1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a container with mixing cartridge, and more particularly, to a container for segregating ingredients in two or more chambers until such time as mixing is desired.
2. Description of the Prior Act
A wide variety of compositions have been marketed in packages keeping two components separated until mixed or used. Dual container systems for mixing two-part medicinal, cosmetic, beverage and household products have been provided. In some of these devices a frangible wall separates the two fluid-containing chambers and no control of the amount of one component to be mixed into the other is feasible. Other arrangements include rupturable separating walls or membranes and are prone to premature rupturing, leakage chambers, and incomplete mixing within the container prior to delivery. Exemplary of the recent devices having a frangible wall are those taught by Morane et al in U.S. Pat. No. 3,802,604 and by Lanfranconi et al In U.S. Pat. No. 3,840,136. These devices have coaxial chambers with trocars fitting telescopically within the smaller chambers and being operative by movement along the common axis.
With the foregoing in mind it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a novel multicompartmented container which will provide a leakproof inner container within a hermetically sealed overall unit and additionally provision for mixing the contents of the containers which cannot be accidentally operated.
Essentially in accordance with the present invention a container for storing separate components is provided which includes a sealed cartridge for holding a substance for release into a larger vessel. The sealed cartridge depends asymmetrically from a gasket which lies in the mouth of the vessel and with an undercap coacting therewith seals the mouth of the vessel. A piercing member is eccentrically connected to the undercap and during storage extends through an aperture in the gasket.
A further object of this invention is to provide a novelty component package which is simple and economical to assemble.
Further object of this invention is to provide a novel device wherein complete mixing of the components is facilitated.
In keeping with the further object of this invention the cartridge is provided with an arcuate wall which serves to center the gasket upon placement in the neck of the larger container.
The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description and claims, and from the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a top view of a container of the present invention for storing separate components and showing the container with the spout removed;
FIG. 2 is a side view of an asymmetrically shaped sealed cartridge of this invention;
FIG. 3 is a side view which is partially broken away showing a vessel of this invention for receiving the cartridge of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the relationship of cap, pouring spout, sealed cartridge and pouring spout of this invention;
FIG. 5 is a partial cross-sectional view of the container of this invention storing two separate components in readiness for mixing;
FIG. 6 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the mixing operation of the components shown in FIG. 5; and
FIG. 7 is a side view similar to FIG. 4, but showing an alternate embodiment of the piercing unit.
Referring now to FIGS. 1 through 5, it will be seen that reference designator 10 indicates generally a container or vessel defining therein a chamber 12 and having an upper opening or mouth 14. Vessel 10 may be of glass or plastic fabrication and fashioned with an externally threaded neck 16 for accepting a cap and/or pouring spout. To the mouth 14, a sealed cartridge 18 is asymmetrically fitted by means of a gasket 20. The gasket has an opening 22 therethrough for accommodating a piercing unit. A pouring spout 24 is to extend from structured gasket 20 and is mated to the neck 16. The pouring spout of this embodiment is arranged coaxially with vessel 10 and is mounted upon an undercap 26 in which a piercing unit 28 is eccentrically attached so that during the storage mode of the container the piercing unit is aligned with previously described opening 22. The undercap 26 is independently secured to the container by threaded cap 30, the threads 32 of which mate with those of threaded neck 16. The undercap is structured so that upon removal of the cap 30, the undercap may be removed and rotated thereby altering the alignment of piercing unit 28. A further structural feature of the undercap is that together with gasket 20 and pouring spout 24 and by the securement of cap 30, the chamber 12 is provided with an airtight seal. The pouring spout 24 is equipped with removable tip 34 to permit outflow of mixed product.
The piercing unit 28 is basically a hollow member or cylinder 36 being attached at the upper end 38 thereof to undercap 26. At the opposite end the cylinder is a cutter 40. Medial the ends an opening 42 is provided for passage means between cartridge 18 and chamber 12.
The cell or cartridge 18 is described in the following paragraph with, unless otherwise stated, the longitudinal axis of the vessel 10 vertically disposed. With this orientation and with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the cartridge is seen as an irregularly shaped container that has sidewalls 44 and 46 depending downwardly from gasket 20 and dimensioned to conform to the curvature of upper opening 14. In the embodiment illustrated, the cartridge is formed in a sealing relationship to gasket 20 (either integrally therewith or using the gasket as a sealing member). Where as illustrated, the wall 46 is formed in an arcuate manner tracing the opening. Upon exceeding the 180° angle, the cartridge serves to provide self-alignment between gasket 20 and neck 16. Wall 46 is further formed by having the lower portion 48 thereof curve inwardly toward the longitudinal axis 50 of vessel 14. Such structure provides for complete drainage of component stored in cartridge 18. The cartridge 18 may be fabricated from a rigid material that shatters or breaks away from the cutter 40 of piercing unit 28. Alternatively a self-sealing material may be employed for the walls 44 and 46 which structure, after removal of the piercing unit, provides for retention of the balance of the component within the cartridge. Other cartridge structures within the scope of this invention would include additional interior wall means (not shown) preferably vertical and proximately radial with respect to the chamber 12. Such wall means would provide separately accessible components in isolated cells.
The above-described components are assembled by depositing a component of the desired mixture typically a fluid 52, within the chamber 12 of vessel 10, placing thereon a gasket 20 with asymmetrical cartridge 18 attached thereto and depending into the chamber, packaging another component 54 of the desired mixture, inserting the undercap 26 and pouring spout 24 with the piercing unit 28 extending from the undercap and through gasket 22, and finally attaching the undercap with cap 30 thereby sealing chamber 12.
Referring now to FIG. 7, another embodiment is shown in which the piercing unit is shown with an affect portion adjacent the cutter. Here the piercing unit 58 is a curved tubular member 66 being attached at the upper end 68 thereof to an undercap 56. At the opposite end 70 the tubular structure is terminated at an acute angle to form a cutter. In the upper portion of member 66, an opening 72 in the wall is provided for passage of component in the cartridge to the larger container. The curved or offset portion of the tubular member 66 is structured to terminate approximately on the longitudinal axis of the container and thereby to deliver the content of the cartridge to the central portion of the vessel. The curved member also provides a structure which is more readily adapted to machine or hand loading of the piercing unit/cartridge assembly into the container.
In operation, mixing of the components is provided by removing cap 30; removing spout 24 and piercing unit 28; rotating the pouring spout and piercing unit until the piercing unit is aligned over the cartridge 18; lowering the piercing unit, while applying manual pressure thereto, and causing the cutter 40 to penetrate the upper surface of the cartridge adjacent to gasket 20 and to continue downwardly to penetrate the lower surface of the cartridge at the lower portion 48 of wall 46. The piercing unit upon penetrating wall 46 provides a passage communicating by way of opening 42 through lower end 40 and into chamber 12. As described above, the geometry of the cartridge provides for complete drainage of the contents 54 so as to provide accurate proportioning between components to be mixed. Upon emptying, cap 30 is secured and mixing instructions (depending upon types of components) are followed. Thereafter, pouring spout tip 34 is removed and the mixture is expelled through spout 24.
While the preferred forms and arrangements have been shown, it is to be clearly understood that various changes in detail and arrangement of parts may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure.

