GOLM organizers focus on national blood drive recordOctober 16,2013Organizers of the Gift-of-Life Marathon issued the following press release today -
RUTLAND -The Gift-of-Life Marathon will expand to a fifth site, feature double red-cell donations at three locations, and include New York Red Cross workers for the first time when Rutland attempts to break the national one-day blood collection record of 1,968 pints, organizers announced today.
"Working with the Red Cross, we've tried to give the greater Rutland community the best shot possible," said Steve Costello, a vice president at Green Mountain Power, which co-sponsors the annual event with WJJR. "We'll have more workers, sites and double red cell machines than ever before – but it will take a huge collective effort to reach what would be a ridiculous goal in any other community of our size."
The drive will run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Dec. 17 at the Paramount Theatre, American Legion, College of St. Joseph, Elks Club and Holiday Inn, which is joining the GOLM effort for the first time. Double red cell donations may be made at the Elks Club, CSJ or Holiday Inn.
Appointments, which are recommended, may be made by calling 800-RED-CROSS or at www.redcrossblood.org. Donors must be at least 16, in good health, and show a photo ID or Red Cross donor card. Sixteen-year-olds may donate with parental consent, provided in person at the drive or by a consent form available on the Red Cross website. For more information, visit www.giftoflifemarathon.com.
"There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that we can do this if we pull together," said Terry Jaye, director of programming at Catamount Radio, which owns WJJR. "We encourage everyone who has come out in the past to sign up, and to try to find one friend, relative, coworker or teammate who will donate as well. If we work together, we can make history, boost the blood supply around the holidays, and help the Red Cross save hundreds of lives."
Mike Kempesty, CEO of the American Red Cross, Northern New England Blood Services Region, said the drive would include workers from several New England states, and Albany, N.Y. Vermont workers will run the drive at the Paramount, with each of the other sites managed by crews from other states.
"The collaboration between states and districts has been incredible," Kempesty said. "We are committed to helping Rutland break this record, and we are extremely appreciative of the greater Rutland community's dedication to the drive. The GOLM is an inspiration throughout the Red Cross and could not take place without the tremendous support from our leading sponsors and partners, Green Mountain Power and WJJR."
GMP President and CEO Mary Powell said she was amazed by the growth of the GOLM over the years. "There is a spirit and determination in Rutland I've never seen anywhere else," Powell said. "Whatever the challenges it has faced, from big storms to the GOLM, Rutland has demonstrated pluck and determination time after time."
The GOLM collected 368 pints in its first year, 2003. After setting state and northern New England records several times, the GOLM broke the New England record for a one-day community blood drive in 2008, 2009 and 2010, beating Boston each time. Manchester, N.H., broke the New England and national record in 2011. The GOLM collected 1,955 pints last year, 13 shy of tying the record and making it the second-largest one-day drive in the country, the largest per-capita.
Jaye, Costello and Rutland Mayor Chris Louras have pledged to get tattoos commemorating the record if the record is broken. "Rutland is on the upswing, and setting the record and helping so many families and individuals would make a tremendous statement about the people of this community," Louras said. "I urge everyone who is eligible to get involved and make Dec. 17 a day to remember."MORE IN This Just InBy Kathleen Phalen Tomaselli Full StoryBennington College and Middlebury College both top a list for most entrepreneurial colleges in...

Securities Markets - New Issue Market
New issues are offered in the primary market and sold to the public for the first time as initial public offerings, or IPOs. New issues are usually handled for a corporation by an underwriting syndicate comprised of investment banks and selling groups. An underwriter will advise the issuing corporation on the best price at which to offer shares of the new security to the public. Factors considered in arriving at a price include prevailing market conditions, indications of interest from the underwriter's book of business, prices of similar companies and the company's general financial health.
If the topic of IPOs is new to you, or if you are curious how individuals became rich off of them during the dot-com boom, refer to the following tutorial: IPO Basics
Depending on the type of commitment required by the issuing company, several kinds of underwriting agreements are formed, each with its own level of risk:
Firm Commitment: Firm commitment is the most commonly used type of underwriting contract. The underwriter agrees to buy securities from the issuing corporation and pay the proceeds to the company. Any losses that occur due to unsold shares are prorated amongst the participating underwriting firms according to their proportional participation.
Best Efforts: Best efforts underwriting allows the firm (or underwriting syndicate) to act as agent for the issuing corporation and limits the responsibility of that firm to the shares it is able to sell. All unsold shares are absorbed by the issuer.
All or None: All or none underwriting allows the issuing corporation to contract for the sale of all shares. If any shares remain at the end of the underwriting process, the underwriting is canceled. Underwriters cannot deceive investors by stating that all of the securities in the underwriting have been sold if it is not true.
- Standby: Standby underwriting allows an underwriting firm (or syndicate) to wait in the wings during an additional offering of shares under a rights offering. The standby underwriter will purchase any shares that are not purchased by the company's current shareholders. The underwriter will purchase the unused rights, exercise them and sell the shares.
Exam Tips and Tricks
The exam will probably ask you to distinguish between the various types of underwriting agreements.

