WATCH: Maya Angelou's Poem For Nelson Mandela
By Staff
Originally published on Sat December 7, 2013 12:35 pm
Since Nelson Mandela died on Thursday, there have been tributes big and small: from changing the color of the Eiffel Tower and the Empire State Building to musical tributes from children.
Yesterday, the U.S. State Department unveiled a tribute poem written by Dr. Maya Angelou for Mandela "on behalf of the American people."
"Yes, Mandela's day is done," the Pulitzer Prize-winning Angelou said. "Yet we, his inheritors, will open the gates wider for reconciliation."

Delegate Justin Marcum has presented a check for $250 to the Logan Empowerment, Action and Development (LEAD) Community Organization for their annual shoe drive.
Marcum said he was excited to hear that the LEAD organization had made a statement saying that they planned to open the shoe drive borders to include students in Mingo County.
"Children all over Southern West Virginia will be needing new shoes to star the school year and if we have the ability to assist anyone in getting those shoes, we will," LEAD President, US Army Major Richard Ojeda said.
Last year the LEAD Community Organization sent 163 children to school with brand new shoes that the kids were able to pick out for themselves. This year the overall goal is to send at least 250.
"The LEAD Community Organization, along with Shoe Show at the Fountain Place Plaza, are committed to helping children across Southern West Virginia," Ojeda said. "A donation such as this from Delegate Marcum, and recently the $1,000 check from the Logan County Sheriff's Association, will go a long way in making that happen.
To apply for a voucher, forms can be picked up at the LEAD office located in the PRIDE office in Logan. Or they can be found on their website, www.leadcommunityorg.com or facebook page at www.facebook.com/LEADorg/

KINGSTON, R.I. -- April 22, 2002 -- Gov. Lincoln Almond today was escorted to his new seat in the 8,000-seat Convocation Center by University of Rhode Island President Robert L. Carothers, other University officials, members of the construction team and the managers of the facility.
The governor is the first to take his seat in the $54 million center, which is about two months away from its official opening. Construction crews are in the final stages of work.
"From the first days when the Convocation Center was being discussed as a concept, I have looked forward to seeing this project become a reality," said Almond. "In a matter of weeks, this wonderful facility will become a working part of the University's athletic and cultural life. The Convocation Center is also a symbol of URI's growth. Like my fellow alumni, I have fond memories of Keaney Gym, which served my generation well. It is gratifying to know that the Convocation Center will be home to equally fond memories for current students and generations to come."
URI President Robert L. Carothers had high praise for the governor, who has co-chaired the Centers Blue Ribbon Steering Committee and been one of the strongest supporters not only of the Convocation Center project but of the unprecedented level of capital improvements involving residence halls, academic and administration buildings.
"As the first Rhode Island governor to have graduated from URI, Lincoln Almond has been more than faithful to his alma mater," Carothers said. "Generations of students and alumni will benefit from his leadership these past eight years."
Enthusiasm is building as the two-year Convocation Center project comes to a close and as the Center is about to become the focal point for athletics, cultural events, and entertainment for URI and the entire region.
Work began on the largest construction project in the Universitys history on July 13, 2000 when the governor operated a crane and swung a wrecking ball into the old field house at Meade Stadium, marking the start of demolition and site preparation for the 200,000-square-foot facility.
Its been 18 months since the governor joined other state and University officials for the official groundbreaking ceremonies in October 2000.
For many months, donors, alumni, and representatives of the media and corporations have been touring the building, walking through the stages of construction of the event floor, the concourse level and the luxury suite level. They toured the concourse and six luxury boxes, which have views of the arena floor and the Meade Stadium football field. They also viewed the seating layout, the three stair towers, which are modeled after lighthouses, and the locations for the seven concession stands and 10 restrooms.
In addition, the center puts students in prime viewing sections along the floor on three sides of the arena. Because of the steep design of the seating bowl, no seat will be more than 74 feet from the action.
The building stands 86 feet high and is built with tall walls of glass windows. The event level houses the arena and event floor space; the main concourse will provide access to spectator facilities, including general seating, restrooms, and concessions; the suite level will provide a venue for prime viewing and food service. Two lobbies will be provided on the ground level. An Alumni Room will also be available for rental.
While the construction project rolls on, $14.8 million of the $15 million private fund-raising goal has been raised as the campaign enters its final months. One of the final phases is the brick campaign, which allows supporters to buy a piece of history.
Bricks can be purchased for $150 each to pay tribute to favorite athletes, coaches, teams, faculty members, classmates, fraternities, sororities, clubs or alumni chapters.
The commemorative bricks will be placed in the North Plaza Brick Entry, which will be surrounded by pristine landscaping, sitting walls and walkways. A total of 4,500 bricks will make up the semicircular plaza. All bricks must be ordered by June 30, 2002. For order forms, visit the web site at www.advance.uri.edu/fundraising/convocationcenter/bricks or call 401-874-7536.
In March, URI said goodbye to Keaney Gym as its main athletic and entertainment venue with basketball games, concerts, special events and many great memories. URI had long ago outgrown Keaney, which was built in 1953 for a student body of 2,183. The University now enrolls more than 14,000.
Keaney will now be the headquarters of the URI womens volleyball team, and the Institute for International Sports New England Basketball Hall of Fame.