And for thousands of years, people have been coming up with stories about it. In the Middle Ages, for example, people with a certain shade of red hair were considered unmistakably vampires or werewolves, and early Renaissance alchemists believed the blood of a red-haired man was necessary to turn copper into gold (aren't we sorta glad we live in a post-alchemy world?).

SuperSU Pro
- November 26, 2014
( 19,046)
!!! This is a license file for SuperSU. This is NOT a stand-alone app. You need SuperSU already installed. Reboot after installation !!!
- OTA survival mode (no guarantees)
SuperSU Pro adds the following features to your SuperSU installation:
- OTA survival mode (no guarantees)
- Full color-coded command content logging (input/output/error)
- Per-app logging configuration
- Per-app user override
- PIN protection
See the SuperSU app description for further details on SuperSU.
Note that SuperSU Pro is rarely updated - most of the updated code goes directly into the main SuperSU app. That is the one you need to update.
LG G3 screen wake After using a root required app. Wake lock detector shows this app, in the screen usage, using a lot of my battery and to top it off the screen got hotter bc of it. I'm sad I paid for it and got no response from my email. Tried restore reinstall with no luck same issue.
Show some support! Been using this app for so long- now just purchased for support. Chainfire really deserved this sooner....oh, actual review: this app has been nothing but flawless on every device owned (samsung,moto,lg,htc...)
This one is as essential as Android Kernel :-) But my purchase of SU Pro is now lying idle because CF Auto Root is not available on 5.1.1 version of Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. CF, please do something about 5.1.1 Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge.
What happened to root keeper for ota? Bought pro for this but don't see it in the settings anymore. Am I missing something? Will edit to five star if it is still there
Worth every penny! I used the free version for a while when I first installed it. I didn't need the pro functionality and while I like to pay for things I use I didn't really see Super SU as something I actually "used". Yeah, those were a few dark weeks of my life when I was a completely ignorant idiot. In my defence, I quickly came around and bought the pro key. As for the nonexistent waiting period for getting root on the official Android L release and the amount of work that seems to have gone into it; wow. Just wow!
Pure Awesome I probably wouldn't use any of the pro features but I've been learning so much from this developer and XDA that paying for pro is the least I can do to encourage these guys to keep doing what they do for us all. Bravo Chainfire

The best mouse pad in America. John Ryan from Value City, MA on 04/25/2012 – Verified Buyer
Let me start off by saying that this is hands down, unequivocally, the best mouse pad you could possibly buy with your hard-earned United States Dollars. Design-wise The American flag is clean, patriotic, and very sharp-Betsy Ross really knew what she was doing. When you are slaving away at your desk this mouse pad will keep your 'eye on the prize' of achieving the American Dream. What other mouse pad could say that? No other mouse pad if you ask me. Not only does this mouse pad have the coolest design on the face of this here Earth, it also functions with the precision of an American-made F-22 Raptor. It will not slide a single millimeter from where you place it on your desk. Even if you try to move it, it refuses to slide. Form + function ; more American than apple pie! Highly recommend, this mouse pad is worthy of your purchase.