Washington's source for compelling television and inspiring classical music. Donate Online
Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Namath made his professional football debut? Shea Stadium in New York? Wrong. Fenway Park in Boston? Wrong again. D.C. Stadium in Washington? Nice try, but no.So where do you think
The correct answer is… George Washington High School in Alexandria, Virginia. Say what? Yes, it's true.
On August 7, 1965 Namath and the New York Jets played the Houston Oilers at GWHS in their first preseason game of the 1965 AFL season. (Namath had participated in the Jets' rookie game vs. the Boston Patriots a few days prior, but this was his first taste of the "varsity.") The game was a charity benefit sponsored by Kena Temple, the local Shriners organization, and was wrapped into the city's annual "Alexandria Days" summer festival.
As you might imagine, hosting a professional football game was a pretty big deal for Alexandria. Temporary bleachers were brought in and GW's stadium, which was already pretty big for a high school stadium, was enlarged to seat 25,000 people. Tickets went for $6.00 and could be purchased at locations around the D.C. area including the Pentagon, the Willard Hotel and select businesses.[1]
Prior to the game, Houston coach Hugh "Bones" Taylor (who had been a Redskin during his playing days) was presented with a key to the city and Oilers players – including future Hall of Famer George Blanda – took part in the a parade down King Street, tossing miniature footballs to kids along the way.[2] At GW, Shriners kept fans entertained with the "Kena Klowns," a pep band of Temple members and a color guard.
So, how did Namath fare in Alexandria?
Pretty well, actually. Playing only half the game (he split time with another quarterback) Namath led the Jets to 13 points and threw for 110 yards. The performance inspired Gazette reporter Lloyd Groves to write that Namath, "no doubt, made believers out of most of the fans who witnessed his pro football baptism."[4] In the end, however, "Broadway" Joe (or maybe we should call him "King Street" Joe?) wasn't enough to knock off the Oilers, who took home a 21-16 victory.
Anyone remember the game? Comment below with your memories!

Western SARE Grantee-Produced Info Product
Regional Distribution Networks Case Studies
A sustainable food system is dependent on a variety of actors, so University of California-Davis researchers conducted case studies of distribution networks in California to examine the existing relationships between producers and other firms that facilitate a values-based supply chain. This publication addresses the financial, policy and entrepreneurial factors that influence the development of these emerging distribution networks that consequently help support small- and medium-sized producers.

Roost use by two sympatric species of Scotophilus in a natural environment
Monadjem, Ara; Raabe, Tara; Dickerson, Brian; Silvy, Nova; McCleery, Robert. 2010. Roost use by two sympatric species of Scotophilus in a natural environment. South African Journal of Wildlife Research. 40(1): 73-76.
doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.3957/056.040.0108
Roost use by African bats is poorly known, particularly for those using cavities in trees. Two sympatric species of Scotophilus were fitted with transmitters and tracked to their respective roosts in a natural savanna site in Swaziland. Both species roosted exclusively in trees, apparently preferring Combretum imberbe trees with large girths. The conservation of such roosting trees may be critical to the continued persistence of cavity-nesting insectivorous bats in African savannas.

Washington. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has called on Cambodia to release activists detained in protests over land rights and to permit free elections, the State Department said on Wednesday.
Clinton met in Washington on Tuesday with Cambodia's foreign minister, Hor Namhong, as Phnom Penh prepares to host this year's meetings of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
Offering a fuller account of the meeting, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said that Clinton discussed a broad range of issues including human rights.
Campaigners say Cambodia recently jailed 13 women and detained an activist monk as they tried to symbolically rebuild homes of families evicted to make way for a private development at Boeung Kak Lake in the capital.
Clinton "did express our concern over the recent protests regarding land rights issues and urged Cambodia to allow Boeung Kak Lake detainees full access to due process," Nuland told reporters.
Clinton told Hor Namhong "that their release would be a sign of support for freedom of expression," Nuland said.
Land titles are a murky issue in Cambodia where land ownership was abolished during the genocidal 1975-1979 rule of the Khmer Rouge and many legal documents were lost.
Nuland said that Clinton also raised the case of opposition leader Sam Rainsy, who lives in self-imposed exile after being convicted on a series of charges such as forgery that his supporters contend are politically motivated.
"The secretary talked about the importance of a free, fair, transparent election in 2013 and with appropriate participation across the political spectrum," Nuland said.
But Clinton commended Cambodia for not moving ahead with a controversial law that activists fear would constrain non-governmental organizations.
Non-governmental groups have played an active role in rebuilding Cambodia since it emerged from the Khmer Rouge regime and civil war. Prime Minister Hun Sen has repeatedly clashed with groups over their power of the purse and occasional criticism of government policies.

Lunch and a Workshop
We often partner with the Dancing Moose Cafe across the street in order to accommodate large groups. We split the group into teams and while one group is doing a workshop with us, the other would go to the Dancing Moose for tea, coffee, or lunch overlooking the bay. It is an excellent way to spend an afternoon!

Air China has issued another US Export-Import Bank-guaranteed bond to finance a new Boeing 777-300ER (MSN 38674).
The $140.7 million bond carries a coupon of 1.605%.
Citibank is the sole arranger and sole bookrunner of the 12-year bond, which priced at mid-swaps, plus 52 basis points.
The aircraft is part of a joint mandate with BNP Paribas. Under the terms of the mandate, BNP Paribas financed the first aircraft in September while Citibank financed the second aircraft.
In June Air China placed $134.5 million in Ex-Im guaranteed bonds for the financing of another 777-300ER through sole arranger and bookrunner HSBC. The wrapped bonds, which had a coupon of 1.972%, were priced at par, or around 75 basis points over swaps. The term is 12 years.
Last November, Air China tapped the capital markets through leasing entity Purple Chen 2011. It mandated BNP Paribas to arrange a $135 million Ex-Im guaranteed bond. The French bank was the sole arranger and bookrunner of the bond. The transaction priced at 2.735%.