How Clean is Your Hospital? 15 Eye-Opening Facts
Hospital-acquired infections, also known as "noscomial" infections, have been recognized as a critical problem affecting the quality of healthcare and a principal source of adverse healthcare outcomes. Among all of the major complications that occur during hospitalization, nosocomial infections account for more than 50 percent. Until 2006, hospital administrations were not transparent about their infections, cleanliness, and hospital-acquired infection rates. However, this lack of transparency is dissipating — and with it comes some startling numbers. The bottom line is that hand washing is lax, creating more infections and costing patients more money when infected. This list is just a quick glimpse into the horrifying facts — issues that can be prevented with more care and attention to cleanliness. (more…)

text: It's definitely taken some time, but finally, Jessica Simpson is back to her pre-pregnancy body and she is looking amazing! Jess gave birth to a healthy baby girl back in early May, and struggled for a while to shed the pounds she'd packed on during pregnancy. She herself admitted she just loved to eat, and boy did it show! Even after signing a lucrative Weight Watchers deal to drop the weight, she still looked quite hefty as she was photographed hitting the gym, months after giving birth. Last month, she finally made her first public appearance with her official Weight Watchers body and though it was better than the pictures we'd seen, you can very clearly tell it's due in large part to the ultra-slimming outfit she's wearing. Finally this weekend, Jess hit the red carpet for her Jessica Simpson Girls Collections at Macy's launch in California, and she's definitely a tiny girl again! Watch her transition in the gallery. Congrats!

By getting rid of the miracle stories in the Bible, Bultmann and his followers hoped to make the Christian story more palatable to modern man.

From 2012: Many secular and many evangelical voices agree on one 'truism'—that if you are an orthodox Christian with a high view of the authority of the Bible, you cannot believe in evolution in any form at all.

All of you who do science, all of you who teach or research or you're involved in engineering or medicine or education, or biology or chemistry or physics—you are doing a noble thing. You are thinking God's thoughts after him. … You are obeying God's command given way back in Genesis to exercise dominion, to learn about, to be curious and discover and steward the earth.
The Psalmist is saying that when we walk outside and look up, the heavens are telling us two things about God: they tell us about his glory, and they tell us about what his hands can do.

To give your sheep or cow a large, spacious meadow is the way to control him. So it is with people: first let them do what they want, and watch them. This is the best policy. To ignore them is not good; that is the worst policy. The second worst is trying to control them. The best one is to watch them, just to watch them, without trying to control them.
—Shunryu Suzuki Roshi
We tend to manipulate body, breath and mind to accomplish zazen. But that is an act of control, imposing an ideal order from the outside in. According to Suzuki Roshi, there is a different way of zazen: to "give your sheep or cow a large, spacious meadow." This is an inside-out approach, to let zazen emerge out of freedom. How is this possible?
In this workshop we will engage in lecture, somatic exercises and sitting zazen to explore what we can do (or undo) to realize such zazen. In this way, we will:

RA3. Experimental Equipment - A Rotating Target at the RMS
(C. J. Gross for the Decay Spectroscopy group)
Recent software improvements to our digital data acquisition system has enabled us to use unique trigger requirements [1] in order to search for fast sequential decay events at the recoil mass spectrometer (RMS). These techniques have led to our discovery of superallowed alpha decay [2] in the 109Xe-105Te-101Sn decay chain. This new trigger requirement allows us to suppress uninteresting events while pursuing short (< 1 μs) half-life radioactivities. The suppression is so large, that we could increase our implantation rate by a factor of 3-5 and still maintain our detection capability and data throughput. Thus, we have recently developed a rotating target for use at the RMS.
Figure RA3-1: (left) The rotating target mounted in the target chamber of the RMS. A U. S. penny is shown for scale. (right) A 58Ni target that was irradiated with 30+ pnA of 58Ni. The photographs may be viewed separately by clcking on them.
Our design is unusual in that we have opted for a system completely enclosed in the vacuum chamber thereby eliminating mechanical (or magnetic fluid) feedthrough devices. After several iterations of motors (stepper motor, DC motors with various gear ratios) we have settled on a 24 VDC motor [3] with a gear ratio of 3.7:1. Although motors rated for vacuum use (low-vapor pressure lubricant) have been used, we have also tested non-vacuum-rated motors and both appear to work in the vacuum for several days. We selected DC motors due to their simplicity to control (a bench-top power supply is all that is needed) and their lack of producing excess heat (the stepper motor required copper cooling fins to radiate heat in order to stay below 50° C). There does not appear to be a similar build up of heat with the DC motors.
In addition, we do not use a wheel with multiple targets but rather a single target of roughly 14 mm diameter. The target moves in a 7-mm-diameter circle allowing plenty of space for our approximately 2-mm-diameter beam to avoid striking the frame and scattering primary beam into our detectors. Our system consists of:
|Motor Revolutions (RPM)
|Target Revolutions (RPM)
|Target Velocity (mm/s)
1Calculated based on measured rotations.
2Measured with a strobe light.
At 12 V, we have demonstrated that we can run 3-5 times as much beam as with a stationary 300 μm/cm2 Ni or Fe target which corresponds to 50 pnA of Ni or Fe beams [4]. Under these conditions we are able to sustain a rate of approximately 5000 implants/s on a 40-strip-by-40-strip double-sided silicon strip detector.
The longevity of the motors has shown variablity which has led us to use the smallest gear ratios so that the motor does not turn at maximum rate. For example, two motors running full out at 7000 RPM and 14.1:1 gear ratio survived for less than 48 hours. However, a similar motor, operating at 3000-4000 RPM and 3.7:1 gear ratio, survived more than 200 hours. The target speed was the same in both tests. At less than 300 USD per motor-planetary-gear-head assembly, our goal of using only 1 motor per 5-day experiment appears to have been satisfied.