... day. The road through Switzerland was excellent even though the grade was as much as 19% at times. However as soon as we passed the border into Italy the road quality noticeably deteriorated to one and a half lane rough roads with no line markings, but at least there were guard rails. We strangely passed back into Switzerland again this time exhibiting a well maintained yet very narrow winding road with a deep valley ravine through to Locarno. We then entered ...

We didn't get our money back for the canceled night in Gimmelwald, but the bunks we were staying in weren't expensive and it was a great decision in the long run.

Sourdough Stuffing with Balsamic-Roasted Red Onions and Sweet Italian Sausage
Anthony Chittum, Vermilion
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, toss the onions with the vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Spread the coated onions on a sheet pan and roast in the oven until tender, about 15-20 minutes. In a large, oven-safe mixing bowl, toss the diced bread with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the bread in the oven and toast until crispy, about 7 to 8 minutes.
While the bread and onions are cooking, set a large sauté pan over high heat and heat the canola oil until it begins to smoke. Add the sausage and cook while crumbling it up with a spoon. When the sausage is completely cooked, remove it from the pan and drain on a paper towel. Discard half of the grease in the pan and save the rest.

Historical Traveler Reviews Fusion Suites Amsterdam
Great Romantic Getaway
I wanted to book something special for my wife's birthday and based on previous recommendations and reviews on this site, I could not have asked for a better place to stay. This place is a boutique luxury hotel with only four rooms. I called the hotel directly and spoke to Sharmila who was very helpful in making the booking. I booked the classic suite, however Sharmila and Alex kindly upgraded us to a larger suite without even us having to ask for it, which was truly nice of them. I had also asked for a bunch of roses and champagne to be arranged and this was done, complimentary from Sharmila & Alex, excellent touch. I did explain to Sharmila that we had an early morning flight and if it was possible to check us in early depending on availability, and this is exactly what happened. We got to the hotel around 10am, and was greeted by Alex, very helpful in showing us our room and facilities available. The room was lovely, we had a large living area that was very well decorated. The bathroom was also a good size, separate shower and bath tub with a Jacuzzi. The bed itself was very comfortable, probably the best bed I've slept on in any hotel I've stayed in by far, and the room also had a PC with free internet access.
Breakfast was included in the stay, with a personal touch. The location was great and the hospitality truly first class, we loved our stay here at Fusion Suites. Thank you very much Sharmila & Alex for making our stay a memorable one.
Un hôtel vraiment agréable
C'est un h�tel du centre-ville d'Amsterdam, que je ne saurais trop vous recommander.
De grandes et belles chambres, magnifiquement d�cor�es.
D'apr�s ce que m'a dit le responsable, chaque chambre est diff�rente, et dans la mienne j'avais l'impression d'�tre chez moi, tellement elle �tait confortable. J'y ai m�me tr�s bien dormi, ce qui n'est pas toujours �vident quand on n'est dans un h�tel que pour une nuit.
Tout l'h�tel avait cette atmosph�re bon enfant et l'accueil �tait vraiment chaleureux.
Aussi, je vous conseille d'aller y faire un tour lors de votre prochain voyage � Amsterdam, je vous assure que vous ne le regretterez pas.
Fusion Suites/Tolles Hotel
Ich verbrachte im Januar 2007 w�hrend einer Gesch�ftsreise einige Wochen im Fusion Suites Number 40 und es h�tte nicht besser sein k�nnen. Sharmilla & Alex waren zwei gro�artige Gastgeber in diesem wundersch�nen Hotel. Ich wei� nicht, ob ich es so lange in einem Hotel ausgehalten h�tte. Gro�artige Lage, gro�artige Suite, wundervolles Fr�hst�ck und freundliche Gastgeber. Wie ein zweites Zuhause. Werde definitiv wieder dort absteigen.
Richtig nettes Hotel
Ich kann dieses Hotel im Zentrum von Amsterdam sehr empfehlen. Sch�ne gro�e Zimmer, die qualitativ sehr sch�n eingerichtet sind. Alle Zimmer dort sind verschieden (so jedenfalls der Manager dort) und mein Zimmer hatte ein gem�tliches Ambiente. Ich habe dort auch sehr gut geschlafen, was oft nicht so einfach ist, wenn man irgendwo nur eine Nacht verbringt. Das Hotel hatte insgesamt eine famili�re Atmosph�re und man f�hlte sich dort auch sehr willkommen. Mein Tipp an Sie: Probieren Sie es bei der n�chsten Reise nach Amsterdam einfach mal aus, ich verspreche Ihnen, dass Sie nicht entt�uscht sein werden.
Classiest value for money in Amsterdam
A seriously lovely place to stay in Amsterdam and Euro for Euro, the best money can buy. The hotel website - at the time of writing - doesn't do it justice.
The hosts, Sharmila and Alex, are fantastic, helpful and discreet. The rooms are big and classy. The road is very quiet but it is only 5 minutes walk to bustling Leidseplein.
Fusion Suites really is a fine place to stay. We spent three nights there, were greeted with a bottle of champagne, and regretted having to leave!
You really can't fall off with this place. I only hope that it isn't sold out next time I'm planning a stay. Aim for the Grand Suite on the top floor if you want the best room in the building.
Really nice hotel
I can highly recommend this hotel downtown in Amsterdam city.
Nice big rooms with high standards when it comes to the interior.