Use with Caution: I experienced loss of Wi-Fi connection, app freezes & the inability to turn off the restricted access. (*iPad2)
I tried this for a client, the iPad was for the Crestron control system of their custom AV system. I got tired of people switching the Wi-Fi from the sandboxed Crestron network to the corporate Wi-Fi with Internet, then wondering why they couldn't control anything.
In about a week (maybe the long time was the problem) they couldn't control anything, and the app was basically frozen and I couldn't triple click out of the guided access settings.
I had to hard reboot the iPad.
I'm sure this is a rare example, and this feature is more intended for locking on a game for your kid so he can't go messing up other stuff.

Liverpool Football Club has today confirmed that midfielder Conor Coady has joined League One side Sheffield United on a six-month loan deal.
The 20-year-old joins the Blades, currently managed by former Everton defender David Weir, in time for the beginning of their 2013-14 campaign on Friday, August 2.
United finished fifth in the League One standings last season before suffering elimination at the semi-final stage of the play-offs by Yeovil Town.
Captain of the Reds' U21s team, Coady made his senior Liverpool debut during 2012-13, starting the Europa League clash against Anzhi Makhachkala in November 2012.
He also made his Barclays Premier League bow for the club by appearing as a late substitute at Fulham in May of this year. Coady wore the skipper's armband for England at the U20 World Cup earlier this summer.

This course is a collection of short Photoshop and Illustrator projects and creative effects that can be completed in ten minutes or less. The series is taught by computer graphics guru Deke McClelland, and presented in his signature step-by-step style. The intent is to reveal how various Photoshop and Illustrator features can be combined and leveraged in real-world examples so that they can be applied to creative projects right away.
Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland. Welcome to Deke's Techniques! This week I'll show you how to create a design inside Illustrator that looks like money, because after all, who doesn't like looking at money? But let me give you a sense of how this works. We're going to take the design from last week and then we're going to add some scalloped edges around that black circle, as well as adding the number 5 of course. And then we'll create this double wavy line pattern around the circle using dynamic effects, and then finally we'll go ahead and sculpt the number 5 so it looks like money.
Here, let me show you exactly how it works. Here's that money style emblem so you have a chance to see it on screen. I'm going to switch back to this version of the illustration here, and the first thing we want to do is add some scalloping to the edges of this black circle in the background. So I'm going to scroll down my list here inside the Layers panel and click in the upper right corner of the circle 5 layer in order to select that shape. Then, I'll go up to the Effect menu, choose Distort & Transform and choose Zig Zag, which allows me to create a scalloping pattern, and it really becomes effective once we add the stroke, but we need to approach the fill first.
So I'm going to change the Size value to 6, and I happen to be working in pixels, because this is a web document, and I'm going to take the Ridges per segment number up in just a moment after I turn on the Preview check box so I can see what I'm doing. I don't want to add these corners to my path outline, so I'm going to switch the Points to Smooth, like so, and that gives us this kind of waving edge. And then I'll click inside the Ridges per segment value and I'll press the Up Arrow key in order to take that value up to 9. Then click OK.
Now I want to add some extra ridges that will come in very handy once we add the stroke. So I'll go up to the Effect menu, choose Distort & Transform, and then choose the Transform command. I'll turn on the Preview check box so I can see what I'm doing. I'm going to take the Copies value up to 1, and then I'm going to nudge the Angle value up to 9 degrees, which is the point at which we see even scalloping. All right, now go ahead and click OK in order to accept that change. Now I want to apply a stroke, but I want the stroke to appear in front of all the spirograph pattern, so it needs to go to a different layer.
So I'll go up to the Edit menu and choose the Copy command, or you can press Ctrl+C or Command+C on the Mac, then switch all the way up to the number 5 layer, turn it on, and click on that layer to make it active. Now I want you to go to the Layers panel flyout menu and turn off this command right here, Paste Remembers Layers. So it should be off for this next step to work. Then you want to click on the 5 in order to select it and go up to the Edit menu and choose Paste in Front or press Ctrl+F or Command+F on the Mac, and you should see that big scallop circle in the foreground.
Now we want to get rid of the fill and replace it with the stroke. So switch over to the Appearance panel and grab the Fill and drag it to the Trash, just to get rid of it. Then click on the Stroke to make it active, and we want this Stroke color to be White, and then I'll take the Line Weight value up to 4 points. I want to add a black edge around that white stroke, so I'll click on the little page icon at the bottom of the panel in order to duplicate the Stroke. Then I'll switch to the rear most stroke, change its color to black, and then I'll take the Stroke Weight value up from 4 points to 6 points.
And we end up getting this braided effect, as you can see right here. That might be exactly what you're looking for; in my case it's not. I want to see a continuous white edge that has a black outline behind it, and to achieve that effect you need to grab the Transform effect here inside the Appearance panel and drag it above the Stroke and Fill, directly below Zig Zag, and you'll end up achieving this effect here. Now at this point I decided this white stroke should actually be a kind of pale shade of green, as is the case with American money.
So I went ahead and Shift+Clicked on the white swatch in order to bring up the RGB values here, and I changed the Red value to 230, entered a Green value of 235, and then I took the Blue value down to 200. Now let's take care of this 5 here. I'll click on it to make it active. Notice that I've gone ahead and converted this character to a path outline, so that you're not going to get any kind of font warning. And I'm going to need two Fills; one for the black shadow and another for the interior of the letter. So I'll go ahead and click on the Fill to make it active and then click on the little page icon at the bottom of the panel in order to duplicate it.
And I'll Shift+Click on that Fill swatch for the uppermost Fill in order to bring up my RGB values, and I'll dial in those same values as before; that is a Red value of 230, a Green value of 235, and a Blue value of 200. Now I'll click on the black fill in the background there and I'll go up to the Effect menu, choose Distort & Transform, and choose Transform, because I want to move it down and to the right. So I'm going to increase the Horizontal value to 4 pixels and I'll take the Vertical value up to 4 pixels as well, turn on the Preview check box, and you can see that creates a hard edge shadow. Then click OK.
Next, I want to expand the shadow a little. So I'll go up to the Effect menu, choose Path, and then choose Offset Path, and I'm going to take that Offset value up to 2 pixels, and then I'll turn on the Preview check box to see how it looks. That's great! Then I'll click OK. Now I want to add a couple of strokes. The first stroke needs to be behind the green fill. With the black fill selected, I'll drop down to this first icon at the bottom of the panel, Add New Stroke and click on it, and that should go ahead and add a black stroke by default.
And then I went ahead and took the Line Weight value up to 4 points, like so. Finally what we want to do is add a little bit of tracing on the inside of the letter. I think that's pretty much what sells this effect. So I'm going to click on the Fill to make it active and then I'll add another Stroke by clicking on that Add New Stroke icon once again. And this time I want the Stroke Weight to be 0.5, and I want to move it inward, and you do that by going up to the Effect menu, choosing Path, and choosing Offset Path again. However, this time I'm going to take the Offset value down to -3 pixels, then I'll turn on the Preview check box and you can see that we end up tracing on the inside of the character.
Now I'll click OK in order to accept that change. The only thing left is to change the color of the spirograph pattern. So I'm going to click anywhere on any one of these path outlines here to select it, and then I'll go up to the Control panel. On the far right side here is this Select Similar Options icon. Go ahead and click on the down pointing arrow head and confirm that All is selected, in which case you then want to click on the icon itself inward to select all of the paths that match those same attributes. Now go over to the left side of the Control panel and Shift+Click on the Stroke swatch right there, and I'm going to dial in those same values again; a Red value of 230, a Green value of 235, and a Blue value of 200, and I'll press Ctrl+H or Command+H on the Mac so I can see what the heck I'm doing.
Notice that we can see a little bit of green out beyond the seal now, and we can mitigate that little by changing the blend mode here in the Transparency panel from Normal to Screen, but it doesn't actually do anything, because there's nothing to mix with in the background. We can't just mix with page white, and we'll take care of that in just a moment. But in the meantime, I'm going to take the Opacity value down to 75%. Let's give those lines something to mix with so that the Screen mode can do its work. I'll switch back to the Layers panel, scroll all the way to the bottom, to the circle 5 layer, and click in its upper right-hand corner, like so, in order to select that shape.
We can't currently see it because I've got my selection edges turned off, so I'll press Ctrl+H or Command+H on the Mac in order to bring them back. And then I'll press Ctrl+C or Command+C on the Mac to copy that path, and I'll press Ctrl+B or Command+B on the Mac in order to paste it in back. I'll switch back over to the Appearance panel, click on the flyout menu icon in the upper right corner and choose Clear Appearance to get rid of everything that's going on where that path outline is concerned, and then I'll click in the Fill swatch right there and I'll change it to white.
Now we need to make the path larger by double- clicking on the Scale tool here inside the Toolbox. I came up with a uniform value of 120%, then I clicked OK, and you can see that now those faint lines completely disappear. Now if you press Ctrl+Shift+A or Command+Shift+A on the Mac you'll deselect the artwork. And that's how you turn spirographs into a currency quality emblem here inside Illustrator.