By Claudia Pinto, The Tennessean
Like walking barefoot and catching fireflies, there are few summer pleasures as joyous as cooling off in a secluded swimming hole.
"When it's oppressively hot and you jump in, nothing feels better," said Tim Armstrong, 30, of Nashville. "The water is just cold enough to make you shiver a little."
Armstrong, a Nashville native, grew up frequenting area swimming holes. His brother introduced him to some when he was in middle school, and he discovered others while hiking with friends. But for outsiders, these hidden holes can be tricky to find. And people who know about a good one aren't always excited about sharing the secret. Seclusion is part of the allure, after all.
Fortunately, Tom Hillegass - known as the swami of swimming holes - has spent 15 years searching out pristine rivers, creeks, and springs where it's deep enough to swim. Hillegass has posted information about hundreds of these natural pools - about 30 of which are in Tennessee - on his website, www.swimmingholes.org.
"To me, it's the surroundings that make swimming holes so special. You have rocks, trees, waterfalls," said Hillegass, who lives in Alexandria, Va. "You are in the embrace of nature."
Ready to take the plunge? We've got the locations of five worthwhile swimming holes within a 90-minute drive from Nashville.
Narrows of the Harpeth
Distance: 35 minutes from Nashville
Town: Near Griffintown
Directions: From Nashville, take I-40 west toward Memphis (6.5 miles). Take Exit 201 to US-70 and head west (13.7 miles). Turn right at Cedar Hill Road (2.8 miles). Take a slight left at Narrows of the Harpeth (0.2 miles). Take the first left to stay on Narrows of the Harpeth Road (0.1 miles).
Site: There are several swimming spots where it's deep enough to swim. This section of the Harpeth River is also a popular canoeing spot.
Goochie Ford
Distance:1 hour from Nashville
Town: Readyville
Directions: From Nashville, take I-24 eastbound via exit 213A toward Chattanooga (30.1 miles). Merge onto South Church Street via Exit 81B toward Murfreesboro (0.8 miles). Turn right onto South Rutherford Boulevard (3.8 miles). Turn right onto Mercury Boulevard (8.6 miles). Turn left onto Old Woodbury Pike (1.9 miles). Turn left onto Bivens Hill Road (0.7 miles). Turn right onto Goochie Ford Road.
Site: The swimming hole can be found on the east fork of the Stones River. There's also a rope swing here - fun for making a splashdown!
Stillhouse Hollow Falls
Distance: 1 hour, 10 minutes from Nashville
Town: Near Mt. Pleasant
Directions: From Nashville, take I-65 southbound toward Knoxville/Huntsville (30.2 miles). Take Exit 53 toward Columbia/Spring Hill (4.4 miles). Exit onto TN-6 southbound toward Columbia (8.9 miles). Turn right at TN-6 South (21.3 miles).
Site: The swimming hole is below the waterfalls.
Cummins Falls
Distance: 1 hour, 30 minutes from Nashville
Town: near Cookeville
Directions: From Nashville, take I-40 East to TN-56 northbound, exit 280 (66.9 miles). Turn left at TN-56 North (7.7 miles). Turn right at TN-290 eastbound (0.9 miles). Turn left at Cummins Mill Road (1.8 miles). Turn left to stay on Cummins Mill Road (0.2 miles).
Site: The swimming hole is at the bottom of the falls. The trail is on a steep incline and is not child-friendly. There are several camping areas nearby.
Note: The Tennessee Parks & Greenways Foundation is in the process of purchasing Cummins Falls, but for now the swimming hole is on private property. (After the purchase is complete, the agency plans to pass the land to the appropriate state agency to manage it as public parkland.) It's widely popular and has been featured in national publications, including Travel and Leisure magazine - but do know if you go that you are swimming at your own risk.
Metal Ford
Town: near Hohenwald
Directions: From Nashville, take I-65 toward Knoxville/Huntsville (30.2 miles). Take Exit 53 onto TN-396 West toward Columbia/Spring Hill (4.4 miles). Exit onto TN-6 southbound toward Columbia (10.7 miles). Turn right at West Seventh Street (1.7 miles). Continue onto TN-99 westbound (16.4 miles). Turn right at TN-99 westbound (6.6 miles). Turn left toward Natchez Trace Parkway and continue to mile marker 382.
Site: You'll find a rope swing, picnic tables, grills and restrooms. Fall Hollow waterfall is nearby, at mile marker 391. Meriwether Lewis Campground is at mile marker 385.

|The Fan makes use of a great many terrific Manhattan locations. Here, the famed Shubert Theater serves as the site of Sally Ross's opening night in Never Say Never, the fictional musical that provides so much of The Fan's camptastic eye candy
Celebrity and fan obsession is a compellingly intriguing topic for a thriller. The whole codependent, love/hate, need/resent, fear/envy aspect of the "relationship" between the famous and the adoring public (a relationship which, by design, is doomed forever to be one-sided…the fan feels an intimate kinship with someone who doesn't know they exist) is ripe fodder for film treatment. It has always fascinated me how quickly fawning fandom can change to bilious hate if the fan's adoration is even only marginally rebuffed.
I'm reminded of a scene in Martin Scorsese's The King of Comedy (a marvelously dark black comedy about fan obsession that would make a great double-bill with The Fan) in which talk-show host Jerry Lewis is walking down the street and, when asked by a fan at a public phone to say a few words to her friend on the line, politely demurs, claiming that he's running late. At this point the seconds-ago adoring fan lets loose with, "You should only get cancer! I hope you get cancer!"