All rooms are different ( I was told by the Manager) and my room got a nice home comfort feeling. I even slept very good which sometimes could be difficult for just one night stay. The whole hotel got a touch of familiarity and you feel really welcome.
So my advice is that you should check this out for your next visit to Amsterdam as I can promise that you want be disappointed.
Just like at home!
I stayed 2 nights with my (lovely) girlfriend at number40.
The atmosphere is very friendly, as Shamila and Alex are very kind and always ready to ease your life.
The best thing is that you do not feel in a hotel at all. Each room is different, decorated with style, and very comfortable.
Surely I will come back to this place on my next trip to Amsterdam!
Comme à la maison !
J'ai pass� deux nuits avec ma (charmante) petite amie dans la chambre num�ro 40.
L'ambiance est tr�s agr�able. Shamila et Alex sont tr�s sympathiques et font tout pour vous faciliter la vie.
On n'a pas du tout l'impression d'�tre dans un h�tel, et c'est super. Chaque chambre est diff�rente, d�cor�e avec go�t et confortable.
Sans aucun doute, je reviendrai ici � l'occasion de mon prochain s�jour � Amsterdam.
Fusion Suites/Great Place
Stayed at Fusion Suites Number 40 for a couple weeks during Jan.'07 while I was on a long business trip and can't think of a better place than that. Sharmilla & Alex are two great hosts at this beautiful hotel. I can't think how I would've survived at a regular hotel.
Great location, great suite, wonderful breakfasts and friendly hosts. Home away from home...
Definitely will come back..
What a wonderful place to stay!
I booked two nights in Number 40 in Amsterdam for my fiance's birthday through www.worldby.com . This place was available but I wasn't sure if we would like it as I wanted something special, very nice and romantic. The pictures on the website were a bit shabby and old looking... Sharmila from Number 40 reassured me by email that this B&B had been totally refurbished and that the website wasn't up-to-date. I decided to trust her and book our special week-end at Number 40. We were not disappointed! This lovely B&B is overlooking the Vondel Park, in a quiet street (well-off area of Amsterdam), but still only a 5-minute walk from the Leidseplein. Museums are only a 10-minute walk away. We walked all week-end and everything is within reach, what a beautiful city! This B&B has 4 differently decorated large suites. Ours had a huge four-poster bed with the most comfortable mattress ever, a lovely bathroom and a large sofa to relax while listening to music or watching TV with all coffee/tea facilities. There is free internet access in the bedroom. The breakfast was the best and most filling breakfast you can wish for: different breads, yoghurts, eggs, hams, dutch cheese, jam, honey, cereals, fruits, etc. We were eating breakfast at 10am and were not hungry until 3pm, which was great as we could take time to visit and stroll around the city. Being French, I love my food, and I wasn't disappointed!
I would highly recommend Number 40, it has all the luxury of a 5-star hotel for only 140 euro a night. It is very comfortable, friendly, personal, close to all amenities and really romantic. It even has an elevator if you don't feel like climbing all the stairs! We will definitely be back at Number 40...

George Clooney Arrested in Sudanese Protest
George Clooney was arrested this morning outside the Sudanese Embassy in Washington, D.C.
George Clooney was arrested this morning outside the Sudanese Embassy in Washington, D.C.
You wanna believe George Clooney is gay? The actor possesses a resume full of the most beautiful girlfriends in the business, but go right ahead.
He won't stop you.
Can Jean Dujardin make it a clear Oscars sweep over George Clooney?
The Artist star became the first French man to ever win Best Actor at last night's Academy Awards, defeating such major Hollywood names as Clooney and Brad Pitt in the process. But we're giving George a chance at revenge.
By all accounts, George Clooney should be preparing an acceptance speech for this Sunday's Academy Awards. He's the favorite for Best Actor, following a tremendous performance in The Descendants.
But the actor - who only made $300,000 for that film - took time to chat with the latest issue of The Hollywood Reporter this month, opening up about a number of topics, including his friendship with another Best Actor nominee. Excerpts from the interview are below...
The whole online world now knows that Demi Moore was "smoking something" last week, and the act resulted in a "semi-conscious" state that left at least one friend in a panic.
That's because the 911 call placed on behalf of the actress was released to the public, something that's permitted in our justice something and something which befalls most celebrities who end up in the hospital.
It takes a lot to topple Brangelina.
But, let's face it, if one man were up for the job, it would be George Clooney.
The two most dramatic men at the Golden Globe Awards last night are squaring off below.
George Clooney took home the trophy for Best Actor in a Movie Drama at the ceremony, for his role in The Descendants, while Kelsey Grammer's win over Bryan Cranston, Damian Lewis and others in the category of Best Actor in a TV Drama was one of the night's biggest upsets.
George Clooney is an Oscar winner, a philanthropist and a bachelor with a new beautiful woman on his arm almost every year.
Yet the actor tells the latest issue of Rolling Stone that life wasn't always so perfect. Far from it, in fact.

