tag disposal.
Runners can register, pick up their t-shirts and tags at Cape Elizabeth High School on Thursday, Aug. 5, from 4-8 p.m. and Friday, Aug. 6, from 2:30-8 p.m. The registration event features an expo of products and services.
Also happening during the expo will be the Nike reuse-a-shoe recycling program. Anyone can drop off athletic shoes of any brand at the Nike bin at the high school gym on Thursday or Friday. Shoes are also collected year-round at all Nike U.S. retail locations, including the Nike Store located at 1 Freeport Village Station in Freeport.
Nike recycles the shoes into Nike Grind, a material used in sports surfaces around the world.
Bruce Rayner, the chief green officer at Athletes for a Fit Planet, a leading provider of eco-services for athletic events, said the Nike program was very successful last year.
"We got over 500 pairs last year and are looking to increase that this year," Rayner said.
"Last year we recycled and composted approximately 5.4 tons, or 45 percent of total waste," he said. "This year we're looking to expand the program to approach 55 to 60 percent of waste going into recycling or composting."
One of the ways Fit Planet hopes to help the race achieve this is by using certified compostable paper cups with a wax coating on the course.
"All aid stations will have biodegradable bags to collect the cups in at the end of the race to compost and eventually turn into soil," Rayner said.
Another green feature of this year's race will be the use of volatile organic compound-free paint for the starting line on Route 77.
"When volatile organic compounds get washed off the road, they can seep into the ground," Rayner said.
In keeping with the green theme, runners this year will also be able to take advantage of the website, pickupppal.com.
"Athletes can enter their name into the Beach to Beacon's PickupPal and either ask for a ride or offer one," Rayder said.
Runners can park near the start line at the Sprague Fields near Fowler and Ram Island Farm roads and at Cape Elizabeth's high school and middle school. There will be signs providing directions. Runners will then be shuttled from the parking lots to the start between 6:30 a.m. and 7:30 a.m.
Runner drop-off is at the Gull Crest Fields parking lot, half a mile from the intersection of Spurwink Road and Route 77. There will be flaggers for direction. Runners are required to be at the start line by 7:30 a.m.
New this year will be satellite parking and shuttle bus service to the start line from South Portland High School at 737 Highland Ave. and the Hannaford Bros. corporate office parking lot at 145 Pleasant Hill Road, Scarborough. Shuttle buses will run from these locations from 6:30-7:15 a.m., and return to these locations from Fort Williams after the race.
Staff and spectators can park at the finish line, and are advised to arrive before 7:15 a.m. because Shore Road closes at 7:30 a.m. However, people may enter the fort from the north from Shore Road via Cottage Road in South Portland, which will remain open. Shuttle buses will operate from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. to the start area, school parking lots and satellite locations.
The formal awards ceremony will be after the race at 10 a.m. at Fort Williams at the top of flagpole hill.
The Kids Fun Run will be Friday, Aug. 6, at 6 p.m. at the soccer field at Fort Williams, with the rain date Saturday, Aug. 7, at 9:15 a.m. Updates are available at the TD Bank Beach to Beacon website, beach2beacon.org.
The kids races will run in heats, according to age. Registration and packet pick up for the fun run will be Thursday, Aug. 5, from 4-8 p.m. during race registration at Cape Elizabeth High School and Friday, Aug. 6, near the race location.
Victoria Fischman is The Forecaster news intern. She can be reached at 781-3661.

Hi im 21 years old and i have a four year old son i have stretch marks maby an inch over my belly button i and the go from that hight all the way around to my hips i was just wounderin if they will go lower then my belly button or will they still be above? Thanks
Will my Stretch Marks Still Be over my Belly Button After Tummy Tuck?

Tummy Tuck and Stretch Marks
Thank you for your question. The stretch marks you see above your belly button will now be very low on your abdomen. The belly button will be relocated higher on the abdomen, and almost all of the stretch marks will be eliminated. Be sure to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for this procedure. I hope this helps.