Nothing angers a worshipper of celebrity more than listening to the famous gripe about how much they hate all the attention that comes with celebrity

That's Kurt Johnson providing literal backup to Lauren Bacall as she sings, " A Remarkable Woman", one of two Marvin Hamlisch/Tim Rice compositions introduced in the film
|All The Boys Love Sally
Broadway dancer Justin Ross (l.) appeared in the film version of A Chorus Line, and dancer Reed Jones (r.) originated the role of Skimbleshanks in the original Broadway production of Cats
|The charmingly lived-in romance of James Garner and Lauren Bacall is a welcome change from the usual blank-faced couplings of callow youths typically found in slasher films
|More Like Hot Flash, Baby, Tonight
I saw The Fan on opening night at Mann's Chinese Theater in L.A., and I swear, an entire audience did a collective spit-take when Ms. Bacall launched into this hilariously inappropriate disco-ditty.

From Tristate-Media
ATLANTA – Do we need term limits? Would you be surprised to know the average length of time a U.S. senator serves is 12.9 years? Or the average term served by a U.S. representative is 11 years? But too many of them seem to have been there forever. Those numbers are averages from the Congressional Research Service at the Library Of Congress.
The entire House is running for re-election this Fall and one-third of the Senate. Some people say their senators or congressmen are all right. "Good old what's-his-name is OK." All the others are political hacks.
Once upon a time, term limits didn't seem necessary to your writer. Elections were enough to ensure a little sanity might prevail in the ensuing two years, but I came to see this as a flawed premise.
I'm still of the opinion the framers of our government were smart enough to account for many things in future centuries. What they could not know was the extent to which powerful interests and the money they wield can sway lawmakers. Efforts to stanch the growth of the special interests seem to go nowhere.
We need term limits. The President can serve only two terms, as set out in the 22nd Amendment. Some governors are limited to two terms. Why not limit U.S. senators to two terms, or 12 years, and congressmen to six terms, or 12 years? That's enough time to show up for work on purpose, get the job done and move on to something else, probably as a lobbyist.
Politics used to be an amateur sport, of sorts, but somewhere along the way we handed this over to the professionals who know the blush that comes with election and the power it brings. Some early members of Congress were wealthy enough that they could serve for a period. Ego was part of propelling the ambitious to run, but terms were served then members went home.
The founding fathers were prescient when crafting the final form of the Constitution with all members of the House running for re-election every two years. Later, the 17th Amendment to the Constitution meant direct election of senators rather than election by state legislatures. There would thus be a holdover of two-thirds of the senators every two years.
Fast forward to the present.
Just like the TV news business with its crop of consultants, the political consultants seem to do the only important advising and consenting to which the elected servant listens. The senate gives advice and consents to some presidential actions. Senate and House staff members do much more behind the scenes than we'd believe, but we hear about almost none of that.
The Center for Responsive Politics says the 2008 campaigns cost $5.3 billion, with $8.5 million having been spent to win the senate seat in Minnesota. Norm Coleman spent $20 million contesting the election count and lost anyway. The average senate candidate had to raise $3,881/day for each day of the six-year term.
Raising that money means there are a lot of promises to be made. Compromise can be hard and is sometimes impossible. A newcomer to, say, the Senate, has to make a lot of bargains before he or she even gets to Washington. Then, it's payback time and taxpayers wind up doing the paying while "Good old what's-his-name" stays in office.
Stay tuned.

North Africa: Gender and SSR
DCAF opened its office in Tunisia in 2011. At the request of various Tunisian counterparts DCAF engaged in a series of activities to strengthen the integration of gender into security sector reform (SSR) processes in the country.
The overall goal of the work is to support the development of security and justice providers that promote equal participation of women and men in the service, and effectively address and respond to the security needs of the entire population.
As a first step, DCAF and local partner the Arab Institute of Human Rights are conducting a gender and SSR mapping and needs assessment. The mapping and assessment, which seeks to provide a baseline study of the current status of gender mainstreaming in security sector institutions and SSR processes in Tunisia, has five key objectives:
- To ascertain the current state of gender mainstreaming in security sector institutions.
- To raise awareness of the importance of adopting a gender sensitive approach to SSR processes and initiatives in Tunisia.
- To ensure stakeholder support and high-level political buy-in for future activities on gender and SSR.
- To strengthen the capacity of civil society organisations, especially women's organisations, to engage actively with government agencies and other actors leading the SSR process.
- To support security sector institutions in developing and strengthening their capacity to effectively integrate a gender perspective into policies and practices.
In addition, DCAF is closely following current initiatives on gender and SSR in other North African countries.

sickly smell not true fig
I have had other Orla Kiely scented things such as the lovely geranium soap and they are great but this fig diffuser has a horrible sent. It doesn't smell like fig and is quite a sickly smell.