COLUMBIA CITYтАФ Main Street in Columbia City could soon be considered more than just the stretch of Ind. 9 that goes through the community.
City officials are working with state leaders at the Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA) to achieve Indiana Main Street designation for Columbia City.
According to OCRAтАЩs website, Indiana Main Street encourages the revitalization and restoration of downtown areas in Indiana cities and towns. The program provides technical assistance and educational opportunities to participating communities.
It allows cities and towns that are members to apply for grants and special funding, according to Columbia City Community Development Director Jeff Walker.
Walker recently attended a conference in Carmel entitled тАЬLove Your Downtown,тАЭ that featured several ideas to help with this goal.
тАЬThere are so many different ideas,тАЭ he said. тАЬWe were encouraged to take them from other communities, and have them fit our community. That was the premise of the program (in Carmel.)тАЭ
Leaders hope Columbia City can achive the designation by the end of the year.

I have big doubt on how to give a name to the objects in certain cases, like Sequence diagram and component diagrams.
Sometimes, it is name:name (always underline), sometimes it is just :name, some other time is name without columns.
Which is the difference? Are there other systems to give names to objects?
Thank you,

E.g.A Person object called John is representedJohn:Person
The underline denotes it is an object and not a class. An anonymous object does not require a left hand identifier.
E.g.Any Person object is respresented:Person
When showing interaction with a static method such as in an interaction diagram there is no unlerline.These are the UML standard naming conventions.
Hope this is of help