Failed Mayoral Candidate Joe Martinez Has a Cologne
Former Miami-Dade County commissioner and failed mayoral candidate Joe Martinez has launched his own cologne. It's called the Commissioner. It has top notes of anise and cardamom. It retails for $33.33 online. It comes with the tag line "There's no future quitting." It's being sold in stores exclusively by Santayana Jewelry. These are all facts. This is a thing that is actually happening. A former Miami-Dade County commissioner has an actual cologne.
According to the Miami Herald, Martinez toured Concept II Cosmetics, a Doral-based fragrance maker last year while still on the commission. The company decided to whip up a small batch of a signature scent in honor of the commissioner, but Martinez smelled a business opportunity and is actually marketing and selling the cologne.
It's an odd decision considering he just launched his own consulting company and announced plans to run for Congress as a Republican against Rep. Joe Garcia. So his plate is kind of full.
Sadly, the particularly awful-looking website for the fragrance means it probably doesn't have much of an advertising budget. Otherwise, we have a pretty good pitch for a flashy TV commercial.
Remember that ad Nicole Kidman did for Chanel No. 5 in which she's running from the paparazzi in the streets of Paris? OK, it's basically exactly like that. But instead of Nicole Kidman, it's Martinez. And instead of Chanel haute couture, the wardrobe is a brown Men's Wearhouse suit.
A mocked-up Miami Herald front page appears on screen with the headline "Future of County Depends Solely on the Commissioner's Vote." Reporters hound Martinez as he runs to a waiting car. "Commissioner! Commissioner! How will you vote?" they shout. Just before entering the car, he whips out the bottle, sprays it directly into his face and whispers, "I'll vote with my nose." Then a sexy voiceover proclaims, "The Commissioner: The brave fragrance for men."

This is a small keychain tritium lantern for use with a 3x22.5mm tritium vial (tritium vial not included).
Model 1B does NOT require the clear plastic spacer tube that model 1A does.
This model has been scaled for printing in stainless steel.
The attachment hole is 2mm wide and is perfect for a 10mm split ring (not included).
The tritium vial should be set using a UV activated optically clear adhesive such as Norland 61 or Loctite glass bond. These adhesives will cure in direct sunlight in an hour or so.
I have a few assembled tritium lanterns, in stainless steel, silver and bronze, available from my Etsy shop (tritium vial glued in place with Norland 61 and split ring installed). Please contact me if you would like an assembled lantern that is not present on Etsy.

Presidential hopeful Howard Dean has styled himself as a champion of liberty and privacy, but six months after the September 11 terrorist attacks, he called for standardized, computer-chip identification cards with "universal" readers to replace drivers' licenses.
The "smart cards" he envisioned to protect against terrorist attacks and cyberterrorism would be used at security checkpoints, to confirm voter identification, to purchase alcohol and would contain health information.
They also would be required for individuals to access their personal computers and state government workers to log onto their computers.
"Privacy is the new urban myth," Mr. Dean said in a "call to action" address at the Carnegie Mellon University security workshop series in March 2002.
"Issuing such a card would have little effect on the privacy of Americans," Mr. Dean said. "We have already ceded our private information to faceless credit card companies and direct marketers who then sell it for a profit."
The digital technology Mr. Dean called for was developed by Wave Systems, which listed itself as a sponsor of the workshop. Mr. Dean's former campaign manager, Joe Trippi, who helped design the candidate's widely successful online campaign fund raising, was a consultant for Wave from 1999 to 2003. Mr. Trippi resigned from the campaign Wednesday.
Mr. Dean's campaign press staff did not return several calls for comment on whether Mr. Dean still endorses smart card driver's licenses. His campaign Web site does say the Bush administration "has unnecessarily compromised our freedoms in the name of fighting terrorism."
Bob Barr, former Georgia congressman and a leading civil liberties activist, said Mr. Dean's statements supporting privacy "sound great."
"However, as with so many politicians, their past remarks belie their commitment to or understanding of the issues on which they speak during a campaign.
"Governor Dean either does not understand the problems with a national ID, or he is just pandering for votes and hoping no one will question his earlier comments. His call for an ID chip in personal computers reflects the exact opposite of the commitment to privacy that he now so loudly proclaims," Mr. Barr said.
Mr. Dean, in his "call to action" address, said card technology should be standardized nationwide and "easily commercialized by the private sector and included in all PCs over time."
"I believe that our nation has the technological capacity to protect both our privacy and our way of life. And I am convinced that these complex solutions rest in a successful partnership between private enterprise and government — led by state governments," Mr. Dean said.
"September 11 was a wake-up call to increase the level of security at critical points in our public infrastructure, such as airports.