Whenever I see an athlete do as well as Jimmy Smith did in last Sunday's Super Bowl, it reminds me of the story of Gene Tenace.
Tenace was a catcher/first baseman trying to break into the lineup of a very young and talented Oakland A's baseball team in 1972. He got some chances to play but never hit more than seven homers during parts of his first four seasons. But the A's put him into the lineup in the 1972 World Series, and Tenace hit four homers in seven games against the Reds to help Oakland win in seven games.
Tenace's career took off after that. He became a regular who hit between 15 and 29 homers for each of the next eight years. What Smith did last week against the 49ers in the Super Bowl is the kind of thing that could give his career the same kind of jolt.
He made two huge plays in the team's final defensive series. The Ravens were clinging to a five-point lead, and the 49ers had third-and-goal from the Baltimore 7-yard line. Michael Crabtree tried to catch a short pass from Colin Kaepernick, but Smith raced up and helped jar the ball loose.
Then, on fourth down, he used his arms to tie up Crabtree -- the 49ers and their staff are still saying it should have been holding, and it was close -- and the ball fell incomplete. That gave the Ravens the ball back.
The Ravens expected a lot from Smith when they drafted him two years ago, and they haven't quite gotten it. He missed part of 2011 with injuries but played much better when returning.
A sports hernia slowed him this year, as Smith needed surgery that kept him out for about a month. He struggled upon his return in mid-December, and lost some playing time. But he came through in a big way in the Super Bowl.
Can those two plays be the force that makes Smith's career take off? It will be interesting to see what happens.