Nanu Nanna Kanasu Kannada Movie Online
Banner: Duet Movies, Media House
Cast: Prakash Raj, Amoolya, Ramesh Aravind, Sithara, Achyuth Kumar, Sihikahi Chandru, Baby Krithika, Veena Sunder, Rajesh
Direction: Prakash Raj
Production: Prakash RajMusic: Hamsalekha
Movie Review
This is yet another �Laali� (State award winning film - Dr Vishnuvaradhan and Mohini starring Dinesh Baboo directed, Produced by Rockline Venkatesh) for the Kannada audience. In the maiden directorial venture Prakash Raj remaking his Tamil film �Abhiyum Naanum� has not dropped in the substance, style, significance and a neat sojourn for the audience.
Besides the brilliant performances the music and lyrics of Hamsalekha, cinematography are added extra dimension to the film. The ultimate aspect of living in memories is a memorable one from this film. The dreams get shattered in life. With such a condition making life meaningful and memorable is what the film touches upon with the backdrop of lush green background in most of the scenes in �Naanu Nanna Kanasu�.
Raj Uthappa (Prakash Raj) a Coorgi is very possessive father of his daughter Kanasu (Amoolya). This is over possessiveness for others but that is how Raj Uthappa wants to groom and care his daughter who is everything in his life. The utmost care is reciprocated by Kanasu as she grows. Not in the issue related to her selection of a partner. In the two years Business Management course in New Delhi Kanasu falls in love with Joginder who is an independent Journalist and economist. Not able to digest when his daughter put up this proposal Raj Uthappa takes his time to come to terms. His very supportive wife (played by Sithara) brings in courage when the inevitable situation of marriage arises.
In the selection what his daughter has made and Samaritan attitude of Joginder makes Raj Uthappa to feel proud and he agrees for a simple registered marriage and a reception for his daughter wedding.
The other characters creep inside the boundary of the film also makes it very absorbing. The Beggar who comes from Government College to the hill station for change in the climatic condition shows how good the screenplay is all about.
Always a stunner in his roles Prakash Raj has given a controlled performance and his angry moments are treat to watch. As a caring father he shines and sets an example. Amoolya is the right choice in fact. She has given a splendid performance as daughter to Prakash Raj. The performance of Ramesh Aravind, Achyuth Kumar, Rajesh, Sithara are in no way inferior.
The grand cinematography of Ananth Urs gives a picture of the lovely locations of Coorg, the lovely scorings of Hamsalekha with his beautiful lines in the songs takes the film to an extraordinary height. Laayari sung by Kailash Kher is the best�.the song Balukathallamma Nam Cauvery�..is fabulous.
This is worth watching by the entire family.

While this showing isn't billed as a sing-along event, it's a safe bet that it will become one. With an impressive soundtrack that received widespread critical acclaim from music critics, it debuted at No. 18 on the Billboard 200 chart, peaking at No. 1, becoming the fourth soundtrack album from an animated film to reach that milestone.
"Frozen" follows Anna, who teams up with Kristoff, his loving reindeer Sven and a snowman named Olaf, as she races to find her sister, Elsa, whose powers have brought an eternal winter to their kingdom.
Attendees of Movies in the Park are encouraged to pack a picnic and bring a blanket and/or chairs. Beer and wine are allowed but glass and pets are not permitted.

7 Miles a Second is the story of legendary artist David Wojnarowicz, written during the last years before his AIDS-related death in 1992, and drawn by James Romberger with colors by Marguerite Van Cook. This graphic novel depicts Wojnarowicz's childhood of prostitution and drugs on the streets of Manhattan, through his adulthood living with AIDS, and his anger at the indifference of government and health agencies.
Originally published as a comic book in 1996 by DC's Vertigo Comics, an imprint best-known for horror and fantasy material such as The Sandman, 7 Miles a Second was an instant critical success, but struggled to find an audience amongst the typical Vertigo readership. It has become a cult classic amongst fans of literary and art comics, just as Wojnarowicz's influence and reputation have widened in the larger art world.
Romberger and Van Cook's visuals give stunning life to Wojnarowicz's words, blending the gritty naturalism of Lower East Side street life with a hallucinatory, psychedelic imagination that takes perfect advantage of the comics medium. This new edition will finally present the artwork as it was intended: oversized, and with Van Cook's elegant watercolors restored. It also includes several new pages created for this edition.
"The rough and seedy style of Romberger's illustrations provides a perfect foil for Wojnarowicz's text. Seven Miles a Second veers between an almost unbearably gritty naturalism and the incendiary heat of surrealist hallucination. " - The New Yorker