Inmate tells Daily News he killed two tourists in Collier, was never caught
A bullet to the back of the head killed the female.
Two to the face finished off her male companion.
"I told you I ain't going back to prison for these people," the shooter told his partner in crime.
The two men then left the bodies in a patch of woods in Immokalee, and drove off in the dead couple's Honda. Two or three hours later, they returned to the woods, burying the two bodies together.
It's a Thursday evening in Immokalee and heavy clouds roll by as the sun sets behind Lake Trafford. A cool breeze sways the trees along roadways filled with cars and trucks returning home after a long day of work.
All in all, a relatively peaceful evening.
But could this farm-working community 40 miles east of Naples also be the final resting place of two tourists who were snatched from the interstate in Lee County, driven to Immokalee and shot to death nearly 17 years ago?
Are the bodies still out there, buried, and the killer never charged?
The answers may be 'yes' -- according to a detailed, two-page letter received by the Daily News in late February.
It's written in neat, small handwriting by someone who claims to be the shooter.
The letter is signed "respectfully" by Calvin Crawford, prisoner No. 112666 at Florida State Prison in Raiford, about 40 miles north of Gainesville. Crawford is serving life in prison for a late-1991 murder in Fort Pierce in St. Lucie County on Florida's east coast.
"I'm writing to you to report and confess to a double homicide I committed in Collier County," the letter begins.
The letter writer said that in mid-August 1991, weeks after being released from prison, he violated his probation by leaving St. Lucie County and going to Miami.
There, he said, he met a "dude from Immokalee," who he "hooked up" with for some robberies.
While in the Fort Myers area of Lee County, the two forced a young "white lady and a man" off Interstate 75, the letter writer said.
The writer said that he and his partner in crime kidnapped the couple, who had been traveling south in a Honda.
The couple may have been tourists from New York, he wrote, but did not explain why he believes that.
"It was the first time I really kidnapped someone," the letter said. "I got a little paranoid cause (sic) of my probation. I told ... (the dude from Immokalee) I can't go back to prison for these people."
The two drove to the Immokalee area with the tourists and stopped the Honda near a patch of woods, the writer said. The writer said he ordered the couple out of the car, and told his partner in crime to wait.
"I followed the lady and man into the woods," the writer said. "The man asked what am I going to do to them. I shot the lady in the back of the head. The man turned quickly and was shot twice in the face."
"I told you I ain't going back to prison for these people," the shooter told his partner in crime, who ran into the woods.
The two left the area in the Honda, and returned two or three hours later to bury the couple together. After burying the bodies, the men met up with two other Immokalee residents and "hung out," the writer said.
Needing to report to his probation officer, the writer drove back to the east coast in the Honda, which he said he sold to "some Chicos in Miami."
He said he got caught with the handgun in another murder.
Calvin Cyler Crawford Jr., was born on Nov. 27, 1972, in Miami, said his godmother, Irene Kleckley, of Fort Pierce.
"We took care of him for awhile," Kleckley, 67, said. "His mother really didn't want him, so we took him in for a few years."
Growing up, Crawford was a smart boy who enjoyed reading about law, drawing and writing, Kleckley said. His handwriting is neat and small, she said.
Crawford had a lot of friends when he was young, Kleckley said, and was brought up in the church.
When he was about 10, Crawford went back to Miami to live with his mother, but returned to Fort Pierce a few years later, Kleckley said.
"He started skipping school and hanging out with the wrong crowd," Kleckley said. "That's when it all started, when he was a young kid. I guess it was about (age) 13 when I saw that he was going to really be trouble.
"It's been going on for awhile."
Now 35, Crawford has been in Florida State Prison since 1992 for first-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a felon. He is serving a life sentence with a 25-year mandatory minimum, said Gretl Plessinger, a spokeswoman for the Florida Department of Corrections.
Crawford was first sentenced to prison in 1988 in St. Lucie County for armed burglary, grand theft, escape and battery on a law enforcement officer, prison records show. Those records show that he was released from prison on Aug. 5, 1991, which is also mentioned in the letter.
In October 1991, when he was 19 years old, Crawford was arrested again in St. Lucie County and charged with murder, attempted armed robbery, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and carrying a concealed firearm, records show.
Fort Pierce police found Crawford hiding in an abandoned house after he shot 22-year-old grocery store owner Judah Hamad Batyan in the head and killed him, according to Fort Pierce Tribune reports.
Police initially thought Crawford was attempting to rob the store, but later determined the motive was revenge.
"He was kicked out of the store," Fort Pierce police Lt. Irving Hamrick told the Tribune in 1991. "Apparently he had been hanging out there quite a bit and they wanted him out of there."
The robbery charge eventually was dropped.
In April 1992, Crawford began his life sentence at Florida State Prison, the most secure lockup in the state, Plessinger said.
Since his incarceration, Crawford has had 71 disciplinary reports for violations like disorderly conduct, personal hygiene failure, spoken threats, unarmed assault, attempted arson, lying to staff and disobeying orders, Plessinger said.
Crawford got his first disciplinary report in April 1992 and his most recent in November 2007.
"He's consistently, through the course of his incarceration, found it difficult to obey the rules," Plessinger said.
Crawford is currently held in "Close Management 1," the most restrictive type of prison housing other than death row, Plessinger said. He lives and eats alone in a cell, is not authorized for work detail, and gets three showers a week.
Any time Crawford leaves his cell, he is escorted and restrained. He is allowed outside three times a week for two hours in a 10-foot by 20-foot fenced area, but is not allowed to mix with the general population.
After receiving the letter in late February, Daily News Editor Phil Lewis contacted Collier County Undersheriff Kevin Rambosk.
The Sheriff's Office has since opened an investigation.
"We have a lot of work to do here," said Jim Williams, chief of investigations. "We have to find if a couple was ever reported missing. We have to try and find a vehicle. We have to try and find firearms. ... We're going to follow every single lead to the end."
A search of Daily News archives turned up no kidnapping or missing person stories matching the couple described in the letter. Neither the Lee County Sheriff's Office nor the Fort Myers Police Department found any cold cases or missing person reports matching the description either.
"Nothing from that time frame that fits that description comes up," Lee County sheriff's spokesman John Sheehan said.
DOC's Plessinger said that a couple times a year, an inmate confesses to a crime. Sometimes the claims pan out, sometimes they don't, but authorities always treat the confessions as if they're real, she said.
"Sometimes they want the victim's family to know what happened," Plessinger said. "Sometimes they want to get it off their conscience. But sometimes people just make up the whole thing, and I know that has happened in the past. Sometimes they might do that to get attention.
"There's no way to know until investigators really investigate it."
In the letter, the writer said he recently was given a deck of cards to look at with information about cold cases and people who were either killed or are missing. The couple killed in Immokalee wasn't in the deck, the writer said, but it brought back memories.
"I feel I'm doing a good thing," the writer said. "At least to these people family. And I feel I've just took a load off myself. (sic)"
Kleckley, who said she still loves Crawford and would like to see him out of jail eventually, doubts her godson has undergone any significant change recently that would make him less of a threat. She questioned if maybe he was looking for attention.
"I don't think there is a big change, no," she said. "I don't think he found religion. I wish he had."
While it is still unclear if the murders described in the letter actually occurred, there are some details in the letter that point to the writer possibly having knowledge of specific landmarks that existed in Immokalee in the early 1990s, one of which is no longer there.
The writer named a specific road and an intersection with a "shopping center on the right and a gas station on the left."
Immokalee fire Lt. Curtis Summeralls, 46, who grew up in the area described in the letter, said he believes the gas station mentioned in the letter would have existed in 1991, but since was torn down. The area behind the gas station, now residential, had fewer homes and more wooded areas at the time, he said.
"Back then the neighborhood probably was not as occupied, so they could probably do it and nobody would ever see them," Summeralls said. "It could be under somebody's house now. You never know."