WINDIOW VENTILATOR Filed Jan. 29. 1931 2 sheets-sheet 2 Patented May 15, 1934 WINDOW VENTILATOR Ernst C. Claus, Chicago, Ill.
Application January 29, 1931, Serial No. 512,006
14 Claims.
The present invention relates to a window ventilator which is to be applied to the inner side of a window, and which is readily removable for the purposes of cleaning, repairing, etc. One object of this invention is to provide a window ventilator which is neat and compact when not in use, and which may be quickly detached from a window casing and stored in a very small space when not in use. In order to carry out this invention, I provide a roller upon which the screen is mounted and mount this roller within a casing. The roller is adapted to have the screen wound thereupon and substantially completely retracts the screen within the casing.
Another object of this invention is to provide a fabric screen member which is normally adapted to be wound upon a roller when not in use and provide means whereby the fabric screen may be detached from said roller for the purpose of cleaning the same. This is possible even when the roller is mounted in a casing, and the means which I provide is very simple and rugged.
I also provide means whereby a metal member is releasably secured to the free end of the spring,
this metal member being for the purpose of dis,
tributing the pull equally over all portions of the screen when the screen is pulled in a direction to unwind the same from a roller which in the present instance is provided with springs for rotating the same in a given direction.
A still further object of this invention resides in the provision of novel means for securing the various parts of the casing together, without the necessity of using a great number of fastening means for this purpose, and without the necessity of welding or otherwise permanently securing the parts to each other, it being an object of this invention to provide a simple forni of casing which is neat in appearance and at the same time readily disassembled for repairing or replacing various parts of the casing which are within the casing.
Other objects of this invention will appear hereinafter as the description thereof proceeds,
the novel features and combinations being clearly set forth in the appended claims.
In the drawings- Fig. 1 represents an elevational view of a window viewed from the inside with a ventilator made according to my invention applied thereto;
Fig. 2 is a cross-section of my invention taken substantially along the line 2 2 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is an isometric view of my invention with the screen thereof retracted within the casing;
Fig. 4 is a view of a metal plate adapted to be secured to one of the jambs of the window for the purpose of engaging within an opening in a metal strip on the free end of the flexible screen which acts as the Ventilating means;
Fig. 5 is a cross-section of my invention taken substantially along the line 5-5 of Fig. 2, with parts thereof in a different position of adjustment and showing the manner in which the screen may be detached from the roller;
Figs. 6, 7 and 8 show the various parts which go to make up the reinforcing means for the free end of the flexible screen member;
Fig. 9 is a detailed view illustrating theV end construction for the casing; and
Fig. 10 shows the manner in which the screen member is maintained taut.
In Fig. 1 I have shown a window of ordinary construction which comprises the stool 1, apron 2, iambs 3, vstops 4 and sash 5 having the pane 6. The sash is shown raised for the purpose of permitting the entrance of fresh air or the exit of foul air. However, it has been found that by merely raising the window, a great many times the wind is so strong that while plenty of air is received within the room, the strength of the Wind blows the curtains around and also blows in a considerable amount of dust and dirt and other foreign matter. I therefore desire to provide a screen member which will more or less close this opening and prevent the wind from blowing dust and dirt particles into the room while at the same time permitting a moderate circulation of the air.
Such a Ventilating means should ordinarily be made washable as the dust and dirt accumulate on the screen Vand the contact of the curtains with the screen causes the curtains to become dirty sooner than might otherwise be expected, to say nothing of the unsightly appearance which is presented by a dirty screen or ventilator. In order to permit the screen to be properly washed, it is very desirable that it be entirely disconnected from its mounting. Furthermore the screen should be releasably mounted in such a manner that an inexperienced person may readily disconnect the screen for the purpose of washing the same. In the described embodiment of my invention, I have illustrated a fiexible fabric screen member, which, when detached from its mounting, may be put in with the family wash if desired, and laundered quickly and easily, thereby enabling the housewife to have a screen which always has a presentable appearance.
Referring now particularly to Figs. 1 to 4 inclusive, it will be seen that the stop 4 at the left has two screws o r like headed elements 7 fastened thereto, and the opposite stop has a metal plate 8 secured thereto by means of the screws 9 which pass through suitable openings 10 therein. This plate has an angular extension 11 having a re- Versely bent hooked portion 12 for a purpose which will appear later.
The screws 7 are adapted to hold the casing for the screen. This casing is best illustrated perhaps in Figs. 2, 3, 5 and 9. The side walls of the casing are formed of a single piece of metal 13 bent to the shape shown best in Fig. 2. The opposite ends of the metal portion 13 have the reversely bent portions 14 and 15 so as to present smooth surfaces to the fabric screen member and for reasons whichl will appear later. The reversely bent portion 14 also serves another purpose which will appear presently.
In Fig. 9 I have shown in isometric the construction of the end pieces for the casing and construction of the ends of the side walls which are adapted to be secured to the end portions of the casing. The end edges of the side wall are notched at 16 and 17 andthe end edge portion of the reversely bent portion 14 shown at 18 is arranged in substantially the same plane as the bottom of the recesses 16 and 17. The depths of the recesses 16 and 17 are substantially equal to twice the thickness of the metal employed for the end walls of the housing.
The ends of the casing are formed by two members which I shall refer to as the inner and outer walls. The inner wall is indicated by the reference numeral 19, and the outer wall by the reference numeral 20. Both the inner and outer walls are provided with concentric depressions 21 thereby forming bosses on the inside as is best' illustrated in Fig. 5. In the center of these bosses, I provide the openings 22 which are at at opposite sides for a purpose which will appear presently. The inner wall 19 has the portions 23 and 24 doubled back upon the body portion of the end wall, and also has the flanges 25 and 26 thereof extending at substantially right angles fromthe-body portion of' the wall. The outer wall 20 is provided with a substantially continuous flange 27 which is unbroken except between the endportions of the flange indicated by the reference numeral 28 in Fig. 9.
In assembling the end wall, I place the inner wall in such a relation with the body portion of the casing formed by the member 13, that the iiange 25 lies inside of the member 13 and the flange 26 isV also arranged within the member 13 with a portion ofthe flange 26 lying between the reversely bent portion 14 and the adjacent portion of the member 13. ward flexing of this end of the member 13, as well as the inward flexing of the same.
1 I then place the outer wall 20 over the inner wall with the flange 27 embracing the outside surfaces of the member 13. The inner dimensions of the flange 27 are such as to force the edges of the member 13 into engagement with theflanges 25 and 26 on the inner wall 19 to thereby firmly grip the edges of the member 13 between the flanges 27 and the flanges 25 and 26. This gripping eifect is sufficient to prevent normal separation of the end walls from the member 13; The reversely bent portions 23 and 24 and the reversely bent portions 14 and 15 form the edges of the opening through which the fabric screen passes into the casing as is bestvillust'rated in Fig. 2.
Within the casing I mount a roller 29 through which passes a rod 30. This rod 30 has the This prevents the out opposite ends thereof threaded at 31, and these threaded portions are flattened on opposite sides so as to fit within the openings 22 with the fiat sides of the threaded portion 31 and the flat sides of the openings 22 in engagement with each other to prevent the rod 30 from turning. A spring 32 has one end 33 thereof passing through the rod 30 and has the other end 34 thereof passing through an opening in the end wall 35 of the roller 29. The cylindrical portion of the roller has the ends thereof surrounding the bosses 21 on the inner end walls as is best illustrated in Fig. 5, thereby preventing the screen from getting between the ends of the rollers and the end walls of the casing and insures that the fabric screen will roll upon the roller rather than get between the ends of the roller and the casing.
To the outer surface of the cylindrical roller 29, I secure a pair of flexible members 36, these members having the ends 37 secured to the roller between opposite over-lapping end portions of the cylindrical piece of metal which forms the roller 29 as is best illustrated in Fig. 2, the parts being held in this position by riveting, soldering, or the like.
The free ends of the members 36 are provided with T-heads 38 and openings 39. The members 36 are drawn out of the casing, and nails 40 or similar members inserted in each of the openings 39, which nails straddle the edges of the opening through which the screen extends. This holds the T-heads 38 outside of the casing.
The screen itself is formed of fabric in the form of a net so that the air may circulate therethrough. This net is indicated by the reference numeral 41, and the upper and lower edges thereof are reinforced by the binding strips 42, which are stitched to the net 41. At one end of the net I provide a hem 43 formed by doubling back the net and the binding strips and sewing the same'by the line of stitching indicated by the reference numeral 44 in Fig. 5. I next slit the hem transversely as at 45, and
at distances along the hem corresponding tol the distance between the centers of the members 36. The heads 38 of the members 36 are rst inserted in the slits and then into the portions of the hem on opposite sides of the slits as is clearly indicated in Fig. 5. This forms a releasable connection for connecting the screen with the members 36.
The opposite end of the screen is also formed with a hem 46 into which I insert the tapered wooden rod 47 with the smallest portion of the taper pointing toward the opposite end of the screen. I next take a metal member 48 which is substantially U-shaped in cross-section and which has the opposite walls thereof inclined toward each other to correspond to the taper on ther wooden rod 47. I place the rod 43 over the outside of the hem 46 by sliding the same over the hem in a direction longitudinally thereof or from top to bottom, or from bottom to top in Fig. 6. The metal member 48 is sufficiently Vstrong so that the opposite free ends thereof will not spread when a pull is exerted on the member 48 to the right as viewed in Fig. 1 or Fig. 2. At least they are not permitted to spread sufliciently to pass over the wooden rod 47 which is arranged within the hem. It will be seen that with this construction the metal member 48 and rod 47 may be quickly detached from the screen thereby permitting the screen to be washed when desired. Y
As is clearly illustrated in Fig. 2, the member 48 is provided with an opening 49 which is adapted to receive the reversely bent hooked portion 12 on the metal strip 9 so as to prevent movement of the member 48 to the left. The member 48 is also provided with a slot 50 which is adapted to receive one end of the handle 51. This end of the handle 51 and the oppositely projecting portions 52 form a T-head on the handle 5l Within the space enclosed by the meniber 48 and this prevents the movement of the handle out of the slot when a pull is exerted thereon. This form of connection permits the handle 5l to pivot a limited amount to better enable one to exert a pull on the member 48. On the other hand, the handle may be collapsed into the dotted line position shown for that handle at the left in Fig. 2 when the handle is not being used for pulling the screen out of the casing.
The casing is provided with slots 53 which are enlarged at the opposite ends for the purpose of receiving the heads of the screws or like headed members '7. For instance when it is desired to attach the casing to the stop 4, the heads of the screws '7 are inserted in the lovvermost enlarged portions of the slots shown in Fig. 3 and the casing is then moved downwardly to position the Shanks of the screws Within the narrovi.7 portions of the slot, the heads of the screws abutting against the inner surface of the casing and being too large to pass through the reduced portions of the slots 53. The screws are placed at a height such that the shanks Will be within the narrow portions of the slots when the bottom of the casing rests on the stool 1. The slots are enlarged at both ends to enable the casing to be attached to either the right or left hand jamb. To support the casing on the right hand jamb in Fig. 1, the casing is turned end for end and the part 8 is attached to the left hand jamb.
The operation of my device is as follows: After the casing is positioned in the manner described in the previous paragraph, the handle 51 is grasped and moved toward the right, thereby unrolling the screen from the roller 29 against the action of the spring 32. The hook 12 is arranged Within the opening 49 to hold the metal member 48 in position and to prevent retraction of the screen Within the casing. It will be noted that I provide but a single hook 12 thereby permitting the member 48 to rock slightly about the hook 12 as a pivot so that in the event that either the upper or lower edge oi' the screen is slightly longer than the other, both edges of the screen will be held equally taut as is best illustrated in Fig. 10. When the screen is retracted within the casing, the metal member 48 fits within the recess between the opposite ends of the member 13, this recess being shaped substantially the same as the member 48 so that the out-er surface of the member 48 will lie substantially flush with the outer surface of the casing as is illustrated in Fig. 2 by dotted lines.
When it is desired to clean the screen, the same may be detached from the members 36 and the members 48 and 4'7 may be removed from the hem 45 thereby leaving the fabric screen entirely unencumbered by anything but fabric parts. After Washing the screen may be quickly replaced.
By supporting only the upper and lower edges of the screen, the same will roll and unroll on the roller 29 much easier than the same would if secured to the roller or along the length thereof. Furthermore, the entire strain is placed on the upper and lower reinforced edges 42, and the net portion 41 does not have to stand any of the strain exerted on the screen by the spring 32.
As will be noted in Fig. 2, the portions 14 and 15 which are turned back against the adjacent portions of the member 13 are formed this manner so as to present smooth edges against which the screen travels when moving into and out of the casing. I
It will be noted also that the end portion 54 of the member 13 extends freely into the casing and acts as a resilient means for moving the screen toward the wall or" the casing which lies closest to the sash, thereby insuring that the screen will be held in close proximity to the sash when the same is in extended position outside of the casing.
Other changes and modifications may be made in my invention Without departing from the spirit thereof, and therefore I do not wish to limit my invention except as set forth in the appended claims.