G. E. FRANCK HOSE ASSEMBLY Nov. 26, 1968 Filed Jan. lO. 1966 United States Patent O 3,412,760 HOSE ASSEMBLY George E. Franck, Morton Grove, Ill., assignor to Imperial-Eastman Corporation, a corporation of Illinois Filed Jan. 10, 1966, Ser. No. 519,566 1 Claim. (Cl. 13S-96) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A hose assembly including a flexible hose having a threaded free end and a rigid block provided with an open-sided slot and a threaded closure integral therewith adapted to have the threaded hose end attached thereto for closing the free end of the hose and maintaining the hose of a looped configuration.
Background of the invention This invention relates to hose means and in particular to means for closing the free end of a hose assembly.
In devices such as testing gauges, one or more hoses are connected to a manifold for selective connection of the free ends of the hoses to portions of the system being tested. It has been found that the extension of the free ends of the hoses loosely from the manifold presents an undesirable condition in that dirt may enter into the free hose end and the free disposition of the hose end presents an undesirable dangling thereof. One solution to this problem has been to provide on the manifold means for securing the free ends of the hoses thereto. Such a solution has not been found to be completely satisfactory as it presents a serious cost problem in the manufacture of the manifold and requires that the manifold be enlarged sufiiciently to permit the mounting of the additional structure thereon. The present invention is concerned with an improved hose assembly wherein new and improved means are provided for eliminating the dangling hose end problem in a novel and simple manner.
Thus, a principal object of the present invention is the provision of a new and improved hose assembly.
A further object of the invention is the provision of such a hose assembly having new and improved means for selectively closing a free hose end.
Another object of the invention is the provision of such a hose assembly having new and improved means for retaining a free hose end in a looped configuration.
Still another object of the invention is the provision of such a hose assembly having new and improved means for selectively retentively closing the free hose end.
A yet further object of the invention is the provision of such a hose assembly including a fiexible hose having a free end arranged to be selectively disposed laterally adjacent a portion of the hose spaced from said end, structure for selectively retentively closing said hose end comprising closure means for closing the hose end, means adjustably secured to the spaced hose portion, and means retaining the closure means in association with the adjustably secured means.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing wherein:
FIGURE 1 is a front elevation of a fiuid tester having a hose assembly embodying the invention with the free ends of the hose assembly being shown in broken lines as connected to fluid apparatus as for testing;
FIGURE 2 is an isometric View of the structure for selectively retentively closing the hose end;
FIGURE 3 is an enlarged transverse section taken substantially along the line 3 3 of FIGURE 1; and
3,412,760 Patented Nov. 26, 1968 ice FIGURE 4 is a vertical section taken substantially Ialong the line 4-4 of FIGURE 3.
In the exemplary embodiment of the invention as disclosed in the drawing, a fluid tester generally designated 10 is shown to comprise a manifold 11 to which is connected a suitable gauge 12. The manifold may be of suitable conventional construction for selectively delivering fiuid therethrough to the gauge for indicating fluid pressures delivered to the manifold through a plurality of hose assemblies generally designated 13. As shown in FIGURE 1, the manifold may be provided with suitable fittings 14 to which one end 15 of the hose assemblies 13 may be connected by suitable conventional cooperating fittings 16. The hose assemblies 13 further include an elongated hose portion 17 having a distal free end 18 which as shown in FIGURE 1 may be connected to a fiuid pressure device to be tested, Isuch as device 19, by means of suitable fittings 20 secured to the free hose ends 18 and adapted to cooperate with complementary fittings 21 on the device 19.
As discussed briey above, it is desirable to provide some means for selectively closing the free ends 18 of the hose assemblies 13 when the fiuid tester 10 is not in testing use. The present invention comprehends an improved structure generally designated 22 for this purpose. More specifically, as shown in FIGURE 2, structure 22 includes a fitting 23 defining a closure means for closing the free hose end 18 by cooperative engagement with the fitting 20.
In the illustrated embodiment, the fittings 20 and 23 comprise cooperating female and male threaded fittings, respectively, and may be of any suitable conventional construction. The tting 23 is a blind fitting, so as to define a closure for the hose end 18 when the fitting 20 is threadedly secured thereto. The closure fitting 23 is carried on a block element 24, and in the illustrated embodiment is formed integrally therewith as a plastic molding. The block 24 includes a first portion 25 provided with a cylindrical slot 26 axially parallel to said fitting 23 and having a diameter slightly smaller than the outside diameter of the hose 17, as shown in FIG- URE 3. The slot is provided with an open side portion 27 opening through one side 28 of the block 24 to permit the hose to be inserted into the slot 26 laterally by a slight compression thereof, as illustrated in FIGURE 3. The thickness of the block 24 between the upper surface 29 and the lower surface 30 thereof is preferably substantial and herein approximately equal to the diameter of the hose 17 so as to provide a substantial frictional surface for retaining the block on the hose while yet permitting ready adjustable positioning of the block thereon as desired. More specifically, the block may be moved longitudinally on the hose or rotated about the axis of the hose as desired for suitable positioning thereof. The thickness of the block between front surface 31 and rear surface 32 thereof is preferably slightly smaller than the diameter of the fitting 20 to permit facilitated fingertip manipulation of the fitting in connecting it to and removing it from the fitting 23. Further, as illustrated in FIGURE l, the fitting 20 may be provided with an external knurled surface 33 for further facilitating the fingertip manipulation thereof.
The disposition of the structure 22 on the hose 17 may be adjusted prior to or after the hose end 18 is connected to the fitting 23 as desired. Normally, the structure 22 is disposed on the hose adjacent the end 15 which is thusly spaced substantially from the free end 18 and permitting the hose to be effectively doubled up in the looped secured arrangement whereby the free extent of the hose from the manifold is approximately onehalf the free extent of the hose where the free end 18 is allowed to dangle. Thus, the structure 22 not only provides means for closing the hose end 1B by closing the iitting 20 thereon, but also etfectively maintains the hose in a compact looped arrangement for facilitated handling of the iluid tester 10 such as during transport thereof.
The structure 22 as indicated above may be formed of suitable material such as molded plastic, and thus is extremely economical to manufacture. As the structure may be mounted on any existing hose structure by simple insertion of the desired portion of the existing hose structure into the slot 26, the structure is adapted for 'use -with existing fluid testers. As the structure is extremely simple and economical of construction, in the event that the threaded fit-ting portion 23 should become Worn or damaged by the repeated attachment of hose end litting 20 thereto, the structure may be discarded and a substitute structure provided at minimum cost.
-While I have shown and described one embodiment of my invention, it is to be understood that it is capable of many modifications. Changes, therefore, in the construction and arrangement may be made Without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
I claim:
1. In a hose assembly including a llexible hose having 4 a threaded free end arranged to be selectively disposed laterally adjacent a portion of the hose spaced from said free end, structure for selectively retentively closing said free end comprising: a rigid block having an open-sided slot having an axial length at least substantially equal to the diameter thereof and adapted to have said spaced hose portion adjustably frictionally retained therein; and a threaded closure integral with said block and extending parallel to the axis of said slot for threadedly receiving and closing said threaded free end of the hose.