A Tummy Tuck Can Address Your Stretch Marks
Thanks for your question. A tummy tuck removes skin, and if that skin has stretch marks, they are eliminated, too. Those that are left behind are usually pulled lower on the abdomen. The ones around your hips may not change. It's difficult to say what your results would be like without seeing photos. Generally, though, a traditional tummy tuck does affect the areas both above and below the navel. Be sure to talk to your surgeon about your interest in reducing the appearance of your stretch marks. He or she should be able to customize a surgical plan that addresses those concerns. Good luck!

A tummy tuck should remove most stretch marks
Each patient is different. However, it sounds like you would benefit from a tummy tuck, Your board certified plastic surgeon should be able to remove all or most stretch marks from your abdomen.
Will my Stretch Marks Still Be over my Belly Button After Tummy Tuck?
It is difficult to give you a accurate answer without photos and a physical examination. Please, see a board certified plastic surgeon to explore your options.
Will my Stretch Marks Still Be over my Belly Button After Tummy Tuck?
It is hard to give much of a specific answer without seeing some photos, and even then, without a physical exam this would only be an educated guess.
On "average" a plastic surgeon hopes to remove all the skin from navel down to the incision in the midline. The upper incision curves downward, so less is removed at the sides than in the center. All depends on how lax is the skin above the navel. If you have enough laxity, the stretch marks an inch above the navel will likely be below the navel after a TT.
A consultation will provide the answers you want.
When you are ready for an in person consultation,RealSelf has listings of surgeons in your area. You should consider cross referencing the listings from the The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (plasticsurgery dot org). A listing in the ASPS website assures you that your surgeon is not only board certified, but also is a member in good standing of the major plastic surgery organization in the U. S. Thank you for your question, best wishes.
Stretch marks
This is difficult to answer without a physical exam. Typically, stretch marks at the level of the belly button or lower are removed with a tummy tuck. But the end result depends on your baseline anatomy, location and distribution of stretch marks, and quality of your skin. See a board certified PS to learn more about your options.

Stretch mark treatment
Stretch marks above the belly button are usually improved with a tummy tuck even if they are not removed completely. Tightening the skin smooths the texture of the stretch marks.
Where will be stretch marks after tummy tuck?
Tummy tuck is a great procedure for removing excess skin/fat from belly button down to groin area as well as tightening the core muscle. If you have stretch marks one inch above your belly button, after the tummy tuck, they will be in the lower abdomen below the new belly button. You should visit with board-certified plastic surgeon and ask whether you are going to be a good candidate for tummy tuck and ask whether most of your stretch marks can be removed along with lower abdominal skin. Good luck to you.