Fall Out Boy
"Fall Out Boy formed out of boredom in a suburban Chicago basement in 2001. It was hardcore kids vacationing from mosh riffs, looking to emulate the honesty and independence of bands like Lifetime and The Descendents. Little did they know their boredom would turn into a worldwide success."
Take This to Your Grave is Fall Out Boy's debut, full-length CD. Drawing influences from a healthy wealth of rock, pop, and hardcore, Fall Out Boy has constructed a distinctive sound of unforgettable melodies, clever lyrics, and multifaceted guitar hooks.

The West Irondequoit All Sports Booster Club had about two months to come up with as much money as it could to save the modified sports program. Thursday evening, students and parents got an update and a reason to celebrate.
West Irondequoit Athletic Director Anthony Lipani is cautiously optimistic the school district will have the $48,000 it needs on Tuesday to run 17 modified sports teams.
On Thursday, parents and students learned there's $31,000 in the bank with about $13,000 more to deposit and commitments for well over the $48,000 needed.
Some students are already celebrating.
"I think that I'm pretty excited they're going to have soccer," said Sierra Cartagena.
Lilly Hebblethwaite said, "Actually, we play travel soccer so we were hoping to play modified too."
While it's not a done deal until all the money is in the bank and the school board signs off, this is the best news some families have received since learning the district's austerity budget would cancel many extracurricular activities like modified sports, art and music.
"The great wish is for it all to be restored. If that happens – great. If not, it's better than the contingency," said parent Doug Buckley.
A full modified program would cost the district $95,000 and offer 29 teams. The $48,000 will bring back football, soccer, tennis, volleyball, lacrosse, basketball, skiing and wrestling.
Despite the good news, some families left tonight's meeting disappointed.
Parent Gino Riechel said of his son, "He just spoke with the coach and the way they have their trainings, he won't start workouts until November after Thanksgiving which would go for next year. So he pretty much can't play what he wanted to this year."
Thanks to the aggressive fundraising effort by the West Irondequoit All Sports Booster Club, a lot more kids will get to take part in sports this school year.
IASB president Jim Brennan said, "I think we're going to make it. I think we'll have a lot of happy kids on Tuesday."
All of the money has to be in the bank by Tuesday. Lipani says he's hoping for a miracle that all $95,000 will be there.