Martin's Family Fruit Farm Ltd.
About Us
The name "Martin" is part of Waterloo Region's history. It's also part of Waterloo Region's apple-growing history. Martin's Family Fruit Farm , owned and operated by Leighton, Steve, Ken and Kevin Martin, began in 1971 when a Yugoslavian hired farm-hand with orchard experience convinced Leighton Martin to plant 100 apple trees. More trees were planted each year, and to keep up with the demand, expansions to storage and packing facilities were undertaken in the 1980s and 1990s. A further expansion to the retail store in 2007 has resulted in today's fully integrated vertical apple operation. It includes the growing and production of apples, all the way down the chain to wholesale and retail sales of apples, and the further processing of apples into products such as cider and apple butter.
While apples are definitely the focus of the Martin Family Fruit Farm operations, pear trees have been around almost as long as the apple trees. To offer customers a fuller line of local products, the Martin's have diversified their retail store to include seasonal local fruits and vegetables, maple syrup, honey, jams, jellies, relishes and preserves. In addition to the retail store, which is open year-round, Martin's Family Fruit Farm products are also available at the St. Jacob's Farmers Market.

Abbey College students help with real-life hospice project
Posted: May 03, 2013|
STUDENTS at Abbey College in Ramsey have been playing a part in a real-life business project at a children's hospice visited by the Duchess of Cambridge.
The Year 12 business students helped out with research into donors who support the Naomi House Children's Hospice in Hampshire as part of their school work.
They did the work on the day that the Duchess, who is patron of East Anglia's Children's Hospices, was featured in the news when she visited Naomi House.
The college's business studies department has been working with Cheryl Greyson, of Ramsey firm Greyson Marketing, and Naomi House is her nominated charity.
Mrs Greyson was able to get the students involved in the project to find out more about the charity's donors.
She said: "I was extremely impressed by the way the students tackled the research analysis.
"They demonstrated a real aptitude for business and learnt some new skills in statistical analysis, project management and team work, as well as doing a good deed for a charity that helps teenagers who are less fortunate than themselves."
Keith Wilson, from Naomi House, said: "We are really grateful to Abbey College and Greyson Marketing for supporting Naomi House during Children's Hospice Week.

Radiation Plume Could Reach Tokyo: U.S. Scientists
Date: 16-Mar-11
Country: USA
Author: Deborah Zabarenko
The No.3 nuclear reactor of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant is seen burning after a blast following an earthquake and tsunami in this handout satellite image taken March 14, 2011.
Photo: Reuters/Digital Globe/Handout
If the containment at the nuclear power plant damaged by Japan's devastating earthquake fails, a potential radiation plume from a full core meltdown could reach Tokyo, a U.S. scientists' organization said on Tuesday.
Japan faces a potential catastrophe after a stricken nuclear power plant exploded and sent low levels of radiation floating toward Tokyo, prompting some people to flee the capital and others to stock up on essential supplies.
The Union of Concerned Scientists also said a "jerry-rigged" cooling system at the Japanese plant would be hard to maintain if all workers there were evacuated.
Nuclear power and safety experts at the group said they were "very concerned" that ongoing activities at the plant would become more challenging for on-site workers. A larger radiation plume could travel hundreds of miles (km), the scientists said in a telephone briefing.
A crack in the containment vessel could allow radiation to exit the reactor in case of a core meltdown, the scientists said. They said the Japanese government should extend the evacuation zone around the troubled Fukushima Daiichi power station.

My Life Is Currently A Thomas The Train Wreck
22 months.
"Whoo-whoo. Whoo-whoo. Crash!"
That's Jack's understanding of what trains are supposed to do, thanks to his current obsession, Thomas & Friends.
It's the first TV show that he will watch for more than 3 minutes at a time.
I have to admit—it took some getting used to: It's a weird format consisting of puppetry and storytelling, perfectly narrated by Alec Baldwin, of all people.
As an American, it become obvious to me from the beginning that Thomas & Friends is based off of a British book series.
The first thing that gave it away was how it seems that in every episode one of the trains gets "cross" with another, puffing away perturbed. (Though he eventually apologizes for his uncivilized behavior.)
I also laughed out loud one time when Alec Baldwin, who gives voice to all the different characters, including the rare female ones, told two of the other trains, "Stop gossiping!"
In modern American culture, for one man to tell two other men to stop gossiping would be like calling them girls, to put it mildly.
So this is basically my impression of my son's new favorite TV show: Every episode consists of trains getting "cross" at each other about the loads they are hauling and then gossiping with each other, or one of the trains gets too prideful and crashes off a cliff. Then apologizes to Sir Topham Hatt about it.
And that explains why when Jack plays with his Sir Handel and Percy trains, he says, "Whoo-whoo. Whoo-whoo. Crash!"
I dig it, though. I do.
In fact, maybe I dig it a little too much:
These days I'm a tad bit distracted thinking about Jack's die cast metal Thomas the Train collection; the ones designed for the Take-n-Play sets. For his 2nd birthday next month, we bought him a Rumbling Gold Mine set, which comes with the actual Thomas train.
So that means Jack will have Sir Handel, Percy, and Thomas. But now Jack's favorite character seems to be the ever-so-moody Gordon.
Plus, there's a character called Jack. How can I not get him Jack?
Not to mention, Jack is enthralled by fire trucks, and there is character called Flynn, who is a fire truck.
I care way too much about my son's growing die cast metal Thomas & Friends collection.
This weekend I asked him, "Jack, do you want Harold the Helicopter?"
He instantly replied, "No."
Bummer. For me.
With that being said, it should be no surprise that my wife and I have the same ring tone for when we call each other. You guessed it:
The theme song to Thomas & Friends.
Yes, we really are that cool.
(My wife even made a "practice birthday cake" in the form of a train this past weekend. When you look at it upside down, it sort of looks like a bear.)
Without a doubt, Jack's birthday will be saturated in the Thomas & Friends theme.
Good thing he's a boy. It seems like there's no cool girl equivalent to Thomas the Train.
At least, there's not one quite as obsessive.