Doesn't Everyone Look so Peaceful?Wednesday, July 09 2008
Esme and Endora beg Tabitha to save the mortals, Viki and Vincent do their best to finish everyone off.
As the storm rages, Tabitha paces around her house, terrified that all of the evil is on the way. "I've seen worse," Endora says. Tabitha is not amused. Endora still refuses to go. "Mortals die," Tabitha explains. They just need to get used to it; soon they will be with Precious and they can forget about everyone else. Esme runs in. "Help them Tabitha! You have to save them from certain death!" she begs. Tabitha knows what's going on and jokes that everyone's in the right place to die. Esme begs her to try helping for once. Tabitha insists she's helpless. "Can you really just walk away? Do you think you could live with yourself?" Esme asks. Tabs tells her to blame her own family. The witch doesn't see why she should stop any of those families from dying out; each of them has been trying to kill her for centuries. Tabitha talks about being an outsider, even when she was at witch school. Esme thinks that she is just punishing people for never being part of the in-crowd. If she thinks that people should be kinder, she should try being a trendsetter and save some lives. Tabitha still refuses, sure that no one would even thank her for saving them. Esme tells her to take a leap of faith. The only leap Tabs wants to take is out of Harmony. Endora listens in and asks if her daddy is trapped in the church. Esme reads the word bubble and asks who her daddy is. Endora tells her it's Julian, much to Esme's shock. "He certainly gets around! We should compare notes sometime," she says before telling Endora that her daddy is probably dying a horrible death. Endora begs her mother to save him. Tabitha refuses to ignore hundreds of years of Crane cruelty. "I'm half-Crane," Endora points out, much to her mother's annoyance. Tabs still refuses and Esme accuses her of being as petty as a mere mortal. She tries quoting Scooby Doo to win Tabs over but it fails. Esme realizes there must be something else stopping the witch from going into the church. Reluctantly, Tabitha explains that if she steps foot in the church, she will lose her powers and she won't do that for anyone. Endora asks if she will do it for her. "Bad things happen to bad people," Tabitha quips. Endora offers to protect her. Tabs has always been a witch: "I couldn't bare to be a mewling, puking, sniveling mortal! Please don't ask me not to be who I am." If she loses her powers, all her enemies will come after them. Endora says she has enough magic to protect them both. She begs her mother again. Tabitha wonders... but the pressure is too much and she agrees to do it. Tabs lets her daughter out of the cage, but makes her promise to stay in the house until she gets back. Endora thanks her and wishes that she will be just like her mother when she grows up.
At the church, believing that Ethan is dead, Theresa picks up some poison, telling him that they can walk into heaven together. Before she can put it in her mouth, her mother grabs her arm, forbidding her to do this. Theresa insists she has to, but her plan is cut short when Pilar goes into convulsions from the poison.
Eve is trying to get through to the hospital to send the antidote over. The signal isn't working. Viki and Vincent laugh, sure that their plan will work out and everyone will die. They continue to taunt Eve as she tries to pull Julian off the floor. "You were right Vincent. Mass murder is awesome!" Viki chuckles. "Sure beats video games," he smiles. Eve calls to Sheridan, telling her to keep the others moving. Sheridan holds Fancy up but Luis is on the floor. She calls down to him but he is unresponsive. Pushing Fancy aside, she shakes him, begging him not to leave her. He starts to mumble Fancy's name. Eve comes over with water, hoping it could dilute the poison. She admits that, although she's gotten through to the hospital, no one can get there in the storm.
Luis continues begging Sheridan to save Fancy. She gives her niece some water. Luis calls out for his mother and starts to climb off the floor. He makes his way across the floor to his mama. When he takes her hand, he can feel that she has no pulse. He begs her to come back. "I'm sorry... she's gone," Sheridan says. She tells him he's strong enough to get through this. His mother was his center; he can't get over this. Fancy tells Luis that she loves him. He loves her too. She rests her head on his shoulder and loses consciousness. "I'm coming for you," he gasps as his head falls back. When Theresa stands up, she starts to choke too. She collapses on Ethan, telling him she loves him as she passes out.
Eve continues trying to save Julian. She pours water in his mouth but Vincent continues to laugh. When she gets him on his feet, he starts to mutter as she fills him in on the situation. He tells her he'll be fine and encourages her to help everyone else. She hurries off and he sinks to his knees. As he flops to the floor, Eve runs to his side and injects him with adrenaline. He can feel himself dying. He tells her to fight. She screams and tries to keep his heart pumping. There's no response. She cries, begging him not to leave her when they've finally become so close. Vincent smirks and offers to help her follow him to the grave. "I loved you because you were in my womb but now I wish I had treated you like a tumor and cut you out!" she screams. He's smug: He's gotten everything he wanted. She starts to choke him. Viki grabs some poison and tries forcing it into Eve's mouth. Vincent pushes his mother off. They hold her down and force the poison down. Sheridan runs over to help Eve. Viki pushes her down and forces poison in her mouth. "You should go veggie like me. Meat will kill you every time," she says as Sheridan gives up the struggle.
Tabitha and Esme arrive outside of the church. A terrified Tabitha jumps back, refusing to go in. Esme reminds her that everyone is dying. "Everyone dies sooner or later. I've died many times myself," the witch says. Esme tells her to honor her child's wishes. Tabitha says she's just a child and doesn't know what she's asked. Endora pops up and asks her to do it again. She kisses her mother's cheek and Tabitha relents, agreeing to save them all. "From this moment on, everything will change," Tabitha announces. As soon as they get inside the church, however, Vincent informs them that they are too late: Everyone is dead. They look at the floor littered with corpses. "There's no one left to take you away from me," Viki laughs to her aunt. "Doesn't everyone look so peaceful?" Vincent jokes. They cackle.
Next on Passions:
"Aren't you proud of me?" Viki asks as her aunt confronts her for killing everyone.
Tabitha makes a holy deal to give up her powers and save the innocent.