If you hear stories about surfing Portugal you normally hear about the amazing surf that the half island Peniche offers. Most likely you will hear about the outstanding reefs that are found around Ericeira, too. But have you ever heard about Figueira da Foz and the quality waves around there? Not? Well, then you should read what we've found there..
Figueira da Foz looks a bit like a summer weekend destination for the olderly beach goers of Portugal. Not only the Casino close to the beach, but all the small apartments and holiday houses support this impression. Besides this huge holiday flair, there is (unfortunately – considering the influence on the water pollution) quite a big harbour and some minor industry as well in Figueira de Foz.
But most importantly, there are two fairly good waves to be found:
Buarcos – High quality point break close to the main beach of Figueira da Foz
This long (up to several 100 metres!) high quality right point break is mostly more of a carving wave, but there are some steep tubular sections. Actually, there are at least 3 point breaks that can connect with the right swell and form a really long wave. Unfortunately it needs a bit of smell to work (around 3ft should be enough, tough) but it can handle double overhead. It has never been crowded during the time we've been there. The strong currents that come with the bigger swells are the biggest hazzle. Close to the upper end of the wave is a freecamp spot, not too nice, tough. No beach facilities close by and quite a lot of rubbish lying around. You are better of freecamping in front of the other quality wave in the region, Cabedelo.
Cabedelo – jetty formed right and quality beachbreak just on the other side of the port of Figueira da Foz
The two waves here, a swell magnet beachbreak and an ex WCT contest site jetty formed hollow right are often having offshore winds. The jetty generates fast hollow waves, the beachbreak too, but not as consistent. Just in front of the jetty is a small parking lot which is perfectly for freecamping. It has a shower, the surf-bar / cafe close by and Wifi at the camping restaurant / shop and it only takes around 10 minutes to get to Buarcos from Cabedelo.
Other facts about Figueira da Foz
The Foz Center is woth mentioning, too. It is on the road when driving from Cabedelo to Buarcos. It has free wifi, a big Jumbo center that has everything you might need in stock and in the food court is surprising good food to find. Pizza for only 4€ or some healthy food for around the same price. It is not beautiful in there, but it can be quite handy.
Anyway, it takes 2 hours from Figuera da Foz to Peniche with the car and really is worth the drive. On the way from / to Peniche are some nice smaller beaches / coves to discover that might offer good surf on smaller swells. Or if you are into big wave surfing, there always is Nazaré, where in 2011 the (up to this date) biggest wave ever was surfed (almost 90 feet). I wish it would work somewhen when we are around. I've never had the chance to watch tow-in big wave surfing live.
Next stop are the famous waves Lagide, Molhos Leste as well as others in the Peniche / Baleal region.

Solar powered lights for home security
When it comes to home security, you really don't want to compromise on anything. Be it night lights or floodlights for the huge backyard. But the price factor does take a toll here because these lights can cost you a bomb. High electricity bills along with poor eco-friendly impacts do make you seek alternative solutions.
The Sunforce products solar motion lights offer you with dual benefits of being green and low on electricity bills. But the best part is that these lights are ideal for detecting intruders and thus enhance home security too. As the name suggests, these lights operate on solar energy instead of consuming electricity. So you can be assured that your bills would only get smaller.
The Sunforce solar powered motion light also has models that come with a security camera. It has a motion-activated 16-LED security light that works in tandem with an integrated camera. All of this is done via solar energy. It provides images up to 2.0MP and video images of 640 x 480. Any kind of motion activates night light and records video, along with time and date.
The camera uses standard household AC power, while the light works on solar energy. It supports up to a 32GB TF memory card and also features a storage disc and USB cable. The illumination range of almost 50 feet is a great way to keep intruders at bay.
Another security measure, which is easier on the pocket, is solar powered two head flood lights. Unlike regular floodlights, these don't burn a hole in your pocket. Rather, these solar operated lights are much easier to maintain and operate, as compared to regular ones.
Not only are these lights the wave of the future, they are very effective, durable and affordable too! Completely adjustable, with weather resistance, they can be set up on the roof, in the backyard or anywhere outdoors to brighten up your garden, driveway or backyard.

Bermúdez was the founder and for ten years the the top official military commander of the Fuerza Democrática Nicaragüense (FDN-Northern Front), also known as the contras. In that capacity he met with US president Ronald Reagan and other top officials, as did more overtly political leaders, including Alfonso Robelo, Adolfo Calero, and Arturo Cruz. The contras' target was the Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional (FSLN), or Sandinista, government.
Bermúdez graduated from the US Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth and from the Inter-American Defense College in Washington. He served as chief of the Nicaraguan Delegation at the Inter-American Defense Board in Washington, DC, in 1976 and as military attaché of the Nicaraguan Armed Forces at the Nicaraguan Embassy in Washington during the country's civil war, which formally ended in 1987 with the Esquipulas II Peace Agreement, brokered by Costa Rican president Oscar Arias. In 1991 Bermúdez was lured back to Managua, where he was shot in a hotel parking lot with a small-caliber East German assassination pistol, one of several that had been delivered to Sandinista defense minister Humberto Ortega some years earlier.