KULPMONT — At Holy Angels Church in Kulpmont, Roman Catholics gathered to worship during a mass Thursday night.
Many were shocked by the death of Bishop Joseph McFadden.
"Sadness, shock, it was quite sudden, and he was a man of the people and a very gentle-hearted bishop, so he will be missed," said Maria Foris, a parish member.
"I was surprised because he was a young man and for him to pass away that quick, I don't think anyone was expecting anything like that," said Michael Sikora of Kulpmont.
McFadden was installed as Bishop of the Harrisburg Diocese in 2010.
He was the 10th Bishop of Harrisburg.
The diocese includes 15 counties, including Columbia, Montour, Snyder, Union and Northumberland.
Some in Kulpmont said despite his death, things will change for Catholics in the area.
"I doubt it would be a long-term problem, but this is a close-knit community and these are small towns, and I think people will be okay until they get around to electing a new one," said Joseph Phillipine of Kulpmont.
Church leaders will now choose an administrator to deal with day-to-day business in the diocese. The Pope will then appoint a new bishop.
"Hoping we will be blessed with a spiritual man to lead the people of Harrisburg onward and filling the void that the Bishop has left," said Foris.
Services for Bishop McFadden begin Sunday night. The schedule of events is posted here.

Product description
For 2000 years the state-run libraries of imperial China systematically assembled standard collections of books from the past and present. Although the collections themselves were lost through warfare and fire, the classified catalogues prepared by the Privy Director of Books were often used in compiling national bibliographies for the state-sponsored dynastic histories. Through these and other catalogues we learn much about books now lost and even the contents of lost books can be sampled through quotations in medieval encyclopedias.These lectures discuss the dynamics of loss and survival; the role of the imperial state in manipulating book culture through classification and selective preservation; the significance of lost books as an index of superseded knowledge and values. An analysis of two specific cases demonstrates the insights to be gained through textual reconstruction and the inadequacies of standard classifications in times past and present. Medieval Chinese literature emerges as a richer, more problematic, less docile body of work than the orthodoxies of the last millennium would wish.

First thing I do in an MMO is check out crafting.
So why is it that new MMO's seem to follow the same bland path of 'add ingredients' and click?
Anet has gone to the trouble of making some nice crafting stations, multiple ingredients and even a discovery panel. Lets face it though, within 10 minutes you know every discovery recipe will be on the net. Besides that its pretty generic and that is disappointing as it could have really enhanced the game.
I really miss crafting systems that had that element of making something incredible or achieving something.
Vanguard - The daddy of crafting systems. This game had a system that was mind boggling. A whole set of items/clothing just for crafting. I remember travelling across vast distances just to find a new recipe to make a different looking cupboard. Making an item took skill and once mastered was very rewarding.
EvE - Yes EvE has a click = make system. However, they had a lottery system which I heavily invested in and I managed to win 1 tech 2 Blue print in 6 years. I knew I was only one of a handful of people out of 150k players that had this. People were offering real life money for it. Another thing with EVE is the cost. You could learn anything but for a good recipe it would cost 100's of millions of ISK to get. So that was an achievement in itself and the recipe could be stolen or traded so it was guarded.
Earth & Beyond - I played a crafter type person and loved it. Reverse engineer a rare item and there was a slight chance you would learn the recipe. Most occassions it would blow up. So learning something great really was amazing. Items that were made had a percentage of quality. Make 5 items exactly the same and they would all be different.
So my gripe with GW2 is that its just not that inspiring or unique. Have the option to destory an item to see if you can learn it. Have an option to spend 3 gold to buy a rare recipe. It would be bloody hard but rewarding. Have recipes drop from NPC's or parts of a recipe that needed a person to farm from each corner of the world to get the whole piece.
GW2 is ok but I really really miss crafting that had that big wow element and option for a crafter to work really hard to earn something most don't have.

Fallen Earth's crafting was pretty decent I think. I'm not much of a crafter though, but having to build parts of something and put those parts together was pretty interesting. Building your very own car or bike is just really rewarding. GW2 as a whole just doesn't cut for me personally. I guess I was expecting too much. I was expecting real time/action combat and non-solo gameplay.

Yes it's no SWG or Vanguard that's for sure.
It's streamlined, like everything else in the game. Why not craft? Everyone crafts and crafting gives you XP. What is it? Ten levels total per craft you're trying to level up?
Everyone crafts (because it's so flipping easy), everyone gets the same rewards, everyone sells the same shit, no-one wins...or is it everyone wins (GW2 design philosophy)?
Meh, just do it. What can you lose? Aside from money/karma, if you're doing cooking.

I do accept it and use crafting a lot but I just feel modern MMO's ignore the importance of crafting and since GW2 have gone all out on exploration and harvest nodes etc. Its a shame they didn't put more effort into crafting.
What I really miss is the adrenalin rush of doing something with crafting and not knowing if it will work, or working my arse off to make something (Fallen Earth also did this, especially when you finally made a good vehicle)
Some examples
- In Earth and Beyond I spent 5 hours killing rare mobs to get a special weapon. I found 3 and I tried to reverse engineer and the first 2 blew up. These items were worth a lot of money as well and when the third worked I was pumped.
- In Vanguard I found an extremely rare piece of wood (only found 2 in 6 months) and I was crapping myself trying to make a unique bow at Grade A. I managed to just do it and then I was given the award of being the first on the server for making the item.
- In EvE I saved up around 900 million ISK to buy an original BP for a battleship. That took a lot of hard work but I knew it would benefit the corp big time.
GW2 like most MMO's have a craft system that really doens't punish or reward more than, add this and you get this...