State officials respond to Alamo alcohol rule
Daughters of the Republic of Texas displeased with revocation of ban
SAN ANTONIO - In a meeting last month, the General Land Office, who assumed ownership of the Alamo last year, made the decision to permit alcohol at catered, after-hour events at Alamo Hall and its patio.
However, after a huge outcry following the news of the new policy, General Land Office Commissioner Jerry Patterson made a trip to the Alamo grounds on Friday to explain their decision.
Patterson said he believes there is some misinformation out in the public about the rules that they changed and that's why people are so upset.
"I think the main concern is driven by misinformation," said Patterson. "I think there was some concept or some belief that we were going to be having a vendor here selling alcohol for the purpose of raising money for the Alamo."
Patterson said Friday that the decision wasn't about making money. instead, it was about opening up the Alamo to more people.
He said in the past, not allowing caterers to serve alcohol at after-hours events at Alamo Hall was something that did turn people away.
"We are going to start serving alcohol in this patio and in that building, which are not within the original footprint as it existed in 1836," said Patterson.
But while Alamo Hall and its patio are not within the original boundaries, the Daughters of the Republic of Texas still don't believe alcohol should be served there and that it's more about the standards for the entire complex.
"It's within in their right to do that," said Daughters of the Republic President General Karen Thompson. "But we just feel like it's the wrong decision for them to make because it doesn't show the respect that this site gives."
"At Gettysburg, after hours events are allowed to have alcohol," said Patterson. "On the ... Battleship Missouri and Pearl Harbor overlooking the Arizona Monument, alcohol is allowed and I do not believe alcohol itself is disrespectful."
The General Land Office Commission also said Friday that they will have extra security on site for these after hours evebts, catered events with alcohol and they expect to start permitting this by the end of the month.

Heartbreaking words were heard from an 8 year-old girl inside an Albuquerque courtroom Monday.
Prosecutors said the little girl witnessed the brutal rape of her one year-old sister.
A judge sentenced Ralph Maestas to 30 years in prison Monday. Police said he raped the daughter of his then girlfriend back in 2010.
KOB Eyewitness News 4 was in court and heard from the doctor who helped treat the one year-old after it happened, as well as the toddler's foster parents.
Probably one of the most difficult things to hear was a pre-recorded interview with the baby's 8 year-old sister who prosecutors said saw the abuse happen in 2010. In the interview she said, "Ralph hurt my little sister." The girl went on and tried to describe what happened but paused during her explanation. It seemed she was nervous telling what happened.
The whole time the tape was being played, Maestas showed little emotion. Every now and then, he would nod his head.
The therapist who's working with the baby's sister and brother also spoke in court. She said in her 20 years of work, she has never heard such trauma.
The doctor who helped treat the toddler said she will most likely not be able to have children.
Maestas' family also wanted to address the judge but Maestas didn't want them to.

Like I said, Gus and Glover are new challengers. Machida is in the wings after getting dicked around by Dana White. There's plenty of options for the next two years.

I am gonna pull a GSP, and say that isn't gonna matter because Bader is going to win.
I think Bones keeps winning until DC knocks him out in the first round. I think DC is gonna make Bones look bad. The funny thing is that two of my buddies are huge Bones and Anderson fans, I told them that Weidman was the man to knock off Anderson, and I've been saying the same about DC. They have been taking me a bit more seriously ever since their indestructible hero went down.
Big Hairy American Winning Machine
Difference is that GSP had an educated opinion because he had trained with Weidman.
Also Bader has a good shot off knocking off Glover. I can't remember the last time Glover fought anyone like Bader. I think Bader might be able to take him down and pull out a decision.
Dude, Im a wrestler. Im the best wrestler in MMA. Wrestling IS, was and always has been the most dominate form of mix martial art on the planet. Thats all there is to it. We all know it, some people want to fight it, some people want doubt it but wresters rule the MMA world. -