Blogs Cliopatria Is Frederick Kagan Asleep?Dec 25, 2004 7:56 pm
Is Frederick Kagan Asleep?
Frederick Kagan, voice of reason, right?
But 4 paragraphs in he makes this statement, which suggests otherwise:
In the past several weeks, the Bush administration has taken two steps it should have taken six months ago: It destroyed insurgent safe havens in Falluja and elsewhere, and it announced an increase in troop strength to prepare for Iraqi elections in January. U.S. policy will pay a price for the tardiness of these actions. Fallujans will go to the polls, if they feel safe enough, with the vision of American attacks and rebel resistance green in their memories. There may not be time for things to settle down in that war-torn city, a major center of Iraqi Sunnis, prior to the elections.
What?"There may not be time"?
If Kagan opened the newspaper he would discover that as of this moment the fighting in Falluja goes on. Three U.S. soldiers died the other day there. And to date something like a dozen or so Fallujans have been allowed back in to their city.
I am afraid that Kagan is guilty of the same sin he attributes to Donald Rumsfeld: Ignoring unpleasant facts.
I stand with George Washington. Facts are important. Forget the dreamy romantic illusions of Jefferson. Give me a soldier who knows facts.
As Joseph Ellis notes in his magisterial biography of GW, Washington held romantics in scorn. Romantics believed in the"virtuous Patriot." Washington, having seen the Patriot up close and personal, was under no illusions. The Patriot could be selfish, war-profiteering, and provincial. Better, instead, to look with cold eyes on the world and deal with it as it is.
An election in Falluja? At present no one's living in Falluja. An election there in a month is a joke.

You wrote that Fred Kagan must have been jocular to suggest
"An election in Falluja?", and commented that "At present no one's living in Falluja. An election there in a month is a joke."
I imagine that now, after the first sucessful election in Iraq in a little over a half century, and at the begining of the process leading to humane government there, Dr. Kagan must be laughing.

Nielsen to Buy Arbitron for $1.26 Billion
Media research giant makes a play into the radio measurement business.
Nielsen said Tuesday that it plans to buy Arbitron in a deal valued at about $1.26 billion.
The acquisition would give Nielsen, the largest media research firm in the world, reach into the world of radio measurement. Arbitron has long been the leader in that sector, with a strong footprint inside the U.S. radio market.
In announcing the deal -- which needs to pass regulatory scrutiny -- Nielsen said it would be purchasing all of the outstanding common stock of Arbitron for $48 per share in cash, representing a premium of about 26 percent to Arbitron's closing price on Dec. 17.
With $422 million in revenue last year, Arbitron is selling its business at three times sales. Nielsen chief executive David Calhoun commented that the acquisition is necessary to grow. Together, Nielsen and Arbitron generated total revenue of $6 billion for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30.
The transaction already has been approved by the boards of both companies.
"U.S. consumers spend almost two hours a day with radio. It is and will continue to be a vibrant and important advertising medium," said Calhoun. "Arbitron will help Nielsen better solve for unmeasured areas of media consumption, including streaming audio and out-of-home. The high level of engagement with radio and TV among rapidly growing multicultural audiences makes this central to Nielsen's priorities."
It's the second big announcement by Nielsen in two days. On Monday, the company said it had reached a multiyear agreement with Twitter to create the Nielsen Twitter TV Rating for the U.S. market. As a result, Nielsen will be pushing into the world of social media, attempting to introduce a standardized metric capturing the reach of the TV conversation on Twitter.
The Arbitron deal is intended to further recognize the inclusive media consumption habits of consumers. Nielsen president Steve Hasker noted that Nielsen will be expanding its audience measurement across screens and forms of listening. "These integrated, innovative capabilities will enable broader measurement of consumer media behavior in more markets around the world," he said.

STILLWATER — Dana Holgorsen stood there, arms crossed, swaying back and forth, hardly looking at ease behind the podium during his weekly press conference.
OSU football: Times are testy for former Cowboys offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen
Then came a question from a reporter probing his stress level, playing off Holgorsen's repeated statements that his West Virginia team needed to learn to relax and not play so uptight.
So, is Holgorsen himself relaxed?
"Well, do I look uptight right now?" Holgorsen responded.
The reporter: "Yeah, a little bit."
Well, these are stressful times in Morgantown, where the Mountaineers are 2-2 and coming off a 37-0 loss to Maryland, the program's first shutout in 12 years and the worst shutout loss in 38 seasons — all just in time for a visit from Big 12 favorite Oklahoma State on Saturday.
The ugly numbers continue: seven points combined in the two losses; six turnovers and six first downs against Maryland; two games without a passing touchdown; one pass to a wide receiver in the last game; and two wins against teams either still at the FCS level, or having just moved up.
And this is the Air Raid attack of a coach widely recognized as an offensive guru.
So, how's Holgorsen?
"It's a challenge. It is," said the third-year head coach who rode his offensive accomplishments at Oklahoma State and previous stops to the top job at West Virginia. "But we sit there and I've watched that (Maryland) film probably eight times since we got back Saturday night and there's some things that resemble football. Trust me, I know it's hard to believe, but there's things that resemble football. Our guys are trying …
"You've got to believe it's going to happen. If you don't believe it's going to happen, it's not going to happen."
Outside the program, belief — at least in this season — has been either suspended or called off altogether.
A sampling of topics from a popular WVU fan message board site:
"I think this OSU game will be pivotal in Holgorsen's … coaching career at WVU."
"There is no excuse for not having an offense ready this year."
"If you don't believe our program has turned in a downward …"
Someone also posted a poll: "How bad does Oklahoma State beat us Saturday?" The tone of the question bothered some who were upset with the give-up mentality. Still, the results were telling, with 21-30 points the leading poll punch among the multiple-choice options, followed by 31-40 points, then 11-20 points. The option of 0-10 points finished last, trailing 41-50 and 50-plus points.
"There's a lot of people, a lot of fans, that are frustrated," said Jeff Culhane, who leads the pregame, halftime and postgame shows for Mountaineer Sports Network, "especially after what happened last week in the Maryland game."
The frustration consists of some carry-over, after West Virginia crashed at the end of last season, losing six of their last eight games to finish 7-6.
Even then, a falloff was expected, after the Mountaineers lost offensive stars Geno Smith, Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey to the NFL.
